Passwd used to produce a very confusing error
about DES not being enabled whenever the password
was mistyped. This happened because we attempted
to guess what authentication method to use, and
preseneted the error from the wrong one on failure.
This puts the legacy mode behind a flag, so that
we don't even try the old method unless it's
explicitly requested.
This adds the new function pointer PCArch.clockinit(),
which is a timer dependent initialization routine.
It also takes over the job of guesscpuhz(). This way, the
architecture ident code can switch between different
timers (i8253, HPET and XEN timer).
Revert the change, as it causes system lockups on bootup
on some systems with USB OHCI controllers, suspected to be
caused by BIOS/SMM accessing the device as BIOS handover
has not been executed yet.
We might bring that back when the problem has is better
understood.
when loading large binaries such as netsurf, with many
symbols, our hash table fills up with collisions and
loading the symbol table gets very slow. Bumping it up
drops the time to lstk() in acid on netsurf from 4 minutes
to 8 seconds.
Call exits(0) instead of returning from main. Also call sysfatal if
writing of image data fails. Previously, qr(1) would exit with
default non-nil status "main" unconditionally as a result of returning
from main.
/$objtype/include/ape/math.h contained an almost
identical copy of math.h for each architecture.
The only difference between them architectures
was that some had an incorrect version of isinf
defined.
This change picks one of the versions of math.h
with a correct definition, moves it to /sys/include,
and removes the redundant versions.
Tilting allows using left/right rotated or invetrted display orientation.
This can be changed at runtime such as: echo tilt right > /dev/vgactl
This removes the old panning and vga overlays as they are only implemented
with some ancient vga controllers.
The idea is to avoid the magic files that contain
per process information in devcons when possible.
It will make it easier to deprecate them in the future.
Previously, mmurelease() was always called with
palloc spinlock held.
This is unneccesary for some mmurelease()
implementations as they wont release pages
to the palloc pool.
This change removes pagechainhead() and
pagechaindone() and replaces them with just
freepages() call, which aquires the palloc
lock internally as needed.
freepages() avoids holding the palloc lock
while walking the linked list of pages,
avoding some lock contention.

we might as well handle the per process cycle
counter in the portable part instead of duplicating the code
in every arch and have inconsistent implementations.
we now have a portable kenter() and kexit() function,
that is ment to be used in trap/syscall from user,
which updates the counters.
some kernels missed initializing Mach.cyclefreq.
Provide a central function to change the user id
of the calling process.
This is mostly used by programs to become the none
user, followed by a call to newns().
vt sets several environment variables ($TERM, $COLS, $LINES)
after exiting. This change rforks the environment so that this
detritus doesn't get left behind.
Using strlen in strndup will walk past the first
n bytes up to the terminator, which may not be
present. This is not what we want.
While we're here, do some cleanups.
hget supports adding custom headers with -r;
it makes sense for hpost to do the same, both
because custom headers are more likely necessary
with POSTs, and for consistency.
the tulip driver is used in microsofts hypver-v
as the legacy ethernet adapter for pxe booting.
to make the driver work on pc64, we need to
store the Block* pointers in a separate array
instead of stuffing them into buffer address 2
of the hardware descriptor.
also, enable the driver in the pc64 kernel.
The initial protocol handling in exportfs for
cpu and import services is a huge mess.
Saparate the code out into its own program with
its own oexportfs(4) manpage.
The OCEXEC flag used to be maintained per channel,
making it shared between all the file desciptors.
This has a unexpected side effects with regard to
channel passing drivers such as devdup (/fd),
devsrv (/srv) and devshr (/shr).
For example, opening a /srv file with OCEXEC
makes it impossible to be remounted by exportfs
as it internally does a exec() to mount and
re-export it. There is no way to reset the flag.
This change makes the OCEXEC flag per file descriptor,
so a open with the OCEXEC flag only affects the fd
group of the calling process, and not the channel
itself.
On rfork(RFFDG), the per file descriptor flags get
copied.
On dup(), the per file descriptor flags are reset.
The second modification is that /fd, /srv and /shr
should reject the ORCLOSE flag, as the files that
are returned have already been opend.
enable pci busmaster before set the fis-receive-enable
bit in the port command register.
not doing so triggers a crash in qemu like:
address_space_unmap: Assertion `mr != NULL' failed.
as qemu tries to process the dma command list as soon
as we set that flag and busmaster dma needs to be enabled
at this point.
Bhyve returns 0 in MTRRCap register, so we
can use that instead on relying on cpuid only
to see if MTRR's are supported.
That way we can get rid of the sanity check
in memory.c.
Opening a /srv file sets the close-on-exec flag on the
shared channel breaking the exportfs openmount() hack.
The devsrv tries to prevent posting a channel with the
close-on-exec or remove-on-close flags. but nothing
currently prevents this poisoning on open.
Until this gets fixed in eigther exportfs or devsrv,
i'll back out the changes that could have potential side
effects like this.
