1.1       root        1: Changes to kernel and related files for version #80:
                      2: 
                      3: NOTE: The SCSI-problems reported by Nigel in R79 seem to be related to
                      4: hardware problems on his 486, as the HAI driver fails similarly on that
                      5: hardware, and the AHA drivers works fine everywhere else.
                      6: 
                      7: The following headers have been deleted:
                      8:        access.h, action.h, disp.h, ebcdic.h, larges.h, timef.h
                      9:        sys/ascii.h, sys/fun.h, sys/chars.h, sys/dir.h sys/malloc.h
                     10: 
                     11: The following headers have been moved to /usr/include/kernel, and are no
                     12: longer accessible to user-level code (more will follow):
                     13:        sys/alloc.h, sys/const.h, sys/fakeff.h, sys/machine.h, sys/param.h,
                     14:        sys/reg.h, sys/typed.h
                     15: 
                     16: The above header changes plus the following changes from Nigel have required
                     17: global modification to almost every single kernel module.
                     18:        The global u.u_regl in the U area has been removed, requiring vast
                     19:        changes to system-call handling, signalling, and subtle changes to
                     20:        much system-call code, in addition to changing the U area.
                     21: 
                     22:        The stack-access constants from <kernel/reg.h> moved to <ieeefp.h>,
                     23:        and are no longer used in the kernel.
                     24: 
                     25:        The u.u_args global was removed from the U area, requiring further
                     26:        changes to system calls and signalling.
                     27: 
                     28:        The u.u_direct and u.u_io global structures removed from the U area,
                     29:        requiring changes to all filesystem-related system calls, and
                     30:        considerably changing the calling protocol of ftoi ().
                     31: 
                     32: 08/01  curses.h: Colour modifications.
                     33: 08/01  sys/patch.h: Added, ioctl () interface to patch driver.
                     34: 
                     35: Before R80 was turned over to Nigel:
                     36: 07/19  haiscsi.h,haiinst.h,hai154x.c,haicfg.c,haict.c,haisd.c,haiscsi.c:
                     37:        revision 2 from Chris Hilton
                     38: 07/19  rlock.c: return EACCES, not EAGAIN when locking fails.
                     39: 07/19  reg.h,as.s: make setspace() stuff part of saved context.
                     40: 07/19  sys5.c: io_seg was uninitialized in dirio.
                     41: 07/19  sys2.c: upoll() needed to use fdget().
                     42: 
                     43: Changes to kernel and related files for version #79:
                     44: 
                     45: NOTE (Nigel): The outstanding issue is the [pre-Chris-Hilton] Adaptec
                     46: driver; switching virtual terminals (or sometimes, doing console printf
                     47: ()'s while debugging) cause I/O requests to fail mysteriously and/or go
                     48: into oblivion (causing deadlocks); it is not clear whether this is
                     49: caused by the console drivers, or is a race condition exacerbated by
                     50: them.
                     51: 
                     52: 07/16  timeb.h,sys1632.c: ftime() is again a system call.  oldtimeb.h
                     53:        is obsolete.
                     54: 07/16  Chris Hilton's Adaptec (hai) SCSI disk and tape driver
                     55: 07/16  as.s, trap.c: hlt instruction in reboot no longer causes gp fault
                     56: 07/16  kb.c,kb_d.c,kb_f.c,nkb.c,vtkb.c,vtkb_d.c,vtkb_f.c,vtnkb.c -
                     57:        X11 mods from RTR.
                     58: 07/16  kb.c,kb_d.c,kb_f.c,nkb.c,vtkb.c,vtkb_d.c,vtkb_f.c,vtnkb.c -
                     59:        Function key update (Word Perfect compatibility?) from Louis.
                     60: 07/16  fl386.c - New floppy minor devices skip cylinder 0, autosense format.
                     61: 07/16  syscoh.c - int11 now available to user code for installation (Louis)
                     62: 07/12  fs1.c,sys[235].c: exec perms for root on directories fixed (Vlad)
                     63: 07/12  msg386.c: Pemission fix from Vlad
                     64: 07/12  Nigel: Signal handling (almost) totally rewritten, and is now
                     65:        built around "sigaction" structures rather than an array of
                     66:        pointers and legion bitmasks... all code affecting signal state
                     67:        properly centralized, requiring numerous tiny driver mods.
