original system call number, which can be negative for a Mach trap.
We cannot just replace code by realcode, because ktrsyscall uses it as
an index in the system call table, thus crashing the kernel when the
value is negative.
this gives:
* linux sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) gives correct value for linux binaries (hz)
even if hz != 100
* glibc gets proper information on real/effective uid and enables
secure mode for suid binaries
g/c LINUX_COPYARGS_FUNCTION, replaced by linux ELF copyargs function
g/c alpha-specific linux ELF copyargs function and linux ELF defines
device. Should help performance when no fingerprints are loaded.
* Back down the securelevel, now securelevel of 2 will make lack of
fingerprint or fingerprint mismatch a fatal error. Previously this
was done at securelevel 3 or greater.
and friends should either be made first-class citizens and moved
to an include file (systm.h perhaps), or nuked completely, but
not be redefined in a lot of files.
that can be used to block a process after fork(2) or exec(2) calls. The
new process is created in the SSTOP state and is never scheduled for running.
This feature is designed so that it is esay to attach the process using gdb
before it has done anything.
It works also with sproc, kthread_create, clone...
in the event that it needs to use a special VM range (x86_64 falls
into this category). We fall back onto kernel_map if machine-dependent
code doesn't create a special map.
wanted sizeof(struct disk_sysctl), use the old size. for non-COMPAT_16,
however, we return EINVAL so that all future programs are forced into
passing the wanted size. 1.6 iostat(8) works with -current kernel again.
as seen on tech-kern.
userland structure size (if passed in).
Use the supplied userland structure size (if passed in) to check if
there is enough room to copyout the next structure.
- disk_unbusy() gets a new parameter to tell the IO direction.
- struct disk_sysctl gets 4 new members for read/write bytes/transfers.
when processing hw.diskstats, add the read&write bytes/transfers for
the old combined stats to attempt to keep backwards compatibility.
unfortunately, due to multiple bugs, this will cause new kernels and old
vmstat/iostat/systat programs to fail. however, the next time this is
change it will not fail again.
this is just the kernel portion.
be32toh produces an unsigned long result, causing a printf argument
mismatch. This is the wrong fix, but I am not going to change the
powerpc macros; fix the powerpc macros and revert my change.
While a hard link to a symbolic link is not ruled out by POSIX-2001,
the link(2) interface is to perform normal pathname resolution,
which includes the resolution of symbolic links.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
with privilege elevation no suid or sgid binaries are necessary any
longer. Applications can be executed completely unprivileged. Systrace
raises the privileges for a single system call depending on the
configured policy.
Idea from discussions with Perry Metzger, Dug Song and Marcus Watts.
Approved by christos and thorpej.
now carries the name of the attachment (e.g. "tlp_pci" or "audio"),
and cfattach structures are registered at boot time on a per-driver
basis. The cfdriver and cfattach pointers are cached in the device
structure when attached.
devices have been discovered. All finalizer routines are iteratively
invoked until all of them report that they have done no work.
Use this hook to fix a latent bug in RAIDframe autoconfiguration of
RAID sets exposed by the rework of SCSI device discovery.
the most "officially looking" is IEC 60027-2, ie "Ki", "Mi", ...,
which is not too popular, and which would require more code changes.
So stick with the traditional capital "K" for (divisor==1024), and use
the SI "k" otherwise (ie (divisor==1000)).
a vector of indices into the cfdata table to specify potential parents,
record the interface attributes that devices have and add a new "parent
spec" structure which lists the iattr, as well as optionally listing
specific parent device instances.

...for a detailed description.
While here, const poison some things, as suggested by Matt Thomas.
This is done by adding an extra argument to mi_switch() and
cpu_switch() which specifies the new process. If NULL is passed,
then the new function chooseproc() is invoked to wait for a new
process to appear on the run queue.
Also provides an opportunity for optimisations if "switching to self".
Also added are C versions of the setrunqueue() and remrunqueue()
low-level primitives if __HAVE_MD_RUNQUEUE is not defined by MD code.
All these changes are contingent upon the __HAVE_CHOOSEPROC flag being
defined by MD code to indicate that cpu_switch() supports the changes.
memory fault handler. IRIX uses irix_vm_fault, and all other emulation
use NULL, which means to use uvm_fault.
- While we are there, explicitely set to NULL the uninitialized fields in
struct emul: e_fault and e_sysctl on most ports
- e_fault is used by the trap handler, for now only on mips. In order to avoid
intrusive modifications in UVM, the function pointed by e_fault does not
has exactly the same protoype as uvm_fault:
int uvm_fault __P((struct vm_map *, vaddr_t, vm_fault_t, vm_prot_t));
int e_fault __P((struct proc *, vaddr_t, vm_fault_t, vm_prot_t));
- In IRIX share groups, all the VM space is shared, except one page.
This bounds us to have different VM spaces and synchronize modifications
to the VM space accross share group members. We need an IRIX specific hook
to the page fault handler in order to propagate VM space modifications
caused by page faults.
return failure if swap is full and there are no free physical pages.
have malloc() use this flag if M_CANFAIL is passed to it.
use M_CANFAIL to allow amap_extend() to fail when memory is scarce.
this should prevent most of the remaining hangs in low-memory situations.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
