the code that `knows' about /dev/[pt]tyXX names (the BSD ptys) into a separate
file. Make an interface to be used by the tty creating provider. The code
to enable old PTY searching via ptm is enabled via COMPAT_BSDPTY, and it
is turned on by default on all kernels that have compatibility options enabled.
the number of bytes in the send queue, and FIONSPACE reports the
number of free bytes in the send queue. These ioctls permit applications
to monitor file descriptor transmission dynamics.
In examining prior art, FIONWRITE exists with the semantics given
here. FIONSPACE is provided so that programs may easily determine how
much space is left in the send queue; they do not need to know the
send queue size.
The fact that a write may block even if there is enough space in the
send queue for it is noted in the documentation.
FIONWRITE functionality may be used to implement TIOCOUTQ for Linux
emulation - Linux extended this ioctl to sockets, even though they are
not ttys.
- Add a booted_wedge variable that indicates the wedge that was booted
from. If this is NULL, booted_partition is consulted.
- Adjust setroot() and its support routines for root-on-wedges. Could
use some tidy-up, but this works for now.
necessary information to create the pseudo-device instance. Pseudo-device
device's will reference this cfdata, just as normal devices reference
their corresponding cfdata.
Welcome to 2.99.10.
sense, since 1) the condition is quite normal condition and 2) there is
pool between us and uvm.
- Make the step of allocation possibility a bit seamless by moving the origin
of curve from 0 to lowater mark.
Simon told that this helps for interactive performance when there is heavy
disk activity in PR#27057.
a proclist and call the specified function for each of them.
primarily to fix a procfs locking problem, but i think that it's useful for
others as well.
while i'm here, introduce PROCLIST_FOREACH macro, which is similar to
LIST_FOREACH but skips marker entries which are used by proclist_foreach_call.
kernel message buffer/log. Its off by default and can be switched on in the
kernel configuration on build time, be set as a variable in ddb and be set
using sysctl.
This adds the sysctl value
ddb.tee_msgbuf = 0
by default.
The functionality is especially added and aimed for developers who are not
blessed with a serial console and wish to keep all their ddb output in the
log. Specifying /l as a modifier to some selected commands will also put
the output in the log but not all commands provide one nor has the same
meaning for all commands.
This feature could in the future also be implemented as an ddb command but
that could lead to more bloat allthough maybe easier for non developpers to
use when mailing their backtraces from kernel crashes.
segment should succeed even if the segment would be marked removed; use this
to implement the Linux-compatible semantics of shmat(2)
this fixes the old Linux VMware3 graphics problem with local display,
and possibly other local Linux X clients using MIT-SHM
for Linux-compatible shmat() behaviour - shmat() for the removed shared memory
segment must work from all callers, the shared memory id could be passed e.g.
to native X server via MIT-SHM
temporarily remove the functionality, the Linux-compatible semantics
will be reimplemented differently
the reset condition are processed properly; this fixes PR#26687 by
Jan Schaumann

and helped test patches

calls to ensure that the vnode lock state is as expected when the VOP
call is made. Modify vnode_if.src to set the expected state according
to the documenting lock table for each VOP. Modify vnode_if.sh to emit
the checks.
Notes:
- The checks are only performed if the vnode has the VLOCKSWORK bit
set. Some file systems (e.g. specfs) don't even bother with vnode
locks, so of course the checks will fail.
- We can't actually run with VNODE_LOCKDEBUG because there are so many
vnode locking problems, not the least of which is the "use SHARED for
VOP_READ()" issue, which screws things up for the entire call chain.
Inspired by similar changes in OpenBSD, but implemented differently.
