Add two makefiles to manage compiling packages with NetBSD libc.
* minix.libc.mk contains the proper CFLAGS/LDFLAGS
* pkgsrchooks.mk contains the logic for setting the flags.
* update bmake
Several pkg-config files were added to help pkgsrc learn about
the c, minlib, and compat_minix libraries.
. remove a few asserts in the kernel and 64bi library
that are not compatible with the timing code
. change the TIME_BLOCKS code a little to work in-kernel
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.

#if inside macro call is undefined behaviour under the C standard
(3.8.3 paragraph 10 for C90, 6.8.10 paragraph 11 for C99).
The same effect can be achieved with a slightly more verbose construct,
putting the whole macro call inside the #ifdef/#else/#endif.
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.
to upstream.
- revert to upstream version of function prototypes for
setting the uid and gid fields of the archive_entry.
- move uid/gid overflow checks into header_common().
- use archive_set_error() instead of fprintf() for getting
error message text back to the main program.
and minor fixes:
. add ack/clean target to lib, 'unify' clean target
. add includes as library dependency
. mk: exclude warning options clang doesn't have in non-gcc
. set -e in lib/*.sh build files
. clang compile error circumvention (disable NOASSERTS for release builds)
The file timestamps in archives created by libarchive all had
dates in the year 2038. It was caused by a bit shift in
archive_write_set_format_ustar which shifted 1 instead of 1ull.
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.
asynchronous message resulted in an error.
The model here is that:
- Iff a sender wishes to be notified, the sender MUST check for errors
BEFORE sending another asynchronous message.
The reason is that in order to remember the error code, we can't clean up
the message table and hence we risk running out of table space. This is
less of a problem when the sender enables notifications only for errors.
This library includes various random and minix-specific functions
included in the Minix libc. Most of them should be part of libsys,
and in general it would be nice to extinguish this library over
time.
- Remove sanity checks for initialized mutexes and condition variables. This
significantly boosts performance. The checks can be turned back on by
compiling libmthread with MTHREAD_STRICT. According to POSIX operations on
uninitialized variables are a MAY fail if, therefore allowing this
optimization.
- Test59 has to be accommodated to the lack of sanity checks on uninitialized
variables in the library. It specifically tests for them and will run into
segfaults when the checks are absent in the library.
- Fix a few bugs related to the scheduler
- Do some general code cleanups
This patch fixes some wrong error code number in nbsd libc's sys/errno.h
and adds new ones.
As in NetBSD the errno.h is used to automatically generate errlist.c array,
EBADCPU set to 1000 to be a bit too large, so we instruct the awk script
to stop at EDEADEPT (ELAST).
This patch changes the NBSD libc stat implemenation and adds
fstat (and headers), taken from current libc.
It also adds weaks alias to functions in the resolver that
were removed from public use in NetBSD but that are still
used by Minix, and fixes a NetBSD non-REENTRANT bug in
in gen/initdir.c.
This patch add a few weak_alias forgotten, so that non-internal
symbols are defined to be used from application.
Modifying only the minix-specific part, this patch needs no update
to minix-port.patch.
This patch mainly copies and modifies files existing in
the current libc implementing minix specific functions.
To keep consisten with the NetBSD libc, we remove
namespace stubs and we use "namespace.h" and weak
links.
This patch contains changes to NetBSD libc code base to make it
compile and work on Minix. Some of them are due to actual NetBSD
libc bugs, as we're compiling it in non-reentrant mode and with
a.out support, something not exactly frequent in NetBSD.
Others are proper fixes to port it to Minix (mostly sa_len
parameter missing in socket and a few mmap from files).
This patch imports the unmodified current version of NetBSD libc.
The NetBSD includes are in /nbsd_include, while the libc code itself is
split between lib/nbsd_libc and common/lib/libc.

this is a fix for e.g. the situation where lots of processes die
instantly, and PM has to send an asyn msg for each one to VFS, and
panics if there are too many. there are likely more situations in
which this table should be dependent on the no. of processes.
reported by pikpik on #minix3.
Before, the 'main thread' of a process was never taken into account anywhere in
the library, causing mutexes not to work properly (and consequently, neither
did the condition variables). For example, if the 'main thread' (that is, the
thread which is started at the beginning of a process; not a spawned thread by
the library) would lock a mutex, it wasn't actually locked.
- profile --nmi | --rtc sets the profiling mode
- --rtc is default, uses BIOS RTC, cannot profile kernel the presetted
frequency values apply
- --nmi is only available in APIC mode as it uses the NMI watchdog, -f
allows any frequency in Hz
- both modes use compatible data structures
- sys_schedule can change only selected values, -1 means that the
current value should be kept unchanged. For instance we mostly want
to change the scheduling quantum and priority but we want to keep
the process at the current cpu
- RS can hand off its processes to scheduler
- service can read the destination cpu from system.conf
- RS can pass the information farther
