specifing -d on the command line now only disables synchronous
drawing events.
- use threaded mouse and keyboard to allow for asynchronous
receoption of quit messages. this allows plot to exit before drawing
is completed. for programs like mapdemo, this is important.
there were two things that needed to get fixed as a result
- replace fprint(2, ...); exits("bad"); with sysfatal. also get rid
of stdio.
- dpoint needed a mach-dependentent (sic) version. otherwise
points on a resized screen will not be properly placed.

In a few cases, the kernel will use pprint to put a diagnostic on the
standard error (file descriptor 2). One of those is a warning that the
process has used more than 100 file descriptors. That message is possibly
obsolete and could be removed, but there are others, such as notifying an
uncaught trap that are probably helpful to make visible. In any case, as
things stand, a busy exportfs might have many file descriptors open,
provoking the diagnostic. Unfortunately, aux/listen and aux/listen1 connect
file descriptor 2 to the incoming network connection. If the connection's
protocol is not a simple, unstructured, textual one, diagnostics on the
standard error will cause confusion, in particular to devmnt.c if 9p is used.
/rc/bin/service files that start applications that run special protocols
might want to redirect file descriptor 2; alternatively, perhaps aux/listen
shouldn't redirect fd 2 by default: the few commands that do connect the remote
user to shells, or equivalent, including telnetd and sshd could dup 1 to 2
when that was sensible.
the software cursor starts flickering and reacts bumby if a process
spends most of its time with drawlock acquired because the timer interrupt
thats supposed to redraw the cursor fails to acquire the lock at the time
the timer fires.
instead of trying to draw the cursor on the screen from a timer interrupt
30 times per second, devmouse now creates a process calling cursoron() and
cursoroff() when the cursor needs to be redrawn. this allows the swcursor
to schedule a redraw while holding the drawlock in swcursoravoid() and
cursoron()/cursoroff() are now able to wait for a qlock (drawlock) because
they get called from process context.
the overall responsiveness is also improved with this change as the cursor
redraw rate isnt limited to 30 times a second anymore.
from ehci spec:
The buffer pointer list in the qTD is long enough to support a maximum
transfer size of 20K bytes. This case occurs when all five buffer pointers
are used and the first offset is zero. A qTD handles a 16Kbyte buffer
with any starting buffer alignment.
overriding aborttime in udpquery() makes no sense. it causes
recursive queries to extend the timeout infinitely. nobody
but the issuer of the request should modify aborttime.
*alen has to be initialized to the size of the buffer
by the caller, and we are supposed to put the real
size of the address in there, but not copy more than
the original *alen value (truncate).
in wpa2, the rsc field of the eapol message3 is the packet number for
*group* messages that the ap will use as there is no separate group
key message. in wpa1, we use it for the peerwise key.
the kernel uses fixed area (TSTKTOP, TSTKSIZ) of the address
space to temporarily map the new stack segment for exec. for
386 and arm, this area was right below the stack segment which
has the problem that the program can map arbitrary segments
there (even readonly).
alpha and ppc dont have this problem as they map the temporary
exec stack *above* the user reachable stack segement and segattach
prevents one from mapping anything above or overlaping the stack.
lots of arch code assumes USTKTOP being the end of userspace
address space and changing this to TSTKTOP would work, but results
in lots of hard to test changes.
instead, we'r going to map the temporary stack programmatically
finding a hole in the address space where to map it. we also lift
the size limitation for arguments and allow arguments to fill
the whole new stack segement.
the TSTKTOP and TSTKSIZ are not used anymore so they where removed.

store errno on the private process stack so its always per process
and not just per memory space. errno itself becomes a macro
dereferencing int *_errnoloc; which is initialized from main9.s
pointing to the private stack location.
various fixes in programs that just imported errno variable with
"extern int errno;" instead of including <errno.h>.
in ape close(), do the real filedescriptor _CLOSE() *after* we cleared
the _fdinfo[] slot because once closed, we dont own the slot anymore and
another process doing open() can trash the slot. make sure open() retuns
fd < OPEN_MAX.
double check in _startbuf() holding mux->lock if the fd is already buffered
preveting running double copyprocs on a fd.
dont zero the mux->rwant/ewant bitmaps at the end of select() as we do not
hold the mix->lock.
in _closebuf() kill copyproc while holding the mux->lock to make sure the
copyproc isnt holding it at the time it is killed. run kill() multiple times
to make sure the proc is gone.
python uses processes sharing memory. it requires at least fopen() to
be called by multiple threads at once so we introduce _IO_newfile()
which allocates the FILE structure slot under a lock.
diskparts fails on thinkpad x200 sdcard reader if we dont
give the unit some time to startup. the device took about
100ms to become ready so status poll loop with a long
timeout would be overkill.
1. Go group spotted that a slightly-obscured pointer move was done by AMOVL not AMOVQ.
2. Inspecting the code further, I noticed that other pointer types were set to TLONG not TIND,
causing similar truncation of pointers to 32 bits.
add PASS_MAX to limits.h for ape, and make getpass respect it. also increase the size of
the maximum passwords (we use long ones at work). Needed for native port of SVN (in progress).
the kernel would go into endless loop when stating "stats" and "ifstats"
files and the network interface having no connections, or otherwise return
wrong stat info.
boot(8) claims that boot will launch /$objtype/init;
that is incorrect. It launches /$cputype/init (so says
both boot.c and cpurc(8)). That's the more sensible
choice. This patch fixes the man page to resolve the
mismatch.
the channel= plan9.ini parameter isnt needed anymore as we now
hop the channels to scan for beacons. the status is also indicated
with the link led :-)
handle all these flags on packet transmission like RTS for big
packets and sending data packets to the AP instead of broadcasting
everything.
properly setup bss hardware node table and filtering. now promisc
mode is only used when requested.
handle deauth message from ap.
increase node table to 32 entries.
Fix the behavior of exportfs -r.
Check the return of chdir(srv) to prevent exporting accidentally
the current working directory when the directory specified
with option -r doesn't exist.
Also fix at the same time the missing trailing \n in error
messages printed just before exits().
we gave wrong content-length in range requests. r->stop - r->start
is wrong because r->stop is the byte offset of the *last* byte, not
the *next* byte after the last.
Another band-aid fix to the usb mouse driver, to cope with a mouse which has
an interrupt endpoint number 3 but no number 1 or 2, and a report descriptor
more than 128 bytes long.
use the Srv.end callback for freeing the srv and closing the
file descriptor of a connection. this makes sure we wont free
the srv while there are still outstanding requests that would
access the srv when doing the respond() call.
we used to do getbuf() with nodata flag so it only worked when
we where lucky and got the same in memory block back. this
is uncritical once you have reamed the filesystem, its just
that sometimes ream would fail with "ream successfull, then
hjfs: fsinit: file ./hjfs not found".
in multithreaded programs, we have to wait until all outstanding
requests have been responded before closing down the srv.
dont make write errors sysfatal(), only print them. in case if
listensrv() is used we dont want to exit the process in respond()
called by some worker thread.
make sure Tversion is only handled when there are no outstanding
requests and make sure message size is sane.
on almost all machines, we get tons of these prints for pci busses that
are not physically there but are described in the ACPI namespace. the
reason that we enumerate these is because we do not enumerate _INI and _STA
methods to check if they are present. we just match the information with
the PCI devices we enumerated with our generic pci code. this works fine and
doesnt require aml code to poke arround in pci config space.
some controls are inverted. we reflect this by specifying
negative range in the volume table now and let genaudiovolread()
and genaudiovolwrite() do the conversion.
this makes sure tcp boot will have ther user /tmp's
the same way as from local cwfs. we used /srv/cwfs
to prevent a deadlock with 9660srv as a root filesystem
which has been fixed now.
we have to run the 9p service process in its own namespace
otherwise the attach filename might point onto the served
filesystem causing it to deadlock. this happens especially
if 9660srv is used as root filesystem. (cdboot)
set adc (recording) sample rate the same as playback for now.
make these separate entries later when we reintroduce in/out
attributes to volume controls.
access to non standard serial port COM3 at i/o port 0x200 causes
kernel panic on some machines (Toshiba Sattelite 1415-S115). also,
some machines have gameport at 0x200.
i readded uartisa to the pcf and pccpuf kernel configurations so
one can use plan9.ini to add non standard uarts like:
uart2=type=isa port=0x200 irq=5
instead of trying to make rio not change the window image too fast
and give the client some time to attach it (which turns out to be
impossible), we acknowledge that there is a race and just retry
the window reattach as long as the winname keeps changing in
gengetwindow().
if a window gets hidden/unhidden/resized too fast, the client might have no
chance attaching to that image using winname. so we move the window
offscreen instead and delay the freeimage() by doing it in the deletethread().
the text for a menu entry is drawn from:
y = textr.min.y + i*(font->height+Vspacing);
but we calculated the item from:
r = insetrect(textr);
i = (p.y - r.min.y) / (font->height+Vspacing);
the insetrect is wrong.
