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).
cd ${KERNSRCDIR}/${KERNARCHDIR}/compile && ${PRINTOBJDIR}
This is far simpler than the previous system, and more robust with
objdirs built via BSDOBJDIR.
The previous method of finding KERNOBJDIR when using BSDOBJDIR by
referencing _SRC_TOP_OBJ_ from another directory was extremely
fragile due to the depth first tree walk by <bsd.subdir.mk>, and
the caching of _SRC_TOP_OBJ_ (with MAKEOVERRIDES) which would be
empty on the *first* pass to create fresh objdirs.
This change requires adding sys/arch/*/compile/Makefile to create
the objdir in that directory, and descending into arch/*/compile
from arch/*/Makefile. Remove the now-unnecessary .keep_me files
whilst here.
Per lengthy discussion with Andrew Brown.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
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.
it in pmap_activate(). Instead, let's leave it empty and let pages be
faulted into it on demand. This improves the context switch latency
somewhat, at least for small processes.
need to mess with the referenced and modified flags, since they're only
called when a page is being initialised, and is about to have them cleared.
Make this so.
This version works on both 26-bit and 32-bit machines. For large copies,
it's up to three times as fast as the old arm32 version and five times as
fast as the old arm26 version. For small copies it seems to be even faster
(getrusage() is apparently over ten times faster on an ARM610).
Hooray for Allen!
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 properly used by any misc. cloning device. While here, correct
a comment to indicate that "open" is the only entry point and that
everything else is handled with fileops.
This allows us to *Load boot26 at 0x8000 and then use *Go to run it.
This might be useful because we can't currently set the RISC OS filetype
for files on CDs, so they all end up being 0xffd (Data), and *RMLoad only
works for files of type 0xffa (Module), so we need some other way of loading
boot26.
be used to load a given physical page. At the moment, this just returns
the page's current logical mapping, but in future it might handle returning
bounce pages for physical pages which are in use, and copying to the correct
page just before loading the kernel.
assigned by RISCOS Ltd (and were assigned by Acorn) to be unique across all
manufacturers. This means that associating each one with a manufacturer (and
checking the manufacturer when attaching) is bogus. Thus, we don't do that
any more.
This should have the pleasant side-effect of getting APDL IDE interfaces
working, since they're just ICS ones with a different manufacturer ID.
file, <arm/cpuconf.h>, which pulls in "opt_cputypes.h" and then defines
the following:
* CPU_NTYPES -- now many CPU types are configured into the kernel. What
you really want to know is "== 1" or "> 1".
* Defines ARM_ARCH_2, ARM_ARCH_3, ARM_ARCH_4, ARM_ARCH_5, depending
on which ARM architecture versions are configured (based on CPU_*
options). Also defines ARM_NARCH to determins how many architecture
versions are configured.
* Defines ARM_MMU_MEMC, ARM_MMU_GENERIC, ARM_MMU_XSCALE depending on
which classes of ARM MMUs are configured into the kernel, and ARM_NMMUS
to determine how many MMU classes are configured.
Remove the needless inclusion of "opt_cputypes.h" in several places.
Convert remaining users to <arm/cpuconf.h>.
matching names. This commit might include some private hacks that have been
lurking in my tree a while. They're all harmless, and this reduces the number
of gratuitous diffs I have to deal with.
