A few months ago there was a thread on this list discussing the state
of NWFS/netncp/libncp/etc. on 5.0. Terry Lambert produced a patch [1]
that made netncp compile. The patch still applies cleanly to -current
and almost compiles; I broke it with ncp_ncp.c rev 1.13, adding
#includes of sys/lock.h and sys/mutex.h fixes it.
However, even with this patch, ncp.ko still does not load because the
aout_sysvec symbol is not available. After patching ncp_load() to use
SYS_MAXSYSCALL instead of elf_sysvec.sv_size, the module loads but
crashes in ncp_timer():
ncp_load: [210-213]
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0x10
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc1027d39
stack pointer = 0x10:0xc5b9cc8c
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc5b9cc9c
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, IOPL = 0
current process = 12 (swi6: clock)
Even after that has been fixed, there are plenty of other bug fixes that
need to be backported from smbfs.
Is anyone still working on updating netncp/nwfs for 5.0? I think that it
should be retired to the Attic if nobody has any plans to fix it before
we create the RELENG_5 branch.
