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.
not pre-load the chip's Tx buffer, but instead waits for the Tx Ready
interrupt to transmit the first chunk of data.
* On the IOP310, set COM_HW_NO_TXPRELOAD, rather than COM_HW_TXFIFO_DISABLE.
This solves the "UART hangs" problem on the Npwr in a nicer way (i.e. we
get to use the FIFO, whee). The COM_HW_NO_TXPRELOAD happens to match the
Linux 16550 driver's Tx algorithm, and the "UART hang" was never observed
on the Npwr running Linux.
Eventually, we might want to eliminate the COM_HW_NO_TXPRELOAD, and simply
always use its algorithm. But it should be tested on more 16x50 variants
before we do that.
Kudos to Valeriy Ushakov <uwe@netbsd.org> for pointing out this solution
(which also happens to fix the stray UART interrupt issue on the Krups
Javastation), and to Allen Briggs <briggs@netbsd.org> for experimenting
with various methods of fixing this.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
- replace opt_kgdb_machdep.h with opt_kgdb.h
- defparam opt_kgdb.h:
KGDB_DEV KGDB_DEVNAME KGDB_DEVADDR KGDB_DEVRATE KGDB_DEVMODE
- move from opt_ddbparam.h to opt_ddb.h:
DDB_FROMCONSOLE DDB_ONPANIC DDB_HISTORY_SIZE DDB_BREAK_CHAR SYMTAB_SPACE
- replace KGDBDEV with KGDB_DEV
- replace KGDBADDR with KGDB_DEVADDR
- replace KGDBMODE with KGDB_DEVMODE
- replace KGDBRATE with KGDB_DEVRATE
- use `9600' instead of `0x2580' for 9600 baud rate
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEVNAME="\"com\""
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEV="17*256+0"
- remove unnecessary dependancy on Makefile for kgdb_stub.o
- minor whitespace cleanup
IIR_NOPEND if the TXRDY condition is true. Apparently, other chips do
not take TXRDY into account in the IIR_NOPEND case.
Also remove useless assignment (iir = IIR_NOPEND;) in one case.
No response from patch posted on tech-kern 29Aug2001.
- cominit() is local to com.c, remove prototype from comvar.h.
- Don't prototype comstop(), cdev_decl(com) does this.
- Don't use a block device switch table declaration(!).
- No need to include "com.h".
and place the definition in <machine/types.h>. This can now be used
as a flag to indicate whether or not <machine/intr.h> can be included
to get the generic soft interrupt API.
(comsoft() can be invoked before comopen() on serial consoles; a character
received before the console is opened "for real" can result in a fatal trap
unless the ring buffer pointers are initialized early)
when running at splserial(). This is a temporary measure (until
there's a MP-safe interrupt handling structure); until then, it should
be used when MULTIPROCESSOR and IPL_SERIAL > IPL_SCHED.
break character with the supplied one. This is useful for cases where
break is hard to generate, or you are connected to a PC that "sends"
breaks when power cycled. For this mode in com, interpret break char
in the polling section, which allows entry into the debugger before
the tty is opened. Only supported in the com driver currently.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
if the line discipline is ignoring carrier (e.g., via comparam()'s
setting of sc->sc_msr_mask). Move PPS timestamp outside the normal
status-change processing, and ignore sc_msr_mask when testing
for PPS events.
* The fact that IIR_NOPEND was not set on entry does *not* mean that no
transmission was in progress. Besides, we don't want to throw away receive
interrupts either.
* In the !clearirq case, we didn't splx().
1. don't clear the irq unless it was clear before transmitting
2. also do various bus_space_barrier() ops
Stops console from freezing when kprintf interrupts tty driver output.
