The graphics device driver passes a "default attribute" for normal text
output to the wscons framework. If the emulation module needs more
attributes (for different "renditions") it can allocate them via a
callback.
For now, only the "sun" emulation makes use of it.
member to the DMA tag, and calling the direct-mapped back-ends directly,
rather than through chipset-specific front-ends which pass the window
base as an additional argument.
enough to use as a console on my DEC 3000/400 (connected to a VT-520
terminal).
XXX The MI SCC driver needs serious changes to handle platforms which
have muliple SCC attachments (e.g. the Alpha port, which has an ioasic
attachment for TurboChannel systems and a gbus attachment for TurboLaser
systems).
XXX The MI SCC driver also needs changes to deal with the wacky (to put
it mildly) way the chips are wired up on the ioasic (on both TC Alphas
and DECstations). These are going to come along later.
* Add more #ifdef pmax/#endif, #ifdef alpha/#endif where appropriate.
Config and heade files need more work (or replacement)
change TK_NOTYET to HAVE_RCONS
change commented-out /* && cn_tab.cn_screen */ to && raster_console()
* Add DDB hooks.
* Note where Alpha console ignores carrier on consoles.
* Add pmax-derived console tty-size code inside HAVE_RCONS
* Fold in gross pmax rcons-input hooks, inside HAVE_RCONS
Untested, but whitespace/ifdef only, cross-compiles OK,
preprocessing shows no significat differences (famous last words)
optimal (really should be done further down the food chain), but we
can't really do that in a nice way right now, and this is much better
than what we had before (which was to steal memory pages before the
VM system was bootstrapped).
a function) which specifies how many lines will be skipped when scrolling
up when the bottom of the screen is reached. Dumb framebuffers skip 10
lines (as before) because the copies are s ... l ... o ... w, but it's
silly to skip 10 lines on VGA, since the copies are much faster, so we
only skip one in that case.
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
was sent to developers, but will eventually become a man page or
something), i noticed a few in various names:
(1) _map and _alloc should take a flags argument, rather than a
'cacheable' boolean.
(2) BUS_BARRIER_* flags should be BUS_SPACE_BARRIER_*.
(3) bus_space_copy_* should be bus_space_copy_region_* for consistency
with other region ops.
Fix all of these (in a backward-compatible way, at least for now). Redefine
internal usees of those names to use the new names. Also, while at it,
clean up the copy functions (remove unnecessary variables) and make sure
that they and other functions conform to the spec.
to be nailed down. From Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>, PR #3626,
slightly modified to allow wildcarded offsets.
- Blow away the cf->cf_unit check in sccmatch(); it's bogus.
Remove esp FLUSH when residual bytes are present in FIFO, the ncr53c9x
driver will flush when necessary. Doing the FLUSH here interferes
with DMA-enabled target selection.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
