copyin() or copyout().
uvm_useracc() tells us whether the mapping permissions allow access to
the desired part of an address space, and many callers assume that
this is the same as knowing whether an attempt to access that part of
the address space will succeed. however, access to user space can
fail for reasons other than insufficient permission, most notably that
paging in any non-resident data can fail due to i/o errors. most of
the callers of uvm_useracc() make the above incorrect assumption. the
rest are all misguided optimizations, which optimize for the case
where an operation will fail. we'd rather optimize for operations
succeeding, in which case we should just attempt the access and handle
failures due to insufficient permissions the same way we handle i/o
errors. since there appear to be no good uses of uvm_useracc(), we'll
just remove it.
<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.
As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.
<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).
amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.
* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).
* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.
* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.
* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.
* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.
installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)
mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.
Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).
which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.
Follows recent discussion on tech-kern@
its platform code is R530A. As such, the external video patches for
the R530 work for the '780. This gives a 640x480 video out (but only
the middle 240 pixels are used, to match the lcd resolution) on the
console and in X11.
HAVE_GCC3. if this is set, we also set USE_TOOLS_TOOLCHAIN=no. change
the definition of the former to be restricted to whether tools/toolchain
is used or not.
program/tool from "FOO" to "TOOL_FOO". The new variables are:
TOOL_ASN1_COMPILE TOOL_CAP_MKDB TOOL_CAT TOOL_CKSUM TOOL_COMPILE_ET
TOOL_CONFIG TOOL_CRUNCHGEN TOOL_CTAGS TOOL_DB TOOL_EQN TOOL_FGEN
TOOL_GENCAT TOOL_GROFF TOOL_HEXDUMP TOOL_INDXBIB TOOL_INSTALLBOOT

TOOL_ROFF_RAW TOOL_RPCGEN TOOL_SOELIM TOOL_SUNLABEL TOOL_TBL
TOOL_UUDECODE TOOL_VGRIND TOOL_ZIC
For each, provide default in <bsd.sys.mk> of the form:
TOOL_FOO?= foo
and for the ${USETOOLS}=="yes" case in <bsd.own.mk>, provide override:
TOOL_FOO= ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}foo
Document all of these in bsd.README.
This cleans up a chunk of potential (and actual) namespace collision
within our build infrastructure, as well as improves consistency in
the share/mk documentation and provision of appropriate defaults for
each of these variables.
