Re: Problems with Squid on 4.4-RC
I really did not have time to investigate this but the same problem occured with version 2.3 of Squid. The port worked but the off the shelf version did not. The problem was corrected for 2.3 and 2.4 but it seems it persists in the source code available from the development site. I know I have no right to complain since I am too busy to maintain any ports but I would like to encourage people to submit corrections they make in the ports system to the original maintainers. Hi, Ok. here's the problem in a nutshell. GCC is bad with optimisation levels above 0. Ok, here's the problem outside of the nutshell. There's some code in squid that triggers a gcc bug when using -O2 and sometimes with -O. There's some magic in the configure script to disable -Ox, but the gcc version in 4.4 (I think anything 4.3 and above really) wasn't put in the squid-2.4STABLE1 script. This is why when you run squid-2.4stable1 on your 4.4 box it barfs after one request - the DNS request is made, and the code pukes. The solution is just to use the port. All the package does is disable the -Ox when building. Oh, squid-2.4STABLE2 should know about the 4.4 GCC version. But I just suggest use the package or disable the optimisation yourself. :-) Adrian, not on -hackers To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-hackers in the body of the message

Loader problems
I have a hard drive with 2 versions of freebsd (4.1 and 4.2) loaded on it. They boot and load ok, but when 4.1 is soft-rebooted, it stops at the boot: prompt and 3 strange characters are displayed (not alphanumeric)...the second partition seems fine. Backspacing over the characters and hitting return manually and the machine boots normally. Both partitions are using the BTX loader v1.01 Any ideas?

I missed one thing to say, When I try to know what's happen in the libc_r, I use libc_r with DEBUG_SIGNAL defined. There seems to be something wrong with libc_r's signal handler when it cannot find the thread to handle signal, libc_r seems to refer some phantom thread that doesn't exist and it may cause another fault.

PLEASE REVIEW: loader fix for gzipped kernels
I would appreciate another pair of eyes on the attached patch before
I commit it.
I have been working with gzipped kernels a lot lately, and have
noticed that when the loader tries to load certain kernels, it fails
with the message elf_loadexec: cannot seek. I tracked this down to
a bug in src/lib/libstand/lseek.c, which is fixed by this patch.
Here is the bug that it fixed. Libstand maintains a read-ahead buffer
for each open file, so that it can read in chunks of 512 bytes for
greater efficiency. When the loader tries to lseek forward in a file
by a small amount, it sometimes happens that the target file offset is
already in the read-ahead buffer. But the existing code in lseek.c
simply discards the contents of that buffer and does a seek directly
on the underlying file. This results in an attempt to seek backwards
in the file, since some of the data has already been read into the
read-ahead buffer. Gzipped data streams cannot seek backwards, so an
error is returned.
The code added by the patch checks to see if the desired file offset
is already in the read-ahead buffer. If it is, the code simply
adjusts the buffer pointer and length, thereby avoiding a reverse seek
on the gzipped data stream.
The bug is present in both -current and -stable. This patch is
relative to -stable, but it applies cleanly to -current too.

Your implementation of sigreturn is not correct for our threads
library. You don't need the strong reference in -current.
The signal mask in the ucontext_t is the _process_ signal
mask. This is not the threads signal mask which can be
different. It may work in your case because your threads
don't change their signal mask, so it may be the same as
the process signal mask.
I'm not sure what sigreturn should do in a threaded environment,
particularly if it should restore the threads signal mask or
not. In order to make it work the you want it to, and I'm
not sure that is the correct thing yet, you need to change
the signal mask in the ucontext before the signal handler
is invoked. This would be done somewhere in uthread_sig.c.
You would put the threads signal mask (before OR'ing in
the sa_mask from the installed handler) into the ucontext.
This would make the ucontext passed to a signal handler
contain that threads signal mask, not the process signal
mask. Then when implementing sigreturn, you restore the
threads signal mask from the ucontext, place the process
signal mask in the ucontext, and _thread_sys_sigreturn().
Here's a quick (uncompiled, untested) attempt at a fix.

