DUV32FAS00003-19980714 DIGITAL UNIX V3.2F Aggregate ECO Summary
TITLE: DUV32FAS00003-19980714 DIGITAL UNIX V3.2F Aggregate ECO Summary
 
Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1998.  All rights reserved.

PRODUCT:    DIGITAL UNIX [R] 3.2F
SOURCE:     Compaq Computer Corporation

ECO INFORMATION:

     ECO Kit Name:  DUV32FAS00003-19980714
     ECO Kit Approximate Size:  39MB 
     Kit Applies To:  DIGITAL UNIX 3.2F


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An update ECO kit exists for DIGITAL UNIX 3.2F.  This is the aggregate,
setld-based, patch kit for DIGITAL UNIX 3.2F.  It is a cumulative patch kit
that contains all patches that are currently available for distribution.  
The patch kit provides the ability to selectively install patches.

The Release Notes and Installation Instructions document provides patch kit 
installation and removal instructions and a summary of each patch. Please read 
through the document prior to installing patches on your system.

Note:
At this time, the release note/installation document is only available in 
postscript form. It will be available in text and HTML formats in the future.  


INSTALLATION NOTES:

1. Install this kit with the dupatch utility that is included in the patch kit. 
   The Release Notes and Installation Instructions document provides detailed 
   patch installation, patch removal, and a summary of each patch.  You may
   need to baseline your system if you have manually changed system files on 
   your system.  The dupatch utility provides the baselining capability. 

2. The setld-based patch kits DO NOT know about any of the patches provided in 
   previous manual-install official or test patch kits.  A baseline must be set 
   for systems that have been manually patched.  This can be accomplished by 
   selecting option 5 "Patch Baseline Analysis/Adjustment" from the dupatch 
   menu.


SUPERSEDED PATCH LIST:
This patch kit supersedes the following DIGITAL UNIX patches:
   
   DUV32FAS00002-19971001		! Previous Aggregate Patch Kit


KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THIS PATCH KIT:
   None.

A flaw exists in Digital UNIX SMP systems that results in duplicate namecache 
entries being created.  Under heavy file system lookup operations this can 
eventually result in a simple lock timeout and a system panic.

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:	OSF370-008 (8.00), OSF370-009 (9.00),
			OSF370-027 (27.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- A problem that occurs with the NCR 53C8XX driver (psiop) in which the device 
  may not appear to be on the SCSI bus.

- Data corruption due to change in DNAD register behavior on Symbios
  810A/825A/860/875 chips.

- At boot, when probing the psiop driver, the system may continuously loop
  generating the following error message:

    "siopintr: interrupt for non-initialized controller"
PROBLEM:        (QAR 36371)		(Patch ID: OSF370-008, OSF370-009)
********
At boot, when probing the psiop driver, the system may continuously loop
generating the following error message:

    "siopintr: interrupt for non-initialized controller"

This error rarely occurs. Our test cases only encountered it when continuously
rebooting for 18+ hours. To cause the machine to reboot, the system usually
started a "shutdown -r now" as part of the bootup sequence

PROBLEM:	(QAR 46878)		(Patch ID: OSF370-027)
********
Data corruption due to change in DNAD register behavior on Symbios 
810A/825A/860/875 chips.

This data corruption problem is difficult to detect as no error report, etc.
is given when it occurs. The data corruption can be identified by the pattern 
in the corrupted data. Commonly, at the point of corruption, there will be 3 
bytes of unknown data inserted into the valid data stream.

This problem is induced by a chip register behavior change between the 810 and 
810a. The register (DNAD) is used to calculate the next dma address whenever a 
dma transfer is interrupted by a phase change by the scsi device.

This problem can be reproduced using the UEG engineering test script 
"dt_tag_rotate_sh" which tests unaligned data accesses.

PROBLEM:	(49240)	 		(Patch ID: OSF370-040)
********
This patch fixes a problem that occurs with the NCR 53C8XX driver (psiop).

In rare cases when negotiating sync xfr rates, the driver may reject the 
target's Synchronous Transfer Negotiation, even if the target replied with a 
synchronous offset equal to zero, thereby implying asynchronous transfers.

A device not expecting this behavior may not appear to be connected to the 
system.

The RW531 Optical Jukebox, with Rev 0.37 firmware or later, does not expect 
this behavior and will exhibit the symptoms of the optical disk devices 
appearing on the SCSI bus, but not the changer devices.

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:	OSF370-039 (39.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes problem on AlphaServer 2100A system; when the system is shut
  down using the "shutdown -r" command, the system will not reboot.

- Alphaserver 2100A system crashes during boot with greater than 1GB of 
  memory installed.

Crash-dumps to non-re0 RAID devices broken on all PCI & EISA machines.
PROBLEM:	(QAR 46654)		(Patch ID: OSF370-365025)
********
When a system crash is attempted to a RAID disk that is anything but device
"re0", the crash dump will fail.

The typical (console) error message will look something like this:
 (this is a dump to re3):
DUMP: 8482815 blocks available for dumping.
DUMP: 524273 required for a full dump.
DUMP: Our last 524272 goes in the 8220671 on 0xb00082, starting at 0

                                   ^.............
the error is that the 5th field should be zero -'
This problem can be reproduced on a PCI or EISA machine with a RAID controller 
(SWXCR-xx) by forcing a system crash when the swap device is anything but re0.  
To force a system crash, refer to the Guide to Kernel Debugging, section 4.7.

This patch fixes a problem where processes on a system may block in an 
uninterruptible state and never run again.

This problem occurs when using NFS loopback mounts.  The stack trace of the 
current running processes on the system will not display a problem.  Although, 
if the stack trace of the blocked processes is displayed and the trace for some
of the kernel's NFS server threads is displayed - it may look similar to the

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:	OSF370-360037 (71.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- A problem in which PATHWORKS client does not see all the files in a directory 
  when the directory is an NFS mounted OpenVMS UCX exported directory.

- Fixes a problem in which mmap activity to a file that is NFS mounted may 
  cause the client process to hang after the file is deleted.
PROBLEM:	(QAR 33924)	(Patch ID: OSF370-360037)
********
This patch fixes a problem in which mmap activity to a file that is NFS mounted
may cause the client process to hang after the file is deleted.

PROBLEM:  (MGO101779, QAR 46334) (Patch ID: OSF370-360050)
********
This patch fixes a problem in which PATHWORKS client does not see all the files
in a directory when the directory is an NFS mounted OpenVMS UCX exported 
directory.

On an Digital UNIX system a nfs mount to a VMS-UCX system exists.  For this 
mount point a share is setup in Pathworks.

PCs connect to this share and don't see all files of this VMS directory, some 
files and subdirectories are missing.  But on the pc it is possible to type the
files which are not seen or it is possible to do a cd to the directory which is
not seen.  In Pathworks the user has all permissions for that share so he can 
read all files, he can delete the file but it is not possible to write a file 
to this directory.

The same files which are seen on DOS are shown in
  PWADMIN - Shared Resources - Permit!

Examples:
1. It is not possible to see the file x.txt.
   If x.txt is renamed to a.txt then the file is seen in the directory listing.

2. It is not possible to copy a file to this share (drive X)
   COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS X: returns the error
   File not found - X:CONFIG.SYS
   0 Files copied
   ---------------
There is no problem in the directory listing if ls command is executed
on Digital UNIX.  Besides ls -al displays root as owner for every file.

PROBLEM:  (DJOB3K133, QAR 46595)	 (Patch ID: OSF370-360062)
********
The ar command's -x option, which extracts archive files, may in error, return 
a message stating that the specified archive file was not found.

To duplicate the problem, create a library with the command
  'ar r /tmp/foo.a /tmp/bar.o'.

Issuing the command 'ar -x /tmp/foo.a /tmp/bar.o' will generate the message
  "ar: Error: /tmp/bar.o not found"
even though the file exists in the archive.

With the fix, the same command extracts /tmp/bar.o from /tmp/foo.a without 
generating an error message.

This patch corrects the following:

- This patch allows system managers to both set and obtain quotas for users 
  and groups which are numeric when using the edquota, vedquota, quota and 
  vquota programs.  It also provides new options to allow them to specify 
  userids and groupids.
PROBLEM:  (HPXQ87072, QAR 46521)	 (Patch ID: OSF370-360064-1)
********
This patch allows system managers to both set and obtain quotas for users and 
groups which are numeric when using the edquota, vedquota, quota and vquota 
programs. It also provides new options to allow them to specify userids and 
groupids.

In the past, when the input to these commands was a numeric username or
groupname, the commands would either report that the name couldn't be found,
or would interpret it as the wrong user or group (when the name coincidentally 
matched a valid userid or groupid).

For circumstances where the user wishes to specify userid or groupid the -U and
-G options have been added.

This correction also extends the edquota and vedquota prototype option to allow 
convenient use of names and ids. In the past a numeric argument to the "-p" 
option was incorrectly considered an id, not a name.  Now, the argument to "-p"
will always refer to a name while the argument to the new option "-P" will 
refer to an id.

Examples

To apply the quotas of user1 to user2, specifying both by their names:
    edquota -p user1name user2name

To apply the quotas of user1 (specified by id), to user2 (specified by id):
    edquota -P user1id -U user2id

Also, note that new versions of the message catalogue files are issued for each
of the programs. These must be updated only if they are on the system.

Card lockup problem using the ATM IP convergence module.
PROBLEM:	(HPXQC2E60,QAR 42749)	 	(Patch ID: OSF370-350115)
********	
Card lockup problem using the ATM IP convergence module.

How to recognize the problem:

 In the kern.log file you can see messages similar to:

  Dec 19 11:06:47 bcaryf03 vmunix: received 144 bytes for non-existent VC 50

 and if you have set up a simple test between two systems using a ping over
 the ATM interface, you will see that the signalling between VC's which have
 been sending and receiving throughout the test will suddenly stop receiving
 packets.  The VC's will continue to be able to send packets.

How to reproduce the problem:

 Setup two nodes A and B connected through a FORE switch and an ATM IP
 PVC between the two.

 From node B, issue the ping command over ATM IP. (leave the ping command

When a user changes virtual memory (vm) tuning parameters due to slow

PROBLEM:	(ISO100191,42778)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350138)
********
When a user changes virtual memory (vm) tuning parameters due to slow
performance and reboots the machine, the system panics.  This can occur when
setting vm tuning parameters to improve X Windows performance in systems under
heavy memory loads.  This problem is commonly referred to as "window freeze"
and was first discovered on Alphastation 500/600's. Note, the problem is not
exclusive to 500/600's.

The following is an example of a system panic:

WORKAROUND:

Apply this patch and determine whether the vm tuning parameters should be
adjusted.  The guidelines for changing vm tuning parameters are listed below.

VERIFICATION / VM TUNING PARAMETER ADJUSTMENTS:

The windowing system on AlphaStation 500/600's may experience poor window 
response in a heavy paging environment.  Although this problem occurs 
on all platforms, it is most pronounced on AlphaStation 500/600's.

