Without this option, gcc may emit code accessing unaligned memory. This,
and the fact that SCTRL.A (System Control Register - Alignment Check) is
set to 1 in Minix causes data aborts when such code is encountered.
This was the cause of #104. The `minix-service' executable caused
unaligned memory accesses calling into getpwnam(). These then trigger
data abort exceptions. On ARM, these were previously forwarded to `vm'
as pagefaults. However, `vm' did not properly handle them, but instead
allocated one page for the faulting address (over and over again) and
then resumed the process at the faulting instruction (over and over
again). This behavior masked the whole story as an OOM.
Below the assembly version getpwent.c in which unaligned memory
accesses are even highlighted...
...
341 ldr lr, [sp, #48]
342 cmp lr, #0
343 bne .L46
344 ldr r0, [r4] @ unaligned
345 add r1, r7, #5
346 str r0, [sp, #4] @ unaligned
347 ldr r4, [sp, #4]
348 mov r5, r4, asr #31
349 strd r4, [r8, #40]
...
This should fix#104. It was tested on an actual Beaglebone Black.
An alternative fix would be to disable alignment checking by setting
SCTRL.A to 0 and allowing unaligned memory accesses.

IMPORTANT: this change has a docs/UPDATING entry!
This change is a long overdue switch-over from the old MINIX set of
user and group accounts to the NetBSD set. This switch-over is
increasingly important now that we are importing more and more
utilities from NetBSD, several of which expect various user accounts
to exist. By switching over in one go, we save ourselves various
headaches in the long run, even if the switch-over itself is a bit
painful for existing MINIX users.
The newly imported master.passwd and group files have three exceptions
compared to their NetBSD originals:
1. There is a custom "service" account for MINIX 3 services. This
account is used to limit run-time privileges of various system
services, and is not used for any files on disk. Its user ID may
be changed later, but should always correspond to whatever the
SERVICE_UID definition is set to.
2. The user "bin" has its shell set to /bin/sh, instead of NetBSD's
/sbin/nologin. The reason for this is that the test set in
/usr/tests/minix-posix will not be able to run otherwise.
3. The group "operator" has been set to group ID 0, to match its old
value. This tweak is purely for transitioning purposes: as of
writing, pkgsrc packages are still using root:operator as owner and
group for most installed files. Sometime later, we can change back
"operator" to group ID 5 without breaking anything, because it does
not appear that this group name is used for anything important.

The way these options work is by creating files that contain debugging
symbols and stashing them in a dedicated set. The minix-debug set has
been created for this purpose, but it will probably have to be refined
since it has been tested only with the default options with an i386
cross-build.
LSC: Amended to support many combination of MKDEBUG, MKDEBUGLIB, with
and without X11, for both intel and arm.

ASR instrumentation is now performed on all applicable system services
if the system is built with MKASR=yes. This setting automatically
enables MKMAGIC=yes, which in turn enables MKBITCODE=yes.
The number of extra rerandomized service binaries to be generated can
be set by passing ASRCOUNT=n to the build system, where n is a number
between 1 and 65536. The default ASRCOUNT is 3, meaning that each
service will have one randomized base binary and three additional
rerandomized binaries. As before, update_asr(8) can be used for
runtime rerandomization.

The magic runtime library is now built as part of the regular build, if
the MKMAGIC=yes flag is passed to the build system. The library has
been renamed from "magic" to "magicrt" to resolve a name clash with BSD
file(1)'s libmagic. All its level-5 LLVM warnings have been resolved.
The final library, "libmagicrt.bcc", is now stored in the destination
library directory rather than in the source tree.

This brings our tree to NetBSD 7.0, as found on -current on the
10-10-2015.
This updates:
- LLVM to 3.6.1
- GCC to GCC 5.1
- Replace minix/commands/zdump with usr.bin/zdump
- external/bsd/libelf has moved to /external/bsd/elftoolchain/
- Import ctwm
- Drop sprintf from libminc
Change-Id: I149836ac18e9326be9353958bab9b266efb056f0
The minix set is now divided into minix-base, minix-comp, minix-games,
minix-kernel, minix-man and minix-tests.
This allows massive space savings on the installlation CD because only
the base system used for installation is stored uncompressed. Also, it
makes the system more modular.

