two ways:
- the child gets its pid as retval[0] (userland stub will turn it into a 0),
retval[1] is 1 and it is 0 in the parent.
- in the child, the fork syscall is successful, hence we must skip the next
instruction.
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.
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.
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.
Enforce -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes for all ppc ports.
Split out macppc cpu support and make common to mpc6xx ports. Make
other mpc6xx ports use it. Add evcnts for mpc6xx traps.
each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
