probably never be completely supported here (since its internal vs.
external symbol handling is so annoying), but at least we can recognize
the ECOFF binaries and print something useful, on machines that use
them.
needed. When sfbattach() initializes the fbinfo data, it was corrupting
data past the struct device data actually allocated. This does not appear
to have caused a problem in the past, but causes a problem with the new
setroot() changes by Jason.
a bunch of rules, define a clean{kmod,lib,prog} target with the rules,
and have both clean and cleandir depend on that. That eliminates a bug
where 'cleandir' in a directory which included e.g. bsd.prog.mk but which
also had subdirs would 'make clean' all the subdirs and then 'make cleandir'
all ofthe subdirs. It also allows Makefiles to add more dependencies
to 'clean' after inclusion of the make template.
If 'clean' is already defined, the behaviour is the same as it used to be.
best-fit, rather than first-fit, algorithm.
ability to handle free()s with zero size (needed for gzip read
support).
ability to start the heap someplace else (defined by HEAP_START).
ability to limit growth of the heap (via HEAP_LIMIT).
debugging sanity checks (ifdef DEBUG).
allocation tracing support, to help debugging (ifdef ALLOC_TRACE).
and from me:
ability to pick a (smaller) first-fit algorithm (via ALLOC_FIRST_FIT).
lots of comments.
If heap limits and all of the debugging features are disabled (the default),
and ALLOC_FIRST_FIT is defined (not the default), compiled with -O on the
alpha the new version is the same (object) size as the old version.
upper-level YP call. This allows the RPC code to retry the transaction,
which is helpful for busy networks.
Problem noted and suggested fix from Michael.Eriksson@era-t.ericsson.se,
and slightly modified by me to compute the RPC timeout one at compile-time,
rather than N times at run-time.
Fixes PR #3117.
- move the helper programs txlt and aout2bb to the topmost directory
- build the few files from libsa in the topmost directory
* while doing this, hunted down mysterious code expansion: It seems
that ld aligns code segments differently when linking .o's directly
than when using an archive consisting of the same files. Abuse this
effect to make the bootblock even smaller. The floppy boot block
"fdboot" is now small enough to build; add it back to the Makefile.
* while being here, remove a file which was committed by mistake.
