This patch causes too many side effects, one of which bites hard is
when interrupting a 'make fetch' in the ports tree (PR#1990).
This whole area is a real can of worms....
This most definately should go into 2.2

link to another file which has a long (>=100 char) name. When listing such
an archive, the name of the link is truncated to 99 characters, and when
extracting such an archive, an error is reported because it is trying to
create a hard link to a file which doesn't exist. This patch fixes that
problem and has also been sent to the GNU maintainers.

actually harmless.
2. Fixed code to match comment in scintr().
3. Don't allow even root to take control of the machine when securelevel > 0.
I've secured the accesses to PSL_IOPL in all drivers and asked pst to
review it, but he seems to be busy. Write access to /dev/kmem and
other critival devices currently leaks across raisings of securelevel
via open fd's, so there may as well be a similar leak for PSL_IOPL.
4. (Most important.) Don't corrupt memory beyond the screen buffers if
the cursor happens to be off the 80x25 screen when syscons starts.
5. Fix console cursor update (not perfect yet).

UserConfig. (Also document other syscons flags which were previously
undocumented).

negative-logic flags (flags 0x01 and 0x02 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
This changes the default from off to on. The options have been in current
for several months with no problems reported.
Added a boot-time negative-logic flag for the old I5886_FAST_BCOPY option
which went away too soon (flag 0x04 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
Added a boot-time way to set the memory size (iosiz in config, iosize in
userconfig for npx0).
LINT:
Removed old options. Documented npx0's flags and iosiz.
options.i386:
Removed old options.
identcpu.c:
Don't set the function pointers here. Setting them has to be delayed
until after userconfig has had a chance to disable them and until after
a good npx0 has been detected.
machdep.c:
Use npx0's iosize instead of MAXMEM if it is nonzero.
support.s:
Added vectors and glue code for copyin() and copyout().
Fixed ifdefs for i586_bzero().
Added ifdefs for i586_bcopy().
npx.c:
Set the function pointers here.
Clear hw_float when an npx exists but is too broken to use.
Restored style from a year or three ago in npxattach().
2.2 are more obvious. -Winline is unimportant, but -W gives thousands
of warnings for comparisions. Turning off -W also loses warnings for:
- auto variables clobbered by longjmp. Not much of a problem in the kernel.
- functions returning without a value. I don't like losing this.
- an expression statement or the left side of a comma operand contains no
side effects. Turning this off also stops warnings for the low quality
debugging macros in gsc.c and lpt.c.
Should be in 2.2.

most documentation says that it doesn't change %edi in the cases that
happened to matter (for hard disks).
This shall be in 2.1.6 and 2.2.

When malloc fails. don't try to memset NULL pointer, it cause core dump
Replace malloc+memset with calloc, theoretically it can do some

was it perl?) to edit all the ports Makefiles automatically and he
wanted to make sure multiple CATEGORIES lines (they were inserted

uses one or the other. This required some changes to the ahc_reset()
function, and how early the probes had to allocate their softc.
Turn the AHC_IN/OUT* macros into inline functions and lowercase their names
to indicate this change. Geting AHC_OUTSB to work as a macro doing
conditional memory mapped I/O would have been too gross.
Be smart about the STPWEN control bit in SCFRCTL1. It should only be set
if the low byte of the bus is to be terminated. We figure this out either
by "caching" the value left over from the BIOS setup before we reset the card
or by using the values stored in the seeprom if it is availible.

Stop setting STPWEN in the main driver and let the PCI front end do it
instead. It knows better.
Add the clearing of the QOUTQCNT variable during command complete processing
in the SCB paging case.
Go back to doing unconditional retries for the QUEUE FULL status condition.
This is really a kludge, but the code to handle it properly is on the SCSI
branch and will not make it into 2.2.

1) get_free_or_disc_scb was not being passed its argument correctly
in one case
2) Add protection in the form of the QOUTQCNT variable to prevent
overflowing the QOUTFIFO.
This should make SCB Paging work. Really, I mean it now. 8-)

Fix the other packet-information socket options (SO_TIMESTAMP, IP_RECVDSTADDR)
to work for multicast UDP and raw sockets as well. (They previously only
worked for unicast UDP).
endian-ness fix, Router Alert options on IGMP messages, and a
new keyword, "advert_metric", for fine-tuning tunnel metrics.
This also includes a new mtrace, which is also unreleased but
builds significantly on the experiences of users' troubles with
using and understanding mtrace in release 3.8 .
(unreleased does not, of course, mean untested!)
This is a candidate for both 2.2 and 2.1.6 .
