initially, pio was used to access registers so i didnt need
a kernel driver for initial testing.
pio does not work under efi, so use mmio to access registers.
check that Free.next and Free.prev pointers are not nil.
check that Free.left and Free.right are Poison in non-tree nodes.
check that Free.left and Free.right are *not* Poison in tree nodes.
change Poison to 0xffffffffcafebabe for 64bit machines.
we have to reset hwblank when switching drivers to
prevent the generic vgablank() to be called by
blankscreen().
remove code setting hwblank from vga drivers as
devvga will always force hwblank to be 1 or 0
depending on if the driver provides a native blanking
routine.
set hwaccel to 1 when the driver provides native fill
and scroll routines independent of softscreen being
disabled. this allows hw acceleration to be used when
softscreen gets switched off.
don't hold drawlock duing vga enable and disable, but just zero
the function pointers under drawlock *before* disabling the vga
device.
holding the drawlock while calling out into enable and disable
is not a good idea. with vgavesa, this might deadlock when
userspace realemu tries to print in a rio window with vgavesa.
in 9front, screen blanking is always initiated from process context,
so there is no need for a kproc anymore.
care has been taken for the race between vesadisable() and vesablank()
by acquiering the drawlock prior calling scr->dev->enable() and
scr->dev->disable(). this also has the side effect of accelerated
fills and scrolls not being called during device disable.
Prior to switching display, switch to text mode 3, which
is supported by anything, then set display, search for the
desired mode, load it if found. If not found, set the display
to the old one and switch to the old mode back.
the boolcopy optimization doesnt doesnt use Buffer.alpha, tho
the debug function dumpbuf() still can dereference it. to keep
it simple, always have Buffer.alpha point to the channel or
&ones when not used.
previously ircrc dialed through /net itself and resolved ips on its own. this prevented the use of an ip address, and also prevented use of ipv6. now you can use an ip, or a dns name that resolves to ipv6. the -T flag is also added to use tlsclient for encrypted connections.
At least on some NVIDIA cards the default scaling mode makes
black borders visible on all sides, even on native resolution.
This patch adds a generic "scaling MODE" command to vgactl
and adds support for it on VESA through NVIDIA VBE OEM extension.
It hasn't been tested on any other video cards, but shouldn't
break anything as the scaling mode is only set on write to vgactl.
we have to call tmpmap() with interrupts disabled as the map
is a per cpu and a interrupt can preempt us while we where
commited to use a entry but *before* we wrote it!
tmpunmap() already calls coherence() before flushpg() so it
is not needed after tmpunmap().
splhi() in l2free() isnt needed as l2free() is always called
with interrupts disabled from mmuswitch() and mmurelease().
fpsave needs to disable the fpu! otherwise we won't catch
the mathtrap() in the kernel or when context switching to
another process that will attempt to use it.
intrdisable() will always be able to unregister the interrupt
now, so there is no reason to have it return an error value.
all drivers except uart8250 already assumed it to never fail
and theres no need to maintain that complexity.
other operating systems always set the "don't fragment" bit
in ther outgoing ipv4 packets causing us to unnecesarily
call ip4reassemble() looking for a fragment reassembly queue.
the change excludes the "don't fragment" bit from the test
so we now call ip4reassemble() only when the "more fragmens"
bit is set or a fragment offset other than zero is given.
this optimization was discovered from akaros.
to allow bytewise access to /proc/#/fd, the contents of the file where
recreated on each call. if fd's had been closed or reassigned between
the reads, the offset would be inconsistent and a read could start off
in the middle of a line. this happens when you cat /proc/#/fd file of
a busy process that mutates its filedescriptor table.
to fix this, we now return one line record at a time. if the line
fits in the read size, then this means the next read will always start
at the beginning of the next line record. we remember the consumed
byte count in Chan.mrock and the current record in Chan.nrock. (these
fields are free to usefor non-directory files)
if a read comes in and the offset is the same as c->mrock, we do not
need to regenerate the file and just render the next c->nrock's record.
for reads smaller than the line count, we have to regenerate the content
up to the offset and the race is still possible, but this should not
be the common case.
the same algorithm is now used for /proc/#/ns file, allowing a simpler
reimplementation and getting rid of Mntwalk state strcture.
mpshutdown() used to call acpireset() making it impossible to build
a kernel without archacpi. now, mpshutdown() is a helper function
that only shuts down the application processors that gets used from
mpreset() and acpireset().
the generic machine reset code in exported by devarch's archreset()
function that is called by mpreset() and from acpireset() as a fallback.
so the code duplication that was in mpshutdown() is avoided.
