file to a stream socket. sendfile(2) is similar to implementations in
HP-UX, Linux, and other systems, but the API is more extensive and
addresses many of the complaints that the Apache Group and others have
had with those other implementations. Thanks to Marc Slemko of the
Apache Group for helping me work out the best API for this.
Anyway, this has the "net" result of speeding up sends of files over
TCP/IP sockets by about 10X (that is to say, uses 1/10th of the CPU
cycles) when compared to a traditional read/write loop.
Interrupt handlers are now configured in drivers.
Didn't update config/SMM.doc. It doesn't have any i386 examples (not
even `isa').
Bumped CONFIGVERS. This is not necessary for -current yet, but using
the new config with old system sources gives null pointers for all
vectors.
{ port_name = "IO_TIMER", port_number = 1 } and only worked because
it was reassembled to "IO_TIMER1". Trailing digits always work, but
this is too magic to depend on.
Don't quote port names that don't have a digit in them.
RealTek 8129/8139 chipset like I've been threatening. Update kernel

I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.

can lengthen the timeouts if their hardware is especially slow, or shorten
them if they want to be notified of errors a little sooner.
Also, get rid of two OD driver options. The od driver has been made

the in-kernel linker to access the _DYNAMIC data for doing loadable elf
modules. The alpha kernel is already done this way, I've borrowed some of
the hacks from there.
This is primarily aimed at the 3-stage boot process which is intended to
be able to do pre-loading of kernel modules.
Note that the entry point isn't 0xf0100000 any more, it'll be a little
further on - but this value is stored in the headers. I don't think this
will be a problem, but I'm sure somebody will tell me if it is. :-)
I'm not sure if btxboot is going to like this, it doesn't do proper ELF
header checking and assumes that there are exactly two program header
entries and that they are both PT_LOAD entries - a bad assumption.
The last consumer of this code (the old SCSI system) has left us and
the CAM code does it's own bouncing. The isa dma system has been
doing it's own bouncing for a while too.

on opt_global.h. This actually matters for genassym.o (it depends
on at least SMP).
Don't undefine KERNEL for compiling genassym.c. genassym.o really
depends on KERNEL, and the prototype mismatches that required
undefining KERNEL in rev.1.49 no longer exist.
Compile gensetdefs* with the same flags as genassym*. External
`gen' programs such linux_genassym should also use these flags
(${GEN_CFLAGS}).
Fixed missing dependency generation for gensetdefs.o. C sources
for external `gen' programs should be added to GEN_CFILES to get
their dependencies generated.
Cleaned up flags definitions and use. All of ${CFLAGS} is now
passed to mkdep and the assembler (both are actually variants of
${CC} and will ignore the irrelevant flags).
annoying #!CAM# indicators are used to be clear, in the expectation
that the places they show will be either fixed or diked out reasonably

The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.
vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.

HARP | Host ATM Research Platform
===================================
HARP 3
What is this stuff?
-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP
software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides
functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device
driver software.
HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to
experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is
self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server
o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols
o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol
What's supported

The following are supported by HARP 3:
o ATM Host Interfaces
- FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters
- FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters
- Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters
o ATM Signalling Protocols
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.1 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum ILMI address registration
- FORE Systems's proprietary SPANS signalling protocol

- RFC 1577, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 1626, "Default IP MTU for use over ATM AAL5"

What's not supported
--------------------
The following major features of the above list are not currently supported:
o UNI point-to-multipoint support
o Driver support for Traffic Control/Quality of Service
o SPANS multicast and MPP support
o SPANS signalling using Efficient adapters
This software was developed under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced
