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.
perform the translation and recursion if t->ranges != NULL. Make
sbus, cpuunit, and bootbus inherit the parent's map/mmap routines,
and delete the now-unused mapping functions. Update all places where
bus space tags are statically allocated.
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.
how many CPU types are configured into the kernel. Then, use this
information to define the CPU predicate macros according to the
following rules:
1. If support for a CPU type is not configured into the kernel,
then the test is always false.
2. Otherwise, if only one CPU type is configured into the kernel,
then the test is always true.
3. Otherwise, we have to reference the cputyp variable.
Use a similar strategy for short-cutting the page size related
definitions.
as (CPU_ISSUN4 || CPU_ISSUN4C) and (CPU_ISSUN4C || CPU_ISSUN4M),
respectively. The compiler can still optimize as desired by expressing
them this way, and it simplifies adding new tests.
While here, just remove CPU_ISSUN4MOR4U; it's not used by anything.
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).
- Add alignment-safe double and float unions.
- Use the above for the __infinity and __nan constants on all
architectures that use the standard ieee754 representation of
those constants.
- Add a single copy of various ieee754 math functions (frexp, isinf,
isnan, ldexp and modf) that had numerous duplicates among the
arch-specific directories.
- Use the above functions on all architectures where the generic C
versions where used. Architectures that had local assembly
routines are untouched (for those functions only).
In a lot of places (like pmap &c) we want it to be treated as SUN4M.
But since various low-level things are done very differently from
normal sparcs (and since for now it requires a relocated kernel
anyway), the MSIIEP kernels are not supposed to support any other
system. So when MSIIEP is defined - insist on SUN4M defined and SUN4
and SUN4C not defined.