the purpose of checkpages() is to verify consitency of the hardware mmu state,
not to notify on the console that a program faulted. a program could also
continue after handling the note. (this seems to be the case in go programs)
- shorten cpuidprnt so it doesnt have to break line
- addarchfile: complain when running out of entries
- fix range check in rmemrw() (harmless)
- use nil instead of 0 for pointers
- in 9front, the bootargs are in the form: method!device args
- remove redundant and wrong paragraphs regarding tcp booting
- document il boot method
- fix boot and bootrc confusions
this is a new more simple version of the mount cache
that does not require dynamic allocations for extends.
the Mntcache structure now contains a page bitmap
that is used for quick page invalidation. the size
of the bitmap is proportional to MAXCACHE.
instead of keeping track of cached range in the
Extend data structure, we keep all the information
in the Page itself. the offset from the page where
the cache range starts is in the low PGSHIT bits and
the end in the top bits of Page.va.
we choose Page.daddr to map 1:1 the Mountcache number
and page number (pn) in the Mountcache. to find a page,
we first check the bitmap if the page is there and then
do a pagelookup() with the daddr key.
change page cache ids (bid) to uintptr so we use the full
address space of Page.daddr.
make maxcache offset check consistent in cread().
use consistent types in cupdate() and simplify with goto.
make internal functions static.
use nil instead of 0 for pointers.
there is no use for "bootdisk" variable parametrization
of /boot/boot and no point for the boot section with its
boot methods in the kernel configuration anymore. so
mkboot and boot$CONF.out are gone.
move the rules for bootfs.paq creation in 9/boot/bootmkfile.
location of bootfs.proto is now in 9/boot/bootfs.proto.
our /boot/boot target is now just "boot".
expand the list of files specified in bootfs.proto and use them
as dependencies to bootfs.paq rule. this way, bootfs.paq is
regenerated when the to be included files have been modified.
the utf8 buffers b1 where allocated from fbufalloc() which gives
us BUFSIZE bytes, but Xfid->count can be bigger than that. so just
emalloc() the requested number of bytes.
when converting from Runes to utf-8, we have to account for the
terminating '\0' byte snprint() places, so fix the maxrune number
calculation instead of using BUFSIZE+1 as buffer size.
A buffer can be overflowed in the init function of kbmap.c by using a filename of more than 112 characters.
sample output:
% cd /sys/lib/kbmap
% touch aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
% kbmap
kbmap 1974: suicide: sys: trap: fault write addr=0xa6a96510 pc=0x000011df
offending code is most likely the call to sprint in the init function of /sys/src/cmd/kbmap.c,
which in this case writes /sys/lib/kbmap/$file to a 128-bit buffer.
I'm willing to submit a patch for this myself along with a few minor improvements/fixes to kbmap
if I can figure out the nuances of doing so.
--silasm
factotum is started in bootrc before the network is setup
(as we need it to negotiate wpa key for wifi). once, the network
is setup, the bootstrap authservers are passed in /net/ndb,
which factotum reads when doing bootstrap authdial. it does
this only when no authserver was specified earlier! but we
want net.rc to select the proper bootstrap authserver...
the $secstore variable takes precedence over $auth. as
there is no connection server yet, we have to select the set
of servers here and pass them to secstore with -s flag.
note that this will work if multiple addresses where
specified.
bug: Rnointerrupt was used on Vqueue.used.flags instead of
Vqueue.avail.flags.
introduce vqnotify() function that notifies the device
about available ring advancement.
avoid queue notifications there that can be slow by
checking Unonotify flag in Vqueue.used.flags.
keep track of the number of notifications in the queue.
- properly negotiate Fctrlrx feature bit for promisc and multicast.
- allow setting mac address with ea= option from plan9.ini
- dont read the isr register from ifstats() as it has the side effect of reseting isr status
- embedd the Vqueue array in the Ctlr structure avoiding indirection
- add a interrupt counter Vqueue.nintr for statistical purposes
- only read network status register if the feature has been negotiated
- change name to "virtio" as "ethervirtio" is kind of redundant
continue recursing when we get empty but non-negative answer
from a (claimed) authoritative nameserer that provides more
nameservers.

note the authoritative flag in the first response from ns1.wordpress.com that
would otherwise terminate the search.
add vctlcmd() function to setup and comlete control commands.
handle Vctlq and implement promiscuous and multicast mode commands.
remove Vqueue.block[] and Vqueue.header. these are not properties
of the queue (Vctlq as no block array).
the block[] array only needs to be half the queue size as we use
two descriptors per packet.
fix broken shutdown() and remove useless ctl() function.
when we hit a conflict where the pci INTL register gives us
a different irq than we get from southbridge irq router, dont
just change the router setting to the bios assigned irq (that
was previously known as the BIOS workarround), but assume the
southbridge setting to be valid and change the pci INTL register
on the device to it.
only when the router link doesnt seem to be configured or
disabled, then program the router to the irq that bios asisgned
in the INTL register.
the reason is that changing the router setting changes the
irq routing for *all* devices on the same link and changing
it breaks previously checked and valid interrupt routings.