                     68: 07/12  Nigel: Worst of the u.u_regl stupidity removed, fixing nasty
                     69:        signalling bugs.
                     70: 07/12  Nigel: Limits on the user code and data chopped to 0x7FFFFFF
                     71:        rather than all of linear space; this exposed numerous small
                     72:        problems in e.g. ustime () where kernel data was being treated as
                     73:        user data via kucopy ()/ukcopy ().
                     74: 07/12  Nigel: Everything to do with user-kernel copying (mainly in as.s
                     75:        and fakedma.c) changed; now %es == %ds in the kernel, which is
                     76:        vital for using normal C library routines, most important of
                     77:        which are the GCC inlines. Now, %fs in the kernel holds an RPL 3
                     78:        user data selelector, and %gs is scratch.  Much simplified, these
                     79:        should run much faster now (fakedma.c is now about half the size
                     80:        it was).
                     81: 07/12  Nigel: The bogus kclear () in kalloc () (actually, alloc () in
                     82:        coh.386/alloc.c) removed, exposing numerous problems where kernel
                     83:        data structures were not fully initialised, including the buffer
                     84:        cache, in-core inode table, SCSI requests in io.386/scsi.c and more.
                     85: 07/12  Nigel: The bogus memory-clear at startup has been removed, with
                     86:        no noticeable effect other than exacerbating some of the problems
                     87:        mentioned above, which have hopefully all been fixed.
                     88: 07/12  Nigel: <sys/ktty.h> defined numerous predicates which dug bits
                     89:        out of tty control structures by implicitly referencing local
                     90:        variables of the routines where they were embedded via magic
                     91:        names. All the predicates have sensible names and take parameters
                     92:        now, which meant changing the tty code and every function that
                     93:        called it to use the sane predicates, including the serial
                     94:        drivers and the legion *kb* "modules".
                     95: 07/12  Nigel: Removed dead code and bogus FFCOPY () from io.386/vt*kb*.c
                     96: 07/12  Nigel: selkcopy () removed from trap.c (changed to ffbyte ()
                     97:        instead), and the SDUMP ()/RDUMP () hacks changed to use a real
                     98:        routine that uses a real register-set structure (created for the
                     99:        signalling work) and can do proper stack backtracing in the
                    100:        kernel.
                    101: 07/12  Nigel: Several small changes to coh.386/fs[23].c aimed at
                    102:        increasing performance, along with a change to the locking in
                    103:        bclaim (), all to negligible effect on the results as reported by
                    104:        iozone ().
                    105: 07/12  exec.c,fd.c: close on exec bug fixed (Nigel)
                    106: 07/12  tty.c,pty.c,pipe.c: return 0 if O_NDELAY and -1/EAGAIN if
                    107:        O_NONBLOCK when no input available (Nigel)
                    108: 07/01  sig.c: fail with EFAULT if trying to access nonexistent NDP state
                    109: 07/01  shm.h,shm0.c,shm1.c: fixed define/int conflict with SHMMAX
                    110: 07/01  sig.c: botched variable in sigdump() broke core file writes
                    111: 06/17  fl386.c,fdc.c,fdc765.h: change CMD... to FDC_CMD_...
                    112: 06/14  as.s,xdt.s: call gate for hlt instruction to fix reboot panic
                    113: 
                    114: Changes to kernel and related files for version #78:
                    115: 
                    116: NOTES:
                    117: New libc.a needed for support of nap() system call.
                    118: New kbmain.o is needed, (just recompile current kbmain.c) and new
                    119:   /conf/kbd/us, etc as well, due to change in kb.h (or else you won't
                    120:   be able to switch sessions with virtual consoles).
                    121: New db needed from Steve since uproc.h changed.
                    122: File name changes in kernel file set:
                    123:   lp.c is replaced by lp386.c
                    124:   fl.c is replaced by fdc.c, fl386.c, and <sys/fdc765.h>.
                    125:

                    135: 05/18  sig.c: signal to traced process wrongly caused core dump
                    136: 05/14  sys3.c: read on file set for APPEND should not be forced to end