sigreturn should be pretty compatible with setcontext. You can
do a setcontext on the ucontext_t argument passed to a signal

what sigreturn does. FreeBSD doesn't have {get,set,make}context
yet.
Java VM needs this function. My previous example explains how JIT

Your patch seems to work, yes I tried with test.c modified to specify
per thread sigmask. But now I have worry about when there are another

I think that when there are multiple signals pending, the kernel
installs multiple trampolines, so when one signal handler returns
the next signal handler is called. If you sigreturn, setcontext,
or just exit the signal handler normally, the next signal handler
will be called. If you longjmp out of the handler though, you
bypass all the other pending handlers and lose those signals.
I've tested this under -current.
The actual work needed for sigreturn is restore the
sigmask to unblock the very signal masked at uthread_sig.c(line 1070)
temporarily. Using thread-sigmask for sigreturn may do overwork.
How do you think about this?
If there were multiple trampolines set up by the kernel, then
the threads library will get the next signal when the thread
sigreturns or exits the signal handler normally. There may be
a small race if two or more signals happen really close together
and the threads library installs multiple signal frames for
a thread before getting a chance to execute that thread. In
this case, a sigreturn might bypass the other frames that have
been setup.
If you install the signal handlers with the sa_mask all set,
then this won't happen and all signals will be masked for the
thread while it is in the signal handler.

Fault type in the page fault handler
Hi, Is it possible to figure out the fault type(READ or WRITE fault) from inside the page fault handler in user space? I can get the faulting address fine but I have trouble figuring out the fault type. I looked at the i386/i386/machdep.c but couldn't find anything about the access/fault type. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Murali To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-hackers in the body of the message
Re: Proposed Utility - detach(1)
I would appreciate comments on the usefulness of a utility which would
allow one to detach a process from a TTY. I imagine the utility would
be very small and just call daemon(3) and execlp(3).
1) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/detach
have fun...
2) the code itself is rather simple and I wrote such detach.c by
myself on FreeBSD 3.4 before I had a chance to look into ports
collection. Here it is:
/*==
* detach.c
*--
* Executes given as arguments programs having
* detached TTY at first.
*
* by Poige, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*==
*/
#include unistd.h
#include sys/types.h
#include stdlib.h
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
/* executes another programs having detached
* tty at first
*/
return ! (
argv[1]
(fork () == 0)
(setsid () 0)
(fork () == 0)
(execvp (argv[1], argv + 1) 0)
);
}
Would a utility like this be useful?
yes
Is this functionality already available in a system utility?
in ports...
Best regards,
Mike Barcroft

Re: OpenSSH + Kerberos 5 + PAM

Thoughts on this pthreads bug: why release O_NONBLOCK in _exit?
I've been studying a few things in pthreads to figure out a bug that's
had me banging my head against a wall. I'd be interested in knowing
what peoples' thoughts are.
The basic scenario is that a fd loses its schedulability after the
process calls daemon(). To review:
The current pthreads implementation requires fds to be marked
O_NONBLOCK (which pthreads manages itself) to allow scheduling to work
properly.
The daemon() library call's life (for the purposes of this discussion)
is to fork. The parent dies by calling _exit(0), and the child goes
on.
The _exit routine in libc_r turns off the O_NONBLOCK flag on all file
descriptors, except those which the program turned it on for.
Now, the problem.
The forked parent and child, of course, are sharing fds. So when the
forked child exits, the parent's fds have their O_NONBLOCK flags
toggled off. If the parent is still running multithreaded, this
creates a scheduling problem.
I've included a condensed version of the code I've been using to test
this below. It's enough to demonstrate the problem, if not the normal
symptoms.
What I can't figure out is why libc_r's _exit toggles off the
O_NONBLOCKs.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
joelh
