This patch adds support for Unix98 pseudo terminals, that is,
posix_openpt(3), grantpt(3), unlockpt(3), /dev/ptmx, and /dev/pts/.
The latter is implemented with a new pseudo file system, PTYFS.
In effect, this patch adds secure support for unprivileged pseudo
terminal allocation, allowing programs such as tmux(1) to be used by
non-root users as well. Test77 has been extended with new tests, and
no longer needs to run as root.
The new functionality is optional. To revert to the old behavior,
remove the "ptyfs" entry from /etc/fstab.
Technical nodes:
o The reason for not implementing the NetBSD /dev/ptm approach is that
implementing the corresponding ioctl (TIOCPTMGET) would require
adding a number of extremely hairy exceptions to VFS, including the
PTY driver having to create new file descriptors for its own device
nodes.
o PTYFS is required for Unix98 PTYs in order to avoid that the PTY
driver has to be aware of old-style PTY naming schemes and even has
to call chmod(2) on a disk-backed file system. PTY cannot be its
own PTYFS since a character driver may currently not also be a file
system. However, PTYFS may be subsumed into a DEVFS in the future.
o The Unix98 PTY behavior differs somewhat from NetBSD's, in that
slave nodes are created on ptyfs only upon the first call to
grantpt(3). This approach obviates the need to revoke access as
part of the grantpt(3) call.
o Shutting down PTY may leave slave nodes on PTYFS, but once PTY is
restarted, these leftover slave nodes will be removed before they
create a security risk. Unmounting PTYFS will make existing PTY
slaves permanently unavailable, and absence of PTYFS will block
allocation of new Unix98 PTYs until PTYFS is (re)mounted.

. bitcode fixes
. switch to compiler-rt instead of netbsd libc functions
or libgcc for support functions for both x86 and arm
. minor build fixes
. allow build with llvm without crossbuilding llvm itself
. can now build minix/arm using llvm and eabi - without C++
support for now (hence crossbuilding llvm itself is turned off
for minix/arm)

- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

changes:
. change reboot() call to netbsd prototype and args
. allows pristine <utmp.h>
. use clean <sys/reboot.h> instead of <minix/reboot.h>
. implement TIOCSCTTY for use by getty so getty can get

If a device node is given without path, and opening the node fails
initially, prepend "/dev/" to the node name and try opening again.
This is more in line with NetBSD behavior.

The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
Bumping libc files for unsupported architectures, to simplify merging.
A bunch of small fixes:
* in libutil update
* the macro in endian.h
* some undefined types due to clear separation from host.
* Fix a warning for cdbr.c
Some modification which were required for the new build system:
* inclusion path for const.h in sconst, still hacky
* Removed default malloc.c which conflicts on some occasions.
WARNING: this will break existing dynamically linked binaries if they
exist. If you have any:
. re-build world statically first if necessary
. remove libraries from /lib and /usr/lib
. then build world
This change:
. avoids possible future dismay when interfacing other
systems' binaries; done until they are abi-compatible
Thanks to Antoine Leca for pointing this out.
building defaults to off until clang is updated.
current clang does not handle -shared, necessary to change the ld
invocation to build shared libraries properly. a new clang should be
installed and MKPIC defaults to no unless the newer clang is detected.
changes:
. mainly small imports of a Makefile or two and small fixes
(turning things back on that were turned off in Makefiles)
. e.g.: dynamic librefuse now depends on dynamic
libpuffs, so libpuffs has to be built dynamically too
and a make dependency barrier is needed in lib/Makefile
. all library objects now have a PIC (for .so) and non-PIC
version, so everything is built twice.
. generate PIC versions of the compat (un-RENAMEd) jump files,
include function type annotation in generated assembly
. build progs with -static by default for now
. also build ld.elf_so
. also import NetBSD ldd
. fixes e.g. ssh sessions not getting their own
controlling tty (causing ^C getting broadcast to too
many processes)
. previously (before -lutil) handled like this by bsd-openpty.c in
openssh
. reported by Andy Kosela, debugged by ThomasV
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.
Changes in this commit:
. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
. test compile fix
. harmonize includes
. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
less on the state of the machine making them now.
. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
. reduce mtree
The NetBSD libc provides a mechanism to have versions of system calls.
By 'renaming' symbols to a new version, freshly compiled programs will
automatically use the new symbol iff they use the proper header files. The
old, not renamed, version of the symbol will still exist (after being moved
to the compat directory), so old programs can still link.
Since MINIX doesn't support dynamic linking, the whole rename mechanism
doesn't really work for us. However, removing it would create a huge diff
with the current NetBSD libc.
A lot of the compat code relies on things we don't (seem to) have, and
therefore does not get built and linked. This causes trouble for tools like
autoconf, which will fail to find the renamed symbols. For example,
currently select gets renamed to __select50 in libc. Autoconf looks for
'select' and doesn't find it and reports we don't have it. This is where
the compat.S stub comes into play: it generates the old symbols and jumps to
the new symbols. However, as this is done in one object file, all renamed
symbols get linked together, causing binaries to be huge. This patch fixes
that by generating an object file for each renamed symbol.
This patch also makes the MISSING_SYSCALLS more complete and marginally
reduces the diff with NetBSD.
This patch fixes most of current reasons to generate compiler warnings.
The changes consist of:
- adding missing casts
- hiding or unhiding function declarations
- including headers where missing
- add __UNCONST when assigning a const char * to a char *
- adding missing return statements
- changing some types from unsigned to signed, as the code seems to want
signed ints
- converting old-style function definitions to current style (i.e.,
void func(param1, param2) short param1, param2; {...} to
void func (short param1, short param2) {...})
- making the compiler silent about signed vs unsigned comparisons. We
have too many of those in the new libc to fix.
A number of bugs in the test set were fixed. These bugs were never
triggered with our old libc. Consequently, these tests are now forced to
link with the new libc or they will generate errors (in particular tests 43
and 55).
Most changes in NetBSD libc are limited to moving aroudn "#ifndef __minix"
or stuff related to Minix-specific things (code in sys-minix or gen/minix).
. add bsd-style MLINKS to minix man set, restoring aliases
(e.g. man add64 -> int64)
. update daily cron script to run makewhatis and restore makewhatis
in man Makefile (makedb), restores functionality of man -k
. netbsd imports of man, mdocml, makewhatis, libutil, apropos
. update man.conf with manpage locations, restoring man [-s] <section>
. throws out some obsolete manpages
3 sets of libraries are built now:
. ack: all libraries that ack can compile (/usr/lib/i386/)
. clang+elf: all libraries with minix headers (/usr/lib/)
. clang+elf: all libraries with netbsd headers (/usr/netbsd/)
Once everything can be compiled with netbsd libraries and headers, the
/usr/netbsd hierarchy will be obsolete and its libraries compiled with
netbsd headers will be installed in /usr/lib, and its headers
in /usr/include. (i.e. minix libc and current minix headers set
will be gone.)
To use the NetBSD libc system (libraries + headers) before
it is the default libc, see:

This wiki page also documents the maintenance of the patch
files of minix-specific changes to imported NetBSD code.
