are about to go in. This is to fix the problem with the ibcs2 and linux
lkm's not being able to call the sysv ipc functions unless the build is
modified.
the range [210:260] by sweeping the problem under the rug. This change
has the following effects:
1) A new MIB variable in the kern branch is defined to allow modification
of the socket buffer layer's ``wastage factor'' (which determines how
much unused-but-allocated space in mbufs and mbuf clusters is allowed
in a socket buffer).
2) The default value of the wastage factor is changed from 2 to 8.
The original value was chosen when MINCLSIZE was 7*MLEN (!), and is not
appropriate for an environment where MINCLSIZE is much less.
The real solution to this problem is to scrap both mbufs and sockbufs
and completely redesign the buffering mechanism used at both levels.
sysctl handler (ouch!)
Add a "const" qualifier to the source of the copyin() and copyout()
functions - the other const warning in kern_sysctl.c was silenced when
copyout was declared as having a const source.. (which it is)
just like on SVR4.
This has no effect on any current programs in our source, but makes
the use of SVR4 code a little easier. There is no code or implementation
cost in the kernel.. This two-line change merely sets the modes on the ends
of the pipes to be bidirectional. There are no other changes.
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches. The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.
gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes. Does anyone
disagree?
gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header. This
hack will do until then. (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)
config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.
kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'. `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.
int shmget(key_t key, int size, int shmflg);
If the 'key' has already existed in the system and set 'shmflg'
as '(IPC_CREAT|IPC_EXC)', then shmget() must return the error 'EEXIST'.

See the comments for addupc_intr() and the NetBSD implementation.
We use dummy versions of fuswintr() and susiwintr(), so addupc_intr()
always pushes the work to trap() (this is inefficient), and trap()
calls the special i386 function addupc() instead of addupc_task().
addupc() is more efficient than addupc_intr(), so some of the lost
efficiency is recovered. However, addupc() may be broken on plain
i386's since it doesn't check for write permission like copyout().

overflows.
It sure would be nice if there was an unmapped page between the PCB and
the stack (and that the size of the stack was configurable!). With the
way things are now, the PCB will get clobbered before the double fault
handler gets control, making somewhat of a mess of things. Despite this,
it is still fairly easy to poke around in the overflowed stack to figure
out the cause.
Unstaticize a function in scsi/scsi_base that was used, with an undocumented

My last count on the LINT kernel shows:

Approaching the pain threshold now.
*' instead of caddr_t and it isn't optional (it never was). Most of the
netipx (and netns) pr_ctlinput functions abuse the second arg instead of
using the third arg but fixing this is beyond the scope of this round
of changes.
(TTMAXHIWAT + OBUFSIZ + 100) in case someone changes OBUFSIZ. 200
was to allow 100 above high water for ordinary writes and another
100 for kernel printfs.
Increased the reserved output queue count from 512 to the maximum
output queue count. This prevents exhaustion of clists and increases
the output throughput for 8 cy lines by almost a factor of 2 (on
a system where there aren't many other open ttys so clists become
exhausted after about 4 active lines (or earlier if TTMAXHIWAT is
increased :-]).
ttwrite() behaves very badly when clists are exhausted:
(1) it sleeps on lbolt instead of on TSA_OLOWAT(tp).
This could be fixed adequately by sleeping on TSA_OLOWAT(tp).
The nonzero reserved count guaratees that space will become
available independent of other ttys, and a reserved count
of 512 is barely enough for efficiency.
(2) it drops output if space runs out in the middle of special
output processing. This is too hard to fix without hardening
the reserved count. The watermark processing guarantees that
space doesn't run out only if the advertised space is guaranteed.
Increasing the reserved output queue count defeats the point of
dynamic allocation of clists. Previously, about 2K of memory per
tty was reserved (the raw queue was already reserved). Now, about
3.5K is reserved. Reserving everything would take a whole 0.5K
more.
ttyflush() might be called from an interrupt handler. This fixes
panics in IXOFF mode at the cost of more failures to send the START
character to exit from IXOFF mode.
