math(s) library folks - 128-bit tgammal(3) review please?
Hi folks Could those folks interested in the math.h library please review https://reviews.freebsd.org/D44168 ? It is a fix for 128-bit (IEEE float) tgammal(3), which has been a "stub" implementation using the 80-bit version to date. The above patch fixes that. Thanks! M -- Mark R V Murray

I checked the definition that I was used to, and it is roughly "how many bits of the mantissa are inaccurate (because of rounding error)". I can see how both work. For utterly massive numbers like from Gamma(), I can see how accounting for a much larger range works. It still feels slightly tricky, as e.g. how many digits after the floating point do you account for? > I don't print out the hex representation in ld128, but you see > the number of correct decimal digits is 33 digits compared to > 36.

I think my understanding of ULP is missing something? I thought that ULP could not be greater than the mantissa size in bits? I.e., I thought it represents average rounding error (compared with "perfect rounding"), not truncation error, as the above very large ULPs suggest.

objcopy "text file busy" build failure with populated /usr/obj
Hi * I've been getting these build failures for a while (weeks/months). The machine is a MacchiatoBin DoubleShot (arm64, Quad core). with SATA disks and zfs filesystem. If I empty out /usr/obj, then the build works, but takes a few hours. If I do a no-clean build with /obj/obj populated with he contents of a previous build, and /usr/src with updated ("svn update") sources, then the below nearly always happens early in the rebuild. It is in "stage 4.4: building everything" that this happens. The build is parallel (-j8), and I have manually de-threaded the output. The generated command-line from the logfile is: cd /usr/src; _PARALLEL_SUBDIR_OK=1 MACHINE_ARCH=aarch64 MACHINE=arm64 CPUTYPE=cortex-a72 CC="/usr/local/bin/ccache cc -target aarch64-unknown-freebsd13.0 --sysroot=/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp -B/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/usr/bin" CXX="/usr/local/bin/ccache c++ -target aarch64-unknown-freebsd13.0 --sysroot=/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp -B/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/usr/bin" CPP="cpp -target aarch64-unknown-freebsd13.0 --sysroot=/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp -B/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/usr/bin" AS="as" AR="ar" LD="ld" LLVM_LINK="" NM=nm OBJCOPY="objcopy" RANLIB=ranlib STRINGS= SIZE="size" STRIPBIN="strip" INSTALL="install -U" PATH=/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/usr/sbin:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/usr/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/bin:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp/legacy/usr/libexec::/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin SYSROOT=/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp make -f Makefile.inc1 BWPHASE=everything DESTDIR=/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/tmp all Anyone else seeing this? objcopy --strip-debug --add-gnu-debuglink=objcopy.debug objcopy.full objcopy objcopy: open objcopy failed: Text file busy --- all_subdir_usr.bin/objcopy --- *** [objcopy] Error code 1 make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/usr.bin/objcopy M -- signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP

Setting up IPv6 in /etc/rc.conf
Hi IPv6 gurus: what are the CURRENT /etc/rc.conf incantations to do the following (which works): $ ifconfig gif0 create $ ifconfig gif0 tunnel 192.168.0.2 11.22.33.44 $ ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:::::2 2001:::::1 prefixlen 128 $ route -n add -inet6 default 2001:::::1 $ ifconfig gif0 up ... when my non-working setup in /etc/rc.conf contains gif_interfaces="gif0" gifconfig_gif0="192.168.0.2 11.22.33.44" gifconfig_gif0_ipv6="2001:::::2 2001:::::1 prefixlen 128" ipv6_defaultrouter="-inet6 default 2001:::::1" ... which used to work. The bit that fails is the bit where gif0 gets its tunnel IPv6 addresses. I've tried both gifconfig_gif0_ipv6="..." and ifconfig_gif0_ipv6="...". The IPv6 endmpoints never make it onto gif0. This used to work, but setting up IPv6 in CURRENT is a moving target, and I can't find a working example any more. I've looked in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, but the gifN examples there are all devoid of any IPv6 examples.

No. This thread is about a much more basic issue; the resolution of the static/dynamic issue in the / volume. Which operating system has the better solution, while a valid discussion point, is a side track here, and is serving to add heat, not light. > As it happens, I have borrowed quite a bit of code > from 5.x.

