and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.
Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).
The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.
the base personality type in the low byte and
various flags in the upper bytes. for now just mask off
the flags to make sure the base type is one we accept.
store the current personality in the emuldata so that
we can return the expected value for PER_QUERY.

note that iopl(), ioperm() and modify_ldt() just call
the respective 64-bit handlers, which don't do anything yet.
included in the "type" parameter. in linux_sys_sendmsg(),
if we see an SCM_CREDENTIALS control message, just drop it
instead of giving an error. the linux and native versions of
the cred-passing operation are very different and some apps
(eg. linux pulseaudio library talking to a native server)
will work without the control data.
static executables (such as newer versions of /sbin/ldconfig)
require this to work properly. since static executables
also don't have a PT_PHDR entry, use the same heuristic as
linux does to provide a value for AT_PHDR in this case.
- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
Rename real routines to proc_find() and pgrp_find(), remove PFIND_* flags
and have consistent behaviour. Provide proc_find_raw() for special cases.
Fix memory leak in sysctl_proc_corename().
COMPAT_LINUX: rework ptrace() locking, minimise differences between
different versions per-arch.
Note: while this change adds some formal cosmetics for COMPAT_DARWIN and
COMPAT_IRIX - locking there is utterly broken (for ages).
Fixes PR/43176.
in a row, and we need to try to read the next block, and have passed a
non-NULL cookie pointer to VOP_READDIR, ensure that we free the cookie
buffer before re-doing VOP_READDIR, so that we don't leak memory.
This fix is similar to nfs_serv.c revisions 1.115 + 1.124.
This should fix the long-standing problem observed by e.g. using Linux-
emulated programs to take backup of servers, which is one of the problems
which were reported in PR#42661.
Thanks to pooka@ for the hints for traversing the VOP* layer.
- 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>.
