-current commit for st.c, kernel support for /bin/mt's 'comp' option.
(tested with exabyte and DAT tape units. Does not apparently work with
all SCSI tape's, though).
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
- Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions. These will be
obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
area becomes directly addressable.
- Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
and arbitrary type string with it. This can be used eg. for loading
splash-screen images etc.
- Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure. We know how to look for
dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
and what to do if things go wrong. Only works for a.out at the
moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader. Attach KLD module information
to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
can find it itself).
- Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary. Only pad the a.out BSS
for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away. (We might want
to do this for KLD modules too.)
- Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
it with things like 'echo'. Add 'echo'.
- Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
- Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
- Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
(not terribly useful for the average user)
- Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
- The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
/boot directory to use that name.
- Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
arch_readin()
vfsops. vfs_oid will be used to attach and detach vfs sysctls
dynamically. vfs_uninit() will be used to clean up before
modunloading vfs LKMs. The nfs LKM needs these features most.
src/lkm/Makefile.inc. This fixes broken builds of the syscons LKMs
when OBJFORMAT=elf. Removed src/lkm/Makefile.inc since it became
empty and is worse than useless.
as bridging statistics when using Luigi's bridging code.
Also added some ifdef's to (hopefully) get it to compile under 2.2.x

shared object. Note, this searches _only_ that object, and not its
needed objects, in accordance with the documentation.
Also fix dlopen(NULL, ...) so that the executable's needed objects
are searched as well as the executable itself.
and res_* modules in a way that works for ELF. I moved the aliases
out of res_stubs.c and into the individual modules where the entry
points are defined. Weak aliases don't work in ELF unless that is
the case. (Actually, I'm surprised it worked for a.out.)
This should fix the undefined "inet_addr" and related symbols in
various applications that fail to include <arpa/inet.h> or
<resolv.h> as they are supposed to do.
with the object format determined by objformat. This prevents foot
shooting (a form of boot scooting for hackers?) where local changes
to /etc/make.conf or /etc/make.conf.local try to override OBJFORMAT
in an incomplete way.
arguments as appropriate. This is necessary because setting OBJFORMAT=aout
in the makefile doesn't get exported to the environment. I wish our
make could do that!
- Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules.
This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication.
- Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel.
- Use the common module management code for all module metadata.
- Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away.
- Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out
kld modules.
