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.
In certain cases, a process ID may be reused between two lazy updates
of procfs's PID table. If the new associated process slot has a lower
index than the old one, this will trigger an assert in vtreefs, as the
new PID name entry is added before the old one is removed. This patch
fixes the problem by always first removing old PID name entries before
adding new ones.
Bug reported by Stephen Hatton.
PUFFS file systems need to make back calls for every operation we
send to them. Consequently, they cannot handle block reads and writes
themselves. Instead, the root file system has to do it (for now).
When the mount operation causes an FS to make a back call, AVFS now
concludes that every block read and write for that FS has to go
through the root file system.
. 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
In some places it was assumed that PATH_MAX does not include a
terminating null character.
Increases PATH_MAX to 1024 to get in sync with NetBSD. Required some
rewriting in AVFS to keep memory usage low (the stack in use by a thread
is very small).
. move cache size heuristic from mfs there
so mfs and ext2 can share it
. add vfs credentials retrieving function, with
backwards compatability from previous struct
format, to be used by both ext2 and mfs
. fix for ext2 - STATICINIT was fed no.
of bytes instead of no. of elements, overallocating
memory by a megabyte or two for the superblock
