This is a legacy interface from 4.4BSD, and it was
introduced to overcome shortcomings of ptrace(2) at that time, which are
no longer relevant (performance). Today /proc/#/ctl offers a narrow
subset of ptrace(2) commands and is not applicable for modern
applications use beyond simplistic tracing scenarios.
This removal will simplify kernel internals. Users will still be able to
use all the other /proc files.
This change won't affect other procfs files neither Linux compat
features within mount_procfs(8). /proc/#/ctl isn't available on Linux.
Remove:
- /proc/#/ctl from mount_procfs(8)
- P_FSTRACE note from the documentation of ps(1)
- /proc/#/ctl and filesystem tracing documentation from mount_procfs(8)
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL documentation from kauth(9)
- source code file miscfs/procfs/procfs_ctl.c
- PFSctl and procfs_doctl() from sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs.h
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL from sys/sys/kauth.h
- PSL_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/proc.h
- P_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/sysctl.h
Reduce code complexity after removal of this functionality.
Update TODO.ptrace accordingly: remove two entries about /proc tracing.
Do not keep legacy notes as comments in the headers about removed
PSL_FSTRACE / P_FSTRACE, as this interface had little number of users
(close or equal to zero).
Proposed on tech-kern@.
All filesystem tracing utility users are encouraged to switch to ptrace(2).

route command exits if it receives <count> routing messages where
<count> is a value specified by -c.
The option is useful to get only particular message(s) in a test script.
CAN stands for Controller Area Network, a broadcast network used
in automation and automotive fields. For example, the NMEA2000 standard
developped for marine devices uses a CAN network as the link layer.
This is an implementation of the linux socketcan API:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt
you can also see can(4).
This adds a new socket family (AF_CAN) and protocol (PF_CAN),
as well as the canconfig(8) utility, used to set timing parameter of
CAN hardware. Also inclued is a driver for the CAN controller
found in the allwinner A20 SoC (I tested it with an Olimex lime2 board,
connected with PIC18-based CAN devices).
There is also the canloop(4) pseudo-device, which allows to use
the socketcan API without CAN hardware.
At this time the CANFD part of the linux socketcan API is not implemented.
Error frames are not implemented either. But I could get the cansend and
canreceive utilities from the canutils package to build and run with minimal
changes. tcpudmp(8) can also be used to record frames, which can be
decoded with etherreal.
Since day0 pt_exec.c shipped with a dummy stub for "exec" operation, stop
waiting longer and eliminate it now. This functionality can be achieved
with filters.
Drop FreeBSD CVS repos references. There are certainly still some mirrors
or old mirrors available, but since the project moved to SVN+GIT entirely
drop it.
Add CVS Id - where missing - to the documentation files. This helps users
to determine how recent are the files.
- Expand the SMART / Health Information Log Page (Page 02) printout based on
NVM Express 1.2.1 Standard.
- Implement Intel-specific log pages.
- Implement HGST-specific log pages.
- Implement wdc-specific nvme control options.
- Add the ability to dump log pages directly in binary to stdout.
support for Endian-Independent FFS and Apple UFS is disabled unless FFS_EI=1
and APPLE_UFS=1 are added to CRUNCHENV, respectively.
This reduces the size of ramdisk image for atari by over 15KB.
Thanks tsutsui and christos for their useful comments.
In the prototype of the gzclose() function of changed from:
typedef struct gzFile_s *gzFile; /* semi-opaque gzip file descriptor */
to:
typedef voidp gzFile;
This caused type mismatch when calling funopen(3) as:
'int (*)(void *)' != 'int (*)(struct gzFile_s *)'
Cast gzclose to (int (*)(void *)) when used in funopen(3).
default, build a handful of tools as n64 so they work properly.
unfortunately, they're also static as dynamic n64 has a problem.
of these tools pstat is probably the lowest hanging fruit to convert
to sysctl. systat would be close were it not for the netstat screen,
which includes netstat itself.
the rest are difficult to perhaps foolish.
the upside is that netstat, pmap and fstat all work properly now.
routed previousely ignored local routes, which have RTF_LOCAL flag, because
such routes have RTF_LLINFO and routed ignored routes having the flag. When
we obsoleted RTF_LLINFO, we removed the ignoring logic from routed, then
routed started removing local routes unexpectedly.
Fix this behavior by teaching local routes to routed to ignore them.
kardel@ reported the issue and helped testing, thanks!
small or wildly too large intervals, but it did allow intervals that
failed at poll(). Since that's signed integer overflow and thus UB,
better not to.
Reject packet intervals < 1 ns as they lead to infinite loops adding
zero timespecs.
Fix the behind-schedule behavior so it doesn't spend all its time in
that loop adding very small timespecs. Try ping -c 500 -i 0.000000001
to see this in action with the old ping.
Check for values between INT_MAX and LONG_MAX (if they're different)
when using strtol to get an int. This applies to the -c and -l options;
the other uses were already checked.
Also limit the inter-packet interval given with -i to values that
don't cause integer overflow calling poll() with milliseconds.
Really large intervals (the number is read as floating point) can
produce positive poll() values but negative integers when converted to
struct timespec; this produces behavior akin to using -l at first and
could be construed as a local DoS vulnerability.
Now you can do
# mount_puffs -o rdonly rot13fs#/home/foo /mnt/rot13
or in fstab
rot13fs#/home/foo /mnt/rot13 puffs rdonly
to start rot13fs with arguments identical to
# rot13fs -o rdonly /home/foo /mnt/rot13
parameters/enables for error recovery, similar to {get,set}cache.
Many old SCSI disks shipped with reallocation disabled, albeit supporting it.
Minor (cosmetic) fixup of scsi_disk_pages while there.

OK christos@
previously attempting to use mount -t ext2 like myself would result in
the warning "mount: mount_ext2 not found for /mnt", which (if you're me)
can be misunderstood as "/mnt is not an ext2 filesystem"...
change it to "mount: mount_ext2 not found"
Strictly this shouldnt be (and hasn't been for almost a year) a problem,
but there are compilers that warn about locals shadowing globals (which
this is/was) and it is easy to avoid, so ... No functinal difference.
mask set is non-contiguous. We don't prohibit setting such things
(even if they are basically useless) so they can be set by accident.
ifconfig ifN 10.0.0.1 netmask 225.0.0.0
produced
ifN .. inet 10.0.0.1/8
with the previous form (since 225 is 0xE1), now it produces
ifN ... inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xe1000000
If the "netmask" form ever appears in ifconfig output, it (now)
means that the netmask is non-contig, which should make that case
obvious (whther intended, or set by accident)
Julian Elischer [1] and the Mach 2.5 Installation notes [2].
I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared
as I didn't find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo
history. fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this,
I've avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.

e2di_size_high; even Linux ext2 filesystem code actually uses it
unconditionally this way and ext4 code finally also calls it that way
in their struct definition too; if there was any trace of this for other
purpose it's long gone
sysctl variable using ?= fails with EPERM, don't print an error
message.
Ideally setting a sysctl to the same value it already has should also
not fail regardless of permissions, but this would need to be done in
the kernel.
so they can't illegally reenter libc.
Fixes the problem Greg A. Woods describes in PR 51267, which might or
might not be the original submitter's problem.
The superblock field that distinguishes between 4.2BSD and 4.4BSD
inodes is really only relevant on a UFS1 file system. Make sure that
it is a UFS1 fs before using fs_old_inodefmt.
Note that the NetBSD newfs and mkfs utilities initialize fs_old_inodefmt
even for UFS2, so problems were apparent only on file systems created
by other operating systems, for example, FreeBSD.
