discussed on current.
The following variables are defined (for now):
osname (defaults to "Linux")
Allow users to change the name of the OS as returned by uname(2),
specially added for all those Linux Netscape users and statistics
maniacs :-) We now have what we all wanted!
osrelease (defaults to "2.2.5")
Allow users to change the version of the OS as returned by uname(2).
Since -current supports glibc2.1 now, change the default to 2.2.5
(was 2.0.36).
oss_version (defaults to 198144 [0x030600])
This one will be used by the OSS_GETVERSION ioctl (PR 12917) which I
can commit now that we have the MIB. The default version number is the
lowest version possible with the current 'encoding'.
A note about imprisoned processes (see jail(2)):
These variables are copy-on-write (as suggested by phk). This means that
imprisoned processes will use the system wide value unless it is written/set
by the process. From that moment on, a copy local to the prison will be
used.
A note about the implementation:
I choose to add a single pointer to struct prison, because I didn't like the
idea of changing struct prison every time I come up with a new variable. As
a side effect, the extra storage is only needed when a variable is set from
within the prison. This also minimizes kernel bloat when the Linuxulator is
not used; both compiled in or as a module.

Make the alias list a SLIST.
Drop the "fast recycling" optimization of vnodes (including
the returning of a prexisting but stale vnode from checkalias).
It doesn't buy us anything now that we don't hardlimit
vnodes anymore.
Rename checkalias2() and checkalias() to addalias() and
addaliasu() - which takes dev_t and udev_t arg respectively.
Make the revoke syscalls use vcount() instead of VALIASED.
Remove VALIASED flag, we don't need it now and it is faster
to traverse the much shorter lists than to maintain the
flag.
vfs_mountedon() can check the dev_t directly, all the vnodes
point to the same one.
Print the devicename in specfs/vprint().
Remove a couple of stale LFS vnode flags.
Remove unimplemented/unused LK_DRAINED;

While I'm at it, fix style bugs in all {s|ls|fs}tat syscalls.

egid will be twice in the set and that setting cr_groups[0] will change egid.
This is simply solved by ignoring cr_groups[0]. That is; linux_getgroups does
not return cr_groups[0] and linux_setgroups does not touch it.

While I'm at it, also fix the dupo in the format string and fix the annoying

functions use the new sigset_t and sigaction_t which allows support for more
than 32 signals. Only the lower 32 signals are supported for now.
linux_rt_sigaction, linux_sigaction and linux_signal use linux_do_sigaction
to do the actual work. That way unnecessary redundancy is avoided. The same
has been done for linux_rt_sigprocmask and linux_sigprocmask. They call
linux_do_sigprocmask to do the actual work.

in the pathname translation procedure. This proves fatal, and can be
easily fixed. This or a similar change needs to be committed to svr4_util.h
and ibcs2_util.h. I will update ibcs2_util.h, if noone else thinks of a
better way to do this, in the same manner. I will leave svr4 to the
respective maintainer.
This closes the problem of the only crash I've been able to produce as
a user recently, except for (currently not-in-the-source tree) fd
table sharing fixes. Thanks goes to pho for his stress-testers.
their svr4_stat64 structures with old dev_t values instead of udev_t's.
Panic was caused when major() and minor() were called with args which
weren't pointers. The panic was probably introduced in rev 1.51 of
kern_conf.c
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.
Provide functions to manipulate both types:
major() umajor()
minor() uminor()
makedev() umakedev()
dev2udev() udev2dev()
For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.
Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.
Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.
In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.
In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits. This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).
A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference. If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.
Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.
Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.
Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
- %fs register is added to trapframe and saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.
- Per-cpu pages are no longer mapped at the same virtual address.
- Each cpu now has a separate gdt selector table. A new segment selector
is added to point to per-cpu pages, per-cpu global variables are now
accessed through this new selector (%fs). The selectors in gdt table are
rearranged for cache line optimization.
- fask_vfork is now on as default for both UP and SMP.
- Some aio code cleanup.
