which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.
Follows recent discussion on tech-kern@
layers. Common middle layer shared by kbd_zs and sunkbd is moved into
the new file. Move shared config directives to files.sun and adjust
ports' files.* accordingly.
Need this to support console/Xsun on Mr.Coffee JavaStation.
Tested on sparc, sparc64 (by martin) and sun3 (by jdc).
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.
board has 2 CPU units (one for each processor), one of which also has
a "bootbus", to which the serial ports, etc. are attached.
We can now probe/attach CPUs on a SPARCserver 1000.
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.
DHCP/Bootp is tried before bootparams in the MI nfs mountroot code.
- Change the order in boot.net from "bootparams then bootp" to
"bootp then bootparams", to be consistent with the MI nfs mountroot code.
(Consistency with other NetBSD ports is good, and things still work
for sites that run bootparams but not dhcp/bootp, although I'd argue that
dhcp/bootp is much easier to setup and manage and is easier to debug
than our rpc.bootparamd...)
Per discussion with Paul Kranenburg and Matt Green.
* Pull in dev/mii/files.mii from conf/files, rather than playing
the magic "files include order" dance in N machine-dependent
configuration definitions.
