- it has longer timeout as per the PnP COM Device Specificaiton 1.0,
- and it tries to obtain the PnP ID string by strictly following the
specification and if it fails, by deploying slightly simplified
steps. (moused has used the simplified method because early PnP mice
do not exactly follow the specification. But now, recent mice
do not supply the ID string unless the strict procedure is used...)
Jointly developed by luigi and yokota.
Drastically quieten down the verbose load progress messages. They were
more useful for debugging than anything, but are beyond a joke when loading
a few dozen modules.
Simplify the ELF extended symbol table load format. Just take the main
symbol table and the string table that corresponds. This is what we will
be getting local symbols from. (needed for the alpha stack tracebacks).
Use the (optional) full symbol tables in lookups. This means we have to
furhter distinguish between symbols that can come from the dynamic linking
table and the complete table.
The alpha boot code now needs to be adapted as ddb/db_elf.c cannot use
the simpler format.
I have not implemented loading the extended symbol tables from the syscall
interface yet, just for preloaded modules.
I am not sure about the symbol resolution. I *think* it's possible that
a local symbol can be found in preference to a global, depending on the
search sequence and dependency tree.
update of the quirk entry descriptions to reflect the current state of
things.
Once I find out where such things belong, I'll document things like
the changer scheduling mechanism, actions taken at probe, etc.
This includes a description of the changer timeout kernel options and
sysctl variables. I didn't check to make sure the ioctl descriptions are
up to date; that will come sometime later. (The ioctls haven't changed in
the CAM driver, but I'm not sure if the man page was in sync with even the
old driver.)
Change the ELF registration/unregistration scheme to be less error prone.
Adding a new brand requires a single addition to linux_brandlist instead of
modifying linux_load(), linux_unload(), and linux_elf_init().

MD4Update(), but our version in libmd expects a byte count.
This code is not currently compiled or linked into pppd, so I'm
reasonably sure I didn't break anything. :-) I added the necessary
statements to the Makefile, but left them commented out because we
are in feature freeze. When the code is enabled, we must be careful
to build it only if the DES library is available.
Formerly, the heuristic involving the interpreter path took
precedence.
Also, print a better error message if the brand is missing or not
recognized. If there is no brand at all, give the user a hint that
"brandelf" needs to be run.
Remove /sys/boot from legacy-build.
Add btxld to build-tools.
In src/sys/Makefile:
Add /sys/boot for i386 ELF.
I'm still not sure why the new boot code was being built along with the
legacy stuff, which meant a completely wrong default environment for it.
This may well still be the wrong way to go about this, but it can't work
all that much worse than it has been.
o make install ; make install now works
o make all ; make all is quiet the second time
o Dependancies are properliy debugged; this means that make -jN has a
far hihjer likelyhood of working.
o a proper 'link farm' has been constructed for the build. This
dramatically simplifies the dependancy tangle.
o for perldoc's use, all the .pod files are installed.
o the man3 docs are properly compressed.
o the man pages and libary code are installed by the makefiles, not
by a perl script.
o at the end, h2ph is run.
- the directory was wrong if ${SHLIBDIR} != ${LIBDIR}. It's still wrong
if the installation of the obsolete library was done before /aout was
appended to LIBDIR.
- the version would have become wrong when the default in ../Makefile.inc
is changed from 2.0.
- the comment mostly described moving of libraries to /usr/lib/compat, but
we don't do that.
difference, but might later on when we implement some sort of multi-head
console mode. Select a console after probing them all.
Don't strdup a potentially NULL return from getenv().
If we don't select an active console, choose the first regardless.
Call the console init function, at startup time and on a manual change.
The env_setenv() function needs EV_VOLATILE because it's pointing to
data that isn't malloc'ed and will cause a fault if it's freed later.
Cosmetic change to the init-time character eater (like, make it increment
the index counter - if there's a problem, it would sit there in an infinite
loop instead of only running 10 times).
Also, make sure we set %dx each time around otherwise the commands
suddenly start trying to work on things like com92 instead of com1.
Make sure comc_init() is only run once.
Cosmetic change to init-time character eater.

Also. Don't build & install legacy lkm's when NOLKM has been set.
Otherwise it gets built in the src tree rather than obj, because the
previous 'make obj' at the start of legacy-build does respect NOLKM.
fxp_stop is called as the first thing in fxp_init, and if the tx desc
list has junk in it, the system may panic. This bug showed up as a side
effect of the changes in rev 1.56, but has been in the code since the
beginning.
shared versions should not need to add -lm unless the program uses libm
itself. Strictly speaking, libg++ depends on libstdc++, but libstdc++
has dynamic dependencies on some exception tables and binutils doesn't
seem to like it when a secondary library has undefined references. It
doesn't seem to care when -lstdc++ is added on the command line to ld
though. Anyway, the c++ driver adds -lstdc++ explicitly, so that should
be OK. c++ also adds -lm explicitly too, even though it wouldn't need
to now. [except for statically linked binaries as .a files don't have an
equivalent of automatic internal shared object dependencies.]
Linux and FreeBSD signal numbers. Also, check signal numbers passed
in from application programs for validity. Without these checks,
it is trivial to panic the system from a Linux program.
