This areas is called the comm pages. It is used to provide fast access to
several data and functions.
The comm pages are mapped starting at 0xffff800 (address chosed so that
absolute branch can be used, so it can be accessed even when dynamic linking
is not ready). NetBSD has the user stack here, so we need to provide a
Darwin-specific stack setup routine which sets the top of the stack at
0xbfff0000.
This implementation is not complete but it does enough to get MacOS X.3
starting again (static binaries run, dynamic binaries still have an issue).
in the comm pages functions, we only implement bcopy, pthread_self and
memcpy.
TODO:
- clean up the powerpc specific code from MD parts
- for now we map only one page to avoid a crash, we want two pages.
- write all the comm functions.
emul.darwin.init.pid instead of emul.darwin.init_pid, and so on.
This breaks backward compatibility with the pre-dynamic sysctl(8) for
emul.darwin, but it has never been available in a formal release, so
it should be alright.
remote process. This new implementation also passes all the test programs
I've written so far.
- When exceptions come from traps, no UNIX signal should evet be sent.
- Add a lock to ensure a debugger handles only one exception at a time
- Use a structure to hold flavor and behavior in exception ports, instead
of stuffing the two argument into an int.
- Implement new Mach services: thread_suspend, thread_resume and thread_abort
- Implement Darwin's ptrace PT_ATTACHEXC and PT_THUPDATE commands
- Handle NULL second argument correctly in sigprocmask.
- One mistake in the last commit (darwin_tracesig prototype)
fit what it does.
The softsignal feature is used in Darwin to trace processes. When the
traced process gets a signal, this raises an exception. The debugger will
receive the exception message, use ptrace with PT_THUPDATE to pass the
signal to the child or discard it, and then it will send a reply to the
exception message, to resume the child.
With the hook at the beginnng of kpsignal2, we are in the context of the
signal sender, which can be the kill(1) command, for instance. We cannot
afford to sleep until the debugger tells us if the signal should be
delivered or not.
Therefore, the hook to generate the Mach exception must be in the traced
process context. That was we can sleep awaiting for the debugger opinion
about the signal, this is not a problem. The hook is hence located into
issignal, at the place where normally SIGCHILD is sent to the debugger,
whereas the traced process is stopped. If the hook returns 0, we bypass
thoses operations, the Mach exception mecanism will take care of notifying
the debugger (through a Mach exception), and stop the faulting thread.
exec case, as the emulation already has the ability to intercept that
with the e_proc_exec hook. It is the responsability of the emulation to
take appropriaye action about lwp_emuldata in e_proc_exec.

argument, large sigset), and the older sigprocset (no old set argument,
small sigset). It feature old set argument and small sigset.
We now emulates this correctly.
Add some methods to IOFramebuffer (DARWIN_IOFBSETBOUNDS,
DARWIN_IOFBSETCURSORVISIBLE) and to IOHIDSystem (DARWIN_IOHIDPOSTEVENT),
all are unimplemented empty shells.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
so that a specific emulation has the oportunity to filter out some signals.
if sigfilter returns 0, then no signal is sent by kpsignal2().
There is another place where signals can be generated: trapsignal. Since this
function is already an emulation hook, no call to the sigfilter hook was
introduced in trapsignal.
This is needed to emulate the softsignal feature in COMPAT_DARWIN (signals
sent as Mach exception messages)
Exceptions coming from a trap are generated from darwin_trapsignal()
softsignals are from darwin_sigfilter(), a function that is called
from darwin_trapsignal() and from kpsignal2() [the latter from a
emulation specific hook which is not yet committed]
Make some sanity checks to avoid sending data to a port with no receiver.
