Daniel, Chris; thanks for your responses. Here's some more information:
I think I have enough physical memory :This was what it showed me
while booting:
Real Memory: 20480 KB
Actual Memory: 17700 KB
(Btw, what's the distiction? Is the "actual mem" that which is available
after loading all the memory resident modules?)
The code I wrote goes like this (It is not device driver code; just a
simple routine to carry out some initializations I needed to do to take
some jitter measurements) :
<I wrote this piece of code in uipc_syscalls.c - for lack of a better
place to put it>
int jittertab_init(p, uap,retval)
struct proc *p;
struct jittertab_init_args /*{ Struct definition in sysproto.h
int dummy;
} */ *uap;
int *retval;
{
int i;
jitter_tab_ptr = 0; /* Extern variable; defined in init_main.c */
for(i=0;i<MAX_JITTER_TAB;i++){ /*MAX_JITTER_TAB is #defined to 20*/
jitter_tab[i].tv_sec = 0;
jitter_tab[i].tv_usec = 0;
}
return(0);
}
Apart from this there is, of course, the entry in syscalls.master.
Again, I'll reproduce my earlier mail for reference:
