agressive. With the old code, if a descriptor chain was already on its
way to the chip, xl_start() would try to splice new chains onto the end
of the current chain by stopping the transmitter, modifying the tail
pointer of the current chain to point to the head of the new chain, then
restart the transmitter. The manual says you're allowed to do this and
it works, but I'm not too keen on it anymore.
The new code waits until the eixsting chain has been sent and then
queues the next waiting chain in the 'transmit ok' handler.
Performance still looks good one way or the other.
RealTek 8129/8139 chipset like I've been threatening. Update kernel
configs, userconfig.c, relnotes and sysinstall. No man page yet;
comming soon.
I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.
- Use the system headers method for Elf32/Elf64 symbol compatability
- get rid of the UPRINTF debugging.
- check the ELF header for compatability much more completely
- optimize the section mapper. Use the same direct VM interfaces that
imgact_aout.c and kern_exec.c use.
- Check the return codes from the vm_* functions better. Some return
KERN_* results, not an errno.
- prefault the page tables to reduce startup faults on page tables like
a.out does.
- reset the segment protection to zero for each loop, otherwise each
segment could get progressively more privs. (eg: if the first was
read/write/execute, and the second was meant to be read/execute, the
bug would make the second r/w/x too. In practice this was not a
problem because executables are normally laid out with text first.)
- Don't impose arbitary limits. Use the limits on headers imposed by
the need to fit them into one page.
- Remove unused switch() cases now that the verbose debugging is gone.
I've been using an earlier version of this for a month or so.
This sped up ELF exec speed a bit for me but I found it hard to get
consistant benchmarks when I tested it last (a few weeks ago).
I'm still bothered by the page read out of order caused by the
transition from data to bss. This which requires either part filling the
transition page or clearing the remainder.
Move the initialization before isa_configure() and npx, in case npx does
something to initialize the state of the emulator somehow.
I do not have any machines without a FPU so that I can test this with -
except an old 386sx motherboard in a box somewhere that might work...
Supply the moduledata handle rather than the event dispatcher function.
This should explain the panic on boot problem that's been discussed in
-current at the moment. Both machines had GNU_MATH_EMULATE.
the boot.config settings are persistent, this seems to provide a
useful override capability, and should break only on broken
boot.config's.
Output a cosmetic newline if booting with no input.
a raw partition at a nonzero offset (EINVAL should have been EXDEV;
DIOCSDINFO was broken, and DIOCWDINFO was broken because it depended
on DIOCSDINFO).
A zero offset for the raw partition should probably be enforced in
setdisklabel(), and DIOCWDINFO should probably always be handled by
first calling setdisklabel() so that writedisklabel() doesn't need to
enforce it, but this has never been done; dsioctl() has a special
check. Changes in this commit are limited to dsioctl() to preserve
bug for bug compatibility in drivers that don't use the slice code
(notably the ccd driver, which allows setting a bogus label in
DIOCWDINFO and doesn't undo the setting when writedisklabel() fails).
Read boot.help before parsing boot.config. We were parsing
boot.config first, which could result in boot.help being read
from a different location (or not found), which would probably
just cause surprise, without being useful.
partition that the label ioctl is being done on just because it has
offset 0, since there is no guarantee that such a partition is large
enough to contain the label. Don't use the wrong raw partition (0
instead of RAW_PART).
This fixes problems rewriting bizarre labels (with a nonzero offset
for the 'a' partition) in newfs(8). Such labels shouldn't normally
be used, but creating them was allowed if the ioctl was done on the
raw partition, and sysinstall creates them if the root partition isn't
allocated first.
Note that allowing write access to a partition other than the one that
has been checked for write access doesn't increase security holes
significantly, since write access to any partition already allows
changing the in-core label.
This fix should be in 3.0R. Rev.1.26 of newfs/newfs.c shouldn't be
in 3.0R.
This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets
were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.
can seek back to the first PT_LOAD and doing a close/reopen if it cannot.
This is because the first PT_LOAD section includes the ELF headers.
This fixes gzipped kernels on the i386, it should solve mike's problem
for the Alpha.
Correct a problem where an external bus reset on the 'background' channel of
a Twin Channel EISA controller could put the driver into an infinite loop.

currently operating in a tagged mode. The SIM driver should determine
if a device is in tag mode by looking at the CAM_TAG_ACTION_VALID flag
in the ccb header. If the flag is set, the tag_action field is either
a SCSI II tag message (simple, ordered, head) or CAM_TAG_ACTION_NONE
to specify that no tagging should be performed.
