possible end-user errors.
Now:
1) on physical 1.2 can open logical 1.2, 720, 360H
2) on physical 1.44 can open logical 1.44, 720
3) on physical 360 can open logical 360
All other variants refused.
C-style improved in this check, multiply if's changed to switch.
More work to add 720K floppy support.
Restore good old dependance of device and floppy type.
Now:
fd?a == 1.44
fd?b == 1.2
fd?c == 720
fd?d == 360 in HD
fd?e == 360
Add more strict size check in Fdopen, not it refuse:
1) Attempt to open any type expect fd?e, if you have only 360K drive.
2) Attempt to open fd?a if you have only 1.2 drive.
patch file had absolute pathnames in it and went and patched /usr/src directly
(first time this has happened, I'll watch for it now), so I thought I might
as well just commit it and clean up the .orig files and whatnot left behind.
Sorry - this is the first time this has happened to me. Very confusing.
These files aren't really necessary to us, but should be kept in sync anyway.

John Dyson to make it reliably work under FreeBSD.
2) Added and enabled PROCFS in the GENERICxx and LINT kernels.
3) New execve() from me. Still work to be done here, but this version
works well and is needed before other changes can be made. For
a description of the design behind this, see freebsd-arch or
ask me.
4) Rewrote stack fault code; made user stack VM grow as needed rather
than all up front; improves performance a little and reduces
process memory requirements.
5) Incorporated fix from Gene Stark to fault/wire a user page table
page to fix a problem in copyout. This is a temporary fix and
is not appropriate for pageable page tables. For a description
of the problem, see Gene's post to the freebsd-hackers mailing
list.
6) Tighten up vm_page struct to reduce memory requirements for it. ifdef
pager page lock code as it's not being used currently.
7) Introduced new element to vmspace struct - vm_minsaddr; initial
(minimum) stack address. Compliment to vm_maxsaddr.
8) Added a panic if the allocation for process u-pages fails.
9) Improve performance and accuracy of kernel profiling by putting in
a little inline assembly instead of spl().
10) Made serial console with sio driver work. Still has problems with
serial input, but is almost useable.
11) Added -Bstatic to SYSTEM_LD in Makefile.i386 so that kernels will
build properly with the new ld.

2) Force CLOCAL=on for outgoing ports and CLOCAL=off for
incoming ports into open in bidirectional case.
3) Add DELAY after writing to com_ier for fifo drain into probe.
The following patch adds the addr argument to signal handlers.
The kernel with the patch is no more and no less in compliance or in
violation of POSIX and ANSI C than the kernel before the patch.
The added functionality this addr argument provides is quite useful. It
enables an entire class of algorithms which use mprotect to trace memory
references. Beside garbage collectors, I have heard of this technique being
applied to debuggers and profilers. The only benchmarking I've performed is
using akcl to compile maxima: without the kernel patch, it takes 7 hours to
compile maxima, while with stratified garbage collection, it only takes 50
minutes.
Basically, I can't think of a reason not to add the addr argument and there
is a compelling need for it.
If you find the patch acceptable, please let me know so I can send my
FreeBSD akcl config files to wfs for inclusion in the core akcl release.
The old 386BSD config files there won't work on either NetBSD or FreeBSD.

Changes between EPSILON and RELEASE of FreeBSD have again caused
the kernel to not see my floppy disk drives. I don't know what happened,
'cause I don't see any changes to fd.c, but here is an old fix that
I have applied to the probe routine which will solve the problem (at
least for me). Since this is a rather brute-force solution - I understand
if you want to ignore it...
[Upgrading to pre-Beta FreeBSD caused this on my system. -AM]
You write that
LDFLAGS+= -Xlinker -Bstatic
no more needed, but you have
CFLAGS += -static -I$(.CURDIR) -I$(.CURDIR)/$(MACHINE)
This -static doesn't make any sense in your version,
because it not passed to linker's state (LDFLAGS),
so we have SHARED /usr/bin/ld in this case.
(Older Makefile produce non-shared ld).
I suppose, that -static in CFLAGS was introduced to
make non-shared ld, so I restore previous LDFLAGS
to have non-shared ld. If we want to have shared ld
we need to remove -static from CFLAGS too, not only LDFLAGS,
but this need special issue and corresponding
commit log. Your current version hang into intermediate
state (beetween two sides), so I move it to one side.
Second, I restore NOPIC dependance again from older Makefile:
.if !defined(NOPIC)
SUBDIR+= rtld
.endif
We don't need ld.so, if NOPIC
P.S. I don't see any purpose to commit new makefile, old version
is better.
Subject: Bug & Fix for etc/Makefile cpio-floppy: re /tmp creation.
Date: Fri, 26 Nov 1993 11:35:04 +0100
Editors Note: tmp was listed in the CPIO_FILES section and thus the
entire contents of ${DESTDIR}/tmp would end up on the cpio floppy. This fix
moves tmp to CPIO_DIRS so that no longer happens.
