This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
a binary link-kit. Make all non-optional options (pagers, procfs) standard,
and update LINT to reflect new symtab requirements.
NB: -Wtraditional will henceforth be forgotten. This editing pass was
primarily intended to detect any constructions where the old code might
have been relying on traditional C semantics or syntax. These were all
fixed, and the result of fixing some of them means that -Wall is now a
realistic possibility within a few weeks.
The following patch adds the addr argument to signal handlers.
The kernel with the patch is no more and no less in compliance or in
violation of POSIX and ANSI C than the kernel before the patch.
The added functionality this addr argument provides is quite useful. It
enables an entire class of algorithms which use mprotect to trace memory
references. Beside garbage collectors, I have heard of this technique being
applied to debuggers and profilers. The only benchmarking I've performed is
using akcl to compile maxima: without the kernel patch, it takes 7 hours to
compile maxima, while with stratified garbage collection, it only takes 50
minutes.
Basically, I can't think of a reason not to add the addr argument and there
is a compelling need for it.
If you find the patch acceptable, please let me know so I can send my
FreeBSD akcl config files to wfs for inclusion in the core akcl release.
The old 386BSD config files there won't work on either NetBSD or FreeBSD.
Remove patch kit headers, and add $Id$
This is mostly to align some more code with NetBSD.
cpu.h:
Remove the old function vs. include configuration stuff that was
ifdefed out when we went to inline functions.
Remove the define of resettodr that made it a nop, there is
already a function that makes it a nop, no need to #define one.
Remove the #defines of processor types, they are now defined
in cputypes.h, #include that file.
Add struct cpu_nameclass for support of cpu types.
frame.h:
include sys/signal.h, it will be needed in the future.
put the sigframe structure here that was in machdep.c
pcb.h:
Add multiple inclusion protection.
Add pcb_ldt and pcb_ldt_len to pcb structure, this is for the
user mode ldt.
