is currently conditional on both the GEOM and GEOM_GPT options to
avoid getting GPT by default and having the MBR and GPT classes
clash.
The correct behaviour of the MBR class would be to back-off (reject)
a MBR if it's a Protective MBR (a MBR with a single partition of type
0xEE that spans the whole disk (as far as the MBR is concerned).
The correct behaviour if the GPT class would be to back-off (reject)
a GPT if there's a MBR that's not a Protective MBR.
At this stage it's inconvenient to destroy a good MBR when working
with GPTs that it's more convenient to have the MBR class back-off
when it detects the GPT signature on disk and have the GPT class
ignore the MBR.
In sys/gpt.h UUIDs (GUIDs) for the following FreeBSD partitions
have been defined:
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD
FreeBSD slice with disklabel. This is the equivalent of
the well-known FreeBSD MBR partition type.
GPT_ENT_TYPE_FREEBSD_{SWAP|UFS|UFS2|VINUM}
FreeBSD partitions in the context of disklabel. This is
speculating on the idea to use the GPT to hold partitions
instead if slices and removing the fixed (and low) limits
we have on the number of partitions.
This commit lacks a GPT image for the regression suite.
The uuidgen command, by means of the uuidgen syscall, generates one
or more Universally Unique Identifiers compatible with OSF/DCE 1.1
version 1 UUIDs.
From the Perforce logs (change 11995):
Round of cleanups:
o Give uuidgen() the correct prototype in syscalls.master
o Define struct uuid according to DCE 1.1 in sys/uuid.h
o Use struct uuid instead of uuid_t. The latter is defined
in sys/uuid.h but should not be used in kernel land.
o Add snprintf_uuid(), printf_uuid() and sbuf_printf_uuid()
to kern_uuid.c for use in the kernel (currently geom_gpt.c).
o Rename the non-standard struct uuid in kern/kern_uuid.c
to struct uuid_private and give it a slightly better definition
for better byte-order handling. See below.
o In sys/gpt.h, fix the broken uuid definitions to match the now
compliant struct uuid definition. See below.
o In usr.bin/uuidgen/uuidgen.c catch up with struct uuid change.
A note about byte-order:
The standard failed to provide a non-conflicting and
unambiguous definition for the binary representation. My initial
implementation always wrote the timestamp as a 64-bit little-endian
(2s-complement) integral. The clock sequence was always written
as a 16-bit big-endian (2s-complement) integral. After a good
nights sleep and couple of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (not
necessarily in that order :-) I reread the spec and came to the
conclusion that the time fields are always written in the native
by order, provided the the low, mid and hi chopping still occurs.
The spec mentions that you "might need to swap bytes if you talk
to a machine that has a different byte-order". The clock sequence
is always written in big-endian order (as is the IEEE 802 address)
because its division is resulting in bytes, making the ordering
unambiguous.
"The only hard problem in cryptography is key-management."
All sectors are encrypted with AES in CBC mode using a constant key,
currently compiled in and all zero.
To activate this module, write the magic header on the partition:
echo "<<FreeBSD-GEOM-AES>>" | dd conv=sync of=/dev/md98
The encrypted device will be one sector shorter and have ".aes"
appended to its name.

shared code and converting all ufs references. Originally it may
have made sense to share common features between the two filesystems,
but recently it has only caused problems, the UFS2 work being the
final straw.
All UFS_* indirect calls are now direct calls to ext2_* functions,
and ext2fs-specific mount and inode structures have been introduced.
0xdeadc0de and then check for it just before memory is handed off as part
of a new request. This will catch any post free/pre alloc modification of
memory, as well as introduce errors for anything that tries to dereference
it as a pointer.
This code takes the form of special init, fini, ctor and dtor routines that
are specificly used by malloc. It is in a seperate file because additional
debugging aids will want to live here as well.
ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.

(VME, FutureBUS, and TurboChannel stubs not provided.)
- Add infrastructure to build driver and bus front-end modules.
time-of-day clocks, ported from NetBSD. The front-ends are expected
to be at least partly machine-dependent; the sparc64 EBus and SBus
ones will be commited to MD directories for now (in a subsequent commit).
a set of helper routines to deal with real-time clocks. The generic
functions access the clock diver using a kobj interface. This is intended
to reduce code reduplication and make it easy to support more than one
clock model on a single architecture.
This code is currently only used on sparc64, but it is planned to convert
the code of the other architectures to it later.
I have not been able to find very much information about the PC98
extended partition layout so this is gleaned from the source in
our pc98 architecture. Corrections and patched very welcome.

The detection code in this method is written so that it should work on
all architectures which means that you can plug a Sun disk into a i386
now and access the partitions.
We still need an endian-agnostic ufs/ffs before this is really
interresting, but the main focus was to get sparc64 onto the GEOM
trail.
This makes other power-management system (APM for now) to be able to
generate power profile change events (ie. AC-line status changes), and
other kernel components, not only the ACPI components, can be notified
the events.
- move subroutines in acpi_powerprofile.c (removed) to kern/subr_power.c
- call power_profile_set_state() also from APM driver when AC-line
status changes
- add call-back function for Crusoe LongRun controlling on power
profile changes for a example
buffer length, determine if the pointer is to a valid string. Currently,
the only check is whether a '\0' appears in the buffer. This is useful
when pulling in a structure from userland that may contain one or more
strings, and validity testing must be performed on elements of the
structure. When copying normal string arguments, copyinstr() is
expected to be used.
