the numbers from /dev/sysstat overflow on 32bit, so have
to do subtraction modulo 2^32 as we calculate with 64bit
integers.
thanks mischief for reporting this.
WHAT WHERE THEY *THINKING*??!?!
unlike seek, the (new) nsec syscall (not used in 9front libc)
returns the time value in register (from nix), so do the same
for compatibility.
memfillcolor() used to write longs in host byte
order which is wrong. have to always use little
endian.
to simplify, moved little endian conversion into
memsetl() and memsets() avoiding code duplication.
file->parent can be nil when the file has been previously removed.
removefile() deals with this, so skip the permission check in
that case and let removefile() error out.
some of us run auth servers from home that are used by multiple
servers on the internet. when the home authserver becomes unreachable,
services on the outside servers stop working. so we thought about
specifing a secondary auth servers for backup when the primary
server is not reachable.
this changes authdial() to consult multiple auth= entries in
the authdom= or dom= tuples, trying each one in order until
dial() succeeds.
from segattach(2):
Va and len specify the position of the segment in the
process's address space. Va is rounded down to the nearest
page boundary and va+len is rounded up. The system does not
permit segments to overlap. If va is zero, the system will
choose a suitable address.
just rounding up len isnt enougth. we have to round up va+len
instead of just len so that the span [va, va+len) is covered
even if va is not page aligned.
kenjis example:
print("%p\n",ap); // 206cb0
ap = segattach(0, "shared", ap, 1024);
print("%p\n",ap); // 206000
term% cat /proc/612768/segment

note that 0x206cb0 + 0x400 > 0x20700.
RFC2104 defines HMAC for keys bigger than the 64 byte block
size as follows:
Applications that use keys longer than B (64) bytes will
first hash the key using H (the hash function) and then
use the resultant L byte string as the actual key to HMAC.
this is a work in progress implementation of the ayiya (anything
in anything) protocol as used by sixxs.net. hiro tested it and it
worked for him, but progress has stalled as sixxs.net rejected my
request for an account and ignored my emails since.
after running ip/ipconfig -6, we are unable to ping our
own link-local address and the arp daemon sends out useless
neighbor solicitation requests to itself. this change
adds an arp entry for our ipv6 address. however, this
must not be done for tentative interface configuration.
allocate the Iplifc structure on the stack instead.
i assuming that it was allocated on heap in fear of
causing stack oveflow. on 386, this adds arround
88 bytes on the stack but it doesnt seem to cause
any trouble. (checked with poolcheck after ctl write)
we have to recheck the condition under tod lock, otherwise
another process can come in and updated tod.last and
tod.off and once we have the lock, we would make time
jump backwards.
unify the keyboard and mouse readers into one using the hid
report parser for both. remove the keyboard protocol handling,
as it is now handled by hid parser and all we get is a sequence
of keycodes in Hiddev.k[] which we diff for up/down and translate
to pc scancodes.
in backwards mode, the roles of the aan filters need to be
reversed. add "-n address" option to import to override the
announce address for the aan server part (default tcp!*!0).
mischief got babble error with his mobile phone as we used to
read at max 64 bytes for the data response phase. his device
has 512 byte packet size.
thans to mischief for the patience.
ipifcunbind() could error out from ipifcremlifc() and Medium.unbind()
*after* decrementing ifc->conv->inuse! move the decrement after
calling these functions.
make ipifcremlifc() never raise error but return error string.
the only places where it could error is when it calls into
medium functions like Medium.remroute() and Medium.remmulti().
