- Make setregs() conform to the PowerPC SVR4 ABI, plus one NetBSD
extention (for ps_strings).
- machine == powerpc, not PowerPC.
- Set up machine vector for OpenFirmware.
- Nuke the msgbuf for now; it's not mapped correctly.
- Add missing casts in some asm() directives.
- Enable PSL_RI earlier, and do *not* disable it in fake_spl(), since it
is needed for page faults.
- Some general cleanup.
- Clean up symbol goop - use macros in asm.h where appropriate.
- Add, correct, and generally clean up comments.
- Properly align save areas and temporary stacks.
- Fix the 603 tlb reload code.
- Fix several bogus constants and modifiers.
- Some stylistic changes.
on to the kernel. The boot program passes a boot args string plus
additional information like so:
/pci/scsi@3/disk@0,0:1/netbsd -s<NUL><esym><tag>
The post-<NUL> values are:
<esym> end of the kernel symbol table (32-bits)
<tag> machine type tag (32-bits)
NetBSD/powerpc boot program. Highligts:
- Rearrange a bit so that we can sanely add boot programs for
non-OpenFirmware systems.
- Add support for loading compressed kernels (for booting from
1.44M floppies).
- Add support for loading Elf kernels (Elf is the new standard format
for NetBSD/powerpc). (XXX Don't load symbols right now - the code
to do it is there, but I don't particularly like how space for the
symbol table is allocated; I will revisit this soon'ish).
surprisingly if the power off sequence doesn't work as expected,
and simplifies the code a little. Fix the doboot() prototype
to quash a warning from gcc.
that pointers on 64-bit systems are printed properly. This means that
there'll be a lot of extra space on 32-bit systems, but gdb's printf doesn't
support * for width or precision specifiers, so it can't really be done much
better.
for user input, or until the driver is ready to handle them itself.
Also, try to turn on power management if the BIOS says it's disabled at
connect time.
