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.
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.
- for bold characters, only blit the leftmost ftwidth pixels per character
cell row. The rightmost row which used to be printed would have been
overwritten formerly by the next character on sequential output, so no
visible change will result most of the time.
This fixes two problems:
* USE_C_BFOPS (which only works for 8 pixel wide fonts) blits the same
for bold characters now... it used to print the rightmost 8 pixel columns
of the bold-smeared characters
* we no longer need a reserved 1 pixel column at the right end of the screen.
That is, a 640x400 screen will hold 80x50 charactes with the 8x8 font.
- Added support for multiple floppy drives
- CyberVision64:
- has now a real console mode
- another bugfix for boards with the new S3 chip
- Ariadne:
- fixed crashes with aeput (mbuf failure)
amiga goes: config.new *and* /sys/scsi.
clock code coerced into a single .c file adding an accurate usec delay().
disklabel.c updated to DTRT, code to write RDB's to be added soon.
sbic (old scsi) converted over to new scsi and config this covers about
90% of users. Other drivers soon.
up on an A3000. There are still (very) few changes required outside the
arch/amiga tree, so you can't recompile the kernel yet. Support for
third party SCSI controllers for the A2000 is on its way. The kernel is
fully functional (except for a missing ethernet-driver ...). This
tree is based on my version #390.
