- Addresses the issue described in PR/38828.
- Some simplification in threading and sleepq subsystems.
- Eliminates pmap_collect() and, as a side note, allows pmap optimisations.
- Eliminates XS_CTL_DATA_ONSTACK in scsipi code.
- Avoids few scans on LWP list and thus potentially long holds of proc_lock.
- Cuts ~1.5k lines of code. Reduces amd64 kernel size by ~4k.
- Removes __SWAP_BROKEN cases.
Tested on x86, mips, acorn32 (thanks <mpumford>) and partly tested on
acorn26 (thanks to <bjh21>).
Discussed on <tech-kern>, reviewed by <ad>.
provided, kvm_open() and kvm_openfiles() will try _PATH_KSYMS first,
then either the path from sysctl machdep.booted_kernel (if that's
available) or _PATH_UNIX (if the sysctl is not available).
so that it is used both for the /dev/mem case and the core dump case.
Output from savecore(8) before:
savecore - - - (null): kvm_openfiles: /netbsd: No such file or directory
and after:
savecore - - - no core dump
address space available to processes. this limit exists in most other
modern unix variants, and like most of them, our defaults are unlimited.
remove the old mmap / rlimit.datasize hack.
- adds the VMCMD_STACK flag to all the stack-creation vmcmd callers.
it is currently unused, but was added a few years ago.
- add a pair of new process size values to kinfo_proc2{}. one is the
total size of the process memory map, and the other is the total size
adjusted for unused stack space (since most processes have a lot of
this...)
- patch sh, and csh to notice RLIMIT_AS. (in some cases, the alias
RLIMIT_VMEM was already present and used if availble.)
- patch ps, top and systat to notice the new k_vm_vsize member of
kinfo_proc2{}.
- update irix, svr4, svr4_32, linux and osf1 emulations to support
this information. (freebsd could be done, but that it's best left
as part of the full-update of compat/freebsd.)
this addresses PR 7897. it also gives correct memory usage values,
which have never been entirely correct (since mmap), and have been
very incorrect since jemalloc() was enabled.
tested on i386 and sparc64, build tested on several other platforms.
thanks to many folks for feedback and testing but most espcially
chuq and yamt for critical suggestions that lead to this patch not
having a special ugliness i wasn't happy with anyway :-)
indexing into the PTP), not the plN_i ones (for indexing into the entire
linear page table); cf. the analogous code for amd64. Fixes ~everything
to do with kernel core dumps on i386.
This function allows the caller finer control of how the writes happen
and doesn't force stdio as interface. Optimise clear_gap a bit to not
fill the gap byte-wise. Bump minor version of libkvm.
- if the process does not exist anymore, return NULL
- if the process has created more lwps retry
XXX[1]: We should fix sysctl_kern_lwp() to return the number of lwps it
needs in oldlenp when ENOMEM. The we can avoid calling sysctl
twice (by starting let's say with always 1 lwp, or 10).
XXX[2]: We should fix kvm_getlwps to never spit errors.
- Silence new lint warnings
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.
It was only ever non-zero for zombies, and now doesn't exist.
The 'pstats' field has been valid for zombies for a while (it isn't in
the uarea any more).
Fixes part of build breakage.
know about kauth
Implemented _kvm_convertcred() to handle copying kauth_cred_t to userspace
and converting it to the appropriate 'struct eproc' members ('pcred' and
'ucred' respectively).
Okay mlelstv@.
