kstrcpy() did not null terminate for < 4 byte buffers. fixed,
but i dont think there is any case where this can happen in
practice.
always set malloctag in kstrdup(), cleanup.
always use ERRMAX bounded kstrcpy() to set up->errstr, q->err
and note[]->msg. paranoia.
instead of silently truncating interface name in netifinit(),
panic the kernel if interface name is too long as this case
is clearly a mistake.
panic kernel when filename is too long for addbootfile() in
devroot. this might happen if your kernel configuration is
messed up.
When running "?c -p ...", ensure the backend cpp recognizes C++ comments.
2c(1) states that the compilers recognize // comments, and the bare compilers
do. But if you invoke the compiler with '-p', the backend cpp process
doesn't handle // comments properly unless you also give ?c the undocumented
'-+' option (which it passes through to cpp).
in devproc status read handler the p->status, p->text and p->user
could overflow the local statbuf buffer as they where copied into
it with code like: memmove(statbuf+someoff, p->text, strlen(p->text)).
now using readstr() which will truncate if the string is too long.
make strncpy() usage consistent, make sure results are always null
terminated.
use fastclock timer (pit2) to measure cpufreq in guesscpuhz(). this
gives a bigger period minimizing the danger of overrun as pit2 runs
at the constant maximum period of 0x10000 ticks. also use smaller
loop increments (1000) and bigger maximum loop upper bound.
move the loops < ... check to the bottom of the loop so we get the
effective count *before* adding the next loop increment.
ilock() while doing measurements in guesscpuhz() to prevent accidents
with other processors reading fastclock or doing guesscpuhz()
in parralel.
export new i8253reset() function for apm to reset the timers after
a apm bios suspend.
we have to acquire p->seglock before we lock the individual
segments of the process and lock them. if we dont then pexit()
might free the segments before we can lock them causing the
"qunlock called with qlock not held, from ..." prints.
