comment to note that this printf still isn't quite right (possibly
because this is now a pseudodevice), and the autoconf printout when
mounting root on a ramdisk isn't right, either. This should both be
fixed.
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.

in. Unfortunately, the BPF-only code called a label that wan't also
being #if'ed, and this made the compiler bitch. Now that we compile
with -Werror, this prevented the thing from compiling at all! (sigh)
independent options available during kernel configuration. The man
page is still incomplete, but there is enough in it that it should be
in the repository. Next on the list: port specific versions of this
page.
Many thanks to the cast of thousands who helped contribute text for
this.
- Try V3 first for diskless booting. Fall back to V2 if V3 fails.
- optionally (option NFS_BOOT_TCP) try a TCP mount first
for diskless booting. Fall back to UDP if it fails.
- Enable switching between UDP and TCP for remounts.
VM_PROT_READ|VM_PROT_EXECUTE. The previous default (VM_PROT_ALL)
would cause the following scenario:
- someone attempts to write kernel text (my test was writing
to an offset of /dev/kmem which was known to be in the text
segment, while in single-user mode).
- enter trap() with MMU fault (because of RO pte).
- trap() calls vm_fault(), which looks up vm_map_entry for
fauling address.
- vm_fault interprets write fault and VM_PROT_WRITE (in VM_PROT_ALL)
as COW; new page allocated, data copied to new page, new page
mapped in at trunc_page(<faulting va>).
- wow, look at the fireworks!
Fixes two potential symptoms:
- kernacc() returns TRUE when checking for permission to write
an offset in kernel text, which is bogus, since the text has
been mapped RO by pmap_bootstrap().
- Handling of a stray pointer that attempted to scribble into
kernel text would not be executed properly.
