COMPAT4X libraries are occasionally get updated, and if you have 4.x applications to continue running, you'd better to be safe than sorry, and add COMPAT4X=true to /etc/make.conf, so that installworld installs them on every run.

You may need to install : the 4.x compatibility libraries for some old binaries : to work. Add COMPAT4X=true to your /etc/make.conf to : get them installed on every installworld, or execute the : following to get them installed only once: : cd src/lib/compat/compat4x.arch : make all install : You will see ``__stdoutp undefined'' until you do this.

Hi All, As we just have noted, there is no output anymore for netstat -f inet. Has the support been dropped ? Also there are only unix domain sockets in the normal netstat output. I cannot see any tpc4 connections anymore. I noted this in 4.5 PRERELEASE too. It used to work in 4.3 RELEASE and 4.4 RELEASE. So it got broken trough a MFC between 4.4 and 4.5.

Before this menu is presented, sysinstall asks if there is a usb mouse or not.

Basically the state is:
GENERIC compiles
(I don't know yet if it runs but I doubt it.)
The following changes have been made:
The 'thread' structure is no longer a built-in part of the proc structure.
There is an infrastructure to independently crfeate and reap threads.
The infrastructure is used to create and destroy the 'usual' single
thread
associated with each process. It should eventually be used to create
more
threads per process..
The 'state' variable associated with the process has been raped and
now each thread, and process and KSE has it's own state.
This last part is the bit that is broken because a LOT of the kernel
doesn't expect the state of a thread to be spread across several
structures.
For example:
switch (p-p_stat) {
case SRUN:
...
case SSTOP:
..
has to be completely rewritten because
SRUN is a per-thread property
and is accessed as:
FOREACH_THREAD_IN_PROC(p, td) {
switch(td-td_state) {
case TDS_RUNNING:
case TDS_RUNQ:
case TDS_SLP:
...
}
...
}
wheras STOP is still a per-process state.
obviously any code that tries to assume the same scope for these tow
states will break violently in the new code.
I have replaced some of the logic where there seems to be a simple
answer,
but there are plenty of places where the answer is not clear.
Such places include signal delivery,
selection of process (thread?) to deliver a signal to,
collection of scheduling statistics,
handling FORK run by one of several threads,
handling EXIT run by one of several threads,
handling when the user types ^Z and suspends the process.
If anyone is feeling adventurous they can stat with the code that is
there
and start fixing things :-)
send me patches but let me know ahead of time what you will be doing
so we don't duplicate, and so I can send you notes on where I'm going
in
that part..
I'll be working on the scheduler for the next few days I think.

it
does now.. :-)

(I don't know yet if it runs but I doubt it.)
The following changes have been made:
The 'thread' structure is no longer a built-in part of the proc structure.
There is an infrastructure to independently crfeate and reap threads.
The infrastructure is used to create and destroy the 'usual' single
thread
associated with each process. It should eventually be used to create
more
threads per process..
The 'state' variable associated with the process has been raped and
now each thread, and process and KSE has it's own state.
This last part is the bit that is broken because a LOT of the kernel
doesn't expect the state of a thread to be spread across several
structures.
For example:
switch (p-p_stat) {
case SRUN:
...
case SSTOP:
..
has to be completely rewritten because
SRUN is a per-thread property
and is accessed as:
FOREACH_THREAD_IN_PROC(p, td) {
switch(td-td_state) {
case TDS_RUNNING:
case TDS_RUNQ:
case TDS_SLP:
...
}
...
}
wheras STOP is still a per-process state.
obviously any code that tries to assume the same scope for these tow
states will break violently in the new code.
I have replaced some of the logic where there seems to be a simple
answer,
but there are plenty of places where the answer is not clear.
Such places include signal delivery,
selection of process (thread?) to deliver a signal to,
collection of scheduling statistics,
handling FORK run by one of several threads,
handling EXIT run by one of several threads,
handling when the user types ^Z and suspends the process.
If anyone is feeling adventurous they can stat with the code that is
there
and start fixing things :-)
send me patches but let me know ahead of time what you will be doing
so we don't duplicate, and so I can send you notes on where I'm going
in
that part..
I'll be working on the scheduler for the next few days I think.
Note: if ((p-p_flag P_KSES) == 0) a process should act exactly as
it
does now.. :-)

Re: Dropping bsd.man.mk support from bsd.kmod.mk
: And now I recall. Peter told me that at some : point there will be no sys/modules at all. I'm not objecting. We don't use sys/modules, but do use bsd.kmod.mk to build our drivers outside of the sys tree. Any successor to sys/modules must allow this (ideally with the same makefiles we have now, or very similar).
