It is a layer to make it possible to have loadable PCI device drivers.
First you load (with symbols) the pcilkm module, then you can load PCI
drivers that have been compiled to work with pcilkm.
Two examples are provided. 'pcienum', the first one, is a simple
demonstration of how to use pcilkm: it is the basic skeleton of a PCI
driver, and will attach at load time to all PCI devices known to the
system.
The second example 'auich' demonstrates how simple it is to use an
existing driver as a LKM. It simply includes the code for auich(4) and
then adds the necessary pcilkm logic. However there are some drawbacks
that are described in the README file.
and tweak lkminit_*.c (where applicable) to call them, and to call
sysctl_teardown() when being unloaded.
This consists of (1) making setup functions not be static when being
compiled as lkms (change to sys/sysctl.h), (2) making prototypes
visible for the various setup functions in header files (changes to
various header files), and (3) making simple "load" and "unload"
functions in the actual lkminit stuff.
linux_sysctl.c also needs its root exposed (ie, made not static) for
this (when built as an lkm).
It should only be used by the calling function to create further nodes
in the same function, and of course to save the MIB number, which is what
is done now.
Correct a stupid bug in the ethernet address parsing code. <ashamed face>
* DPSRCS contains extra dependencies, but is _NOT_ added to CLEANFILES.
This is a change of behaviour. If a Makefile wants the clean semantics
it must specifically append to CLEANFILES.
Resolves PR toolchain/5204.
* To recap: .d (depend) files are generated for all files in SRCS and DPSRCS
that have a suffix of: .c .m .s .S .C .cc .cpp .cxx
* If YHEADER is set, automatically add the .y->.h to DPSRCS & CLEANFILES
* Ensure that ${OBJS} ${POBJS} ${LOBJS} ${SOBJS} *.d depend upon ${DPSRCS}
* Deprecate the (short lived) DEPENDSRCS
Update the various Makefiles to these new semantics; generally either
adding to CLEANFILES (because DPSRCS doesn't do that anymore), or replacing
specific .o dependencies with DPSRCS entries.
Tested with "make -j 8 distribution" and "make distribution".
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
- allow vnddetach() to return EBUSY if any vnd's are currently initialised.
lkm:
- add new 'dev' directory, initially with just a 'vnd' LKM. for now, the
vnd lkm driver requests 4 devices....
XXX: vnd should be converted to a psuedo-device that creates & deletes
instances of itself (vnd0, vnd1, etc) when vnconfig -c/-u are called,
then the vnd lkm driver can not be limited to '4' by default.
this gives:
* linux sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) gives correct value for linux binaries (hz)
even if hz != 100
* glibc gets proper information on real/effective uid and enables
secure mode for suid binaries

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.
