1) cut this up into /sys/sys/inflate.h, sys/kern/inflate.c
sys/kern/ingact_gzip.c
2) make a lot more things static
3) make a lot of globals const
4) make some args const
5) first stage of making globals into a struct (not used yet)
The vm_allocate() call which was introduced between revisions 1.4 and
1.5 of imagact_gzip.c broke things. I have backed that out for the time
being. (Davidg: help please)
WARNING: if you have gzip enabled in your kernel, you must now run
config again, as another source file has been added. Otherwise your
kernel compile will fall over.
This is all still WIP. More commits to come.

I have been running a kernel with this change since October 4th; barring
unrelated network router troubles, the pitiful little machine has
completed several builds without any interaction from me, and continues
to chug along.
I re-read wd.c, and added appropriate printfs() to look for references
to dk_badsect[]. My changes should have printed something when dk_badsect[]
was referenced.
I got no output :-(
Thus, I'm forced to concluded that something else is examining some
spurious memory... which happened to be in dk_badsect[] of the disk structure
in wd.c. I can find no other explanation of why this unnecessary
initialization causes things to operate correctly.
On the premise that such an initialization isn't going to hurt anything,
I'm going to suggest it go into 2.0.
I'd like to thank everyone for there assistance, particularly David,
John and Bruce.
more weird kinds of a.out than anyone can argue for. This code failed to
load the first 28K of the text-segment, in the case where the first page
of the a.out contains only the a.out-header, and the text is still at 0x0.
Thanks Steven !
been relocated to run in the 64k segment at 0x10000 with the stack at
the top of this segment. This corrects the problems machines with 512K
base memory had booting.
2. startprog routing rewritten to convert the BOOTSEG ss to a KERNELSEG
ss, this eliminated the last of the >512K memory references. Additional
cleanup in here included a better way to copy the arguments to the
kernel stack.
3. Elimination of argv and esym cruft saved a few bytes.
4. Only need to truncate the head.a_entry to a meg boundary once intead
of every time we used it! [Saving more bytes].
5. Addition of version 1 bootinfo structure support. These boot blocks
pass the kernel name in to the kernel now.
6. Removed historical comments about MACH argv stuff, as it is useless now.
that and when it does it will be done differently.
2. The kernel now does a frame setup on entry so it ``looks'' like a
real function call. This will be needed by future boot code and
debuggers.
3. Clean up stack offsets to all be in decimal and use %ebp when copying
parameters in from the boot code.
4. Implement version 1 of the uniform boot code passing mechanism with
support for kernelname passing and nfs_diskless structure passing.
5. Document the 3 different ways the kernel is called depending on what code
is calling it.
- Allow PPP to run multicasts natively.
- Deal properly with lots of similarly-named interfaces.
- Don't sign-extend if_flags.
NB: the last fix (to rtsock.c) must be reversed when we expand if_flags to a
reasonable size.

cleaned up much of the cruft in this thing.
No printf's in the case where things go well.
Gzip-headers can contain filenames and comments (as long as they're
shorter than the page-size.)
I don't think we leak memory, in the "exec/aout" code. I'm not quite sure
about the inflate code yet, but I don't think memory is lost.
Q: Can I add a class M_GZIP to <sys/malloc.h> and bump M_LAST one up
without any thing else needing tweaking ?

to go unnoticed during certain extreme low memory/high paging rate conditions.

It is a non-gpl'ed "unzip" which will allow execution of a.out files which
have been sent through "gzip -9". The idea being saved disk-space.
Just now this code has quality rating: "working prototype".
To compress a file to be used with this, do it exactly this way:
gzip -9 -v < /bin/FOO > /tmp/FOO
remember to chmod /tmp/FOO as needed.
DON'T compress all of you binaries right away ! There are several things
which you should consider first:
1. Using compressed binaries, you use >MUCH< more VM, and thus swap-space.
2. It is slow.
3. It might crash your machine.
Apart from that, I welcome comments...
NB: There is also a change to sys/conf/files, but cvs core-dumped on me,
so it didn't get into the logs or emailed, but the commit seems to have

New AMD family ethernet driver. Should support BICC,NE2100, TNIC,
AT1500 and anything else that uses a Lance/PCnet type chip. Only been
tested with the BICC so far though.
Still work to do on performance and MULTICAST support needs to be added
but it's basically working and I want the revision history from this
point on
