Sun finally released a new version of fdlibm just a coupe of weeks
ago. It only fixes 3 bugs (this one, another one in pow() that we
already have (rev.1.9), and one in tan(). I've learned too much about
powf() lately, so this fix was easy to merge. The patch is not verbatim,
because our base version has many differences for portability and I
didn't like global renaming of an unrelated variable to keep it separate
from the sign variable. This patch uses a new variable named sn for
the sign.
[t=p_l+p_h High]. We multiply t by lg2_h, and want the result to be
exact. For the bogus float case of the high-low decomposition trick,
we normally discard the lowest 12 bits of the fraction for the high
part, keeping 12 bits of precision. That was used for t here, but it
doesnt't work because for some reason we only discard the lowest 9
bits in the fraction for lg2_h. Discard another 3 bits of the fraction
for t to compensate.
This bug gave wrong results like:
powf(0.9999999, -2.9999995) = 1.0000002 (should be 1.0000001)
hex values: 3F7FFFFF C03FFFFE 3F800002 3F800001
As explained in the log for the previous commit, the bug is normally
masked by doing float calculations in extra precision on i386's, but
is easily detected by ucbtest on systems that don't have accidental
extra precision.
This completes fixing all the bugs in powf() that were routinely found
by ucbtest.
(1) The bit for the 1.0 part of bp[k] was right shifted by 4. This seems
to have been caused by a typo in converting e_pow.c to e_powf.c.
(2) The lower 12 bits of ax+bp[k] were not discarded, so t_h was actually
plain ax+bp[k]. This seems to have been caused by a logic error in
the conversion.
These bugs gave wrong results like:
powf(-1.1, 101.0) = -15158.703 (should be -15158.707)
hex values: BF8CCCCD 42CA0000 C66CDAD0 C66CDAD4
Fixing (1) gives a result wrong in the opposite direction (hex C66CDAD8),
and fixing (2) gives the correct result.
ucbtest has been reporting this particular wrong result on i386 systems
with unpatched libraries for 9 years. I finally figured out the extent
of the bugs. On i386's they are normally hidden by extra precision.
We use the trick of representing floats as a sum of 2 floats (one much
smaller) to get extra precision in intermediate calculations without
explicitly using more than float precision. This trick is just a
pessimization when extra precision is available naturally (as it always
is when dealing with IEEE single precision, so the float precision part
of the library is mostly misimplemented). (1) and (2) break the trick
in different ways, except on i386's it turns out that the intermediate
calculations are done in enough precision to mask both the bugs and
the limited precision of the float variables (as far as ucbtest can
check).
ucbtest detects the bugs because it forces float precision, but this
is not a normal mode of operation so the bug normally has little effect
on i386's.
On systems that do float arithmetic in float precision, e.g., amd64's,
there is no accidental extra precision and the bugs just give wrong
results.
descriptors out of fdrop_locked() and into vn_closefile(). This
removes all knowledge of vnodes from fdrop_locked(), since the lock
behavior was specific to vnodes. This also removes the specific
requirement for Giant in fdrop_locked(), it's now only required by
code that it calls into.
Add GIANT_REQUIRED to vn_closefile() since VFS requires Giant.

the socket is on an accept queue of a listen socket. This change
renames the flags to SQ_COMP and SQ_INCOMP, and moves them to a new
state field on the socket, so_qstate, as the locking for these flags
is substantially different for the locking on the remainder of the
flags in so_state.

compile-time option, where:
ps -options arg1 arg2
(with no '-' on "arg1" and "arg2") was treated as:
ps -options -N arg1 -M arg2
This also changes `ps' to check for any additional arguments after
processing all the '-'-options, and attempt to use those arguments as
a pid or pidlist. If an extra argument is not a valid pidlist, then
`ps' will print an error and exit. This seems a more generally useful
extension of the kludge-option processing than the -N/-M behavior, and
has fewer confusing side-effects.

fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK).
Pass the MSG_NBIO flag to the soreceive() and sosend() calls in

on the underlying socket for each I/O operation. The O_NONBLOCK
flag is a property of the descriptor, and unlike ordinary sockets,
fifos may be referenced by multiple descriptors.
about the risks of enabling raw sockets in prisons.
Because raw sockets can be used to configure and interact
with various network subsystems, extra caution should be
used where privileged access to jails is given out to
untrusted parties. As such, by default this option is disabled.
A few others and I are currently auditing the kernel
source code to ensure that the use of raw sockets by
privledged prison users is safe.

mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of
extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein.
Extensions to UMA worth noting:
- Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce
Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the
zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked
on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache);
perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on
top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9),
for example.
- UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference
counters automagically allocated for them within the end
of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt()
does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from
the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt.
mbuma things worth noting:
- integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA
and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines
several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs.
- change up certain code paths that always used to do:
m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and
try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary
Packet zone.
- netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic
stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be
done once some other details within UMA have been taken
care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work
within the modified framework.
From the user perspective, one implication is that the
NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The
maximum number of clusters is still capped off according
to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting
the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero.
Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl
handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters
at runtime.
Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ):
- One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really
slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data.
Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with
and without mbuma.
- Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't
reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is
able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific
problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma.
- Issues in network locking: there is at least one
code path in the rip code where one or more locks
are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with
M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within
UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA
allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now
to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we
can determine with certainty that we're not holding
any locks when we're M_WAITOK.
- I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but-
mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this
to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes
open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps.
This change removes more code than it adds.
A paper is available detailing the change and considering
various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004:
