. all invocations were S or D, so can safely be dropped
to prepare for the segmentless world
. still assign D to the SCP_SEG field in the message

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.
. readbios call is now a physical copy with range check in
the kernel call instead of BIOS_SEG+umap_bios
. requires all access to physical memory in bios range to go
through sys_readbios
. drivers/dpeth: wasn't using it
. adjusted printer
. make ramdisk buildable without ../etc having pwd.db
. add cat to release bootstrap cmds
. support running dynamically linked executables for
release bootstrap cmds
. import netbsd chroot to help
See UPDATING about upgrading clang for dynamic linking.
. allow executables on ramdisk to be dynamically linked; this means
putting a few required shared libraries and ld.elf_so on the ramdisk.
. this makes the ramdisk (usage) smaller when they are dynamic, but
bigger when they're not.
. also we can safely ditch newroot and call mount directly as that is
all newroot does.
. create proto.common to share a bunch of entries between
small/nonsmall cases
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
TTY has no way of keeping track of multiple readers for a tty minor
device. Instead, it stores a read request for the last reader only.
Consequently, the first ("overwritten") reader gets stuck on a read
request that's never going to be finished. Also, the overwriting
causes a grant mismatch in VFS when TTY returns a reply for the
second reader.
This patch is a work around for the actual problem (i.e., keeping track
of multiple readers). It checks whether there is a read operation in
progress and returns an error if it is --preventing that reader from
getting overwritten and stuck. It fixes a bug triggered by executing
'top | more' and pressing the space bar for a while (easily reproducable
in a VM, not on hardware).
- add files needed for acpi, ahci, fbd, vfs to libminc
- remove "-lc" from their respective makefiles
- remove setenv from libminc (requires initialization)
- remove PCI tables where system.conf suffices
- remove drivers' ability to mess up NIC order
- fix dp8390 PCI enumeration
- convert ti1225 to instance model
- add system.conf entry for ti1225
- if an operation (R, W, IOCTL) is non blocking, a flag is set
and sent to the device.
- nothing changes for sync devices
- asyn devices should reply asap if an operation is non-blocking.
We must trust the devices, but we had to trust them anyway to
reply to CANCEL correctly
- we safe sending CANCEL commands to asyn devices. This greatly
simplifies the protocol. Asynchronous devices can always reply
when a reply is ready and do not need to deal with other
situations
- currently, none of our drivers use the flags since they drive
virtual devices which do not block
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
Instead of using rootdev= or ramimagedev= in the boot monitor
which are changed to numbers and cannot be used with other
loaders, rootdevname= or ramimagename= are (MINIX-style)
device names always stored as strings.
Patch by Antoine Leca.
- change AcpiOsRemoveInterruptHandler() to print a warning
instead of panic.
- we do the same in AcpiOsInstallInterruptHandler().

. pre-cleanflag ("old") mkfs generates without CLEAN flag,
causing boot not working because imgrd disappears after 1st
close
. fixed sanity check for this situation
. disable imgrd disappearing in memory driver so
readonly mount succeeds in case it happens anyway
. also implement now-possible fsck -p option
. allows unconditional fsck -p invocation at startup,
only checking each filesystem if not marked clean
. mounting unclean is allowed but is forced readonly
. updating the superblock while mounted is now not
allowed by mfs - must be done (e.g. by fsck.mfs)
on an unmounted fs
. clean flag is unset by mfs on mounting, and set by
mfs on clean unmounting (if clean flag was set at
mount time)

