successfully run linux netscape 2.0b3 with a QMAGIC ld.so and libc/libm
that I found on some linux machine that I _think_ is running slackware 3.0.
There are still problems.. ld.so claims the libraries are the wrong
format, but it still runs anyway.. :-/ The QMAGIC ld.so also screams
about needing ld.so.cache, and running a linux ldconfig is quite
educational. You soon learn to run "chroot /compat/linux /bin/ldconfig"
where ldconfig is living in /compat/linux/bin. :-]
(Lets just say that it puts loads of symlinks in /usr/lib otherwise :-)
XDR routines auto-generated by rpcgen don't quite match the format of
the original ones even though tey have the same names (that was one of
the things wrong with the old XDR routines).
(TTMAXHIWAT + OBUFSIZ + 100) in case someone changes OBUFSIZ. 200
was to allow 100 above high water for ordinary writes and another
100 for kernel printfs.
Increased the reserved output queue count from 512 to the maximum
output queue count. This prevents exhaustion of clists and increases
the output throughput for 8 cy lines by almost a factor of 2 (on
a system where there aren't many other open ttys so clists become
exhausted after about 4 active lines (or earlier if TTMAXHIWAT is
increased :-]).
ttwrite() behaves very badly when clists are exhausted:
(1) it sleeps on lbolt instead of on TSA_OLOWAT(tp).
This could be fixed adequately by sleeping on TSA_OLOWAT(tp).
The nonzero reserved count guaratees that space will become
available independent of other ttys, and a reserved count
of 512 is barely enough for efficiency.
(2) it drops output if space runs out in the middle of special
output processing. This is too hard to fix without hardening
the reserved count. The watermark processing guarantees that
space doesn't run out only if the advertised space is guaranteed.
Increasing the reserved output queue count defeats the point of
dynamic allocation of clists. Previously, about 2K of memory per
tty was reserved (the raw queue was already reserved). Now, about
3.5K is reserved. Reserving everything would take a whole 0.5K
more.
ttyflush() might be called from an interrupt handler. This fixes
panics in IXOFF mode at the cost of more failures to send the START
character to exit from IXOFF mode.
getmajorbyname() which were a better (sigh) temporary interface to
the going-away devswitches.
Note that SYSINIT()s to initialize the devswitches would be fatal
in syscons.c and pcvt_drv.c (and are bogus elsewhere) because they
get called independently of whether the device is attached; thus
devices that share a major clobber each other's devswitch entries
until the last one wins.
conf.c:
Removed stale #includes and comments.
LINT: add a couple of new/missing/undocumented options
files.i386: add linux code so that you can compile a kernel with static
linux emulation ("options LINUX")
i386/*: use #if defined(COMPAT_LINUX) || defined(LINUX) to enable static
support of linux emulation (just like "IBCS2" makes ibcs2 static)
The main thing this is going to make obvious, is that the LINUX code
(when compiled from LINT) has a lot of warnings, some of which dont look
too pleasant..
is possible to boot a kernel with an empty in-core MFS image, and have
it load the image from floppy directly. This is admittedly a hack and
would be better replaced by a self-loading ram-disk.
all the other bt_XXX() functions in i386/scsi/bt*.
This the important effect of forcing a link error if the user is
still using the old "vector btintr" which is dangerously wrong
after Justin's updates to the driver.
The correct isa vector line for the bt driver is "vector bt_isa_intr".
Justin mentioned this in the commit message and updated LINT and
GENERIC. This change is to enforce that.. :-)
rpcgen-erated on the fly (just like librpcsvc).
Makefile: Add rule for generating yp_xdr.c and yp.h.
xdryp.c: gut everything except the special ypresp_all XDR function
needed to to handle yp_all() (this one can't be created on
the fly), and xdr_datum(), which isn't used internally by
libc, but which as documented as being there in yp_prot.h,
so what the hell. We now get everything else from yp_xdr.c.
yplib.c: change a few structure member names to match those found in
yp.h instead of those declared in yp_prot.h.
