this is a new more simple version of the mount cache
that does not require dynamic allocations for extends.
the Mntcache structure now contains a page bitmap
that is used for quick page invalidation. the size
of the bitmap is proportional to MAXCACHE.
instead of keeping track of cached range in the
Extend data structure, we keep all the information
in the Page itself. the offset from the page where
the cache range starts is in the low PGSHIT bits and
the end in the top bits of Page.va.
we choose Page.daddr to map 1:1 the Mountcache number
and page number (pn) in the Mountcache. to find a page,
we first check the bitmap if the page is there and then
do a pagelookup() with the daddr key.
change page cache ids (bid) to uintptr so we use the full
address space of Page.daddr.
make maxcache offset check consistent in cread().
use consistent types in cupdate() and simplify with goto.
make internal functions static.
use nil instead of 0 for pointers.
there is no use for "bootdisk" variable parametrization
of /boot/boot and no point for the boot section with its
boot methods in the kernel configuration anymore. so
mkboot and boot$CONF.out are gone.
move the rules for bootfs.paq creation in 9/boot/bootmkfile.
location of bootfs.proto is now in 9/boot/bootfs.proto.
our /boot/boot target is now just "boot".
expand the list of files specified in bootfs.proto and use them
as dependencies to bootfs.paq rule. this way, bootfs.paq is
regenerated when the to be included files have been modified.
the utf8 buffers b1 where allocated from fbufalloc() which gives
us BUFSIZE bytes, but Xfid->count can be bigger than that. so just
emalloc() the requested number of bytes.
when converting from Runes to utf-8, we have to account for the
terminating '\0' byte snprint() places, so fix the maxrune number
calculation instead of using BUFSIZE+1 as buffer size.
A buffer can be overflowed in the init function of kbmap.c by using a filename of more than 112 characters.
sample output:
% cd /sys/lib/kbmap
% touch aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
% kbmap
kbmap 1974: suicide: sys: trap: fault write addr=0xa6a96510 pc=0x000011df
offending code is most likely the call to sprint in the init function of /sys/src/cmd/kbmap.c,
which in this case writes /sys/lib/kbmap/$file to a 128-bit buffer.
I'm willing to submit a patch for this myself along with a few minor improvements/fixes to kbmap
if I can figure out the nuances of doing so.
--silasm
factotum is started in bootrc before the network is setup
(as we need it to negotiate wpa key for wifi). once, the network
is setup, the bootstrap authservers are passed in /net/ndb,
which factotum reads when doing bootstrap authdial. it does
this only when no authserver was specified earlier! but we
want net.rc to select the proper bootstrap authserver...
the $secstore variable takes precedence over $auth. as
there is no connection server yet, we have to select the set
of servers here and pass them to secstore with -s flag.
note that this will work if multiple addresses where
specified.
bug: Rnointerrupt was used on Vqueue.used.flags instead of
Vqueue.avail.flags.
introduce vqnotify() function that notifies the device
about available ring advancement.
avoid queue notifications there that can be slow by
checking Unonotify flag in Vqueue.used.flags.
keep track of the number of notifications in the queue.
- properly negotiate Fctrlrx feature bit for promisc and multicast.
- allow setting mac address with ea= option from plan9.ini
- dont read the isr register from ifstats() as it has the side effect of reseting isr status
- embedd the Vqueue array in the Ctlr structure avoiding indirection
- add a interrupt counter Vqueue.nintr for statistical purposes
- only read network status register if the feature has been negotiated
- change name to "virtio" as "ethervirtio" is kind of redundant
continue recursing when we get empty but non-negative answer

note the authoritative flag in the first response from ns1.wordpress.com that
would otherwise terminate the search.
add vctlcmd() function to setup and comlete control commands.
handle Vctlq and implement promiscuous and multicast mode commands.
remove Vqueue.block[] and Vqueue.header. these are not properties
of the queue (Vctlq as no block array).
the block[] array only needs to be half the queue size as we use
two descriptors per packet.
fix broken shutdown() and remove useless ctl() function.
when we hit a conflict where the pci INTL register gives us
a different irq than we get from southbridge irq router, dont
just change the router setting to the bios assigned irq (that
was previously known as the BIOS workarround), but assume the
southbridge setting to be valid and change the pci INTL register
on the device to it.
only when the router link doesnt seem to be configured or
disabled, then program the router to the irq that bios asisgned
in the INTL register.
the reason is that changing the router setting changes the
irq routing for *all* devices on the same link and changing
it breaks previously checked and valid interrupt routings.
