introduce fileassoc(9), a kernel interface for associating meta-data with
files using in-kernel memory. this is very similar to what we had in
veriexec till now, only abstracted so it can be used more easily by more
consumers.
this also prompted the redesign of the interface, making it work on vnodes
and mounts and not directly on devices and inodes. internally, we still
use file-id but that's gonna change soon... the interface will remain
consistent.
as a result, veriexec went under some heavy changes to conform to the new
interface. since we no longer use device numbers to identify file-systems,
the veriexec sysctl stuff changed too: kern.veriexec.count.dev_N is now
kern.veriexec.tableN.* where 'N' is NOT the device number but rather a
way to distinguish several mounts.
also worth noting is the plugging of unmount/delete operations
wrt/fileassoc and veriexec.
tons of input from yamt@, wrstuden@, martin@, and christos@.
if the kernel does not set the interface up after we set an address,
do it explicitly, unless we (previously) set it down on user request.
This will allow the network drivers to be "fixed" while keeping visible
behaviour the same. Part of fixing PR 30694.
- note that ifconfig(8) create subcommand is required before slattach(8)
- network addresses aren't defined by slattach(8) but ifconfig(8)
- Add a BUGS section in slattach(8) to note that currently there is no way to
specify/see an interface name to be attached
- move description about link[0-2] flags from slattach(8) to sl(4)
(rather than adding a new description...)
- move description about SLIP limitations to a new BUGS section in sl(4)
- remove inappropriate MLINKS of slip.8 to slattach.8
- create MLINKS of slip.4 to sl.4 instead
- add some more xrefs
Ok'ed by christos, and closes PR kern/33672 and PR bin/33923.
particular, the caller can now choose whether to wait for the condition
to be met, and if the caller of LFCNWRAPSTOP dies or otherwise closes
the descriptor, the filesystem is started again. Updated the ckckp
regression test to use the new semantics.
dump_lfs(8) now uses the fcntls to implement LFS-style snapshotting through
the -X flag, addressing PR#33457 albeit not using fss(4). Fixed a couple
other problems with dump_lfs that manifested themselves during testing.
NetBSD Foundation Membership still pending.) This stack was written by
Iain under sponsorship from Itronix Inc.
The stack includes support for rfcomm networking (networking via your
bluetooth enabled cell phone), hid devices (keyboards/mice), and headsets.
Drivers for both PCMCIA and USB bluetooth controllers are included.
ifconfig(8) from printing errors like "ifconfig: socket: Address
family not supported by protocol family" when examining the status
of a network interface.
because it tries to set the tty not to print kerninfo. Change it
to only only play with the tty when ping is running in the foreground
(and will not stop when calling tcsetattr()). In my opinion, it is
preferable to print the kerninfo line with the ping info message
rather than to mess with the tty, but that's just me.
for non-related samples. There are several websites that explain why we
should use this form instead of the normal formula to compute the std. dev.
(Wikipedia is one of them).
Also, ping(8) (where this "new" formula came from) already does it this way
so, I'm trying to score some extra points by making both utilities behave
the same way.
Thanks to wrtstuden@ for the initial clarification.
