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.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
many bugs have been fixed).
Changes:
The wskbd, wsmouse, and wsmux are now "sub-classes" of wsevsrc, which is
a source of ws events. This make the structure of those drivers a little
more uniform.
Many bug fixes involving adding and removing devices from muxes.
When a kernel is configured without wsmux there will now be none (unlike
before where you got a console mux anyway).
The kernel now compiles with all combinations of ws devices present.
* Allow the wsmux used by wsdisplay for the keyboard(s) to be explicitely
specified with the kbdmux locator.
* Allow keyboards and mice that have a mux to be opened in the regular way.
These changes should be totally backwards compatible.
backlight, brightness and contrast.
- Add 9 command key symbols which make wskbd to call wsdisplay's
iocontrol.
- Add special key map variant KB_MACHDEP. This variant does not
have any real keymap but it's just a placeholder for machine dependent
maps which will be overwrite by machine dependent keyboard driver.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
headaches.
Now console keyboard and display are connected at autoconfiguration time,
when the last of them is found. Other keyboards / displays remain
unconnected until a new ioctl (WSDISPLAYIO_SETKEYBOARD) is called.
