civilized way which doesn't cause grief.
The problem is that it is not generally safe to cast a "struct bio
*" to a "struct buf *". Things like ccd, vinum, ata-raid and GEOM
constructs bio's which are not entrails of a struct buf.
Also, curthread may or may not have anything to do with the I/O request
at hand.
The correct solution can either be to tag struct bio's with a
priority derived from the requesting threads nice and have disksort
act on this field, this wouldn't address the "silly-seek syndrome"
where two equal processes bang the diskheads from one edge to the
other of the disk repeatedly.
Alternatively, and probably better: a sleep should be introduced
either at the time the I/O is requested or at the time it is completed
where we can be sure to sleep in the right thread.
The sleep also needs to be in constant timeunits, 1/hz can be practicaly
any sub-second size, at high HZ the current code practically doesn't
do anything.
check handling. In its current form, it only determines the largest
amount of state information it can get from SAL and allocates a region
7 memory block for it.
The next steps involve:
o get and log any unconsumed (NVM stored) error records across
reboots,
o register an OS_MCA handler and enable machine checks.
the SMP case. While on the subject, remove unnecessary stops. I don't
know if this resolves the memory corruption I'm seeing, but it does
have the potential. We'll see...
both Elf_Rel and Elf_Rela types of relocation, so handle them both
even though we only have Rel_Rela ATM. We don't handle 32-bit and
big-endian variants yet. Support for that is not trivial enough to
implement it without any evidence that we ever need it in the near
future.
For the FPTR relocations, we currently use the fptr_storage used by
_reloc() is locore.s. This is in no way a real solution, but for now
provides the service we need to get the basics going.
A static recursive function lookup_fdesc() is used to find the address
of a function in a way that keeps track of the load module so that
we can get the correct GP value if we need to construct an OPD (ie
there's no OPD yet for the function.
For simplicity, we create an OPD for the IPLT relocations as well and
simply fill the user provided function descriptor from the OPD. Since
the the official descriptors are unique, this has no bad side effects.
Note that we ignore the addend for FPTR relocations, but use the
addend for IPLT relocations as an offset to the function address.
This commit allows us to load and relocate modules and modules appear
to work correctly, although we probably need to make sure that we set
GP correctly in all cases when we have inter-module calls. This
especially applies to assembly coded functions that have cross module
calls.
the DT_PLTGOT value. On ia64 this is the value of GP. We need this
to construct function descriptors, but the elf file structure is
not exported to MD code.
Note that the name of the function is based on the meaning that
DT_PLTGOT has on ia64. This may differ on other architectures. As
such, link_elf_get_gp() has a high level of MD to it. Renaming the
function to describe what DT_* value is returned makes it generic,
but also makes the MD code less clear and if we only need this on
ia64, then a general name for a specific function doesn't help.
In short: I don't know what is "right" at this time, so I'll go
with what I have.
alternative MTAs. Therefore, always install rc.sendmail, regardless of
NO_SENDMAIL make.conf setting. Users can still set mta_start_script to a
different script.
This commit is after a repo-copy of src/etc/sendmail/rc.sendmail to
src/etc/rc.sendmail.
