compiled with -g. For the initial set, netbsd on amd64 grows by around
80KB. This allows much easier use of GDB for post-mortem debugging as
it can understand the layout of data structures. The additional data can
be strip(1)ped off normally for size constraint environments.
for config_time.h and athhal_options.h.
Note: we still copy param.c because I'm told that we should still support
people editing that on a per-compile basis.
Add schedctl(8) - a program to control scheduling of processes and threads.
Notes:
- This is supported only by SCHED_M2;
- Migration of LWP mechanism will be revisited;
Proposed on: <tech-kern>. Reviewed by: <ad>.
For regular (non PIE) executables randomization is enabled for:
1. The data segment
2. The stack
For PIE executables(*) randomization is enabled for:
1. The program itself
2. All shared libraries
3. The data segment
4. The stack
(*) To generate a PIE executable:
- compile everything with -fPIC
- link with -shared-libgcc -Wl,-pie
This feature is experimental, and might change. To use selectively add
options PAX_ASLR=0
in your kernel.
Currently we are using 12 bits for the stack, program, and data segment and
16 or 24 bits for mmap, depending on __LP64__.
via the standard audio interfaces is redirected back to userland as raw
PCM data on /dev/padN.
One example usage is to stream audio to an AirTunes compatible device using
rtunes (http://www.nazgul.ch/dev_rtunes.html), ie:
$ rtunes - < /dev/pad0
$ mpg123 -a /dev/sound1 blah.mp3
Another option is to capture audio output from eg. Real Player, by simply
instructing Real Player to output to /dev/sound1, and running:
$ cat /dev/pad0 > blah.pcm
Rip the transport code completely out of puffs and generalize it
into an independent module which will be used for multiple purposes
in the future. This module is called the Pass-to-Userspace
Transporter (known as "putter" among friends).
This is very much work-in-progress and one dependency with puffs
remains: the request framing format.
The device name is still /dev/puffs, but that will change soon.
Users of puffs need the following in their kernel configs now:
pseudo-device putter
on the original approach of SVR4 with some inspirations about balancing
and migration from Solaris. It implements per-CPU runqueues, provides a
real-time (RT) and time-sharing (TS) queues, ready to support a POSIX
real-time extensions, and also prepared for the support of CPU affinity.
The following lines in the kernel config enables the SCHED_M2:
no options SCHED_4BSD
options SCHED_M2
The scheduler seems to be stable. Further work will come soon.

Thanks <ad> for the benchmarks!
For now these just pass through to the current softintr code.
(The naming is different to allow softint/softintr to co-exist for a while.
I'm hoping that should make it easier to transition.)
from the forwarding table's users:
Introduce rt_walktree() for walking the routing table and
applying a function to each rtentry. Replace most
rn_walktree() calls with it.
Use rt_getkey()/rt_setkey() to get/set a route's destination.
Keep a pointer to the sockaddr key in the rtentry, so that
rtentry users do not have to grovel in the radix_node for
the key.
Add a RTM_GET method to rtrequest. Use that instead of
radix_node lookups in, e.g., carp(4).
Add sys/net/link_proto.c, which supplies sockaddr routines for
link-layer socket addresses (sockaddr_dl).
Cosmetic:
Constify. KNF. Stop open-coding LIST_FOREACH, TAILQ_FOREACH,
et cetera. Use NULL instead of 0 for null pointers. Use
__arraycount(). Reduce gratuitous parenthesization.
Stop using variadic arguments for rip6_output(), it is
unnecessary.
Remove the unnecessary rtentry member rt_genmask and the
code to maintain it, since nothing actually used it.
Make rt_maskedcopy() easier to read by using meaningful variable
names.
Extract a subroutine intern_netmask() for looking up a netmask in
the masks table.
Start converting backslash-ridden IPv6 macros in
sys/netinet6/in6_var.h into inline subroutines that one
can read without special eyeglasses.
One functional change: when the kernel serves an RTM_GET, RTM_LOCK,
or RTM_CHANGE request, it applies the netmask (if supplied) to a
destination before searching for it in the forwarding table.
I have changed sys/netinet/ip_carp.c, carp_setroute(), to remove
the unlawful radix_node knowledge.
Apart from the changes to carp(4), netiso, ATM, and strip(4), I
have run the changes on three nodes in my wireless routing testbed,
which involves IPv4 + IPv6 dynamic routing acrobatics, and it's
working beautifully so far.
