- Rename EX_NOBLOB to EX_NOCOALESCE; it's much more descriptive of
what's going on.
- In extent_free_region_descriptor(), if we're a fixed extent,
freeing a dynamically allocated region descriptor, and someone
is waiting on the freelist, let the waiter have it, rather than
free'ing it back to the system.
- Use ALIGN(), rather than our homegrown EXTENT_ALIGN(), when dealing
with map overhead. Privatize the EXTENT_ALIGN() macro; there's no need
to export it.
- Implement EX_BOUNDZERO flag. This changes the boundary line policy in
extent_alloc() and extent_alloc_subregion(); boundary lines are
computed relative to 0, rather then the start of the extent.
- Fix a nasty race between multiple participants doing region and
descriptor allocation.
- Add a new flag to specify that it's ok to wait for space in the
extent: EX_WAITSPACE.
- Blow away an unnecessary splhigh()/splx().
- Put a bunch of sanity code inside #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC/#endif.
of using it directly, use a local, and set that local to be curproc
if curproc is not NULL else a pointer to process 0's proc struct.
If syncing disks while handling a panic that occurred while 'curproc'
was NULL, the old code would dereference NULL and die.
ktrace context switch checking. If syncing disks while handling a panic
that occurred while 'curproc' was NULL, the old code would dereference
NULL and die. The (slight) reorganization was done so that space (one extra
splhigh()), rather than time (one extra comparison), would be wasted.
section. Patch come up with by Bob Baron <rvb+@cs.cmu.edu> and myself.
This entire bit of code (the code which sets daddr/dsize and taddr/tsize)
is very bogus, but it's not clear what the 'right' way to fix it is
and this patch fixes a problem preventing some ELF executables from
being run.
ELF_ROUND (round to higher alignment boundary), and use them properly.
Also, change a bit of code in elf_load_psection to use the next ELF_ROUND
macro. This fixes a bug found by Robert Baron <rvb+@cs.cmu.edu> where
elf_load_psection, if given a properly aligned address at which to load
the section, would round actually load it at the next highest alignment
boundary.
for NOEXEC and NOSUID, and make sure the interpreter file is executable.
The mount point checks are done because, even though the interpreter
is not the program being 'executed', code from the interpreter is being
executed, and so the mount point's flags should be respected.
and shell script support to be optional (conditioned on EXEC_SCRIPT).
Remove the implicit inclusion of EXEC_ECOFF when COMPAT_OSF1 and/or
COMPAT_ULTRIX is included, and of EXEC_ELF32 when COMPAT_LINUX and/or
COMPAT_SVR4 is included.
queue.h list/queue head initializer macros. mountlist was converted so
that panics (or other reboots) early on in kernel startup don't cause
sys_sync() to croak. vnode_free_list was converted because it was nearby.
macros to use to remove #ifdefs from the machine ID case check.
Eventually, these headers will contain other information, e.g.
machine-dependent relocation information, etc.
p->p_vmspace->vm_shm would be NULL. Protected the rest of the cases where
that might happen too. This was the reason why sunxdoom would panic the
system in SVR4 emulation.
programs which attach their own header) can crash the machine. The problem
in this case was:
a variable "space" was set to the total data to copy,
len was used to remember how much to copy in this chunk (mbuf),
in one case, len = min(MCLBYTES - max_hdr, resid) but
size -= MCLBYTES;
instead of
size -= len;
Note that userland programs can still crash the machine by providing
bogus data in the ip->ip_len field I suspect. I haven't verified this,
but will soon be doing so and applying a fix of some sort. Probably
clamping the ip->ip_len value to the true packet size will be ok.
