First, update the return types of aio_return() and aio_waitcomplete() to ssize_t. POSIX requires aio_return() to return a ssize_t so that it can represent all return values from read() and write(). aio_waitcomplete() should use ssize_t for the same reason. aio_return() has used ssize_t in <aio.h> since r31620 but the manpage and system call entry were not updated. aio_waitcomplete() has always returned int. Note that this does not require new system call stubs as this is effectively only an API change in how the compiler interprets the return value. Second, allow aio_nbytes values up to IOSIZE_MAX instead of just INT_MAX. aio_read/write should now honor the same length limits as normal read/write. Third, use longs instead of ints in the aio_return() and aio_waitcomplete() system call functions so that the 64-bit size_t in the in-kernel aiocb isn't truncated to 32-bits before being copied out to userland or being returned. Finally, a simple test has been added to verify the bounds checking on the maximum read size from a file.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
