we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
canonicalise several of the ipf option segments in various files
(this mostly means adding commented out IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK,
or adding commented or uncommented IPFILTER_LOG or IPFILTER_LOOKUP
option statements.)
i built about 20 of these kernels to check, but not all of them.
- Replace most remaining uses of l_addr with uvm_lwp_getuarea() or lwp_getpcb().
- Amend assembly in ports where it accesses PCB via struct user.
- Rename L_ADDR to L_PCB in few places. Reduce sys/user.h inclusions.
There are still about 1600 left, but they have ',' or /* ... */
in the actual variable definitions - which my awk script doesn't handle.
There are also many that need () -> (void).
(The script does handle misordered arguments.)
phases, so move the initialization of the ksyms mutex back into main via
a function called ksyms_init. Rename the existing (but quite different)
ksyms_init* variations into ksyms_addsyms_elf() and ksyms_addsyms_explicit()
and adapt machdep code accordingly.
doshutdownhooks(9): shutdown hooks registered by shutdownhook_establish(9)
expect to be called with interrupts disabled, but shutdown hooks
registered with pmf_device_register1(9) expect to be called with
interrupts enabled. So I have made two changes:
1 Do not call pmf_system_shutdown() from doshutdownhooks(). Instead,
change every call to doshutdownhooks() to a call to doshutdownhooks()
followed by a call to pmf_system_shutdown(). No functional change
is intended by this change.
2 Make i386 re-enable interrupts briefly while it calls
pmf_system_shutdown(). I leave it to others either to fix the
other ports, or to factor out some MI shutdown code, as joerg@
suggests, and fix that. Note that a functional change *is* intended
by this change.
I hope that this patch will stop us from flip-flopping between
calling doshutdownhooks() and pmf_system_shutdown() sometimes with
and sometimes without interrupts enabled.
Make all the kernels that currently include their corresponding GENERIC.local
file use the cinclude directive instead of include. This way config(1) will
not complain if the file cannot be found.
After doing this, remove the GENERIC.local files from the repository so that
the user will not see modified files during updates, and local changes to
them cannot end up in the repository by mistake.
Discussed in tech-kern@ earlier this month. No strong objections.
- 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.
- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2006/07/01/0000.html
- 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.

Split code to handle on-chip rtc into a separate driver
Eliminate all todr code from clock.c
Move __HAVE_GENERIC_TODR to sh3/include/types.h
Somehow I managed to forget to commit mmeye changes.

This allows us to convert aucom to just another com attachment, and cleanup
some code in the com_arbus.c.
Additionally, we use a common com_cleanup routine rather than having a
zillion copies of it in the attachment points.
This has been tested on a number architectures, and it has been shown to get
close to comparable performance when COM_REGMAP is defined, and comparable
when it is not defined.
Approved by core@. Fixes PR port-evbmips/32362.
