Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound
termio
All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.
While there, cleanup linux.h some more.
linux.h and linux_ioctl.[ch] have been made to conform to style(9) as
much as possible.

Merge the contents (less some trivial bordering the silly comments)
of <vm/vm_prot.h> and <vm/vm_inherit.h> into <vm/vm.h>. This puts
the #defines for the vm_inherit_t and vm_prot_t types next to their
typedefs.
This paves the road for the commit to follow shortly: change
useracc() to use VM_PROT_{READ|WRITE} rather than B_{READ|WRITE}
as argument.
glibc2 defines struct dirent differently than the Linux kernel does.
The getdents function therefore needs to read a heuristically defined
number of kernel dirents to satisfy the request. In case where too
many kernel dirents have been read, the function lseeks on the
directory so that a next call will start with the right dirent. The
offset used in lseeking is the offset-field in the last dirent passed
to the application. This can only mean that the offset-field holds
the offset of the next dirent and not the offset of the dirent itself.
-----------------------------
The compatibility code and/or emulators have been updated:
iBCS2 now mostly uses the older syscalls. SVR4 now properly
handles all signals. This has been achieved by using the
new sigset_t throughout the emulator. The Linuxulator has
been severely updated. Internally the new Linux sigset_t is
made the default. These are then mapped to and from the
new FreeBSD sigset_t.
Also, rt_sigsuspend has been implemented in the Linuxulator.
Implementing this syscall basicly caused all this sigset_t
changing in the first place and the syscall has been used
throughout the change as a means for testing. It basicly is
too much work to undo the implementation so that it can
later be added again.
A special note on the use of sv_sigtbl and sv_sigsize in
struct sysentvec:
Every signal larger than sv_sigsize is not translated and is
passed on to the signal handler unmodified. Signals in the
range 1 upto and including sv_sigsize are translated.
The rationale is that only the system defined signals need to
be translated.
The emulators also have been updated so that the translation
tables are only indexed for valid (system defined) signals.
This change also fixes the translation bug already in the
SVR4 emulator.
fields in struct cdevsw:
d_stop moved to struct tty.
d_reset already unused.
d_devtotty linkage now provided by dev_t->si_tty.
These fields will be removed from struct cdevsw together with
d_params and d_maxio Real Soon Now.
The changes in this patch consist of:
initialize dev->si_tty in *_open()
initialize tty->t_stop

add a couple of FreeBSD tags
far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for
changes. The biggest change is that now, you don't use
fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar)
but instead
fo_foo(fp, bar),
which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit.
Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided. Each does what it
seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the
fd is freed as well.

These variables are copy-on-write (as suggested by phk). This means that
imprisoned processes will use the system wide value unless it is written/set

used.
A note about the implementation:
I choose to add a single pointer to struct prison, because I didn't like the
idea of changing struct prison every time I come up with a new variable. As
a side effect, the extra storage is only needed when a variable is set from
within the prison. This also minimizes kernel bloat when the Linuxulator is
not used; both compiled in or as a module.

udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()

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).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.

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.
- Optimise the linux a.out loading and uselib system calls so they
take advantage of some of John's recent interface improvements.
Basically, this means they make far less map changes than before.
- Attempt to plug some potentially nasty kernel_map memory leaks..
- Improve support for QMAGIC libs (I only use QMAGIC (ie: a.out libraries from
the slackware 3.0 dist) but this depends on other changes to enhance
the /compat/linux support)
- uselib goes out through a single exit as part of the resource tracking
that I did when closing the resource leaks on errors. This could be
cleaner than what I did, but making a 30-deep nested if/else was not my
idea of fun, neither did I want to repeat the same code 30 times over for
each failure possibility. I guess this function needs to be split into
smaller functions to solve this.
I've been running the Linux Netscape-2.0 (with Java) to test this, and apart
from the long-standing problem with the missing scrollbars, it appears to
still work as before with ZMAGIC libs (and the leaks).. However, I've
been using it with mods for the signal trampoline code for native linux stack
frames on signals and exterminated the blasted sigreturn printf() problem,
so I can't be certain that there is not a dependency on something else.
fstat() syscall, rather than panic("linux newfstat").
(Note: I've extracted this from a larger set of diffs, I'm confident I've
not missed any dependencies but can't modload it to test it on my system)
successfully run linux netscape 2.0b3 with a QMAGIC ld.so and libc/libm
that I found on some linux machine that I _think_ is running slackware 3.0.
There are still problems.. ld.so claims the libraries are the wrong
format, but it still runs anyway.. :-/ The QMAGIC ld.so also screams
about needing ld.so.cache, and running a linux ldconfig is quite
educational. You soon learn to run "chroot /compat/linux /bin/ldconfig"
where ldconfig is living in /compat/linux/bin. :-]
(Lets just say that it puts loads of symlinks in /usr/lib otherwise :-)
