Makefiles so that we can make changes to it centrally as needed and have
less mess. Fixes the sun2 build that needs rumpvfs after librump after
the latest changes.
userspace. The old fetch(9) and store(9) APIs (fubyte(), fuword(),
subyte(), suword(), etc.) are retired and replaced with new ufetch(9)
and ustore(9) APIs that can return proper error codes, etc. and are
implemented consistently across all platforms. The interrupt-safe
variants are no longer supported (and several of the existing attempts
at fuswintr(), etc. were buggy and not actually interrupt-safe).
Also augmement the ucas(9) API, making it consistently available on
all plaforms, supporting uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, even
those that do not have CAS or LL/SC primitives.
Welcome to NetBSD 8.99.37.
The KCOV driver implements collection of code coverage inside the kernel.
It can be enabled on a per process basis from userland, allowing the kernel
program counter to be collected during syscalls triggered by the same
process.
The device is oriented towards kernel fuzzers, in particular syzkaller.
Currently the only supported coverage type is -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc.
The KCOV driver was initially developed in Linux. A driver based on the
same concept was then implemented in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
Documentation is borrowed from OpenBSD and ATF tests from FreeBSD.
This patch has been prepared by Siddharth Muralee, improved by <maxv>
and polished by myself before importing into the mainline tree.
All ATF tests pass.
framework. At the moment, this just tests for plain load (i.e. no arguments
passed to load) and later unload of the module through the modctl(2) system
call. The tools are not tested yet.
