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.
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.
Semiconductor Au1x00 series on-chip UARTs. Will be merged with
the original com.c driver once a few issues are tidied up. Main
differences from a standard 16550 UART are:
- separate rxdata and txdata registers
- single 16-bit register for the clock divisor
- "enable uart" register
devices. Currently the serial ports and ethernet MAC have working
drivers, and this has only been physically tested on the Au1000 CPU,
but these devices should work on the Au1100 and Au1500 CPUs too.
processor ID field to donote the CPU core revision and the company
options field do donate the SOC chip type, so we need to add an extra
field to the "pridtab" structure to identify these CPUs.
- accumulating all emulation code (including floating-point) in one place
- steal MachFPInterrupt() back from SOFTFLOAT for use only with interrupts
and traps from *real* FPUs
- introducing MachEmulateInst() as a common dispatch point for all
emulated instructions
- cleaning up emulation dispatch in trap()
Also, while we're here, implement MIPS2 LL/SC/SYNC emulation for MIPS1.
Tested on r3k with and without SOFTFLOAT enabled.
* struct sigacts gets a new sigact_sigdesc structure, which has the
sigaction and the trampoline/version. Version 0 means "legacy kernel
provided trampoline". Other versions are coordinated with machine-
dependent code in libc.
* sigaction1() grows two more arguments -- the trampoline pointer and
the trampoline version.
* A new __sigaction_sigtramp() system call is provided to register a
trampoline along with a signal handler.
* The handler is no longer passed to sensig() functions. Instead,
sendsig() looks up the handler by peeking in the sigacts for the
process getting the signal (since it has to look in there for the
trampoline anyway).
* Native sendsig() functions now select the appropriate trampoline and
its arguments based on the trampoline version in the sigacts.
Changes to libc to use the new facility will be checked in later. Kernel
version not bumped; we will ride the 1.6C bump made recently.
performing the accesses, regardless of the size of the data type
requested. Useful for chips which require fixed-width accesses to all
registers.
Cast arguments printed using %lx to u_long all the time, not just
sometimes.
Include a few extra files here so they don't need to be included by the
files that include this one.
and rename TLB_SHUTDOWN and SOFT_RESET to TS and SR (the abbreviations
in the MIPS documentation).
XXX: this file really needs to be cleaned up one day...
when SA_SIGINFO is used. The IRIX process will hence find the expected
information using the third argument of the signal handler.
We do not provide code and siginfo yet.
ticks over at half the CPU clock speed, and set this flag for the known
CPUs with this behaviour. Better names for this flag gratefully accepted!
Also adjust comment about known R4000/R4400 revisions.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.

sequence using the reciprocal of the delay divisor to perform the

Set the cp0 compare register so that it doesn't trigger interrupts and
reset the cp0 count register in the hardclock interrupt handler.
and support routines for the Broadcom CFE (Common Firmware Environment).
This code is provided by the Broadband Processor Business Unit at
Broadcom Corp with minor updates by me.
- Move away from using CPUISMIPS3; use MIPS_HAS_R4K_MMU instead.
- Bump the Sysmap size a little for large-memory machines.
XXX: still need work, especially in pmap_procwr().
- Use a table-driven CPU detection algorithm instead of multiple
case statements.
- Add MIPS32/64 feature detection using the architected CP0 registers
(from Broadcom Corp).
- Call MD mips_machdep_cache_config() function if
__HAVE_MIPS_MACHDEP_CACHE_CONFIG is defined - used to set up the
L2 cache on some ports.
- Remove all mmu-related code that may use 32 register on mips32-style
implementatios and move them to mipsX_subr.S - which is then included
from mips{3,32,64,5900}_subr.S with various control defines enabled.
- Remove local cache instruction flags
- Add badaddr64 (from Broadcom Corp).
- Add mips32 and mips64 locore function prototypes.
- Add mips3_lw_a64() and mips3_sw_a64() for access data at any
64bit address (from Broadcom Corp).
- Add Broadcom and Sandcraft CPU company ids.
- Add XKPHYS macros (from Broadcom Corp).
- Add some r5900 register bit definitions.
- Add extra exception vector addresses for mips32/mips64 and r5900.
- Make the mips cp0 register definitions available from both asm and C.
- Add some Alchemy and Sandcraft CPU ids.
- Add r3000, tx39xx and r4x00 CPU revision ids.
- Remove defines for the number of TLBs on some CPUs.
- Add alignment-safe double and float unions.
- Use the above for the __infinity and __nan constants on all
architectures that use the standard ieee754 representation of
those constants.
- Add a single copy of various ieee754 math functions (frexp, isinf,
isnan, ldexp and modf) that had numerous duplicates among the
arch-specific directories.
- Use the above functions on all architectures where the generic C
versions where used. Architectures that had local assembly
routines are untouched (for those functions only).
Any problems reported by testers have been fixed, and massive
cross-compiling of kernels has shown that any problems that remain
with actually building kernels are not related to this.
not support a value (e.g., it's to be used as "options FOO" instead of
"options FOO=xxx"). options that take a value were converted to
defparam recently.
- minor whitespace & formatting cleanups
contain information suitable for allowing other parts of the kernel
to determine if a memory region is aligned to the largest data cache
line size present in the system.
Add a mips_dcache_compute_align() function which must be called whenever
one of the data cache line size variables is changed, in order to
compute mips_dcache_align and mips_dcache_align_mask.
