the x200s is too slow on a single core to keep up without
audio buffer underruns, so the idea is to flush screen
in parallel to witing audio samples in a separate process.
with the proc, we also can keep updating the screen on resize
when paused.
Based on OpenBSD driver:
- /sys/dev/pci/azalia.c rev 1.209
- /sys/dev/pci/pcidevs rev 1.1689
- only tested on amd64; machine is an Acer V5-573G
exact model: V5-573G-74518G1Takk
sed just continued writing past genbuf when it should stop
with "Output line too long".
quit when we get unspecified options.
stupid casts from long to char* for no reason.
some 0 vs nil cleanup.
traditionally, the pc kernel mapped the first 8MB of physical
address space. when the kernel size grows beyond that memory mapping,
it will crash on boot and theres no checking in the build process
making sure it fits.
with the pc64 kernel, it is not hard to always map the whole
kernel memory image from KZERO to end[], so that the kernel will
always fit into the initial mapping.
we can improve performance alot by using webfs which
does http keep alives for us, so connection setup
overhead is eleminated.
fix 9p flushes and double frees.
we can avoid some flickering when removing the software cursor
from the shadow framebuffer by avoiding the flushscreenimage()
call.
once the cursor is redrawn, we flush the combined rect of its
old and new position in one go.
werrstr() takes a format string as its first argument.
a common error is to pass user controlled string buffers
into werrstr() that might contain format string escapes
causing werrstr() to take bogus arguments from the stack
and crash.
so instead of doing:
werrstr(buf);
we want todo:
werrstr("%s", buf);
or if we have a local ERRMAX sized buffer that we can override:
errstr(buf, sizeof buf);
this fixes a potential format string problem where the
error string is passed to werrstr() as fmt. also, the
directory comparsion is simplified in this version using
a helper function.
when dial is called with a generic dialstring, it will try
/net and /net.alt in sequence. error out if the /net dial
gets interrupted and do not continue dialing /net.alt.
reduce stack usage by using the swaping nature of errstr()
instead of keeping two error string buffers on the stack.
theres a race where procstopwait() is interrupted by a note,
setting p->pdbg to nil *before* acquiering the lock and
and pexit() and procctl() accessing it assuming it doesnt
change under them while they are holding the lock.
previously, if dial was interrupted by an alarm or other note while connecting to a host that resolved to multiple ips, dial would ignore the interruption and try the next host. now dial properly returns with error when it is interrupted.
vmware in efi mode brings application processors up
with CR4 = 0 (pse disabled) which makes us page fault
when accessing the ap's pdb which might be in a 4MB
mapping when the boot processor used pse to setup
page tables.
so we unconditionally enable pse in apbootstrap
(and disable pae in case of surprises).
bug: as jpm pointed out, when we run aux/wpa in rio window
and delete the window, aux/wpa was killed as it shared the
note group of the window.
fix: fork the notegroup.
x230 booted in efi only (no csp) mode hangs
when traditional i8042reset() keyboard reset
is tried.
so we try acpireset() first which discoveres
and writes the acpi reset register.
instead of including kernel and config in the efi
fat image, we can just include the loaders and
read the plan9.ini and kernel from iso filesystem
just like the bios loaders.
the uartmini enable function used to override the baud
register so the effecive baudrate was always set to
115200 baud.
now the default baudrate of 9600 is set correctly and can
be changed in the console= boot parameter.
thanks aap and hiro for debugging, pizza and beer :)
having the memconf() (*e820=) last clutters the screen.
do it first, so we can read *acpi= and *bootscreen=
prints.
we want to continue using tftp even when the /cfg/pxe/$ether
file is not found. only when we detect no pxe/dhcp session,
then we switch to local filesystem (non-network boot).
to make it possible to mark the bootscreen framebuffer
as write combining in early initialization, mtrr() is
changed not not to error() but to return an error string.
as bootscreen() is used before multiprocessor initialization,
we have to synchronize the mtrr's for every processor as
it comes online. for this, a new mtrrsync() function is
provided that is called from cpuidentify() if mtrr support
is indicated.
the boot processor runs mtrrsync() which snarfs the
registers. later, mtrrsync() is run again from the
application processors which apply the values from the
boot processor.
checkmtrr() from mp.c was removed as its task is also
done by mtrrsync() now.
rampage() cannot be used after meminit(), so test for
conf.mem[0].npage != 0 and use xalloc()/mallocalign()
instead. this allows us to use vmap() early before
mmuinit() which is needed for bootscreeninit() and
acpi.
to get memory for page tables, pc64 needs a lowraminit().
with EFI, the RSDT pointer is passed in *acpi= parameter
from the efi loader. as the RSDT is ususally at the end of
the physical address space (and not to be found in
bios areas), we cannot KMAP() it so we need to vmap().
to get the right data size of a file, the revlog needs to have been
opened and the metaheader parsed. as an optimization, we used to
open revlog only on the first read resulting revlogs with metaheaders
having the wrong size returned by fstat() until the first read().
tar relies on fstat() giving the correct file size, so just open
the revlog on open. reading directories can still yield the wrong
size but it is not that critical.
there was a memory corruption bug caused by us enabling the
ps2mouseputc() handler *before* initializing packetsize.
once we enabled the handler, mouse interrupts could come
in and advance the packet buffer index (nb) beyond the
buffer boundaries.
as ps2mouseputc() only checked for ++nb == packetsize, once
nb was advanced beyond the packetsize, it would continue writing
beyond the buffer and corrupt memory with each mouse packet byte.
solution is to initialize packetsize *before* enabling the
handler, and also do a >= check in ps2mouseputc() in case the
packetsize gets changed to a smaller value at runtime.
we used to set RD flag in requests unconditionally, which
is fine by the standard but some dns server administrators
seem to use it as a denial of service indicator (for ther
non recursive authoritative nameservers) and ignore the
request.
so only set the RD flag when talking to local dns servers.
alexchandel got the kernel to crash with divide error
on qemu 2.1.2/macosx at this location. probably
caused by perfticks()/tsc being wrong or accounttime()
not having been called yet from timer interrupt yet for
some reason.
the syscall stubs (for amd64) currently have a unconditional
spill of the first (register) argument to the stack.
sysr1 (and _nsec) are exceptional in that they do not
take any arguments, so the stub is writing unconditionally
to ther first argument slot on the stack.
i could avoid emiting the spill in the syscall stubs for
sysr1 but that would also break truss which assumes fixed
instruction sequence from stub start to the syscall number.
i'm not going to complicate the syscall stubs just for
sysr1 (_nsec is not used in 9front), but just add a dummy
argument to sysr1 definition that can receive the bogus
argument spill.
