to all GENERIC-like kernel config files where SYSV* options were already
present (commented out if the SYSV* options are commented out).
Fix lib/25897 and lib/25898.
drivers that attach to it. This allows for other host interface chips
that use the same keyboards and mice, such as the ones in the ARM
IOMD20, ARM7500, and SA-1111. The PC-compatible driver is still
called pckbc(4), and the new abstraction layer is "pckbport", so the
child devices have moved from sys/dev/pckbc to sys/dev/pckbport, which
also contains some code shared between all host controllers. To avoid
incompatibility, pckbdreg.h is still installed in
/usr/include/dev/pckbc.
In theory, this shouldn't cause any behavioural changes in the drivers
concerned. Thy just use rather more function pointers than before. Tested
on i386 and (with a new host driver) acorn32. Compiled on several other
affected architectures.
files for machines I know to have genuine PCI slots. As sent to tech-kern
for feedback in December 2003. Based on feedback, opencrypto is commented
out in the macppc GENERIC (due to absense of GENERIC_SOFTINT support),
and added to the sparc64 config (sys/arch/sparc64/conf/GENERIC32).
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.
As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.
<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).
amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.
* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).
* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.
* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.
* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.
* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.
installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)
mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.
Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).
which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.
Follows recent discussion on tech-kern@
in jazz_bus_dmamap_create() disable BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW for now
rather than return ENOMEM. Required by some PCI devices (like pciide(4)).
XXX needs re-think how BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW should be handled.
XXX (we should use another flag for the jazz internal DMAC?)
esiop has been tested enouth now.
esiop not added to INSTALL kernels because of possible space constraint.
siop should be able to drive all adapters supported by esiop.
