The implementation is in libblockdriver, and works transparently for
all block drivers. The new btrace(8) tool can be used to control block
tracing; see ``man btrace'' for details.
. rc script and service know to look in /usr/pkg/.. for
extra binaries and conf files
. service split into parsing config and doing RS request
so that a new utility (printconfig) can just print the
config in machine-parseable format for netconf integration
. converted all base system eth drivers/netconf
. detect both formats in /etc/rc
. generate new format in setup
. obsoletes /etc/fstab.local: everything can go in /etc/fstab
. put shutdown/reboot/halt and a copy of /usr/adm/wtmp
(/etc/wtmp) on root FS so that we can do shutdown checks before
mounting /usr
. new fstab format makes getfsent() and friends work
Import libpuffs and our port of libpuffs. The port was done as part of
GSoC 2011 FUSE project, done by Evgeniy Ivanov. The librefuse import
did not require any porting efforts. Libpuffs has been modified to
understand our VFS-FS protocol and translate between that and PUFFS. As
an example that it works, fuse-ntfs-3g from pkgsrc can be compiled and
used to mount ntfs partitions:
mount -t ntfs-3g <device> <mountpoint>
FUSE only works with the asynchronous version of VFS. See <docs/UPDATING> on
how to run AVFS.
This patch further includes some changes to mount(1) and mount(2) so it's
possible to use file systems provided by pkgsrc (note: manual modifications
to /etc/system.conf are still needed. There has been made an exception for
fuse-ntfs-3g, so it already as an entry).
. add bsd-style MLINKS to minix man set, restoring aliases
(e.g. man add64 -> int64)
. update daily cron script to run makewhatis and restore makewhatis
in man Makefile (makedb), restores functionality of man -k
. netbsd imports of man, mdocml, makewhatis, libutil, apropos
. update man.conf with manpage locations, restoring man [-s] <section>
. throws out some obsolete manpages
. 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
Let's suppose that /usr/tmp exists and one wants /usr/tmp/a/b
If one runs "mkdir -p /usr/tmp/a/b/" (the '/' at the end is
important), then a "File exists" error comes up. Example:
$ rm -rf /usr/tmp/a
$ mkdir -p /usr/tmp/a/b/
/usr/tmp/a/b/: File exists
This breaks gcc47 installation when C++ is enabled, and this
isn't the behaviour of mkdir on NetBSD nor Linix.
This patch fixes the above issue by dropping the trailing '/'.
. ipc wants to know about processes that get
signals, so that it can break blocking ipc operations
. doing it for every single signal is wasteful
and causes the annoying 'no slot for signals' message
. this fix tells vm on a per-process basis it (ipc)
wants to be notified, i.e. only when it does any ipc calls
. move ipc config to separate config file while we're at it
The bsd signal names are out-of-order compared to the minix ones.
I found out (the hard way) that the (MINIX-descending) ordered list of
signals in <sys/signal.h> does not match the (BSD-descending) ordered
list of signals in usr/src/lib/libc/nbsd_libc/gen/sig{name,list}.c
Beyond being unfortunate, it prevents the trap command of ash to handle
correctly a named signal; a funny test case is
#!/bin/sh
trap 'echo trapping signal BUS' BUS
trap 'echo trapping signal 10 (USR1)' 10
trap # show me what is currently trapped
As a quick workaround, I disabled the use of the libc-provided
sys_sig{name,list} arrays for ash, and reverted to the hand-made array
which is used by the less capable MINIX libc. It allowed me to use
pkgsrc.
. don't install minix <termcap.h> as libterminfo
has its own (but still install it in /usr/include.ack)
. forget minix termcap functions in -lcompat_minix
. make commands use -lterminfo in netbsd libc compile mode
. speeds up mkdep (i.e. world builds) significantly
. have to keep minix /bin/sed for a while because previous
usr/etc/rc depends on it
. force mkdep to use /usr/bin/sed for speedup
. 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
. strerror() assumes this
. remove generated libminc/errlist.c
. errno's in <sys/errno.h> have to be in sorted order
. filtering out some errno.h in Makefile lets us use near-stock
errlist.awk
* 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.
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
