This patch adds dirmodefmt from fcall.h to pretty-print file
permissions, similarly to ls -l. I didn't notice any performance
degradation.
I hope no-one relied on the old behaviour.
i have found one bug. when i put glenda in a position like this
i somehow win, but the glenda can escape from there.
in addition, i have changed the games manpage to include more info about glendy.
We can take advantage of the fact that xinit() allocates
kernel memory from conf.mem[] banks always at the beginning
of a bank, so the separate palloc.mem[] array can be eleminated
as we can calculate the amount of non-kernel memory like:
upages = cm->npage - (PGROUND(cm->klimit - cm->kbase)/BY2PG)
for the number of reserved kernel pages,
we provide the new function: ulong nkpages(Confmem*)
This eleminates the error case of running out of slots in
the array and avoids wasting memory in ports that have simple
memory configurations (compared to pc/pc64).
To reproduce the suicide try running the following in acme:
• 'Edit B <ls lib'
by select and middle clicking in a window that is in your $home.
There is a very high chance acme will commit suicide like this:
<snip>

</snap>
The suicide issue is caused by the following chain of events:
• /sys/src/cmd/acme/ecmd.c:/^edittext is called at
/sys/src/cmd/acme/xfid.c:479 passing nil as its first parameter:
<snip>
...
case QWeditout:
r = fullrunewrite(x, &nr);
if(w)
err = edittext(w, w->wrselrange.q1, r, nr);
else
err = edittext(nil, 0, r, nr);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
...
</snap>
...and /sys/src/cmd/acme/ecmd.c:/^edittext dereferences the
first parameter that is *nil* at the first statement:
<snip>
char*
edittext(Window *w, int q, Rune *r, int nr)
{
File *f;
f = w->body.file;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This will crash if 'w' is *nil*
switch(editing){
...
</snap>
Moving the the derefernce of 'w' into the case where it is
needed (see above patch) fixes the suicude.
The memory leak is fixed in /sys/src/cmd/acme/ecmd.c:/^filelist. The
current implementation of filelist(...) breaks its contract with its
caller, thereby leading to a memory leak in /sys/src/cmd/acme/ecmd.c:/^B_cmd
and /sys/src/cmd/acme/ecmd.c:/^D_cmd.
The contract /sys/src/cmd/acme/ecmd.c:/^filelist seems to have with
its callers is that in case of success it fills up a 'collection' that
callers can then clear with a call to clearcollection(...).
The fix above honours this contract and thereby removes the leak.
After you apply the patch the following two tests should succeed:
• Execute by select and middle click in a Tag:
'Edit B lib/profile'
• Execute by select and middle click in a Tag:
'Edit B <ls lib'
The former lead to a resource leak that is now fixed.
The latter lead to a suicide that is now fixed by moving the statement
that dereferences the parameter to the location where it is needed,
which is not the path used in the case of 'Edit B <ls'.
Cheers,
Igor
The confstr was shared between readers so seprintconf() could
write concurrently to that buffer which is not safe.
This replaces the shared static confstr[Maxconf] buffer with a
pointer that is initially nil and a buffer that is alloced on
demand.
The new confstr pointer (and buffer) is now only updated while
wlock()ed from the new setconfstr() function.
This is now done by mconfig() / mdelctl() just before releasing
the wlock.
Now, rdconf() will check if confstr has been initialized, and
test for it again while wlock()ed; making sure the configuration
is read only once.
Also, rdconf() used to check for a undocumented "fsdev:\n" string
at the beginning of config data tho that was never documented.
This changes mconfig() to ignore that particular signature so
the example from the manpage will work as documented.
The sunStringUnpack() routine was miscompiled by 7c, as
pointer arithmetic is done in 64 bit but the constant -1
offset got expended to a unsigned 32 bit integer.
The expression value of the assignment operation was
returned implicitely by relying on regalloc() on the
right hand side "nod" borrowing the register from nn.
But this only works if nn is a register.
In case of 6c, it can also be a ONAME from a .safe
rathole returned by regsalloc().
This change adds explicit gmove() calls to assign the
expression value. Note that gmove() checks if source
and destination are the same register so it wont emit
redundant move operations in the common case.
The same is applied also to OPREINC and OPOSTINC operations.
Mutating lists that are being iterated is needlessly error
prone, and we were removing the wrong message in some cases
if it the dummy got inserted in the right place.
Separating deletion into a redraw/relink and zap phase
simplifies the problem.
Switching window focus used to be non deterministic
as the current window in focus (Window *input) was set
concurrently while processing window messages such as
Resized and Topped.
This implements a new approach where wcurrent() and
wuncurrent() are responsible for the synchronization
and switch of the input.
It is implemented by sending a Repaint message to the
old input window first, neccesarily waiting until that
window releases the focus and then input is updated
and then a Topped or Reshaped message is send to the
new input window.
Note, that when the whole screen is resized that no
input changes need to happening anymore.
let pci.c deal with the special cardbus controller bar0 and
expansion roms.
handle apic interrupt routing for devices behind a cardbus slot.
do not free the pcidev on card removal, as the drivers
most certanly are not prepared to handle this yet.
instead, we provide a pcidevfree() function that just unlinks
the device from pcilist and the parent bridge.
When deleting messages that came in just
the right order, we would end up stuck in
a loop deleting and reinserting a dummy
parent, rather than the messages we wanted
to remove.

