GCC Upgrade?

Howdy, GCC 2.95.3 was just released. I did notice that there are some bug fixes in the optimizer, and some various other fixes etc. Considering the recent discussion about incorrect code generation due to -O2 and above, are there any plans to import this new release into the FreeBSD source tree?

sysctl_kern_proc doesn't handle the case when no procs match given criteria

Hello -hackers The sysctl_kern_proc routine in kern_proc.c doesn't handle the case when no processes match the given criteria. I.e., if no processes match, it will return 0 even though it never called SYSCTL_OUT; thus, the output data is junk. This can be demonstrated by giving ps(1) arguments

Re: Remote boot, but not diskless operation

Hi, One way to boot the kernel over the network is to use PXE (if your machine is recent enough to support it *well* : that is with a recent version of the PXE firmware) there is no real document on PXE booting you can read a note by Alfred Perlstein on

First let me state that I really don't know the proper place to be putting this. If this is the wrong list, I appologize, please let me know the prefered method for submitting minor patches. It seemed that send-pr was just for reporting issues, not for fixing them also, if this should've gone th

Re: Machines are getting too damn fast

Aloha! In an earlier mail to the thread I pointed to the STREAM benchmark for memory sub systems. Additionally, I wrote that I knew there were another benchmark that tries to analyze word sizes, access latencies for the different memories in the mem sub system. I know can name that benchmark (or

Remote boot, but not diskless operation

Hello, I am running FreeBSD 4.1 on an Intel-III box. It is not a diskless machine, so root fs is still local, but I need to boot kernel over ethernet. Reason for such a requirement: I am doing some kernel debugging and it is relatively quicker (after a panic) to recompile kernel on a server and
