to be allocated at boot time. This is an expensive option, as they
consume physical ram and are not pageable etc. In certain situations,
this kind of option is quite useful, especially for news servers that
access a large number of directories at random and torture the name cache.
Defining 5000 or 10000 extra vnodes should cut down the amount of vnode
recycling somewhat, which should allow better name and directory caching
etc.
This is a "your mileage may vary" option, with no real indication of
what works best for your machine except trial and error. Too many will
cost you ram that you could otherwise use for disk buffers etc.
This is based on something John Dyson mentioned to me a while ago.
1) A spelling error pointed out by Paco Hope.
2) A bug in the range checking routing pointed out by Jim Bray.
3) Enables the setting of frames per second.

regarding apm to LINT
- Disabled the statistics clock on machines which have an APM BIOS and
have the options "APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK" enabled (which is default
in GENERIC now)
- move around some of the code in clock.c dealing with the rtc to make
it more obvios the effects of disabling the statistics clock

netscape-2.0 for Linux running all the Java stuff. The scrollbars are now
working, at least on my machine. (whew! :-)
I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.
The main changes:
COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".
A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.
linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.
Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.
The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.
Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:
The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.
The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.
makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)
At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.
Close the ip-fragment hole.
Waste less memory.
Rewrite to contemporary more readable style.
Kill separate IPACCT facility, use "accept" rules in IPFIREWALL.
Filter incoming >and< outgoing packets.
Replace "policy" by sticky "deny all" rule.
Rules have numbers used for ordering and deletion.
Remove "rerorder" code entirely.
Count packet & bytecount matches for rules.
Code in -current & -stable is now the same.
to enable IP forwarding, use sysctl(8). Also did the same for IPX,
which involved inventing a completely new MIB from whole cloth (which
I may not quite have correct); be aware of this if you use IPX forwarding.
(The two should never have been controlled by the same option anyway.)
or deleted.
Motivated by: `int doclusteread = 1;' in ext2_vnops.c redefined
doclusterread if DEBUG is defined, so it could not have worked.
This was fixed by staticizing things before it caused problems.
I didn't find any more cases like this.
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..
allow one EISA/ISA/PCI/VL Buslogic controller to be probed. The driver
is almost fully dynamic. It just needs some kdc work and for the SCSI code
to stop passing unit numbers up in the scsi_xfer struct.
o Add signed/unsigned functionality to the matrox meteor device driver.
o Apply a few fixes to the sound driver.
o Add a ``SPIGOT_UNSECURE'' compile time definition so, if one defines
SPIGOT_UNSECURE in their conf file, then they can use the spigot w/o
root. There is a warning that this allows users access to the IO
page which is probably not secure.
