boot monitor.
Added SCSI_SENSE command that asks the drive, with request sense, about
diagnostics for the previous error. This command is called and the results
printed when atapi_debug is enabled and atapi errors occur.
Debug output also prints actual commands sent to the drive.
Suddenly, Andy's problem has vanished. Don't know why, minor changes
(e.g. moving the atapi packet data from stack to static) shouldn't have
fixed this.. But with the debug info, we stand a better chance of
finding out what it was if it occurs again.
. added OPENCT ioctl to at driver, which returns the number of times
a device is opened. if it's not opened exactly once, new partition info
will not be read in (at the next open after this close). included
this check in autopart.
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.
Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.
to provide an index (0 .. 31) that is passed in the HARD_INT message when an
interrupt occurs. The NOTIFY_ARG field contains a bitmap with all indexes for
which an interrupt occured.
TTY: select and revive with new notify and FS call back;
kernel: removed old notify code; removed ugly prepare_shutdown timer
kputc: don't send to FS if PRINTF_PROC fails
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
This allowed removing the p_flagarlm timer from the kernel's process table.
Furthermore, I merged p_syncalrm and p_signalrm into p_alarm_timer to save
even more space. Note that processes can no longer have both a signal and
synchronous alarm timer outstanding as of now.
and type) are overwritten with newer flags/ arguments. The interface from
within the kernel is lock_notify(). User processes can make a system call with
notify(). NOTIFY fully replaces the old notification mechanism.
