with malloc type at the tail of the list changed the list from
linear to circular. This seemed to cause surprisingly few problems,
but it now causes weird output from `vmstat -m', probably because
a more important malloc type is now at the tail of the list.
Fix it by abusing ks_limit instead of ks_next as a flag for being
on the list. Don't forget to clear the flag when a malloc type is
uninit'ed. Uninit'ing is still fundamentally broken -- it loses
history.
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
Use colons instead of semi-colons in the default init_path to behave like
UNIX instead of DOS.

particularly annoying hack, namely having the linker bash the moduledata
to set the container pointer, preventing it being const. In the process,
a stack of warnings were fixed and will probably allow a revisit of the
const C_SYSINIT() changes. This explicitly registers modules in files or
preload areas with the module system first, and let them initialize via
SYSINIT/DECLARE_MODULE later in their SI_ORDER_xxx order. The kludge of
finding the containing file is no longer needed since the registration
of modules onto the modules list is done in the context of initializing
the linker file.
sysinits, for example, are sorted by swapping those objects(!). Perhaps
they should be const and the sysinit sorting should be swapping the
pointers rather than the targets. This is on my revisit list, but it
has the side effect of removing a lot of warnings. With -Wcast-qual, it
doesn't seem easy to get rid of the constness when you *know* it's not.

files at once on a filesystem running soft updates. The root of
the problem is that soft updates limits the amount of memory that
may be allocated to dependency structures so as to avoid hogging
kernel memory. The original algorithm just waited for the disk I/O
to catch up and reduce the number of dependencies. This new code
takes a much more aggressive approach. Basically there are two
resources that routinely hit the limit. Inode dependencies during
periods with a high file creation rate and file and block removal
dependencies during periods with a high file removal rate. I have
attacked these problems from two fronts. When the inode dependency
limits are reached, I pick a random inode dependency, UFS_UPDATE
it together with all the other dirty inodes contained within its
disk block and then write that disk block. This trick usually
clears 5-50 inode dependencies in a single disk I/O. For block and
file removal dependencies, I pick a random directory page that has
at least one remove pending and VOP_FSYNC its directory. That
releases all its removal dependencies to the work queue. To further
hasten things along, I also immediately start the work queue process
rather than waiting for its next one second scheduled run.

camcontrol.[c8]:
- We now support two new commands, "tags" and "negotiate".
- The tags commands allows users to view the number of tagged
openings for a device as well as a number of other related
parameters, and it allows users to set tagged openings for
a device.
- The negotiate command allows users to enable and disable
disconnection and tagged queueing, set sync rates, offsets
and bus width. Note that not all of those features are
available for all controllers. Only the adv, ahc, and ncr
drivers fully support all of the features at this point.
Some cards do not allow the setting of sync rates, offsets and
the like, and some of the drivers don't have any facilities to
do so. Some drivers, like the adw driver, only support enabling

This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light

The HCF Light lacks certain featurs from the full (but proprietary) HCF

just enough register information about the Hermes chip to allow someone
with enough spare time and energy to implement a proper driver. (I would

wicontrol utility allows programming the desired service set name (SSID)
and enabling BSS mode, but I can't tell for sure if it works (I know the
card switches modes, but I can't verify that it joins a service set
correctly).
This driver was written using information gleaned from the Lucent HCF Light
library, which is an API library designed to simplify driver development
for devices based on the Lucent Hermes chip. Unfortunately, the HCF Light
is missing certain features (like 802.11 frame encapsulation!) which are
available only in the proprietary complete HCF code, which is not available
to the public. This driver uses none of the HCF Light code: it's very ugly
and contaminated by the GPL. IP and ARP packets are encapsulated as 802.11
frames, everything else is encapsulated as 802.3.
(It would be easier to just get the Hermes programming manual, but that's

abuses its argument, which is supposed to be an integer unit number, as
a pointer to the head of the 'struct slot' list. When this code was
hacked^Wupdated for newbus, a new mechanism for registering slot_irq_handler()
was put in place and the significance of the unit number was overlooked.
When registering an interrupt, we have both device_id and unit. The unit
number is passed as 'unit' but /sys/i386/usa/intr_machdep.c:register_intr()
drops unit on the floor and uses device_id instead. Since pccard_alloc_intr()
always sets device_id to 0, this means the unit number is always zero, and
slot_irq_handler() is always called with 0, which becomes a NULL pointer
which slot_irq_handler() tries to dereference and the kernel explodes.
Result: if you assign a PCMCIA driver in the kernel config file like this:
device wi0 at isa? port? irq?
Then the system will panic the moment a PCMCIA device is attached and
an interrupt is triggered.
The quick fix: make pccard_alloc_intr() pass the unit number as both
the device_id and unit arguments to register_pcic_intr(). The correct fix
would be to rewrite /sys/pccard to be less disgusting.

piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =

routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often

formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

if there's benefit to setting it to the exact amount, it appears the
card has 32K of ram, and 8K is used for outgoing packets, that would
be something like a queue limit of 5 packets. I don't think that's
useful...)

with rev 1.79 (part of the PC98 nss driver commit).
"use" and replaces it with equivalent inline code. The reason is that
Perl has some very nasty circular dependancies, and I am trying to
get the System Perl upgraded by one maintenance level.
The basic rule, until I can find a way to solve this, is that
the build tools MAY NOT use any library code; it must all be inline.
If a drive has gone down and has dirty buffers associated with it,
we'll get a panic when we try to vn_close it. Check for this
situation and discard any buffers; they're toast anyway.

of the interrupt resource and the final initialisation of the

Hook up the i686 MP code to do this for each AP.
Be more careful about printing the default memory type for the i686.

- Try to unbreak what I broke by screwing with the tx queuing again.
I'm waiting for a few more people to test out this code and report back
before I move it into current. Hopefully it will be soon. Basically I
reverted to the old TX queuing strategy.
- Add experimental support for the 3c900B-FL (10mbps ST fiber). The card
should be detected properly and the 10baseFL mode supported, but again
I'm still waiting for word from a tester to see if this actually works.
It shouldn't affect the other cards though; all the differences are in
media selection.
- Set the TX start threshold register to get better performance.
- Increase the size of the RX and TX rings. UDP performance was pretty
bad because the TX ring was too small. Should be substantially better
now (I can saturate the link with either TCP or UDP now).
- Change some of the #defines to reflect proper 3Com ASIC names (boomerang,
cyclone, krakatoa, hurricane).
- Simplify and reorganize interrupt handler; ack all interrupts right
away and then process them. This avoids a potential race condition.
(Noted by Matt Dillon.)
- Reorganize the bridging code to eliminate using a goto to jump into
the middle of an if() {} clause. Sorry, that just made my brain itch.
- Use m_adj() in xl_rxeof().
- Make the payload alignment in xl_newbuf() the default (instead of
just conditionally defined for the alpha) to improve NFS performance
(avoids need for nfs_realign()).
This patch also moves the bogus comment (the comment is still not quite
right) and (as a side effect) removes some verbose initialisations (we
depend on static initialisation to 0 for almost everything in proc0).
The alpha kernels are bootable again. The change won't affect i386's
until machdep.c is changed.

In heavy-writing situations, QUEUE_LRU can contain a large number
of DELWRI buffers at its head. These buffers must be moved
to the tail if they cannot be written async in order to reduce
the scanning time required to skip past these buffers in later
getnewbuf() calls.

from ever catching up to the transmit consumer index. We can't let this
happen because ti_txeof() depends on the assumption that producer == consumer
means the ring is empty, and producer != consumer means the ring has some
number of active descriptors in it.
This will allow software teletext/intercast/subtitles decoding
while watching a TV station.
Based on code from Hiroki Mori <mori@infocity.co.jp> but reworked by
myself.
Add new #ifdef. By defining BKTR_NO_MSP_RESET you can prevent the
MSP34xx being reset by the bt848 driver. This is handy
if you pre-initialise the MSP34xx stereo audio chip in another
operating system first (eg MS Windows).

PV_TABLE_REF cleared before PV_TABLE_MOD, the page may get fault on read again.
On fault on write, pmap_emulate_reference mark the page dirty with
vm_page_dirty. That decrease ill effects of the bug.
The problem probably become more serious after my rev.1.18 a week ago.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

that doesn't have it. This is achieved by having minimal do-nothing stubs
enabled when there are no bpfilter devices configured.
Driver modules should be built with BPF enabled for maximum
convenience (but can be built without it for maximum performance).
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.
