- New metrics handling. Metrics are now kept in the new
`struct disk'. Busy time is now stored as a timeval, and
transfer count in bytes.
- Storage for disklabels is now dynamically allocated, so that
the size of the disk structure is not machine-dependent.
- Several new functions for attaching and detaching disks, and
handling metrics calculation.
Old-style instrumentation is still supported in drivers that did it before.
However, old-style instrumentation is being deprecated, and will go away
once the userland utilities are updated for the new framework.
For usage and architectural details, see the forthcoming disk(9) manual
page.
be in 1972 or 1973. If the clock is set to the actual time, the PROM
appears to reset the chip date to 1972 at each reboot.
Change the "year offset" from 22 years to 24 years (good till 1997)
until this code is replaced with something that uses the chip as a
seconds-since-beginning-of-year clock (encoded as a date, relative to
1972-01-01 00:00:00).
A fair bit of this, the m68k core dump and exec goo, can probably be
made into a generic m68k hpux module, eventually.
More to be placed in hpux_machdep.c - keep your eyes peeled...
Eliminate pmax/tc/tc.h. Use dev/tc headers for pmax port. Change pmax TC
autoconfig tables to use structs (mostly) compatible with dev/tc/tcvar.h.
Move TC console search to tc.c.
utilizing David Jones' new MI NCR 5380 code. Ported from the sun3 ncr_si.c
and "sw" DMA code written by me.
This driver contains user-configurable "options", which can be set via the
"flags" directive in the kernel configuration file. By default, only
DMA is enabled. DMA completion interrupts and reselection may be enabled
by setting the appropriate bits with "flags". See si.c for details.
Note that DMA completion interrupts and reselection don't yet work on the
4/100 controller. I don't know why, and it's unlikely that I'll have
the opportunity to find out any time soon. DMA does work, and results
in a considerable performance increase.
DMA, DMA completion interrupts, and reslection all work on my 4/260 (VME)
system with modern SCSI-II disks.