. bitcode fixes
. switch to compiler-rt instead of netbsd libc functions
or libgcc for support functions for both x86 and arm
. minor build fixes
. allow build with llvm without crossbuilding llvm itself
. can now build minix/arm using llvm and eabi - without C++
support for now (hence crossbuilding llvm itself is turned off
for minix/arm)

After importing the default environment from NetBSD, we discovered that
it doesn't contain /usr/games, which is required for the commands
strfile. This utility is used while generating fortune database.
This patch simply sets TOOL_STRFILE to contain an absolute path.

There is a tic command which comes with a package. When this package is
installed, this prevent "make build" from completing, as the packaged
tic as incompatible arguments.

Allows instrumentation of Minix components using LLVM passes from
"llvm-apps" repository
In addition, the change does the following:
1. Move releasetools/generate_gold_plugin.sh to minix/llvm
2. Move external/bsd/llvm/passes to minix/llvm/passes
3. libLTO.so, LLVMgold.so and WeakAliasModuleOverride.so files
now get installed in minix/llvm/bin
- Fix for possible unset uid/gid in toproto
- Fix for default mtree style
- Update libelf
- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)
get getservbyport() out of the inner loop

* Remove static proto.dev
* Update releasetools/*image.sh not to use proto.dev, as well as
minor comments cleanup
* Add TOOL_TOPROTO

To do so, a few dependencies have been imported:
* external/bsd/lutok
* external/mit/lua
* external/public-domain/sqlite
* external/public-domain/xz
The Kyua framework is the new generation of ATF (Automated Test
Framework), it is composed of:
* external/bsd/atf
* external/bsd/kyua-atf-compat
* external/bsd/kyua-cli
* external/bsd/kyua-tester
* tests
Kyua/ATF being written in C++, it depends on libstdc++ which is
provided by GCC. As this is not part of the sources, Kyua is only
compiled when the native GCC utils are installed.
To install Kyua do the following:
* In a cross-build enviromnent, add the following to the build.sh
commandline: -V MKBINUTILS=yes -V MKGCCCMDS=yes
WARNING:
At this point the import is still experimental, and not supported
on native builds (a.k.a make build).
Change-Id: I26aee23c5bbd2d64adcb7c1beb98fe0d479d7ada
-By adding MKGCC=yes and MKGCCCMDS=yes on the make commandline
it is now possible to compile and install GCC on the system.
Before doing this, if you are not using the build.sh script,
you will need to call the fetch scripts in order to retrieve
the sources of GCC and its dependencies.
-Reduce difference with NetBSD share/mk
Move Minix-specific parameters from bsd.gcc.mk to bsd.own.mk,
which is anyway patched, so that bsd.gcc.mk is now aligned
on the NetBSD version.
-Clean libraries dependencies, compiles stdc++ only if gcc is
also compiled (it is part of the gcc sources)
-Correct minix.h header sequence, cleanup spec headers.
-Fix cross-compilation from a 32bit host targeting MINIX/arm
Change-Id: I1b234af18eed4ab5675188244e931b2a2b7bd943
- Enable installing binutils from the base system.
- Import texinfo which is required for the binutils tools
to be compiled.
- Also adapted the fetch rules to correctly generate the
gitignore files for gcc, and allow the case of multiple
modules in the same directory, as found in gnu/dist.
Warning: This patch has an entry in docs/UPDATING
Change-Id: Ib781734e8fd7f9c6265fa65d62ba2cf3fccbc5ba
With the addition of utimes(), we can remove the workarounds
and use the original NetBSD code for timestamping files.
Also restore use of -p & -r for install while building
. split user-editable and system-owned files in etc/Makefile
. mtab is a symlink, not a file now; remove it
. force-install of certain system-controlled /etc files from
top Makefile
. rename /etc/make.conf to /etc/mk.conf; and don't set $ARCH;
reduce difference in bsd.own.mk
Change-Id: I9f4bbb8d37ba80cba7dcfcf1a9a89e934910f579
Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.
There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
* Remade patch so it works with minix patch tool.
* New MINIX tar support -ox, so revert back to it
In fetch scripts, tar had been replaced by bsdtar as the prebvious
tar did not support the -o flag under minix, which is required to
prevent usage of tar file stored user and group information.
This introduces portability problems. As our new tar tool now
support that flag revert back to improve portability.
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
