This patch is for crunchide to handle ELF object file in a more general way, but not be limited to the custom section layout (i.e., section headers, .symtab, and then .strtab are @EOF). And if we are still using ld(1), I think the patched crunchide should produce exactly the same output as before. Then the rescue binary would also be the same. I checked and verified the intermediate object files and rescue binary (via binary diff) on X86 FreeBSD 9.0. If you can also kindly help check this on different archs and feedback, I think the result will be very helpful.

Driver Development Books?
Hello, I have what may seem to be a silly question, but I cannot find any other decent resources on the web. >.< The problem that I am having right now is that I have a fairly nice graphics card which, for the moment is only supported on Windows Operating systems, and old 2.4 Linux kernels. So far there has not been much positive outlook in porting the drivers to *BSD or any of the 2.6 kernels that I know of, let alone 64-bit drivers for non-Win OSes. So I guess that makes my question fairly simple then; I know that driver code is written in C (which I am learning currently) but thats about all I know. I'm probably not far off when I say that I need more to go on. Yet, from looking at Amazon.com I have not been able to find any books on writing driver code, which is really frustrating. One of my security related books, Rootkits, tells me about how to write drivers for a completely different reason so I know a bit more about how they work but again the code involved does not interface hardware to the OS, just injects a custom application. The other tool that I will probably use is Jungo, which is a nice-looking application which automates a skeletal version of the driver you need, but again, I would not know how to fill it out. Any help is appreciated. -Pete "Rootkits" Book Homepage -- http://www.rootkit.com/ Jungo WinDriver -- http://www.jungo.com/windriver.html ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Pseudo-device driver & select ??
You might want to take a look at the bpf pseudo device and how it
handles polls int bpf.c. You need to use the selrecord() and

look at spec_poll()
I beleive that when your device is opened the fileops{} will
point to the spec ops and you're code will be entered via
spec_poll() - now you just need to implement the poll/select notion
for your device.
Thanks,
Actually, il turned out to be very simple.
I needed only to provide a "d_poll" function as part of the structure
cdevsw, as follows :
/* Character device entry points */
static struct cdevsw echo_cdevsw = {
.d_version = D_VERSION,
.d_open = echo_open,
.d_close = echo_close,
.d_read = echo_read,
.d_write = echo_write,
.d_poll = echo_poll,
.d_name = "echo",
};
with echo_poll :
static int
echo_poll(struct cdev *dev, int events, struct thread *td)
{
uprintf( "echo_poll called : data_available = %d!\n",
data_available );
if(data_available == 0)
return 0;
data_available = 0;
return 1;
}
Now the question is, if I don't have any data available when select
(i.e d_poll ) is called, how do I notify select when data arrives ?
looks like "d_poll" is called only once (the name is a bit misleading
here ;-) , isn't it ?
Any hints ?
Thanks.

This is what I initially thought, but when I swapped the two data drives, disklabel thought the previous ar2's (and now ar1's) disklabel was fine.

Well... a) I want to learn about FreeBSD, not the Promise controller. Until this email, I was thinking the only way to do software RAID with FreeBSD was Vinum... Now, I'm (more) confused. b) The Fasttrak controller isn't that wonderful and from what I've read, just software RAID on the card's PROM. I've also heard (and briefly confirmed) that Linux's software RAID is faster than the card's. I'm betting that FreeBSD's is comparable to Linux's. c) I don't want to be tied to a specific vendor's RAID. This machine is made from old, spare parts. If the Fasttrak card were to die, I'd love to be able to stick in a different IDE controller and still have the RAID working with little or no fuss. > In the post you refer to you have: > ar0: 29314MB [3737/255/63] status: READY subdisks: > 0 READY ad4: 29314MB [59560/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 > ar1: 29314MB [3737/255/63] status: READY subdisks: > 0 READY ad6: 29314MB [59560/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100 > ar2: 29314MB [3737/255/63] status: READY subdisks: > 0 READY ad7: 29314MB [59560/16/63] at ata3-slave UDMA100 FWIW, I'm currently using a 2 controller config with each drive on its own dedicated IDE channel.

When all three disks were on the Fasttrak, I did have them all defined as single-disk, striped volumes. I needed to do this to boot from ar0/ad4. Right now, I don't know why I set the other two to be single-disk, striped volumes.

3 IDE devices on Promise card + FreeBSD == not possible?
Hello, I've been posting about this since the beginning on the year. A few times on freebsd-questions, once on freebsd-hackers, and submitted a PR (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=48165). I have never found a solution beyond replacing FreeBSD with Linux. (Which is not something I'd like to do, but know I can, if need be. I'm trying to learn about FreeBSD, not Linux.) The main problem seems to be that I cannot have more than two IDE drives on a Promise IDE card (or cards, for that matter). They work fine with two drives attached. The actual drive attached, where it's attached, and the card it's attached to does not seem to matter. However things are configured, whatever drive is enumerated as ar2 cannot be accessed by disklabel (and vinum and possibly other disk-level utils). Please see my original post at: http://news.gw.com/freebsd.questions/122487. I really hope somebody can help me with this. I'm more than willing to try things and provide whatever debugging info you'd like to see. I currently have all my data on ar0, but a lot of that is digital photos that I don't want to trust to the health of just one drive. I really want to get ar1 and ar2 working as a mirrored volume and move all the data to this, but FreeBSD (and, most likely, my corresponding lack of knowledge) has kept me from doing this. I _really_ don't want to move to Linux, but I've been trying to solve this problem for over three months now and if I can't get FreeBSD to do it. I know I can get Linux to do it. Please don't let it come to that. I'm just very frustrated and tried every avenue I know of.

(fwd) frustrating disklabel problem
it for some reason. I guess I could just edit the label on ar1, then swap master and slave again, and edit the label on the new ar1 so that both should have fstypes of vinum. I'm not sure if vinum would work after this though. I'm assuming that I should be able to see the labels on both ar1 and ar2, so I want to try to fix this problem first.

Re: Duping a hard disk
We netboot via PXE and run sysinstall. It takes about 6 minutes. You can make packages out of your specialized stuff. This make it easy to keep up to date as well as build. You don't need to worry about the drives being the same size etc either, and different config scripts let you build different kinds of systems very easily. We use all Intel NICs which support PXE, but I think you could do this with netboot also.

Re: L440GX+ Server Board
We have a few dozen running mostly as uniprocesser boxes. I have also put an adaptec 2940 in them and it works as well. You need to run 3.2 or better to get the drivers for the on board Adaptec. The onboard NIC works like any other Intel 10/100 using fxp0, adding a asecond nic makes the onboard fxp1 (for failover purposes, I assume) We like them, and are trying to get Intel to make the reporting of temp etc and power managment Unix friendly. You can get to the bios at boot time (remotely via a com port) as it is which is nice.

Re: L440GX+ Server Board
We have a few dozen running mostly as uniprocesser boxes. I have also put an adaptec 2940 in them and it works as well. You need to run 3.2 or better to get the drivers for the on board Adaptec. The onboard NIC works like any other Intel 10/100 using fxp0, adding a asecond nic makes the onboard fxp1 (for failover purposes, I assume) We like them, and are trying to get Intel to make the reporting of temp etc and power managment Unix friendly. You can get to the bios at boot time (remotely via a com port) as it is which is nice.
