. map all objects named usermapped_*.o with globally visible
pages; usermapped_glo_*.o with the VM 'global' bit on, i.e.
permanently in tlb (very scarce resource!)
. added kinfo, machine, kmessages and loadinfo for a start
. modified log, tty to make use of the shared messages struct
When a file system is mounted some heuristics are used to define
a RS label for that system. This commit allows to specify the
label to use in an optional mount argument using either
mount -o rslabel=fs_myfs or as a mount option in fstab.
This can be used to start services that later also need to be
accessed directly.
make weak symbol references and namespace renames references
the renamed versions.
function renaming, weak symbol references and libc namespace.h
protection interact in hairy ways and causes weak symbol references
for renamed functions to be unresolved; e.g. vfork should be an
alias for _vfork but _vfork doesn't exist because __vfork14()
exists.
this is a problem for dynamically linked executables as all symbols
have to be resolved, used or not, at link time. it was masked by
clang-compiled base system libraries but is a problem when gcc does
it.
these two functions will be used to support all exec() functionality
going into a single library shared by RS and VFS and exec() knowledge
leaving VM.
. third-party mmap: allow certain processes (VFS, RS) to
do mmap() on behalf of another process
. PROCCTL: used to free and clear a process' address space
. vfs: pass execname in aux vectors
. ld.elf_so: use this to expand $ORIGIN
. this requires the executable to reserve more
space at exec() calling time
. generalize libexec slightly to get some more necessary information
from ELF files, e.g. the interpreter
. execute dynamically linked executables when exec()ed by VFS
. switch to netbsd variant of elf32.h exclusively, solves some
conflicting headers
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