Mouse movement on the system is uneffected, but windowing operations such as 
exposing a window, dragging a window, and so on, are degraded.  When this 
condition occurs, you may not be able to telnet or rlogin to the system.  These
symptoms can occur for some period of time (greater than 2 minutes), or may 
subside after a few seconds. The cause of these symptoms is due to a memory 
intensive application(s) depleting the number of pages on the free list to an 
absolute minimum.  When this occurs, only privileged tasks are able to get 
memory (for example, free pages) and all others tasks are blocked (in this 
case the window manager).

Check to see if your system is experiencing this problem by running "vmstat 2"
in a separate xterm while your application(s) are running. Your system will
display output similar to the following:

#
  vmstat 2
Virtual Memory Statistics: (pagesize = 8192)

Note the amount of free pages available under the column "free".  If this
number falls below the reserved amount (vm-page-free-reserved), your system
has hit this condition.

In the previous example, "vm-page-free-reserved" is set to its default value
of ten pages.  The previous example shows that the VM subsystem has been
overwhelmed.  If this is the case on your system, you will most likely
experience degraded window performance along with other performance
degradations. If the vmstat output on your system does not exhibit these
results (or similar ones), DO NOT tune your system per the recommendations
in this note.

GUIDELINES FOR CHANGING VM TUNING PARAMETERS:

1. Run "vmstat 2" to determine if vm tuning parameters should be changed.  
   (See previous section, "PROBLEM VERIFICATION").

2. Update the vm-page-free-target, vm-page-free-optimal, and vm-page-free-min
   tuning parameters in the /etc/sysconfigtab file.  If your system has less
   than 128 MB of memory, try doubling from the default values until you reach
   a happy medium between application performance and user interactivity.  Note,
   the default values are 128, 74, and 20, respectively.  Refer to the "System
   Tuning and Performance Management Manual" for more information on system 
   tuning.  The following parameter values provide fairly good interactivity 
   with moderate performance degradation on a Alphastation 6000 with 128M of 
   physical memory:

vm:
 vm-page-free-target=4096
 vm-page-free-optimal=4096
 vm-page-free-min=2048

The numbers provided in the previous example are designed to keep a larger
than normal number of pages on the free list (as a buffer) by starting to page
earlier than normal (via a larger vm-page-free-min) and by stopping paging
later than usual (via a larger vm-page-free-target).  In addition, swapping
of tasks is enhanced to force the memory crunching task to be swapped out
occasionally (via a larger vm-page-free-optimal). You may find that your
system behaves fine with some manipulation of these parameters.  Note
that these tuning parameters were devised to provide some level of user
interactivity in a heavy paging/swapping environment.  They may not be the
best solution for your particular needs, but may provide a reasonable starting
place. Note, if your system does not have 128M of memory, pare down these
numbers. The units for these values are pages (which are 8KB) resulting in
some hefty chunks of memory (for example, 32MB).  Again, try doubling the
default values until you reach some happy medium. You can check the default
values using dbx as follows:

# dbx -k /vmunix

(dbx) p vm_page_free_target
2048
(dbx) p vm_page_free_optimal
1029
(dbx) p vm_page_free_min
20
(dbx) p vm_page_free_reserved
10

3. Reboot the system.

4. Raise the priority of the window manager (mwm or dtwn).
   a. Open a DECterm and kill the currently running manager.  For example:

      kill -9 pid

      Note that the pid is the process ID of the window manager found using
      the ps ax command.

   b. Restart the window manager using the system utility "nice".  For example:

      nice -2 mwm &

      or

      nice -2 dtwm &

If the system is tuned correctly, what you should see happen is a small
latency when the memory intensive application starts which will balance as
the memory subsystem recovers.  You should be able to expose
windows and drag them around, and so on.  If you expose a window that
has not been used for some time, expect some latency.  Remember, you are now
working in a heavy paging/swapping environment and those pages are not yet
available.

You will need to kill and restart the window manager each time you terminate
your X session.  Remember, you will need to be a privileged user (for example,
root).

After performing the previous steps, you should see marked improvement in user
interactivity when the system experiences heavy memory loads.

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:     OSF370-350054 (90.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- "ufs_getapage: allocation failed" panic.

- Applications that continuously map and unmap large data files hang in 
  uninterruptable state.
PROBLEM:	(uvo103444)		(Patch ID: OSF370-350054)
********
The user's large data base application would hang in an uninterruptible state
after running for a while.  The process could not be terminated by any user
action except to reboot the system.

The user's program was memory mapping large data files, and was continually
unmapping and remapping pages of the file.  Eventually the process would hang
in an uninterruptible state when it tried to write to a part of the mapped file
that was swapped out.  

Here is a typical stack trace of a thread hung in this condition:

	thread_block
	lock_read
	ufs_getpage
	u_vp_fault
	vm_fault
	trap
	_XentMM
	bcopy
	uiomove
	ufs_rwip
	ufs_write
	vn_write
	rwuio
	write
	syscall

Running in lockmode=4 produced a panic with the message:

	"lock_read: lock already owned by thread"

instead of a hung process.

Using Peer Server 1.3 ECO1 and token ring network interface(s), source routing

PROBLEM:        (MCPM26D74/QAR 43974)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350144)
********
After installing and configuring Digital Peer Server version 1.3, EC01, token 
ring source routing tables may not be built correctly.  If you have multiple 
token ring interfaces, additional interfaces will not initialize and links 
between remote stations cannot be established.

How to recognize the problem:

Typical error messages will appear with multiple interfaces indicating 
unreliable connections.  You may observe console messages similar to the 
following:

        Event: Link Halted

        Link Halted Reason = Implementation Specific

Check source routing module level:

        "srconfig -rc" command displays several failures with no responses for 
	ARE packets. One may  not notice these errors if source routing was 
        not enabled

Check at Applications level:

        The applications like Peer server may not be able establish links with
        remote SNA nodes. This can be verified with NCL command:

        ncl> show sna cp serv t g * all

        The above command displays status of the Transmission Groups as either 
	"Idle" or "On-connecting".

The mold daemon component of the Common Agent leaks memory when running with the
DEC SNA PeerServer product.
PROBLEM:	(CFS.27284)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350169)
********
The DEC SNA PeerServer product instantiates a new (protocol engine) daemon that
connects to the mold daemon component of the Common Agent each time an incoming
request is received by the DEC SNA PeerServer product from the network.

The PeerServer product can handle hundreds of requests per minute, each time
starting and then stopping its protocol engine daemon that connects to the mold
daemon.  The mold daemon does not clean up the socket connection that gets
created each time the PeerServer creates a new connection to the mold, leaking
several thousand bytes of virtual memory per connection, plus leaves the socket
connection dangling.

Over time, the mold component can consume all available virtual memory, causing
unpredictable results and system performance degradation.  Ultimately, the
customer is forced to stop and restart the PeerServer product, which is not
acceptable to the customer, as this process is very resource intensive and
can take many minutes to complete.

Errors may get logged in the /var/adm/syslog.dated//daemon.log file,
including messages similar to these (t21mcd and t21mad are DEC SNA PeerServer
daemon components; mold is a Common Agent daemon component):

into LSM.

PROBLEM:	(QAR 44567, QAR 46976)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350244-1)
********
This patch fixes a problem in which an LSM configuration database
becomes corrupted when it grows beyond 128 KB. 

The LSM daemon displays an error message similar to the following 
when it starts up:

	bad magic number

Attempting to create 1019 LSM volumes also corrupts the LSM configuration 
database (since the size grows beyond 128KB).

Once the LSM configuration database is corrupted, it will have to be re-created.


PROBLEM:        (QAR 39624)             (Patch ID: OSF370-350213)
********
This patch fixes a problem on ASE systems where LSM volumes remain
in SYNC state when no volume resync or volplex att command is running.
This results in performance degradation.

The volprint command shows that the state of the volume is SYNC, as in:

 # volprint -g oracledg -vl oracle
    Volume:     oracle
    info:       len=8379551
    type:       usetype=fsgen
    state:      state=SYNC kernel=ENABLED
    assoc:      plexes=oracle-01,oracle-02
    policies:   read=ROUND exceptions=GEN_DET_SPARSE
    flags:      open rwback (offset=0) writecopy writeback
    logging:    type=BLKNO loglen=1 serial=0/5 (enabled)
    device:     minor=8 bdev=40/8 cdev=40/8 path=/dev/vol/oracledg/oracle
    perms:      user=root group=system mode=0600

However, ps shows no volresync or volplex att command executing, as:

    # ps -e -o command | egrep 'volume|volplex'
    #

The problem can be reproduced with the following scenario:

    1) Create a volume by giving the two plexes in the same volmake.
       Thus the volume will contain the two plexes before it is started

    2) Ensure the volume uses plexes having a log sub-disk, even if the
      volume log_type is not using the log sub-disks.

    3) Once the volume is started by the 'volume start' command,
       abort the copy process by either:

                a) Shutting down the system.
                b) Deporting the disk group.
                c) Killing the volume start process.
                d) Restarting the ASE service utilizing that volume.
                e) Relocating the ASE service utilizing that volume.

    Now the volume will stay in SYNC state across reboots
    and ASE restart and stop/start sequences.

This patch fixes a halt/restart problem with the mfa driver ESP self-test.

If the DEMFA interface halts, self-tests are performed.  The mfareset routine 
contained a bug which prevented the interface from restarting after the halt.

The DEMFA interface may also halt due to it's inability to allocate (malloc) 
memory for it's buffers. 

Typical error messages in the /var/adm/messages file will include:

This patch fixes a problem in which a system running ksh as the login shell 
would wipe out the previous contents of the history file (for example, 
.sh_history) and put the new information in the same file.

This occurs after a user logs into an ULTRIX system from a Digital UNIX system 
using the telnet or rlogin commands.

On the associated Ultrix machine, install the official patch for CLD HPAQ6E7B
for mounting the NFS filesystem from the UNIX machine.

To verify if the problem exists, do the following:

1. On the Digital UNIX system setup a new account, with /bin/ksh as 
   the login SHELL, and NFS mount the home directory from the ULTRIX system.

2. rlogin into the Digital UNIX system from the ULTRIX system and issue 
   a few commands.  Make sure "history" shows the commands you just issued.

   cat ".sh_history" just to sanity check what's in there; logout.

3. rlogin into the ULTRIX system and issue a few commands.
   Then cat ".sh_history" file and see whether the previous commands
   have been recorded from the Digital UNIX system or the ULTRIX system.

   You will notice that the new commands from the ULTRIX system are recorded
   into the .sh_history file, but the commands from the Digital UNIX system 
   get wiped out.

4. rlogin into the Digital UNIX system again from the ULTRIX system.  cat 
   ".sh_history" to ensure that the ULTRIX commands still exist, then enter a 
   few commands.  Finally, cat ".sh_history" file and notice that the previous 
   ULTRIX commands get wiped out.

