it to determine the boot device: mvme68k, pc532, macppc, ofppc. Those
platforms should be changed to use device_register(). In the mean time,
those ports defined __BROKEN_DK_ESTABLISH.
contains the values __SIMPLELOCK_LOCKED and __SIMPLELOCK_UNLOCKED, which
replace the old SIMPLELOCK_LOCKED and SIMPLELOCK_UNLOCKED. These files
are also required to supply inline functions __cpu_simple_lock(),
__cpu_simple_lock_try(), and __cpu_simple_unlock() if locking is to be
supported on that platform (i.e. if MULTIPROCESSOR is defined in the
_KERNEL case). Change these functions to take an int * (&alp->lock_data)
rather than the struct simplelock * itself.
These changes make it possible for userland to use the locking primitives
by including <machine/lock.h>.
Unfortunately, the Cobalt firmware seems to fail loading kernels larger
than about 2.5 megs before compression, so without a boot loader, this
is a rather amputated GENERIC.
- Change comments on cpu_startup() so as what it does (XXX found mostly
common across ports).
- Retain UNIX heritage of /* Good {morning,afternoon,evening,night} */.
cpu_fork() mistakenly created processes forked by proc0, including
kthreads, in splhigh condition, because [1] proc0's PCB was zero
cleared during initialization, and [2] value 0 in status register
field made processes to have splhigh condition when CPU tick was
assigned for them. This mostly doesn't matter as forked processes
dive immediately into user mode through proc_trampoline code path,
however, kthreads never do that and remain in splhigh.