Hello! I finally bought rpi4 4Gb specially for 9front. It seems,
that default bpp of framebuffer is 16. I changed it to 24 (via
cmdline.txt and config.txt) and found, that rendering is much faster!
(May be due removing overheads in 16->24 conversions?)
But on rpi4 r and b channels are swapped. So, i changed BGR24 to
RGB24 in bcm/screen.c and now it works fine!
Sacrifice some of the sub-millisecond timer precision in favor of less
cpu load when the timer is about to be kicked a bit early. Result is
visible *especially* when the guest idling.
Timer proc *still* has to send to the channel (in order to kick PIT
and RTC logic), which takes time, and compensates a bit for possibly
early runs.
tftpd currently unconditionally sets its namespace via /lib/namespace
(newns("none", nil)), which stymied my attempts to pxe boot the
openbsd installer without creating a real /etc dir on 9front, which
would've been gross.
I tried working around this with -h (and -r for good measure), but
again hit issues because the namespace is rebuilt from scratch -- any
binds of /386, /amd64, /cfg/pxe, etc. into the tftp-specific directory
disappeared from tftpd's namespace and rendered my *9front* boxes
unable to boot. I could maintain copies of the needed files in the
tftp-specific directory, but that'd be kind of a drag.
The following patch adds a -n flag to allow the specification of a
namespace file in place of /lib/namespace; similar to ip/ftpd.
I thought about setting up a /lib/namespace.tftp to act as a default
rather than continuing to use /lib/namespace by default (which
security-wise is about the same as allowing 9p mounts by user none,
which I also have disabled), but I had trouble coming up with a sane
default. Maybe someone more experienced would like to try that out.

IndexField is supposed to increment the index value when an
access is done with a bigger size than the data field.
The index value is always a byte offset.
Now that we always calculate the offset for each field unit
access for IndexField, rename the indexv to bank (the bank
value), as it is only used for that. Also, do not compare
it with nil, as it is a integer constant which can be
encoded as nil to mean zero.
For BankField, the banking field was written using store(),
which does nothing when the destination is a Field*.
Use rwfield() to fix it in the new rwfieldunit().
Resolve all the Name*'s when IndexField, BankField and
Field are created. Now, Field.reg points to eigther
Buffer object, Region or Field (data Field of an IndexField).
PS: initial bug report by Michael Forney follows below:
In /dev/kmesg on my T14, I saw a message
amlmapio: [0xffffff18-0x100000018] overlaps usable memory
amlmapio: mapping \_SB.FRTP failed
Here is the relevant snippet from my DSDT:
Scope (_SB)
{
...
OperationRegion (ECMC, SystemIO, 0x72, 0x02)
Field (ECMC, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
{
ECMI, 8,
ECMD, 8
}
IndexField (ECMI, ECMD, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
{

FRTB, 32
}
OperationRegion (FRTP, SystemMemory, FRTB, 0x0100)
Field (FRTP, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
{
...
}
}
With some debugging output:
amlmapio(\_SB.ECMC): Io 72 - 74
rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+0]/1 <- 8
rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+1]/1 -> 18

amlmapio: [0xffffff18-0x100000018) overlaps usable memory
amlmapio: mapping \_SB.FRTP failed
It seems that libaml does not handle IndexField correctly and just did
a single read from ECMD after setting ECMI to 8, causing the FRTP
region to be evaluated as 0xffffff18-0x100000018. Instead, it should
be reading 4 bytes [18 c0 22 cc], evaluating it as
0xcc22c018-0xcc22118:
amlmapio(\_SB.ECMC): Io 72 - 74
rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+0]/1 <- 8
rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+1]/1 -> 18
rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+0]/1 <- 9

rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+0]/1 <- a
rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+1]/1 -> 22

rwreg(\_SB.ECMC): Io [72+1]/1 -> cc
amlmapio(\_SB.FRTP): Mem cc22c018 - cc22c118
I wrote a patch (attached) to fix this, and it seems to work. Though,
it's not clear to me when things should be dereferenced. Previously,
the data field was dereferenced at evalfield, but the region and index
field were not until rwfield. After the patch, the index field is
also dereferenced in evalfield.
For BankField, the index *is* dereferenced in evalfield. I'm pretty
sure that this means that BankField does not work currently, since
store() just returns nil for 'f' objects. The bank selector will
never get set.
Anyway, I don't know if this solves any real problems; it's just
something I noticed and thought I'd try to fix.
When the save folder did not exist, and we could not create
it, we would handle up to one Biobuf worth of message, and
then fail, due to a failed tee. The sequence of events leading
up to this was:
openfolder() -> error
tee(0, fd, -1) -> wait for read
write(0, data) ->
write(fd, data) -> ok
write(-1, data) -> error, tee terminates
write(0, attachment) -> error
This change prevents us from writing to a closed fd, and
therefore from erroring out when sending.
We also warn the user.

Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
I think I found a reason for DNS failing on known good domains.
/sys/src/cmd/ndb/dns.h:156,157
/* tune; was 60*1000; keep it short */
Maxreqtm= 8*1000, /* max. ms to process a request */
So, 8 seconds is how much the resolver will bother with a request it
has been handed, before dropping it on the floor with little
explanation.
It seems quite possible that this is too short a timeout on a machine
during a spam queue run, which predictably stresses the compute and
network resources.
In turn, negative response caching might explain why a particular
unlucky domain would basically stop receiveing any mail for a while.
I'm dying to know if bumping this limit would clear up the queue of
such DNS errors.

I've omitted the %z conversion specifier since Plan 9 code

for the benefit of native ports of alien code.
I'm not sure if this LFSR is the same one used by the hardware or is
arbitrary, but it matches the noise sequence used by all other snes
emulators I looked at.
s1 and s2 should store the last and next to last output, but were set
in the wrong order, causing them both to be the last output. This
breaks filters 2 and 3, which both utilize s2.
despite the kernel never doing any efi runtime service calls,

The value of `k` in dtoa() is an estimate of
floor(log10(d)), where `d` is the number being
converted. The code was asserting that 'k' was
less than 100, but the full range of a double
goes to 10^308 or so.
This means that the majority of the range of
a double would trigger that assert.
validateattachment has no business with the mime boundary; it is not
part of the attachment itself.
Also, it causes the boundary to be dropped in the message output from
upas/vf, effectively dropping the following attachment (though the
content is still present after the last boundary of the wrapped first
attachment part).
Consider the following sequence of events:
1. upas/vf is run on a message containing two attachments.
2. The first attachment does not have a known extension, so is saved
to a temporary file *including* the following mime boundary.
3. This file is opened as p->tmpbuf, which is used for subsequent
reads until switching back to stdin.
4. The attachment fails validateattachment, so upas/vf wraps it in a
multipart with a warning message.
5. problemchild() calls passbody(p, 0), which copies from p->tmpbuf
until it hits the outer boundary line, which it excludes, seeks
back one line, then returns the outer multipart.
6. problemchild() then writes its own boundary, and then copies one
line from *stdin* to stdout, expecting the outer boundary.
However, this boundary was already read from stdin in 2, so it ends
up reading the first line of the subsequent part instead.
To fix this, pass 0 to passbody() in save() to exclude it from the
attachment file and make it available in stdin when expected.
Reading nested subparts of messages into the root
message array allows deeply nested multipart trees
of messages to show correctly in the message view.
H-blank DMA should only transfer 16 bytes per h-blank, rather than
waiting for the first h-blank and then transferring the whole size.
HDMAC should read 0xff when the transfer is finished, and 0 in the
high bit when the transfer is ongoing. Also, if 0 is written in the
high bit, the current transfer should be aborted.
Introduce two flags, DMAREADY and DMAHBLANK rather than special
constants 1 and -1. If dma is non-zero, there is an ongoing DMA. If
DMAREADY is set, the next chunk is ready to transfer.
Reference: https://gbdev.io/pandocs/#ff55-hdma5-cgb-mode-only-new-dma-length-mode-start
Tested with pokemon crystal.
What was happening is that when the game was loading N background tiles
into vram (each 16 bytes, so one per h-blank), it did something like
this:
- start an hdma transfer for N+1 tiles
- after the Nth tile is transferred, it would read HDMA5, clear the
high bit, then write it back to abort the transfer.
games/gb would instead transfer all N+1 tiles at once, overwriting one
extra tile with whatever was 1 past the end of the source array, and
then would interpret the cancel request as the start of a new transfer
of 16 bytes, which would copy an additional tile past the end. The end
result is that every transfer would end up copying N+2 tiles instead
of just N, overwriting certain tiles with whatever was after the end
of the source data.
According to [0], input clock 0 should divide by 1024=2¹⁰, not 2¹².

