Patch Name: NightView-001
Date Issued: 25-Oct-2004
Software Package: NightView (Version 5.9)
OS Releases: PowerMAX OS 4.3, 5.1, 6.1
Architectures: ppc
Related Patches: none
Brief Description:
This patch corrects the following problems:
o Attaching to a process that had previously been debugged would create
new patch areas. This could lead to problems as more patch areas were
created for each attach. NightView now uses the same patch areas from
the original debug session.
o NightView would sometimes abort during forward-search command if the
text was not found.
o The user process would sometimes abort if you did a next command to
step over a routine that creates a new thread.
o In the Data Window, displaying a pointer as an array could fail to
determine the size of the elements.
o In the Customizing Command Buttons section of the User's Guide, there
is a correction to the description of how to create a button that runs
multiple commands, and the example is expanded to show that case.

Brief Description:
This patch contains corrections to the Data Monitoring Library 3.3.1.
Problem Description:
1) The library contained portions of the libud.a library which
where inappropriate for linking with Fortran programs that
used the NightTrace bindings. The libud.a portions have
been removed from the library; users must now add -lud to
link rules for program that use the Data Monitoring Library.

Brief Description:
This patch contains enhancements and corrections to NightProbe 2.8.
Change Description:
1) NightProbe 2.8 fails to load all X resouces from
/usr/lib/x11/app-defaults/Nprobe if the envoenment variable
LC_ALL="POSIX". This resulted in missing button labels and
malformed dialogs. The cause of the problem was an 8-bit character
representing the greek letter, "mu", inside the
/usr/lib/x11/app-defaults/Nprobe resource file.
The letter "mu" is now encoded using 7-bit characters, making it
safe for use with LC_ALL=POSIX.

Patch Name: nsim-001
Date Issued: 18-Jul-2001
Software Package: NightSim (Version 3.2.2)
OS Releases: PowerMAX OS 4.3, 5.0, 5.1
Architectures: ppc
Related Patches: nsimserver-001
Brief Description:
This patch contains enhancements and corrections to NightSim 3.2.2.
Change Description:
1) NightSim no longer occasionally fails with a segmentation fault
when closing the Monitor Window.
2) NightSim is now able to select an active Closely-Coupled scheduler
that was created using a previous version of NightSim.
3) With this version of NightSim, an active scheduler may be selected
on the target system even when NightSim is invoked by the root user.
4) NightSim was unable to select an active scheduler properly if
another user had created an FBS on the same target. NightSim is
now able to properly list the available schedulers, even when
another user owns an FBS on the same target.
5) NightSim now correctly displays config file paths which are very
long (100 or more characters).
6) When using a Real Time Clock as the timing source for a
Closely-Coupled or RCIM-Coupled scheduler, NightSim would start
the RTC prior to starting the FBS. This could cause a race
condition between the initial interrupt and the messages
passed to each target while starting each individual target
FBS by the operating system. NightSim now starts the RTC
after the distributed FBS is started, ensuring a synchronized
start on all targets.
7) NightSim no longer occasionally fails with a segmentation
fault when closing the Scheduler Window after using the Edit
Process window.
8) NightSim now only changes data on the Edit Process Window
when absolutely necessary.
9) NightSim presents the Target Name field on the Edit Process Window
differently depending on the selected Distribution of the scheduler.
This presentation makes it easier to avoid potential errors caused
by the inappropriate modification of the target name.
10) When changing the Timing Host name or Distribution of the Scheduler
Window, NightSim would occasionally choose to reassign scheduled
process to the Timing Host. NightSim no longer changes the target
on which a process is scheduled without first confirming the change
with the user.
11) NightSim now properly finalizes the KoalaTalk library when
shutting down, allowing the removal of ICE library support files
created in /tmp and /dev.
12) NightSim no longer occasionally fails with a segmentation fault
when closing the Verify Scheduler Window.

