. replaced by a readclock 'driver' that runs once, a re-imported version
of the minix 2.0.4 readclock command.
. this has also restored cmos writing.
. readclock wrapper script calls service command to run /bin/readclock.drv
once.
libdriver. at_wini now queues messages it can't handle it receives when
waiting for an interrupt. this way it can do receive(ANY) and timeouts
should be working again (were broken for VFS, as with the advent of VFS,
at_wini could get requests from a filesystem while it was waiting for an
interrupt - as a hack, the receive() was changed to receive(HARDWARE)).
Added mq.c to libdriver, and made libdriver an actual library that
drivers link with -L../libdriver -ldriver. (So adding files, if
necessary, is easier next time.)
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.
. kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
. architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
. <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
architecture-independent functions.
. int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
. i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
. prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
. /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
i386.
. some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
. in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
. fixes for new include files
files deleted:
. mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
. klib86.s - only for 86
i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
. mpx386.s (entry point)
. klib386.s
. sconst.h
. exception.c
. protect.c
. protect.h
. i8269.c
-script argument to service for crash recovery scripts
-config argument to service for driver resource configuration
restart command in service to restart a driver after a crash (for use in
crash recovery scripts).
down and refresh now take labels instead of pids.
verious changes in rs to make this work.
size field. The TIOCSFON ioctl size (8192) didn't get encoded properly,
as there weren't enough bits for it (12) in the regular format.
The new format has only one type field, and an extra flag (_IOC_BIG)
turned on. FS checks for this flag and uses the alternative decoding
of the ioctl codes to determine the size when doing grants.
This unbreaks loadfont, although that still uses a phys copy in tty.
form. Subscriptions are regular expressions.
. different types are stored per key; currently u32 and/or string.
the same key can be referenced (publish, subscribe, check) as any type.
. notify()s are sent when subscriptions are triggered (publishing or
updating of matching keys); optionally, a subscribe flag sends
updates for all matching keys at subscription time, instead of only
after updates after subscribing
. all interfacing to ds is in /usr/src/lib/syslib/ds.c.
. subscribe is ds_subscribe
publish functions are ds_publish_<type>
retrieve functions are ds_retrieve_<type> (one-time retrieval of a value)
check functions are ds_check_<type> (check for updated key caller
subscribes to not yet checked for, or ESRCH for none)
. ramdisk driver updated with new ds interface
include grant id in DEV_REVIVE messages.
. Removal of TTY_FLAGS field (and so O_NONBLOCK support).
. Fixed CANCEL behaviour and return code on blocking I/O,
previously handled by O_NONBLOCK
. Totally removed REVIVE replies, previously still possible on
blocking ioctls (REVIVE directly called) and ptys (missing TTY_REVIVE
check), removes deadlock bug with FS
. Removed obsolete *COMPAT options and associated code