(so happend with virtualbox where the last device on the bus
is some powermanagement device that has wrong INTL setting
and changing the routing breaks the ethernet interrupts)
this change shouldnt affect modern machines which use ioapic
and mp tables or acpi for pci interrupt routing.
we add new function convmemsize() that returns the size of
*usable* conventional memory that does some sanity checking
and reserves the last KB below the top of memory pointer.
this avoids lowraminit() overriding potential bios tables
and sigsearch() going off the rails looking for tables
at above 640K.
the x200s is too slow on a single core to keep up without
audio buffer underruns, so the idea is to flush screen
in parallel to witing audio samples in a separate process.
with the proc, we also can keep updating the screen on resize
when paused.
Based on OpenBSD driver:
- /sys/dev/pci/azalia.c rev 1.209
- /sys/dev/pci/pcidevs rev 1.1689
- only tested on amd64; machine is an Acer V5-573G
exact model: V5-573G-74518G1Takk
sed just continued writing past genbuf when it should stop
with "Output line too long".
quit when we get unspecified options.
stupid casts from long to char* for no reason.
some 0 vs nil cleanup.
traditionally, the pc kernel mapped the first 8MB of physical
address space. when the kernel size grows beyond that memory mapping,
it will crash on boot and theres no checking in the build process
making sure it fits.
with the pc64 kernel, it is not hard to always map the whole
kernel memory image from KZERO to end[], so that the kernel will
always fit into the initial mapping.
we can improve performance alot by using webfs which
does http keep alives for us, so connection setup
overhead is eleminated.
fix 9p flushes and double frees.
we can avoid some flickering when removing the software cursor
from the shadow framebuffer by avoiding the flushscreenimage()
call.
once the cursor is redrawn, we flush the combined rect of its
old and new position in one go.
werrstr() takes a format string as its first argument.
a common error is to pass user controlled string buffers
into werrstr() that might contain format string escapes
causing werrstr() to take bogus arguments from the stack
and crash.
so instead of doing:
werrstr(buf);
we want todo:
werrstr("%s", buf);
or if we have a local ERRMAX sized buffer that we can override:
errstr(buf, sizeof buf);
this fixes a potential format string problem where the
error string is passed to werrstr() as fmt. also, the
directory comparsion is simplified in this version using
a helper function.
when dial is called with a generic dialstring, it will try
/net and /net.alt in sequence. error out if the /net dial
gets interrupted and do not continue dialing /net.alt.
reduce stack usage by using the swaping nature of errstr()
instead of keeping two error string buffers on the stack.
theres a race where procstopwait() is interrupted by a note,
setting p->pdbg to nil *before* acquiering the lock and
and pexit() and procctl() accessing it assuming it doesnt
change under them while they are holding the lock.
previously, if dial was interrupted by an alarm or other note while connecting to a host that resolved to multiple ips, dial would ignore the interruption and try the next host. now dial properly returns with error when it is interrupted.
vmware in efi mode brings application processors up
with CR4 = 0 (pse disabled) which makes us page fault
when accessing the ap's pdb which might be in a 4MB
mapping when the boot processor used pse to setup
page tables.
so we unconditionally enable pse in apbootstrap
(and disable pae in case of surprises).
bug: as jpm pointed out, when we run aux/wpa in rio window
and delete the window, aux/wpa was killed as it shared the
note group of the window.
fix: fork the notegroup.
x230 booted in efi only (no csp) mode hangs
when traditional i8042reset() keyboard reset
is tried.
so we try acpireset() first which discoveres
and writes the acpi reset register.
instead of including kernel and config in the efi
fat image, we can just include the loaders and
read the plan9.ini and kernel from iso filesystem
just like the bios loaders.
the uartmini enable function used to override the baud
register so the effecive baudrate was always set to
115200 baud.
now the default baudrate of 9600 is set correctly and can
be changed in the console= boot parameter.
thanks aap and hiro for debugging, pizza and beer :)
having the memconf() (*e820=) last clutters the screen.
do it first, so we can read *acpi= and *bootscreen=
prints.
we want to continue using tftp even when the /cfg/pxe/$ether
file is not found. only when we detect no pxe/dhcp session,
then we switch to local filesystem (non-network boot).
to make it possible to mark the bootscreen framebuffer
as write combining in early initialization, mtrr() is
changed not not to error() but to return an error string.
as bootscreen() is used before multiprocessor initialization,
we have to synchronize the mtrr's for every processor as
it comes online. for this, a new mtrrsync() function is
provided that is called from cpuidentify() if mtrr support
is indicated.
the boot processor runs mtrrsync() which snarfs the
registers. later, mtrrsync() is run again from the
application processors which apply the values from the
boot processor.
checkmtrr() from mp.c was removed as its task is also
done by mtrrsync() now.