Software Patch Report
Patch Name: nsim-002
Date Issued: 15-Jun-2005
Software Package: NightSim (Version 3.4)
OS Releases: PowerMAX OS 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 6.2
Architectures: ppc
Related Patches: nsimserver-002
Brief Description:
This patch contains enhancements and corrections to NightSim 3.4.
Change Description:
1) NightSim now supports the additional devices on the RCIM II board
on Red Hawk Target systems.
2) NightSim now configures and attaches the timer source on 'Setup'
instead of waiting until 'Start' is pressed. This allows earlier
detection of problems with the selected timer source, if there
are any.
3) This patch makes it easier to change the target system for a
scheduled process if a problem is encountered while loading
a NightSim configuration file.
4) NightSim could occasionally get a segmentation fault when loading
a NightSim configuration file. This patch fixes problems with
initialization of internal data structures which led to that
segmentation fault.
5) When saving a configuration as a script, and the configuration
scheduled /idle processes, The script was unable to properly
schedule the /idle pseudo process. This patch modifies the generated
script to ensure that the idle pseudo-process is properly scheduled.
6) The nsim '-f' option is now optional. Configuration files may be
specified on the command line without the -f option. This usage
is more consistent with the other NightStar tools.
7) Some X servers had difficulty displaying the greek 'mu' character,
representing 'micro', as in micro-seconds. This patch eliminates
the use of the greek letter, 'mu', replacing it with the 'u'
character.
8) A new Exit confirmation dialog pops up when you attempt to exit with
an active scheduler running.
9) A race condition between NightSim and the KoalaTalk server, ktserv,
was fixed, allowing NightSim to more reliably establish
communications with the server on uniprocessor systems.

Software Patch Report
Patch Name: ntrace-001
Date Issued: 05-April-2001
Software Package: NightTrace (Version 4.2)
OS Releases: PowerMAX OS 4.3, 5.0
Architectures: ppc
Related Patches: none
Brief Description:
This patch contains enhancements and corrections to NightTrace 4.2.
Change Description:
1) NightTrace now correctly merges kernel and user trace files
when the kernel trace file was generated in buffer-wrap mode.
Previously, if the kernel buffers actually wrapped around,
NightTrace would incorrectly display kernel event as occurring
at an incorrect time.
2) NightTrace was enhanced to indicate loss of kernel events. This
change is dependent on PowerMAX OS patch 4.3P6. When lost events
are encountered in kernel trace files, a corresponding 'L'
marks the spot in the ruler, and the argument to the NT_LOST_DATA
event (4095) corrresponds to the number of events lost and
discarded. NightTrace discards all events for each CPU after the
NT_LOST_DATA event until a TR_SWITCHIN event is seen. A
TR_EVENT_LOST event (4115) is generated for each CPU at the point
where kernel events were lost. Kernel display pages detect
TR_EVENT_LOST events and terminate all active syscalls, interrupts,
and exceptions to avoid misleading graphical information.
3) The default kernel display pages were changed to indicate when
user-level-interrupt routines issue system calls when a previous
system call was active and interrupted by the user-level-interrupt.
Two new events, TR_SYSCALL_NESTED_ENTRY (4138) and
TR_SYSCALL_NESTED_EXIT (4139) indicate the nested system call.

3) Enhances the search functionality of NightTrace by allowing
the user to continue searching at the beginning of the
trace file (or specified interval) when the end is reached.
This functionality supports either search direction.
4) Node List settings in configuration dialogs are now retained
and may also be modified, even when NightTrace is invoked
solely on a configuration file which was initially associated
with trace data files timestamped by the RCIM. Validation of
Node List settings is delayed until NightTrace is invoked with
trace data files.

longer a delay between the return of the ntraceud command and
the last user trace buffer being written to the output file.
The command does not return until all data has been written to
the output file.

Architectures: ppc
Related Patches: none
Brief Description:
This patch contains corrections to NightTrace Event Logging libraries.
Change Description:
1) Ada tasking and/or threads applications using NightTrace library
functions without a corresponding ntraceud daemon session occasionally
would hang utilizing heavy CPU resources. The hang occurred in
trace_inherit_context, an internal NightTrace library function
invoked automatically by the threads library and Ada runtime system.
Lack of a corresponding ntraceud daemon disabled preemption protection
in a critical section of code inside trace_inherit_context.

Brief Description:
This patch contains corrections to NightTrace Event Logging libraries.
Change Description:
1) Internal initialization code in the Night Trace API function
"trace_open_thread()" was modified so that attempts to lock
pages associated with SPL access on Night Hawk systems running
PowerMAX OS 5.1 now operate correctly. Before this change, such
attempts would cause the trace_open_thread() call to fail, as would
all subsequent Night Trace API calls, without logging any trace data.
This was only a problem on Night Hawk systems running PowerMAX OS 5.1.
