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.
Any problems reported by testers have been fixed, and massive
cross-compiling of kernels has shown that any problems that remain
with actually building kernels are not related to this.
the etc Makefile override that by putting USETOOLS into $.MAKEOVERRIDES
This way the default for kernel compiles is still to use the installed
toolchain instead of depending on $TOOLDIR. $TOOLDIR can be used by
simply adding USETOOLS=yes to the command line as usual.
Adjust each ports template to set the default no setting and also pull in
bsd.own.mk if they weren't already to ensure they'll build correctly
with the new toolchain setup.
and with the comment '4.2BSD TCP/IP bug compat. Not recommended'
Add commented out 'TCP_DEBUG # Record last TCP_NDEBUG packets with SO_DEBUG'
(All hail amiga and atari which make some attempt to automate the
multiplicity of config files...)
option for System V semaphores. It appears that there are no overrides
in the code and each file has the following added.
options SYSVSEM # System V semaphores
+#options SEMMNI=10 # number of semaphore identifiers
+#options SEMMNS=60 # number of semaphores in system
+#options SEMUME=10 # max number of undo entries per process
+#options SEMMNU=30 # number of undo structures in system
options SYSVSHM # System V shared memory
If anyone thinks that this is incorrect for any of these files, please
correct it.
Note - the i386 port was not forgotten. It was done separately.
port. cesfic is a VME board with one or two mc68040 processors. See
the README file for details.
The port is working well with a.out userland, there are some problems
with ELF still, like applications running out of memory where it is not
expected. Some parts, in particular the pmap (which was taken from hp300
four years ago), need updating, but this is easier done within the NetBSD
CVS tree.
