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.
adding "alpha_" / "ALPHA_" prefix to items as appropriate. Rename
CHECKSUM_BOOT_BLOCK() -> ALPHA_BOOT_BLOCK_CKSUM(). Add cgd's copyright
from disklabel.h.
- Clean up a couple of comments.
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.
saves about 2.2MB under /usr/include/dev/. Discussed on tech-kern@
recently.
I HOPE to get the list right. The headers I left in are ones
used for MI tools and those whose usage I discovered by grep over tree sources.
Feel free to put needed includes back in if you encounter anything which
should not be removed from lists.
- Wsmouse_input() get new argument 'flag', which indicates whether x/y/z are
relative or absolute.
- Wsmouse get new io controls, WSMOUSEIO_SCALIBCOORDS and
WSMOUSEIO_GCALIBCOORDS.
(done by directly setting zilog chip control bits -- there should be
a zs_set_frame() or so in z8530sc.c)
