trackers do like the new default Mozilla/5.0 (compatible)
user agent. so force useragent to hjdicks and give option
to override it in case trackers get even more clever in
the future.
in dhcpwatch, the sleep time "secs" could become
zero potentially freezing the lease time.
give up when in Sinit state in dhcpquery() as this
is a terminal state.
from the specification:
software may reset the entire HBA by setting GHC.HR to '1'.
When software sets the GHC.HR bit to '1', the HBA shall perform
an internal reset action. The bit shall be cleared to '0'
by the HBA when the reset is complete.
sites like google return the wrong characterset when
they do not recognize the user-agent. so setting default
user agent to something thats likely to pass these
idiotic browser tests.
> warning: a.c:9 useless or misleading comparison: UINT < 0
the error can be observed by compiling the following code
with warnings enabled:
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
uint r;
void
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int r;
if(r < 0){
exits(0);
}
}
the offending code in the compiler is:
- if(l->op == ONAME && l->sym->type){
- lt = l->sym->type;
- if(lt->etype == TARRAY)
- lt = lt->link;
- }
compiler handles scope by overwritin and reverting
symbols while parsing. in the ccom phase, the nodes symbol
(n->sym) is not in the right scope and we wrongly think r
is uint instead of int.
it is not clear to me what this code tried to accomplish in
the first place nor could anyone answer me this question.
the risk is small as this change doesnt affect the compiled
program, only the warning, so removing the offending code.
the malloc pool allocator is limited in its allocation
size. as almost all data structures in cwfs are never
freed, use brk() in ialloc() instead of mallocalign().
this means memory returned by ialloc() cannot be freed!
to make sure we do not call free by accident, remove
the #define malloc(n) ialloc(n, 0) macro and use ialloc()
directly as in the original code to show the intend
of permanent allocations.
this was a big mistake. we should never attempt to
timeout or retry a scsi command from the controller
driver because theres no way to tell how long a
command would take or if a command has side effects
when being retried.
number of bank slots in Conf.mem[4] was too small
for kenjis machine, set it to maximum 16 (the
size of the RAM map in pc64/memory.c).
also increasing the UPA memory map to 64. the
e820 map on my x200s has 31 entries and many
holes. this gets rid of the "mapfree: ... losing"
messages on boot.
