be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
- allow vnddetach() to return EBUSY if any vnd's are currently initialised.
lkm:
- add new 'dev' directory, initially with just a 'vnd' LKM. for now, the
vnd lkm driver requests 4 devices....
XXX: vnd should be converted to a psuedo-device that creates & deletes
instances of itself (vnd0, vnd1, etc) when vnconfig -c/-u are called,
then the vnd lkm driver can not be limited to '4' by default.
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
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.
