I don't think the code was ever more that a thought-project!
Certainly it shouldn't be using the netbsd system call table!
Probably all of compat/pecoff wants nuking.
avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
and tweak lkminit_*.c (where applicable) to call them, and to call
sysctl_teardown() when being unloaded.
This consists of (1) making setup functions not be static when being
compiled as lkms (change to sys/sysctl.h), (2) making prototypes
visible for the various setup functions in header files (changes to
various header files), and (3) making simple "load" and "unload"
functions in the actual lkminit stuff.
linux_sysctl.c also needs its root exposed (ie, made not static) for
this (when built as an lkm).
* DPSRCS contains extra dependencies, but is _NOT_ added to CLEANFILES.
This is a change of behaviour. If a Makefile wants the clean semantics
it must specifically append to CLEANFILES.
Resolves PR toolchain/5204.
* To recap: .d (depend) files are generated for all files in SRCS and DPSRCS
that have a suffix of: .c .m .s .S .C .cc .cpp .cxx
* If YHEADER is set, automatically add the .y->.h to DPSRCS & CLEANFILES
* Ensure that ${OBJS} ${POBJS} ${LOBJS} ${SOBJS} *.d depend upon ${DPSRCS}
* Deprecate the (short lived) DEPENDSRCS
Update the various Makefiles to these new semantics; generally either
adding to CLEANFILES (because DPSRCS doesn't do that anymore), or replacing
specific .o dependencies with DPSRCS entries.
Tested with "make -j 8 distribution" and "make distribution".
