to be the logarithm to base 2 of the alignment, in an ELF environment n is
the actual alignment boundary; thus, adjust the directives accordingly.
Albeit the wonderful i386 architecture doesn't mind the smaller alignment in
an obvious way, it is likely to have resulted in some performance penalty
during the a.out->ELF transition.
big-endian. i386, pc532 and vax still include <machine/byte_swap.h>
and define macros for the {n,h}to{h,n}*() functions. mips also
defines some endian-independent assembly-code aliases for unaligned
memory accesses.
via interrupts:
(1) pmap_map_ptes() and pmap_unmap_ptes() don't need to do anything to
map the kernel's pmap, since all pmaps contain the kernel's PTPs.
this fixes interrupt-context calls to pmap_extract().
(2) pmap_kenter_*() and pmap_kremove() no longer adjust the kernel pmap's
resident and wired counters.
added APM event type and print out some more info if APMDEBUG
-separate segment lenghts of 16-bit and 32-bit code cleanly
-minor fixes in segment lenght calculation
that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.
This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX. This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.
free a PV page if the PV entry was associated with the kernel pmap,
since the kernel pmap is locked, and freeing the page will execute
a code path which will attempt to lock it again, resulting in deadlock.
No real loss, since the next time a PV entry is freed, the page will
be freed, too.
by default. The X11 distribution included in our last release already
supports it and the wsmouse protocol can be used for any of the above
and for USB mice.
