Startup problem with DP1
Hi ! I am starting to be developer on Fbsd and sometime I was working on 5.0, then I stopped because of lack of time, and after a while I couldn't build no more, so I decided to reinstall my development environment. Install went OK, but startup didn't. I know excatly where the problem is. I am using VMWare workstation on Win2000, and on compile of kernel, I must change one line in one source file... Problem is that install installed DP1 version of kernel which is normal, so my computer won't start. Is there any way to make some 4.4 boot disks so that I could start system build new kernel and then start again. I tried with PicoBSD system, but I couldn't get it to work. Original version is just 3-BETA, which doesn't support disks I use (I use ad, 3 supports wd). Please, any help will be appreciated so that I can continue with my work.

Re: Seeking OK to commit KSE MIII
When it comes right down to it, I am getting wholely sick and tired of people acting like rulez-police and complaining about the most minor, most insignificant syntactical changes imagineable. The rest of us developers have better things to do with their time then to spend it on a few undistinguished braces that have no effect whatsoever on readability or reviewability and, frankly, are so insignificant that it doesn't even make sense to commit them separately. You don't believe me? Read Julian's diff and the commit he just made and try telling me that it absolutely *HAD* to be a separate commit because you wouldn't have been able to read the diff otherwise. It is an absolutely ridiculuous thought. Now if someone was going through files making dozens of syntactical changes intermixed with other things then, sure, you could request that they be put in separately and I would call it a reasonable request. But that is not what is going on here. Not by a long shot. We have people on this list that complain over the smallest 'infraction' of the rules, and then jump up the alleged significance of the event by foretelling gloom and doom and the end of all things if the rules are not followed exactly to a T. It MUST STOP. It is not good for the development community or the project. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

We've been over this particular case several times before. After the dust has settled, we've decided that we would allow it as long as it wasn't excessive. ie: it is ok to change this: if (foo) { fumble(); futz(); } else bah; into } else { bah; } or to change this: if (foo) fumble(); else { futz(); bah; } into: if (foo) { fumble(); } else { But it is generally NOT ok do change: if (foo) fumble() else futz(); into: if (foo) { fumble(); } else { futz(); } Of course, a couple of provisos apply: - It is preferable to do this as a seperate commit. Note: preferable. - It is not appropriate to do this on sections of code that we are ever likely to have to sync up with somebody else. (unless the other parties are doing something similar). - reformatting rampages are not OK (we've had these before, see the "Delete trailing whitespace" commits and the flamewar that resulted). - Use good judgement when changing stuff. Do not change things into one's own perferred style when it is well known that folks object strongly to that particular style. The style guide is a "common ground" that we've all agreed to try and adhere to vs using our own. (I personally came from a 2-space indent background, etc. I had to make big concessions to the common format just like everybody else.)

I'm rewriting the clause and consider that as a 3 line clasue with 2 levels of indent it makes it more "error resistant" to have the braces..

It is possible that the correct answer is to rename thread_unsuspend() to proc_check_unsuspend(). There are three reasons a process may be suspended and we've only released one of them here. It was called thread_unsuspend() because it is one of a suite of functions that are in the thread control code, but it's function really is process-wide so it should probably start with proc_.. thoughts? > > > > > > 6) In cpu_set_retval() you have: > > > > + frame->tf_edx = aux;/* I dunno */ [..] > > I'll make is a bit more correct > > > > > 7) Please follow the established convention for names of members in > >pcb_ext and call 'refcount' 'ext_refccount'. > removed > > > > > 8) It would be nice if the CURSIG() -> cursig() change were committed > >separately to avoid obfuscating the other diffs. > > yeah that is a "mini" thing :-) I'll see what I can do. > > > > 10) In kern_sig.c, prototypes are declared on one line and near the > >beginning of the file, not in the middle of code (tdsignal). > Fixed > > > > 11) Why is there a whole chunk of code #if 0'd out in kern_sig.c?

There may still be a race, however as we call thread_alloc() from thread_schedule_upcall() which is in turn called from within msleep().. personally this just protects us from trying to recurse if we end up trying to sleep because we are trying to allocate a new one.

Either make the "base" code cleaned up by committing non-functional changes first, or commit against the "base" code your functional changes, and then clean it up.

