form. Subscriptions are regular expressions.
. different types are stored per key; currently u32 and/or string.
the same key can be referenced (publish, subscribe, check) as any type.
. notify()s are sent when subscriptions are triggered (publishing or
updating of matching keys); optionally, a subscribe flag sends
updates for all matching keys at subscription time, instead of only
after updates after subscribing
. all interfacing to ds is in /usr/src/lib/syslib/ds.c.
. subscribe is ds_subscribe
publish functions are ds_publish_<type>
retrieve functions are ds_retrieve_<type> (one-time retrieval of a value)
check functions are ds_check_<type> (check for updated key caller
subscribes to not yet checked for, or ESRCH for none)
. ramdisk driver updated with new ds interface
. added safecopies.c:
these are library functions to maintain grant tables in own address space
. sys_safecopy.c:
interfaces to kernel calls to perform safe copy functions in from or to
foreign process
. changes in i/o fields (type merged with request) reflected in
library functions (sys_out.c, sys_vinb.c, sys_vinl.c, sys_vinw.c,
sys_voutb.c, sys_voutl.c, sys_voutw.c)
. type merged with request in sys_sdevio, also now accepts offset which
is used when a grant is specified (the _DIO_SAFE subtype)
. system printf() function changed to send DIAGNOSTICS_S messages, which
specify a grant id instead of a direct address for the buffer to be
printed; tty and log can then safecopy the buffer
library to the memory driver. Always put output from within TTY directly on
the console. Removed second include of driver.h from tty.c. Made tty_inrepcode
bigger. First step to move PM and FS calls that are not regular (API)
system calls out of callnr.h (renumbered them, and removed them from the
table.c files). Imported the Minix-vmd uname implementation. This provides
a more stable ABI than the current implementation. Added a bit of security
checking. Unfortunately not nearly enough to get a secure system. Fixed a
bug related to the sizes of the programs in the image (in PM patch_mem_chunks).
