data pointed at in a ktrace file, if this process is being ktrace'ed.
I'm using this to profile malloc usage.
The advantage is that there is no context around this call, ie, no
open file or socket, so it will work in any process, and you can
decide if you want it to collect data or not.
are about to go in. This is to fix the problem with the ibcs2 and linux
lkm's not being able to call the sysv ipc functions unless the build is
modified.
NetBSD interface.
Increased the bogusness of the args list for mmap(). The args lists for
most of the memory mapping functions are bogus. The args lists in
syscalls.master are a little better than the ones in the args structs
currently being used, but the improvement for mmap() changed the object
code and I don't want to worry about that now.
Increased the bogusness of the args list for fcntl. BSD4.4lite2/NetBSD
uses `void *' instead of int for the third arg. This has the advantage
of working when `void *'s are longer than ints, but requires extra bogus
casts that I hope to avoid.
Fixed the args list for uname. `struct outsname' seems to be a typo,
not an old interface.
Added comments about bogus args lists for open, mount, msync, munmap,
mprotect, madvise, mincore, fcntl, semsys, msgsys and shmsys.
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.
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.
<sys/sysproto.h> and use them (so far only) in kern/init_sysent.c.
Don't put $Id in generated files.
kern/syscalls.master:
I had to add some new fields to describe some non-orthogonal names.
E.g., the args struct for the syscall-implementing function foo()
is usually named `foo_args', but for getpid() it is named `args'.
sys/sysent.h:
sy_call_t is still incomplete to hide a couple of warnings.
This code is mostly taken from the 1.1 port (which was in turn taken from
Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:
1) ntp_gettime() is now a MIB variable rather than a system call. A few
fiddles are done in libc to make it behave the same.
2) mono_time does not participate in the PLL adjustments.
3) A new interface has been defined (in <machine/clock.h>) for doing
possibly machine-dependent things around the time of the clock update.
This is used in Pentium kernels to disable interrupts, set `time', and
reset the CPU cycle counter as quickly as possible to avoid jitter in
microtime(). Measurements show an apparent resolution of a bit more than
8.14usec, which is reasonable given system-call overhead.
