We encountered an interesting situation where the superblock for
a file system got written to disk with the "fs_fmod" flag set to
one. It appears that this flag is normally supposed to be cleared
during ffs_sync(), but we experienced a crash, or some other weird
occurrence that left it on the disk set to 1.
Later this partition was mounted read-only... and the fs_fmod
field was never cleared, causing ffs_sync() to panic "rofs mod"
when trying to unmount that filesystem (ffs_vfsops.c: line 790).
fix:
set this bit to 0 when you load the superblock from disk.
(see more complete mail on this to hackers)
bridges with support for 64 bit memory addresses and 32 bit I/O addresses).
The code is not complete. It ignores the upper half of the long addresses.
This is not a problem on PC compatible systems, but has to be fixed for
real computers.
one too small for (hex) 12345678 and 4 too small for -1234567890. Large
values can be created by config and userconfig although not (previously)
by visual userconfig.
Fixed a sign extension bug for backspacing on "negative" hex values in
editval().
Increased field width and range for `flags' so that all possible values
can be displayed and edited.
This patch causes too many side effects, one of which bites hard is
when interrupting a 'make fetch' in the ports tree (PR#1990).
This whole area is a real can of worms....
This most definately should go into 2.2

link to another file which has a long (>=100 char) name. When listing such
an archive, the name of the link is truncated to 99 characters, and when
extracting such an archive, an error is reported because it is trying to
create a hard link to a file which doesn't exist. This patch fixes that
problem and has also been sent to the GNU maintainers.

2. Fixed code to match comment in scintr().
3. Don't allow even root to take control of the machine when securelevel > 0.
I've secured the accesses to PSL_IOPL in all drivers and asked pst to
review it, but he seems to be busy. Write access to /dev/kmem and
other critival devices currently leaks across raisings of securelevel
via open fd's, so there may as well be a similar leak for PSL_IOPL.
4. (Most important.) Don't corrupt memory beyond the screen buffers if
the cursor happens to be off the 80x25 screen when syscons starts.
5. Fix console cursor update (not perfect yet).

UserConfig. (Also document other syscons flags which were previously
undocumented).

negative-logic flags (flags 0x01 and 0x02 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
This changes the default from off to on. The options have been in current
for several months with no problems reported.
Added a boot-time negative-logic flag for the old I5886_FAST_BCOPY option
which went away too soon (flag 0x04 for npx0, defaulting to unset = on).
Added a boot-time way to set the memory size (iosiz in config, iosize in
userconfig for npx0).
LINT:
Removed old options. Documented npx0's flags and iosiz.
options.i386:
Removed old options.
identcpu.c:
Don't set the function pointers here. Setting them has to be delayed
until after userconfig has had a chance to disable them and until after
a good npx0 has been detected.
machdep.c:
Use npx0's iosize instead of MAXMEM if it is nonzero.
support.s:
Added vectors and glue code for copyin() and copyout().
Fixed ifdefs for i586_bzero().
Added ifdefs for i586_bcopy().
npx.c:
Set the function pointers here.
Clear hw_float when an npx exists but is too broken to use.
Restored style from a year or three ago in npxattach().
2.2 are more obvious. -Winline is unimportant, but -W gives thousands
of warnings for comparisions. Turning off -W also loses warnings for:
- auto variables clobbered by longjmp. Not much of a problem in the kernel.
- functions returning without a value. I don't like losing this.
- an expression statement or the left side of a comma operand contains no
side effects. Turning this off also stops warnings for the low quality
debugging macros in gsc.c and lpt.c.
Should be in 2.2.

most documentation says that it doesn't change %edi in the cases that
happened to matter (for hard disks).
This shall be in 2.1.6 and 2.2.
