we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
2. unfortunately hppa's MB_LEN_MAX is defined incorrectly 6 instead of 32
so we have to add more setlocale(3) __RENAME func, __setlocale50.
3. move setlocale1.c and setlocale32.c to lib/libc/compat/locale/*
prepareing for next libc major crunk.
4. bump libc minor version.
in libm source code. The libm functions depend on other libm functions,
this requires symbol renaming, and with the reachover method this
is going to be a mess. Also, bundling the dependencies into one .o
file has the potential to cause symbol conflicts on static linking.
-since getdevmajor(3) is now binary compatible again with <=5.0
there is no need to rename, I've just left a __getdevmajor50 symbol
temporarily for those who track -current
-update manpage
devmajor_t/devminor_t, as proposed on tech-kern.
This avoids 64-bit arithmetics and 64-bit printf formats in parts
of the kernel where it is not really useful, and helps clarity.
a block has been unlinked, seekdir() may overshoot by one entry.
Thus, _readdir_unlinked() must not skip deleted entries when being
called from seekdir().
Christos agreed.
large enough for GOT to be larger than 8k.
While here kill redundant PIC ifdefs in setjmp.S - sparc "call"
instruction is piccy by itself.
Tested by martin@
syscalls. (strictly speaking, it breaks abi. i don't think it's a problem
because this feature is short-lived and there are no affected in-tree
filesystems.)
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
(Drop the modf assembler version. We have the same code in libm.)
(Drop the ldexp inline-assembler version. The same code is in libm as
scalbn; the ldexp there is just a wrapper providing error handling.)
