After weeks of trying to figure why my RTEMS/KASQ server crashes now
and then I found a nasty bug I introduced in adding multiple-driver
support to libio. The bug only affects `add-on' driver classes (like
the networking code). Old-style file descriptors were not affected.
The bug cleared 32 bytes of memory (unspecified location) whenever a
`close' of a socket was performed! I was clearing an IOP I hadn't
allocated -- and the pointer wasn't initiallized, either!
(Sapporo, Japan) submitted the extended console driver for the
MVME162LX BSP and the POSIX tcsetattr() and tcgetattr() routines.
This device driver supports four serial ports, cooked IO, and
provides a portable base for Zilog 8530 based console drivers.
was done based on the 3.6.0 release and had to be autoconf'ed locally.
It is turned on is the bsp enables it and it is not explicitly disabled
via the configure option --disable-tcpip. As many warnings as possible
were removed locally after the code was merged. Only the gen68360
and mvme136 bsps were compiled this way.
The ka9q port and network driver were submitted by Eric Norum

of the POSIX API necessary to support the GNAT runtime to initially compile.
We now have verified that the specifications for the necessary routines
are correct per the POSIX standards we have.
the inline implementation. The impetus for this was twofold. First,
it is incorrect to have static inline prototypes when using the macro
implementation. Second, this reduced the number of lines in the include
files seen by rtems.h by about 2000 lines.
Next we restricted visibility for the inline routines to inside the
executive itself EXCEPT for a handful of objects. This reduced the
number of include files included by rtems.h by 40 files and reduced
the lines in the include files seen by rtems.h by about 6000 lines.
In total, these reduced the compile time of the entire RTEMS tree by 20%.
This results in about 8 minutes savings on the SparcStation 10 morgana.

Receive Server. As a result, the CPU Table field for extra stack for
the SYSI task was changed to be extra stack for the MPCI Receive Server.
