- Use the ISA PnP enumerator.
- Use the new linker set code, throw out the gensetdefs stuff.
- Produce an intermediate loader image that has symbols stripped, to aid
- in debugging.
- Supply ISA port access functions required for ISA PnP
can fit into my test machine.
- Move to using STAILQs rather than ad-hoc singly-linked lists.
- Use a mostly procedural interface to the PnP information. This
improves data-hiding.
Implement a new linker-set technique (currently on i386 only but should work
on Alpha as well). This is a good candidate for replacing the current
gensetdefs cruft completely.
config_drive:
Catch an instance of anonymous drives. Doubtless many remain.
interrupt.c:
complete_rqe:
Call logrq to log iodone events if DEBUG_LASTREQS is set.
Call set_sd_state with setstate_noupdate to avoid buffered I/O out
of interrupt context.
Use define DEBUG_RESID instead of constant.
memory.c:
Remove dead expandrq() function
Malloc:
Remove directory component of file names in malloc table.
Add function vinum_rqinfo (part of the request tracing stuff).
request.c:
Add function logrq (part of the request tracing stuff).
vinumstrategy:
Check whether config needs to be written to disk, do it if so.
This is a stopgap until the Vinum daemon (bacchusd? oenologistd?)
is written.
If DEBUG_LASTREQS is set, call logrq to log user buffer headers.
launch_requests:
Correct format of debug output to console.
If DEBUG_LASTREQS is set, call logrq to log request elements.
request.h:
Add definitions for request trace.
state.c:
set_sd_state:
Check flags for setstate_noupdate. If set, don't write the config
to disk, just set global VF_DIRTYCONFIG flag. This is part of the
kludge to avoid writing config from an interrupt context.
vinumext.h:
Add declaration for vinum_rqinfo, put inside #ifdef DEBUG
Remove dead macro expandrq
vinumio.h:
Increase maximum ioctl reply length to 4 kB if DEBUG is set.
Define VINUM_RQINFO ioctl if DEBUG is set.
vinumioctl.c:
vinumioctl:
Change implementation of VINUM_DEBUG ioctl: use a debug flag
(DEBUG_REMOTEGDB) to decide whether to go into remote debugging or
not.
Implement VINUM_RQINFO.
vinumkw.h:
Define kw_info even when not debugging.
vinumvar.h:
Define VF_DIRTYCONFIG
Add pointers to request info to vinum_info if DEBUG is set.
Define setstate_noupdate
Define additional debug bits DEBUG_RESID, DEBUG_LASTREQS and
DEBUG_REMOTEGDB.
agressive. With the old code, if a descriptor chain was already on its
way to the chip, xl_start() would try to splice new chains onto the end
of the current chain by stopping the transmitter, modifying the tail
pointer of the current chain to point to the head of the new chain, then
restart the transmitter. The manual says you're allowed to do this and
it works, but I'm not too keen on it anymore.
The new code waits until the eixsting chain has been sent and then
queues the next waiting chain in the 'transmit ok' handler.
Performance still looks good one way or the other.
RealTek 8129/8139 chipset like I've been threatening. Update kernel
configs, userconfig.c, relnotes and sysinstall. No man page yet;
comming soon.
I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.
- Use the system headers method for Elf32/Elf64 symbol compatability
- get rid of the UPRINTF debugging.
- check the ELF header for compatability much more completely
- optimize the section mapper. Use the same direct VM interfaces that
imgact_aout.c and kern_exec.c use.
- Check the return codes from the vm_* functions better. Some return
KERN_* results, not an errno.
- prefault the page tables to reduce startup faults on page tables like
a.out does.
- reset the segment protection to zero for each loop, otherwise each
segment could get progressively more privs. (eg: if the first was
read/write/execute, and the second was meant to be read/execute, the
bug would make the second r/w/x too. In practice this was not a
problem because executables are normally laid out with text first.)
- Don't impose arbitary limits. Use the limits on headers imposed by
the need to fit them into one page.
- Remove unused switch() cases now that the verbose debugging is gone.
I've been using an earlier version of this for a month or so.
This sped up ELF exec speed a bit for me but I found it hard to get
consistant benchmarks when I tested it last (a few weeks ago).
I'm still bothered by the page read out of order caused by the
transition from data to bss. This which requires either part filling the
transition page or clearing the remainder.
Move the initialization before isa_configure() and npx, in case npx does
something to initialize the state of the emulator somehow.
I do not have any machines without a FPU so that I can test this with -
except an old 386sx motherboard in a box somewhere that might work...
Supply the moduledata handle rather than the event dispatcher function.
This should explain the panic on boot problem that's been discussed in
-current at the moment. Both machines had GNU_MATH_EMULATE.
the boot.config settings are persistent, this seems to provide a
useful override capability, and should break only on broken
boot.config's.
Output a cosmetic newline if booting with no input.
a raw partition at a nonzero offset (EINVAL should have been EXDEV;
DIOCSDINFO was broken, and DIOCWDINFO was broken because it depended
on DIOCSDINFO).
A zero offset for the raw partition should probably be enforced in
setdisklabel(), and DIOCWDINFO should probably always be handled by
first calling setdisklabel() so that writedisklabel() doesn't need to
enforce it, but this has never been done; dsioctl() has a special
check. Changes in this commit are limited to dsioctl() to preserve
bug for bug compatibility in drivers that don't use the slice code
(notably the ccd driver, which allows setting a bogus label in
DIOCWDINFO and doesn't undo the setting when writedisklabel() fails).
Read boot.help before parsing boot.config. We were parsing
boot.config first, which could result in boot.help being read
from a different location (or not found), which would probably
just cause surprise, without being useful.
partition that the label ioctl is being done on just because it has
offset 0, since there is no guarantee that such a partition is large
enough to contain the label. Don't use the wrong raw partition (0
instead of RAW_PART).
This fixes problems rewriting bizarre labels (with a nonzero offset
for the 'a' partition) in newfs(8). Such labels shouldn't normally
be used, but creating them was allowed if the ioctl was done on the
raw partition, and sysinstall creates them if the root partition isn't
allocated first.
Note that allowing write access to a partition other than the one that
has been checked for write access doesn't increase security holes
significantly, since write access to any partition already allows
changing the in-core label.
This fix should be in 3.0R. Rev.1.26 of newfs/newfs.c shouldn't be
in 3.0R.
This is the bulk of the support for doing kld modules. Two linker_sets
were replaced by SYSINIT()'s. VFS's and exec handlers are self registered.
kld is now a superset of lkm. I have converted most of them, they will
follow as a seperate commit as samples.
This all still works as a static a.out kernel using LKM's.
