Revert the revert. Naturally, I considered OpenBSD and FreeBSD when I fixed
the incorrect use of the spl*() interface. The change I made is _required_
for both NetBSD _and_ OpenBSD, or the code won't even COMPILE except on
i386, and it is acceptable on FreeBSD. Your revert and mod rebroke it on
OpenBSD and tangled things up on NetBSD. It made no difference on FreeBSD.
In particular, there are 2,895 uses of splx() within the FreeBSD kernel,
and only a mere 21, that's "twenty one" uses of intrmask_t, and those are
almost exclusively in the guts of the interrupt implementation, _not_ in
the _use_ of the exported spl*() functions. It's perfectly OK to `int s
= spltty()' in a portable driver in FreeBSD.
For that matter, FreeBSD (-current at least) does not even *use* spl*()
any more and stubs them all out with inlines that do _nothing_ except return
0, making intrmask_t vs int _even less_ important there than it already
was.
I think it's great that you want to start hacking on the kernel, but do
note that this is certainly the most simple of the kernel interfaces. It
just gets worse from here. Be careful out there!
pci_attach_args *" instead of from four separate parameters which in
all cases were extracted from the same "struct pci_attach_args".
This both simplifies the driver api, and allows for alternate PCI
interrupt mapping schemes, such as one using the tables described in
the Intel Multiprocessor Spec which describe interrupt wirings for
devices behind pci-pci bridges based on the device's location rather
the bridge's location.
Tested on alpha and i386; welcome to 1.5Q
<vm/pglist.h> -> <uvm/uvm_pglist.h>
<vm/vm_inherit.h> -> <uvm/uvm_inherit.h>
<vm/vm_kern.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_extern.h>
<vm/vm_object.h> -> nothing
<vm/vm_pager.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_pager.h>
also includes a bunch of <vm/vm_page.h> include removals (due to redudancy
with <vm/vm.h>), and a scattering of other similar headers.
"off_t" and the return value is a "paddr_t" to allow mappings
at offsets past 2^31 bytes. Somewhat inspired by FreeBSD, which
only changed the offset to a "vm_offset_t".
Includes updates for the i386, pc532 and sh3 mmmmap from Jason Thorpe.