And for what it's worth, I'm all for readability improvements in our code, I just also like to go and view diffs sometimes and try to figure out what's changed. But I think you're also right on the rule of thumb thing, if someone does not want to do this favor to everyone who might want to read diffs or annotate changes to the code and get something meaningful, that's fine. I've done it plenty of times myself. However, I tend to do that locally first, and then commit the harmless things as I go.

But I don't think it's fair to do the merge like you're saying... But back to where this started, it's just a rule of thumb. Furthermore, it'd be nice if as people made stylistic changes for outside projects they committed them to the central repository, where applicable. Anyway, I'm out of paint. Good day. -- J.

: :> Furthermore, it is an extreme and inappropriate imposition on Julian :> to require that he extract all the alleged 'gratuitous braces and :> ()'s)' into a separate commit. : :Uh, no it isn't. That is the rules we operate under. This type of :request comes up _daily_, and is generally agreed upon by most :committers. Sorry, but the work involved is just part of making commits. I see the request come up a lot. Most of the requests and most of the justification appears to come from people who are acting in the role of net-police rather then for any reason actually related to development work. If you read the diffs separately in the midst of a review, then good for you! You are an exception to the rule. I find it a waste of time myself. I just diff the whole damn thing when I review the code so I can see everything context and do a single pass over it. It takes less time. Consider the amount of time Julian would have to waste to locate, separate, and commit the pieces, verses the amount of time the few (three?) developers likely to review his patches will waste going through the crud. In your case that amount of time wasted will be near 0 since you say you are looking at the crud along with the meat. Then consider which of the following actions is more appropriate: * Hey J, please separate out the whitespace/braces changes and make two separate commits before doing anything else. * Hey J, the patches look good but I sure would appreciate it if, the next time, you would get the whitespace/bracing changes committed and out of the way first. Don't worry about it this time. In regards to developer relationships and keeping things civil and less stressful on the lists, #(2) is the far better solution and, frankly, I think we should *CODIFY* that in the rules certain people seem to enjoy quoting so much. And that, David, is why the whitespace rules should be a 'rules of thumb' rather then a 'you will do this or else' rule. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

For complex patches, which should get good and thorough reviews before they are committed, avoiding unsubstantial style/whitespace changes from cluttering the patch should be mandatory. Julians patch clearly belongs in this category. Consequently, it is in Julians own interest to get the whitespace/style changes into the tree first (they don't need a review, if he does them right) since that makes the patch people have to read through correspondingly smaller. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

So bitching about this kluge is meaningless: changing it back to M_WAITOK won't make the little F'er go away, it will just *hide* the kludge from people to lazy to read the code all the way down, and know *why* they have to check for a NULL return from a call that's *supposed to wait* until it's return will *not* be NULL. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

You do know we create it >stopped at first and then make it runnable after doing fixups >after fork1(), right? Because in a threaded world, setrunqueue() also makes it runnable (see later for reason). that's why I removed ALL the setting of threads to runnable.. It's part of the atomic operation (under locks) of adding it ot the run queue. I never have a state in a thread that does not correctly reflect its queued state.. (at least that is my aim.). If the flags/state say it is runnable and on the run queue (TDS_RUNQ) then it IS on the run queue, not "soon to be on the run queue". This allows me to accuratly control the queues by BELIEVING what the state says. The same queue entry is used for other queues so by making hte state accuratly reflect what queue it is on I can know how to handle it without having to know information that is outside my scope. If it is actually running it is NOT in state TDS_RUNQ but in state BTDS_RUNNING. etc. etc.. i.e. the function that puts it on the run queue (setrunqueue()) alse sets the state saying what queue it is on. Until that moment it is not on the run queue so the state is not altered.. (It is probably in state TDS_UNQUEUED). If there were a function to put it on the sleep queue, then that is where the state would be set to TDS_SLEEP, but that code is not so clean and it happens in more than one place (sleep + condvars etc.). My eventual aim is that there be methods to put the thread into each state, similar to setrunqueue(), and that each method both queues the thread, AND sets the state. setrunqueue() is just the first. "Why?" Remember that in a threaded world, threads state changes are more complicated as they may or may not result in changes to procs and KSEs as well, thus it makes more sense to hide thread state changes behind opaque methods, so that they can be changed and debugged easier. > > 4) It would be nice if you didn't mix in gratuitous style changes with >actual content changes such as extra braces in else clause of >PROCFS_CTRL_WAIT case in procfs_ctl.c hmm ok probably I had changes there that were backed out at some stage.

