"void *", and do the extra de-reference directly in the function. this
avoids having to cast dozens of different types to "void **", which sets
of GCC3's strict-aliasing. testing by martin@
by sparc for PROM console input channel. Demote it to kd.c as a
static variable.
While there, use callout_schedule instead of callout_reset to
reschedule the PROM polling callout, and init prom_cons_channel
statically.
and make the stack and heap non-executable by default. the changes
fall into two basic catagories:
- pmap and trap-handler changes. these are all MD:
= alpha: we already track per-page execute permission with the (software)
PG_EXEC bit, so just have the trap handler pay attention to it.
= i386: use a new GDT segment for %cs for processes that have no
executable mappings above a certain threshold (currently the
bottom of the stack). track per-page execute permission with
the last unused PTE bit.
= powerpc/ibm4xx: just use the hardware exec bit.
= powerpc/oea: we already track per-page exec bits, but the hardware only
implements non-exec mappings at the segment level. so track the
number of executable mappings in each segment and turn on the no-exec
segment bit iff the count is 0. adjust the trap handler to deal.
= sparc (sun4m): fix our use of the hardware protection bits.
fix the trap handler to recognize text faults.
= sparc64: split the existing unified TSB into data and instruction TSBs,
and only load TTEs into the appropriate TSB(s) for the permissions.
fix the trap handler to check for execute permission.
= not yet implemented: amd64, hppa, sh5
- changes in all the emulations that put a signal trampoline on the stack.
instead, we now put the trampoline into a uvm_aobj and map that into
the process separately.
originally from openbsd, adapted for netbsd by me.
following ports:
acorn26, amiga, hpcarm, sparc, sparc64
This was proposed by Martin Husemann at teck-kern@ in May to properly
test whether softintr can be established for all IPL, or only for
IPL_SOFT*. OKed by acorn26, hpcarm and sparc port masters.
kernel virtual memory. This leaves more of the precious PMEG resources
available for user space VM which speeds up things considerably, since
a reasonable PMEG working set can be maintained.
program/tool from "FOO" to "TOOL_FOO". The new variables are:
TOOL_ASN1_COMPILE TOOL_CAP_MKDB TOOL_CAT TOOL_CKSUM TOOL_COMPILE_ET
TOOL_CONFIG TOOL_CRUNCHGEN TOOL_CTAGS TOOL_DB TOOL_EQN TOOL_FGEN
TOOL_GENCAT TOOL_GROFF TOOL_HEXDUMP TOOL_INDXBIB TOOL_INSTALLBOOT
TOOL_INSTALL_INFO TOOL_M4 TOOL_MAKEFS TOOL_MAKEINFO TOOL_MAKEWHATIS
TOOL_MDSETIMAGE TOOL_MENUC TOOL_MKCSMAPPER TOOL_MKESDB
TOOL_MKLOCALE TOOL_MKMAGIC TOOL_MKTEMP TOOL_MSGC TOOL_MTREE
TOOL_PAX TOOL_PIC TOOL_PREPMKBOOTIMAGE TOOL_PWD_MKDB TOOL_REFER
TOOL_ROFF_ASCII TOOL_ROFF_DVI TOOL_ROFF_HTML TOOL_ROFF_PS
TOOL_ROFF_RAW TOOL_RPCGEN TOOL_SOELIM TOOL_SUNLABEL TOOL_TBL
TOOL_UUDECODE TOOL_VGRIND TOOL_ZIC
For each, provide default in <bsd.sys.mk> of the form:
TOOL_FOO?= foo
and for the ${USETOOLS}=="yes" case in <bsd.own.mk>, provide override:
TOOL_FOO= ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}foo
Document all of these in bsd.README.
This cleans up a chunk of potential (and actual) namespace collision
within our build infrastructure, as well as improves consistency in
the share/mk documentation and provision of appropriate defaults for
each of these variables.
* print warning if kernel image is too large.
* adjust `required space' computation to be more compatible to
what it was before.
* since there's still no code to recognise `old kernels', provide
a way to turn on `compatmode' manually, using the `-C' boot option.
