at run time. This simplifies the code and avoids problems with uninitialised
variables, and if it's good enough for pciide(4), it's good enough for me.
Also normalise the prefix for channel-specific messages.
necessary to allow the card to be detected afterwards. In theory, this
shouldn't be necessary, since we don't touch the page latch yet, but I'm not
going to argue.
- when moving the stylus, the cursor was updated only when the screen was
released
- when moving the stylus for too long, the kernel crashed
This was caused by improper delays in SSP read and write, and by interrupt
hammering while the screen is touched). Both led to the machine handling
interrupts all the time and been unable to schedule the X server, therefore
the lack of cursor refresh.
The problem is fixed by
- masking touchpanel interrupts as soon as we are already handling them
- creating a kernel thread (j720ssp) that takes care of keyboard and
touchpanel I/O, instead of doing it in a softintr.
- reducing delays in j720ssp_readwrite operations from 5ms to 0.1ms.
NB: If the delay in j720ssp_readwrite operation is lowered to 0.1, then
switching on the screen using the power key pushes brightness to maximum.
In order to avoid this, we introduce a wait argument to j720ssp_readwrite,
which specify how many microseconds we have to wait. j720ssp_readwrite is
called with wait = 100 everywhere except in j720lcdparam where it is called
with wait = 500. That way it works.
If two signals are sent after each other without the process being run in
userspace between them then the second one will overwrite part of the signal
info stored on the userstack.
Fixed by rewriting and simplifying both the signal delivery code and the
trampoline code. Also bump signal version number to 2.
problem, such that a TLB miss no longer occurs.
With the above, it is now safe to enable write-back caching for userland
mappings.
TODO: Deal with cache issues for shared mappings with different VAs.
- Add event counters for some key pmap events (similar to mpc6xx pmap).
- Use the cache-friendly, optimised copy/zero page functions.
- Add the necessary cache management code to enable WriteBack caching
of KSEG1 mappings. Seems to work fine so far.
