Greetings,
The FreeBSD/mips efforts are getting close. We're down to 4 patches
against the main tree, divided up among different programs: cc,
binutils, libpam and the CDDL stuff for zfs.
http://people.freebsd.org/~gonzo/mips2/binutils.diff
http://people.freebsd.org/~gonzo/mips2/cc.diff
http://people.freebsd.org/~gonzo/mips2/cddl.diff
http://people.freebsd.org/~gonzo/mips2/libpam.diff
If you have an interest in any of these area, or would like to provide
feedback on the patches, now would be a good time to do so. :-)
We'd like to commit these patches to the tree by the end of next week,
if at all possible. If you are a maintainer of this software, we'd
especially like to get feedback from you on these patches. If we
don't hear back from you, we'll assume that you are fine with them :-)
Warner

This won't work. Your patch unconditionally sets NO_STATIC_MODULES
which will result in a non-functional libpam.a (the modules will be
built into the library, but without any of the glue that allows the
library to find them) not just on mips, but on all other platforms.

I will create my own *BSD OS based on FreeBSD.
How can I change the Name of this OS ?
I mean, that in Logfiles, for example, of servers, which I connect by
sufing in the web and in application which locate the OS instead
"FREEBSD" an another OS-Name "MyOS-Name" will be displayed.
Thanks for Helping and fast answers.

You don't want to do that. It will cause you no end of pain with
third-party software that relies on uname -s and / or compiler macros
(__FreeBSD__) to turn specific features on or off. You will have to
patch pretty much every autoconf script in existence.

Hi all,
One month ago I sent a schedule to the lists about the MPSAFE TTY code
I'm working on. It contained the following:
* Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl> wrote:
> August 3 2008:

> the MPSAFE TTY branch.
This means I'm going to disconnect these drivers on Sunday. I posted a
list of drivers some time ago. The list of drivers is a little different
than what I had posted:
- I omitted ppp(4) and sl(4) on purpose, because I expected they would
already have been disconnected by this time (IFF_NEEDSGIANT).
- It seems I forgot to mention ucycom(4) and ufoma(4). These have not
been ported to the new TTY layer.
This means the complete list of drivers is:
| USB: ubser(4), ucycom(4), ufoma(4)
| ISA/PCI: cx(4), cy(4), digi(4), rc(4), rp(4), si(4), sio(4)
| Line disciplines: ng_h4(4), ng_tty(4), ppp(4), sl(4), snp(4)
There are a couple of important things to mention here:
- Some line disciplines (ng_h4(4), ng_tty(4) and snp(4)) will be
restored in the future. After the new TTY code has been imported, a
hooks interface shall be developed, which will allow these drivers to
work once again.
- PC98 still uses the sio(4) driver. I've decided not to touch PC98 at
this moment. I'll contact the PC98 folks one of these days, to see if
we can already perform a partial migration to uart(4).
Wrapping up, I'd like to say I really hope we can one day see these
drivers reappear in FreeBSD. Fortunately we've still got a long time
before 8.0-RELEASE.
Yours,

One of the most important things I forgot to mention: I've attached the
patch I'm going to commit. Comments on the patch are very welcome!

This patch just disconnects the majority of the serial drivers from
the build. Whilst I support the aim of making the TTY subsystem
MPSAFE, as I've previously stated, IMO, just disconnecting everything
is not the way forward.

I had indicated an interest in digi(4) but haven't heard anything further.

Looking through the latest patches (20080801), there is still no
documentation explaining how to use the new interfaces. It looks like
the only way to port a driver is to study the changes made to some
other drivers and work out how to apply equivalent changes to the
driver you are adapting.

I got a syntax error on this email Peter, didn't you mean to write:
"Great work Ed, let me send you some patches"
A MPSAFE tty subsystem is infinitely more important than any particular
non-console tty driver.
If FreeBSD should have digi(4) support in the future somebody should
spend some quality with the driver, instead of stopping Ed from
making much necessary progress.

On the other hand, we didn't throw out half the NIC drivers when we did the
MPSAFE network stack locking either, we allowed for a transition that gave
time for individual drivers to be locked.

Note that one approach you can take is that even if you can't test patches for
some of these drivers due to ENOHARDWARE, other users can. So you can still
generate patches for drivers (make sure they compile) and then post them to
current and stable to get them tested. I think it is more courteous to our
users that way than to require them to be developers. And given my recent
and continuing efforts with NIC drivers, I think I can safely say that I've
already put my money where my mouth is on this one. However, it is probably
far easier to provide patches for testing once the actual subsystem is in the
tree rather than prior, so if the plan is to do that then I'm ok with it.
There is something to be said, however, for the model used in the network
stack where some hack shims were left in place to support non-updated drivers
until they could be updated.
I know I have an rp(4) card (but in use in a production box running 6.x) and
from that I know other people also have rp(4) cards that I've talked with
(and RocketPort even provides their own FreeBSD driver) for example.

I would love to be able to send some patches. In order to do so, I
need some information about how to interface with the MPSAFE TTY
subsystem and how to adapt an existing driver. I am not the only
person to have indicated a need for some hand-holding and I was under
the impression that Ed would provide this but, to date, all I have is
suggestions to look at patched drivers.

OTOH, a piece of middle-ware that doesn't work with the underlying
hardware drivers makes that hardware useless. MPSAFE is probably more
important than any particular non-console driver but Ed is talking
about disconnecting almost every non-console TTY driver.

I guess things went wrong, because I probably confused you with Peter
Wemm (I know - I'm bad with names), who inquired about si(4). I did send
him a message some time ago, to see if we could make an appointment to
discuss how we could get si(4) working.
Even though I agree with you that we need more documentation on the TTY
layer's internals, my opinion is that other people should have shown
more interest from the start. When I sent a message a couple of weeks
ago, I almost immediately got a response from Alexander Kabaev (kan@).
He wanted to help me with the dcons(4) driver, which he did. I just
said: take a look at what I did to uart(4) and the console drivers and
gave him some random advice. He was able to send me an almost flawless
diff in a matter of hours, which he committed to the mpsafetty branch
himself!
Maybe I'm replying to too many messages at the same time, but as John
said, it's a lot easier making the remaining drivers work after the code
has been integrated. It's not like we're permanently carving things into
stone - we've almost got a full year to get it all working again.
Yours,

And I'm right behind him.
If digi(4) is important, somebody with hardware will fix it, if it
isn't important it will not be fixed, and good riddance.
I think you are being unreasonable, and I'll point you at an old
post I made, rather than rehash the arguments again:
