we loaded APMDSEG instead of APMDSEL into DS. (ouch!)
its not really clear why we loaded DS (wong) in the
first place as bios is supposed to do this. for the
machines where this worked it could have no effect
anyway because it was wrong so removing the DS load
and just zero all segment registers.
we cannot do:
cmdpid = rfork(... RFMEM);
because cmdpid is a global variable in the data segment
and hence shared between parent and child process. use a
temporary variable on the stack.
- TLSconn structure on stack but not initialized (zeroed)
- original filedescriptor double closed in error case
- original filedescriptor leaked in success case
- leaked TLSconn.sessionID and TLSconn.cert
- clarify in pushtls(2) and pushssl(2)
new io interface was added. user defines amlmapio() and amlunmapio() functions
that will fill out Amlio structure with function pointers to read/write
routines for a particular region.
amlnew() function added allowing the creation of aml objects like buffers
or packages. these can be passed to amleval() with b, p or * format.
amltake()/amldrop() exclude an aml object from garbage collection.
on load, names are not always resolvable until the whole table is loaded.
for this, we create n objects that are just name strings. after load, we
recursively traverse the namespace and resolve them (see fixnames()).
the FindSetLeftBit and FindSetRightBit opcodes got implemened.
the difficulty is freeing items while parsing because items might already
be linked into various linked lists like in docinfo.images or form.fiels.
so we link images, tables and formfields to the docinfo as the final step
of getitems() pass using the new recursive function linkitems(). as only
reachable items get linked theres no danger of dangeling pointers.
always look for 9fat in plan9 partition even tho the partition
is *not* maked active. marking partitions active is not
recommended anymore with grub so this makes life easier for
some people. multiple plan9 partitions on a single drive
is not supported.
have to copy partition table as buf gets trashed when reading
first block of fat partition. it worked only when the first
fat partition found (the one marked active) was the right one,
but conffat() can fail.
png: colorspace will never be CYCbCr (this is no
doubt from copy-pasting from jpg)

