counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
into platform-specific initialization code, giving platform-specific
code control over which free list a given chunk of memory gets put
onto.
Changes are essentially mechanical. Test compiled for all ARM
platforms, test booted on Intel IQ80321 and Shark.
Discussed some time ago on port-arm.
* Pull in dev/mii/files.mii from conf/files, rather than playing
the magic "files include order" dance in N machine-dependent
configuration definitions.
file, <arm/cpuconf.h>, which pulls in "opt_cputypes.h" and then defines
the following:
* CPU_NTYPES -- now many CPU types are configured into the kernel. What
you really want to know is "== 1" or "> 1".
* Defines ARM_ARCH_2, ARM_ARCH_3, ARM_ARCH_4, ARM_ARCH_5, depending
on which ARM architecture versions are configured (based on CPU_*
options). Also defines ARM_NARCH to determins how many architecture
versions are configured.
* Defines ARM_MMU_MEMC, ARM_MMU_GENERIC, ARM_MMU_XSCALE depending on
which classes of ARM MMUs are configured into the kernel, and ARM_NMMUS
to determine how many MMU classes are configured.
Remove the needless inclusion of "opt_cputypes.h" in several places.
Convert remaining users to <arm/cpuconf.h>.
and pte_l2_s_cache_mode. The cache-meaningful bits are different
for these descriptor types on some processor models.
* Add pte_*_cache_mask, corresponding to each above, which has a mask
of the cache-meangful bits, and define those for generic and XScale
MMU classes. Note, the L2_S_CACHE_MASK_xscale definition requires
use of the Extended Small Page L2 descriptor (the "X" bit overlaps
with AP bits otherwise).
Significant cleanup, here, including better PTE bit names.
* Add XScale PTE extensions (ECC enable, write-allocate cache mode).
* Mechanical changes everywhere else to update for new pte.h. While
doing this, two bugs (as a result of typos) were fixed in
arm/arm32/bus_dma.c
evbarm/integrator/int_bus_dma.c
* Don't refer to VA 0, instead refer to a new variable: vector_page
* Delete the old zero_page_*() functions, replacing them with a new
one: vector_page_setprot().
* When manipulating vector page mappings in user pmaps, only do so if
the vector page is below KERNEL_BASE (if it's above KERNEL_BASE, the
vector page is mapped by the kernel pmap).
* Add a new function, arm32_vector_init(), which takes the virtual
address of the vector page (which MUST be valid when the function
is called) and a bitmask of vectors the kernel is going to take
over, and performs all vector page initialization, including setting
the V bit in the CPU Control register ("relocate vectors to high
address"), if necessary.
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.
Note that this has been compiled on some systems, cats, IQ80310, IPAQ, netwinder and shark (note that shark's build is currently broken due to other reasons), but only actually run on cats.
Shark doesn't make use of the functionality as I believe there has to be a correlation between OFW and the kernel tables so that calls into OFW work.
