- 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
On MFS file systems, the stat(2) call now counts indirect blocks as
part of the st_blocks calculation, in addition to proper initial
rounding of the file size. The returned value is now a true upper
bound on the actual number of 512-byte blocks allocated to the file.
As before, it is not accurate for sparse files.
On the x86, saving FPU state has the side effect of resetting this
state. In some cases (fork, getcontext), this would cause the state
to be lost. This patch restores the FPU state right after saving it,
except when different state is loaded immediately after.
Previously, user processes could cause a kernel panic upon FPU state
restore, by passing bogus FPU state to the kernel (through e.g.
sigreturn). With this patch, the process is now sent a SIGFPE signal
instead.
- libnetsock - internal implementation of a socket on the lwip
server side. it encapsulates the asynchronous protocol
- lwip server - uses libnetsock to work with the asynchronous
protocol
- 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
- select_request_async() returns no ops by default
- wantops in do_select() always set correctly, do_select() does
not need a special case for SUSPEND (and ugly code)
The NetBSD boot loader loads automatically the kernel module appropriate
for the detected root file system; it is preset at "ffs". The MINIX3fs
support does not reset the underlying global variable, since there are
no use for this on MINIX. As a result, the boot loader searches for
/ffs.kmod, and issues two warnings about "module failure to open/load."
When VFS detects that an FS has crashed and tries to clean up
resources, it marks fairly late in the process that a vmnt is not
to be used again (to send requests to). This allows a thread to
become blocked on a vmnt after all blocked threads were stopped, but
before it finds out it shouldn't try to send to that vmnt.
If the provided path was only a single component (i.e., without
slashes), then last_dir would return early and skip the symlink
detection (i.e., check whether the path ends in a symlink and resolve
that first before returning). This bug triggered an assert in open
which expects that an advance after an last_dir (with VMNT_WRITE lock)
does not yield another vmnt lock.
The assert was meant as an additional check to the assert in link.c:198.
The reasoning behind the assert in link.c:198 is that once you've
obtained a write lock on a vmnt, you can't get an additional read lock
on the same vmnt. However, that does not always hold for the assert in
path.c:281 where the situation could be that you've obtained a read lock
and managed to get another read lock (this is possible). In other words,
the assert in path.c:281 is not the right place to check for that
situation.
- Fix locking bug when unable to send DEV_SELECT request. Upon failure
VFS tried to cancel the select operation, but this failed due to trying
to lock a filp that was already locked to send the request in the first
place. Do_select_request now handles locking of filps itself instead of
relying on the caller to do it. This fixes a crash when killing INET.
- Fix failure to revive a process after a non-blocking select operation
yielded no ready select operations when replying DEV_SEL_REPL1.
- Improve readability by using OK, SUSPEND, and standard error values as
results instead of having separate macros in select.
- Don't print not having a driver for a major device; after killing a driver
select will trigger this printf.