upas/vf was converted to use tmdate, but the formatter was never
installed. This caused it to send attachments to validateattachment
with header `From virusfilter %τ%`, which always failed since upas/fs
would just skip over the message.
On the pi400, the xhci reset firmware mailbox request
assumes that the pci windows match the ones specified
in the device tree. The inbound window (pcidmawin)
also varies now depending on the amount of memory
installed.
It is all pretty ridiculous, as the firmware could as
well just read the pci controllers hardware register
to determine the window configuration and the os could
keep a nice simple 1:1 mapping (with pci dma addresses
== physical addresses).
The old parser code was rubbish and only worked for trivial
expressions. The new code properly handles complex expressions,
including short circuit evaluation.
As such, the BUGS section has been removed from the test(1) man page.
The description of an unimplemented feature has also been removed.
Despite pervious efforts, mk clean still doesn't remove libcommon.a*
files from cmd/upas/common/. To fix this, let's tell cmd/mklib to do
the job instead.
Runq spawns a number of processes, and wait()s for them
in 2 different places. Because of the way that the exit
handling is done, the wait can get the wrong message.
It turns out that only one place in the code needs to
wait for the child, and in all other cases, it's just
muddling the problem.
This change adds the RFNOWAIT call to all the processes
we don't need to wait for, so that the places that do
need wait will always get the correct child.
Screenlock should use libdraw(2) to init the display
and create the window, instead of looking at the screen
file directly. Also, to prevent new windows from popping
up over screenlock, bring it to the top periodically.
on arm32, we can do one of 4 shifts
by a constant:
reg<<(0..31)
reg>>(1..32)
((u32int)reg)>>(1..32)
reg ROT (0..31)
There's no way to encode a 0 bit right
shift, so when encoding reg>>0, flip
it to the equivalent nop reg<<0, which
can be encoded.
This prevents an incorrect warning for a comparison such as `0 < x`,
where x is an unsigned type. Previously, this would get normalized as
`x >= 0` rather than `x > 0` when checking the comparison.
With ntlm auth, we were trying to set 0 bytes of
the auth struct to its size. The args were clearly
swapped. Fix it.
While we're here, remove some dead code.
When running a mail queue, it's useful to run it with limited
parallelism. This helps mailing lists process messages in a
reasonable time.
At the same time, we can remove the load balancing from runq,
since the kinds of systems that this matters on no longer
exist, and running multiple queues at once can be better
done through xargs.
Querying battery (or temperature) using ACPI takes quite some
resources, which makes the battery discharge faster. It doesn't make
much sense to have it queried as often either. So, when using ACPI:
1) set battery query period to 10s minimum
2) set temperature query period to 5s minimum
When _startbuf is invoked, it would crash on the second invocation
if creating a mux segment failed. This is because the first attempt
would assign the return value -1 to the global mux variable, and
the second attempt would notice that the global mux was not nil,
and would attempt to use it.
This change only assigns to the global variable if the allocation
of the segment was a success.
While we're here, we should also check the return of the rfork call.
When invoking with dd with an invalid size suffix, we
silently accept the suffix. This can lead to confusion,
because lines like:
dd -bs 1K
dd -bs 1m
will silently copy in 1-byte increments. This has caught
people by surprise. While we're at it, megabytes are
convenient, so let's have them too.
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.
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.
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.
On AMD64, CR0/CR4 are 64-bit registers, with
the upper half reserved. So use uintptr type
to store the register values to get 32 bit on 386
and 64 bit on AMD64.
The -v flag now does not create a new rio window,
while -w flag does (restores the old behaviour).
This allows vmx to run under vncs and is in general
mode aligned to other emulators and programs.
