For 64-bit architectures, the a.out header has the HDR_MAGIC flag set
in the magic and is expanded by 8 bytes containing the 64-bit virtual
address of the programs entry point. While Exec.entry contains physical
address for kernel images.
Our sysexec() would always use Exec.entry, even for 64-bit a.out binaries,
which worked because PADDR(entry) == entry for userspace pointers.
This change fixes it, having the kernel use the 64-bit entry point
and document the behaviour in the manpage.
The 9p debug server was broken as it assumed the first
tree file added would have a qid of 0 (it has a qid
of 1 as the root directory is using 0 already).
Instead, just compare File* pointers and get rid of
the table (less code).
When passing 64-bit unsigned addresses as 64-bit signed
file offsets, we have to make sure to not pass negative
offsets (filtered out by kernel and lib9p)!
This is solved by clearing and sign bit in encoding and
63-bit sign extension on decoding.
Make the mem file writable (needed for acid).
The 9p debug server provided a single directory containing
mem and regs files. This patch renames the regs file
(which is in vmx specific text format) to "xregs" and
adds "regs" and "kregs" file which use the same format
as exported by the kernels /proc filesystem.
This allows one to bind the vmx directory over a proc
directory and attach acid to a running system like:
mount -b /srv/vmx /proc/1
acid -k -lkernel 1 /sys/src/9/pc64/9pc64
If we tokenize the register file contents in a static buffer,
we can avoid having to duplicate the register names.
All callers to rpoke() provide constant register arguments
so they also do not need to be duplicated.

> It's impossible to get whois right and probably nobody cares about it,
> nevertheless this small patch fixes some issues with the current version:
>
> * use a more common filter for default boilerplate (useful when

> * updated boilerplate for *.co.uk *.net.uk *.org.uk
> * added case *.com *.net (got it from iana.org)
> * use ARIN for IPv6 addresses
> * when unsure, check first whether whois.nic.$tld exists otherwise
> usual fallback to InterNIC
> * fixed regexp for the referral chain (case, extra spaces or /)
- add usage handling.

cinap
games/dmid uses the same sample rate as the chip for music, but other
applications do not. opl3 and its older version opl2 (not in 9front)
read an input stream of commands in basically IMF format, something
used in other id Software games and some others, which assumes a
given input sampling rate: 700 Hz for Wolfenstein 3D music, 560 Hz
for Commander Keen, 60 Hz for Ultima 6, etc.
The opl3 emulation on the other hand is not really intended to run at
a sampling rate different that the chip's 49.716 kHz sampling rate.
Previously, we assumed it runs at 44.1 kHz and just used the input
rate as a divisor to get the number of samples per delay tic.
From what I understand, the correct way to use it for accurate
emulation is to run the opl chip emulator at its intended sampling
frequency, then downsample to 44.1 kHz. This means better output
but more code. The alternative is to basically do the same as
before rev 8433, except with no buffering, but at accuracy/quality
loss. This change implements the former and just forks pcmconv to
deal with resampling.
Now that we have these new functions,
we can also make them return an error
instead of calling sysfatal() like
postmountsrv().
Remove the confusing Srv.srvfd, as it
is only temporarily used and return
it from postsrv() instead.
To use srvrease()/srvaquire() we need to have a way to spawn
new processes to handle the service loop. This functionality
was provided by the internal _forker() function which was
eigther rfork or libthread based implementation depending on
if postmountsrv() or threadpostmountsrv() where called.
For servers who want to use srv() directly, _forker would not
be initialized so srvrelease() could not be used.
To untangle this, we get rid of the global _forker handler
and put the handler in the Srv structure. Which will get
initialized (when nil) to eigther srvforker() or threadsrvforker()
depending on if the thread or non-thread entry points where used.
For symmetry, we provde new threadsrv() and threadpostsrv()
functions which handle the default initialization of Srv.forker.
This also allows a user to provide his own forker function,
maybe to conserve stack space.
To avoid dead code, we put each of these function in their
own object file. Note, this also allows a user to define its
own srvforker() symbol.
this fixes real-time applications.
-n previously specified a rate divisor rather than the rate itself,
which was used for specific applications outside of 9front. instead,
just set the rate directly, more useful and straightforward.
Remove unused fields and factor common fields into a
new PMach struct in port/portdat.h.
The fields machno, splpc and proc are not moved to
PMach as they are part of the known offsets from
assembly (l.s).
Resample is well known for taking a long time to resize an image. This
patch brings an important performance boost (in my test image, time
was reduced from ~2850ms to ~500ms). It does that by extracting FP
multiplication and division out of the innermost loop of
resamplex/resampley.
The results differ slightly from the current implementation: in my
test: ~0.3% of the bytes had a ±2 difference in their value, which I
attribute to rounding errors. I'm personally not concerned with that
deviation, given the performance gains. However, I recommend testing
it just to be sure I didn't overlook anything.