- if no IRQ table is found, we report that ACPI cannot map IRQ
correctly
- fixes mapping of IRQs in KVM because in this case we just fall
through and use the IRQ configured by BIOS. PCI still reports
that it failed to use ACPI. It is a hint if things go wrong.
This driver can be loaded as an overlay on top of a real block
device, and can then be used to generate block-level failures for
certain transfer requests. Specifically, a rule-based system allows
the user to introduce (overt and silent) data corruption and errors.
It exposes itself through /dev/fbd, and a file system can be mounted
on top of it. The new fbdctl(8) tool can be used to control the
driver; see ``man fbdctl'' for details. It also comes with a test
set, located in test/fbdtest.
This removes a race condition when the block driver performs a
complete restart after a crash (the new default). If any user of
the driver finds out its new endpoint and sends a request to the
new driver instance before this instance has had the chance to
initialize, then its initialization would clear all IPC state and
thereby erroneously cancel the incoming request. Clearing IPC
state is only desired upon a stateful restart (where the driver's
endpoint is retained). This information is now passed to and used
by libblockdriver accordingly.
This stops the printer driver from hanging the entire system when
/dev/lp is opened on systems that do not have a parallel port. With
this change, the printer driver shuts down immediately after loading
on such systems.
Each block driver now gets to specify whether it is a disk block
driver, which implies it wants the library to handle getting and
setting partitions for it.
This patch separates the character and block driver communication
protocols. The old character protocol remains the same, but a new
block protocol is introduced. The libdriver library is replaced by
two new libraries: libchardriver and libblockdriver. Their exposed
API, and drivers that use them, have been updated accordingly.
Together, libbdev and libblockdriver now completely abstract away
the message format used by the block protocol. As the memory driver
is both a character and a block device driver, it now implements its
own message loop.
The most important semantic change made to the block protocol is that
it is no longer possible to return both partial results and an error
for a single transfer. This simplifies the interaction between the
caller and the driver, as the I/O vector no longer needs to be copied
back. Also, drivers are now no longer supposed to decide based on the
layout of the I/O vector when a transfer should be cut short. Put
simply, transfers are now supposed to either succeed completely, or
result in an error.
After this patch, the state of the various pieces is as follows:
- block protocol: stable
- libbdev API: stable for synchronous communication
- libblockdriver API: needs slight revision (the drvlib/partition API
in particular; the threading API will also change shortly)
- character protocol: needs cleanup
- libchardriver API: needs cleanup accordingly
- driver restarts: largely unsupported until endpoint changes are
reintroduced
As a side effect, this patch eliminates several bugs, hacks, and gcc
-Wall and -W warnings all over the place. It probably introduces a
few new ones, too.
Update warning: this patch changes the protocol between MFS and disk
drivers, so in order to use old/new images, the MFS from the ramdisk
must be used to mount all file systems.
. always compile acpi, with clang, so never have
build/clean inconsistencies; can be enabled (i.e. run
at boot time) by setting acpi variable in the boot monitor
. always strip binaries with the right strip cmd, so never
have ack/elf strip inconsistencies
. rc script and service know to look in /usr/pkg/.. for
extra binaries and conf files
. service split into parsing config and doing RS request
so that a new utility (printconfig) can just print the
config in machine-parseable format for netconf integration
. converted all base system eth drivers/netconf
While no problems have been observed in practice yet, modern compilers
may reorder memory access operations, and that could lead to problems
with memory-mapped I/O typically done by drivers. This patch prevents
any potentially problematic reordering by the compiler in the ATL2
driver.
In addition, this patch removes a number of gcc/clang warnings.
While no problems have been observed in practice yet, modern compilers
may reorder memory access operations, and that could lead to problems
with memory-mapped I/O typically done by drivers. This patch prevents
any potentially problematic reordering by the compiler in the AHCI
driver.
This patch adds support for executing multiple concurrent requests on
different devices on the same AHCI controller. The libdriver library
has been extended to include a generic multithreading interface, and
the AHCI driver has been extended to make use of this interface.
The original version of this code has been written by Arne Welzel.
Improves cache locality by grouping together dependency generation
with building for each program instead of doing a whole-tree dep
generation phase followed by a whole-tree build phase
. it's a good extra interface to have but doesn't
meet standardised functionality
. applications (in pkgsrc) find it and expect
full functionality the minix mmap doesn't offter
. on the whole probably better to hide these functions
(mmap and friends) until they are grown up; the base system
can use the new minix_* names
- the pointers must be flagged as volatile because otherwise they
might be "optimized" by a compiler. It is a common good
practice to access the registers this way, the keyword is in C
for a reason.
- for instance, in eeprom_eerd() when polling a register the
compiler, under certain conditions, may decide upon the first
read and if it does not break the loop it assumes that the
value is not going to change and thus stays in an infinite
loop.
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:
http://wiki.minix3.org/en/DevelopersGuide/UsingNetBSDCode
This wiki page also documents the maintenance of the patch
files of minix-specific changes to imported NetBSD code.

sys_umap now supports only:
- looking up the physical address of a virtual address in the address space
of the caller;
- looking up the physical address of a grant for which the caller is the
grantee.
This is enough for nearly all umap users. The new sys_umap_remote supports
lookups in arbitrary address spaces and grants for arbitrary grantees.
- when ACPI does not find mappings for pci brdiges, do no panic,
only report a warning and continue to a fallback which uses
only the root bus IRQ routing table. Fail only if that is not
present.
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.
From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:
- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
in DEV_OPEN.
The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.
