# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 235063 05-May-2012 netchild

- >500 static DTrace probes for the linuxulator
- DTrace scripts to check for errors, performance, ...
they serve mostly as examples of what you can do with the static probe;s
with moderate load the scripts may be overwhelmed, excessive lock-tracing
may influence program behavior (see the last design decission)

Design decissions:
- use "linuxulator" as the provider for the native bitsize; add the
bitsize for the non-native emulation (e.g. "linuxuator32" on amd64)
- Add probes only for locks which are acquired in one function and released
in another function. Locks which are aquired and released in the same
function should be easy to pair in the code, inter-function
locking is more easy to verify in DTrace.
- Probes for locks should be fired after locking and before releasing to
prevent races (to provide data/function stability in DTrace, see the
man-page of "dtrace -v ..." and the corresponding DTrace docs).


# 231378 10-Feb-2012 ed

# 179486 02-Jun-2008 ed

Push down the major/minor conversion for pts/%u to improve consistency.

In the mpsafetty branch, Linux sshd seems to work properly inside a
jail. Some small modifications had to be made to the Linux compatibility
layer.

The Linux PTY routines always expect the device major number to be 136
or higher. Our code always set the major/minor number pair to 136:0.
This makes routines like ttyname() and ptsname() fail, because we'll end
up having ambiguous device numbers.

The conversion was not performed on all *stat() routines, which meant in
some cases the numbers didn't get transformed. By pushing the conversion
into linux_driver_get_major_minor(), the transformation will take place
on all calls.

# 161310 15-Aug-2006 netchild

Add the linux 2.6.x stuff (not used by default!):
- TLS - complete
- pid/tid mangling - complete
- thread area - complete
- futexes - complete with issues
- clone() extension - complete with some possible minor issues
- mq*/timer*/clock* stuff - complete but untested and the mq* stuff is
disabled when not build as part of the kernel with native FreeBSD mq*
support (module support for this will come later)

Tested with:
- linux-firefox - works, tested
- linux-opera - works, tested
- linux-realplay - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-skype - doesnt work, issue with futexes
- linux-rt2-demo - works, tested
- linux-acroread - doesnt work, unknown reason (coredump) and sometimes
issue with futexes
- various unix utilities in linux-base-gentoo3 and linux-base-fc4:
everything tried worked

On amd64 not everything is supported like on i386, the catchup is planned for
later when the remaining bugs in the new functions are fixed.

To test this new stuff, you have to run
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
to switch back use
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2

Don't switch while running a linux program, strange things may or may not
happen.

# 158311 05-May-2006 ambrisko

Enhance the Linux emulation layer to make MegaRAID SAS managements tool happy.
Add back in a scheme to emulate old type major/minor numbers via hooks into
stat, linprocfs to return major/minors that Linux app's expect. Currently
only /dev/null is always registered. Drivers can register via the Linux
type shim similar to the ioctl shim but by using
linux_device_register_handler/linux_device_unregister_handler functions.
The structure is:

struct linux_device_handler {
char *bsd_driver_name;
char *linux_driver_name;
char *bsd_device_name;
char *linux_device_name;
int linux_major;
int linux_minor;
int linux_char_device;
};

Linprocfs uses this to display the major number of the driver. The
soon to be available linsysfs will use it to fill in the driver name.
Linux_stat uses it to translate the major/minor into Linux type values.

Note major numbers are dynamically assigned via passing in a -1 for
the major number so we don't need to keep track of them.

This is somewhat needed due to us switching to our devfs. MegaCli
will not run until I add in the linsysfs and mfi Linux compat changes.

# 124537 14-Jan-2004 truckman

VOP_GETATTR() wants the vnode passed to it to be locked. Instead
of adding the code to lock and unlock the vnodes and taking care
to avoid deadlock, simplify linux_emul_convpath() by comparing the
vnode pointers directly instead of comparing their va_fsid and
va_fileid attributes. This allows the removal of the calls to
VOP_GETATTR().

# 102803 01-Sep-2002 iedowse

Add a new function linux_emul_convpath(), which is a version of

that the CHECKALT* macros wrap linux_emul_find().

the Linuxulator will now return ENAMETOOLONG even if the path
is smaller than MAXPATHLEN.

# 14331 02-Mar-1996 peter

Mega-commit for Linux emulator update.. This has been stress tested under
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.
