This patch corrects the following:
Users appear to be logged in when they are not because CDE
dtterm sometimes doesn't reset the utmp entry on exit.
When running the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), a dtterm
window in which vi is being used can hang when doing a cut and paste operation
from a second window.
Provides the ability to let dtterm display all the characters
in the PC PC codeset IBM-850.
Fixes a problem in which the dtterm Terminal Emulator fails

(614.01)
This patch corrects the following:
Fixes memory leaks with the FDDI and Token Ring method routines
used with Extensible SNMP subagent (ESNMP).
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.
This patch removes support for atTable, so that common applications
(like NetView autodiscovery) will use the ipNetToMediaTable instead.
Fixes the os_mibs source file, hrm_fs.c, which makes a call
to the statfs function with 2 arguments, when statfs expects 3 arguments.
Fxes the problem where a malformed trap message sent at boot-time
by the DIGITAL UNIX SNMP daemon to a Windows NT Network Management Station
(NMS) could cause the NMS application or the NT operating system to crash.

Fixes a problem in the streams code which could have resulted
in data corruption.
Fixes a problem where the linker might crash when printing
out lengthy error diagnostics.
Fix for a linker problem that could cause incorrect symbol
resolution in call_shared applications.
The result is the application
may use a shared library's version of a symbol rather than a symbol with
the same name defined in the application.

A system running four DE425 adapters off an EISA bus may hang.
If a device's EISA configuration file contains a function
DISABLE keyword and the DISABLE option is selected, the device's driver
may not be configured and probed at bus configuration time.
Fixes a problem in which EISA/ISA buses do not correctly match
functions for loadable drivers.
EISA configuration code returns a non-null Function_Name field
for the token ring card.
This field is ignored if the driver is configured
statically.
However, when configured dynamically, scan_eisa_slot attempts
to exactly match whatever is specified in the sysconfigtab entry with what
is returned by the token ring card.

-c -compress -fast.
Implements a new cc switch to allow the passing of the ld
"-input file" switch to the linker via cc, without changing its relative
position in the ld command line.
The current method for doing this (-Wl,-input,filename)
changes the order in which such a file is presented to the linker, and
can result in an invalid transfer address in an executable, resulting in
a segmentation fault.
Fixes a problem in cc that causes it to set the incorrect
optimization level when the user specifies the "-O -migrate" options.

This patch corrects the following:
Fixes problems in the error paths of the ATM subsystem.
A
majority of these result in system crashes.
These crashes are most prevalent
when stressing LAN Emulation (LANE).
Fixes two panics in the lta driver, ATM LANE interoperability
problems with IBM switches, and slow recovery of UNI 3.0 signalling from
network interruptions.
When tcpdump is run with ATM LAN emulation, a kernel memory
fault occurs.
Fixes a problem with the ATMworks 351 (Meteor) loadable driver.
Fixes a problem when ATM ELANs are configured and an ATM switch
reboots.
This can cause a temporary connectivity problem.
Hosts on Ethernet
segments may not be able communicate with the DIGITAL UNIX ATM ELAN hosts
until the expiration of router ARP timers.
Fixes a problem that occurs on a system running ATM.
The system
panics with a "kernel memory fault" due to a simple lock time violation.
Prior to the crash, the pvc flag is observed as stale on a permanent
virtual circuit.
The crash occurs after the pvc is deleted with the following
command:
# atmconfig -pvc .....
|
Patch 978.00
continued
|
Fixes two kernel memory faults and a system startup crash
caused by the ATM convergence subsystem.
Fixes the conformance problem with the DIGITAL UNIX LAN Emulation.
The DIGITAL UNIX LAN Emulation client now complies with the LANE V1 spec
when locating the LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS).
The client
now asks the switch via ILMI for the ATM address of the LECS.
ATM will fail to connect on incoming calls that are UNI version
3.1.
In some cases incorrect data for the Elan name was being used.
This
would cause D/UNIX to try to join an invalid Elan.
This fix allows the
"elan_name" option to be set with the "les" option.
Fixes two problems in ATM.
A Virtual Circuit may hang when
running Classical IP under a very heavy load, and the kernel malloc pool
could be corrupted, causing kernel memory faults.
Fixes a problem in which an ATM CLIP connection does not send
data.
Fixes an interoperability problem with CISCO CLIP clients.
Fixs an ATM Lane problem where the arp table grows significantly.
Fixes a problem in which systems that use the DIGITAL UNIX
ATM LANE interface may panic with the following message.
kernel memory fault
Fixes a problem in which systems that use the Compaq Tru64
UNIX ATM CLIP interface may run out of memory.

This
patch corrects the following:
Fixes the problem of t_optmgmt() T_NEGOTIATE calls returning
T_SUCCESS, but not actually negotiating the socket options.
This behavior
is a UNIX95 specification standard compliance bug.
Fixes a problem that manifests itself by the system hanging
or becoming inoperable when a number of XTI connections reaches 500.
This patch resolves a hang in the xticlose() routine and a
kernel memory fault in the xti_discon_req() routine.
Corrects a problem with the xti/streams interface module which
could result in a kernel memory fault panic during use by xti application
programs.
Fixes a mutex lock problem in TLI.
The problem causes multithreaded
TLI applications to block forever.
Fixes a problem with the implementation of the TPI interface.
This problem occurs if you are using DIGITAL's XTI libxti library with
a third-party (non-DIGITAL) STREAMS driver.
Fixes a problem that occurs on a system when running STREAMS.
The system panics with the following error message:
"kernel memory fault"
Fixes libtli/libxti to correctly handle a continuation data
message still on the stream head.
Fixes a problem in which the xti_discon_ind() function allocates
a data buffer for zero-length data.
Fixes a problem with XTI over TCP/IP when tcp_sendspace and
tcp_recvspace have been decreased to 1k.
When sending 4k data (using t_snd),
the call is successfull but no data has been sent and no message is returned.
Fixes a streams problem in libxti.
The t_getprotaddr() function
will cause a memory core dump if either of its second or third argument is
NULL.
Fixes a problem in which an application using the X/Open Transport
Interface (XTI) and the DECnet/OSI transport provider is unable to disconnect
a rejected request.

This patch corrects the following:
An upgrade/replacement for the OTTO/OPPO ATM driver and fixes
a number flow control and signalling problems.
If you are seeing "No Buffer
Space" messages, experiencing pauses or hangs when receiving data on
signalling/ilmi pvc's, or have any problems with FLOWMASTER flow control
with CLIP or LANE over ATM, you should install this patch.
Contains performance enhancements to the ATM OTTO driver when
greater than 300 VCs are configured.
This replacement driver uses hash
buckets to improve search time in the VC data structures resulting in significant
performance gains.
On reboot, a panic could be encountered before getting into
single user mode.
The panic would occur inside the ltaintr routine and this
routine would be noted in the dump stack trace.
This problem was seen on
Personal Workstation 500ua (MIATA) and the ATM 350 card.
The second problem is a panic: thread_block: interrupt level call
when rt_preempt_opt (REALTIME preemption) is enabled.
A typical stack trace
would look like this for the top of the stack:
panic
thread_block()
thread_preempt()
panic
thread_block()
unix_release_force()
unix_release()
schedtransmit()
softclock_scan()
or this:
panic
thread_block()
thread_preempt()
panic
thread_block()
unix_release_force()
unix_release()
ottooutput()
atm_cmm_send()
An upgrade enhancement to the ATM350 driver.
This patch prevents
panics in driver routines that can be called from different interrupt levels.
Fixes a panic from the ATM OTTO/OPPO driver.
Corrects a problem in the ATM driver which could result in
data inconsistency and system panic.

DIGITAL UNIX 4.0B Patch
Kit 1 causes a problem with the System V Environment (SVE) /usr/opt/svr4/usr/bin/passwd
command.
If an invalid password is entered, subsequent invocations of the
passwd command, /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts command, or the account management
commands fail with the following error:
The password and group files are currently locked by another user.
Fixes for miscellaneous problems with the account management
commands, specifically the Account Manager graphical user interface (/usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts)
and the command line interface (useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc).
Fixes a problem that causes the account management commands
(dxaccounts, useradd, and usermod) to split long NIS group lines incorrectly.
This causes a majority of users to have improper access to files, directories,
and applications and also causes the newgrp command to fail.
When Enhanced Security is enabled, the useradd and usermod
commands incorrectly set the password expired and password lifetime attributes
to 0 when not specified on the Command line.
The administrative_lock_applied command line option for useradd
and usermod does not correctly lock and unlock an account.
When Enhanced Security is enabled, userdel command incorrectly
removes an account from /etc/passwd.
When issuing a useradd -D or usermod -D command to view the
account manager defaults, the Inactive (days) value would always show the
character "s" rather than nothing when the Inactive days status
has been defeated with a -1 value.
Fixes the following problems encountered when using the Account
Manager application (dxaccounts):
When modifying an existing NIS "+" or NIS "-" user account
by turning off the NIS Overrides toggle, the User ID field is incorrectly
set to 0.
While adding a NIS "+" or NIS "-" user, dxaccounts requires
a password to be set.
Fixes a problem where Dxaccounts allows the ":"
character to be accepted in the user shell, home directory, fullname, office,
office phone, and home phone fields.
This caused the /etc/passwd file to
become corrupted.
Fixes the problem where usermod -g will lock the user account
if it is unlocked.

Patch 1029.00

Fixes a problem where the account manager graphical interface
(dxaccounts) will core dump on systems running enhanced security when performing
a "Find Local User..." or "Find NIS User..." operation in which "Secondary
Groups" is the only search criteria that has been specified.
Fixes a problem using templates for pre-expired passwords.
When the administrator creates a template and within the template chooses
force password change at the next login, the user is NOT being asked to
change his password as he should.
Fixes a problem where a large number of shells in /etc/shells
(greater than 10) can cause dxaccounts to coredump or have unpredictable
behavior.

This patch corrects the following:
Fixes a problem in which multithreaded applications that reference
a pthread_mutex_destroy routine may fail with EBUSY or the application
may hang.
Fixes a problem with the DECthreads "legacy" library.
Specifically,
this patch addresses the potential hang of programs that use the Draft
4 interface for pthread_once().
Fixes a problem whereby mkpasswd fails for /etc/passwd files
that are very large (containing roughly 30 thousand to 80 thousand entries).
Fixes problems in threaded applications with incorrect signal
behavior and thread creation failures using user allocated stacks.
Fixes threaded applications seeing a deadlock with fork(),
premature stack overflows, corrupted mutexes, and orphaned condition variable
or mutex blocking structures.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes problems in threaded programs related to DECthreads
bugchecks, fork(), stack corruptions, and exception handling problems.
This patch may also fix problems with non-threaded programs relating exception
handling.
Fixes problems that might cause threaded programs running
under DIGITAL UNIX V4.0 to hang.
Specifically, this patch addresses situations
related to DECthread bugcheck, pthread_once() or cma_once(), and unhandled
exceptions.
A potential security vulnerability has been discovered in
BIND, where under certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised.
This may be in the form of improper file or privilege management.
Compaq
has corrected this potential vulnerability.
Fixes a problem in which mallopt(M_MXFAST), instead of making
malloc() faster, makes it as much as 65 times slower.
Fixes a problem where a call to popen() hangs after a bad
call to pclose() in a threaded program.
Fixes a problem that may cause older call_shared FORTRAN applications
to find missing symbols in libc.so.
Fixes a deadlock problem that may occur with multithreaded
applications calling any of the functions for getting system database information
(gethostent, getservent, etc.) and which also call fork.
The deadlock may
occur when such applications are run on systems configured to use YP services.
Fixes 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.
Fixes a problem that prevents gethostent() from returning
all YP or bind served entries.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes a problem in which the interaction of signals with setjmp/longjmp
called repeatedly in a loop was causing a segmentation violation and core
dump in a customer's application.
Fixes problems with redundant close operations on file descriptors
by Network Information Services (NIS) and Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) in
multithreaded applications.
Fixes a problem in which the rcmd function may cause the system
to dump core.
Fixes the following two problems that occur in the DECthreads
core library:
The process blocked signal mask, as set by sigprocmask(),
is cleared in the child process following a fork().
Under certain load conditions, a DECthreads bugcheck occurs
in pthread_kill().
This results in a core dump.
Allows customers to create hashed passwd databases from large
passwd files by using a new option (-s) to the mkpasswd command.
The -s
option increases the block size of the database page file.
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.
Fixes a deadlock issue between fork() processing and exception
handling on DIGITAL UNIX 4.0.
An exception occuring during a fork() operation
would cause the child and parent processes to hang with no cpu activity.
The mkpasswd command dumps core when user just types 'mkpasswd
-s' with no other arguments.
It also wasn't using the page block size of
an existing database if the -s option was not specified.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes two problems in the DECthreads library:
On multiprocessor platforms, condition variable broadcasts
were occasionally being lost.
Stack unwinding during exception processing was losing contexts,
resulting in incorrect stack traces.
Corrects a problem related to the statically initialized mutexes
in DECthreads library (libpthread.so)
Fixes a problem whereby a call to the libc dbm_open() routine
followed immediately by a call to dbm_close() causes hashed database directory
files to be truncated.
Corrects a problem which occurs when pthread_cond_timedwait()
is called with a large timeout value (greater than 23 days).
There is a problem in the Bind 4.9.3 patch which may cause
incorrect messages to be reported.
It may also cause statically linked programs
using certain network functions in libc to core dump.
Fixes a problem with call_shared executables that are linked
with libc.a instead of libc.so.
A symptom of this problem is that routines
like dlopen(3) and __fini_* routines are not run.
Fixes a problem with the auditd daemon.
If auditd is logging
to a server and the server becomes unavailable, the CPU usage for the daemon
rises dramatically.
Fixes a problem in which RPC client functions do not correctly
handle system calls interrupted by a signal (EINTR errors).
Fixes a problem that causes the readdir_r() function to read
past the end of its input buffer.
Fixes a DECthreads problem in which a threaded program may
unexpectedly abort a process.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes a bug found in "pthread_kill" call.
The
bug may cause a thread program to terminate when the program tries to send
a kill signal to a terminated thread.
Fixes a problem whereby exceptions propagating out of (or
thrown from) __init routines in C (or C++) programs are not caught by the
last chance handler and result in an infinite loop.
Fixes a problem with the syslog function.
Some syslog messages
may fail to get written to a log file when the system is experiencing a
heavy I/O load.
Fixes a problem with rexec(3) losing socket descriptors.
Fixes a problem with the statvfs function.
statvfs returns
a wrong status when the file system is full.
Under enhanced security, sometimes users (even root) are unable
to log in on graphics console, even after using dxdevices or edauth to clear
the t_failures count.
On systems running enhanced security, user-written applications
that call auth_for_terminal() may fail with a segmentation fault.
Fixes a problem which occurs when a program attempts to create
a thread with stacksize or guardsize greater than maximum signed long integer.
Fixes a scanset processing problem in swscanf().
Fixes a problem that causes a segmentation fault when doprnt
calls strlen with non-null-terminated char arrays.
Fixes a problem with disklabel, where the command failed if
the device was unable to provide disk geometry information.
Fixes a call to dbm_open() followed immediately by a call
to dbm_close() caused hashed database directory files to be unnecessarily
flushed.
The ndbm routines were not threadsafe because of the definition and
use of buffer ovfbuf, and dbm_open had some problems in its error handling
code.
The calculation of the page block size in dbm_open() did not make
some necessary checks on size limits.
Fixes a problem with printing floating point values using
the width and precision specifiers.
Previously, the leading and trailing
zero counts were often miscalculated.
Fixes a memory leak in the libc glob() function.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes a virtual memory problem that may cause the system to
panic with one of the following messages:
pmap_begin_mutex_region timeout
or
simple_lock timeout
Fixes a problem in the DECthreads library for DIGITAL UNIX.
During a fork() operation, DECthreads temporarily replaces its signal-to-exception
mapping for synchronous signals by installing the system default handler.
This fix permits any user-installed handlers to remain in place during
the fork() operation.
Fixes a problem in the audit daemon when it is used as a network
server.
Child auditd processes that are serving network connections fail
to reap their child processes (such as when log files are compressed),
leaving them as defunct processes on the system.
Resolves a problem with Enhanced Security not handling a voucher
correctly from some other security mechanism such as DCE.
The scenario
to reproduce the problem would be:
A user incorrectly enters his username at the first "login:" prompt,
but subsequently corrects the login name when prompted again after the
first failure.
Without this patch, the user upon successfully typing their
login/password on the second try would still receive the message "login
incorrect".
Adds automatic detection of a cdfs file system for the mount(8)
command.
Fixes a problem that occurs if the kernel tunable variable
"old-obreak" is set to zero and the system is running the Korn shell (ksh).
The shell gets caught in an infinite loop printing a message similar to
the following.
Eventually the process will core dump:
/adp/bin/adpbkup[135]: no space
Fixes a problem with the ksh shell program.
ksh prevents a
command which runs in a subprocess from writing to a tape device.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes a problem that occurs when using the Korn shell (ksh).
Keyboard input is not echoed when a user exits via a trap, after editor
options have been set in ksh.
Fixes a problem in which the ksh command periodically prints
erroneous characters instead of the command that was typed.
Fixes a problem in which the ksh shell sometimes reverses
the group id (GID) and the effective group id (egid) of the calling process.
Fixes problems that occur when using the ksh shell.
When the
PATH for a command is not found, the following error message is displayed.
Also, when the set command is executed, the system core dumps:
/bin/ksh: invalid multi-byte character
Fixes a problem that occurs when using the Korn shell (ksh).
Variables set with the typeset -L[n] built-in command do not work correctly
when other subshells are spawned.
Fixes a problem that was caused by the Korn shell running
in EMACS mode.
When a window was resized with a width that exceeded 160
characters, the next command (or even a return) would cause the ksh utility
to core dump.
Fixes a problem in the kornshell in which the "lt" operator
didn't work correctly when the first expression was more than ten digits.
Fixes a problem when builtin variables (ex.
TMOUT) are exported
as readonly with values >
256.
The "set" command (display all
variables) will cause ksh to core dump with the error "stack overflow".
Fixes several serious problems with the "csh" command.
Some
of these problems can cause the "grep" and "find" commands to fail, when
the user runs the commands under the "csh" shell.
Fixes a problem that occurs when using the C shell (csh).
When a command that does both wildcard expansion and command substitution
is run in csh, incorrect results are produced.
|
Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes the problem that csh may omit the data byte 0x80 when
processing a string in the ja_JP.SJIS or zh_TW.big5 locales.
Corrects a problem which results in a superuser being able
to inadvertently bring the system down to single user mode by accidentally
killing pid 1 (init) when trying to kill a background job (%1).
Fixes a memory management problem that occurs on systems running
the Korn shell.
Incorrect results occur when the length of the parameter
to the echo command is altered.
Corrects quota command to return most severe error status
on exit.
Fixes problems that occur with the dump and rdump commands.
The commands will fail with the following error message:
available blocks n < estimated blocks m
When a member of group "operator" logged into the console and (r)dump
was invoked with the -n flag, an extraneous file (/dev/:0) was created.
Fixes a problem in which the dump command fails when the full
pathname of the output file is not given.
Fixes a problem in which the vquota, vedquota, quota, edquota,
dump, csh, and nslookup commands will sometimes display incorrect error
messages for non-English locales.
Fixes a problem with the edquota utility, which prevented
a user from creating quotas for UIDs or GIDs that did not already exist
in the /etc/passwd or /etc/group files.
Fixes a problem in which BIND client applications are not
able to resolve node names.
Network applications running on a BIND client
such as ping, telnet, and ftp using node names that are resolved by a BIND
server will result in resolution errors such as "unknown host".
Fixes a problem in the csh shell that caused a change in the
way wildcard patterns were matched.
The problem resulted in the error:
Glob aborted - Permission denied.

