On the x86, saving FPU state has the side effect of resetting this
state. In some cases (fork, getcontext), this would cause the state
to be lost. This patch restores the FPU state right after saving it,
except when different state is loaded immediately after.
Previously, user processes could cause a kernel panic upon FPU state
restore, by passing bogus FPU state to the kernel (through e.g.
sigreturn). With this patch, the process is now sent a SIGFPE signal
instead.
The NetBSD boot loader loads automatically the kernel module appropriate
for the detected root file system; it is preset at "ffs". The MINIX3fs
support does not reset the underlying global variable, since there are
no use for this on MINIX. As a result, the boot loader searches for
/ffs.kmod, and issues two warnings about "module failure to open/load."
If the provided path was only a single component (i.e., without
slashes), then last_dir would return early and skip the symlink
detection (i.e., check whether the path ends in a symlink and resolve
that first before returning). This bug triggered an assert in open
which expects that an advance after an last_dir (with VMNT_WRITE lock)
does not yield another vmnt lock.
The assert was meant as an additional check to the assert in link.c:198.
The reasoning behind the assert in link.c:198 is that once you've
obtained a write lock on a vmnt, you can't get an additional read lock
on the same vmnt. However, that does not always hold for the assert in
path.c:281 where the situation could be that you've obtained a read lock
and managed to get another read lock (this is possible). In other words,
the assert in path.c:281 is not the right place to check for that
situation.
- Fix locking bug when unable to send DEV_SELECT request. Upon failure
VFS tried to cancel the select operation, but this failed due to trying
to lock a filp that was already locked to send the request in the first
place. Do_select_request now handles locking of filps itself instead of
relying on the caller to do it. This fixes a crash when killing INET.
- Fix failure to revive a process after a non-blocking select operation
yielded no ready select operations when replying DEV_SEL_REPL1.
- Improve readability by using OK, SUSPEND, and standard error values as
results instead of having separate macros in select.
- Don't print not having a driver for a major device; after killing a driver
select will trigger this printf.
. harmonize bsd.lib.mk and bsd.man.mk with netbsd files
. throw out minix section 3 (library calls) manpages,
replaced by netbsd ones that are now installed
