This is done by adding an extra argument to mi_switch() and
cpu_switch() which specifies the new process. If NULL is passed,
then the new function chooseproc() is invoked to wait for a new
process to appear on the run queue.
Also provides an opportunity for optimisations if "switching to self".
Also added are C versions of the setrunqueue() and remrunqueue()
low-level primitives if __HAVE_MD_RUNQUEUE is not defined by MD code.
All these changes are contingent upon the __HAVE_CHOOSEPROC flag being
defined by MD code to indicate that cpu_switch() supports the changes.
rely on default value. It should actually be extracted
from the bootpath instead, but that involves translating
from apple partition map entries to netbsd disklabel entries.
(as Solaris, Linux and HP/UX all mention they need zlib and it should
be part of libnbcompat, maybe this is a hint for us to get a move on
and do that :)
- consistently support __hpux (which the HP compilers define) as well
as __hpux__ (not sure which compilers set this, but retained anyway)
- fix a typo in the definition of signal(). arguably the codebase should
just be converted to sigaction()...
memory fault handler. IRIX uses irix_vm_fault, and all other emulation
use NULL, which means to use uvm_fault.
- While we are there, explicitely set to NULL the uninitialized fields in
struct emul: e_fault and e_sysctl on most ports
- e_fault is used by the trap handler, for now only on mips. In order to avoid
intrusive modifications in UVM, the function pointed by e_fault does not
has exactly the same protoype as uvm_fault:
int uvm_fault __P((struct vm_map *, vaddr_t, vm_fault_t, vm_prot_t));
int e_fault __P((struct proc *, vaddr_t, vm_fault_t, vm_prot_t));
- In IRIX share groups, all the VM space is shared, except one page.
This bounds us to have different VM spaces and synchronize modifications
to the VM space accross share group members. We need an IRIX specific hook
to the page fault handler in order to propagate VM space modifications
caused by page faults.