If the "showmount -e host" command does not receive the requested export list 
from the specified host within 25 seconds, it will issue the following error 
message:         Can't do Exports rpc: RPC: Timed out

The most likely cause for receiving this error is if the specified host system 
is running a 3rd party product that provides its own file system interface 
_AND_ if accessing that file system is slow (perhaps on the first reference to 
the file system) _AND_ if a sufficient number of such file systems are exported 
so that 'mountd' takes a long time to read and verify the list of exported file 
systems. 

Generally speaking, 'mountd' is able to read and verify its export list in less
than a second or a few seconds worst case for a very large list.  However, if 
conditions do exist that would cause 'showmount' to issue the above error, then
this version of 'showmount' provides options that will allow the time out value 
to be changed. 

    -t nnn specifies the time out value in seconds.
    -T specifies an infinite time out.

A process may hang while attempting to obtain a file lock using flock() when
run on an SMP system.  

A dbx stack trace on a running system would look similar to the following:

   0 thread_block() ["../../../../src/kernel/kern/sched_prim.c"]
   1 mpsleep() ["../../../../src/kernel/bsd/kern_synch.c"]
   2 vn_flock() ["../../../../src/kernel/vfs/vfs_vnops.c"]
   3 flock() ["../../../../src/kernel/bsd/kern_descrip.c"]
   4 syscall() ["../../../../src/kernel/arch/alpha/syscall_trap.c"]
   5 _Xsyscall() ["../../../../src/kernel/arch/alpha/locore.s"]

The hung process can be interrupted with Control/C or any other kill SIGNAL.

This situation can occur if multiple processes are locking and unlocking the
same file using the flock() system call on an SMP system.  

This problem will not occur on a single CPU system.

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:	OSF370-350227 (179.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- The server host will have an orphaned login process and rlogind or telnetd
  process in sleep state indefinitely.  This is seen only with Asian tty (atty) 
  or any other host which is running c-list rather than STREAMS tty's.

- This patch addresses kernel memory fault panics seen in systems running
  with clist-based pseudo-ttys.  The kernel memory faults occur either during
  unrelated malloc() calls, or in calls to proc_ref() from ttymodem().
PROBLEM:	(TKTR21634)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350227)

A dangling "s_ttyvp" vnode pointer in a session structure can allow a reference
to the session structure after it has been freed.  This corruption eventually
causes a panic in an unrelated malloc() from kmembuckets[2], from which session
structures are allocated.  The corruption to the freed session structure can be
identified by looking at the faulting address, which indicates that the 
corruption was done in ttyclose():

This problem affects only Digital UNIX systems using C-list-type tty's.  If a
user attempts to log into such a system remotely, using either telnet or rlogin,
and kills the remote-access application (telnet or rlogin) during the login
procedure (at the "Password:" prompt) then the rlogind or telnetd process will
be left in a sleep state indefinitely.  This condition can be recognized by the
presense of rlogind or telnetd processes in the process table with no associated
remote user.

PROBLEM:	(QAR 36520, QAR 48372)	 (Patch ID: OSF370-350287)
********
Some valid programs compiled with ieee mode may receive a floating-point
exception even though they should run to completion.

The problem occurs because the floating-point exception handler is too strict
when attempting to enforce trap shadow rules (SRM 4.7.6.1).

The following C program fails when executed on a system with a DECchip 21064.

Compile the following program with the command:

cc -migrate -g -ieee_with_inexact t.c -o t

        f( int dum, ... ) {
        }

        main() {
            int ii = 50;
            f( 42,
                (float)ii / 100,
                (float)ii / 100,
                (float)ii / 100 );
        }

Results on a system with a 21046 chip before applying the patch:

PROBLEM:	(TKTQ51382  QAR 46989)	 (Patch ID: OSF370-350289)
********
The code generator used an incorrect codegen sequence when doing stack 
allocation within procedure prologs where the size of the stack was very large 
(for example, when a structure is passed as an entity rather than as a pointer).
This led to an improper instruction sequence where a register value was 
dereferenced as an address pointer, when in fact the register was a temp and 
had just been corrupted by a previous function call which generated the error 
message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:	OSF370-350233 (183.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- A problem that occurs on multi-processor machines in which the at command 
  causes extra batch jobs to be executed. Sometimes temporary files are created
  and not removed, causing the queue limit to be exceeded.

- A problem in which cron jobs will not run if there is an unfinished job in 
  another queue. This problem occurs even if the queue for the job is empty.
PROBLEM:  (HPAQ40CCC)		 (Patch ID: OSF370-350233)
********
This patch fixes a problem in which cron jobs will not run if there is an 
unfinished job in another queue. This problem occurs even if the queue for the 
job is empty.

Typically, a long job is the only job scheduled from cron.  After that job 
terminates, another cron job starts executing.  This results in several 
"MAXRUN procs reached" messages getting displayed to the error log.  The 
/var/adm/cron/FIFO file, which should only exist while jobs remain queued, 
remains around much longer than expected.

This problem can be reproduced by running the following test.  To do this, you 
need three windows running the following commands:
 truss -p     You might want to script
 tail -f /var/cron/log    the truss and batch_two.ksh
 batch_two.ksh     processes.

The batch_two.ksh file is:
#!/bin/ksh
 echo "sleep 9999" | batch
 integer COUNT=1
 while [ COUNT -lt 60 ] ; do
  echo "sleep 15" | batch
  (( COUNT = COUNT + 1 ))
 done

(
 sleep 222
 echo "sleep 700" | at -qr now +1 minute
 echo "sleep 750" | at -qr now +1 minute
 echo "sleep 800" | at -qs now +1 minute
 echo "sleep 14" | batch
 ) &

 integer STOP=0 PS
 while [ $STOP -eq 0 ] ; do
  atq | tee /tmp/atq.out
  ps -ef|grep sleep | tee /tmp/ps.out
  ls -l /etc/cron.d/FIFO
  date
  PS=`cat /tmp/ps.out | wc -l`
  AT=`cat /tmp/atq.out`
  [ $PS -le 1 -a "$AT" = "no files in queue." ] && STOP=1 || sleep 10
 done
 echo "$0 finished."
 rm -f /tmp/atq.out /tmp/ps.out

        integer STOP=0 PS
 while [ $STOP -eq 0 ] ; do
  atq | tee /tmp/atq.out
  ps -ef|grep sleep | tee /tmp/ps.out
  ls -l /etc/cron.d/FIFO
  date
  PS=`cat /tmp/ps.out | wc -l`
  AT=`cat /tmp/atq.out`
  [ $PS -le 1 -a "$AT" = "no files in queue." ] && STOP=1 || sleep 10
 done
 echo "$0 finished."
 rm -f /tmp/atq.out /tmp/ps.out



The previous test shows that a long running job will prevent cron from
scheduling jobs from any queue until one of the following events occur:

 1) The long running job exits, or
 2) Cron exhausts the FIFO list of already completed jobs
    (one minute per job)

Either of these conditions may take a very long time.  For a long running job, 
such as a part14 report, it may be hours.  It could take cron a very long time 
to exhaust the FIFO list at one minute per job (200 completed jobs = 3.3 hours).

The intertesting part of the test occurs when the background sleep 222 
completes and places the four new jobs in queues r, s, and b. These jobs will 
wait for a long time when they do not need to wait at all.

  This problem can be encountered on any system that validates TOS (Type Of

PROBLEM:	(MCPMC0L3C/QAR 50410)		 (Patch ID: OSF370-350318)
********
This patch fixes a problem with the ftp command.  If you ftp to an IBM MVS
system using the IP address, the IBM system will refuse the connection.  This
problem can be encountered on any system that validates TOS (Type Of Service)
requests if the file /etc/iptos is not used on the client.  It is recommended
that this patch be installed on all Digital UNIX systems.

How to recognize this problem:

If you attempt to ftp to any system that validates TOS requests, you may
see the following:

ftp> open 
Connected to 
220-FTPSERV1 IBM MVS V3R1 at SAC1, 12:08:49 on 1996/12/11
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

but it may work if you give the hostname of the system instead of the
ip address.

If you were running tcpdump, tracing the connection, you would see

In the above trace, the connection is rejected because the TOS (Type Of Service)
field contains an invalid value.  This problem can be avoided by using a
/etc/iptos file as noted in the man page.  However, the TOS field should never
have this invalid value and that is the reason for the patch.

This patch adds the new resource printOnlyPrintables to dxterm.  When this
resource is set to TRUE (the default is FALSE), dxterm will not output any
escape sequences when printing.  This is needed for some PostScript printer
(or when using a print filter) that can not handle escape sequences.
PROBLEM:	(CLD TKTQA2401)	(Patch ID: OSF370X-350023)
********
When printing to a PostScript printer (or when using a print filter) that does 
not understand ANSI escape sequences, the output contains extra, unwanted 
characters that are the actual, uninterpreted escape sequences.

This patch adds the new resource printOnlyPrintables to dxterm which can be 
used to suppress ANSI escape sequences when printing.

To enable the new resource (and tell dxterm to not send escape sequences to the
printer) start dxterm as follows:

    dxterm -xrm "*printOnlyPrintables: 1"

or add the following line to the dxterm resource file:

    DXterm.main.terminal.printOnlyPrintables: 1

If the home directory of 'ftp' (used for anonymous ftp) does not exist, or is

ftp is logged in with a home directory of '/'.

Arrange for the home directory of the 'ftp' user to be inaccessible (by 
renaming it to something else, for instance), then from ftp try logging into 
the system with anonymous ftp.  If the login is successful and the user has /

This patch corrects the following:

- Enhanced fix to the solockpair() routine; problem symptoms include
  kernel memory faults with sockets, mbufs and mblocks as well as hangs.
  Applications using sockets in a multi-threaded, multi-cpu environment can
  experience a number of lock violations with the socket structures.

- Fixes a problem in which packet filter programs do not receive packets
  when the source is sending multicast packets on an Ethernet network.

- Fixes a problem in which network applications communicating to
  one of the host's own addresses, may hang, or receive the error message:

    no buffer space available

- Fixes situation of a Digital UNIX system connected to a token ring network
  receiving a ping, not being able to respond and the token ring driver
  displays "List Error in transmit" message.

- Fixes ICMP REDIRECTS.  When an ICMP REDIRECT is received, the routing table 
  was updated properly, but the IP layer didn't use the new route information.
 
- A kernel fix for network sockets left in FIN_WAIT_1 state forever.  This 
  patch contains a "tunable" kernel parameter.  It is recommended that only 
  experienced system administrators attempt to set this parameter from the 
  default value.

- A "panic: lock_read: hierarchy violation in del_dealloc_stg" error occurs
  when a socket lock is held by a UNIX domain while calling vrele().

- Fixes a system panic caused by a Windows95 or WindowsNT system sending an 
  illegal length ping ( ICMP ) packet.  

- Fixes a kernel memory fault panic that occurs on SMP platforms when running 
  the Unicenter product from Computer Associates in conjunction with Oracle 
  software.

