- Reduce available SPL levels for hardware devices to none, vm, sched, high.
- Acquire kernel_lock only for interrupts at IPL_VM.
- Implement threaded soft interrupts.
SEMMNI, SEMMNS, SEMUME and SHMMAXPGS.
They can be tweaked via sysctl now. Ports that were setting values on
them weren't touched, I only removed the ones that were commented out.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
need to understand the locking around that field. Instead of setting
B_ERROR, set b_error instead. b_error is 'owned' by whoever completes
the I/O request.
from doc/BRANCHES:
idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
debugging and its main use is in device drivers. Its used there to signal
that the flagged buffer has a special meaning or should be handled
differently.
OK'd by Bill Sudenmund on tech-kern.
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).

- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.
- Add COMPAT_15 to all the kernel that had COMPAT_14, for the sake of coherency
- Remove the only occurences of #ifdef COMPAT_15 in the tree: for the ARM
ports, COMPAT_15 was always used in conjunction with EXEC_AOUT. Only EXEC_AOUT
matters here.
This address kern/18407
an Amiga DMA controller, and #if 0'ed WD33C93 definitions that are duplicated
in sbicreg.h. uPD71071 definitions can stay for now, since they're not
actually useless even though they're unused.
we use the standard mode list from videomode.c rather than one generated
by makemodes.awk. This is less useful than it might be since without a useful
frame rate from the bootloader we're likely to end up choosing a screen mode
that's either flickery or too fast for the monitor (or DRAM bandwidth).
to RiscBSD and had been lurking in dark corners scaring people (mostly me)
for far too long. It will be missed, but not much, and I hope we can clear
up any fallout before 5.0.
While I'm in the area, also remove rpckbd(4), since pckbd(4) has
been supported on acorn32 for ages.
