David P. Reese, Jr. has completed the 4th stage of his work separating syscalls. This patch splits getsockopt()
and setsockopt()
. It’s not yet committed as of this writing, but there are no objections yet. A side benefit of this work is that calls like stackgap_init()
and stackgap_alloc()
can be removed, as they copy data into an area of kernel memory that’s easily overwritten.
The aforementioned K&R -> ANSI cleanups have been committed – that’s about 160 files in bin and sbin that have been cleaned up.