Patch 1042.00
continued
|
Fixes a problem with /usr/bin/ksh and the named-pipe (FIFO)
communication that is used by applications.
Fixes a problem from a previous libc patch in which the gethostbyaddr
function is not able to resolve node names.
Non-standard characters that
fall out of the standard set, such as underscores, cause a node name resolution
problem for the gethostbyaddr function.
Fixes a problem where C shell background processes started
from within a terminal emulator window (dtterm, dxterm, or xterm) exit when
the terminal emulator window is closed.
This problem fixes unexpected logouts and terminal hangups
encountered when using the /bin/su command and /bin/ksh as a login shell.
Corrects a problem that was causing ksh to core dump in vi
editting mode.
ksh was core dumping intermittently when using "."
to repeat a command.
ksh does a segmentation fault and core dumps when displaying
a here-document.
Fixes a problem in mountd where lines in the /etc/exports
file could be no longer than 1023 characters.
With this patch, a trailing
backslash character in the /etc/exports file allows continuations beyond
1023 characters.
Fixes a problem in mountd.
The NFS server allows read/write
access to clients not on the exports list and other clients to be incorrectly
denied access.
Fixes a problem with the mount command where it sometimes
kills other processes.
Fixes a problem when using rsh to run shutdown on a client
server.
The correct console messages are displayed, but the system hangs
instead of shutting down.

