Because the current implementation of IP over IEEE1394, the
|
|
fw device address contains more than just the IEEE1394 EUI-64.

So when printing out IEEE1394 addresses, ignore the extra stuff.

|
|
descr
|
|
In order to extend the termcap string over 1023 bytes, a ZZ entry was
|
|
introduced to point to a memory location containing the full entry.
|
|
Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ
|
|
entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
|
|
exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.

hack Compensation for differing types of LINUX_USRSTACK and USRSTACK

who he

|
descr
|
|
Not all ports have LINUX_USRSTACK and/or USRSTACK defined as
|
|
literals/constants, but refer to variables of a type which is
|
|
not "unsigned long", causing compilation of procfs_linux.c to
|
|
fail with "makes integer from pointer without a cast". This
|
|
is observed on e.g. the sun3 port. Ideally the "types" for
|
|
symbols should be consistent across all ports.

GCC issues a warning "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break

strict-aliasing rules" when compiling

|
crypto/dist/kame/racoon/crypto/openssl.c with -O[23s]. Note that this

is due to use of type casting in a non-standard way in the code and

not a compiler bug. Once a new release of KAME with a proper fix

|
applied is imported this should be backed out.

The first four PLT entries are reserved. There is some

disagreement whether they should have associated relocation

entries. Both the SPARC 32-bit and 64-bit ELF specifications

|
say that they should have relocation entries, but the 32-bit
|
|
SPARC binutils do not generate them, and now the 64-bit SPARC
|
|
binutils have stopped generating them too.
|
|
|
|
To provide binary compatibility, we will check the first entry,
|
|
if it is reserved it should not be of the type JMP_SLOT. If it
|
|
is JMP_SLOT, then the 4 reserved entries were not generated and
|
|
our index is 4 entries too far, so we frob the rela pointer.

The sparc compiler miscompiles uvm_bio.c when using
|
|
any optimization. This results in ubc_release panics.

The macppc gcc-3.3 compiler miscompiles rbt.c when these
|
|
functions are inlined. The error is:
|
|
.* named[368]: rbt.c:1584: INSIST(child != (void *)0) >failed
|
|
.* named[368]: exiting (due to assertion failure)
|
|
This is reportedly fixed in gcc-3.4

There is some bug with DMA on hppa that corrupts scsipi_xfer
|
|
structures, but it only shows up when booting from disk.
|
|
For now, we'll add some padding to scsipi_xfer so that
|
|
the corrupted memory is not otherwise used.

With COMPAT_16 or previous enabled (which enables
|
|
ELF_INTERP_NON_RELOCATABLE) a recent ld.elf_so will
|
|
load and run at address 0. The check to fix this in
|
|
rev 1.107 only checks the first psection of the ELF
|
|
executable, which may not be loadable. A more correct
|
|
fix is to check the first loadable psection instead of
|
|
just the first psection.
