The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

Now we have a single /dev/snp device node, which can be opened by
watch(8) multiple times. Even though snp(4) will be dead as of next
week, it's nice having this in SVN, because:
- We may want to MFC it to RELENG_7.
- By the time we fix snp(4) again, it's already there, existing watch(8)
binaries should already work.
Just like bpf(4), I'm adding a symlink from snp0 to snp to remain binary
compatible.
bpf(4) now uses cdevpriv to distinguish multiple file descriptors, where
it used to be implemented using device cloning. Ports like libpcap
properly detect the change in their configure scripts, but it doesn't
hurt to increase __FreeBSD_version.
While there, change the bpf(4) manual page to refer to /dev/bpf instead
of /dev/bpfN.

features of CPUs like reading/writing machine-specific registers,
retrieving cpuid data, and updating microcode.
- Add cpucontrol(8) utility, that provides userland access to
the features of cpuctl(4).
- Add subsequent manpages.
The cpuctl(4) device operates as follows. The pseudo-device node cpuctlX
is created for each cpu present in the systems. The pseudo-device minor
number corresponds to the cpu number in the system. The cpuctl(4) pseudo-
device allows a number of ioctl to be preformed, namely RDMSR/WRMSR/CPUID
and UPDATE. The first pair alows the caller to read/write machine-specific
registers from the correspondent CPU. cpuid data could be retrieved using
the CPUID call, and microcode updates are applied via UPDATE.
The permissions are inforced based on the pseudo-device file permissions.
RDMSR/CPUID will be allowed when the caller has read access to the device
node, while WRMSR/UPDATE will be granted only when the node is opened
for writing. There're also a number of priv(9) checks.
The cpucontrol(8) utility is intened to provide userland access to
the cpuctl(4) device features. The utility also allows one to apply
cpu microcode updates.
Currently only Intel and AMD cpus are supported and were tested.

msleep/mtx_sleep or the various cv_*wait*() routines. Currently, the
"unlock" behavior of PDROP and cv_wait_unlock() with Giant is not
permitted as it is will be confusing since Giant is fully unrecursed and
unlocked during a thread sleep.
This is handy for subsystems which wish to allow unlocked drivers to
continue to use Giant such as CAM, the new TTY layer, and the new USB
stack. CAM currently uses a hack that I told Scott to use because I
really didn't want to permit this behavior, and the TTY and USB patches
both have various patches to permit this.

describes the minimum versions of each feature and each chipset type
supported by this driver. Basically, unless you have a very modern
version of firmware on a Prism card, you won't be able to use these
cards for much on modern networks that have any kind of protection
enabled, except for the few WEP-only stranglers that appear at some
conferences...
The segfaults when using SSP seem to be a gcc bug, a patch is available
in the gcc bugzilla, and will be imported once it's committed
into the official gcc tree.
MPSAFE patches on current@ and stable@. This driver also has a fundamental
issue in that it sleeps when sending commands to the card including in the
if_init/if_start routines (which can be called from interrupt context). As
such, the driver shouldn't be working reliably even on 4.x.

that is quite slow in comparison to say, wi(4). I know Warner wants this

current@ and stable@ for the locking patches. The driver can always be

This driver also sleeps in its if_init routine, so it likely doesn't really

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

Even though single linked lists allow items to be removed at constant time

Implement new REMOVE_NEXT() macro's. Because the REMOVE() macro's also
contain the same code, make it call REMOVE_NEXT().
The OpenBSD version of SLIST_REMOVE_NEXT() needs a reference to the list
head, even though it is unused. We'd better mimic this. The STAILQ version
also needs a reference to the list. This means the prototypes of both

system makefiles.
Note that the CTF conversion defaults to off. We may choose to change this
default later if DTrace proves popular and people are prepared to wear
the compilation performance impact of compiling with debug symbols all the
time.
Setting NO_CTF in the make args or user environment turns off CTF conversion.
Even if we choose to default CTF generation to on later, we still need
NO_CTF so that the buildworld process can bootstrap the tools without
needlessly generating CTF data for temporary tools.
Setting WITH_CTF in the make args or user environment (and _NOT_ in
/etc/make.conf) is the only way to enable CTF data conversion. Nore that
this can't be implemented the same way that the WITH_ and WITHOUT_ stuff
is implemented throughout the buildworld because the CTF conversion needs
to work when building a simple object without a Makefile, using the
default rules in sys.mk.
Typing 'make test.o' with no makefile and just a source file test.c
should work. Also, typing 'make WITH_CTF=1 test.o without a makefile and
just a source file test.c should work and produce an object with a CTF
elf section. Typing 'make WITH_CTF=1 CFLAGS=-g test.o' without a makefile
and just a source file test.c should produce an object with both a CTF
elf section and the debug elf sections.
In the FreeBSD build where more .mk files are used than just sys.mk
which is included my make by default, the use of DEBUG_FLAGS is the
correct way to enable a debug build. The important thing to note here
is that it is the DEBUG_FLAGS setting that prevents libraries and
programs from being stripped on installation. So, for the addition of
CTF data conversion, setting DEBUG_FLAGS to contain -g, without NO_CTF,
will cause the ctfconvert and ctfmerge build programs to be executed
also with the -g arg so that debug symbols are retained rather than
being removed after the CTF data elf section has been added.
Add DTrace libraries to the list of libnames.
