all keymaps except the US english one can be removed from the kernel
with this option, which results in a space gain of about 10kB.
XXX it would be nice if we could strip down more kernel facilities
kernel message buffer/log. Its off by default and can be switched on in the
kernel configuration on build time, be set as a variable in ddb and be set
using sysctl.
This adds the sysctl value
ddb.tee_msgbuf = 0
by default.
The functionality is especially added and aimed for developers who are not
blessed with a serial console and wish to keep all their ddb output in the
log. Specifying /l as a modifier to some selected commands will also put
the output in the log but not all commands provide one nor has the same
meaning for all commands.
This feature could in the future also be implemented as an ddb command but
that could lead to more bloat allthough maybe easier for non developpers to
use when mailing their backtraces from kernel crashes.
o Quickly mention the existence of revisions 1, 1.5 and 3.
o Document the forced revision flags.
o Note support for revision 1 and 1.5.
o Document the 28bit pointer limitation in revisions 1 and 1.5.
setborder accessops. Document the new replaceattr emulop.
While here, add a paragraph explaining the purpose of each emulop (just as
done in accessops). I believe I got them right, but a review could be good.
at the moment.
This includes the addition of two new wsdisplay ioctls, WSDISPLAY_{G,S}BORDER,
one to get the actual color and one to set it, respectively. Possible colors
match those defined by ANSI (and listed in wsdisplayvar.h).
It also adds two accessops to the underlying graphics device, getborder and
setborder, which mach their ioctl counterparts.
Two kernel options are added: WSDISPLAY_CUSTOM_BORDER, which enables the
ioctls described above (to customize the border color from userland after
boot), and WSDISPLAY_BORDER_COLOR, which sets the color at boot time.
The former is enabled by default on the GENERIC kernel, but not on INSTALL
(among others). The later is always commented out, leaving the usual black
border as a default.
wsconsctl is modified to allow accessing this value easily. For example,
'wsconsctl -d -w border=blue'.
Two new ioctls are added to the wsdisplay device, named WSDISPLAY_GMSGATTRS
and WSDISPLAY_SMSGATTRS, used to retrieve the actual values and set them,
respectively (the name, if you are wondering, comes from "message attributes").
A new emulop is added to the underlying display driver (only vga, for now)
which sets the new attribute for the whole screen, without having to clear
it. This is optional, which means that this also works with other drivers
that don't have this new operation.
Five new kernel options have been added, although only documented in
i386 kernels (for now):
- WSDISPLAY_CUSTOM_OUTPUT, which enables the ioctls described above to
change the colors dynamically from userland. This is enabled by default
in the GENERIC kernel (as well as others) but disabled on all INSTALL*
kernels (as this feature is useless there).
- WS_DEFAULT_COLATTR, WS_DEFAULT_MONOATTR, WS_DEFAULT_BG and WS_DEFAULT_FG,
which specify the default colors for the console at boot time. These have
the same meaning as the (already existing) WS_KERNEL_* variables.
wsconsctl is modified to add msg.default.{attrs,bg,fg} and
msg.kernel.{attrs,bg,fg} to the display part, so that colors can be changed
after boot.
Tested on NetBSD/i386 with vga (and vga in mono mode), and on NetBSD/mac68k.
No objections in tech-kern@.
(1) The stock sendmail.cf will only listen on the loopback interface.
(2) The stock submit.cf specifally connects to "localhost." which
should be less susceptible to being confused or looking confused.
(3) The smtp listener starts by default, if needed. The setting in
/etc/default/rc.conf is still "no", but rc.d/sendmail detects the
default setting and will change it to yes if need is determined.
Need is defined as "nothing else seems to have been changed about the
mail configuration but we'd like locally originated and locally
destined mail to be delivered". If you change, eg, mailer.conf to
point to postfix or some other MTA, sendmail will not start.
The algorithm used is essentially PBKDF1 from RFC 2898 but using
hmac_sha1 rather than SHA1 directly (suggested by smb@research.att.com).
* The format of the encrypted password is:
* $<tag>$<iterations>$<salt>$<digest>
*
* where:
* <tag> is "sha1"
* <iterations> is an unsigned int identifying how many rounds
* have been applied to <digest>. The number
* should vary slightly for each password to make
* it harder to generate a dictionary of
* pre-computed hashes. See crypt_sha1_iterations.
* <salt> up to 64 bytes of random data, 8 bytes is
* currently considered more than enough.
* <digest> the hashed password.
hmac.c implementes HMAC as defined in RFC 2104 and includes a unit
test for both hmac_sha1 and hmac_sha1 using a selection of the Known
Answer Tests from RFC 2202.
It is worth noting that to be FIPS compliant the hmac key (password)
should be 10-20 chars.
doing copy-on-write.
- Change VFS_SNAPSHOT() to return the snapshot vnode locked.
- Make the IO path for copy-on-write and snapshot-read more lightweight.
Avoids deadlocks where vn_rdwr(...READ...) has a shared lock and needs
to copy-on-write.
Avoids deadlocks/panics where to clean pages the copy-on-write needs
to allocate pages for its VOP_PUTPAGES().

as LK_SHARED, the VOP_ code (in all our existing file systems)
was implememted assuming exclusive locking. Use of LK_SHARED
is technically a bug and only works right for uni-processor and
big-lock SMP systems. Our current file systems will blow up
(probably quite subtlely) with LK_SHARED and fine-grained SMP
locking.
- Not enabled by default. Needs kernel option FFS_SNAPSHOT.
- Change parameters of ffs_blkfree.
- Let the copy-on-write functions return an error so spec_strategy
may fail if the copy-on-write fails.
- Change genfs_*lock*() to use vp->v_vnlock instead of &vp->v_lock.
- Add flag B_METAONLY to VOP_BALLOC to return indirect block buffer.
- Add a function ffs_checkfreefile needed for snapshot creation.
- Add special handling of snapshot files:
Snapshots may not be opened for writing and the attributes are read-only.
Use the mtime as the time this snapshot was taken.
Deny mtime updates for snapshot files.
- Add function transferlockers to transfer any waiting processes from
one lock to another.
- Add vfsop VFS_SNAPSHOT to take a snapshot and make it accessible through
a vnode.
- Add snapshot support to ls, fsck_ffs and dump.
