The gencore() and freecore() code in gencore.c is guarded by
POSTK_DEBUG_ARCH_DEP_18, so the call to these functions should
also be guarded, otherwise linking fails.
Previously the allocator would return all availble memory for a
request of 0 pages. This is rather counter-intuitive and left no
memory for subsequent allocations.
This is for linking only. visit_pte_range_safe() is required only
for memdump, as far as i can tell. Since memdump is disabled anyway
I think it's ok to leave this function empty for now.
This lets one specify arbitrary kernel parameters, instead of manually
fiddling with the script.
Could ultimately replace params like -t (turbo) and -d (dump_level) that
do not have any side effect (logmode starts a userland daemon)
There is no good reason to map these low addresses (userspace could with
mmap fixed, but that is grounds for many exploits...);
the main advantage however is if we do a null deref or close to (0->foo)
within a pagefault we will get a panic stack instead of getting a hang
because we cannot get some locks.
- make should be $(MAKE)
- add + in front of rules spawning long-lasted make process in a
subshell. (This would not be needed with $(MAKE) -C .. target, but our
makefiles do not handle that because they use $(PWD))
- split the main 'all' rule as all 4 targets are independant
- fix dependencies where appropriate for parallelism
Extra, not speed-related changes:
- remove some double-colon for targets as they do not need it
This cuts build time from 5s to 1.5s on a laptop with -j4, and more
importantly from 85s to 35s on a KNL node.
As a bonus, the fixed dependencies removes the need to clean before
rebuilding all the time. Probably.
McKernel would terminate() running program on terminal resizing
It actually looks like there is nothing for us to do when we
get that anyway (tested with `dialog`)