Long answer: David is making a very good job with the update of gcc and related tools, give him the time needed. IMHO, the stuff David is dealing with is total PITA, so be grateful he is doing it, I can't think of a better person to do it right now. -CURRENT is not for the weak, if you run it be ready to find broken stuff, from minor things in buildworld to total breakage, but the handbook already warns you about that, right? :-) FWIW, I've found last weekend's -CURRENT to be perfectly usable, but, as always, YMMV. My 0.02EUR is, if it's not a production box, and you want to play with new stuff and don't mind the (lack of) stability and think you can (possibly) help with debugging, go for -CURRENT, the more people who test it, the better, else keep running -STABLE.

Ok, here are the random comments I've come up with: 1) Why gratuitous rename of p_stat to p_state? 2) I object to removing cred_free_thread(). It isn't getting in your way and some of us like to test things. 3) Why did you not make the linux process in linux_machdep.c runnable before you did a setrunqueue()? You do know we create it stopped at first and then make it runnable after doing fixups after fork1(), right? 4) It would be nice if you didn't mix in gratuitous style changes with actual content changes such as extra braces in else clause of PROCFS_CTRL_WAIT case in procfs_ctl.c 5) The comment by thread_unsuspend() in procfs_ctl.c seems gratuitous, that is what one would expect from such a function. 6) In cpu_set_retval() you have: +void +cpu_set_retval(struct thread *td, int retval, int aux, int success) +{ + struct trapframe *frame; + + frame = td->td_frame; + frame->tf_eax = retval; /* Child returns zero */ + frame->tf_edx = aux;/* I dunno */ You could always ask about that instead of having a I dunno comment. :) I think that we no longer use 2 return values from syscalls for FreeBSD syscalls (I know we did for fork1() at one point, possibly still do so that 4.x libc works ok on 5.x kernel).

RE: gcc3.1 problems: undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
I'm new to the list, so please excuse my question If it has already been asked before. Being that -CURRENT's C++ compiler is b0rked, how long will it be until it's problems have been resolved? I've seen many problems with it lately, and it kinda made me worried, almost to the point where I thought a re-install from the 4.5 release would be appropriate. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Making newcard and oldcard moduler.
Hi, I managed to make pccard device driver into loadable module. http://people.freebsd.org/~takawata/cardmodule.diff To use this, 1. Apply following patch.(diff from HEAD) 2. Remove 'pccard','pcic','pccbb','cardbus', 'card' line from configuration file. 3. Add following line to configuration file. (Should it be standard?) == device cardcom == 4. Rebuild your kernel. 5. Move /sys/modules/ and build oldcard, pccbb, pccard, cardbus, pcic module and install them. 6 Reboot. 7 If you want to use oldcard, type as follows in loader(8). == load oldcard boot == Or if you want to use newcard with CardBus controller, type as follows. == load pccbb boot == CAVEATS Unloading newcard may cause page fault. Loading both of them cause something bad. I don't check whether all pccard driver works well. Have fun.

Thousands of callers depend on malloc(M_WAITOK) not returning NULL, and malloc.9 still documents this behaviour. You may be thinking of mbuf allocation. It is confusingly different, starting with the no-wait flag being spelled differently (M_NOWAIT).

In certain circumstances, it calls itself > with M_WAITOK even when it itself was called with M_NOWAIT. Or it could be malloc/zalloc sleeping in another process. malloc(M_NOWAIT) may block and then wait a long time for other processes to release resources. This may involved the other processes sleeping, perhaps even with M_WAITOK malloc()'s. Buggy other processes may take arbitrary long to release their resources. The important points are: - the process that called malloc(M_NOWAIT) holds all the locks that it needs to protect its data structures - the process doesn't sleep itself (since sleeping might involve releasing critical lock(s), e.g., Giant) - all this locking and sleeping doesn't cause deadlock. Sleeping without releasing all locks would be a good way to tempt deadlock, and having malloc(M_NOWAIT) sleep despite being told not to would be a good way to sleep with some locks held. Leaf routines like malloc() can barely know which locks are held, and cannot reasonably know which locks are safe to release.

