backed by physical pages (ie. because it reused a previously-freed one),
so that we can skip a bunch of useless work in that case.
this fixes the underlying problem behind PR 18543, and also speeds up fork()
quite a bit (eg. 7% on my pc, 1% on my ultra2) when we get a cache hit.
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
