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.
common across many of the 4xx parts. Leaves ibm405gp.h with device
address information specific to the 405GP CPU. Now allows opb.c to
support multiple 4xx CPU types.
documentation:
- Remove "mainbus" altogether.
- The new root is "plb" - the Processor Local Bus.
- Attached to this is the "opb" - the On-chip Peripheral Bus, to which
all the on-chip devices are attached (except the cpu and pci host
bridge).
- Port-specific code can pass an array of 'struct plb_dev' to
config_rootfound() to attach extra devices to the plb. The walnut
port attaches a "pbus" (Peripheral Bus) in here for the RTC and
pc keyboard controller to attach to.
There is still much 405GP specific code; the next round of changes will
generalise this to enable easier support for other 4xx CPUs.
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.
Move the trap/vector initialization for MPC6xx ports to mpc6xx_machdep.c
Also move softnet, install_extintr, mapiodev, kvtop. Add common BAT
initialization code.
Add user Altivec support.
Fix calls to OF_call_method in macppc/macppc/machdep.c.
Use ci_fpuproc in cpu_info instead of separate fpuproc.
Add separate syscall.c and defined __HAVE_SYSCALL_INTERN.
