There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14

have successfully built, booted, and run a number of different ELF
kernel configurations, including GENERIC. LINT also builds and
links cleanly, though I have not tried to boot it.
The impact on developers is virtually nil, except for two things.
All linker sets that might possibly be present in the kernel must be
listed in "sys/i386/i386/setdefs.h". And all C symbols that are
also referenced from assembly language code must be listed in
"sys/i386/include/asnames.h". It so happens that failure to do
these things will have no impact on the a.out kernel. But it will
break the build of the ELF kernel.
The ELF bootloader works, but it is not ready to commit quite yet.

- use a more accurate and more efficient method of compensating for
overheads. The old method counted too much time against leaf
functions.
- normally use the Pentium timestamp counter if available.
On Pentiums, the times are now accurate to within a couple of cpu
clock cycles per function call in the (unlikely) event that there
are no cache misses in or caused by the profiling code.
- optionally use an arbitrary Pentium event counter if available.
- optionally regress to using the i8254 counter.
- scaled the i8254 counter by a factor of 128. Now the i8254 counters
overflow slightly faster than the TSC counters for a 150MHz Pentium :-)

Also disabled -Wunused. It caused too many warnings even for me.
The sign mismatch warnings should be fixed first. They are more
important and harder to disable (they are controlled by -W, which
controls too many things).
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image

USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

The only excuse this had for becoming misordered was that some drivers
were sorted on the driver name field, but the ffs versus mfs ordering
shows that this is not a consistent order.
The only case that I know of where simple sorting is wrong is for files

normally otherwise. Then the line with `profiling-routine' must appear

of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other

This code has been reviewed (visually) by Paul Richards and

Since the parameters to nearly each and every single function

there is some potential for buglets having crept in ...

access a large number of directories at random and torture the name cache.
Defining 5000 or 10000 extra vnodes should cut down the amount of vnode
recycling somewhat, which should allow better name and directory caching
etc.
This is a "your mileage may vary" option, with no real indication of
what works best for your machine except trial and error. Too many will
cost you ram that you could otherwise use for disk buffers etc.
This is based on something John Dyson mentioned to me a while ago.

is enabled by having an "device ed0 at isa? [...]" config line.
The first PCI card will get a unit number one higher than the highest
defined for any ISA card of the ED type, e.g. if ed0 and ed1 are
configured, then the PCI cards will be ed2, ed3, ...
BEWARE: If you have configured your kernel as ed0 with the port address
as assigned by the PCI BIOS, then your card will be found by both the
PCI and ISA probes, and bad things may happen. Make sure to restore
the original port address form the GENERIC kernel for the ed0 device!

- Disabled the statistics clock on machines which have an APM BIOS and
have the options "APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK" enabled (which is default
in GENERIC now)
- move around some of the code in clock.c dealing with the rtc to make

This also adds inlines to cpufunc.h for the RDTSC, RDMSR, WRMSR, and RDPMC

there is also a kernel-size interface which might be used to aid

Compile and link a new kernel, that will give native ELF support, and
provide the hooks for other ELF interpreters as well.
To make native ELF binaries use John Polstras elf-kit-1.0.1..
For the time being also use his ld-elf.so.1 and put it in
/usr/libexec.
The Linux emulator has been enhanced to also run ELF binaries, it
is however in its very first incarnation.
Just get some Linux ELF libs (Slackware-3.0) and put them in the
prober place (/compat/linux/...).
I've ben able to run all the Slackware-3.0 binaries I've tried
so far.
(No it won't run quake yet :)
netscape-2.0 for Linux running all the Java stuff. The scrollbars are now
working, at least on my machine. (whew! :-)
I'm uncomfortable with the size of this commit, but it's too
inter-dependant to easily seperate out.
The main changes:
COMPAT_LINUX is *GONE*. Most of the code has been moved out of the i386
machine dependent section into the linux emulator itself. The int 0x80
syscall code was almost identical to the lcall 7,0 code and a minor tweak
allows them to both be used with the same C code. All kernels can now
just modload the lkm and it'll DTRT without having to rebuild the kernel
first. Like IBCS2, you can statically compile it in with "options LINUX".
A pile of new syscalls implemented, including getdents(), llseek(),
readv(), writev(), msync(), personality(). The Linux-ELF libraries want
to use some of these.
linux_select() now obeys Linux semantics, ie: returns the time remaining
of the timeout value rather than leaving it the original value.
Quite a few bugs removed, including incorrect arguments being used in
syscalls.. eg: mixups between passing the sigset as an int, vs passing
it as a pointer and doing a copyin(), missing return values, unhandled
cases, SIOC* ioctls, etc.
The build for the code has changed. i386/conf/files now knows how
to build linux_genassym and generate linux_assym.h on the fly.
Supporting changes elsewhere in the kernel:
The user-mode signal trampoline has moved from the U area to immediately
below the top of the stack (below PS_STRINGS). This allows the different
binary emulations to have their own signal trampoline code (which gets rid
of the hardwired syscall 103 (sigreturn on BSD, syslog on Linux)) and so
that the emulator can provide the exact "struct sigcontext *" argument to
the program's signal handlers.
The sigstack's "ss_flags" now uses SS_DISABLE and SS_ONSTACK flags, which
have the same values as the re-used SA_DISABLE and SA_ONSTACK which are
intended for sigaction only. This enables the support of a SA_RESETHAND
flag to sigaction to implement the gross SYSV and Linux SA_ONESHOT signal
semantics where the signal handler is reset when it's triggered.
makesyscalls.sh no longer appends the struct sysentvec on the end of the
generated init_sysent.c code. It's a lot saner to have it in a seperate
file rather than trying to update the structure inside the awk script. :-)
At exec time, the dozen bytes or so of signal trampoline code are copied
to the top of the user's stack, rather than obtaining the trampoline code
the old way by getting a clone of the parent's user area. This allows
Linux and native binaries to freely exec each other without getting
trampolines mixed up.
