for now since I don't have any documentation on this card yet and it
is software compatible with the earlier cards.
The 2940 *Ultra* is Adaptec's push to take SCSI to 20MHz bus rates. Its
based on the aic7880 chip which is the successor to the aic7870.
Prototypes are located in <sys/sysproto.h>.
Add appropriate #include <sys/sysproto.h> to files that needed
protos from systm.h.
Add structure definitions to appropriate files that relied on sys/systm.h,
right before system call definition, as in the rest of the kernel source.
In kern_prot.c, instead of using the dummy structure "args", create
individual dummy structures named <syscall>_args. This makes
life easier for prototype generation.
Add CPT_NOA type which is COMPAT with NOARGS -- do not produce argument
struct in sysproto.
Change accept, recvfrom, getsockname to CPT_NOA type.
Fix getrlimit, setrlimit argument #2 name to struct rlimit.
Instead of using a fake "compat" argument, pass a real compat int to function
if COMPAT_43 is defined. Functions involved: wait4, accept, recvfrom,
getsockname.
With the compat psuedo-argument, this introduces an argument structure
that can have two possible sizes depending on compat options.
This makes life difficult for lkm modules like ibcs2, which would
have to guess what size used in kernel when compiled. Also,
the prototype generator for these structures cannot generate proper sizes.
Now there is only one fixed structure and makes everybody happy.
I recommend these changes be introduced to 2.1 so that ibcs2, linux
lkm's generated for 2.2 can still run on a 2.1 kernel.
o optional config-file to set vars: sysnames, sysproto, sysproto_h,
syshdr, syssw, syshide, syscallprefix, switchname, namesname, sysvec.
o change syntax of syscalls.master entry:
remove argument count.
add pseudo-prototype field defining function name and arguments.
o generates correct structure definitions for all system calls
in sys/sysproto.h
o add type NOARGS: same as STD except do not create structure in
sys/sysproto.h
o add type NOPROTO: same as STD except do not create structure or function
prototype in sys/sysproto.h
New functionality provides complete prototype definitions.
Usefull for generating files for emulated systems like my new ibcs2 code.
Update syscalls.master to reflect new changes. For example, read()
entry now looks like:
3 STD POSIX { int ibcs2_read(int fd, char *buf, u_int nbytes); }
This is similar to how NetBSD generates these files.
we're at it, eliminate obsolete exposure of `struct llinfo_arp' to
the world. (This dates back to when ARP entries were not stored in
the routing table, and there was no other way for the `arp' program
to read the whole table than to grovel around in /dev/kmem.)
match the board setting.
2) Fixed the warning message to properly print the irq mismatch (as opposed
to the bit encoded value).
3) Add irq autodetection if the kernel has "?" or no irq specified.
4) Add missing splimp protection in ixioctl().
functions. The application header <sys/user.h> includes <vm/vm.h>
which includes <vm/lock.h>...
vm.h:
Don't include <machine/cpufunc.h>. It is already included by
<sys/systm.h> in the kernel and isn't designed to be included by
applications (the 2.1 version causes a syntax error in C++ and the
current version has initializers that are invalid in strict C++).
lock.h:
Only declare kernel functions if KERNEL is defined.
for the same reasons as in slclose().
Free the cblock in the canonical queue in pppclose(). This is a no-op in
the usual cases where the tty is being closed or the line discipline is
being switched back to the standard discipline, but it saves a cblock if
the line discipline is being switched to one that doesn't use the canonical
queue.
Add prototypes. I use `extern' in prototypes for functions with bogus
linkage. This should be fixed someday.
Continue cleaning up new init stuff yet again.
and here is the patch. Submit it please. Thank you!
BTW, there is a new option "NDGBPORTS". By default it is equal to
NDGB*16 and means the number of ports of all Digiboards for which the
tty structures are reserved. It can be set to the real value in config-file
like:
options "NDGBPORTS=8"

to be no ill effects, and so far as Iknow none of the variables in
question depend on 16-bit wraparound behavior. (The sizes are in
many cases relics from when a PCB had to fit inside a 128-byte mbuf. PCBs
are no longer stored in that way, and the old structure would not have
fit, either.)
it was referenced from.. stops a rather annoying panic, but
introduces a rather interesting but "I can live with it" bug
`ln a b ; mv a b; echo ?`
returns a rather than b..
I know why but I need to think of the 'correct' answer. at least this is 'safe'
Obtained from: other people on the net ?
1. stepping over syscalls (gdb ni) sends you to DDB, and returned
to the wrong address afterwards, with or without DDB. patch in
i386/i386/trap.c below.
2. the linux emulator (modload'ed) still causes panics with DIAGNOSTIC,
re-applied a patch posted to one of the lists...
for testing.. (for cdevsw_add and bdevsw_add)
make the lkm code use the new generic devsw add routines (if so required)
define these routines in conf.h so we can use them
This is really just a token gesture at this point. We can't really turn
on swapping here anymore because (I think) we need to do a namei() lookup
in order to get a vnode which we can pass to swaponvp(). But to do a
namei(), we need a properly initialized proc structure, and we don't
have one. (I was hopping to toss it proc0, but that isn't initialized
until later.) We could conceiveably fabricate a dummy proc structure
to make namei() happy, but that's too much work for too little payoff.
For now, swapgeneric's only remaining saving grace is that it lets
you set the root device with -a.
This is a place for all things to do with conf.c and conf.h
that are not machine specific.
Other things that are at present in i386/isa/conf.c might
migrate into here..
It's the first small step in cleaning up the device interface
to make it more dynamic and to assist in more modular drivers
(i.e. both loadable via LKMs and linked in..
e.g able to add a device without having to edit conf.c)
this code is not yet used and the whole thing will be conditionally
compiled in for a while till proven useful :)
matching IP options..Check and test this - i made only a couple
of rough tests and this could be buggy.. Ipaccounting can't use
IP Options (and i don't see any need to cound packets with specific
options either..)
More to come...
