Re: RFR: Port of FreeBSD *context routines to DFly
Oh. I am going to commit the mcontext structural changes right now. In fact, since I have already ripped up the signal context, I am going to make the same changes to struct sigcontext. That is, adding the mc_len, mc_fpformat, and mc_ownedfp fields. This also properly aligns the FP context in the structure and will allow better handling of the floating point state. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I created the cpu hiearchy and I've been slowly moving the cpu-specific code from pc32 into it on an as-needed basis (i.e. code that both VKERNEL and PC32 need). I'm going to hold off on any commits for a day or two so we can discuss the system-call vs userland issues a bit more. I am not leaning to either side, really. In my view it is ok to have a few system calls that later become obsolete... that's what the COMPAT options in the kernel build are for. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

And also, has anything been done yet to get powerdns-recursor working? Petr Matt Emmerton wrote: I have completed the port of [set|get|make|swap]context from FreeBSD to DFly. The latest patch set against HEAD (current as of Jan 12, 00:00 EST) is available here: http://www.gsicomp.on.ca/~matt/dfly I (and others) would really like to see this get into the release, so I would appreciate reviews and comments. Nothing too earth-shattering here - it's a straight port with some minor modifications due ot Matt's recent VKERNEL and trapframe changes. Regards, -- Matt Emmerton
