tape have been broken for quite a while, and I'll be removing the rest
of sysinstall's knowledge of tapes shortly. I'm doing this piece now
because I want to switch from gnu's cpio to bsdcpio being integrated
into the installation environment and bsdcpio doesn't seem to handle
block sizes at all.
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.

Remove pw_getrand() unneded now: arc4random_uniform() is stronger then
pw_getrand()'s MD5 tricks (inactive) and its active version, mixing
arc4random() bytes in one, not make things better at all.
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.
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.

When I ported most applications away from <sgtty.h>, I noticed none of
them were actually using these definitions. I kept them in place,
because I didn't want to touch tools like pstat(8) and stty(1).
In preparation for the MPSAFE TTY layer, remove these definitions. This
doesn't have any impact with respect to binary compatibility (see
tty_conf.c).
We couldn now add an #error to <sys/ioctl_compat.h> when included
outside the kernel. Unfortunately, kdump's mkioctls includes this file
unconditionally.

In the FreeBSD base system, there are only two utilities that use struct
tty, namely pstat and sicontrol. The sicontrol utility calls the
TCSI_TTY ioctl(), which copies struct tty back to userspace.
sicontrol should not have this functionality. The same data is already
provided by pstat. If we really want to be able to export these numbers
through a file descriptor to userspace, we can export struct xtty, which
should provide a better abstraction. The ttystat option was only used as
a debugging aid.
This makes sicontrol compile in the mpsafetty branch.

When run without this option, multiple runs of `pkg_create -Rb' will
recreate common packages multiple times. This can take a lot of time
for large packages. With the -n option `pkg_create -b' checks with
stat(2) and skips packages that already exist.
Note that this may *not* be safe of the existing output file is not
really a package, or if it has been corrupted, modified or otherwise
tinkered with between subsequent pkg_create runs. For this and POLA
reasons, the default behavior is to *rebuild* the packages, and the -n
option can be used when we know it is `safe' to run in no-regenerate
mode.
