of using it directly, use a local, and set that local to be curproc

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

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.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
Understands allocation aligment and boundary restrictions, "specific region"
allocations, and suballocations. Capable of statically or dynamically
allocating map overhead.
Many thanks to Matthias Drochner for running the code for me, and sending
me bug fixes, optimizations, and suggestions. Also, many thanks to
Chris Demetriou for his extremely helpful suggestions.
XXX No manual page yet. One is forthcoming, as soon as I can scare up
the time to write one. This has been sitting on my plate for quite a
while, and several projects are waiting for it. Time to move on.
delayed write is logically converted to a sync write, mirroring the async case.
In bdwrite(), move the tape case earlier to avoid needless reassignbuf()s.
and free some space by calling m_reclaim(). Also, log the "mb_map full"
error message (at most) every 60-seconds. The old code would log it
once over the lifetime of the system, but that's not a useful diagnostic.
(More useful is the new behaviour, which roughly indicates how often
periods of heavy load occur, without spamming the console and system
logs with messages.)
Right now, this code just panic()s (same as kmem_malloc() used to do
before, but different message), but in the future it should be modified
to try to reclaim wasted memory.
automatic array rather than an array allocated with alloca().
(This was the only use of alloca() in the kernel, and it wasn't
necessary or consistent with the way other functions in this file
work.)
structure and 'aux', right before ca_attach is called for the
newly-attached device. This allows the alpha port to do root device
autodetection without modifying every bus and device driver which could
be in the 'boot path.' In the long run, it may make sense to make
this machine-independent.
* Make 2nd and 3rd args timespecs, not timevals.
* Consistently pass a Boolean as the 4th arg (except in LFS).
Also, fix ffs_update() and lfs_update() to actually change the nsec fields.
documented behavior. sysctl(3) is documented to return 0 on success,
-1 on failure. The previous behavior was to return -1 on failure
and the number of bytes copied back down to user space.
Fixes part of PR #1999, from Kevin M. Lahey <kml@nas.nasa.gov>
return a struct device * of attached device, or NULL if device attach failed,
rather than 1/0 for success/failure, so that code that bus code which needs
to know what the child device is doesn't have to open-code a hacked variant
of config_found(). Make config_attach() return struct device *, rather than
void, to facilitate that.
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
argument list. This allows easy 'submatching', which will eliminate a fair
bit of slightly tricky duplicated code from various busses. config_found()
is now a #define in sys/device.h, which invokes config_found_sm().
and the "kernel.tar.Z" distribution on louie.udel.edu, which is older than
xntp 3.4y or 3.5a, but contains newer kernel source fragments.
This commit adds support for a new kernel configuration option, NTP.
If NTP is selected, then the system clock should be run at "HZ", which
must be defined at compile time to be one value from:
60, 64, 100, 128, 256, 512, 1024.
Powers of 2 are ideal; 60 and 100 are supported but are marginally less
accurate.
If NTP is not configured, there should be no change in behavior relative
to pre-NTP kernels.
These changes have been tested extensively with xntpd 3.4y on a decstation;
almost identical kernel mods work on an i386. No pulse-per-second (PPS)
line discipline support is included, due to unavailability of hardware
to test it.
With this in-kernel PLL support for NetBSD, both xntp 3.4y and xntp
3.5a user-level code need minor changes. xntp's prototype for
syscall() is correct for FreeBSD, but not for NetBSD.
(1) do not cast it to (void *), and
(2) print it as 0x%x, rather than %p.
This is not perfect (because the data being printed is "int32_t"-sized), but
is more correct than printing it as a pointer because the data is _not_ a
pointer, it is data to be printed in hex, and on some systems, pointers are
wider than the data items being printed, which leads to excess and misleading
output. The only 'right' solution to this is to have a printf specifier
that prints the fixed-sized types the right way, and that's not really
practical.
* Change the argument names to vop_link so they actually make sense.
* Implement vop_link and vop_symlink for all file systems, so they do proper
cleanup.
* Require the file system to decide whether or not linking and unlinking of
directories is allowed, and disable it for all current file systems.
specific probe function did not specify it. It picks the same address
as mmap() does for a non-fixed map at address 0. See also the comment
around a similar line of code in vm/vm_mmap.c.
it's text or data; use the entry point instead (this solves some trouble
with ELF executables with strange permissions)
* Incorporate some fixes from r_friedl@informatik.uni-kl.de sent to
netbsd-bugs a while ago
- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.

page.
they're already defined for some reason (this can happen
on the alpha, for example, which needs to define EXEC_ECOFF
in the std.alpha config file).
(2) minor spacing consistency.
no practical consequence on 32-bit systems. old prototype was
int profil(char *, int, int, int), and new one is int profile(char *,
size_t, u_long, u_int). the size_t is the size of the buffer,
and the u_long is the 'starting offset'. (I changed the last int
to u_int, because it's treated as a u_int everywhere, and isn't
logically a signed value.)
