the passed device number to only contain lower 16 bits; older glibc
appears to pass some junk in upper bits sometimes, resulting in incorrect
device entries being created
Problem initially analyzed by Thor Lancelot Simon.
it checks both the alternative/emul tree, and the non-emul tree.
This makes it possible to run chrooted emulated binaries without need
to setup shadow /emul tree within the chroot hierarchy.
Only tested for COMPAT_LINUX, changes to other compat modules were
mechanical.
Fixes kern/19161 by Christian Groessler.
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
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.
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.
