* I heard a wild rumor that vp_interlock is a mutex these days (hi ad!)
* init new locks (hi ad)
* observe that with simple_locks only deadlocks would be caught while
releasing unlocked locks would go unnoticed. make locking work (hi pooka)
If the env variable PUFFS_COMFD is set, the descriptor value
contained in it is used for communication instead of opening
/dev/puffs and doing mount(2).
This feature is obviously very undocumented and should not be used
without adult supervision.
in sysmon_envsys_events.c.
- Separate sme_event_check_low_power() into sme_battery_check(),
sme_acadapter_check() and sme_battery_critical() (no functional changes).
- create a mostly working sysinst/ramdisk environment. i was
able to successfully run sysinst, but the screen displays many
"bad format `p'" errors i am yet to track down entirely that
make it somewhat difficult to see.
with a suitable ramdisk etc, you can actually install successfully.
mostly the changes from port-prep are to switch the prep mkbootimage
to an msdos boot partition with a copy of ofwboot in it.
its children.
Fix an off-by-one bug in the sensor initialization which stopped
it from completing.
Extract sensor initialization into a new subroutine. If there is
an error while initializing sensors, do not let sc_sme dangle.
panics with a DIAGNOSTIC kernel.
In sysmon_envsys_find_40(), wait until an envsys is not busy before
settings its busy flag, in the pattern of sysmon_envsys_find().
ether_mediachange() to their own module that we compile only if
the kernel configuration demands support for both MII buses and
ethernet. Thanks to Tom Spindler for suggesting that these routines
move to dev/mii/.
This allows cats to override the BIOS (aka ABLE) settings, which enable
native mode, but doesn't route the interrupts correctly.
Discussed last year on tech-kern and port-cats.
