The original code lowers level 6 to 4, and if a
clock interrupt occurs in splzs (or similar) the
system may be in unpredictable state.
To do such a hack correctly, checking the original priority
and duplicated clock interrupts would be required.
For now, just disable the hack.
- Do not use clock interrupt for ms polling.
If the receiver already has datum, no further arrival of
data is possible and no interrupts will occur.
This change fixes problem that pressing key during boot
may sometimes disable the keyboard.
Remove unreferenced variable "in" in kbdcngetc().
"To fully support self-modifying code in any situation, it is imperative that
a CPUSHA intrcution is executed before the execution of the first self-modified
instruction. The CPUSHA instruction has the effect of ensuring that there is
no stale data iin memory, the pipeline is flushed, and instruction prefetches
are repeated and taken from external memory."
I verified that this is the only way (I can think of) to make the sigtramp
regression test work on 68040. doing cpushl dc; cinvl ic; over the affected
address range, then nop (to synchronize the pipeline) is not enough; apparently
the nop does not FLUSH the pipeline and prefetch...
Note that the 68060 UM has copied the above cited passage, but in fact this is
not true. This might be connected to the fact that the 68060 does ensure
memory access order under most conditions.
remove GENERIC.v6 file (as it is part of GENERIC now).
"faith" interface is commented out by default as it is not really for
general use.
IPsec items are commented out as well, though we can enable "options IPSEC"
without export-related issue ("options IPSEC" will enable authentication
portion only). We may need to think about it again.
if you have problem compiling with INET6 on archs I do not have access to,
please contact me.
XXX what to do with arch/arm32/SHARK{,.v6}?
that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.
This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX. This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.