Greatly improves DIGITAL UNIX networking performance and is
targeted at high traffic Web server systems or any system which handles
a large number of TCP connections simultaneously; e.g., more than several
thousand at one time.
A kernel panic with a "kernel memory fault", typically in
either the vm_pg_alloc() or vm_zeroed_pg_alloc() routines.

doesn't print the "S" flag at appropriate times.
This patch also improves
the performance of lastcomm.
Resolves a TCP/IP network hang due to IP Q ACK deadlock.
When this condition occurs the IP Q becomes full due to saturation.
Representative
console messages indicating this condition are shown below:
SIS00-00-root: IP q full, 315617 packets dropped in the last 5 mins.

routine, and threads hanging in vfs_busy() when file-on-file mounting (kernel
option FFM_FS) is used with fattach()/fdetach() or System V STREAMS.
Fixes a problem that prevents an "options DCEDFS" line from
being added to the kernel configuration file.
Without the fix, the kernel
build will fail with the error:
ld: dcedfs.mod: setjmp: multiply defined
Fixes a panic which occurs when a UNIX domain socket lock
is being held while calling vrele().
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 multithreaded, 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.

Fixes a system panic caused by a multithreaded process with
profiling turned on.
The system panics with the following message:
lock_terminate: lock held
Fixes a problem with the way the ps utility collected CPU
usage information.

nice values of 18 or greater had contention problems based on the incorrect
CPU values.
Corrects a problem in memory allocation where a tasks resident
count could become inconsistent, causing a panic.
Fixes a problem that produced a deadlock betweeen process
threads.

dump on a system that has more then 2 gigabytes of memory.
Corrects a potential boot panic problem by limiting the size
of the bufcache.
Fixes the following two problems that occur on an NFS file
server using a Network Appliance server:
New files may not be listed in directory reads.
For example,
when the ls command is used not all the files may be listed.
When a directory listing is requested from a Network Appliance
server, more data than was requested may be returned and the extra data is
lost by the DIGITAL UNIX client.
The problem can be seen by doing using the
ls command; not all the files on the server are listed.
Fixes a virtual memory problem in which an uninitialized pointer
in u_dev_protect() causes a kernel memory fault to occur.
Resolves systems from hanging during boot.
Disabling CRD interrupts during boot caused PAL to NOT deliver the
interrupt to the OS and therefore NOT clear the error, so a infinite recursion
interrupt hang results.

Corrects a potential problem in the handling of a write()
system call to a routing socket.
Fixes a problem with user stack pointers not being saved properly
in kernel crash dumps for running threads.
Fixes a problem whereby the contiguous memory allocator uses
physmem to calculate percentage of memory to reserve.
On a system with
memory holes, this results in reserving non-existent pages for contiguous
memory.
Fixes a problem in the AdvFS system.
The log file corruption
caused panics during recovery and failures displaying one of the following
messages:

for a process was an integral rather than mean value.
DDR subsystem updated to handle SCSI devices returning a non-standard
device type.
Fixes two problems with ddr_config.
ddr_config previously
would sometimes build partial device records.
ddr_config on DIGITAL UNIX
V4.0 was not compatible with input files created prior to this version.

limited the maximum block size of "unknown" tape drives to 64 kilobytes.
The maximum block size is changed to 16 megabytes.
Fixes the following problems that may occur on some DE500
adapters:
The hardware setup operation may interrupt a pending ARP packet
transmission.
If the cable to the adapter is not connected, the hardware
setup operation will not execute.
Re-fix of the NFS loopback mounted file system hang problem
that was fixed two years ago.
The tunable parameter ubc_nfsloopback has been
removed and the code restructured to eliminate any problems with NFS loopback
mounted file systems as well as increase NFS performance.
This patch also fixes performance and hang/panic problems with the UBC
when filling the UBC with a small number of large files.
The panic problems
usually look like simple lock timeouts which results from a task waiting on
the UBC LRU lock while ubc_page_alloc() excessively scans the LRU list for
a usable page.
Fixes a problem with the ddr_config command, where the -x
option would intermittently fail.
Fixes a problem with the memory file system (mfs) that caused
systems to hang when they attempted to dynamically allocate a cdfs file system.

before umask is applied.
Fixes a problem that can cause an NFS client application to
hang, or causes a "lock already owned by thread" panic when lockmode=4.
Fixes a problem in the cam driver.
A disk failure can cause
the driver to spend too much time retrying interleaved Test Unit Ready and
Start Unit commands.
As a result, the logging of the hard error caused by
the disk failure is delayed.
Fixes a problem where a file system is busy when trying to
unmount it.

