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.
- Make local-only function and variables static.
- Move function prototypes and extern variable declarations to
header files.
- Delete unused variables.
There's still a handful of extern declaraions that should be fixed up.
- 'struct fbsoftc' created, which points to a 'struct fbinfo'
- 'struct fbinfo' for each device is allocated with fballoc()
This means:
- Console device doesn't get different 'struct fbinfo' at attach
- Console device doesn't get initialized twice
- Color rcons now works
- The current Xserver MUST BE REBUILT.
respectively), so console setup code can test forconfiguration of the
correct front-end (via NDC_DC and NDC_IOASIC, respectively).
Delete 'needs-flags' from dc.c. GC obsolete uses of NDC, "dc.h".
Where CACHED_TO_HYS() is still needed for kernel-virtual-to-physical
or physical-to-uncached mapping (fb drivers), replace with
`#include <mips/cpuregs.h>'.
with pk:
Use dev/rcons/files.rcons in the pmax config file.
Use "rasterconsole" as the tag in pmax/conf, and modify the pmax
framebuffer pseudo-device drivers (fb and rcons) to us rasterconsole.h and
RASTERCONSOLE for compile-time configuration of the rcons pseudo-device.
Modify the pmax rcons pseudo-device driver to initialize a little-endian,
QVSS-compatible font (set its ascent, and set the rconsole structure to
point to that font) before calling rcons_connect().
Tested on a cfb. The ascent may be wrong (or at least, not be aligned with
the hw cursor sprite) on a 3100.
NetBSD/sparc rcons glass-tty console pseudo-device driver, via
the "fb" generic-framebuffer pseudo-device driver.
Individual framebuffer device drivers are now autoconfig glue,
and initialization code for a set of vdac/ramdac-level methods,
called "fbdriver", that's used by all the pmax device drivers.
All the handlers for user-level requests (open/ioctl/read/write/close)
are moved into the fb pseudo-device driver, which uses the
the "fbdriver" methods to work on any given pmax hardware driver.
Framebuffers supported are: sfb cfb mfb xcfb pm.
Move the qvss (pm) -style mmap()ed device interface, kernel tracking
of mouse button/movement events, and placing mouse/keyboard
events in an mmap()ed ring buffer, out of the framebuffer device
drivers and into separate source files. The fb pseudo-device driver
uses the qvss-compatible interface, since that's what the (R5) X
server uses.
