This areas is called the comm pages. It is used to provide fast access to
several data and functions.
The comm pages are mapped starting at 0xffff800 (address chosed so that
absolute branch can be used, so it can be accessed even when dynamic linking
is not ready). NetBSD has the user stack here, so we need to provide a
Darwin-specific stack setup routine which sets the top of the stack at
0xbfff0000.
This implementation is not complete but it does enough to get MacOS X.3
starting again (static binaries run, dynamic binaries still have an issue).
in the comm pages functions, we only implement bcopy, pthread_self and
memcpy.
TODO:
- clean up the powerpc specific code from MD parts
- for now we map only one page to avoid a crash, we want two pages.
- write all the comm functions.
static binary: otool). Dynamic binaires have a pointer to the Mach-O
header on the top of the stack, static binaries don't have this, and
having it produced a crash.
One bugfix: the EXEC_MACHO code assumes that entry = NULL means that
the entry point has not been found in the load commands seen so far.
Therefore we need to initialized entry to NULL if we want a static binary
to discover it. (dynamic binaries were forced to iscover it because when
the intepreter load command is found, entry is updated whatever its
value was before).
One hack: Both COMPAT_MACH and COMPAT_DARWIN are willing to run Mach-O
binaries. COMPAT_MACH fails for dynamic binaries because it cannot find
the interpreter in /emul/mach. For static binaires, it will accept them
(and for Darwin static binaries, this will cause a failure). Until we
rite a test for matchinf Darwin static binaries, just swap the order of
COMPAT_MACH and COMPAT_DARWIN in the exec switch so that COMPAT_DARWIN
is tried first (this will have the advantage of speeding up program
startup). EXECSW_PRIO_{FIRST_LAST} does not seem to work...
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
this gives:
* linux sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) gives correct value for linux binaries (hz)
even if hz != 100
* glibc gets proper information on real/effective uid and enables
secure mode for suid binaries
g/c LINUX_COPYARGS_FUNCTION, replaced by linux ELF copyargs function
g/c alpha-specific linux ELF copyargs function and linux ELF defines
header to distinguish between o32, n32 and n64 ABIs. We now use this.
This suppress the need of the mips_option test, which had some fake positive.
This also removes the mandatory ordering of n32 vs o32 in the exec switch
(exec_conf.c)
format specific.
Struct emul has a e_setregs hook back, which points to emulation-specific
setregs function. es_setregs of struct execsw now only points to
optional executable-specific setup function (this is only used for
ECOFF).
used to make ELF binaries unmatched by any signature check to be run under
NetBSD 'emulation'. This causes problems like kern/12253.
The old behaviour is available with option EXEC_ELF_CATCHALL.
unions `union_elem: ...', and use c99 syntax `.union_elem = ...' only
where necessary.
in this case, there's no need to tag elf_probe_func because that's the
first union element, and therefore, the implicit case. only specifically
mention ecoff_probe_func where necessary.
if we decide to not use this c99 feature for now, at least there's now
less stuff to rip out.
* move all exec-type specific information from struct emul to execsw[] and
provide single struct emul per emulation
* elf:
- kern/exec_elf32.c:probe_funcs[] is gone, execsw[] how has one entry
per emulation and contains pointer to respective probe function
- interp is allocated via MALLOC() rather than on stack
- elf_args structure is allocated via MALLOC() rather than malloc()
* ecoff: the per-emulation hooks moved from alpha and mips specific code
to OSF1 and Ultrix compat code as appropriate, execsw[] has one entry per
emulation supporting ecoff with appropriate probe function
* the makecmds/probe functions don't set emulation, pointer to emulation is
part of appropriate execsw[] entry
* constify couple of structures