Fixes the erroneous "SAR Stats" implementation of CAM statistics.
The original CAM stat's macros calculated inappropriate time deltas because
they were not measured on a per-io basis, and the times did not account for
overlapping i/o.

mpsleep()
sigwaitprim()
syscall()
_Xsyscall()
And the delievering threads stack would be:
psignal_internal()
kill()
syscall()
_Xsyscall()
Fixes a problem when using the mt rewind command on the TZ89
tape drive.
The tape subsystem returns an I/O error if there is not a 120
sec delay between the mt offline and the dump command.
It also adds support
for some new devices.

Corrects a problem where incorrect NFS client locking caused
a KFM panic.
Fixes a performance problem associated with page coloring
for real time applications (rt_preempt_opt=1).
There is a new tunable, "vm_page_color_private",
which is modified in the "vm" section of the sysconfigtab file.
The default
value for this variable is "0", so to enable this feature the variable must
be set to "1".
Fixes a problem where process accounting data was not written
to the accounting file when it was on an NFS-mounted file system.
This problem
occurred on Dataless Management Services (DMS) client systems.

This
patch corrects the following:
Fix pax's tar and cpio archive handling to allow filesizes
greater than 4GB.
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 problem in which /usr/bin/pax : cpio -pl does not link
files when possible, but copies them.
Fixes a problem with the tar and pax programs.
These programs
incorrectly append files to an existing archive and cause the file to become
corrupt.
Fix tar to accept -b value as the starting point for autosizing.
The tar/pax program did not always read the last tape record
of an archive.
This caused confusion for scripts that were reading a series
of archives on the no-rewind device.

This patch corrects the following problems:
Fixes two problems that occur on AdvFS systems:
An AdvFS data corruption problem can occur in user files.
This problem will not produce either a core file or return non-zero
system codes when accessing the corrupted file.
The verify command does not detect corrupted files.
Multithreaded applications that call the pthread_mutex_destroy
routine may fail when there are no threads referencing the mutex.
This
is caused by a race condition inside the pthread_mutex_unlock code.
The
typical symptom will be a return value of EBUSY from pthread_mutex_destroy.
Fixes a problem with AdvFS in which the following two panics
occur:
AdvFS Exception Module = 1, line = 1891
kernel memory fault

When a user specified
the "-t" option, vrestore erroneously attempted to restore proplists on
files that had them; issuing warning messages.
Fixes problems with the AdvFS filesystem commands "quotacheck

users to values derived from the last AdvFS fileset in /etc/fstab, rather
than the correct values for each individual fileset.
Fixes a panic with the panic string "spec_badop called" that
can sometimes occur when an fpathconf system call is issued for a file in
an AdvFS filesystem.
The panic has following stack trace:

Fixes a system panic when shutting down to single user mode
using one of the following commands:
# shutdown now
# init s
when AdvFS is the root or usr filesystem.
Fixes the following problems on systems with the AdvFS filesystem:
The mcellCount on-disk was not being updated as files
were being migrated and this resulted in a panic situation during
defragment and migrate operations.
A race condition on can result in a system panic with
the following error message:
panic (cpu 0): bs_frag_alloc: pinpg faild
During defragment and migrate operations, a lock is
not released which hangs the system next time a thread tries to obtain
the lock.
When executing /sbin/advfs/verify command on an unmounted
AdvFS domain, the system will panic with the following panic
string:
panic_string: 0xfffffc00006cad90 = "kernel memory fault"
Adds features and corrections to the AdvFS verify utility.

cause the system to panic.
A new AdvFS error number (E_DOMAIN_PANIC) (-1028)
was created.
Fixes a problem that occurs when the user attempts to fill
an AdvFS: The system crashes and displays the following panic:
lock_write: hierarchy violation
Adds features and corrections to the AdvFS verify utility.
The verify utility now detects and reports some file system corruption
problems it had previously ignored.
It also no longer gives seek errors
on really large frag files (>2GB); gives detailed warning messages when
a frag file is found to be incorrectly terminated, helping the user to know
which file's fragments are involved; gives a useful error message when the
root_domain is mounted read-only, preventing it from investigating other
domains; properly handles domains that have clones; and properly handles
SBM fixups (code which was intended to correct corrupted pages in the SBM
metadata file fixed the page in memory but then wrote the newly corrected
page over the NEXT page in the SBM.) Also increases the amount of memory
available to the program so that large memory systems can be worked with.
Fixes a problem caused by the vrestore command.
The command
would fail when restoring multiple savesets from a TZS20 tape drive.

