. move mfs-specific struct, constants to mfs/, so
mfs-specific, on-disk format structs and consts are
fully isolated from generic structs and functions
. removes de and readfs utils
. it's a good extra interface to have but doesn't
meet standardised functionality
. applications (in pkgsrc) find it and expect
full functionality the minix mmap doesn't offter
. on the whole probably better to hide these functions
(mmap and friends) until they are grown up; the base system
can use the new minix_* names
. MAP_SHARED was used to implement sysv shared memory
. used to signal shareable memory region to VM
. assumptions about this situation break when processes
use MAP_SHARED for its normal, standardised meaning
* VFS and installed MFSes must be in sync before and after this change *
Use struct stat from NetBSD. It requires adding new STAT, FSTAT and LSTAT
syscalls. Libc modification is both backward and forward compatible.
Also new struct stat uses modern field sizes to avoid ABI
incompatibility, when we update uid_t, gid_t and company.
Exceptions are ino_t and off_t in old libc (though paddings added).
1. ack, a.out, minix headers (moved to /usr/include.ack),
minix libc
2. gcc/clang, elf, netbsd headers (moved to /usr/include),
netbsd libc (moved to /usr/lib)
So this obsoletes the /usr/netbsd hierarchy.
No special invocation for netbsd libc necessary - it's always used
for gcc/clang.
This patch moves more includes (most of them, to tell the truth) to
common/include directory. This completes the list of includes needed
to compile current trunk with the new libc (but to do that you need
more patches in queue).
This patch also contains some modification (for compilation with new
headers) to the common includes under __NBSD_LIBC, the define used
in mk script to specialize compilation with new includes.
Headers that will be shared between old includes and NetBSD-like includes
are moved into common/include tree. They are still copied in /usr/include
in 'make includes', so compilation and programs aren't be affected.
model to an instance-based model. Each ethernet driver instance is now
responsible for exactly one network interface card. The port field in
/etc/inet.conf now acts as an instance field instead.
This patch also updates the data link protocol. This update:
- eliminates the concept of ports entirely;
- eliminates DL_GETNAME entirely;
- standardizes on using m_source for IPC and DL_ENDPT for safecopies;
- removes error codes from TASK/STAT replies, as they were unused;
- removes a number of other old or unused fields;
- names and renames a few other fields.
All ethernet drivers have been changed to:
- conform to the new protocol, and exactly that;
- take on an instance number based on a given "instance" argument;
- skip that number of PCI devices in probe iterations;
- use config tables and environment variables based on that number;
- no longer be limited to a predefined maximum of cards in any way;
- get rid of any leftover non-safecopy support and other ancient junk;
- have a correct banner protocol figure, or none at all.
Other changes:
* Inet.conf is now taken to be line-based, and supports #-comments.
No existing installations are expected to be affected by this.
* A new, select-based asynchio library replaces the old one.
Kindly contributed by Kees J. Bot.
* Inet now supports use of select() on IP devices.
Combined, the last two changes together speed up dhcpd
considerably in the presence of multiple interfaces.
* A small bug has been fixed in nonamed.
VFS CHANGES:
- dmap table no longer statically initialized in VFS
- Dropped FSSIGNON svrctl call no longer used by INET
INET CHANGES:
- INET announces its presence to VFS just like any other driver
RS CHANGES:
- The boot image dev table contains all the data to initialize VFS' dmap table
- RS interface supports asynchronous up and update operations now
- RS interface extended to support driver style and flags
swapcontext, and makecontext).
- Fix VM to not erroneously think the stack segment and data segment have
collided when a user-space thread invokes brk().
- Add test51 to test ucontext functionality.
- Add man pages for ucontext system calls.
Move archtypes.h to include/ dir, since several servers require it. Move
fpu.h and stackframe.h to arch-specific header directory. Make source
files and makefiles aware of the new header locations.
