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.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
Be consistant in the way that MSIZE, MCLSHIFT, MCLBYTES and NMBCLUSTERS
are defined.
Remove old VM constants from cesfic port.
Bump MSIZE to 256 on mipsco (the only one that wasn't already 256).
The ISA Bus on this machine doesn't support DMA, and all interrupt lines
are wire-OR'ed together. Mileage may vary if sharing interrupts.
Tested cards:
com: 8250 and 16550 UART's (8 bit)
ec: 3com Etherlink II (8 bit)
we: SMC 8013 Ethernet (16 bit) [work in progress]
Probes, ARP in both directions works, sends clean packets,
tcpdump show correct packets on receive, NDP for IPv6 works,
netstat -s shows nothing strange.. but doesn't talk TCP/IP!
- Correctly handle striding of data
- Better support for endian neutral access
- Correctly implement _stream variants of bus_space functions that can
byte swap. This reverses the automatic byte swapping done in hardware
for 16 bit ISA bus cards