(so happend with virtualbox where the last device on the bus
is some powermanagement device that has wrong INTL setting
and changing the routing breaks the ethernet interrupts)
this change shouldnt affect modern machines which use ioapic
and mp tables or acpi for pci interrupt routing.
we add new function convmemsize() that returns the size of
*usable* conventional memory that does some sanity checking
and reserves the last KB below the top of memory pointer.
this avoids lowraminit() overriding potential bios tables
and sigsearch() going off the rails looking for tables
at above 640K.
the x200s is too slow on a single core to keep up without
audio buffer underruns, so the idea is to flush screen
in parallel to witing audio samples in a separate process.
with the proc, we also can keep updating the screen on resize
when paused.
Based on OpenBSD driver:
- /sys/dev/pci/azalia.c rev 1.209
- /sys/dev/pci/pcidevs rev 1.1689
- only tested on amd64; machine is an Acer V5-573G
exact model: V5-573G-74518G1Takk
sed just continued writing past genbuf when it should stop
with "Output line too long".
quit when we get unspecified options.
stupid casts from long to char* for no reason.
some 0 vs nil cleanup.
traditionally, the pc kernel mapped the first 8MB of physical
address space. when the kernel size grows beyond that memory mapping,
it will crash on boot and theres no checking in the build process
making sure it fits.
with the pc64 kernel, it is not hard to always map the whole
kernel memory image from KZERO to end[], so that the kernel will
always fit into the initial mapping.
we can improve performance alot by using webfs which
does http keep alives for us, so connection setup
overhead is eleminated.
fix 9p flushes and double frees.
we can avoid some flickering when removing the software cursor
from the shadow framebuffer by avoiding the flushscreenimage()
call.
once the cursor is redrawn, we flush the combined rect of its
old and new position in one go.
werrstr() takes a format string as its first argument.
a common error is to pass user controlled string buffers
into werrstr() that might contain format string escapes
causing werrstr() to take bogus arguments from the stack
and crash.
so instead of doing:
werrstr(buf);
we want todo:
werrstr("%s", buf);
or if we have a local ERRMAX sized buffer that we can override:
errstr(buf, sizeof buf);
this fixes a potential format string problem where the
error string is passed to werrstr() as fmt. also, the
directory comparsion is simplified in this version using
a helper function.
when dial is called with a generic dialstring, it will try
/net and /net.alt in sequence. error out if the /net dial
gets interrupted and do not continue dialing /net.alt.
reduce stack usage by using the swaping nature of errstr()
instead of keeping two error string buffers on the stack.
theres a race where procstopwait() is interrupted by a note,
setting p->pdbg to nil *before* acquiering the lock and
and pexit() and procctl() accessing it assuming it doesnt
change under them while they are holding the lock.
previously, if dial was interrupted by an alarm or other note while connecting to a host that resolved to multiple ips, dial would ignore the interruption and try the next host. now dial properly returns with error when it is interrupted.
vmware in efi mode brings application processors up
with CR4 = 0 (pse disabled) which makes us page fault
when accessing the ap's pdb which might be in a 4MB
mapping when the boot processor used pse to setup
page tables.
so we unconditionally enable pse in apbootstrap
(and disable pae in case of surprises).
bug: as jpm pointed out, when we run aux/wpa in rio window
and delete the window, aux/wpa was killed as it shared the
note group of the window.
fix: fork the notegroup.
x230 booted in efi only (no csp) mode hangs
when traditional i8042reset() keyboard reset
is tried.
so we try acpireset() first which discoveres
and writes the acpi reset register.
instead of including kernel and config in the efi
fat image, we can just include the loaders and
read the plan9.ini and kernel from iso filesystem
just like the bios loaders.
the uartmini enable function used to override the baud
register so the effecive baudrate was always set to
115200 baud.
now the default baudrate of 9600 is set correctly and can
be changed in the console= boot parameter.
thanks aap and hiro for debugging, pizza and beer :)
having the memconf() (*e820=) last clutters the screen.
do it first, so we can read *acpi= and *bootscreen=
prints.
we want to continue using tftp even when the /cfg/pxe/$ether
file is not found. only when we detect no pxe/dhcp session,
then we switch to local filesystem (non-network boot).
to make it possible to mark the bootscreen framebuffer
as write combining in early initialization, mtrr() is
changed not not to error() but to return an error string.
as bootscreen() is used before multiprocessor initialization,
we have to synchronize the mtrr's for every processor as
it comes online. for this, a new mtrrsync() function is
provided that is called from cpuidentify() if mtrr support
is indicated.
the boot processor runs mtrrsync() which snarfs the
registers. later, mtrrsync() is run again from the
application processors which apply the values from the
boot processor.
checkmtrr() from mp.c was removed as its task is also
done by mtrrsync() now.
