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.
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.
and place the definition in <machine/types.h>. This can now be used
as a flag to indicate whether or not <machine/intr.h> can be included
to get the generic soft interrupt API.
to become idle; it actually doesn't matter as the chip takes care of
this for us. It would also spin endlessly in certain circumstances
during shutdown.
While I'm here, (finally) add code to allow sending BREAK characters.
when deciding if the baud-rate should be changed. (Spotted by Bruce Martin)
Also fix the mask used when setting the Rx FIFO threshold to zero. I don't
yet understand how the Rx side worked with the code as it was. ;-}
was deasserted and we wanted to change parameters to -crtscts
This effectively stalled the transmitter since with TS_BUSY set
we only change parameters during the Tx interrupt handler.