Fixes a kernel memory fault problem that occurs on AdvFS file
systems.
The system displays the following error message:
panic: kernel memory fault at spec_reclaim()
Fixes an AdvFS problem that occurs when unmounting a domain.
An unmount thread was waiting on a variable to be set to zero before continuing,
but the routine that was to set the variable to zero never did.
Fixes a problem that crashed the system while it was running
a "collision" test.
The process would hang on a lock, never be woken,
and crash the system.
Fixes a problem with the AdvFS fs_write routine, which would
mishandle partial writes after detecting an error.
Corrects a problem where a panic would occur when running
rmtrashcan on a clone.
Fixes a problem with AdvFS, which caused a system panic with
the following message:
log_flush_sync: pingpg error
The system panic occurred when the AdvFS domain had already
issued a domain panic and a user application then attempted to close a
file in that domain.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS that produced the following system
panic:
bs_logflush_start: cannot write lsn
Fixes a problem with messages in system logs that reported
AdvFS user and group quota limits.
The messages were unclear; the user
could not determine from them which users or groups were reaching the quota
limits.
Fixes several problems associated with AdvFS tag files and
directories, including displays of erroneous data and system panics.

A state field in an AdvFS data structure was initialized,
but not maintained.
Fixes a problem where a system hang can occur when creating
an AdvFS file system, such as on "/ "or "/usr" partitions, on small memory
systems (e.g., 32-64 mb).
Fixes a problem where user files or the AdvFS frag file could
lose data, if they are updated during an AdvFS migration (that is, during
a balance, defragment, migrate, or rmvol of their AdvFS domain).
Fixes a problem in AdvFS, which causes a system panic when
a truncate operation is performed on a file:
log half full
Fixes a problem with the vrestore command.
The command had
returned a success status code even though it had restored an incomplete
file during the operation.
Fixes several problems with the vrestore command, all related
to handling and parsing of terminal I/O:
Interactive shell's handling of space characters.
Displaying of files containing non-printable characters to
a terminal during interactive's ls command, -t, -v, or -l options.
Interactive mode commands piped from stdin.
Prompting and requesting of input from a terminal during ctrl-c
signal handling.
Fixes three verify command problems:

A operating system hang condition.
The hang condition exists
due to processes deadlocking in the AdvFS code.
AdvFS does not return an error when a user opens a file in
O_SYNC mode and power is lost on the disk drive.
A locking error in the AdvFS fs_write() routine.
Fixes an AdvFS problem that occurs when the rmvol command
is stopped before the commmand successfully removes a volume from a domain.
As a result, the showfdmn and addvol commands interpreted the volume as
still in the domain (although with no data available) and a balance operation
returned the following AdvFS error message:
get vol params error EBAD_VDI (-1030)
Fixes a problem in which the vquota, vedquota, quota, edquota,
dump, csh, and nslookup commands will sometimes display incorrect error
messages for non-English locales.
Enhances the AdvFS verify utility to detect incorrect "holes"
in frags file.
Fixes an AdvFS problem, which can allow I/O requests to bypass
the ready lazy queue.
Fixes the following two problems in the AdvFS system:

The edquota command may display an
incorrect grace period.
Fixes the following problems:
Provides the following fixes and enhancements to AdvFS:
AdvFS volumes were not setting the default I/O byte
transfer size to the preferred size reported by the disk drives.
AdvFS chvol read and write transfer size range was increased.
The read-ahead algorithm was modified to improve performance
under certain conditions.
This enhancement for the /sbin/advfs/verify utility allows
it to detect loops in the list of free frags kept in the frags file.
Make vrestore work with QIC-120 and QIC-150 tapes.
Fixes a problem in which a system can hang because cleanup_closed_list()
can go into a loop.

First, the
command was slow to complete when a partial restore operation was requested.
Second, the command failed to ignore extended attribute records for the files
which were not requested for a vrestore operation.
Fixes a problem with AdvFS that will cause the system to panic
with "kernel memory fault" in audit_rec_build().

incorrect block usage on AdvFS filesets.
As a side effect of this problem,
the sendmail utility may sleep needlessly (waiting for space to become available).
Fixes a problem on systems using the AdvFS filesystem, where
the system can panic with the panic string, "del_clean_mcell_list: no primary
xtnt record".

Fixes two AdvFS problems:
When an AdvFS volume is nearly full, AdvFS files may become
corrupt as they are closed.
The verify utility can be used to detect this
"overlapped frag corruption" problem.
The truncation of the fragment bitfile was erroneously being
turned off.
This feature allows AdvFS to give back disk space periodically.
