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.
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.
Changes in this commit:
. libsys: Add NBSD compilation and create a safe NBSD-based libc.
. Port rest of libraries (except libddekit) to new header system.
. Enable compilation of libddekit with new headers.
. Enable kernel compilation with new headers.
. Enable drivers compilation with new headers.
. Port legacy commands to new headers and libc.
. Port servers to new headers.
. Add <sys/sigcontext.h> in compat library.
. Remove dependency file in tree.
. Enable compilation of common/lib/libc/atomic in libsys
. Do not generate RCSID strings in libc.
. Temporarily disable zoneinfo as they are incompatible with NetBSD format
. obj-nbsd for .gitignore
. Procfs: use only integer arithmetic. (Antoine Leca)
. Increase ramdisk size to create NBSD-based images.
. Remove INCSYMLINKS handling hack.
. Add nbsd_include/sys/exec_elf.h
. Enable ELF compilation with NBSD libc.
. Add 'make nbsdsrc' in tools to download reference NetBSD sources.
. Automate minix-port.patch creation.
. Avoid using fstavfs() as it is *extremely* slow and unneeded.
. Set err() as PRIVATE to avoid name clash with libc.
. [NBSD] servers/vm: remove compilation warnings.
. u32 is not a long in NBSD headers.
. UPDATING info on netbsd hierarchy
. commands fixes for netbsd libc
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.
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)
A sort of quick hack for dhcpd to work as a client with lwip server.
- The functionality is not changed unless --lwip switch is supplied.
dhcpd does not use broadcast udp sockets but some sort of raw
sockets and changes their behavior during their life by ioctls.
- I thought there is no need to polute lwip just to make dhcp client
work. Instead I decided to twist the client a little bit.
- It is so far the only big collision I found between inet and lwip.
pkgsrc binary packages.
rationale:
. pkg_install (which is the pkg_* tools) is entangled with pkgsrc,
not with minix, so tracking it from pkgsrc (easier than with
base system) makes more sense
. simplifies upstreaming minix specific changes for pkg_* tools
. reduce pkgsrc-in-basesystem maintenance burden
- 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
- when kernel profiles a process for the first time it saves an entry
describing the process [endpoint|name]
- every profile sample is only [endpoint|pc]
- profile utility creates a table of endpoint <-> name relations and
translates endpoints of samples into names and writing out the
results to comply with the processing tools
- "task" endpoints like KERNEL are negative thus we must cast it to
unsigned when hashing
- contributed by Bjorn Swift
- adds process accounting, for example counting the number of messages
sent, how often the process was preemted and how much time it spent
in the run queue. These statistics, along with the current cpu load,
are sent back to the user-space scheduler in the Out Of Quantum
message.
- the user-space scheduler may choose to make use of these statistics
when making scheduling decisions. For isntance the cpu load becomes
especially useful when scheduling on multiple cores.
This makes it easier to
- have non-base system drivers (get clobbered by global system.conf)
- have drivers as packages (can't touch global system.conf)
- make configs part of the drivers/servers instead of in global file
(makes system parts more self-contained)
this is to force invocations of these utils for ack to be
explicitly named such, so in the future binutils can be installed
in /usr/pkg without the g- prefix.