- Fixes a problem in which broadcast packets are received by a daemon listening
  to a port that is using both the INP_RECVDSTADDR and SO_REUSEPORT socket 
  options. The packets were not being delivered to the listening daemon.

PROBLEM:	(QAR 45094)		(Patch ID: OSF370-350158)
********
This set of files improves the performance of the network subsystem on a system
being used as a web server.  

There are additional tunable parameters included here, to be used cautiously by 
an informed system administrator.

CAUTION: Only experienced network system administrators should be using 
         these parameters to modify their system. Adverse effects may result.
	
TUNING

To tune the web server one has to take into account several parameters the 1st 
being the number of simultaneous connection requests. If the expected number 
is too low for the actual number the connections will be dropped even though 
the bandwidth is available. 

The two parameters used for adjusting this are:

To tune the web server, the number of simultaneous socket connection requests 
are limited by:

  somaxconnx	Sets the maximum number of pending requests allowed to wait 
		on a listening socket.  

		The default value in Digital UNIX V3.2 is 8.

		This patch kit increases the default to 1024, which matches 
		the value in Digital UNIX V4.0.

  sominconn	Sets the minimum number of pending connections allowed on 
		a listening socket.  When a user process calls listen with 
		a backlog less than sominconn, the backlog will be set to
                sominconn.  sominconn overrides somaxconn.  

		The default value is 1.


The effectiveness of tuning these parameters can be monitored by the sobacklog
variables available in the kernel

  sobacklog_hiwat  Tracks the maximum pending requests to any socket 
		through out the life of the system.  The initial value is 0.

  sobacklog_drops  Tracks the number of drops resulting from exceeding 
		the socket set backlog limit.  The initial value is 0.

  somaxconn_drops  Tracks the number of drops due to exceeding the somaxconn 
		limit.  When sominconn is larger than somaxconn, tracks the 
		number of drops exceeding sominconn.  The initial value is 0.


Tcp timer parameters also effect performance. Tuning the following require
some knowledge of the characteristics of the network.

  tcp_msl	Sets the tcp maximum segment lifetime.

                This is the maximum lifetime in half seconds that a packet 
		can be in transit on the network.  This value, when doubled,
                is the length of time a connection remains in the TIME_WAIT 
		state after a incoming close request is processed.  

		The unit is specified in 1/2 seconds, the initial value is 60.

  tcp_rexmit_interval_min	Sets the minimum TCP retransmit interval.

                For some WAN networks the default value may be too short, 
		causing unnecessary duplicate packets to be sent.  

		The unit is specified in 1/2 seconds, the initial value is 1.

  tcp_keepinit	This is the amount of time a partially established connection 
		will sit on the listen queue before timing out 
		(e.g. if a client sends a SYN but never answers our SYN/ACK).
                Partially established connections tie up slots on the listen 
		queue.  If the queue starts to fill with connections in 
		SYN_RCVD state, tcp_keepinit can be decreased to make those
                partial connects time out sooner.  This should be used with 
		caution, since there might be legitimate clients that are 
		taking a while to respond to SYN/ACK.  The unit is specified
                in 1/2 seconds, the default value is 150 (ie. 75 seconds).

The hashlist size for the TCP inpcb lookup table is regulated by:

  tcbhashsize   The number of hash buckets used for the TCP connection table 
		used in the kernel.  The initial value is 32.  

		For best results, should be specified as a power of 2.

The hashlist size for the interface alias table is regulated by:

  inifaddr_hsize  The number of hash buckets used for the interface alias 
		table used in the kernel.  

		The initial value is 32.  

		For best results, should be specified as a power of 2.


The maximum system assigned user port number is limited by:

   ipport_userreserved   The largest port number given to a user process 
		requesting a system-assigned port (INADDR_ANY).  

		The default is 5000, which allows 3975 ports to be assigned 
		in the range 1025-5000.  The maximum is value is 65535.

This patch is a kernel fix for network sockets left in FIN_WAIT_1 state forever.

This patch contains a "tunable" kernel parameter.  It is recommended that
only experienced system administrators attempt to set this parameter from
the default value.  

How to recognize this problem.

This is an example of the problem with tcpdump running in the background
listening on the destination ip address shown in the netstat output.

# netstat -An | grep 203.232.10.221
Active Internet connections
PCB      Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address      Foreign Address    (state)
94276c00 tcp        0    759  192.86.154.82.80   203.232.10.221.162
FIN_WAIT_1
9418ef00 tcp        0    759  192.86.154.82.80   203.232.10.221.162
FIN_WAIT_1

13:28:03.472384 www-2.us.oracle.com.80 > 203.232.10.221.1626: . 0:1(1) ack 1
win 33232
13:28:12.973072 www-2.us.oracle.com.80 > 203.232.10.221.1623: . 0:1(1) ack 1
win 33232

What is observed here is the destination is clearly dead.  The source is
sending an ACK to the destination looking for his ACK of our FIN.
This is commonly refered to as "persist mode".  A socket in this state will
never timeout and system resources associated with it will not be released.

The new kernel modification to tcp_timer.o can be "tuned" by dbx'ing the
tcp_keepidle parameter on the system.  By default, this is set to 14400
1/2 seconds (2 hours).  It can be easily set to any value appropriate for
the system to "balance" the number of sockets in FIN_WAIT_1 state at any
time.  The system may always have some sockets in FIN_WAIT_1 as well as
CLOSE_WAIT, this is NORMAL.  What you don't want is a large number of sockets
in FIN_WAIT_1 forever.  It is not recommended that tcp_keepidle be set to
less than 5 minutes on the system.

Reference the man page to dbx for guidelines when using the dbx command.

PROBLEM:        (MGO102810/QAR 49847)   (Patch ID: OSF370-350384)
********
This patch is an enhanced fix to the solockpair() routine.

This fix was needed because the routine was freeing a socket lock structure
that was concurrently spun upon in lock_write().  Typical problem symptoms
include kernel memory faults with sockets, mbufs and mblocks as well as hangs.
Applications using sockets in a multi-threaded, multi-cpu environment can
experience a number of lock violations with the socket structures.

This patch is MANDATORY to install on all systems.  It will be effective
on Uniprocessor systems when lockmode debugging is invoked.

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes a problem in which the vrestore command is unable
  to read data from a raw disk partition.

- Fixes a problem where the vrestore program does not report
  failed exit status appropriately on incomplete or incorrect commands,
  corrupt or invalid saved sets, or file open failures.

- Fixes a problem in which the vrestore command fails when running
  multiple iterations of the command in a script or from the command line.

- Required changes to the V4.0 vdump/vrestore caused the dumps to no longer be
  backward compatible.  This patch will allow you to restore a V4.0 dump on an 
  older release.

- Fix incorrect vdump file count message that shows up when vdump backs up
  a filesystem containing sockets.  vdump included sockets in it's count
  and provided a summary message that it had backed up > 100% of the files.

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes a problem with the tar "tv" command in reporting ownership on a file
  that had no legitimate owner at the time it was archived.  Based on the
  position of the file in the archive, tar returned the owner of a previous
  file, or the values -973 for userid and -993 for groupid.

- Fixes pax's tar and cpio archive handling to allow filesizes greater than 4GB.

- The tar(pax) command doesn't correctly handle sparse files, especially 
  Oracle database files. Pre-allocated space is not replaced on restore.
PROBLEM:	(MGO101962 QAR 43077)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350303-1)
********
If a database file has been created with pre-allocated but unused disk space, 
the copy operation of tar does not preserve this pre-allocated space and the 
restore (tar xv) operation will therefore create a file that is of the size of 
the actual used blocks.


PROBLEM:        (MANBBP075 HPXQC1120)   (Patch ID: OSF370-350333)
********
The pax program (invoked as pax, tar or cpio) would incorrectly handle
files larger than 4GB in size.  The program would not complain on creation
of an archive, however it had truncated the filesize when writing it to
the archive file header. Thus on extract, it would appear to have found
a corrupt archive.  In addition it will now warn when it truncates a file
that is too large to be archived (8 GB).

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes a wide variety of system panics and other problems caused
  by random memory corruption.  Problem noticed at sites hosting
  a lot of streams activity.

- Pause or stall conditions of up to 30 seconds when an application calls the 
  ldtty_close function in a STREAMS based implementation.  After the pause or

PROBLEM:	(HPXQ514E3, QAR 46310)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350209)
********
This patch fixes pause or stall conditions of up to 30 seconds when an
application calls the ldtty_close function in a STREAMS based implementation.
After the pause or stall, the application resumes normal behavior with no
other apparent side affects.

This problem typically shows when an application outputs to a streams based
device.  For example, an application "prints" data to a printer on a terminal
server using LAT protocol.  The application may expect an immediate return
but instead, experiences a pause or stall for up to 30 seconds.

Obtaining a stack trace when the stall or pause condition is occuring will show
the following footprint:


        0 thread_block()
        1 mpsleep
        2 streams_mpsleep
        3 ldtty_close
        4 close_wrapper
        5 csq_protect
        .....
        .....

After the 30 seconds expires, the application returns to normal behavior with
no other side affects noticed.  The stall condition in this example happened
with files in the size range of 4097 - 4960 bytes being queued to a printer
on a terminal server.  The size of the files by coincidence, hit the 30 sec
sleep timer just at the right time in order to uncover the bug.

********        ZPOBA0391 ZPOB60233)    (Patch ID: OSF370-350411)

This is a mandatory patch for all systems.

This patch fixes a wide variety of system panics and other problems
caused by random memory corruption.  The problem has typically shown up
at universities, or Internet service providers hosting a lot of streams
activity.

The following symptoms have appeared in a variety of places throughout
the kernel.  Corrupted memory buckets are usually the 256-byte size, although
they could be any other size.

o Lock timeouts
o Kernel memory faults

A typical stack trace is shown in the following example:

   3 panic("pmap_activate lock timeout")
   4 pmap_activate() [/src/kernel/arch/alpha/pmap.c":2710]
   5 thread_run() [src/kernel/kern/sched_prim.c":2295]
   6 idle_thread() [src/kernel/kern/sched_prim.c":3105]

In the stack trace above, the lock timed out because the lock structure (at 0xff
fffc0067fefe00) appeared to be locked when it really was not.
This was due to corruption of the structure by user data that had overflowed
from an mblk structure preceding this memory block.

To identify whether you have this memory corruption problem you have to
look beyond the stack trace.  The stack traces will vary considerably,
even on the same system, so the only way to identify this problem is to
find the corrupted memory bucket and look at the contents.

This is a typical 512-byte corrupted memory bucket.  The first 17 bytes of
data have been overwritten by data that belongs to another thread.  The
17 bytes have overflowed from an mblk structure preceding this memory bucket,
and have corrupted this memory bucket, overwriting pointers or locks or
whatever the first 3 quadwords used to contain.

