I don't think that's a wise idea. Currently, in pcib_attach(), after the call to pcib_attach_common(), I check to see if sc-secbus is 0. If it is, I call a new function, pcib_attach_cold(), which tries to initialize the bridge as if the BIOS had never touched it. So far this 'kinda' appears to do the right thing; the onboard OHCI controller gets its resources OK.

re: kernel killing processes when out of swap
I've often wondered why swap doesn't have a root-only x% like the file system. Once the swap used reached 100% user processes would bomb but a root process could go ahead and use the secret x%. Another idea would be to have multiple swap files and implement a way to restrict one swap area to a specific GID (say wheel). While on the issue we could also reserve a range of process ID's for wheel group only. To always be able to log on and un-wedge a system would be most convenient.

Route/arp help?
To access my dsl modem's line stats page, I have to create an arp entry and a route for it, under linux this was done as: (eth1 connected directly to dsl modem) ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add 10.0.0.1 dev eth1 arp -s 10.0.0.1 ff(not really f, but the MAC address of the dsl modem, NOT the nic). unfortunately, I cant seem to figure out the commands to get this to work under FreeBSD 5.3 Ifconfig is simple enough (replace eth1 with de0 in my case) Arp seems the same (except it needs colons) But the route command I have no clue.

not able to get controlling tty
Hi,
I have a program which prints the name of the controlling terminal. The
code snippet is as
follows:
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int mib[4], len;
struct kinfo_proc buf;
udev_t ttydev;
register struct dirent *dirp;
register DIR *dp;
struct stat dsb;
char namebuf[sizeof(PATH_DEV) + MAXNAMLEN];
mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
mib[1] = KERN_PROC;
mib[2] = KERN_PROC_PID;
mib[3] = getpid();
len = sizeof (buf);
sysctl(mib, 4, buf, len, NULL, 0);
ttydev = buf.kp_eproc.e_tdev;
printf(ttydev is %u, major = %d, minor = %d\n, ttydev,
major(ttydev), minor(ttydev));
if (!(dp = opendir(PATH_DEV)))
return 1;
strlcpy(namebuf, PATH_DEV, sizeof(PATH_DEV));
while ((dirp = readdir(dp))) {
memset(namebuf + sizeof(PATH_DEV) - 1, '\0',
MAXNAMLEN - sizeof(PATH_DEV) + 1);
memcpy(namebuf + sizeof(PATH_DEV) - 1, dirp-d_name,
dirp-d_namlen + 1);
if (stat(namebuf, dsb) || (dsb.st_rdev != ttydev))
continue;
printf(OK found\n);
break;
}
}
The value returned by buf.kp_eproc.e_tdev doesn't seems to be right.
#/tmp/abc
ttydev is 30479, major = 119, minor = 15
Device name is /dev/log
# /tmp/abc
ttydev is 30577, major = 119, minor = 113
Device name is /dev/log
ttydev keeps on changing every time I run same program on same terminal.
Is there any way to get terminal device (udev_t) from struct kinfo_proc?

Performance trouble on AMD64 webserver
Hi, I've an 2 processor Opteron server (Sun v20z) with 4GB of RAM. It runs FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE. Everything is roses for 1-2 minutes after starting Apache. Then the server freezes for 10-20 seconds then resumes normal operation and chokes every couple of minutes. I tried with 512 and 1024 httpd processes running. It is a fairly dynamic webpage. Apache is coupled with mod_php. Each process takes 18-19MB of resident memory. I was tuning the machine after getting the nefarious collectng PV entries ... message. I tried to increase PMAP_SHPGPERPROC and all. It doesn't make the performance better. Snapshot of vmstat -z gives: ... PV ENTRY: 48, 4312872, 1611440, 616384, 8657151 The free value decreases to something close to 0 then the machine chokes to get back up to some large value.

Help Wanted! [Re: Does anybody use gdb for kernel debugging any more?]
[Resending to get wider coverage] All, While there are ways to work around some of the problems that Greg describes, the simple fact is that kernel debugging has gone downhill quite badly in the past year. Much of this decay appears to be due to the rush to get GDB 6.x imported in time for FreeBSD 5.3. I thank Marcel profusely for working on this, but more work is needed. I'm looking for volunteers to spend a few evenings digging into GDB, KDB, and DDB and working out as many issues as possible. Greg's email should serve as a good starting point for these tasks. Thanks, Scott Greg 'groggy' Lehey wrote: In the last 10 months, I've had continual problems trying to use gdb for kernel debugging. I'm currently revising my notes for the BSDCan tutorial, and I can't work out how to get it to work any more. Since about June of last year I've discovered: - I can no longer get a dump out of ddb with the 'panic' command. I need to 'call doadump' - 'panic' doesn't only not do a dump, it doesn't reset the system either. I need to press 'reset'. - The invocation to do kernel debugging with gdb keeps changing. A year ago, it was simple: 'gdb -k kernel dump'. Now the -k command is gone, and on what I believe to be a valid kernel dump, kgdb gives me: # kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.1 kgdb: cannot read PTD - It's possible that the dump isn't valid after all, of course. But I can't debug the local system via /dev/mem either: # kgdb kernel.debug /dev/mem [GDB will not be able to debug user-mode threads: /usr/lib/libthread_db.so: Undefined symbol ps_pglobal_lookup] (kgdb) bt #0 0x in ?? () - Firewire debugging no longer works if you haven't compiled firewire into the kernel. Given the bugs I've seen above, I can't be bothered to try building a kernel with firewire, since I don't have much expectation that it will work either way. So what gives? Has the gdb interface withered away due to lack of love? Do *you* use it? If so, how do you address the issues above?

My guess is that the same is true in Linux, but I don't know the exact syntax there. Because that just doesnt work, like ive mentioned above, I have to force a different MAC address into the ARP table. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/9693 is what im trying to accomplish. su-2.05b# ifconfig ed0 alias 10.0.0.2/24 su-2.05b# telnet 10.0.0.1 Trying 10.0.0.1... ^C su-2.05b# arp -s 10.0.0.1 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4 su-2.05b# telnet 10.0.0.1 Trying 10.0.0.1... ^C oh well, I thank all you guys for trying to help, its just not working, and Im not going to waste any more of your guys time on it. Great to see helpful people in the mailing list, so Im going to stick around. :-) And for the record, the linux commands are: (and these commands work, as Ive used it for months in this setup): ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add 10.0.0.1 dev eth1 arp -s 10.0.0.1 000b232ab0c4 Mark ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It doesnt seem to follow the same syntax as linux, and I havent figured out the correct syntax yet. Any help? Thanks, Mark Honestly I have no clue why its not working, it should be simple, but it isnt.. Here is what the arp cache shows and the routing table (and its ed0, not de0, my mistake in original message). arp: (after doing the arp -s command) modem (10.0.0.1) at 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4 on ed0 permanent [ethernet] this looks right doesnt it? route: defaultmydslgateway UGS 0 8173 tun0 10/24 link#1 UC 00ed0 modem 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4 UHLS04ed0 = 10.0.0.1/32link#1 UCS 00ed0 no idea here? 3 for ed0? is that right? note, ed0 is also creating the tun0 device (pppoe), but that was never a problem in linux. I was under the impression (but would need to check to make sure) that all incoming packets are diverted to ng_pppoe when it is hooked into the Ethernet interface. This would explain your problems. Can you try this without the interface being used for PPPOE? Im just confused. :( Its not a big deal, as its only my dsl line stats, but still confused why it aint working For the record, http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/9693 is the page on how you access the line stats, and the MAC part is required for my modem.
