# 219533 11-Mar-2011 marius

- Add support for TLS relocations.
- Emitt an error when encountering an unsupported and in case of the
kernel also for unaligned relocations.
- Fix R_SPARC_LOX10 relocations. Apparently these are hardly ever used.


# 219532 11-Mar-2011 marius

- Remove clause 3 and 4 from TNF licenses. [1]
- Add the _RF_X committed in r212998 also to the tables in the sparc64
reloc.c in order reduce differences between the kernel and the userland
source. This results in no functional change though.
- Fix further inconsistencies in the abbreviations of the names of the
relocations.
- Further whitespace fixes.

# 219531 11-Mar-2011 marius

Revert the binutils workaround committed in r219340, the underlying
problem has been fixed in r219530.


# 219405 08-Mar-2011 dchagin

Extend struct sysvec with new method sv_schedtail, which is used for an
explicit process at fork trampoline path instead of eventhadler(schedtail)
invocation for each child process.

Remove eventhandler(schedtail) code and change linux ABI to use newly added
sysvec method.

While here replace explicit comparing of module sysentvec structure with the
newly created process sysentvec to detect the linux ABI.

# 219340 06-Mar-2011 marius

- With the addition of TLS support binutils started to make the addend
values for resolved symbols relative to relocbase instead of sections
so detect this case and handle as appropriate, which allows using
kernel modules linked with affected versions of binutils. Actually I
think this is a bug in binutils but given that apparently nobody
complained for nearly six years and powerpc has basically the same
workaround I decided to put it in for the sparc64 kernel, too.
- Fix R_SPARC_HIX22 relocations. Apparently these are hardly ever used.


# 219339 06-Mar-2011 marius

- Consistently abbreviate the names of the relocations.
- End sentences with dots.
- Fix whitespace.

# 212998 22-Sep-2010 kib

For sparc64 relocations that directly put bits of the symbol value into
the location, apply elf_relocaddr to the symbol value to have right

# 208453 23-May-2010 kib

Reorganize syscall entry and leave handling.

Extend struct sysvec with three new elements:
sv_fetch_syscall_args - the method to fetch syscall arguments from
usermode into struct syscall_args. The structure is machine-depended
(this might be reconsidered after all architectures are converted).
sv_set_syscall_retval - the method to set a return value for usermode
from the syscall. It is a generalization of
cpu_set_syscall_retval(9) to allow ABIs to override the way to set a
return value.
sv_syscallnames - the table of syscall names.

Use sv_set_syscall_retval in kern_sigsuspend() instead of hardcoding
the call to cpu_set_syscall_retval().

The new functions syscallenter(9) and syscallret(9) are provided that
use sv_*syscall* pointers and contain the common repeated code from
the syscall() implementations for the architecture-specific syscall
trap handlers.

Syscallenter() fetches arguments, calls syscall implementation from
ABI sysent table, and set up return frame. The end of syscall
bookkeeping is done by syscallret().

Take advantage of single place for MI syscall handling code and
implement ptrace_lwpinfo pl_flags PL_FLAG_SCE, PL_FLAG_SCX and
PL_FLAG_EXEC. The SCE and SCX flags notify the debugger that the
thread is stopped at syscall entry or return point respectively. The
EXEC flag augments SCX and notifies debugger that the process address
space was changed by one of exec(2)-family syscalls.

The i386, amd64, sparc64, sun4v, powerpc and ia64 syscall()s are
changed to use syscallenter()/syscallret(). MIPS and arm are not
converted and use the mostly unchanged syscall() implementation.

# 197729 03-Oct-2009 bz

Make sure that the primary native brandinfo always gets added
first and the native ia32 compat as middle (before other things).
o(ld)brandinfo as well as third party like linux, kfreebsd, etc.
stays on SI_ORDER_ANY coming last.

The reason for this is only to make sure that even in case we would
overflow the MAX_BRANDS sized array, the native FreeBSD brandinfo
would still be there and the system would be operational.

# 194784 23-Jun-2009 jeff

Implement a facility for dynamic per-cpu variables.
- Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(),
DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined
PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is
virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared
objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined.
- Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set
over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there
is insufficient space available.
- Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator.
Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

# 190708 05-Apr-2009 dchagin

Fix KBI breakage by r190520 which affects older linux.ko binaries:

1) Move the new field (brand_note) to the end of the Brandinfo structure.
2) Add a new flag BI_BRAND_NOTE that indicates that the brand_note pointer
is valid.
3) Use the brand_note field if the flag BI_BRAND_NOTE is set and as old
modules won't have the flag set, so the new field brand_note would be
ignored.

# 172708 16-Oct-2007 marius

- Fix the handling of R_SPARC_OLO10, which is a bit of a special case
in the way we implement handling of relocations.
As for the kernel part this fixes the loading of lots of modules,
which failed to load due to unresolvable symbols when built after
the GCC 4.2.0 import. This wasn't due to a change in GCC itself
though but one of several changes in configuration done along the
import. Specfically, HAVE_AS_REGISTER_PSEUDO_OP, which causes GCC
to denote global registers used for scratch purposes and in turn
GAS uses R_SPARC_OLO10 relocations for, is now defined.
While at it replace some more ELF_R_TYPE which should have been
ELF64_R_TYPE_ID but didn't cause problems so far.
- Sync a sanity check between kernel and rtld(1) and change it to be
maintenance free regarding the type used for the lookup table.
- Sprinkle const on lookup tables.
- Use __FBSDID.

# 169846 22-May-2007 kan

Allow FreeBSD's native ELF image activators to execute shared libraries the
same way it was enabled for Linux binares in linuxulator.

