The boot blocks do a primitive form of autoconfiguration. Duplicate some
of the old config strcutures for the benefit of the boot blocks; they
don't need something as flexible as the kernel does.
- Always ensure that RAW_PART ("c") can be opened.
- Disallow unused or non-existent partitions from being opened.
- Don't do bounds checking or partition translation on RAW_PART.
This is consistent with other disk drivers in the NetBSD source tree,
and fixes a condition where the user could not fix a corrupted disklabel
due to a bogus offset for partition "c".
- Always allow RAW_PART to be opened, regardless of the partition table.
- Never do partition translation on RAW_PART; it's always offset 0.
- Always make sure the disklabel is read from RAW_PART.
- Make *strategy() return values consistent.
This fixes a condition where a bogus partition table could be written
to the disk from SYS_INST, and the user had no way to rewrite with
a correct partition table, since RAW_PART would be invalid.
We're about 75% there. SCSI and HP-IB are not yet supported in a new
config kernel; some autoconfiguration hackery has to be done there, yet.
These changes are enough to network boot a diskless kernel.
New config glue is enabled with the "NEWCONFIG" kernel option. If that
option is not present, an old config kernel will be built. Any kernel
configured with config(8) will automatically pick up the NEWCONFIG
option from std.hp300.
dmacomputeipl(), which is called by drivers which use DMA once they've
hooked up their interrupts. This new function computes the appropriate
ipl to use for the DMA controller and (re-)establishes it's interrupt.
on indirect-config busses a (permanent) softc that they could share
between 'match' and 'attach' routines:
Define __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG so that old autoconfiguration
interfaces are used, until drivers are converted to use the new
interfaces (actually, converted back to use the _older_ interfaces)
which prohibit indirect configuration devices from receiving a softc
in their match routine that they can share with their attach routine.
Lets users over-ride with makeoptions COPTS="..." in kernel config files.
Leave `mandatory' flags (like -msoft-float which on m68k enforces no
FP in kernel) in CFLAGS.
