Be carefull about over usage of volatile, it really killed performance
in a few areas and there was a better place to make things volatile in
almost all cases. The driver can now receive at full speed without RNR
errors.
list or something since there are many contributors now but very few on
the order of folks like Bill or Satoshi or Jean-Marc.. This seems unfair.
Suggestions?
"Yes Virginia, there is a rarpd."
(Before anyone asks, this *not* the rarpd from NetBSD. It did come from
the same place as theirs, however.)
This is a port of the rarpd program included with the tcpdump-2.0
source code (which I finally unearthed after scrounging around
some of the darker corners of the Internet). It's as close to the
original as I could keep it except for the following changes:
- The original program was based on an older version of the Berkeley
Packet Filter which used different filter programming instructions.
Fortunately, an updated RARP packet filter is available right in the
BPF man page so this was easy to fix.
- The old code didn't know how to deal with variable length addresses
in ifreq buffers. This has been fixed.
- Some byte order weirdness had to be fixed. The sanity checks in
rarp_check() needed some htons()es, and the rarp_reply() function
needed to properly set the ether_type field in the ethernet header
to ETHERTYPE_REVARP before transmitting the packet, otherwise
the bytes in ether_type would wind up reversed. It is important to note
that using htons(ETHERTYPE_REVARP) will not work. This is odd, because
the NetBSD rarpd uses htons(ETHERTYPE_REVARP). (Praise be to tcpdump:
I would never have been able to track this silliness down without it.)
- The update_arptab() function has been castrated. It depends on
SIOCSARP which has been deprecated in 4.4BSD. The NetBSD people
don't seem to be using this function either. It wouldn't be too
hard to replace this with equivalent code from arp.c, but it
might not be necessary.
- I put together an ether_ntohost() support function that allows
both local (/etc/ethers) and NIS lookups. This stuff should go
in libc at some point, but nothing else seems to need it for now,
so it can wait a while.
As you may have guessed, you need to have the Berkeley Packet Filter in
your kernel in order to use this program. The good news is that together
with the recently added bootparamd, you can use finally use a FreeBSD
box to boot Sun boxes over the network. (This was my whole motivation
for getting this stuff to work: I have this one subnet that has a whole
bunch of Sun3 X-terminals on it with only two Sun4 workstations, both
of which are locked in peoples' offices. If those two machines crash
(and they do every so often) then none of the X-terms will boot. Now I
can use a spare PC that I have as a boot server. :)
New functions create - vm_object_pip_wakeup and pagedaemon_wakeup that
are used to reduce the actual number of wakeups.
New function vm_page_protect which is used in conjuction with some new
page flags to reduce the number of calls to pmap_page_protect.
Minor changes to reduce unnecessary spl nesting.
Rewrote vm_page_alloc() to improve readability.
Various other mostly cosmetic changes.
from the code in strftime.c . This affects both the library code
and all the commands using it (e.g. date +%s).
Note that %s is not required by ANSI, but we've already got it in 1.1.5.1.

thinking that it would work :( The install program never get a destination
directory. Here is another patch that should also be added. I think this
should be the last one for these makefiles :)
[Note: I realize that there are more things wrong than this, but this should
at least get the tree compiling again! -jkh]

than at compile time.
Should have same functionality as old libforms but with new mechanism.
Lots of new features that use the new mechanism are still to be added.
work if you don't have the obj link. Here is a patch for it. It will still
work if you don't have an obj link:)

(a) bring back ttselect, now that we have xxxdevtotty() it isn't dangerous.
(b) remove all of the wrappers that have been replaced by ttselect
(c) fix formatting in syscons.c and definition in syscons.h
(d) add cxdevtotty
NOT DONE:
(e) make pcvt work... it was already broken...when someone fixes pcvt to
link properly, just rename get_pccons to xxxdevtotty and we're done
