- don't include <sys/ioctl.h> in any header. Include <sys/ioccom.h>
instead. This was already done in 4.4Lite for the most important
ioctl headers. Header spam currently increases kernel build
times by 10-20%. There are more than 30000 #includes (not counting
duplicates) for compiling LINT.
- include <sys/types.h> if and only it is necessary to make the header
almost self-sufficient (some ioctl headers still need structs from
elsewhere).
- uniformized idempotency ifdefs. Copied the style in the 4.4Lite
ioctl headers.
It is needed for implementation details but very little of it is
needed for the interface. Include it in the few places that didn't
already include it.
Include <sys/ioccom.h> in <sys/disklabel.h> (as already in
<sys/diskslice.h>) so that all the disk-related headers are almost
self-sufficient.
comma expression has no effect" in the MAKE_SET() macro. This also
fixes compiling with -O3 (which removes static functions unless
there is a suitable reference to them). Declaring all the static
symbols as __unused would also fix the warning, but would be bogus
(they are used) and wouldn't fix -O3. However, the dummy pointers
for the references waste about 1.5K text and 20K symbol space for
GENERIC. This wastage hasn't changed - the dummy pointers are just
nonzero now.
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.
/*

struct timespec {
time_t ts_sec; /* seconds */
long ts_nsec; /* and nanoseconds */
};
The correct names of the fields are tv_sec and tv_nsec.

Bowrite guarantees that buffers queued after a call to bowrite will
be written after the specified buffer (to a particular device).
Bowrite does this either by taking advantage of hardware ordering support
(e.g. tagged queueing on SCSI devices) or by resorting to a synchronous write.
so that the compiler can see that it is OK to use const strings in
NDINIT(). Some emulators want to use paths of the form "/compat/foo".
Removed the casts that hid the non-problem. Didn't fix the missing
consts in syscalls.master that hid the non-problem.
were declared as non-const. This is backwards (_lkm_exec() changes the
pointers but all the target `struct execsw's are const). Fixed this
and poisoned related declarations to match and removed the bogus casts
that hid the bug.
the file access time update on reads and can be useful in reducing
filesystem overhead in cases where the access time is not important (like
Usenet news spools).

tells the reboot code in our at_shutdown module to turn off the UPS

The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

called kern_shutdown.c
note: I couldn't see anything machine dependant in the
functions boot() and dumpsys() which were in machdep.c
I have left a prototype for cpu_boot() which would go in
machdep.c, but I have nothing to put in it. Iexpect others will
let me know in no uncertain ways that this or that is machine dependant
and should be there, but I'll way for that to happen.. :)
I haven't actually taken the functions OUT of machdep
or anywhere else yet.. I'm checking in this file so others can have a look
at it and comment. SO PLEASE DO COMMENT!
I am also (in another checkin) addinf a man(9) page for the new
at_shotdown().. er freudian slip there.. at_shutdown() call
so have a look at that (and at_exit and at_fork as well)
and feed me comments..
I'll heck in the changes to make these (shutdown) changes active tomorrow
if no-one objects too strongly..
gcc-2.7 has __attribute__((unused)) as a postfix operator on function
arguments to prevent -Wunused from complaining about them. gcc < 2.7
doesn't have anything like this (and doesn't care about it either).
eg:
int foo(bar, baz)
int bar __unused; /* needed because of function pointer typing */
char *baz __unused;
{
return (1);
}
Saves about 280 butes of source per driver, 56 bytes in object size
and another 56 bytes moves from data to bss.
No functional change intended nor expected.
GENERIC should be about one k smaller now :-)
pr_usrreq mechanism which was poorly designed and error-prone. This
commit renames pr_usrreq to pr_ousrreq so that old code which depended on it
would break in an obvious manner. This commit also implements the new
interface for TCP, although the old function is left as an example
(#ifdef'ed out). This commit ALSO fixes a longstanding bug in the
TCP timer processing (introduced by davidg on 1995/04/12) which caused
timer processing on a TCB to always stop after a single timer had
expired (because it misinterpreted the return value from tcp_usrreq()
to indicate that the TCB had been deleted). Finally, some code
related to polling has been deleted from if.c because it is not
relevant t -current and doesn't look at all like my current code.
the high kernel calls into a protocol stack to perform requests on the
user's behalf. We replace the pr_usrreq() entry in struct protosw with a
pointer to a structure containing pointers to functions which implement
the various reuqests; each function is declared with the correct type and
number of arguments. (This is unlike the current scheme in which a quarter
of the requests take arguments of type other than (struct mbuf *) and the
difference is papered over with casts.) There are a few benefits to this
new scheme:
1) Arguments are passed with their correct types, and null-pointer dummies
are no longer necessary.
2) There should be slightly better caching effects from eliminating
the prximity to extraneous code and th switch in pr_usrreq().
3) It becomes much easier to change the types of the arguments to something
other than `struct mbuf *' (e.g.,pushing the work of sosend() into
the protocol as advocated by Van Jacobson).
There is one principal drawback: existing protocol stacks need to
be modified. This is alleviated by compatibility code in
uipc_socket2.c and uipc_domain.c which emulates the new interface
in terms of the old and vice versa.
This idea is not original to me. I read about what Jacobson did
in one of his papers and have tried to implement the first steps
towards something like that here. Much work remains to be done.
Fixed profiling of system times. It was pre-4.4Lite and didn't support
statclocks. System times were too small by a factor of 8.
Handle deferred profiling ticks the 4.4Lite way: use addupc_task() instead
of addupc(). Call addupc_task() directly instead of using the ADDUPC()
macro.
Removed vestigial support for PROFTIMER.
switch.s:
Removed addupc().
resourcevar.h:
Removed ADDUPC() and declarations of addupc().
cpu.h:
Updated a comment. i386's never were tahoe's, and the deferred profiling
tick became (possibly) multiple ticks in 4.4Lite.
