to zero page, and it branches to either the rx or tx handler. My intention
is that the tx handler should switch to the rx one the moment it finishes,
without needing a downgrade, which I hope will get rid of the start-of-frame
rx overruns I'm seeing.
While I'm here, move the constants describing the shape of the FIQ state
structures out of if_ecavar.h and into genassym.cf where they belong.
kernels as also ELF ones. Also cleaned up the code a bit and removed a
bunch of errors in the ELF loading code... no wonder it didn't work ! ... I
tried to squeeze about 8000 bytes in one 4096 byte page resulting in a
corrupted bss.
format specific.
Struct emul has a e_setregs hook back, which points to emulation-specific
setregs function. es_setregs of struct execsw now only points to
optional executable-specific setup function (this is only used for
ECOFF).
complete for some reason, we defer it for a bit and then try again. This
gets ping down to 0% packet loss.
Of course, ping _should_ have been at 0% packet loss anyway, and that's the
next thing to deal with.
-remove the check for i810's internal graphics completely: we'll attach
AGP whether in GFX or AGP mode anyway, and the SMRAM register test
was of questionable value (should have masked with 0xc0, but even then
the builtin graphics appeared enabled although I used an external
PCI card)
worked out by observing RISC iX's behaviour, so it may be technically
wrong. The only implementations of IP-over-Econet for which I've got
sources don't support broadcasts.
Tested using broadcast ping from RISC iX to NetBSD, and using rwhod.
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
occur if SPDB_CONF (and hence DEBUG). also convert the panic in
pci_conf_write() to a SPDB_CONF warning and a return.
this cleans up pcictl(8) support.
