way identcpu.c and machdep.c are not cluttered with foreign code.
The driver is built by default as before, but the sysctl subtree will
only be created if longrun is detected and not always as the old code
did. This matches what the FreeBSD code does.
Ok by christos@.
instead of doing it in syscall_intern().
Note that syscall_intern() must still be called when the flags change
since many ports use a different copy of the syscall entry code when
tracing is enabled.
- atomic_cas_ni() does an implicit membar_exit()
- all other atomic operations do an implicit membar_sync()
While this might seem kind of arbitrary it's the basis for some important
optimizations.
them in the mi "files" file, and remove include statements from md files.
These shouldn't pull in additional kernel code when not in use, so it
shouldn't do any harm except a risk of namespace collisions which
should be easy to fix.
of xentools3.
XXX ignore those in Makefile.ioctl-c, they don't compile properly outside
of the Xen context and the ioctls from xenio.h conflicts with
soundcard.h
Instead of passing the (un)real system call code and syscall table pointer,
just pass the number of arguments - which is what ktrace really wants.

- All three functions are included in the kernel by default.
They call a backend function cpu_in_cksum after possibly
computing the checksum of the pseudo header.
- cpu_in_cksum is the core to implement the one-complement sum.
The default implementation is moderate fast on most platforms
and provides a 32bit accumulator with 16bit addends for L32 platforms
and a 64bit accumulator with 32bit addends for L64 platforms.
It handles edge cases like very large mbuf chains (could happen with
native IPv6 in the future) and provides a good base for new native
implementations.
- Modify i386 and amd64 assembly to use the new interface.
This disables the MD implementations on !x86 until the conversion is
done. For Alpha, the portable version is faster.
enabling it. Explicitly initialise LINT0 as ExtInt and LINT1 as NMI,
the platform default. Mask the NMIs on the application processors and
mask the ExtInt if a IOAPIC was found.
With this patch, "disable ioapic" is supposed to work and it will allow
enabling the local APIC on all systems that have one to gain e.g. the
better clock interrupt.
(domU only). PAE support is enabled by 'options PAE', see the new XEN3PAE_DOMU
and INSTALL_XEN3PAE_DOMU kernel config files.
See the comments in arch/i386/include/{pte.h,pmap.h} to see how it works.
In short, we still handle it as a 2-level MMU, with the second level page
directory being 4 pages in size. pmap switching is done by switching the
L2 pages in the L3 entries, instead of loading %cr3. This is almost required
by Xen, which handle the last L2 page (the one mapping 0xc0000000 - 0xffffffff)
in a very special way. But this approach should also work for native PAE
support if ever supported (in fact, the pmap should almost suport native
PAE, what's missing is bootstrap code in locore.S).
elansc(4).
elanpex(4) is for PCI exception reporting. I've already found some
kernel bugs by reading the exceptions reported. Beware that it
will spam the console a lot while the kernel and pcictl(8) probe
non-existing addresses in PCI configuration space.
elanpar(4) protects the kernel text from writes by the CPU and by
PCI bus masters. As you might guess, this is not compatible with
setting breakpoints using a debugger; detach the device using
'drvctl -d elanpar0' before you try to set breakpoints. In the
future, I hope to extend elanpar(4) to provide general-purpose RAM
write-protection.
which we ought to never do. If we have not hooked IRQ 13, we do
not need any resources in npx_softc to handle numeric coprocessor
exceptions, so let npx@isa detach.
- use a hash rather than SPLAY trees.
SPLAY tree is a wrong algorithm to use here.
will be revisited if it slows down anything other than
micro-benchmarks.
- optimize the single mapping case (it's a common case) by
embedding an entry into mdpage.
- don't keep a pmap pointer as it can be obtained from ptp.
(discussed on port-i386 some years ago.)
ideally, a single paddr_t should be enough to describe a pte.
but it needs some more thoughts as it can increase computational
costs.
- pmap_enter: simplify and fix races with pmap_sync_pv.
- don't bother to lock pm_obj[i] where i > 0, unless DIAGNOSTIC.
- kill mp_link to save space.
- add many KASSERTs.
'mbr_com0' assumes the BIOS has initialised the baud rate (etc)
'mbr_com0_9600' initialises the rate to 9600
Both have the functionality from 'mbr_ext' (ie they can boot from an
extended partition).
As compiled, the io_address for the serial port is taken from BIOS data.
(this should keep tls@ happy!)
cpu_offline. Use this on amd64/i386 to force a FPU save. As this was
triggered by npxsave_cpu/fpusave_cpu not working for a different CPU,
remove the cpu_info argument and adjust npxsave_*/fpusave_* to use bool
for the save.
