given buffer, and if necessary, reducing the display width of the
number to fit in the buffer by increasing the units (from kilobytes
(2^10) through to exabytes (2^60)).
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the rest of the MI portion changes.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
- If RB_ASKNAME, prompt for the dump device, defaulting to
partition 'b' of the root device, if the root device is a disk.
- Else, if dumpspec is set to "none", do not configure a dump device.
- Else, if dumpspec is set by config(8), attempt to use that device.
- Else, dumpspec is wildcarded or unspecified; if the root device is
a disk, select partition b. (which was the previous default dump
partition)
Note, dumps to a local disk now work even if root is on nfs.
from the version used by NetBSD/alpha, with several changes by me.
Support for asking for root device and root file system type on any
kernel, obsoleting "options GENERIC".
- Make my mountroothook implementation used by the sparc and x68k
ports machine-independent, and use it here. Mountroothooks allow
devices to execute special functions before being mounted as the
root device (such as ejecting the floppy and prompting for a new
floppy disk).
- Make swapconf() machine-independent. It was identical on all ports.
(1) after removing a shutdown hook (in shutdownhook_disestablish()),
free it. We created it, we have to free it. Without this,
shutdownhook_disestablish() leaks memory.
(2) in doshutdownhooks(), before running each hook, remove it from the
shutdown hook list. This makes sure that every hook is tried once
(because doshutdownhooks() is called from before rebooting, and
a fault in a shutdown hook will cause doshutdownhooks() to be called
again), but prevents the hooks from potentially being run infinitely
(as used to be possible, in the above-mentioned situation).