Ignore these errors as they could happen when the ethernet driver
crashed (think imported ethernet device or usb ethernet
in userspace), so we will be able to unbind.
add waserror() handlers as neccesary to deal with errors from
Medium.addmulti(), Medium.areg() and arpenter() to properly
unlock the data structures.
the allow command now takes an optional uid argument for the user
to be granted temporary god status on the fileserver for maintenance.
this was kenji okomotos idea, so thanks :)
remove wstatallow and writeallow flags. instead, we have global:
int allowed;
that contains the uid of the currently allowed user id or -1
if permission checking is globally disabled for the fileserver.
when zero, normal permission checking takes place.
added int isallowed(File*) function that returns non-zero when the
context is the console, or the allowed user. this is also used internally
by iaccess(), so all the extra code of in the callers of iaccess()
is gone now.
dont conflate allowed user with noauth flag and auto-allow on ream.
the installer already knows about noauth and allow flags so theres no
problem with bootstraping.
when mountmux() completes a request for another process, enforce odering
of the loads and stores to the request prior to writing q->done = 1
so mntflushfree() sees q->done != 0 only when the request has actually
completed. otherwise, the q->done = 1 store could have been reordered
before the load from q->z, reading from already freed request and causing
spurious wakeups.
removing unused mntstats callback.
use nil for pointers instead of 0.

the first Ureg* argument is passed to the note handler in the
RARG (BX) register, which was not loaded when returning to
userspace from syscall() thru forkret(). fix by returning thru
noteret() from syscall().
old iostats failed to work when builidng the kernel due to old bugs
that where already fixed in exportfs. instead of backporting the fixes,
reimplement iostats as a filter that sits between exportfs and the
process mount. from users perspective, theres no difference.
the result is much smaller and can handle everything that exportfs
can like /srv.
Xqdol() used to take quadratic time because of strcat(),
the code isnt really needed as list2str() aready does the
same thing in linear time without the strcat().
add estrdup() which uses emalloc() so allocation error are
catched.
move strdups() of name from callers into newvar().
avoid recursion of conclist(), and avoid copying of word
strings by providing Newword() function which doesnt copy
the word string.
the 6c compiler reserves R14 and R15 for extern register variables,
which is used by the kernel to hold the m and up pointers. until
now, the meaning of R14 and R15 was undefined for userspace and
extern register would not work as the kernel trashes R14 and R15
on syscalls. with this change, user extern registers R14 and R15
are zeroed on exec and otherwise preserved across syscalls. so
userspace *could* use them for per process variables like the
kernel does.
use Ureg.bp (RARG) for syscall number instead of Ureg.ax. this is
less confusing and mirrors the amd64 calling convention.
addpage() should not be called with the display locked as it
calls showpage1() which sleeps when there are too many
processes active.
the bug was triggered by plumbing to trigger the addpage().
dont kill the calling process when demand load fails if fixfault()
is called from devproc. this happens when you delete the binary
of a running process and try to debug the process accessing uncached
pages thru /proc/$pid/mem file.
fixes to procctlmemio():
- fix missed unlock as txt2data() can error
- make sure the segment isnt freed by taking a reference (under p->seglock)
- access the page with segment locked (see comment)
- get rid of the segment stealer lock
other stuff:
- move txt2data() and data2txt() to segment.c
- add procpagecount() function
- make return type mcounseg() to ulong
handle reads and writes with 9pqueue(2) so they can
be flushed and wont hang the filesystem. this also
lets us get rid of the timeouts.
ftdi is still full of braindamage that should be
rewritten, but i dont have a device to test.
instead of naming devices by ther dynamically assigned device address,
we hash device uniqueue fields from the device descriptor and produce
a 5 digit hex string that will identify the device across machines.
when there is a collision (less than 1% chance with 100 devices),
usbd will append the device address to the name to make it uniqueue
for this machine.
the hname is passed to drivers in the devid argument, which now has
the form addr:hname, where the colon and hname can be omited (for backwards
compatibility).
when the new behaviour isnt desired, nousbhname= environment variable
can be defined giving the old behaviour.
pipeline = 1 with a dovecot imap server causes FETCH and OK responses
get interleaved so some message bodies accidentally get merged together.
disabling it will make fetching mail over imap slower, but it works.
