Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.
There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
* Updating common/lib
* Updating lib/csu
* Updating lib/libc
* Updating libexec/ld.elf_so
* Corrected test on __minix in featuretest to actually follow the
meaning of the comment.
* Cleaned up _REENTRANT-related defintions.
* Disabled -D_REENTRANT for libfetch
* Removing some unneeded __NBSD_LIBC defines and tests
Change-Id: Ic1394baef74d11b9f86b312f5ff4bbc3cbf72ce2
Replace proto.sh by the c processor to generate proto.gen in order
for us to have a more flexible way of selecting the files we want
in the ramdisk.
Change-Id: Id82b9f1b73b498c4d885bb3156fcefaeb9d157e0
Also fix a potential issue where host tools would be compiled
dynamically under MINIX.
This also updates proto.common.dynamic to use the new placement
of the dynamic libraries (/usr/lib)
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
.Split TTY in order to support both x86 and ARM.
.Add support for the TI 16750 UARTs on OMAP35x.
.Various other improvements:
.Kernel messages are printed using generic terminal write
functions. That is, they are no longer directly displayed
on the console.
.The console can now be displayed on any terminal. This
is configured by the "console={tty00,tty01,ttyc2,ttyc3,ttyc4}"
boot variable -- basically any valid /dev/tty* terminal.
.Cutify kernel messages with colors. Configured by
"kernelclr={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}" boot variable.
* Add dummy driver to allow independent testing of mmcblk.
* Always build the mmc driver to prevent breakage.
* Allow to specify the mmc driver to be used at load time.

complete munmap implementation; single-page references made
a general munmap() implementation possible to write cleanly.
. memory: let the MIOCRAMSIZE ioctl set the imgrd device
size (but only to 0)
. let the ramdisk command set sizes to 0
. use this command to set /dev/imgrd to 0 after mounting /usr
in /etc/rc, so the boot time ramdisk is freed (about 4MB
currently)
By decoupling synchronous drivers from VFS, we are a big step closer to
supporting driver crashes under all circumstances. That is, VFS can't
become stuck on IPC with a synchronous driver (e.g., INET) and can
recover from crashing block drivers during open/close/ioctl or during
communication with an FS.
In order to maintain serialized communication with a synchronous driver,
the communication is wrapped by a mutex on a per driver basis (not major
numbers as there can be multiple majors with identical endpoints). Majors
that share a driver endpoint point to a single mutex object.
In order to support crashes from block drivers, the file reopen tactic
had to be changed; first reopen files associated with the crashed
driver, then send the new driver endpoint to FSes. This solves a
deadlock between the FS and the block driver;
- VFS would send REQ_NEW_DRIVER to an FS, but he FS only receives it
after retrying the current request to the newly started driver.
- The block driver would refuse the retried request until all files
had been reopened.
- VFS would reopen files only after getting a reply from the initial
REQ_NEW_DRIVER.
When a character special driver crashes, all associated files have to
be marked invalid and closed (or reopened if flagged as such). However,
they can only be closed if a thread holds exclusive access to it. To
obtain exclusive access, the worker thread (which handles the new driver
endpoint event from DS) schedules a new job to garbage collect invalid
files. This way, we can signal the worker thread that was talking to the
crashed driver and will release exclusive access to a file associated
with the crashed driver and prevent the garbage collecting worker thread
from dead locking on that file.
Also, when a character special driver crashes, RS will unmap the driver
and remap it upon restart. During unmapping, associated files are marked
invalid instead of waiting for an endpoint up event from DS, as that
event might come later than new read/write/select requests and thus
cause confusion in the freshly started driver.
When locking a filp, the usage counters are no longer checked. The usage
counter can legally go down to zero during filp invalidation while there
are locks pending.
DS events are handled by a separate worker thread instead of the main
thread as reopening files could lead to another crash and a stuck thread.
An additional worker thread is then necessary to unlock it.
Finally, with everything asynchronous a race condition in do_select
surfaced. A select entry was only marked in use after succesfully sending
initial select requests to drivers and having to wait. When multiple
select() calls were handled there was opportunity that these entries
were overwritten. This had as effect that some select results were
ignored (and select() remained blocking instead if returning) or do_select
tried to access filps that were not present (because thrown away by
secondary select()). This bug manifested itself with sendrecs, but was
very hard to reproduce. However, it became awfully easy to trigger with
asynsends only.