argument, so we will too

Port Reset R/W. 1=Port is in Reset. 0=Port is not in Reset. Default = 0. When
software writes a one to this bit (from a zero), the bus reset sequence as defined in the
USB Specification Revision 2.0 is started. Software writes a zero to this bit to terminate
the bus reset sequence. Software must keep this bit at a one long enough to ensure the
reset sequence, as specified in the USB Specification Revision 2.0, completes. Note:
when software writes this bit to a one, it must also write a zero to the Port Enable bit.
Note that when software writes a zero to this bit there may be a delay before the bit
status changes to a zero. The bit status will not read as a zero until after the reset
has completed.
openmode() can raise error with invalid mode passed, but we already
incremented the exclusive mouse refcount at that point! call openmode()
early to avoid this.
spawn a kernel process to check the broken state of the controller.
if the firmware crashed, or rfkill was toggled we will reset and
reboot the firmware. also power down the card when rfkill is off.
double the td abort delay and make sure the tsleep() isnt
shortened by a pending note. in that case, tsleep() would
raise error(Eintr); immidiately and would not sleep the
requested amount potentially cauing us to release active
dma memory too early! so we wrap the tsleep() call in a
while(waserror()) so we will at least wait the Abortdelay
amount if error is raised.
also, only try to idle the still active td's.
do not copy data in epio() when there was an error, theres
no reason to touch user buffer in that case.
for uhci, we also check that theres not more data in the
buffers than requested to avoid overflowing user buffer
in epio(). this should not happen but we'r paranoid.
for ehci, we also halt the queue head first in aborttds().
mark the queue heads as Qfree after unlinking and remove
some silly nil checks that are impossible.
on races... normal forks will all share the /env environment but
not the in memory variables of rc. so when we would normally fork
whoever does an exec (flush) first will override what the values of the
/env variables are, *independent* of the variables that where
actually modified *in* the process.
when we flush *before* fork, then at least both processes start out
with marked clean in memory variables and the processes will flush
only the things they actually change.
the "auth" ctl command only sets the rsne of the current selected
access point. so on deassociation, we wait for the connection to
the potentially new access point and then setup new rsne before
processing eapol messages.
fix the default note handler for event programs. only handle non system
notes or notes in the slave processes. for interrupt in the main process,
just call exits() which will do the cleanup and restore window label
properly.
this makes completely overriding the note handler in gping and
stats uneccesary.
many queued mouse events delay eresize() because
new ebread() takes from the queue first before attempting
to read from the event pipe. this is a waste of memory, so
just process (dequeue) all the events as long as there are
any on each iteration.
from the manual:
Tm2sec converts a broken-down time to seconds since the
start of the epoch. It ignores wday, and assumes the local
time zone if zone is not GMT.
so we can assume localtime if Tm.zone is not set to GMT.
all code that wants no localtime conversion should set
Tm.zone explicitely to GMT. (see previous commits)
tm2sec() now does the reverse of localtime() when Tm.zone[0] == 0
which seems to be what the calling code (dossrv, zipfs) assumes.
this also makes sense because theres no simple way todo it
outside of libc as theres otherwise no access to the timezone
structure with the daylight saving periods.
tm2sec() ignores tm.tzoff and will use the local timezone for
conversion. to make it work right, we convert the dos timestamp
as GMT and then correct timezone with the offset provided by the
server.
instructions like BKPT, BX and BLX. Decoding these correctly allows db/acid to
single step through BX and BLX on armv5t+, and to show a breakpoint instruction
as 'BKPT $#0' instead of 'TEQ R0@>R0,R0'.
using a shared reply queue and a pool of worker procs does
result in replies to be send out of order under some conditions.
the symptoms are mnt errors when interrupting requests (Rflush
arriving before the original requests response).
this change gives each connection its own reply queue and its
own srvo process. so now a connection consists of one reply
queue, a srvi process reading the connections file descriptor
and a srvo process reading the reply queue and writng replies
to the connections file descriptor.
the srvi processes live as long as the connection is established.
the srvo prcoesses live forever and are attached to the chan
(which gets reused).
to avoid excessive process creation, we limit the number of
connections to 30. srvchan() returns nil when all 30 network
channels are in use.
due to the xfid handlers clearing flushtag too early, xfidflush might respond too early
causing spurious replies send later by the handler. now, we clear the flushtag in
filsysrespond *after* the reply was send. xfidflush will wait for us on the active
qlock.
scrollbars used to put the mouse on the scrollbar while scrolling. if latency
is high, this often results to the cursor jumping back. instead, make button 2
srolling work without needing the mouse to be inside the scrollbar and leave
the mouse position alone.
From richard:
A couple of patches applied yesterday should make debugging on ARM a
bit more reliable. Using db or acid on ARM, you may have noticed that
a program being debugged would sometimes execute through a breakpoint
without stopping, or run away while being single stepped. It turns out,
as often happens, that one symptom had two separate causes. For details:
/n/sources/patch/applied/5db-condcode/readme
/n/sources/patch/applied/arm-bkpt-cond/readme
To take advantage of the patches, rebuild libmach.a, then acid and db.
On machines with a kw kernel (sheevaplug et al), you'll also want to
rebuild /arm/9plug; otherwise breakpoints will stop working at all.
The new 9plug will, however, still work with the old libmach; and
the bcm and teg2 kernels are already compatible with the new libmach.
the heuristics that limits kernel memory on a cpu server to
a fixed amout (64MB + size for page tables) makes using devdraw
impractical.
if *imagemaxmb= is specified, we can assume that the draw device
will be used so we want to get a reasonable amount (30% default)
of kernel memory.
link status not working on 82567 was due to wrong phy number
used. instead of hardcoding the phy numbers, probe the phys
by reading id1 and id2 registers (code stolen from ethermii).
on the 82567, reading any phy register just gives 0 back.
however, the card works just fine and no action is required
to (re-)start auto negotiation. so we add maclproc() which just
reads the speed setting and link status from the mac status
register instead of reading the phy registers.
we'v probably seen this symptom on other cards (link: 0) like
82566. we should test if we can make link status work on
these cards as well by just using the maclproc().
rx pool exhaustion causes the system to deadlock when netbooted.
queue management should (etheroq) already makes sure the systen
can keep up with the data thowing away buffers.
icansleep() violates the lock ordering due to the following cases:
rbfree(): ilock(Rbpool.Lock) -> wakeup(): spli(), lock(Rbpool.Rendez)
sleep(): splhi(), lock(Rbpool.Rendez) -> icansleep(): ilock(Rbpool.Lock)
erik fixed this moving the wakeup() out of the ilock() in rbfree(),
but i think it is an error to try acquiering a ilock in sleeps wait
condition function in general.
so this is what we do:
in the icansleep() function, we check for the *real* event we care about;
that is, if theres a buffer available in the Rbpool. this is to handle
the case when rbfree() makes a buffer available *before* it sees us
setting p->starve = 1.
p->starve is now just used to gate rbfree() from calling wakeup() as
an optimization.
this might cause spurious wakeups but they are not a problem. missed
wakeups is the thing we have to prevent.
this patch consists of two bits of work submitted as one
patch.
the first bit fixed a "pacing" problem, where a tcp connection
rate-limited by the reading process would experience 10%
of the expected throughput, and could even get into live
lock. it was noticed at the time of this initial work that
the stack often sent tiny grams. some good bits from nix'
original tcp were merged in. the test program
/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/tcptest.c
will verify that under most conditions, a reader-paced connection
now gets the expected throughput. expected arguments
would be
tcptest -s1 -n 5000 -l
the second bit is a first step in preparing tcp to handle
modest (1-2MB) bandwidth-delay products. the strategy
was to completely implement NewReno. the testing network
was a 7/35/70ms by 100Mbit wan emulator with 0/.05/.1% loss.
here are the performance comparisons from the changes after
the first round "old" to the submitted patch "new". the
smallest improvement was 80%, the largest was 11x.

the cmd box is not part of the alt display hirarchy. for command
typing to show the box in alt display, we call pldraw() on it
in eresized() to initialize its cmd->b image so it knows where to
draw itself on typing.
the driver should work for standard sdhc
(see http://www.sdcard.org/) controllers,
but matches for the ricoh controller only
as it was the only one i have for testing.
if LocalX or ArgX is a package, the store into
a element should *not* type convert. so when taking
the index reference, we have to carry over the type.
empty href="" attribute in base-tag causes the page to break.
while at it, handle empty attributes in other parts of the
code as well. (mostly stuff like id, name shouldnt be empty)
