Fix for potential hang when trying to reboot the system or
to forcibly unmount a soft update enabled filesystem.
FreeBSD already handled the reboot case differently, this is however a better
fix.
work in progress and has never booted a real machine. Initial
development and testing was done using SimOS (see
http://simos.stanford.edu for details). On the SimOS simulator, this
port successfully reaches single-user mode and has been tested with
loads as high as one copy of /bin/ls :-).
Obtained from: partly from NetBSD/alpha
machine-independent code and try mounting the devices in the
lists instead of guessing alternative root devices in a machine-
dependent way.
autoconf.c:
Reject preposterous slice numbers instead of silently converting
them to COMPATIBILITY_SLICE.
Don't forget to force slice = COMPATIBILITY_SLICE in the floppy
device name.
Eliminated most magic numbers and magic device names in setroot().
Fixed dozens of style bugs.
vfs_conf.c:
Put the actual root device name instead of "root_device" in the
mount struct if the actual name is available. This is useful after
booting with -s. If it were set in all cases then it could be used
to do mount(8)'s ROOTSLICE_HUNT and fsck(8)'s hotroot guess better.
In particular, don't generate an include of "opt_compat.h" if it
wouldn't affect anything we create. This will fix recent breakage
of the ibcs2 LKM. The ibcs2 syscall files were not regenerated
properly, so the LKM didn't break immediately when we started
generating this extraneous include.
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
The slices "struct" isn't really a struct; we allocate only part of
it in the fully dangerously dedicated case. Since the "struct" is
malloced, the page beyond it may not be mapped, so attempts to copy
it would crash. This problem became larger when the full struct was
bloated from < 1K to > 3K by the addition of (mostly unused) DEVFS
tokens some time before 2.2.0 was released.
the alloc is not M_DONTWAIT, then panic with "Out of mbuf clusters".
Callers that specify M_WAIT can't deal with getting a NULL buffer, so this
is a more graceful failure than randomly page faulting in the socket code
or elsewhere.
Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.
Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.
Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.
Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()
This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.
WARNING: Programs which muck about with struct proc in userland
will have to be fixed.
Reviewed, but found imperfect by: bde
unexpectedly do not complete writes even with sync I/O requests.
This should help the behavior of mmaped files when using
softupdates (and perhaps in other circumstances also.)
end up being the same, but it doesn't look like you're comparing
apples and oranges.
2. Use need_resched instead of reset_priority. This isn't right
either, since for example you'll round-robin against equal priority FIFO
processes when lowering the priority of another process,
but this works better and a real fix needs to be in kern_synch and
not out here.
3. This is not a device driver: copyin/copyout the structure.
update of cpu usage as shown by top when one process is cpu bound
(no system calls) while the system is otherwise idle (except for top).
Don't attempt to switch to the BSP in boot(). If the system was idle when
an interrupt caused a panic, this won't work. Instead, switch to the BSP
in cpu_reset.
Remove some spurious forward_statclock/forward_hardclock warnings.
Define a parameter which indicates the maximum number of sockets in a
system, and use this to size the zone allocators used for sockets and
for certain PCBs.
Convert PF_LOCAL PCB structures to be type-stable and add a version number.
Define an external format for infomation about socket structures and use
it in several places.
Define a mechanism to get all PF_LOCAL and PF_INET PCB lists through
sysctl(3) without blocking network interrupts for an unreasonable
length of time. This probably still has some bugs and/or race
conditions, but it seems to work well enough on my machines.
It is now possible for `netstat' to get almost all of its information
via the sysctl(3) interface rather than reading kmem (changes to follow).
signanosleep() did not deal with signal masks properly. This change was
based on a discussion with bde some time ago (at least 6 months or more).
signanosleep() should probably go away since it was never really used for
more than a few weeks and doesn't appear in released code. It should
probably be killed before somebody uses it and it becomes a gratuitous
nonstandard feature.
possibly non-open devices, and we don't want to restrict dumping
to swap devices anwyay. It is especially invalid to call d_ioctl()
in non-process context for panics. d_psize() can be called on
non-open devices, at least on non-SLICED ones that support d_dump(),
and setdumpdev() has depended on this for a long time although it
is probably wrong, but even d_psize() can't be called in non-process
context - that's why dumpsys() depends on previously computed values
although these values may be stale. The historical restriction to
devices with dkpart(dev) == SWAP_PART should go away.
the only common usage of utrace (the possible problem with this
commit) is with malloc, so this should be a real problem. Add
the various NetBSD syscalls that allow full emulation of their
development environment.
---------
Make callers of namei() responsible for releasing references or locks
instead of having the underlying filesystems do it. This eliminates
redundancy in all terminal filesystems and makes it possible for stacked
transport layers such as umapfs or nullfs to operate correctly.
Quality testing was done with testvn, and lat_fs from the lmbench suite.

vop_mknod and vop_symlink still release the returned vpp. vop_rename
still releases 4 vnode arguments before it returns. These remaining cases
will be corrected in the next set of patches.

Reverse the VFS_VRELE patch. Reference counting of vnodes does not need
to be done per-fs. I noticed this while fixing vfs layering violations.
Doing reference counting in generic code is also the preference cited by
John Heidemann in recent discussions with him.
The implementation of alternative vnode management per-fs is still a valid
requirement for some filesystems but will be revisited sometime later,
most likely using a different framework.
