_rtld_tls_allocate and _rtld_tls_free. libpthread uses this functions to
setup the thread private area of all new threads. ld.elf_so is
responsible for setting up the private area for the initial thread.
Similar functions are called from _libc_init for static binaries, using
dl_iterate_phdr to access the ELF Program Header.
Add test cases to exercise the different TLS storage models. Test cases
are compiled and installed on all platforms, but are skipped on
platforms not marked for TLS support.
This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.
It is inspired by the TLS support in FreeBSD by Doug Rabson and the
clean ups of the DragonFly port of the original FreeBSD modifications.
to store disk quota usage and limits, integrated with ffs
metadata. Usage is checked by fsck_ffs (no more quotacheck)
and is covered by the WAPBL journal. Enabled with kernel
option QUOTA2 (added where QUOTA was enabled in kernel config files),
turned on with tunefs(8) on a per-filesystem
basis. mount_mfs(8) can also turn quotas on.

The commit includes:
- Flash layer, which gives a common API to access flash devices
- NAND controller subsystem for the flash layer
- An example OMAP driver which is used on BeagleBoard or alike ARM boards
Reasons being:
- INSTALL is GENERIC with an embedded ramdisk, and as such, can benefit from
features included within.
- INSTALL_FLOPPY has its own config(5) file, and is tailored for "small"
floppy images; it misses features/drivers that could be needed to boot
in a decent environment for recent x86 machines (like ACPI)
- makes it closer to floppies distrib available for amd64
While here, comment out INSTALL_FLOPPY and bootfloppy-big image build. NetBSD
does not use the 3.6MiB image for El Torito cdroms anymore.
Remove the FLOPPYMAX limit; i386 needs 4 floppies now. Modify boot.cfg and
release/contents to reflect reality.

No comments, no objections.
- Only A1416 Kathmandu (topcat) framebuffer on 425t is tested, but
all other variants (TigerShark, Hyperion, DaVinci, GatorBox, Renaissance)
should also work if they are working on OpenBSD/hp300.
- sti(4) and SGC bus support are not pulled because I don't have 425e
and I can't confirm that 362 and 382 actually have SGC bus.
(I'll commit a DIO based dumb driver for 362 and 382 framebuffers later)
- Xorg server with wsfb driver will also be integrated soon
once after keycode with NoSymbol problem is addressed.
(We have to re-think what code should be used on WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD)
- MI HIL keyboard and mouse drivers are working fine though
cngetc via hilkbd has some problem (still we can input commands).
- No old HP-UX like HIL ioctl compatibility (we removed COMPAT_HPUX anyway).
grfinfo(8) and hilinfo(8) will be removed shortly.
Demonstrated on NetBSD booth at Open Source Conference 2011 Kagawa.
- Add libnpf(3) - a library to control NPF (configuration, ruleset, etc).
- Add NPF support for ftp-proxy(8).
- Add rc.d script for NPF.
- Convert npfctl(8) to use libnpf(3) and thus make it less depressive.
Note: next clean-up step should be a parser, once dholland@ will finish it.
- Add more documentation.
- Various fixes.
NetBSD/emips port runs on Xilinx and Beecube FPGA systems and the
Giano system simulator.
eMIPS is a platform developed at Microsoft Research for researching
reconfigurable computing. eMIPS allows dynamic loading and scheduling
of application-specific circuits for the purpose of accelerating
computations based on the current workload.
NetBSD eMIPS support for NetBSD 4.x was written at Microsoft Research
by Alessandro Forin and Neil Pittman. Microsoft Corporation has
donated full copyright to The NetBSD Foundation.
Platform support for eMIPS is the first part of Microsoft's
contribution. The second part includes the hardware accelerator
framework and will be proposed on tech-kern soon.
/var/run/lvm and create it in rc.d/mountcritlocal. Fix dm control device
permissions to allow rw for operator.
Test if we are running lvm commands as operator and if that it's true do not
create vg backups and do not print confusing warning.
Of the 17 tests, 4 fail in both the regress and atf style. 3 additional
tests fails in atf that did NOT fail in regress: gets, fgets, and read.
I will investigate why, and update when I can, but it is still useful to
get these tests into the new format where they can be exercised.
Send the SIGALRM to the correct process when we timeout. See the note
in src/etc/rc regarding RC_PID.
The former code would leave you with a root shell when the prompt
timed out (if the tty is marked secure) while continuing the boot
process in another shell. This was easily hidden if you started
xdm(1) at boot, while the root shell remains on another tty
(accessible with CTL-ALT-F1).

