we cannot call gc() in execute() because it will gc
anonyous intermediate results which happens when we
construct a list and the elements are calculated by
calling a function thru ocall() which calls execute().
also, the _thiscmd symbol; which is used to keep
a reference to a statement so it wont get garbage
collected; does not work as yyparse() is recursive
(include statements).
we add execrec() function which *only* gets called from
yyparse() when evaluating a statement. it will
keep a stack on the _thiscmd symbol handling the yyparse()
recursion.
we also only call gc() in execrec() before calling
execute(). so execute() will never gc() while evaluating
a statement which prevents the intermediate results
from getting collected.
file offset is 64 bit signed integer, negative offsets
are invalid and rejected by the kernel. to still access
kernel memory on amd64, we unconditionally clear the sign
bit of the 64 bit offset in libmach and devproc sign
extends the offset back to a 64 bit address.
when using the jpg(1) programs interactively, draw the
image in the center of it. this avoids wasting space
with always on borders on small windows and looks better
when used in fullscreen.
on intel processors, a general protection exception is fired if a non-canonical address is loaded into PC during SYSRET. this will cause the kernel to panic.
see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/649219 and the intel software developer manual for more information.
kmapindex has to be per process, not per mach, as the process
can be switched to another processor while the mapping is
established.
to bootstrap the first process, we have to temporarily set up
so the kmap MMU's can be attached to the process. previously
we assumed that the first two pages for the initial process
where below 2GB and could be accessed with KADDR() directly.
with 16GB machine, all the 2GB above KZERO are dedicated to
the kernel so the user pages returned by newpage() need to
be mapped.
no need for switch here, just calculate the values. also fixes
6l warning about uninitialized min/max (compiler assumes none
of the case statements could match).
this doubling affects all segment types, not just bss.
(tho text/data are usually small...)
and theres no telling if the segment will actually
grow in the future justifying the reduction of memmove
overhead in ibrk().
some ape programs are approaching the 16mb ssegmap size
so that code might trigger.
removing the smarts...
we have to keep kmap page tables in ther own list
because user tables are subject to (virtual) tlb flushing.
we never free kmap page tables except in mmurelease()
where we just link the kmap mmu list in front of the user
mmus and call mmufree() which will free all the mmu's
of the process.
as erik quanstro suggests, theres not much of a point in
storing the full 64bit pc as one cannot get a code segment
bigger than 4G and amd64 makes it hard to use a pc that
isnt 64bit sign extension of 32bit.
instead, we only store ulong (as originally), but sign
extend back when returning in getmalloctag() and
getrealloctag().
getrealloctag() used to be broken. its now fixed.
this change is in preparation for amd64. the systab calling
convention was also changed to return uintptr (as segattach
returns a pointer) and the arguments are now passed as
va_list which handles amd64 arguments properly (all arguments
are passed in 64bit quantities on the stack, tho the upper
part will not be initialized when the element is smaller
than 8 bytes).
this is partial. xalloc needs to be converted in the future.
when user does read of exactly 12*12 bytes on draw
ctl file, the snprint() adds one more \0 byte writing
beyond the user buffer and corrupting memory.
fix this by not snprint()ing the final space and add
it manually.
according to a comment in linux driver, reading Isrc2
register caused interrupts to be disabled. we used
to read Isrc2 in ifstat() and it was confirmed that
reading ifstat locks up ethernet. removing the Isrc2
read in ifstats, and also reenable interrupts after
reading Isrc2 when the interrupt was not for us.
(this is from the linux driver)
in replenish(), set ring software write pointer (Sring.wp)
*before* the hardware write index register. otherwise
rx() could get status notification for completed
receive but wont find the rx descriptor in the ring.
handle uint wrap arround when calculating ring fill
count and remaining count.
the stats and ifstats files in the 3rd level of a netif
are not per connection, but for the interface.
this made fstat fail for /net/ether0/N/*stats where N > 0
as the NETID() bits in the qid didnt compare.
