the sscape/trix driver active, which (for some reason) disables the
mpu401 driver, causing an undefined reference to mpuintr. This was broken
with rev 1.79 (part of the PC98 nss driver commit).
"use" and replaces it with equivalent inline code. The reason is that
Perl has some very nasty circular dependancies, and I am trying to
get the System Perl upgraded by one maintenance level.
The basic rule, until I can find a way to solve this, is that
the build tools MAY NOT use any library code; it must all be inline.
If a drive has gone down and has dirty buffers associated with it,
we'll get a panic when we try to vn_close it. Check for this
situation and discard any buffers; they're toast anyway.
Only complain about usage count if DEBUG_WARNINGS is set.
check_drive:
Change parameter name from drivename to devicename.
Get the check for a referenced drive right.
If the partition isn't a vinum drive, set the last error to ENODEV.
vinum_scandisk:
Change parameter name from drivename [] to devicename [].
resource. Avoids useless interrupts occurring between the allocation
of the interrupt resource and the final initialisation of the
kernel. Cause of these interrupts is unknown (a resuming device?).
range attributes after they have been extracted from the master.
Hook up the i686 MP code to do this for each AP.
Be more careful about printing the default memory type for the i686.
Suggestions from: luoqi
- Try to unbreak what I broke by screwing with the tx queuing again.
I'm waiting for a few more people to test out this code and report back
before I move it into current. Hopefully it will be soon. Basically I
reverted to the old TX queuing strategy.
- Add experimental support for the 3c900B-FL (10mbps ST fiber). The card
should be detected properly and the 10baseFL mode supported, but again
I'm still waiting for word from a tester to see if this actually works.
It shouldn't affect the other cards though; all the differences are in
media selection.
- Set the TX start threshold register to get better performance.
- Increase the size of the RX and TX rings. UDP performance was pretty
bad because the TX ring was too small. Should be substantially better
now (I can saturate the link with either TCP or UDP now).
- Change some of the #defines to reflect proper 3Com ASIC names (boomerang,
cyclone, krakatoa, hurricane).
- Simplify and reorganize interrupt handler; ack all interrupts right
away and then process them. This avoids a potential race condition.
(Noted by Matt Dillon.)
- Reorganize the bridging code to eliminate using a goto to jump into
the middle of an if() {} clause. Sorry, that just made my brain itch.
- Use m_adj() in xl_rxeof().
- Make the payload alignment in xl_newbuf() the default (instead of
just conditionally defined for the alpha) to improve NFS performance
(avoids need for nfs_realign()).
This patch also moves the bogus comment (the comment is still not quite
right) and (as a side effect) removes some verbose initialisations (we
depend on static initialisation to 0 for almost everything in proc0).
The alpha kernels are bootable again. The change won't affect i386's
until machdep.c is changed.

In heavy-writing situations, QUEUE_LRU can contain a large number
of DELWRI buffers at its head. These buffers must be moved
to the tail if they cannot be written async in order to reduce
the scanning time required to skip past these buffers in later
getnewbuf() calls.

from ever catching up to the transmit consumer index. We can't let this
happen because ti_txeof() depends on the assumption that producer == consumer
means the ring is empty, and producer != consumer means the ring has some
number of active descriptors in it.
This will allow software teletext/intercast/subtitles decoding
while watching a TV station.
Based on code from Hiroki Mori <mori@infocity.co.jp> but reworked by
myself.
Add new #ifdef. By defining BKTR_NO_MSP_RESET you can prevent the
MSP34xx being reset by the bt848 driver. This is handy
if you pre-initialise the MSP34xx stereo audio chip in another
operating system first (eg MS Windows).

PV_TABLE_REF cleared before PV_TABLE_MOD, the page may get fault on read again.
On fault on write, pmap_emulate_reference mark the page dirty with
vm_page_dirty. That decrease ill effects of the bug.
The problem probably become more serious after my rev.1.18 a week ago.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...
