following ports:
acorn26, amiga, hpcarm, sparc, sparc64
This was proposed by Martin Husemann at teck-kern@ in May to properly
test whether softintr can be established for all IPL, or only for
IPL_SOFT*. OKed by acorn26, hpcarm and sparc port masters.
enabled on amd64). Add a dmat64 field to various PCI attach structures,
and pass it down where needed. Implement a simple new function called
pci_dma64_available(pa) to test if 64bit DMA addresses may be used.
This returns 1 iff _PCI_HAVE_DMA64 is defined in <machine/pci_machdep.h>,
and there is more than 4G of memory.

There were some side-effects that I didn't anticipate, and fixing them
is proving to be more difficult than I thought, do just eject for now.
Maybe one day we can look at this again.
Fixes PR kern/21517.
space is advertised to UVM by making virtual_avail and virtual_end
first-class exported variables by UVM. Machine-dependent code is
responsible for initializing them before main() is called. Anything
that steals KVA must adjust these variables accordingly.
This reduces the number of instances of this info from 3 to 1, and
simplifies the pmap(9) interface by removing the pmap_virtual_space()
function call, and removing two arguments from pmap_steal_memory().
This also eliminates some kludges such as having to burn kernel_map
entries on space used by the kernel and stolen KVA.
This also eliminates use of VM_{MIN,MAX}_KERNEL_ADDRESS from MI code,
this giving MD code greater flexibility over the bounds of the managed
kernel virtual address space if a given port's specific platforms can
vary in this regard (this is especially true of the evb* ports).
breakpoint address before it's used. Currently a no-op on all but sh5.
This is useful on sh5, for example, to mask off the instruction
type encoding in the bottom two address bits, and makes it possible
to do "db> break $rXX" instead of manually munging the address.
by the application, all NetBSD interfaces are made visible, even
if some other feature-test macro (like _POSIX_C_SOURCE) is defined.
<sys/featuretest.h> defined _NETBSD_SOURCE if none of _ANSI_SOURCE,
_POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, so as to preserve
existing behaviour.
This has two major advantages:
+ Programs that require non-POSIX facilities but define _POSIX_C_SOURCE
can trivially be overruled by putting -D_NETBSD_SOURCE in their CFLAGS.
+ It makes most of the #ifs simpler, in that they're all now ORs of the
various macros, rather than having checks for (!defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) ||
!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) all over the place.
I've tried not to change the semantics of the headers in any case where
_NETBSD_SOURCE wasn't defined, but there were some places where the
current semantics were clearly mad, and retaining them was harder than
correcting them. In particular, I've mostly normalised things so that
_ANSI_SOURCE gets you the smallest set of stuff, then _POSIX_C_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _NETBSD_SOURCE in that order.
Tested by building for vax, encouraged by thorpej, and uncontested in
tech-userlevel for a week.
logic as used by <machine/param.h> to define constant PAGE_SIZE if
possible.
Also define the minimum and maximum PAGE_SIZE that might appear in
any given configuration (4K and 8K, respectively).
property to avoid gratuitous copying in prom_makememarr().
Have prom_makememarr() accept a NULL pointer, in which case it will return
the size of the array needed to store the memory descriptors.
cpu's who have done so. implement pmap_deactivate() for MULTIPROCESSOR and
call it from cpu_switch() when we are about to switch proces and when we
enter idle().
with this change, i see significantly reduced tlb IPI traffic and fork/exec
bound processes -- such as "configure" -- run significantly faster, upto
15%. i also obvserved a small (0-2%) benefit to CPU bound tasks as well.
