This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.
While we're here, enable RAIDframe (and RAID_AUTOCONFIG) by default for
architectures that I'm comfortable can deal with it being on by default.
Also: bump the number of 'raid' devices from 4 to 8, since 4 seems to
be insufficient in practise.
Any problems reported by testers have been fixed, and massive
cross-compiling of kernels has shown that any problems that remain
with actually building kernels are not related to this.
- replace opt_kgdb_machdep.h with opt_kgdb.h
- defparam opt_kgdb.h:
KGDB_DEV KGDB_DEVNAME KGDB_DEVADDR KGDB_DEVRATE KGDB_DEVMODE
- move from opt_ddbparam.h to opt_ddb.h:
DDB_FROMCONSOLE DDB_ONPANIC DDB_HISTORY_SIZE DDB_BREAK_CHAR SYMTAB_SPACE
- replace KGDBDEV with KGDB_DEV
- replace KGDBADDR with KGDB_DEVADDR
- replace KGDBMODE with KGDB_DEVMODE
- replace KGDBRATE with KGDB_DEVRATE
- use `9600' instead of `0x2580' for 9600 baud rate
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEVNAME="\"com\""
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEV="17*256+0"
- remove unnecessary dependancy on Makefile for kgdb_stub.o
- minor whitespace cleanup
and with the comment '4.2BSD TCP/IP bug compat. Not recommended'
Add commented out 'TCP_DEBUG # Record last TCP_NDEBUG packets with SO_DEBUG'
(All hail amiga and atari which make some attempt to automate the
multiplicity of config files...)
option for System V semaphores. It appears that there are no overrides
in the code and each file has the following added.
options SYSVSEM # System V semaphores
+#options SEMMNI=10 # number of semaphore identifiers
+#options SEMMNS=60 # number of semaphores in system
+#options SEMUME=10 # max number of undo entries per process
+#options SEMMNU=30 # number of undo structures in system
options SYSVSHM # System V shared memory
If anyone thinks that this is incorrect for any of these files, please
correct it.
Note - the i386 port was not forgotten. It was done separately.
is fussy about the order of sections and location of memory gaps so we
must produce a firmware friendly version of the kernel as netbsd.ecoff for
network booting
The ELF version uses the standard mips linker script which can be loaded
by the new bootstrap routines
pseudo-device pty 2 # pseudo-terminals (Sysinst needs two)
(Some installers may not be using sysinst, in which case this just reduces
the number of ptys from 16 that are not used to 2 that are not used)
For i386 conf files, no change other than comments.
in the MIPS prom loader we have to be very careful how the sections are
ordered and the number of sections defined. For this reason the standard
linker scripts cannot be used.
The exact rules don't appear to be documented and a little experimentation
is required.
- Using the prom getenv function determine the correct console port
- Remove old prom function hooks
- Tidy up bootflags (remove upper case names, fixup RB_ASKNAME) as
recommended by Jaromír Doleèek
