pathbuf object passed to namei as work space instead. (For now a pnbuf
pointer appears in struct nameidata, to support certain unclean things
that haven't been fixed yet, but it will be going away in the future.)
This removes the need for the SAVENAME and HASBUF namei flags.
and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.
Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).
The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.
- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
Rename real routines to proc_find() and pgrp_find(), remove PFIND_* flags
and have consistent behaviour. Provide proc_find_raw() for special cases.
Fix memory leak in sysctl_proc_corename().
COMPAT_LINUX: rework ptrace() locking, minimise differences between
different versions per-arch.
Note: while this change adds some formal cosmetics for COMPAT_DARWIN and
COMPAT_IRIX - locking there is utterly broken (for ages).
Fixes PR/43176.
things: passing an argument to check_exec, which is better done explicitly,
and handing back the resolved pathname generated by namei, which we can
make an explicit slot for in struct exec_package instead. While here,
perform some related tidyup, and store the kernel-side copy of the path
to the executable as well as the pointer into userspace. (But the latter
should probably be removed in the future.)
in a row, and we need to try to read the next block, and have passed a
non-NULL cookie pointer to VOP_READDIR, ensure that we free the cookie
buffer before re-doing VOP_READDIR, so that we don't leak memory.
This fix is similar to nfs_serv.c revisions 1.115 + 1.124.
This should fix the long-standing problem observed by e.g. using Linux-
emulated programs to take backup of servers, which is one of the problems
which were reported in PR#42661.
Thanks to pooka@ for the hints for traversing the VOP* layer.
read/write/accept, then the expectation is that the blocked thread will
exit and the close complete.
Since only one fd is affected, but many fd can refer to the same file,
the close code can only request the fs code unblock with ERESTART.
Fixed for pipes and sockets, ERESTART will only be generated after such
a close - so there should be no change for other programs.
Also rename fo_abort() to fo_restart() (this used to be fo_drain()).
Fixes PR/26567
do drain' in many places, whereas fo_drain() was called in order to force
blocking read()/write() etc calls to return to userspace so that a close()
call from a different thread can complete.
In the sockets code comment out the broken code in the inner function,
it was being called from compat code.
- Avoid atomics in more places.
- Remove the per-descriptor mutex, and just use filedesc_t::fd_lock.
It was only being used to synchronize close, and in any case we needed
to take fd_lock to free the descriptor slot.
- Optimize certain paths for the <NDFDFILE case.
- Sprinkle more comments and assertions.
- Cache more stuff in filedesc_t.
- Fix numerous minor bugs spotted along the way.
- Restructure how the open files array is maintained, for clarity and so
that we can eliminate the membar_consumer() call in fd_getfile(). This is
mostly syntactic sugar; the main functional change is that fd_nfiles now
lives alongside the open file array.
Some measurements with libmicro:
- simple file syscalls are like close() are between 1 to 10% faster.
- some nice improvements, e.g. poll(1000) which is ~50% faster.
than one active reference to a file descriptor. It should dislodge threads
sleeping while holding a reference to the descriptor. Implemented only for
sockets but should be extended to pipes, fifos, etc.
Fixes the case of a multithreaded process doing something like the
following, which would have hung until the process got a signal.
thr0 accept(fd, ...)
thr1 close(fd)
address space available to processes. this limit exists in most other
modern unix variants, and like most of them, our defaults are unlimited.
remove the old mmap / rlimit.datasize hack.
- adds the VMCMD_STACK flag to all the stack-creation vmcmd callers.
it is currently unused, but was added a few years ago.
- add a pair of new process size values to kinfo_proc2{}. one is the
total size of the process memory map, and the other is the total size
adjusted for unused stack space (since most processes have a lot of
this...)
- patch sh, and csh to notice RLIMIT_AS. (in some cases, the alias
RLIMIT_VMEM was already present and used if availble.)
- patch ps, top and systat to notice the new k_vm_vsize member of
kinfo_proc2{}.
- update irix, svr4, svr4_32, linux and osf1 emulations to support
this information. (freebsd could be done, but that it's best left
as part of the full-update of compat/freebsd.)
this addresses PR 7897. it also gives correct memory usage values,
which have never been entirely correct (since mmap), and have been
very incorrect since jemalloc() was enabled.
tested on i386 and sparc64, build tested on several other platforms.
thanks to many folks for feedback and testing but most espcially
chuq and yamt for critical suggestions that lead to this patch not
having a special ugliness i wasn't happy with anyway :-)
to parse and generate the compat name and basename (e.g. __stat50
and stat). Use this to autogenerate __RENAME()'s to the rump_syscalls
header so that they can be called e.g. rump_sys_socket() instead
of rump_sys___socket30().
into modules. By and large this commit:
- shuffles header files and ifdefs
- splits code out where necessary to be modular
- adds module glue for each of the components
- adds/replaces hooks for things that can be installed at runtime
we no longer need to guard against access from hardware interrupt handlers.
Additionally, if cloning a process with CLONE_SIGHAND, arrange to have the
child process share the parent's lock so that signal state may be kept in
sync. Partially addresses PR kern/37437.
Attempt to fix all the code paths so that the 'fp' returned by fd_getfile()
isn't left locked, and is always unlocked (and ref-counted) before
doing anything that might sleep.

int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
