the boolcopy optimization doesnt doesnt use Buffer.alpha, tho
the debug function dumpbuf() still can dereference it. to keep
it simple, always have Buffer.alpha point to the channel or
&ones when not used.
previously ircrc dialed through /net itself and resolved ips on its own. this prevented the use of an ip address, and also prevented use of ipv6. now you can use an ip, or a dns name that resolves to ipv6. the -T flag is also added to use tlsclient for encrypted connections.
At least on some NVIDIA cards the default scaling mode makes
black borders visible on all sides, even on native resolution.
This patch adds a generic "scaling MODE" command to vgactl
and adds support for it on VESA through NVIDIA VBE OEM extension.
It hasn't been tested on any other video cards, but shouldn't
break anything as the scaling mode is only set on write to vgactl.
we have to call tmpmap() with interrupts disabled as the map
is a per cpu and a interrupt can preempt us while we where
commited to use a entry but *before* we wrote it!
tmpunmap() already calls coherence() before flushpg() so it
is not needed after tmpunmap().
splhi() in l2free() isnt needed as l2free() is always called
with interrupts disabled from mmuswitch() and mmurelease().
fpsave needs to disable the fpu! otherwise we won't catch
the mathtrap() in the kernel or when context switching to
another process that will attempt to use it.
intrdisable() will always be able to unregister the interrupt
now, so there is no reason to have it return an error value.
all drivers except uart8250 already assumed it to never fail
and theres no need to maintain that complexity.
other operating systems always set the "don't fragment" bit
in ther outgoing ipv4 packets causing us to unnecesarily
call ip4reassemble() looking for a fragment reassembly queue.
the change excludes the "don't fragment" bit from the test
so we now call ip4reassemble() only when the "more fragmens"
bit is set or a fragment offset other than zero is given.
this optimization was discovered from akaros.