This allows binaries built with -pie. Many ports auto-detect -fPIE support
in GCC 4.2 and build binaries FreeBSD was unable to run.

# 129282 16-May-2004 peter

Make a small revision to the api between the elf linker core and the
elf_reloc() backends for two reasons. First, to support the possibility
of there being two elf linkers in the kernel (eg: amd64), and second, to
pass the relocbase explicitly (for relocating .o format kld files).


# 123742 23-Dec-2003 peter

Add an additional field to the elf brandinfo structure to support
quicker exec-time replacement of the elf interpreter on an emulation
environment where an entire /compat/* tree isn't really warranted.


# 120422 24-Sep-2003 peter

Add sysentvec->sv_fixlimits() hook so that we can catch cases on 64 bit
systems where the data/stack/etc limits are too big for a 32 bit process.

Move the 5 or so identical instances of ELF_RTLD_ADDR() into imgact_elf.c.

Supply an ia32_fixlimits function. Export the clip/default values to
sysctl under the compat.ia32 heirarchy.

Have mmap(0, ...) respect the current p->p_limits[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_max
value rather than the sysctl tweakable variable. This allows mmap to
place mappings at sensible locations when limits have been reduced.

Have the imgact_elf.c ld-elf.so.1 placement algorithm use the same
method as mmap(0, ...) now does.

Note that we cannot remove all references to the sysctl tweakable
maxdsiz etc variables because /etc/login.conf specifies a datasize
of 'unlimited'. And that causes exec etc to fail since it can no
longer find space to mmap things.

# 109605 21-Jan-2003 jake

Resolve relative relocations in klds before trying to parse the module's
metadata. This fixes module dependency resolution by the kernel linker on
sparc64, where the relocations for the metadata are different than on other
architectures; the relative offset is in the addend of an Elf_Rela record
instead of the original value of the location being patched.
Also fix printf formats in debug code.

Remove a workaround for a binutils bug that was fixed in the recent
import, as it breaks the relocation kernel modules built with the new
binutils.
Note that this, together with the binutils import, marks a kernel module
flag day on sparc64: modules built with the old binutils will not work
with new kernels and vice versa. Mismatches will result in panics.

# 105469 19-Oct-2002 marcel

Add two hooks to signal module load and module unload to MD code.
The primary reason for this is to allow MD code to process machine
specific attributes, segments or sections in the ELF file and
update machine specific state accordingly. An immediate use of this
is in the ia64 port where unwind information is updated to allow
debugging and tracing in/across modules. Note that this commit
does not add the functionality to the ia64 port. See revision 1.9
of ia64/ia64/elf_machdep.c.

# 104072 27-Sep-2002 jake

Add a workaround for what seems to be confusion between binutils and the
sparc v9 ABI. The Elf_Rela records for local symbols appear to already
have the symbol's value added in to the addend field, even though the ABI
specifies we need to lookup the symbol and add its value too. This breaks
text relocations in klds because the symbol's value is added twice, and
the resulting address points off into nowhere land, so for now just use
the addend.

# 102808 01-Sep-2002 jake

Added fields for VM_MIN_ADDRESS, PS_STRINGS and stack protections to
sysentvec. Initialized all fields of all sysentvecs, which will allow
them to be used instead of constants in more places. Provided stack
fixup routines for emulations that previously used the default.


# 102555 28-Aug-2002 jake

Removed legacy signal trampoline.


# 100384 20-Jul-2002 peter

Infrastructure tweaks to allow having both an Elf32 and an Elf64 executable
handler in the kernel at the same time. Also, allow for the
exec_new_vmspace() code to build a different sized vmspace depending on
the executable environment. This is a big help for execing i386 binaries
on ia64. The ELF exec code grows the ability to map partial pages when
there is a page size difference, eg: emulating 4K pages on 8K or 16K
hardware pages.

Flesh out the i386 emulation support for ia64. At this point, the only
binary that I know of that fails is cvsup, because the cvsup runtime
tries to execute code in pages not marked executable.

Obtained from: dfr (mostly, many tweaks from me).

# 95410 24-Apr-2002 marcel

Don't use the symbol name to lookup the symbol value when we can use
the symbol index defined by the relocation. The elf_lookup() support
function is to be used by elf_reloc() when symbol lookups need to be
done. The elf_lookup() function operates on the symbol index and
will do a symbol name based lookup when such is required, otherwise
it uses the symbol index directly. This solves the problem seen on
ia64 where the symbol hash table does not contain local symbols and
a symbol name based lookup would fail for those symbols.

Don't pass the symbol name to elf_reloc(), as it isn't used any more.

Flesh out the sparc64 port considerably. This contains:
- mostly complete kernel pmap support, and tested but currently turned
off userland pmap support
- low level assembly language trap, context switching and support code
- fully implemented atomic.h and supporting cpufunc.h
- some support for kernel debugging with ddb
- various header tweaks and filling out of machine dependent structures


# 80708 31-Jul-2001 jake

Add skeleton machine dependent headers and c files for a port of freebsd
to a new architecture. This is the base of the sparc64 port, but contains
limited machine dependent code, and can be used a base for ports. Included
are:
- standard machine dependent headers, tweaked for a 64 bit, big endian
architecture, including empty versions of all the machine dependent
structures
- a machine independent atomic.h, which can be used until a port has
support for interrupts and the operations really need to be atomic
- stub versions of all the machine dependent functions, which panic
when called and print out the name of the function that needs to
be implemented. functions which are normally in assembly files are
not included, but this should reduce the number of different undefined
references on the first few compiles from hundreds to 5 or 6
Given minimal startup code and console support it should be trivial to
make this compile and run the first few sysinits on almost any architecture.