(kdbx) 0xfffffc0067fefe00/32X
fffffc0067fefe00:  6918a5e6f04e78d3 cf7814aca7a32d6f
fffffc0067fefe10:  0000000000000043 0000000000000000
fffffc0067fefe20:  0000000000000000 fffffffffffffff8
fffffc0067fefe30:  0000000000000000 0000000000000001
fffffc0067fefe40:  000000000044a5cc 000000000000001a
        ...

If you display the block of memory immediately preceding the corrupted memory,
you may see an mblk structure there, if it is still around by the time the
crash dump takes place.

Sometimes the data that has corrupted the memory bucket is readable ASCII,
but more often it is unreadable binary data.

The number of bytes of data can be anywhere from 1 byte to several quadwords
of data.

This patch fixes a problem that occurs on SMP systems using LSM in which

This patch corrects the following:

- Fix greatly reduces the number of "NFS stale file handle" messages
  logged to an NFS server system console.

- Allows ome third-party NFS v2 clients to experience a performance improvement.
  Candidate applications are ones that perform read/write operations
  to a memory mapped file over NFS.

- A problem in which nfsportmon does not allow the root directory to be mounted
  from either a Solaris system or from an ULTRIX Version 4.2A system.

- Fixes a problem where SUN NFS clients cannot write to files based on group 
  membership.  With this patch, a user who has group write permission on a file
  will be able to write to the file even when the directory containing the file
  does not have group write permission.
PROBLEM:	(UTO100843)		(Patch ID: OSF370-365007)
********
NFS clients, specifically SUN NFS clients can't write files based on group
membership. Digital UNIX clients don't have this problem.

Given the following conditions:

 - A directory contained in an NFS file system with a protection code of 755.

 - A file contained in the directory with a protection code of 664.

 - The directory and the file have the same group ownership.

This corrects this problem so that users or programs with the same group code 
will have permission to modify the contents of the file.


PROBLEM:  (HPAQC854C, QAR 46335)	 (Patch ID: OSF370-365034)
********
This patch fixes a problem in which the nfsportmon command does not allow the 
root directory to be mounted from either a Solaris system or from an ULTRIX 
Version 4.2A system.

There is a program making it's way around the internet that allows 
non-priviledged users to mount filesystems, even if the nfs server is configured
to only allow root users to mount (NONROOTMOUNTS=0 in /etc/rc.config). In order
to protect against this, customers are using nfsportmon to enhance the check 
mechanism.  nfsportmon checks to make sure that file access requests were 
generated by the client kernel rather than a forged application.

However, with nfsportmon turned on, Sun Solaris clients cannot mount anything, 
even as root.

For example, if you have a Digital UNIX v3.2c nfs server, and NONROOTMOUNTS=0 
and nfsportmon is on, the root user on another Digital UNIX system can mount 
exported directories fine, but the root user on a Solaris system cannot.  The 
root user on a Solaris system gets the following error:

# mount sandpiper:/mnt /staff/ajs/mnt
nfs mount: sandpiper: NFS service not responding

With nfsportmon turned off, the directory mounts fine from Solaris.

In addition to Solaris clients failing, ULTRIX v4.2a clients also fail with
the same error.


PROBLEM:        (CLD HPXQ9722E)         (Patch ID: OSF370-365053)
********
This patch allows some third-party NFS v2 clients to experience a
performance improvement.  Candidate applications are ones that
perform read/write operations to a memory mapped file over NFS.

NOTES:

1) This patch must be enabled _BEFORE_ NFS is started because it needs
   to perform some configuration operations before client requests start
   arriving.  This why the dbx patch is to the /vmunix file and not to memory.
   If the patch is applied to memory, it will be ignored, since the
   initialization routine only runs when NFS is started.

2) Affects NFS V2 only.  NFS v3 connections are unaffected.

3) Files that are only read or only written will not be affected.

4) The NFS Dup cache and NFS Write Gathering are disabled by this patch.

 To enable the patch, perform the following steps:

     % dbx -k /vmunix
     (dbx) patch stall_write_patch_enabled=1
     (dbx) quit
     % reboot


PROBLEM:        (CLD FNO100139) (Patch ID: OSF370-365063)
********
When a directory path on an NFS server is deleted, any process attempting
to access the missing path will cause NFS stale file handle messages
to be printed on the server's console.

This patch will greatly reduce the number of these messages.

This patch corrects the following:

- Removes support for atTable, so that common applications
  (like NetView autodiscovery) will use the ipNetToMediaTable instead.

  The SNMP agent returns incorrect data when requested for the MIB II
  Address Translation Table (atTable).  The agent returns correct data
  for ipNetToMediaTable, which supercedes atTable in MIB II.

- Fixes memory leaks with the FDDI and Token Ring method routines
  used with Extensible SNMP subagent (ESNMP).

- The Host MIB code uses incorrect presentation names for some processors. 
  This is seen when retrieving the MIB variable "hrDeviceDescr".  
  This patch also adds presentation names for processors.

- This patch allows the extensible SNMP deamon to handle a very high volume of 
  SNMP trap requests.

- This patch is a general upgrade for eSNMP components.

********         (Patch ID: OSF370-360026)

This patch fixes bugs in both the operation of the SNMP agent (returned MIB
values) and bugs encountered when developing eSNMP subagents.

 o The MIB II value ifLastChange was incorrect

 o linkUp/Down traps were not generated consistently|o linkUp/Dpwn traps
   did not contain the ifIndex of the particular interface

 o The MIB II value of sysObjectID included the Digital UNIX version numbers,
   it now is a fixed value (enterprises.dec.ema.sysobjectids.decosf.esnmp)

 o The MIB II values in udpTable were being returned incorrectly in response
   to a GetNext request

 o snmpd did not read /etc/services for its port assignment

 o esnmp.h would not compile with C++

 o esnmp_poll() was not handling the UNDO phase of SetRequest processing 
   correctly

 o esnmp_sysuptime() returned bogus values before the protocol has initialized

The Host MIB code uses incorrect presentation names for some processors.

When retrieving the MIB variable "hrDeviceDescr", some processors will return
the internal Digital name instead of the proper processor name.

An example of the respective strings returned from the Host MIB follow.

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes a system panic when shutting down to single user mode using either
  one of the following commands when AdvFS is the root or usr filesystem:
     # shutdown now
     # init s

- Fixes system panic with the following error message:

   panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault

- Fixes a problem with an NFS V3 mounted AdvFS file system
  where under heavy I/O load, data written to a file may be lost.
  Additionally, because file stats are not being saved, the file
  modification time may revert to a previous value.

- Fixes system panic with the following error message:

        AdvFS exception Module=26 line=1483

- Fixes to prevent the following two panics:
   o AdvFS Exception  Module = 1, line = 1891
   o kernel memory fault

- Idle time is reset on broadcast message when AdvFS is the root file system.

- System panics with "kernel memory fault" in ubc_page_alloc().

- This patch fixes a system panic with the message "simple_lock: time limit
  exceeded".

- This patch fixes a problem that occurs with the telnet and ftp commands.
  Telnet or ftp processes that are no longer in use, are left on the system
  indefinitely.  When a user tries to log in, the login process hangs after 
  displaying the last login message.

- This patch fixes a problem in which a system using AdvFS can run out of
  metadata space when the AdvFS domain still has some free space available.
  The system will display error messages such as 'no space left on device'.
  The problem may occur on a heavily fragmented system with many small files,
  such as an Internet News server or Mail server.

- System panic with ADVFS EXCEPTION Module = 4, Line = 3541 "bs_unpinpg called
  with buffer not pinned"

- Advfs mmapped file data corruption when application fails to do msync().
  The corruption is seen after rebooting the system when file changes were made
  via mmap(). 

- Fixes a situation where an application that issues large read requests
  (each larger than 64 pages) can hang AdvFS or cause poor AdvFS performance.
  This patch fixes a problem in which an AdvFS system panics with the following
   message: "clear_buf: bufCnt = 0"

- Fixes kernel memory fault panic when mounting a crashed AdvFS file system

- Fix "kernel memory fault" or "ADVFS EXCEPTION panic string: N1= -1027" 
  panics during backup operations using AdvFS.

- System panics in AdvFS code when either:
   o ls command is run in the fileset mount directory (contains the .tags file)
   o msfsck is run at least twice and then the AdvFS fileset is unmounted

- This patch fixes a problem in which a system that was upgraded to Digital
  UNIX Version 3.2d1 and is running AdvFS, may not be able to mount its AdvFS
  multi- volume domain. Error messages will be displayed about incorrect sizes,
  volumes mounted read-only, or incorrect volume information.

- Fix for system panic "simple_lock_time_violation" with clearalias in stack 
  trace.

- This patch fixes a problem in which the getrusage system call returns zero for
  the values of ru_inblock and ru_outblock on an AdvFS file system.

- Fixes NFS rpc.lockd "can't clear lock after crash of client" when AdvFS is 
  being used.

- Fixes a problem in which an AdvFS system fails when attempting to create 
  greater than 764490 files in a directory.

System panic with ADVFS EXCEPTION Module = 4, Line = 3541

This panic translates to "bs_unpinpg called with buffer not pinned"

the ref count should not have been zero.

This patch fixes a problem in which a system using AdvFS can run out of metadata
space when the AdvFS domain still has some free space available.  The system 
will display error messages such as 'no space left on device'.

The problem may occur on a heavily fragmented system with many small files, such
as an Internet News server or Mail server.

To handle this problem, please use the -p and -x options when using the mkfdmn 
command to create an AdvFS domain that is expected to have many small files.  
Specifying the new -p option to the mkfdmn command pre-allocates internal AdvFS
structures and the erroneous 'out of space' messages will not occur.

NOTE:  Please run the mkfdmn command with no options or arguments to list
       the updated mkfdmn man page and the -p and -x option descriptions.

PROBLEM:  (HPXQ43C4D, TKTR52185, QAR 46016)   (ref info Patch ID: OSF375-037)
********
This patch fixes some hangs that may occur after the message "syncing disks..."
is printed when the system panics.

When these hangs occur, the completion of the "syncing disks..." message - the 
word "failed" or "done" does not get printed, and the system does not take a 
dump.

In addition to fixing these known hangs, a timout mechanism is added to the
"syncing disks" logic that will improve the reliability of getting a dump by
using the system clock to break out of the "syncing disks" path and take
a dump if no progress is being made on reducing the number of buffers to be
flushed.  The numbers printed periodically between the "syncing disks..."
and "done" messages are the number of buffers left to flush.

This patch also makes it more likely that AdvFS buffers will be flushed to
disk during the "syncing disks..." processing after a system panic.  There
is still no guarantee that writes in progress at the time of a panic will be
completed.

SUPERSEDES PATCHES:	OSF370-350056 (91.00)

This patch corrects the following:

- awk consumes memory until the machine swaps itself and core dumps with:
   write failed, file system is full  Memory fault - core dumped

- awk (nawk) doesn't always clear the previous value of the last field.
PROBLEM:	(HPAQ282B7)		(Patch ID: OSF370-350056)
********
The awk utility will sometimes produce output that indicates that field values
are not being cleared between record reads.  Specifically, the value
of the last field in a record gets left in when a new record is read in
which has a null last field.

To reproduce the problem, put the following lines into a file called,
"awktest.dat".
A~~~XYZ
~~~
x~x~x~X
1~~~
~~~

Then run the following command: awk -F~ '{print $4}' test.dat

The output should be:
XYZ

X


The output will be:
XYZ
XYZ
X
X
X

This patch updates the FDDI driver to include these fixes:

- Fixes a problem where after a hang the system crashes with the
  panic message: apecs_read_io_port. At that time, the only way
  to reboot the system is to switch it OFF then ON.

- Upgrade/Replacement for the "FTA" FDDI driver and fixes a DMA Error
  which can occur with the older driver.

- Major re-work of fta_reinitialize to fix stuck interface after halt. 

- Add code to display source and destination address on bad incoming packets 
  (CRC, Illegal length, etc.).

- Fixed the bumping of some DECnet counters so they could latch to their max 
  values.

********
Fixed a memory leak in 'mountd' which could cause 'mountd' to run out of
virtual memory and terminate without issuing any error messages.

'mountd' had a memory leak.  The 'mountd' process virtual memory usage would
continue to increase until 'mountd' was unable to obtain any more and then
it would terminate without issuing any error messages.

The memory leak occurred each time 'mountd' processed the /etc/exports file.
The larger the exports file, the more memory was lost each time it was
processed.

PROBLEM:        (HPXQ36487/QAR 45362)   (Patch ID: OSF370-350234)
********
'mountd' can die without logging the event in the daemon.log file and without 
generating a core file.  This can occur if the following conditions are true:

 o  The output from the "showmount -e host" command is greater than 4K
    bytes long.

 o  The "showmount -e host" command times out and issues the error:

        Can't do Exports rpc: RPC: Timed out

The 'showmount' command has a 25 second time out, plus the typical showmount 
request returns in less than a second.  This problem has so far only occurred 
when the NFS server is exporting a large number of file systems hosted by a 
3rd party product (where a large number was greater than 100 of the 3rd party 
product's entries).

Another way to cause this problem is if the 'showmount' command is aborted via 
Control-C before the NFS server can return the list of exported file systems.

Other systems, such as PCs requesting a list of exported file systems, could 
also cause this problem.

An application running System V using psuedoterminals may hang
if it opens the slave side before the master is open.

If the slave side of a System V master psuedoterminal is opened before it is
unlocked on the master side via unlockpt(), the calling process will block
forever on the open() even after the unlockpt() has been issued and the lock
flag lifted from the device.  Once the out of sequence race condition occurs,
the slave device cannot be opened again by any process until the original hung
process is terminated.

PROBLEM:	(TKTQ22519, UVO104025. QAR 45258)  (Patch ID: OSF370-350255)
********

Identifying limitations of original date command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The date command was not able to accurately set the date past the year 1999.  

For example:

Display current date:
$ date
Tue Jul 16 11:01:50 EDT 1996

Attempt to set the date to 12:55 PM, January 1, 2000
$ date 0101125500
Thu Feb  7 19:24:02 EST 2036


Enhancements to the date command for Year 2000 support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The date command has been enhanced to support setting the system date past the 
year 1999, providing customers with the ability to begin testing their software 
for potential century rollover problems.  The changes are outlined in the 
following sections.

Syntax

The following formats are valid for setting the system date using the date 
command.

o Using the XPG4-UNIX format:

  date mmddHHMM[yy]

o Using one of three Digital formats:

  date mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.ss]
  date [[cc]yy]mmddHHMM[.ss]
  date mmddHHMM[.ss[[cc]yy]]

The following definitions apply:

mm   is the month number
dd   is the number of the day in the month
HH   is the hour in the day
MM   is the number of minutes
ss   is the number of seconds
yy   is the last two digits of the year
cc   is the first two digits of the year

Note: that the LC_TIME variable, if it is defined, controls the
      ordering of the day (dd) and month (mm) numbers in these formats.  
      The default order is the month (mm) followed by the day (dd).

o Optional Century [cc] Input

Each of the Digital formats for the date command allow the optional input of 
the century (first two digits of the year).  This century field is optional to 
ensure that input formats previously accepted by the date command are still 
supported.

Currently, the XPG4-UNIX format mmddHHMM[yy] does not have a century field. 
This is consistent with current X/Open specifications regarding the date 
command. The century field will be added to this format in a future release of 
Digital UNIX once this new field is officially supported in future revisions 
of X/Open's UNIX specification.

o Handling of Two-Digit Year Input

When the year is specified by using two digits (as in the XPG4-UNIX format or 
when the [cc] field is omitted from the Digital formats), the century is 
determined in the following manner: if the specified two-digit year is between 
69 and 99 inclusive, the 20th century is assumed (that is, 19yy), otherwise the
21st century is assumed (that is, 20yy).

The algorithm above is consistent with current drafts of forthcoming X/Open 
UNIX specifications regarding two-digit year handling in various system 
interfaces and commands, including the date command.  This algorithm is based 
on the standard UNIX epoch (12:00:00 AM Jan 1, 1970 UTC), minus one year to 
account for different time zones.  Internal UNIX time handling is based on the 
number of seconds since this epoch.

o Handling of Ambiguous Input

If the input string is ambiguous, that is, if the format cannot be conclusively
determined from the data, the date command will issue a warning to STDERR and 
assume the mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.ss] format.  To avoid ambiguous input, use one of 
the three Digital formats and specify the [cc] field.

Examples

To set the date to 09:34:00 AM Jan 7, 2000:

Using the mmddHHMM[yy] XPG4-UNIX format:

# date 0107093400

Using the mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.ss] Digital format:

# date 010709342000
# date 0107093400.00
# date 010709342000.00

Using the [[cc]yy]mmddHHMM[.ss] Digital format:

# date 0001070934
# date 200001070934
# date 200001070934.00

Using the mmddHHMM[.ss[[cc]yy]] Digital format:

# date 01070934.0000
# date 01070934.002000

An example of ambiguous input:

# date 0101010000

This input could be recognized as one of the following formats:

mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.ss]   meaning 01:00:00 AM Jan 1, 2000
[[cc]yy]mmddHHMM[.ss]   meaning 12:00:00 AM Jan 1, 2001

In this case, the date command will display a warning and assume the 
mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.ss] format, setting the date to 01:00:00 AM Jan 1, 2000.

- Fixes a kernel memory fault panic.
PROBLEM:	(HGOQ80223 40742 42496 40255)	(Patch ID: OSF370-005)
********
A process can hang and a "kill -9" command will not kill it.  The ps command 
will show the status of the process as "U".  This is a rare problem that is due
to a file system timing problem which occurs during an internal sync and is 
difficult to reproduce.  Running dbx on the hung thread will show getnewvnode 
and ufs_fsync on the stack.

PROBLEM:    (QCABLR030 TKTB27949 35661) (Patch ID: OSF370-005,OSF370-021/022)
********
The system panics with "kernel memory fault".  The crash dump will show that
the fault came from malloc or spec_reclaim.

In the case of malloc, a message similar to the following will be printed:
trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode

    faulting virtual address:     0x0000000000453940
    pc of faulting instruction:   0xfffffc000042ee08
    ra contents at time of fault: 0xfffffc000042edec
    sp contents at time of fault: 0xffffffffd1ed28b8

The crucial data is the faulting address with 32 high bits of zero, and 32 low 
bits of non-zero.

The following is an example of a kernel memory fault panic coming from malloc:

>  0 boot() ["../../../../src/kernel/arch/alpha/machdep.c":1620 ]
   1 panic("kernel memory fault")
     ["../../../../src/kernel/bsd/subr_prf.c":752, ]

ld generated an assertion in get_ext_map().  This problem appears to be the 
result of other problems occuring in the linker prior to the compact relocation 
code.  The linker is generating a relocatable image (preserving and updating 
relocation records), yet it has not set "relocatable=1" internally.  Thus, we 
attempt to generate compact relocation and also preserve regular relocations.  
This causes the problem in the compact code.

The solution was not to adjust relocation record that are relative to undefined
symbols unless we are creating a relocatable image. The compactcode expect
unadjusted relocation records

********
ld causes an initialization order problem for DEC C++ programs linked 
-non_shared.  Unlike with -call_shared programs, ld calls __init...  routines 
in the order that they are found on the ld command line.

DEC C++ constructs static objects by generating __init routines.  The generated
__init routines in the user's code can legally reference static objects [which
have __init routines] in the C++ class library (libcxx.a).  Unfortunately,
since user's .o files appear on the command line before libcxx.a, the user's
__init routines are invoked before the class library __init routines.  Thus
the user's __init routine will reference the class library before the latter ha
been initialized.

To get around this problem, DEC C++ declares a static object in each class
library header file.  The static object's constructor calls a routine that
initializes the class library.  Unfortunately, doing this requires that a call
to the initialization routine be made by every module that includes the header
file.  For large programs, this can result in thousands of unnecessary calls an
significant performance degradation at image startup.

the order of the link options.  This doesn't seem to effect the operation of

A shared library built with -check_registry so_locations may dump core 
accessing .rdata symbols.  If the shared library grows too big for it's text 
to fit in the slot allocated for it in an so_locations file, ld will move the 
text of the library to the next available text slot.  It then corrects all the 
text symbol addresses by adding the difference of the reserved text slot and 
the newly allocated text slot.  The difference is also added to .rdata symbols,
but .rdata symbols are in data not text, so the resulting addresses are invalid.

When running a link involving a large number of input objects on a small
memory system, the usability of the system may be impacted by the link
operation.

This patch makes available the "-nommap" switch to reduce the amount of
page faults incurred by ld.  The -nommap switch may be used on the cc
command line, an ld command line or placed in /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/comp.config.
Placing it in comp.config, of course, causes the option to be used on all
link operations performed on a system.

********
A call-shared application which overloads a shared library procedure with an 
additional implementation of the procedure in the main executable can 
"Segmentation fault". The problem may be sensitive to link order. Linking 
non-shared should cause the problem to go away. One may be able to determine 
that the gp register is incorrectly set.

This problem results from the linker incorrectly determining that the gp 
prologue can be "optimized away". You can not work around this problem by 
linking debug.

The patched linker correctly determines when this optimization can be applied. 
If an application does have this problem, you must install this patch and 
re-link to correct the problem. 

This problem has proven to be extremely rare.

Hidden/Export Symbol wildcard problem:

A regression was introduced into the linker when -hidden symbol
processing was scaled up to use a hash table.  The wildcard capability
with the "exported_symbol" option was completely lost.  This fix
makes wildcards functional for hidden/export symbols.

An example of wildcard usage that was no longer functional is:

  ld -o libf.so -shared -all -hidden  -exported_symbol 'X500*'  file.o -lc

Any symbol beginning with X500 should be "GLOBAL" not "LOCAL".
To check if a symbol is global use the following odump command
on the library that is produced by  the linker:

  odump -Dt libf.so

Shows the symbol being GLOBAL or LOCAL

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes a problem where printing of a string with a specified precision
  could result in a segmentation fault.

- Fixes a TCP/IP problem that can occur with programs linked with
  the libc library. These programs may return a value of (-1)
  when calling the svc_tcp() function.

- A potential security vulnerability has been discovered in bind, where
  under certain circumstances users may gain unauthorized access.  
  Digital has corrected this potential vulnerability.

- /sbin/shutdown takes too long if there are many open LAT lines.

- A potential security vulnerability has been discovered, where under
  certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised. This may
  be in the form of improper file or privilege management. Digital has
  corrected this potential vulnerability.

- A problem that occurs after a user logs into a system with an SRV4-style LAT 
  device. When the ttyslot function is called, the system fails to find the 
  device and returns a value of zero, indicating an error in the ttyslot 
  function.

- Ensures that setlocale() does not call free() with a null pointer, which may 
  crash an application that uses a third-party malloc package.

- In some cases, sendmail generates a core dump when it receives an illegal
  command, after installing patch OSF370-350128. 

- A problem in the filename pattern-matching behavior of the find command when 
  it includes the "?" metacharacter. The bug actually resides in fnmatch(), 
  which is used by find.

- Back out sprintf "%s" performance changes to fix "%*.*f" bug. 

- Multi-threaded applications run on Digital UNIX V3.2[ABC] which use any of 
  the get*_r() functions may dump core or produce incorrect results.

- A potential security vulnerability has been discovered, where under certain 
  circumstances users may gain unauthorized access.  Digital has corrected this
  potential vulnerability.

- strncat() reads past end of source array

- Fixes multiple processes from adding duplicate ut_id lines in the utmp file
  with duplicate ut-id keys.

- Several errors in the syslog entry written by the su program.

- Fixes a problem with taso applications that set the malloc(3) __sbrk_override 
  and __taso_mode tuning parameters to true.  Under these circumstances, 
  malloc(3) can return ENOMEM before all of the taso address space is allocated.

- Fixes a memory leak problem associated with the strxfrm() and wcsxfrm() 
  functions and some incorrect behavior in __do_replacement(), which is used 
  by both strxfrm() and strcoll().

sprintf() can add one extra uninitialized character after "%*.*f" 
format strings if the precision is zero.  

One can work around this problem by initializing the sprintf() "buffer" 
with the NULL (\0) character before calling sprintf().

This patch fixes a problem with taso applications that set 
the malloc(3) __sbrk_override and __taso_mode tuning parameters 
to true.  Under these circumstances, malloc(3) can return ENOMEM
before all of the taso address space is allocated.

A brief description of the taso feature can be found in the cc(3) reference 
page where the -taso switch is documented.  The malloc(3) tuning parameters 
are documented on the malloc(3) reference page.


PROBLEM:	(CLD MGO102122, QAR 45686)	(Patch ID: OSF370-350217)
********
This patch fixes a memory leak problem that occurs when strxfrm() 
or wcsxfrm() executes in a locale that allows one character to 
substitute for another during collation. 

An example is the de_DE.ISO8859-1 locale, in which "ss" is equivalent to 
and may be substituted for the German sharp s. In such a locale, 
each invocation of strxfrm() or wcsfrm() causes some amount of heap memory 
to be leaked.  When you apply this patch, the memory leak no longer occurs.


PROBLEM:	(QAR 38929)			(Patch ID: OSF370-350217)
********
This patch also fixes some incorrect behavior in the __do_replacement() 
function, which is used by both strxfrm() and strcoll(). Before the fix, 
 __do_replacement() might use the same string pointer for the source 
and destination strings in the strcpy() function.  Results were unpredictable. 
In addition, __do_replacement() did not test the output buffer size to
determine if the resulting string would indeed fit in the output buffer. 


PROBLEM:	(QAR 45694)			(Patch ID: OSF370-350222)
********
This patch fixes a problem in the fnmatch() routine's single-byte 
and multibyte versions, which incorrectly match '?' to a null character.  
As a result, a filename pattern like "???" could match not only a filename 
containing "aaa", but also one containing "a" or "aa".  Because the find 
command uses fnmatch() for filename pattern matching, there is a chance that
data files may be removed unintentionally.  An example is as follows:

 % find . -name 'data???' -exec rm {} \;

This command could inadvertently remove files named "data1", "data10",  
and so forth.

NOTE: The problem fixed by this patch occurs only when you use locales 
      other than the default C locale.


PROBLEM:	(HPAQ46E01)		(Patch ID: OSF370-350236)

sendmail would generate a core dump with a segmentation fault.

The stripped sendmail does not contain a symbol table so the core dump is
hard to interpret.  To determine whether this problem exists on your system,
run the following test:

(1) On the system being tested, telnet to port 25.

(2) Enter illegal commands and check whether sendmail generates a core dump.


PROBLEM:	(QAR 46198) 		(Patch ID: OSF370-350253)
********
The setlocale() function included in Digital UNIX releases earlier
than Version 4.0 may sometimes pass a null pointer to the free() function.

This is not harmful if site applications use the memory allocation package
 (malloc() and free() functions) bundled in the Digital UNIX C Library.
However, if site applications use a locally developed memory allocation
package or one included as part of a layered product, passing a null pointer
to free() may cause the applications to fail.

To avoid this problem, this patch installs a version of setlocale()
that checks a pointer for null before passing the pointer to free().


PROBLEM:	(BRO100738)		 (Patch ID: OSF370-350279)
********
When testing applications on a BSD-style device such as /dev/tty0h, the
ttyslot function returns a number matching the index into the /var/adm/utmp
file.  However, when running the same program on an SVR4-style device such
as /dev/lat/622, the ttyslot function always returns zero.  The problem can
be indentified easily by running the sample test program included here.

Copy the following program to ttyslot_test.c:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

main()
{
        printf("ttyslot() = %d\n", ttyslot());
        exit(1);
}

Error messages may vary, depending on which applications are being run.
When connected to a system over an SVR4-style LAT device the application
calls the ttyslot function to locate the entry in the /var/adm/utmp file.
The ttyslot function returns zero in error because it fails to match the
control terminal.  When you connect to a system over a LAT device and make
a ttyslot function call to locate the entry in the /var/adm/utmp file for
the control terminal of the current process, ttyslot() returns zero in
error because it fails to match the control terminal.

This patch fixes a TCP/IP problem that can occur with programs linked
with the libc library.  These programs may return a value of (-1)

this return before continuing a readtcp() and writetcp().

This patch corrects the following:

- Fixes a system crash when setting the date on SMP systems.

- Fixes a system panic with the following panic string:

    "event_timeout: panic request"

- Fixes an I/O queue corruption problem that occurs during
   normal shut down of SMP systems with AdvFS.

- Fixes a problem that occurs when starting up a system
  that is running the auditing subsystem and the performance manager.
  The system panics with the error message:   kernel memory fault

- Provides general support for Version A11 KZPSA firmware.

- Fixes a problem that causes systems to panic with a "kernel memory fault"
  from u_dev_lockop().  This has happened when a database tried to memory map
  a file.

- After a disk error occurs, mirror set switching may not happen soon enough
  to ensure high availability, or in some cases may not happen at all.

- Fixes panics that may occur on SMP systems. The following error message
  is displayed on the system:

     "simple_lock: time limit exceeded"

- Non-retryable errors from an HSZ40 are not being logged in
  the system error log file.

- Provides the following additional event logging by the SCSI/CAM disk driver:
   Additional Unit Attention messages, additional details for hard errors
   logged after unsuccessful I/O recovery attempts, and provides informational
   messages on the progress of recovery events.

- Fixes various system problems:
   o System panic with: "xpt_callback: callback on freed CCB"
   o System panic with kernel memory fault while trying to remove
     an spo resource queue entry
   o Logging following group of 3 errors every few minutes:
     spo_verify_adap_sanity, spo_misc_errors, spo_bus_reset
     when the system was under heavy load.
   o system then panicked with "simple_lock: time limit exceeded"
     after FS quiesced the bus on the HSZ40, powered off and disconnect
     tape drive for maintenance.
   o Infrequently, under heavy disk I/O loads, user data can be written to
     the wrong disk, resulting in data corruption.

- A data corruption error which can occur on KZTSA SCSI adapters. This can
  result in data corruption on any tape drive connected to the KZTSA when large
  block (1 Meg or greater) transfers are performed.  This data corruption has
  only been reported on odd block transfers.

- Fixes a problem where a system panics with the following error message:
        "simple lock: time limit exceeded".
  This situation may occur during the creation of an Oracle database.

- When HSZ50 hardware is installed, the system exhibits very slow performance.

- Probe of isp fails intermittently during boot.

- A number of problems have been fixed in the ISP driver. These include:
  "minimum spl violation" panics with lockmode=4, simple lock time limit
  exceeded panics, "CAM_ERROR entry too large" messages, and "Unable to
  restart Qlogic(LUN queue after abort)" panics.

- A system can hang in "ss_process_timeouts", after binary.errlog entries:

         sim_err_sm    Target went to command phase
         sim94_intr    Illegal command

  panic: "xpt_callback: callback on freed CCB"

- Eliminates panics that will occur when attempting to execute
  shell scripts on a filesystem mounted with the "noexec" option.

- Fixes the corruption of core files produced by applications
  with 15 or more threads.

- Fixes two system panics - no special situation that will cause these panics;
    o Fixes a panic that prints "kernel memory fault".
    o Fixes a panic that prints "pmap_dup: level3 PTE not valid".
    o Fixes a panic that prints "delete_pv_entry: mapping not in pv_list".

- Fixes a problem with the exec() system function where a shell script
  that has "#! " as the first line of the script,
  invokes the program but does not set the effective user id for
  the execution of the program.

- Fixes a problem that occurs on AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 systems
  when a processor fails to restart after a user halts the system
  by entering "Control-P Control-P" and then typing "continue" on the console.

- Fixes a number of problems relating to signals and POSIX 1003.1b timers in
  multithreaded programs running on multiprocessor systems.  These problems
  can result in missed timer-expiration signals and system crashes.

- Ladebug sessions may hang when debugging multithreaded applications.

- Fixes system crash when setting the date for SMP systems.

- Fixes a problem in which processes can hang waiting for a system call to
  table() to complete.

- The system panics with "ipc_thread_init: reply port allocate" after an
  unsuccessful port allocation request.

- Kernel panics with "zombie walks again" message.

- A problem in which the the lastcomm accounting command doesn't print the "S"
  flag at appropriate times.  This patch also improves the performance of
  lastcomm.

- Enables the latest Informix KAIO functionality. The patch should be installed
  by Informix customers using the Informix 7.20.UC4 release.  The Informix
  defect number 40041 regarding KAIO is fully addressed by this patch.

- Fixes some hangs that can occur during the "syncing disks..." portion of
  panic processing, improves the reliability of getting a dump after a system
  panic, and also makes it more likely that AdvFS buffers will be synced to
  disk after a system panic.

- Corrects a bug in kern_proc.c which allows a reference to a freed process 
  group structure.  The reference corrupts malloc's kmembuckets[3] linked list 
  pointer, which causes a kernel memory fault panic during a subsequent, 
  unrelated, call to malloc().

- A system can crash with: panic: "pmap_remove_range: page wired"
  if certain kernel functions try to malloc more memory pages than allowed
  by the vm configuration parameter vm-vpagemax, which by default is set
  to 16384.

- A problem in which AlphaStation 500 and AlphaStation 600 5/266 systems may 
  panic on boot with the message: ` kmeminit1: not enough pages on free list.

- Fixes Ladebug process hangs when debugging user code.

- A system will crash with " u_shm_oop_deallocate: reference count mismatch."

- Multi-processor systems using the AdvFS file system, particularly systems
  also using AdvFS for the root and usr file systems, may experience
  intermittent freezing of interactive processes when the system has a
  moderate to heavy I/O load. The freezing of interactive processes may last
  from a few seconds to many minutes but will eventually return to normal.
  This problem may also occur on multi-processor systems using the NFS client
  or graphics sub-systems.

- This patch is an upgrade/replacement for the FAA FDDI driver and fixes a
  halt/restart problem found in the old driver.  The old driver could panic
  a system with a "simple_lock_fault violation" during a re-initialization.

- If a user binds a process to a processor and then halts that processor,
  the system may panic with a "simple lock owned" panic.

- Fix to allow clock to advance properly (wrap to next year) at end of year
  when system is powered down and to prevent clock from losing a day on each
  reboot during March of a leap year.

- The system may experience a data corruption problem.  This has been noted
  as causing a data corruption in the oracle system table, but the corruption
  need not be limited to oracle and could show up anywhere.

- A problem where a system may experience a panic with the panic string
  "pmap_remove_lev2: lev3 pte not valid", or the system may experience
  a data corruption problem.

- Fix "panic: `lock_write: interrupt level call`" in process group processing.

- Fix memory and process state output from /proc PIOCPSINFO ioctl and SVE ps
  command.

- Fixes "panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault" from procfs_readdir()/uiomove()
  or procfs_lookup().

- Fortran programs using automatic arrays, C programs using alloca() functions,
  and other programs that allocate memory from the user's stack space, can
  experience segmentation violation errors.

- System crashes with "kernel memory fault" when accessing proc file system.

- User programs can end with a segmentation violation error when trying to
  allocate memory that grows in a downward direction.

- This patch fixes the panic "thread_depress_wait" on multi-processor machines
  running multi-threaded applications.

- Corrects an SMP/realtime-preemption race condition in the signal code that
  can allow a process stopped in sigsuspend to miss a signal wakeup and
  remaining block indefinitely.

- Fixes a kernel crash that occurs when an asychronous I/O (aio) application
  calls the aio_suspend() function specifying the same aio control block
  multiple times.
PROBLEM:        (QAR 42141) 		(Patch ID: OSF370-360010)
********
An aio application that calls aio_suspend() with a list of control blocks 
containing a duplicate address can  crash  the system if the duplicate aio 
request has not completed at the time of the call.  The stack trace of the 
crashing thread will have at least the following frames:

        0 panic()
        1 trap()
        2 _XentMM()
        3 aio_remove_tests()
        4 aio_wait()
        5 syscall()
        6 _Xsyscall()


PROBLEM:       			 	(Patch ID: OSF370-360011)
********
A scan of an SMP/realtime system's processes with the ps command locates a 
process that is stopped with a "pause" WCHAN with an unblocked signal pending.
This process is blocked in the sigsuspend syscall and has missed being awakened 
by the pending signal. The ps output for this process might look like this:

# ps -O sig,sigmask,sigcatch,wchan -p 1500
  PID    PENDING    BLOCKED    CAUGHT    WCHAN
 1500          1          0         1    pause

This output shows that process 1500 is blocked in sigsuspend() trying to catch 
signal 1 (SIGHUP). The signal is unblocked *and* pending.  This is an incorrect 
state when it persists indefinitely. Sending this process a SIGHUP signal from 
a terminal will clear the blocked state temporarily, but the problem is likely 
to recur.

This problem results in a kernel memory fault generating a message such as:

	trap: invalid memory read access from kernel mode

	panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault

where the pc is in uiomove(), and the faulting virtual address would be the 
beginning of an unmapped page.  Because of the incorrect source address 
calculation, uimove() will typically go well beyond the internal buffer into 
unmapped territory.

PROBLEM:	(QAR 42447)		(Patch ID: OSF370-360023)

The /proc PIOCPSINFO ioctl returns incorrect data for the pr_state, pr_size, 
and pr_rssize fields of struct prpsinfo. The state field may show the process 
running (R) when it is in fact sleeping (S).  The rss field will consistently 
show 0; and the size field will usually significantly underreport the virtual 
address size of the process. These symptoms may be observed directly through 
the use of the PSINFO ioctl, or indirectly through the use of the ps command 
from the System V Environment (SVE) layered product.  The problem can also 
cause the SVE gcore command to fail.

order to lock their text and/or data segments in memory.  When such a process 
attaches itself to a shared memory segment, the "shmat" system call allocates 
the required physical pages and "locks" them in memory.  There may be a 
resource shortage in this situation if (e.g.) there aren't enough free pages 
available.


PROBLEM:	(HPAQ68777)		(Patch ID: OSF370-360057)

A system can crash with:

    panic: "pmap_remove_range: page wired"

if certain kernel functions try to malloc more memory pages
than allowed by the vm configuration parameter vm-vpagemax,
which by default is set to 16384.

While this parameter could be set higher as a temporary workaround, 
the proper fix is to install this patch.

A typical stack trace is:

********
This patch fixes some hangs that may occur after the message "syncing disks..."
is printed when the system panics.

When these hangs occur, the completion of the "syncing disks..." message -
the word "failed" or "done" does not get printed, and the system does not
take a dump.

In addition to fixing these known hangs, a timout mechanism is added to the
"syncing disks" logic that will improve the reliability of getting a dump by
using the system clock to break out of the "syncing disks" path and take
a dump if no progress is being made on reducing the number of buffers to be
flushed.  The numbers printed periodically between the "syncing disks..."
and "done" messages are the number of buffers left to flush.

This patch also makes it more likely that AdvFS buffers will be flushed to
disk during the "syncing disks..." processing after a system panic.  There
is still no guarantee that writes in progress at the time of a panic will be
completed.

********            (Patch ID:  OSF370-360076-1)

This patch fixes a problem in which the the lastcomm accounting command doesn't
print the "S" flag at appropriate times.  This patch also improves the 
performance of lastcomm.

The problem was that the kernel did not properly update the accounting field 
that prints the "S" flag. The "S" flag should be printed for each command that 
is run with an effective user id of 0. Commands that are set-user-id to root, 
will print the "S" flag. Also, commands that are executed by root, but are not
set-user-id, will print the "S" flag. Therefore, when "S" is printed from 
lastcomm for a certain command, it means that the user had root privileges at 
some time during the execution of the command.

The algorithm used by lastcomm has been enhanced to improve its performance.

  14 idle_thread() ["../../../../src/kernel/kern/sched_prim.c":2811]

Note that the important part of the trace is from frames 0 through 8; 
the caller of malloc() is not relevant, and is unrelated to the problem.

This specific bug can be verified by adding the KSEG base address of 
0xfffffc0000000000 to the faulting virtual address taken from the error message 
above, and determining what the resulting address represents:

(dbx) (0xfffffc0000000000 + 0x0000000000436244)/i
  [pgrp_ref:584, 0xfffffc0000436244]    bsr     r26, simple_unlock(line 273)
(dbx)

If the result is in pgrp_ref() like above, then this fix is the solution.

Another relevant symptom is that the kmembucket chain containing freed process 
group structures is corrupted by the faulting virtual address; This can be 
verified by noting that the "kb_next" field in kmembuckets[3] contains the 
same faulting address:

(dbx) p kmembuckets[3]
struct {
    kb_lock = struct {
        sl_data = 0x431129
        sl_info = 0x0
        sl_cpuid = 0x0
        sl_lifms = 0x0
    }
    kb_next = 0x436244
    kb_size = 0x80
    kb_free = 0x444
    kb_total = 0x1240
    kb_elmpercl = 0x40
    kb_highwat = 0x800
}

There is no known manner of reproducing the problem; however, on systems 
where it happens, it is a fairly regular occurance.

When debugging multithreaded applications with Ladebug, debugging sessions
may hang due to a bug in procfs (i.e., /proc filesystem).

A simple way to reproduce the problem is to set a breakpoint in separate
threads, run the application, change the thread focus to a thread other than
the one which took the breakpoint, and to single-step.  Under these
circumstances, the debugger does not return to the debugger prompt
and the debugging session effectively hangs.  At this point, ps output
simply indicates that the debugger and the debuggee are sleeping interruptibly.
However, when a SIGKILL is sent to the debuggee, the affected threads o
in the debugged process enter an uninterruptible sleep ('U' state in
the ps listing).  The traced process is now unkillable.

This patch fixes a problem that occurs on AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 systems
when a processor fails to restart after a user halts the system by entering
"Control-P Control-P" and then typing "continue" on the console.

This patch requires running firmware version 4.8-6 or later.

This patch also fixes a problem where the pset_info and psradm commands
fail to correctly report that a CPU is shut down.

********
This patch fixes a number of problems relating to signals and
POSIX 1003.1b timers in multithreaded programs running on multiprocessor
systems.  These problems can result in missed timer-expiration signals
and system crashes.  These issues involve synchronizing timer creation,
timer deletion, and timer reset within multithreaded programs.

Two distinct crashes are typical of the problems.

Here's a sample of the first crash, a signal panic:

        panic (cpu 0): psig: catch not set

With the following stack trace:

        > 0 boot
          1 panic
          2 psig
          3 syscall
          4 _Xsyscall

A sample of the second crash is shown in the following example:

    from vmcore.3 :
    .
    .
    .
    simple_lock: time limit exceeded
    .
    .
    .

    .
    .
    .

This is a mandatory patch for SMP systems.

This patch fixes panics that may occur on SMP systems.

The panics occur when one processor is exiting and the other processor
is trying to perform a pmap_tbsync.

The following error message is displayed on the systems:

        "simple_lock: time limit exceeded"

A sample stack trace for the cpu panicking with
"simple_lock: time limit exceeded" is as follows:

   panic("simple_lock: time limit exceeded")

After a disk error occurs, mirror set switching may not happen soon enough
to ensure high availability, or in some cases may not happen at all.

The problem is that the timeout and retry mechanisms that go into action
after a disk failure prevent prompt notification of LSM that there was an error.
