- remove cpu_exit.9.
- remove ctxsw.9 from makefile because it's too stale.
XXX maybe it will revive as mi_switch.9 later.
- add cpu_switchto.9 to makefile.
Introduce a parameter -r to control the root node type. For example
"dtfs -r 'lnk /etc' /puffs" mounts dtfs with the root node as a
symbolic link to /etc:
jojonaru# ./dtfs -r 'lnk /etc' /puffs
jojonaru# ls -l /puffs
lrw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 4 May 17 14:06 /puffs -> /etc
jojonaru# cd /puffs
jojonaru# pwd
/etc
jojonaru#
Extra credit for figuring out how to unmount this file system with
umount(8).
Likewise, "dtfs -r 'chr 2 12' /puffs" makes /puffs (i386) /dev/zero etcetc.
Bug fixes:
- Fix crash reported by Scott Ellis on current-users@.
- Fix race conditions in enforcing the Veriexec rename and remove
policies. These are NOT security issues.
- Fix memory leak in rename handling when overwriting a monitored
file.
- Fix table deletion logic.
- Don't prevent query requests if not in learning mode.
KPI updates:
- fileassoc_table_run() now takes a cookie to pass to the callback.
- veriexec_table_add() was removed, it is now done internally. As a
result, there's no longer a need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE.
- veriexec_report() was removed, it is now internal.
- Perform sanity checks on the entry type, and enforce default type
in veriexec_file_add() rather than in veriexecctl.
- Add veriexec_flush(), used to delete all Veriexec tables, and
veriexec_dump(), used to fill an array with all Veriexec entries.
New features:
- Add a '-k' flag to veriexecctl, to keep the filenames in the kernel
database. This allows Veriexec to produce slightly more accurate
logs under certain circumstances. In the future, this can be either
replaced by vnode->pathname translation, or combined with it.
- Add a VERIEXEC_DUMP ioctl, to dump the entire Veriexec database.
This can be used to recover a database if the file was lost.
Example usage:
# veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures
Note that only entries with the filename kept (that is, were loaded
with the '-k' flag) will be dumped.
Idea from Brett Lymn.
- Add a VERIEXEC_FLUSH ioctl, to delete all Veriexec entries. Sample
usage:
# veriexecctl flush
- Add a 'veriexec_flags' rc(8) variable, and make its default have
the '-k' flag. On systems using the default signatures file
(generaetd from running 'veriexecgen' with no arguments), this will
use additional 32kb of kernel memory on average.
- Add a '-e' flag to veriexecctl, to evaluate the fingerprint during
load. This is done automatically for files marked as 'untrusted'.
Misc. stuff:
- The code for veriexecctl was massively simplified as a result of
eliminating the need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE, and now uses a single
pass of the signatures file, making the loading somewhat faster.
- Lots of minor fixes found using the (still under development)
Veriexec regression testsuite.
- Some of the messages Veriexec prints were improved.
- Various documentation fixes.
All relevant man-pages were updated to reflect the above changes.
Binary compatibility with existing veriexecctl binaries is maintained.
controllers. These controllers can be found on add-on PCIe cards, or
on some motherboards to provide the PATA connectivity (e.g. some intel
ICH8-based motherboards).
Thanks to JMicron Technology for providing me documentation and
different sample boards for this work.
device controllers, and more specifically raid controllers.
Add a new sensor type, ENVSYS_DRIVE, to report drive status. From OpenBSD.
Add bio and sysmon support to mfi(4). This allow userland to query
status for drives and logical volumes attached to a mfi(4) controller. While
there fix some debug printfs in mfi so they compile.
Add bio(4) to amd64 and i386 GENERIC.
Note that the emulation root is linux32 when running i386 linux programs
on an amd64 system.
Note that paths that start /../ are only looked up in the real root.
Modify the bug/note about symlinks not being looked up in the emulation root.
Some of this stuff ought to be in a generic 'emulation' man page.
the Linux (BlueZ) API.
- L2CAP or RFCOMM connections can require the baseband radio link
mode be any of:
authenticated (devices are paired)
encrypted (implies authentication)
secured (encryption, plus generate new link key)
- for sockets, the mode is set using setsockopt(2) and the socket
connection will be aborted if the mode change fails.
- mode settings will be applied during connection establishment, and
for safety, we enter a wait state and will only proceed when the mode
settings are successfuly set.
- It is possible to change the mode on already open connections, but
not possible to guarantee that data already queued (from either end)
will not be delivered. (this is a feature, not a bug)
- bthidev(4) and rfcomm_sppd(1) support "auth", "encrypt" and
"secure" options
- btdevctl(8) by default enables "auth" for HIDs, and "encrypt" for
keyboards (which are required to support it)
