Fix botch on my part and make the IPL_* match reality on VAX.
Redefine spl macro using the symbolic IPL_ instead of being hardcoded.
Move schedsoftnet, schedsoftclock from <machine/cpu.h> to <machine/intr.h>
Add a _setsirr macro for schedsoft*.
Add softintr function and framework.
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.
made a whole bunch of annoying bugs disappear; mostly depending on
bad use of NBPG in non-MD code. The VAX port was the only port that
used this historical "feature".
The CL* macros should probably go away totally, there is no reason
at all to keep them.
- Map in all physical memory first in system space. This reduces
pmap_copy_page() and pmap_zero_page to 3 resp. 2 instructions.
- Have fized position user page tables. Makes the pv_table smaller
and all reverse references faster (and simpler).
- Remove the wiring code. Nobody doesn't even know what a DR32 is anymore.
- Simulate page reference bit by setting page invalid, as suggested by
Rich Draves in a paper for 1991 Mach Usenix Symposium.
This reduced the time spent in the pmap module to between 70-75% of
the previous; and made process startup _much_ faster.
msgbuf. Note that old 'dmesg' and 'syslogd' binaries will continue running,
though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of
the buffer, and will miss a few bytes at the end of the buffer.
execpt without quotes. meant to be __CONCAT()ted for easy #includes
of machine-dependent headers for MI code (e.g. for the MI ISA/EISA/PCI/TC
bus code).
arguments are really off_t's (e.g. to btodb), then you can lose
information. This was the "> 4G file systems don't work" bug; physio
uses btodb, which was broken.
