2019-12-26It is believed that an implementation of madvise was available inJonathan Gray
SunOS 4.0 based on text from the following papers. "Two 4.2BSD system calls, madvise and mincore, remain unspecified, madvise is intended to provide information to the system to influence its management policies. Since a major rework of such policies was deferred to a future release, we decided to defer full specification and implementation of madvise until that time." R. Gingell, J. Moran, W. Shannon "Virtual Memory Architecture in SunOS" Proceedings of USENIX Summer Conference, June 1987 AUUGN Volume 8 Number 5, October 1987 "Memory management related system calls based on the original 4.2BSD specification that were implemented include mmap, munmap, mprotect, madvise, and mincore." J. Moran "SunOS Virtual Memory Implementation" Proceedings of the Spring 1988 European UNIX Users Group Conference, April 1988 AUUGN Volume 9 Number 3, June 1988 and a reference in "Global Index", Part Number: 800-1758-10, Revision A, of 9 May 1988 bitsavers pdf/sun/sunos/4.0/800-1758-10A_Global_Index_198805.pdf discussed with an ok schwarze@

2019-12-21In "4.2BSD System Manual" (/usr/doc/sysman in 4.2BSD source)Jonathan Gray
mmap(), munman(), madvise() and mprotect() are described as planned for later releases. A fully functional mmap(2) supporting shared libraries first appeared in SunOS 4.0 along with msync(2). SunOS 4.1 added madvise(3) and replaced msync(2) with mctl(2) which was was used to implement msync(3), mlock(3) and munlock(3). While some of these functions appear as empty or ifdef'd functions in 4.1cBSD and later it was not until the Mach VM was integrated with Net/2 that most of them were implemented. Though the CSRG releases never supported shared libraries or madvise(). mlock()/munlock() were not in Net/2 as they were added by hibler in 1993, but were in 4.4BSD. madvise(2) was implemented for UVM in NetBSD 1.5 and ported to OpenBSD 2.7. For now instead of trying to accurately describe when interfaces first appeared in other systems correct when they were first available in CSRG or OpenBSD releases, retaining the text in mmap(2) discussing SunOS 4.0. madvise(2) 4.4BSD -> OpenBSD 2.7 mmap2(2) 4.4BSD -> 4.3BSD Net/2 mprotect(2) 4.4BSD -> 4.3BSD Net/2 msync(2) 4.4BSD -> 4.3BSD Net/2 munmap(2) 4.1cBSD -> 4.3BSD Net/2

2019-09-04gettimeofday, settimeofday(2): limit timezone supportcheloha
For gettimeofday(2), always copy out an empty timezone struct. For settimeofday(2), still copyin(9) the struct but ignore the contents. In gettimeofday(2)'s case we have not changed the original BSD semantics: the kernel only tracks UTC time without an offset for DST, so a zeroed timezone struct is the correct thing to return to the caller. Future work could move these out into libc as stubs for clock_gettime and clock_settime(2). But, definitely a "later" thing, given that we are in beta. Update the manpage to de-emphasize the timezone parameters for these syscalls. Discussed with tedu@, deraadt@, millert@, kettenis@, yasuoka@, jca@, and guenther@. Tested by job@. Ports input from jca@ and sthen@. Manpage input from jca@. ok jca@ deraadt@
