pointer to a dumperinfo instead of di. A brainfart, surely. This
bug went unnoticed for all this time because the pointer is only
used by buf_write() when it can write a completely filled buffer
to the dump device. This depends on the number of memory chunks
that needs to be dumped. This has apparently been low enough that
it has never happened up until this point.
for defining vectors. As a result, each vector will be a global
function with unwind directives to notify the unwinder that we're
in an interrupt handler. In the debugger this will show up something
like:
Debugger(0xe000000000a211d8, 0xe000000000748960) at Debugger+0x31
panic(0xe000000000a36858, 0xe0000000021d32d0, 0xe000000000ae42e8, ...
trap(0x14, 0x100000, 0xe0000000021d32d0, 0x0, 0xa0000000002095f0, ...
ivt_Data_TLB(0x14, 0x100000, 0xe0000000021d32d0) at ivt_Data_TLB+0x1f0
This is for the not-quite-ready signal/fpu abi stuff. It may not see
the light of day, but I'm certainly not going to be able to validate it
when getting shot in the foot due to syscall number conflicts.
execve_secure() system call, which permits a process to pass in a label
for a label change during exec. This permits SELinux to change the
label for the resulting exec without a race following a manual label
change on the process. Because this interface uses our general purpose
MAC label abstraction, we call it execve_mac(), and wrap our port of
SELinux's execve_secure() around it with appropriate sid mappings.

by using the linker hooks. Since these hooks are called for the
kernel as well, we don't need to deal with that with a special
SYSINIT. The initialization implicitly performed on the first
update of the unwind information is made explicit with a SYSINIT.
We now don't need the _ia64_unwind_{start|end} symbols.
The primary reason for this is to allow MD code to process machine
specific attributes, segments or sections in the ELF file and
update machine specific state accordingly. An immediate use of this
is in the ia64 port where unwind information is updated to allow
debugging and tracing in/across modules. Note that this commit
does not add the functionality to the ia64 port. See revision 1.9
of ia64/ia64/elf_machdep.c.

ACL configuration changes, this shouldn't result in different code paths
for file systems not explicitly configured for ACLs by the system
administrator. For UFS1, administrators must still recompile their
kernel to add support for extended attributes; for UFS2, it's sufficient
to enable ACLs using tunefs or at mount-time (tunefs preferred for
reliability reasons). UFS2, for a variety of reasons, including
performance and reliability, is the preferred file system for use with
ACLs.

were improperly relocated due to faulty logic in lookup_fdesc()
in elf_machdep.c. The symbol index (symidx) was bogusly used for
load modules other than the one the relocation applied to. This
resulted in bogus bindings and consequently runtime failures.
The fix is to use the symbol index only for the module being
relocated and to use the symbol name for look-ups in the
modules in the dependent list. As such, we need a function to
return the symbol name given the linker file and symbol index.
the predicate registers. Even though the ITLB and DTLB interrupts
happen often enough, this bug didn't do much harm. The reason
is that the interrupt handlers only modify p1 and since this is
a preserved (callee-saved) register it is hardly used in code
generated by the compiler. Compilers use scratch registers by
default. Changing the interrupt handlers to use p6 (ie a scratch
register) proved that the bug was in fact fatal.
o Replace KSTACK_PAGES with pages on panic() in pmap_new_thread(),
o Fix style bugs in adjacent code,
o Use NULL instead of 0 for pointers,
o Save the virtual kstack address if we create an alternate
kstack because 1) we can derive the physical (RR7) address
from it and 2) we need the virtual address for contigfree()
in pmap_dispose_thread(). Thus td_altkstack saves
td_md.md_kstackvirt.
as a trivial function that only calls ia64_tpa() and hence requires
the prototype of ia64_tpa(), but by defining pmap_kextract as
ia64_tpa. This solves the inclusion ordering issue in ddb/db_watch.c
NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.

is partly based on the Alpha system which duplicates the clock to
each cpu, instead of doing a clock roundrobin like on i386. This means
we get hz * ncpu clocks per second and so we have to seperate clock
sampling from actual 'do the work' clock processing. The BSP runs the
complete processing, the rest just sample state etc.
Using the on-cpu interval timer is not ideal as it will drift. There
is more to be done here, we should use an external clock source.
expand to __attribute__((packed)) and __attribute__((aligned(x)))
respectively. Replace the handful of gcc-ism's that use
__attribute__((aligned(16))) etc around the kernel with __aligned(16).
There are over 400 __attribute__((packed)) to deal with, that can come
later. I just want to use __packed in new code rather than add more
gcc-ism's.
and predictable way, and I apologize if I have gotten it wrong anywhere,
getting prior review on a patch like this is not feasible, considering
the number of people involved and hardware availability etc.)
If struct disklabel is the messenger: kill the messenger.
Inside struct disk we had a struct disklabel which disk drivers used to
communicate certain metrics to the disklayer above (GEOM or the disk
mini-layer). This commit changes this communication to use four
explicit fields instead.
Amongst the benefits is that the fields do not get overwritten by
wrong or bogus on-disk disklabels.
Once that is clear, <sys/disk.h> which is included in the drivers
no longer need to pull <sys/disklabel.h> and <sys/diskslice.h> in,
the few places that needs them, have gotten explicit #includes for
them.
The disklabel inside struct disk is now only for internal use in
the disk mini-layer, so instead of embedding it, we malloc it as
we need it.
This concludes (modulus any mistakes) the series of disklabel related
commits.
I belive it all amounts to a NOP for all the rest of you :-)