Careful. You are working hard on a very admirable project; please can you continue to do do, and as-and-when issues from DFBSD prove their worth, they will be adopted by other projects. This is a case where the separation of strong personalities actually works out rather nicely, and you can help this by proving how well DFBSD technology is :-). There have been personality clashes in the past; some of these have been shown to be unresolvable, but we now have the improved situation where the talented folks are still developing BSD code without hindering each other. This way BSD and its users win. The way you can best help BSD is to continue to develop DragonFlyBSD. > Just to be clear: My obligation is to > all the people who use FreeBSD, not to the feelings of particular > developers whos vision(s) I might disagree with.

Sort of. General opinion-mongering, flamage, sidetracking and so on are off-charter. This is "FreeBSD CURRENT", and it is most likely the best to keep it somewhat restricted to that as some folks are starting to get annoyed at the "Dragonfly Advertising". I think that keeping DFBSD-Advocacy/Discussion on FreeBSD lists to a pretty low level would help keep blood pressure down all round (No offense intended, DFBSD is a worthwhile project, its just that inter-project politics are somewhat rough, and I'm trying to cool things down!)

Sort of. You've changed versions pretty seriously, so its very likey that you've got a big mess left behind. Its possible to clean up this mess, if you know what you are doing. If there is nothing on the box that you want to keep, its probably faster to reinstall.

However, I suspect that a marginally better place to use these would be in the "make distribute" target that "make release" uses. This way, the files are already separated out into directory structures, and it may be easier to build complex pkg-plist's with find(1).

I've seen this before, and I think it is a geometry problem. Boot the system in verbose mode (off the floppy), and go back and see what the boot probe thinks the geomtery is.

Broken ep0
Hi Since your last round of changes to if_ep.c (up to 1.117), the pccard ep0 on my ToPIC97 based laptop is broken. I've chatted to Warner about this, and I have a local hack where I back out a fix of his, and this allows the ep0 device to work (I think he said there was a race condition in the interrupts). Can you have a look at this please? The symptoms are an ep0 that works for a few packets and then completely stops working. It doesn't respond to pings, nothing.

3COM ep0 pccard device broken in current.
Hi Anyone else notice if the epN pccard device is broken in current? The symptoms are the device failing to move packets shortly after you begin to move traffic (a few secs). Pings start doing a "no buffer space available", and connections time out. A kernel of 28th may is good, and if I back out recent diffs to if_ep.c it doesn't fix anything, so I'm suspecting pccardd code. Any similar observations?

Hello all Mission control has launched the retro-rocket module to de-orbit KerberosIV (AKA eBones).

I'm currently doing this for kicks (Well, actually because it kills a botload of warnings, lint and otherwise). Once make world is working again, I'll put up a patch. My approach is to typedef caddr_t to void*, and then fix the errors this causes. So far, they are all no-brainers; mainly function prototypes that are inconsistent with their definitions.

I am asserting that PAM is the way FreeBSD is doing its authentication policy-setting. I am asserting that as a result of this applications need to comply, somehow. Right now, this is not hard. In future, it may get harder. DES has committed some PAM policy tweaks that make this possible. Bear in mind that PAM may leave you behind at some point; it is in the focus.

Changing existing practice is what I'm asking about. If there is a particular policy on a FreeBSD box, then OPIE should really be falling in with that, no?

Cast-in-stone algorithms are dumb, but if you really want those, its probably best to put them in your own code.

Heisenbug. Which tests do we break? Tests for specific output, or tests for more general cases? The random() function in libc is documented to give the same pseudo-random output for a particular seed. if you link your program against a _different_ libc, you cannot expect your results to follow a particular number sequence. We have to be able to fix bugs, and a bug has been identified. If you want a stable generator here, link statically, and keep a set of compatiblity libraries around. > If you think random() is not random enough for your purposes, > go create a new function with a *new* name.

Sure. srandomdev() needs to "burn" some output. > Maybe we should spend an AES on it, just in case ? Hold that thought. The "moral equivalent" of 'dd if=random() of=/dev/null bs=1 count=4096' is enough for now. Any problems, and I'll be right with you!

What form RC4 distribution have? (I have read the whole thread) I think we need four things. 1) void srandom(int arg) which uses the argument to seed. 2) void srandomdev(void) which uses system entropy to seed. 3) int random(void) which returns a number statistically random in all bits. 4) which returns as many bytes of randomness (statistically random in all bits) as the caller asks for. We have most of this, and RC4 can deliver. RC4's "licence" is fine. Call it "ArCFour" and there is no problem. The code is small, fast and repeatable, and meets conditions 1-4 above. Coding is Junior-high-school level, given the spec.