I had checks for calling malloc() with M_WAITOK at a nonzero ipl and found too many problems to notice, so I usually kept the checks turned off. (I still have the checks, but they are no-ops in -current). Most of the problems seem to involve booting and networking code. The socket locking changes in -current seem to have addressed a few of these. > The bug is that things are calling things like malloc with M_WAITOK when > waiting is explicitly not allowed. There are other functions that can > tsleep as well that we have not added checks for yet, so this is likely > just the tip of the iceberg. :-( In -current, msleep() could easily check whether it is called with a lock except the expected one (Giant or mtx). Similar ipl-based checks are impossible because it is almost mandatory to sleep it a nonzero ipl to prevent races: s = splfoo(); while ((foo_p->state & FOO_READY) == 0) tsleep(...); // code that depends on foo being ready splx(s); Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
RE: Release Building - failing at usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref
Howdy, Disconnecting usr/share/doc/usd/13.viref and usr/share/doc/papers/sysperf from the build process allowed me to build a -current snapshot. I found the reference in the CVS logs (2002/05/15 09:29:45 PDT) that c++ isn't being built. This explains the lack of groff and tbl. There must be some Makefile magic in bsd.doc.mk that allows all the other usd and papers directories to continue, as specific targets are defined in these two offenders. The sysperf target that fails is paper.tmp (not able to find tbl) and the 13.viref target is index.so (unable to find groff). Anyone know the ETA for c++ to be reconnected to the release build?

No, it is exactly what it means, eg: if (!(flags & M_NOWAIT)) KASSERT(curthread->td_intr_nesting_level == 0, ("malloc(M_WAITOK) in interrupt context")); tsleep() in interrupt context is the kiss-of-death. M_NOWAIT means "you must not call tsleep!", which is what I have been saying all along. There is a known bug in UMA where it recurses and calls itself with with M_WAITOK even if it was explicitly called with M_NOWAIT set.

Umm, Terry, have you looked at the code? We *only* have two wait states - M_NOWAIT and M_WAITOK. I dont care what it was ages ago, but in recent history we have a single flag boolean flag. M_WAITOK = 0x00, M_NOWAIT = 0x01. In spite of having two names, it is really a single bit where M_WAITOK != M_NOWAIT. M_WAIT for mbufs (not malloc) was an alias for M_WAITOK, and M_DONTWAIT (also just for mbufs) was an alias for M_NOWAIT. You call things and either permit them to tsleep() or you do not. M_NOWAIT to the mbuf m_get*, malloc*, contigmalloc*, uma_* etc means "you must not tsleep!". M_WAITOK conversely means that tsleep should be called as needed. Things like malloc still can return NULL even with M_WAITOK for non-recoverable scenarios.

Have a look at the gdb sources in FreeBSD-CURRENT and notice the fact that they removed the call to parse_and_eval_address and rolled their own. An address like $file->address+0xabcdef should be possible, but isn't in the distribution of 5.2. After the patch it is. i've filed the patch with an already open bug report on this on GNU gdb 5.2 Nick > > Greg > > > # diff -wu gdb-5.2/gdb/symfile.c~ gdb-5.2/gdb/symfile.c > > --- gdb-5.2/gdb/symfile.c~ Tue May 28 15:51:37 2002 > > +++ gdb-5.2/gdb/symfile.c Tue May 28 15:51:06 2002 > > @@ -1546,11 +1546,15 @@ > >char *val = sect_opts[i].value; > >char *sec = sect_opts[i].name; > > > > +#ifdef 0 > >val = sect_opts[i].value; > >if (val[0] == '0' && val[1] == 'x') > > addr = strtoul (val+2, NULL, 16); > >else > > addr = strtoul (val, NULL, 10); > > +#else > > + addr = parse_and_eval_address(val); > > +#endif > > > >/* Here we store the section offsets in the order they were > > entered on the command line. */ > > -- > See complete headers for address and phone numbers > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.van-laarhoven.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.etla.net/~n_hibma/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
