As a first step towards managing linux user space in a chrooted /compat/linux, initially for i915 testing with intel gpu tools, later on to get widevine and steam to work I'm trying to get apt to work. I've fixed a number of issues to date in pseudofs/linprocfs but now I'm running in to a bug caused by differences in SIGCHLD handling between Linux and FreeBSD. The situation is that apt will spawn dpkg and wait on a pipe read. On Linux when dpkg exits the SIGCHLD to apt causes a short read on the pipe which lets apt then continue. On FreeBSD a SIGCHLD is silently ignored. I've even experimented with doing a kill -20 <apt pid> to no effect. It would be easy enough to check sysvec against linux in pipe_read and break out of the loop when it's awakened from msleep (assuming there aren't deeper issues with signal propagation for anything other than SIGINT/SIGKILL) and then do a short read. However, I'm assuming that anyone who has worked in this area probably has a cleaner solution.
Thanks in advance. -M _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
