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)
Several pkgsrc packages under the games category won't install
without a games group. This change adds the group with gid 13,
the default games gid on NetBSD.
The file timestamps in archives created by libarchive all had
dates in the year 2038. It was caused by a bit shift in
archive_write_set_format_ustar which shifted 1 instead of 1ull.
- time stops if there is no activity and the timer expired before
we halted the cpu
- restart_local_timer() checks if the timer has expired and if so it
restarts it
- we do the same when switching back to userspace
- when ACPI does not find mappings for pci brdiges, do no panic,
only report a warning and continue to a fallback which uses
only the root bus IRQ routing table. Fail only if that is not
present.
Make test40 behave better. It should create its own subdirectory to
conduct its tests and should not write to /tmp. Also, the master-slave
terminal pair it tries to open might be in use; it should try to obtain
another pair. These changes allow the test to be run multiple times
simultaneously from different paths (to test select() more intensively).
- skip processes that are not asynsending to the target
- do not clear whole asynsend table upon IPC permission error
- be more accepting when one table entry is bogus later on
- Remove redundant code.
- Always wait for the initial reply from an asynchronous select request,
even if the select has been satisfied on another file descriptor or
was canceled due to a serious error.
- Restart asynchronous selects if upon reply from the driver turns out
that there are deferred operations (and do not forget we're still
interested in the results of the deferred operations).
- Do not hang a non-blocking select when another blocking select on
the same filp is still blocking.
- Split blocking operations in read, write, and exceptions (i.e.,
blocking on read does not imply the write will block as well).
- Some loops would iterate over OPEN_MAX file descriptors instead of
the "highest" file descriptor.
- Use proper internal error return values.
- A secondary reply from a synchronous driver is essentially the same
as from an asynchronous driver (the only difference being how the
answer is received). Merge.
- Return proper error code after a driver failure.
- Auto-detect whether a driver is synchronous or asynchronous.
- Remove some code duplication.
- Clean up code (coding style, add missing comments, put all select
related code together).
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.
From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:
- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
in DEV_OPEN.
The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.
asynchronous message resulted in an error.
The model here is that:
- Iff a sender wishes to be notified, the sender MUST check for errors
BEFORE sending another asynchronous message.
The reason is that in order to remember the error code, we can't clean up
the message table and hence we risk running out of table space. This is
less of a problem when the sender enables notifications only for errors.
completed (successfully or not). AMF_NOTIFY_ERR can be used if the sender
only wishes to be notified in case of an error (e.g., EDEADSRCDST). A new
endpoint ASYNCM will be the sender of the notification.
Dhcp only works if devices are configured with a broadcast source
address at the begining as it currently uses raw ip sockets and the
sockets sets the source address. It is a quick hack and proper hdcpd
fix is preferable
