* Fix a warning that has been annoying me for some time:peter2000-07-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | "kern/sys_generic.c:358: warning: cast discards qualifiers from pointer target type" The idea for using the uintptr_t intermediate cast for de-constifying a pointer was hinted at by bde some time ago.

| | | | | KTRPOINT(p, KTR_GENIO) is more uncommon than error == 0, so it should be first in the && statement.
* Modify ktrace's general I/O tracing, ktrgenio(), to use a struct uio *green2000-07-021-15/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | instead of a struct iovec * array and int len. Get rid of stupidly trying to allocate all of the memory and copyin()ing the entire iovec[], and instead just do the proper VOP_WRITE() in ktrwrite() using a copy of the struct uio that the syscall originally used. This solves the DoS which could easily be performed; to work around the DoS, one could also remove "options KTRACE" from the kernel. This is a very strong MFC candidate for 4.1.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | fd's in the range of 32-63, 96-127 etc. The first problem was the FD_*() macros were shifting a 32 bit integer "1" left by more than 32 bits. The same problem happened in selscan(). ffs() also takes an int argument and causes failure. For cases where int == long (ie: the usual case for x86, but not always as gcc can have long being a 64 bit quantity) ffs() could be used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | far-reaching in fd-land, so you'll want to consult the code for changes. The biggest change is that now, you don't use fp->f_ops->fo_foo(fp, bar) but instead fo_foo(fp, bar), which increments and decrements the fp refcount upon entry and exit. Two new calls, fhold() and fdrop(), are provided. Each does what it seems like it should, and if fdrop() brings the refcount to zero, the fd is freed as well. Thanks to peter ("to hell with it, it looks ok to me.") for his review. Thanks to msmith for keeping me from putting locks everywhere :) Reviewed by: peter

* Removed a bogus cast to c_caddr_t. This is part of terminatingbde1999-01-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | c_caddr_t with extreme prejudice. Here the point of the original cast to caddr_t was to break the warning about the const mismatch between write(2)'s `const void *buf' and `struct uio's `char *iov_base' (previous bitrot gave a gratuitous dependency on caddr_t being char *). Compiling with -Wcast-qual made the cast a full no-op. This change has no effect on the warning for discarding `const' on assignment to iov_base. The warning should not be fixed by splitting `struct iovec' into a non-const version for read() and a const version for write(), since correct const poisoning would affect all pointers to i/o addresses. Const'ness should probably be forgotten by not declaring it in syscalls.master.

* Installed the second patch attached to kern/7899 with some changes suggestedtruckman1998-11-111-32/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | by bde, a few other tweaks to get the patch to apply cleanly again and some improvements to the comments. This change closes some fairly minor security holes associated with F_SETOWN, fixes a few bugs, and removes some limitations that F_SETOWN had on tty devices. For more details, see the description on the PR. Because this patch increases the size of the proc and pgrp structures, it is necessary to re-install the includes and recompile libkvm, the vinum lkm, fstat, gcore, gdb, ipfilter, ps, top, and w.

* Eradicate the variable "time" from the kernel, using various measures.phk1998-03-301-16/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part. Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead. gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0. Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime() is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it). A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead of mucking about with time which isn't random. Add a new nfs_curusec() function. Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable. Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the one remaining call that passwd &time as args. Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is the same. Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

Accesses outside such a region are invalid, and splx() must have the side effect of potentially changing all global variables (since there are hundreds of sort of volatile variables like `time'), so declaring `time' as volatile didn't have any real benefits.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - avoid malloc() if the number of fds is small. - pack the bits better so that `small' is quite large. - don't waste time generating zero bits for null fd_set pointers or scanning these bits. Possibly improved select(): - free malloc()ed storage before returning. This is simpler and I think huge select()s aren't worth optimizing since they are rare, relative gain would be small and there would be tiny costs for all selects().
