make kbdproc() and mouseproc() share fd table with the main proc
and not explicitely close the file descriptors. so /dev/mouse gets
closed *after* /dev/draw/new to avoid the white window refresh issue.
apparently, this causes some quadcore ramnode vm to hang on boot,
even tho all cores successfully started up and are operational.
i suspect some side effect from timersinit()... this would also
mean *notsc= would break it (syncclock() would continue)...
its unclear.
i'm reverting this for now until the problem is better understood.
when testing in qemu, launching each ap became slower and slower
because all the ap's where spinning in syncclock() waiting for
cpu0 to update its mach0->tscticks, which happens only much later
after all cpu's have been started up.
now we wait for each cpu to do its timer callibration and
manually update our tscticks while we wait and each cpu will
not spin but halt while waiting for active.thunderbirdsarego.
this reduces the system load and noise for timer callibration
and makes the mp startup linear with regard to the number of
cores.
the shared command language assumed 512 byte sectors, which is
not the case for fdisk as it uses cylinders for the block unit.
so we introduce an extra argument in the Edit structure and
parseexpr() function so byte sizes are properly converted to
the block unit when the K,M,G and T postfixes are used.
the pcap files produced by snoopy had the wrong timestamps because it expected:
/* magic=0xa1b2c3d4 */
ulong ts_sec; /* seconds*/
ulong ts_usec; /* microseconds */
but we wrote:
uvlong ts; /* nanoseconds */
now, we write:
/* magic=0xa1b23c4d */
ulong ts_sec; /* seconds */
ulong ts_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
