maintainers.
After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.
*
* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries
* using our old method. This is so people can still use kernel.old
* with a new world. This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE,
* and may not last anywhere upto the actual release. My expiration
* time for this is about 6mo.

of 4 longs used as a bitmask. sv4r4_sigfillset has been broken for a
while, probably since rev 1.5.
This patch fixes SVR4_NSIG (i.e.: sets it to the actual number of signals,
instead of the number of bits in the mask) because some SysVR4 clients
honestly seem to care about whether bits in the signal mask are set for
non-existant signals.
Additionally, the svr4_sigfillset macro has been replaced by a
fully fledged function, because the macro didn't actually work
(it returned an all-ones mask, but we don't want that: we want 0's
set where FreeBSD doesn't actually have a signal which is the same
as an SysVR4 signal, for example).
SysVR4 clients can now successfully ignore signals, although catching
them remains problematic (see commit log message for rev1.13 of
sys/i386/svr4/svr4_machdep.c for more info).
included in all C files if it makes sense (i.e., for compiling kernels
but not for compiling modules), so including it explicitly just
complicates module makefiles.

differences between the VFS interface between FreeBSD and NetBSD make
it easier to pick up the Linux one than to continue development with the
NetBSD port.
This patch fixes a bug which caused duplicate filenames to be seen by
callers to svr4_sys_getdents64(), leading to malformed directory listings
from Solaris client programs.
Obtained from: The Linuxulator, with a pointer from marcel
opt_global.h and opt_svr4.h, instead of from the command line. This
brings them in-line with most of the rest of the kernel.
svr4_ioctl.c has also failed to compile with debugging for a while
now; fixed by adding systm.h and socketvar.
Some svr4 source files are automatically generated from syscalls.master;
these have been committed as consequential changes, otherwise everyone
will have to "make svr4_sysent.c".
Changes:
sys/svr4/svr4.h include opt_global.h and opt_svr4.h
sys/svr4/svr4_ioctl.c include svr4.h, sys/systm.h and sys/socketvar.h
sys/svr4/svr4_ipc.c include svr4.h
sys/svr4/svr4_resource.c include svr4.h
sys/svr4/svr4_socket.c include svr4.h
sys/svr4/svr4_ttold.c include svr4.h
sys/svr4/syscalls.master include svr4.h
sys/svr4/svr4_syscallnames.c dependent on syscalls.master
sys/svr4/svr4_sysent.c dependent on syscalls.master
sys/svr4/svr4_syscall.h dependent on syscalls.master
sys/svr4/svr4_proto.h dependent on syscalls.master
sys/modules/svr4/Makefile create opt_global.h and opt_svr4.h
Other modules can register and unregister ioctl handlers to extend the
ioctls known by the Linuxulator. A recent application is the vmware
port. The Linuxulator itself uses the new interface to register its
handlers as well. Handlers for the following types of ioctls have been
defined:
cdrom
console (=keyboard and VT handling)
socket
sound
termio
All ioctl related defines and declarations have been moved to a new
file (linux_ioctl.h), except for the pluggable ioctl handler interface
definition.
While there, cleanup linux.h some more.
linux.h and linux_ioctl.[ch] have been made to conform to style(9) as
much as possible.

with NetBSD and the Single Unix Specification v2.
This updates some structures with other, almost equivalent types and
effort is under way to get the whole more consistent.
Also removes a double definition of INET6 and some other clean-ups.

Merge the contents (less some trivial bordering the silly comments)
of <vm/vm_prot.h> and <vm/vm_inherit.h> into <vm/vm.h>. This puts
the #defines for the vm_inherit_t and vm_prot_t types next to their
typedefs.
This paves the road for the commit to follow shortly: change
useracc() to use VM_PROT_{READ|WRITE} rather than B_{READ|WRITE}
as argument.
glibc2 defines struct dirent differently than the Linux kernel does.
The getdents function therefore needs to read a heuristically defined
number of kernel dirents to satisfy the request. In case where too
many kernel dirents have been read, the function lseeks on the
directory so that a next call will start with the right dirent. The
offset used in lseeking is the offset-field in the last dirent passed
to the application. This can only mean that the offset-field holds
the offset of the next dirent and not the offset of the dirent itself.
phk's script walked through .c and .h files, but some of the ones on
the list are actually derived from sys/svr4/syscalls.master. Make
the necessary changes here and the others will implicitly follow...

Fix broken sigsuspend(): don't use p_oldsigmask as a flag, use SAS_OLDMASK
as we did before the linuxthreads support merge (submitted by bde).
Move ps_sigstk from to p_sigacts to the main proc structure since signal
stack should not be shared among threads.
Move SAS_OLDMASK and SAS_ALTSTACK flags from sigacts::ps_flags to proc::p_flag.
Move PS_NOCLDSTOP and PS_NOCLDWAIT flags from proc::p_flag to procsig::ps_flag.
