DMA via the Secondary Inbound window, for now. Will probably
need to revisit this at some point.
Require that the board-specific i80312 front-end slice off a
subregion for the memory controller before calling i80312_attach(),
and fix a bug in the IQ80310 front-end that caused the Secondary
Inbound window to be configured incorrectly.
On platforms which load the kernel sans symbols directly from firmware
(possibly in e.g. S-Record format), call ddb_init() with empty arguments,
so that it will search any compiled in SYMTAB_SPACE. On all other platforms,
if __ELF__, also call ddb_init() with empty arguments until ELF bootloaders
which pass symbol information are ready.
just basic Inbound and Outbound window setup is done, PCI configuration
space access (not quite working yet), and I/O and Memory space routines
so far.
we need later in the code. This fixes a fatal kernel fault in
pmap_modified_emulation if a user application tries to access a kernel
address that is section-mapped.
Add a diagnostic that detects attempts to call pmap_kenter_pa with a
va that is section-mapped.
caching on for a page just because we are clearing the writable bit in
the PTE: this is incompatible with the way pmap_vac_me_harder works,
and the code in the modified emulation handler doesn't know about
recalculating the cachable attributes (nor should it, IMO).
Also, if we are invalidating a page, flush its TLB entry; for some
reason we were only doing this when clearing the Write or modified
bits.
These patches together seem to solve the random seg-faults that were
still occuring occasionally under heavy paging.
is higher than SPL_HIGH (maybe we should be fixing SPL_HIGH).
If IPL_STATCLOCK is defined, initialize spl_masks[_SPL_STATCLOCK] from
it; otherwise initialize use IPL_CLOCK.
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.
support it in the kernel yet. If we don't do this, GDB arbitrarily
assumes we wanted it to be 9, which is silly.
In the kernel, leave it undefined so that sys_process.c doesn't
generate code for it.
the instruction we used with GDB 4.x. The new instruction has the advantage
of fitting the pattern that ARM recommend using for instructions that need to
stay undefined.
(eg ARM920), the mode in which the processor operates is governed by
the use of both the PT_C and PT_B bits:
PT_C=1,PT_B=1 -> Write-back
PT_C=1,PT_B=0 -> Write-through
To support this define pte_cache_mode (initialized to PT_C|PT_B) and
use that when enabling cacheing for a page.
to allocate a L1 pt is often enough to bring the system to its knees:
so make the messages PDEBUG(0,...).
However, even with this step having more than a small number of
processes searching for a L1 pt can still be enough to bring the system
down, since they all run at high priority and sleep for very little time,
thus blocking out user code from completing. So implement an exponential
backoff when waiting for a page table, so that we don't hog the CPU when
memory is scarce.
Tested by running a make of the C compiler with "gnumake -j30" (and plenty
of swap space).
is shared with another process (as can happen if vfork is being used),
then that other process will end up not having a page 0, which is bad
news indeed, since then there is no way back into the kernel.
Found this using a multi-ice box, so they are useful after all!
This seems to fix pr port-arm32/11921 and (possibly) kern/9859.
arch/arm/iomd/* .... the RC7500 isnt really an iomd/vidc machine but has
different video/audio chip and was kind of hardwired/hacked into the other
chip drivers.
The IOMD/VIDC combination is now moved to arch/arm/iomd together. These
files still need a lot of cleaning up :( .... esp. the RC7500 support that
is still dormant in it; this needs either to be removed or split out for
RC7500's ``VIDC'' video/audio variant.
Apart from the RC7500 support wich is still in arch/arm32 the
iomd,vidc,riscpc and podulebus subdirectories of arch/arm32 can be removed.
This split still uses some small parts of arch/arm32 .... those are the MI
parts that haven't been moved yet.
RiscPC/A7000 have been tested and confirmed to build as should NC.
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
Remove some overzealous locking of HEAD_TO_MAP
Remove a potential deadlock in pmap_copy_page
Change alloc and free l1pt to use kenter/kremove.
Update pmap_map to use kenter (only actually used by dumpsys, so no matching kremove)
This will allow improvements to the pmaps so that they can more easily defer expensive operations, eg tlb/cache flush, til the last possible moment.
Currently this is a no-op on most platforms, so they should see no difference.

Thorpe as an extension to the bus_space(9) API.
Only the mainbus has a working mmap... iomd, podulebus and isa dont have
one yet. Its trivial to add the iomd and isa's memory part but am a bit
hessistant to add it without knowing its implications by heart.
Podulebus might be implemented in 32 bits EASI but otherwise its not really
transparent since there is AFAIK no function to explicitly read one byte or
so .. or is this implemented in a higher level ?
ARM26 and arch/arm32/dnard (Shark) kernels compile and RiscPC and Shark
kernels are tested and function OK.
Implications of other ARM systems like hpcarm and ebarm are propably
minimal or solved trivially.
ELF _C_LABEL(irqhandlers) == irqhandlers so we were getting self-referential
pointer which causes the IRQ to fall on itself. [With this change the
netwinder kernel can now be *ELF* and boots to multiuser]
