Patch Name: PHKL_5935 Patch Description: s700 10.01 io_map doesn't allow I/O space to be shared Creation Date: 95/08/29 Post Date: 95/10/11 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.01 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.CORE-KRN Automatic Reboot?: Yes Status: General Release Critical: Yes PHKL_5935: OTHER PANIC With the introduction of 10.0, the map_mem_to_host() driver service may return a NULL pointer under certain instances. For example, if a user process has already mapped in the I/O space, then any driver attempting to map it in with map_mem_to_host() (or directly with io_map()) will receive a NULL pointer. Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/10.X/PHKL_5935 Symptoms: PHKL_5935: Starting with release 10.0, the map_mem_to_host() driver service no longer maps I/O space to *both* the kernel and user processes. It now only maps the space privately to the kernel, thus preventing user processes from also mapping in the same space and accessing it. Note that this behaviour also applies to the underlying io_map() driver service. Defect Description: PHKL_5935: Any driver issuing the map_mem_to_host() request (starting with 10.0) will no longer be able to map the I/O space to a user process. The map_mem_to_host() request now maps the space with kernel read/write access rights (prior to this in 9.X based systems the space was mapped with user read/write access rights), thus preventing user processes from mapping/accessing the same space. In addition, the underlying io_map() service will now (starting with 10.0) assign a non-zero protection ID to any space mapped with PROT_URW (user read/write) access rights. This will allow user processes to map/access the space but prevent drivers from mapping/accessing the I/O space. In short, either a driver OR a process can map in an I/O space range-- BUT NOT BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Back up your system before installing a patch. 2. Login as root. 3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory. 4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch: cd /tmp sh PHKL_5935 5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the patch: swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \ -s /tmp/PHKL_5935.depot 5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the server to install the patch on the server and the clients: swcluster -i -b This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and force all clients to be shut down. WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the patch installation. Installing the patch while the clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to serious problems. The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which you must specify: alternate root path - default is /export/shared_root/OS_700 source depot path - /tmp/PHKL_5935.depot To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install" from the Menubar. 5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster: - run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install the patch on the cluster server. - run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install the patch on the cluster clients. The cluster clients must be shut down as described in step 5b. By default swinstall will archive the original software in /var/adm/sw/patch/PHKL_5935. If you do not wish to retain a copy of the original software, you can create an empty file named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE. Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the patch cannot be deinstalled. Please be careful when using this feature. It is recommended that you move the PHKL_5935.text file to /var/adm/sw/patch for future reference. To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the tape drive, use the command: dd if=/tmp/PHKL_5935.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k Special Installation Instructions: None
