- TLS - complete
- pid/tid mangling - complete
- thread area - complete
- futexes - complete with issues
- clone() extension - complete with some possible minor issues
- mq*/timer*/clock* stuff - complete but untested and the mq* stuff is
disabled when not build as part of the kernel with native FreeBSD mq*
support (module support for this will come later)
Tested with:
- linux-firefox - works, tested
- linux-opera - works, tested
- linux-realplay - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-skype - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-rt2-demo - works, tested
- linux-acroread - doesnt work, unknown reason (coredump) and sometimes
issue with futexes
- various unix utilities in linux-base-gentoo3 and linux-base-fc4:
everything tried worked
On amd64 not everything is supported like on i386, the catchup is planned for
later when the remaining bugs in the new functions are fixed.
To test this new stuff, you have to run
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
to switch back use
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2
Don't switch while running a linux program, strange things may or may not
happen.

- Remove bogus code to handle the case where namei() returns success but a
NULL vnode pointer.
- Note that this code duplicates exec_check_permissions() and annotate
where it differs.
- Hold the vnode lock longer to protect the write to set VV_TEXT in
v_vflag.
- Mark linux_uselib() MPSAFE.

This fix is different from the patch submitted as it not only prevents
a NULL-pointer dereference, but also skips some work in this case.

changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.
2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.
3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.
4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.
5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.
6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

- Allow vm_mmap() to map device memory via cdev objects in addition to
vnodes and anonymous memory. Note that mmaping a cdev directly does not
currently perform any MAC checks like mapping a vnode does.
- Unbreak the DRM getbufs ioctl by having it call vm_mmap() directly on the

the raw values including for child process statistics and only compute the
system and user timevals on demand.
- Fix the various kern_wait() syscall wrappers to only pass in a rusage
pointer if they are going to use the result.
- Add a kern_getrusage() function for the ABI syscalls to use so that they
don't have to play stackgap games to call getrusage().
- Fix the svr4_sys_times() syscall to just call calcru() to calculate the
times it needs rather than calling getrusage() twice with associated
stackgap, etc.
- Add a new rusage_ext structure to store raw time stats such as tick counts
for user, system, and interrupt time as well as a bintime of the total
runtime. A new p_rux field in struct proc replaces the same inline fields
from struct proc (i.e. p_[isu]ticks, p_[isu]u, and p_runtime). A new p_crux
field in struct proc contains the "raw" child time usage statistics.
ruadd() has been changed to handle adding the associated rusage_ext
structures as well as the values in rusage. Effectively, the values in
rusage_ext replace the ru_utime and ru_stime values in struct rusage. These
two fields in struct rusage are no longer used in the kernel.
- calcru() has been split into a static worker function calcru1() that
calculates appropriate timevals for user and system time as well as updating
the rux_[isu]u fields of a passed in rusage_ext structure. calcru() uses a
copy of the process' p_rux structure to compute the timevals after updating
the runtime appropriately if any of the threads in that process are
currently executing. It also now only locks sched_lock internally while
doing the rux_runtime fixup. calcru() now only requires the caller to
hold the proc lock and calcru1() only requires the proc lock internally.
calcru() also no longer allows callers to ask for an interrupt timeval
since none of them actually did.
- calcru() now correctly handles threads executing on other CPUs.
- A new calccru() function computes the child system and user timevals by
calling calcru1() on p_crux. Note that this means that any code that wants
child times must now call this function rather than reading from p_cru
directly. This function also requires the proc lock.
- This finishes the locking for rusage and friends so some of the Giant locks
in exit1() and kern_wait() are now gone.
- The locking in ttyinfo() has been tweaked so that a shared lock of the
proctree lock is used to protect the process group rather than the process
group lock. By holding this lock until the end of the function we now
ensure that the process/thread that we pick to dump info about will no
longer vanish while we are trying to output its info to the console.

on AMD64, and the general case where the emulated platform has different
size pointers than we use natively:
- declare certain structure members as l_uintptr_t and use the new PTRIN
and PTROUT macros to convert to and from native pointers.
- declare some structures __packed on amd64 when the layout would differ
from that used on i386.
- include <machine/../linux32/linux.h> instead of <machine/../linux/linux.h>
if compiling with COMPAT_LINUX32. This will need to be revisited before
32-bit and 64-bit Linux emulation support can coexist in the same kernel.
- other small scattered changes.
This should be a no-op on i386 and Alpha.

options, status pointer and rusage pointer as arguments. It is up to
the caller to copyout the status and rusage to userland if needed. This
lets us axe the 'compat' argument and hide all that functionality in
owait(), by the way. This also cleans up some locking in kern_wait()
since it no longer has to drop locks around copyout() since all the
copyout()'s are deferred.
- Convert owait(), wait4(), and the various ABI compat wait() syscalls to
use kern_wait() rather than wait1() or wait4(). This removes a bit
more stackgap usage.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.

rotted non-fatally in rev.1.105 and fatally in rev.1.137.
Many more non-egregrious casts are strictly required for conversions
from semi-opaque types to pointers, but we avoid most of them by using
types that are almost certain to be compatible with uintptr_t for
representing pointers (e.g., vm_offset_t). Here we don't really want
the u_longs, but we have them because a.out.h and its support code
doesn't use typedefs (it uses unsigned in V7 and unsigned long in
FreeBSD) and is too obsolete to fix now.
- cut the version string at the newline, suppressing information about
who built the kernel and in what directory. Most of this information

which binary to run often does not know what to make of "i386".

- Change linux_get_prison() to take a thread instead of a proc for its

because a thread's prison does not change even though it's ucred might.
- Also, change linux_get_prison() to return a struct prison * instead of
a struct linux_prison * since it returns with the struct prison locked
and this makes it easier to safely unlock the prison when we are done
messing with it.

gets signals operating based on a TailQ, and is good enough to run X11,
GNOME, and do job control. There are some intricate parts which could be
more refined to match the sigset_t versions, but those require further
evaluation of directions in which our signal system can expand and contract
to fit our needs.
After this has been in the tree for a while, I will make in kernel API
changes, most notably to trapsignal(9) and sendsig(9), to use ksiginfo
more robustly, such that we can actually pass information with our
(queued) signals to the userland. That will also result in using a
struct ksiginfo pointer, rather than a signal number, in a lot of
kern_sig.c, to refer to an individual pending signal queue member, but
right now there is no defined behaviour for such.
CODAFS is unfinished in this regard because the logic is unclear in
some places.