- Designed to be fully MP-safe and highly efficient.
- Tables/IP sets (hash or red-black tree) for high performance lookups.
- Stateful filtering and Network Address Port Translation (NAPT).
Framework for application level gateways (ALGs).
- Packet inspection engine called n-code processor - inspired by BPF -
supporting generic RISC-like and specific CISC-like instructions for
common patterns (e.g. IPv4 address matching). See npf_ncode(9) manual.
- Convenient userland utility npfctl(8) with npf.conf(8).
NOTE: This is not yet a fully capable alternative to PF or IPFilter.
Further work (support for binat/rdr, return-rst/return-icmp, common ALGs,
state saving/restoring, logging, etc) is in progress.
Thanks a lot to Matt Thomas for various useful comments and code review.

Under some circumstances, ${TOOL_CAT} may refer to an executable

${TOOL_CAT} in emit_dist_file.
that assembles /etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist. Instead, use the Makefile's
new target, emit_dist_file, to assemble the correct NetBSD.dist.
Previously, 'postinstall -m amd64 -s $SRC_TOP' would install a
NetBSD.dist that was missing /usr/lib/i386/ et cetera.
the command being executed. This is to allow rc.d scripts to do:
run_rc_command "${@}"
instead of:
run_rc_command "${1}"
and let the command handler (start, stop, etc.) receive the arguments after
the command name.
None of the default commands allow extra arguments, and they will error out
if any are given. This is mostly useful for script-specific commands that
are only supposed to be used through the command line and, therefore, need
to provide a friendly interface.
Proposed in tech-userlevel@. No major objections except for some minor
concerns regarding whether this should be allowed or not at all. Note that
I'm not touching any of the rc.d scripts in the base system, so this is
effectively a no-op from the user point of view.
s/MP/UP/ kernels were otherwise in place.
in my testing on a U60, i couldn't really notice any different in
speed, but we need testing on a U1/U5/U10 systems to be sure that
GENERIC.UP isn't necessary.
for sparc64, this is some what required as USIIIi systems have the
memory controller on the CPU, and unless the CPU is spunup, a UP
kernel will not function on these systems. (we obviously need to
join the NUMA-for-netbsd camp now, too! :-)
this should enable the installer to function on all systems that we
support, but also give the option for people to install GENERIC.UP
on their single-cpu systems if they choose.
XXX: i haven't actually tested sysinst with this, but i have built
both sparc and sparc64 release iso's successfully with this change
(sans having to comment out kern_ctf.c.)
favor of the PKG_DBDIR variable in /etc/pkg_install.conf. The purpose
of this is to only have to define the location of the packages database
in a single place and have all other system components pick it up.
pkgdb_dir is still honored if defined and the scripts will spit out a
warning in that case, asking the administrator to migrate to the
PKG_DBDIR setting. We can't remove this compatibility workaround until,
at least, after NetBSD 6 is released.

make it unusable for building pkgsrc packages as non-root.

value when packages are found (so that the user knows he is not getting the
vulnerability checks).
Why? People is complaining. (And somehow, the argument that NetBSD doesn't
do any network operation by default convinces me that it should continue to
do so.)
But still, I will be adding a question to sysinst to enable/disable this.
packages vulnerability database up to date. This will only fetch the
file from the server if it has changed since the last run.
Add the check_pkg_vulnerabilities and check_pkg_signatures options to the
security script to check that the installed packages are sane.
All of these options are enabled by default but they will only run if
there is, at least, one installed package.
decide whether to make kernel modules: set MKKMOD to no for evbppc.
Use this in etc/Makefile to decide whether to do the "modules"
obsolete sets. Move the ./var/db/obsolete/modules entry from the
"mi" to the "module.mi" file set.
Fixes the build for evbppc.

- nss_mdns renamed to nss_multicast_dns for clarity and less chance of
confusion with nss_mdnsd (see next).
- Support using mdnsd for all unicast too with new nss_mdnsd module
(note: this mode requires an updated mdnsd too, not yet committed)
- Implement resolv.conf "search" directive support. Needed for nss_mdnsd,
potentially useful with nss_multicast_dns (you could now do
"search example.com local" in resolv.conf if you wanted to and it would
act as you might expect)
- Add references in nsswitch.conf man page and sample file
- Implement AI_CANONNAME
- Various bug fixes
is stored in /etc/zpool.cache and it is automatically loaded to kernel from
filesystem. Filesystems are then configured accordingly to their properties
loaded from cache file.
- Enhance the built-in drop-privs support and use it instead of
having the rc.conf do it. Avoids log error on startup.
From OpenSolaris, with enhancements.
- Add dumping of the unicast server list to the DumpStateLog
debugging output, a'la Mac OS X.
- Fix a locking botch that caused warnings in the log.
- Fix FILE leak. From OpenSolaris.

Using the modularise "GENERIC" kernel on an existing NetBSD 5.0 system
is difficult and error-prone. The "MONOLITHIC" kernel provides an
easy way to test a new kernel or to upgrade an existing system.
