copyin() or copyout().
uvm_useracc() tells us whether the mapping permissions allow access to
the desired part of an address space, and many callers assume that
this is the same as knowing whether an attempt to access that part of
the address space will succeed. however, access to user space can
fail for reasons other than insufficient permission, most notably that
paging in any non-resident data can fail due to i/o errors. most of
the callers of uvm_useracc() make the above incorrect assumption. the
rest are all misguided optimizations, which optimize for the case
where an operation will fail. we'd rather optimize for operations
succeeding, in which case we should just attempt the access and handle
failures due to insufficient permissions the same way we handle i/o
errors. since there appear to be no good uses of uvm_useracc(), we'll
just remove it.
have proper definitions for offsets of APM DMA registers.
NULL out round_buffersize and round_blocksize in audio_hw_if. We
don't seem to have any special requirements and audio(9) already
provides enough rounding.
"void *", and do the extra de-reference directly in the function. this
avoids having to cast dozens of different types to "void **", which sets
of GCC3's strict-aliasing. testing by martin@
XXX - need to move this (as well as the equivalent sparc stuff added
recently) outa here into sbus_machdep or something. We should not need
to know details of the actual bus_space implementation here.
bus_space_{read,write}_[1248]() functions, which will allow 16-bit
PCMCIA support to work without additional hacks in MI drivers.
this option is not enabled yet.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
intterupts. No more races between the two interrupt handlers, without any
locking, and the driver becomes a bit simpler too.
Use the last bit of the config flags to select between the first and the
second sbus interrupt level the firmware has assigned to us.
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.