rampage() cannot be used after meminit(), so test for
conf.mem[0].npage != 0 and use xalloc()/mallocalign()
instead. this allows us to use vmap() early before
mmuinit() which is needed for bootscreeninit() and
acpi.
to get memory for page tables, pc64 needs a lowraminit().
with EFI, the RSDT pointer is passed in *acpi= parameter
from the efi loader. as the RSDT is ususally at the end of
the physical address space (and not to be found in
bios areas), we cannot KMAP() it so we need to vmap().
to get the right data size of a file, the revlog needs to have been
opened and the metaheader parsed. as an optimization, we used to
open revlog only on the first read resulting revlogs with metaheaders
having the wrong size returned by fstat() until the first read().
tar relies on fstat() giving the correct file size, so just open
the revlog on open. reading directories can still yield the wrong
size but it is not that critical.
there was a memory corruption bug caused by us enabling the
ps2mouseputc() handler *before* initializing packetsize.
once we enabled the handler, mouse interrupts could come
in and advance the packet buffer index (nb) beyond the
buffer boundaries.
as ps2mouseputc() only checked for ++nb == packetsize, once
nb was advanced beyond the packetsize, it would continue writing
beyond the buffer and corrupt memory with each mouse packet byte.
solution is to initialize packetsize *before* enabling the
handler, and also do a >= check in ps2mouseputc() in case the
packetsize gets changed to a smaller value at runtime.
we used to set RD flag in requests unconditionally, which
is fine by the standard but some dns server administrators
seem to use it as a denial of service indicator (for ther
non recursive authoritative nameservers) and ignore the
request.
so only set the RD flag when talking to local dns servers.
alexchandel got the kernel to crash with divide error
on qemu 2.1.2/macosx at this location. probably
caused by perfticks()/tsc being wrong or accounttime()
not having been called yet from timer interrupt yet for
some reason.
the syscall stubs (for amd64) currently have a unconditional
spill of the first (register) argument to the stack.
sysr1 (and _nsec) are exceptional in that they do not
take any arguments, so the stub is writing unconditionally
to ther first argument slot on the stack.
i could avoid emiting the spill in the syscall stubs for
sysr1 but that would also break truss which assumes fixed
instruction sequence from stub start to the syscall number.
i'm not going to complicate the syscall stubs just for
sysr1 (_nsec is not used in 9front), but just add a dummy
argument to sysr1 definition that can receive the bogus
argument spill.
devip can only handle Maskconv+1 conversations per
protocol depending on how many bits it uses in the
qid to encode the conversation number.
we check this when the protocol gets registered.
if we do not do this, the kernel will mysteriously
panic when the conversaion numbers collide which
took some time to debug.
the numbers from /dev/sysstat overflow on 32bit, so have
to do subtraction modulo 2^32 as we calculate with 64bit
integers.
thanks mischief for reporting this.
WHAT WHERE THEY *THINKING*??!?!
unlike seek, the (new) nsec syscall (not used in 9front libc)
returns the time value in register (from nix), so do the same
for compatibility.
memfillcolor() used to write longs in host byte
order which is wrong. have to always use little
endian.
to simplify, moved little endian conversion into
memsetl() and memsets() avoiding code duplication.
file->parent can be nil when the file has been previously removed.
removefile() deals with this, so skip the permission check in
that case and let removefile() error out.
some of us run auth servers from home that are used by multiple
servers on the internet. when the home authserver becomes unreachable,
services on the outside servers stop working. so we thought about
specifing a secondary auth servers for backup when the primary
server is not reachable.
this changes authdial() to consult multiple auth= entries in
the authdom= or dom= tuples, trying each one in order until
dial() succeeds.
from segattach(2):
Va and len specify the position of the segment in the
process's address space. Va is rounded down to the nearest
page boundary and va+len is rounded up. The system does not
permit segments to overlap. If va is zero, the system will
choose a suitable address.
just rounding up len isnt enougth. we have to round up va+len
instead of just len so that the span [va, va+len) is covered
even if va is not page aligned.
kenjis example:
print("%p\n",ap); // 206cb0
ap = segattach(0, "shared", ap, 1024);
print("%p\n",ap); // 206000

RFC2104 defines HMAC for keys bigger than the 64 byte block
size as follows:
Applications that use keys longer than B (64) bytes will
first hash the key using H (the hash function) and then
use the resultant L byte string as the actual key to HMAC.
this is a work in progress implementation of the ayiya (anything
in anything) protocol as used by sixxs.net. hiro tested it and it
worked for him, but progress has stalled as sixxs.net rejected my
request for an account and ignored my emails since.
