when libmach is compiled with 6c, unions in the 32bit Uregs
cause fields to be wronly aligned. use #pragma pack arround
the #include "/$objtype/include/ureg.h" statement.
the comment about Physseg.size being in pages is wrong,
change type to uintptr and correct the comment.
change the length parameter of segattach() and isoverlap()
to uintptr as well. segments can grow over 4GB in pc64 now
and globalsegattach() in devsegment calculates len argument
of isoverlap() by s->top - s->bot. note that the syscall
still takes 32bit ulong argument for the length!
check for integer overflow in segattach(), make sure segment
goes not beyond USTKTOP.
change PTEMAPMEM constant to uvlong as it is used to calculate
SEGMAXSIZE.
previous change had forgot how dithering works... m(
we *really* add a random signal when *reducing* the number
of bits. just make sure we do not overflow like in
mixin().
the check in dither() was inverted. we should only
add noise when the output bit count is greater
than input bit count (samples shifted up) to
fill the lower zero bits produced by the shift.
simplifying paging code by getting rid of duppage(). instead,
fixfault() now always makes a copy of the shared/cached page
and leaves the cache alone. newpage() uncaches pages as
neccesary.
thanks charles forsyth for the suggestion.

1) handle errors when loading thumbprint file.
initThumbprints() now returns nil and sets errstr
on error. a syntax error in a thumbprint file
should be reported instead of silently ignored!
(have to check users)
2) fix memory leak in initThumbprints(); we have to use
freeThumbprints() instead of free to release crltab.
3) use the actual head entries for thumbprint
storage in the thumbprints array. most thumbprint
files are rather sparse.
4) remove private emalloc() function. we shouldnt
just exit the calling process on allocation error,
instead handle error properly. this is a library!
imagereclaim() sabotaged itself by breaking the invariant
that cached pages are kept at the end of the page list.
once we made a hole of uncached pages, we would stop
reclaiming cached pages before it as the loop breaks
once it hits a uncached page. (we iterate backwards from
the tail to the head of the pagelist until pages have been
reclaimed or we hit a uncached page).
the solution is to move pages to the head of the pagelist
after removing them from the image cache.
child processes handling the connection should be all
independent of each another and not share rendezvous
group. the rendezvous group sharing caused a bug in
exportfs when we switched from using pid to memory
address as rendezvous tag.
exportfs used pid of slave proc as rendezvous tag. when we
changed it to use Proc* memory address, there where tag
collisions because listen didnt fork the rendezvous group (bug!).
for now, just do rfork(RFREND) in main just in case.
will fix aux/listen in a follow up changeset.

from /n/sources/patch/blowfish/readme:
Blowfish is broken. The order of the bytes in the ciphertext
is wrong. The problem is the conversion from the ciphertext
plaintext block to the array of u32int used by the core funcions
and vice versa.
This code has been tested on big endian and little endian
machines.
A test program is also included, bftets.c. It uses the
test vectors of blowfish available at
https://www.schneier.com/code/vectors.txt
amd64 passes first argument in RARG (BP) register
which has the be preserved duing _profin() and
_profout() calls. to handle this we introduce
_saveret() and _savearg(). _saveret() returns
AX, _savearg() returns RARG (BP). for archs other
and amd64, _saveret() and _savearg() are the
same function, doing nothing.
restoing works with dummy function:
uintptr
_restore(uintptr, uintptr ret)
{
return ret;
}
...
ret = _saveret();
arg = _savearg();
...
return _restore(arg, ret);
as we pass arg as the first argument, RARG (BP) is
restored.
we did the utf-8 to unicode conversion in pl_nextc(),
but the plaintext handler uses pl_readc() which only
translates newlines but otherwise returns bytes.
move unicode conversion in pl_readc() fixes it.
modifying the kernel pdp (CPU0PDP) hangs vmware. so
we initialize the pdp with KZERO and KZERO+1GB map
in l.s and never change it. (except when removing
the zero double map which seems to work).
VMAP has its own pdp now allowing to map 512GB of
physical address space. this simplifies the code
a bit and gives nice virtual addresses.
to make it easier to write portable acid code, we
introduce 'A' format in the same meaning as in db(1):
A Print the value of dot in hexadecimal. Dot is
unaffected.
both 'a' (symbolic) and 'A' will both have 64 or 32 bit
size depending on the mach, so pointer array indexing
works the same.
we cannot call gc() in execute() because it will gc
anonyous intermediate results which happens when we
construct a list and the elements are calculated by
calling a function thru ocall() which calls execute().
also, the _thiscmd symbol; which is used to keep
a reference to a statement so it wont get garbage
collected; does not work as yyparse() is recursive
(include statements).
we add execrec() function which *only* gets called from
yyparse() when evaluating a statement. it will
keep a stack on the _thiscmd symbol handling the yyparse()
recursion.
we also only call gc() in execrec() before calling
execute(). so execute() will never gc() while evaluating
a statement which prevents the intermediate results
from getting collected.
file offset is 64 bit signed integer, negative offsets
are invalid and rejected by the kernel. to still access
kernel memory on amd64, we unconditionally clear the sign
bit of the 64 bit offset in libmach and devproc sign
extends the offset back to a 64 bit address.
when using the jpg(1) programs interactively, draw the
image in the center of it. this avoids wasting space
with always on borders on small windows and looks better
when used in fullscreen.
on intel processors, a general protection exception is fired if a non-canonical address is loaded into PC during SYSRET. this will cause the kernel to panic.
see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/649219 and the intel software developer manual for more information.
kmapindex has to be per process, not per mach, as the process
can be switched to another processor while the mapping is
established.
to bootstrap the first process, we have to temporarily set up
so the kmap MMU's can be attached to the process. previously
we assumed that the first two pages for the initial process
where below 2GB and could be accessed with KADDR() directly.
with 16GB machine, all the 2GB above KZERO are dedicated to
the kernel so the user pages returned by newpage() need to
be mapped.
no need for switch here, just calculate the values. also fixes
6l warning about uninitialized min/max (compiler assumes none
of the case statements could match).
this doubling affects all segment types, not just bss.
(tho text/data are usually small...)
and theres no telling if the segment will actually
grow in the future justifying the reduction of memmove
overhead in ibrk().
some ape programs are approaching the 16mb ssegmap size
so that code might trigger.
removing the smarts...
we have to keep kmap page tables in ther own list
because user tables are subject to (virtual) tlb flushing.
we never free kmap page tables except in mmurelease()
where we just link the kmap mmu list in front of the user
mmus and call mmufree() which will free all the mmu's
of the process.
as erik quanstro suggests, theres not much of a point in
storing the full 64bit pc as one cannot get a code segment
bigger than 4G and amd64 makes it hard to use a pc that
isnt 64bit sign extension of 32bit.
instead, we only store ulong (as originally), but sign
extend back when returning in getmalloctag() and
getrealloctag().
getrealloctag() used to be broken. its now fixed.
this change is in preparation for amd64. the systab calling
convention was also changed to return uintptr (as segattach
returns a pointer) and the arguments are now passed as
va_list which handles amd64 arguments properly (all arguments
are passed in 64bit quantities on the stack, tho the upper
part will not be initialized when the element is smaller
than 8 bytes).
this is partial. xalloc needs to be converted in the future.
