environment variables to override the sector number, and the
bytes-offset in the sector, where disklabel(8) writes a disklabel.
If disklabel(8) was compiled as a host tool, then the defaults
still come from the port's LABELOFFSET and LABELSECTOR #defines.
Otherwise, the defaults still come from the sysctls, kern.labelsector
and kern.labeloffset.
This change helps me create a bootable CompactFlash image with both
a Master Boot Record (MBR) and a BSD disklabel for the RouterBOARD
153. The RB 153 is an evbmips board with a CompactFlash slot. It
searches the MBR on a CompactFlash card for a partition containing
an ELF kernel. When disklabel(8) is built for evbmips, it will
ordinarily overwrite an MBR with the BSD disklabel.
to modify the whole VLAN tags, but it is permitted to change 12-bit
VLAN identificators only. Reflect this fact on the appropriate man
pages.
Antti Kantee and Mihai Chelaru from #netbsd-code were helpful in
better understanding of VLAN stuff. Thank you!
FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
Bug fixes:
- Fix crash reported by Scott Ellis on current-users@.
- Fix race conditions in enforcing the Veriexec rename and remove
policies. These are NOT security issues.
- Fix memory leak in rename handling when overwriting a monitored
file.
- Fix table deletion logic.
- Don't prevent query requests if not in learning mode.
KPI updates:
- fileassoc_table_run() now takes a cookie to pass to the callback.
- veriexec_table_add() was removed, it is now done internally. As a
result, there's no longer a need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE.
- veriexec_report() was removed, it is now internal.
- Perform sanity checks on the entry type, and enforce default type
in veriexec_file_add() rather than in veriexecctl.
- Add veriexec_flush(), used to delete all Veriexec tables, and
veriexec_dump(), used to fill an array with all Veriexec entries.
New features:
- Add a '-k' flag to veriexecctl, to keep the filenames in the kernel
database. This allows Veriexec to produce slightly more accurate
logs under certain circumstances. In the future, this can be either
replaced by vnode->pathname translation, or combined with it.
- Add a VERIEXEC_DUMP ioctl, to dump the entire Veriexec database.
This can be used to recover a database if the file was lost.
Example usage:
# veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures
Note that only entries with the filename kept (that is, were loaded
with the '-k' flag) will be dumped.
Idea from Brett Lymn.
- Add a VERIEXEC_FLUSH ioctl, to delete all Veriexec entries. Sample
usage:
# veriexecctl flush
- Add a 'veriexec_flags' rc(8) variable, and make its default have
the '-k' flag. On systems using the default signatures file
(generaetd from running 'veriexecgen' with no arguments), this will
use additional 32kb of kernel memory on average.
- Add a '-e' flag to veriexecctl, to evaluate the fingerprint during
load. This is done automatically for files marked as 'untrusted'.
Misc. stuff:
- The code for veriexecctl was massively simplified as a result of
eliminating the need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE, and now uses a single
pass of the signatures file, making the loading somewhat faster.
- Lots of minor fixes found using the (still under development)
Veriexec regression testsuite.
- Some of the messages Veriexec prints were improved.
- Various documentation fixes.
All relevant man-pages were updated to reflect the above changes.
Binary compatibility with existing veriexecctl binaries is maintained.
device controllers, and more specifically raid controllers.
Add a new sensor type, ENVSYS_DRIVE, to report drive status. From OpenBSD.
Add bio and sysmon support to mfi(4). This allow userland to query
status for drives and logical volumes attached to a mfi(4) controller. While
there fix some debug printfs in mfi so they compile.
Add bio(4) to amd64 and i386 GENERIC.
- NetBSD's "newfs" doesn't accept a second (non-option) argument.
Patch provided by Jeff Ito in PR bin/36241.
- Use "sd0" instead of "rp0" because NetBSD's doesnt have a disk driver
called "rp".
- Use "/dev/rst0" instead of "/dev/rst8". With NetBSD's device numbering
scheme a system would have to have 9 tape drives to get "/dev/rst8".
print out the values of the bytes that do not match.
Add comment explaining that there is no documented rationale for the
check.
fsck_msdos checks that several bytes are equal in the primary and
backup bootblock. There is no documented rationale. The kernel does
not enforce this when mounting a filesystem. I have a FAT32
filesystem on my disk (mounted as /share) which fails this check, but
is accepted by both Windows XP and NetBSD. My volume differs in bytes
71-81. The primary contains "SHARE " and the backup NUL bytes.
Further, fsck_msdos does not have code to repair the mismatch. As a
result such filesystems can be used not checked.
- pass WARNS=4 and lint
- use size_t/time_t where appropriate
- get/setprogname()
- before executing rc.shutdown, set the real user id to 0, because shutdown
scripts may depend on it (for example su depends on being root).
- use warn instead of perror, and make sure we use the right errno.
Also pass "-ppax" in an attempt to get improved performance,
but this doesn't really work in the typical case, because the
install ramdisk image contains a version of pax(1) that doesn't
support the -M flag. (MAKEDEV detects the failure and falls back
to using mknod(8) as usual.)
always print an error message. If bootable and -v flag was
specified, print a success message. If -v flag was specified
more than once, also try to decode more information from
the PBR.
