Sun, 15 Jul 2012 10:56:50 +0000, excepting the kernel version bump.
First step in reverting regressions to ata(4) subsystem during the addition of
port multiplier support.
Prefix the DRIVE_ and DRIVET_ constants from atavar.h with ATA_.
Don't use an enum for drive_type - you don't know how big it will be.
Move driver_type to avoid implicit structure padding (esp on arm).
This change is purely lexical and mechanical.
Update to 6.99.9 - this wasn't done when the SATA PMP changes
were made - I'm sure they warranted a bump.
1) Move core entropy-pool code and source/sink/sample management code
to sys/kern from sys/dev.
2) Remove use of NRND as test for presence of entropy-pool code throughout
source tree.
3) Remove use of RND_ENABLED in device drivers as microoptimization to
avoid expensive operations on disabled entropy sources; make the
rnd_add calls do this directly so all callers benefit.
4) Fix bug in recent rnd_add_data()/rnd_add_uint32() changes that might
have lead to slight entropy overestimation for some sources.
5) Add new source types for environmental sensors, power sensors, VM
system events, and skew between clocks, with a sample implementation
for each.
ok releng to go in before the branch due to the difficulty of later
pullup (widespread #ifdef removal and moved files). Tested with release
builds on amd64 and evbarm and live testing on amd64.
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.)
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.
- rather than embedding bufq_state in driver softc,
have a pointer to the former.
- move bufq related functions from kern/subr_disk.c to kern/subr_bufq.c.
- rename method to strategy for consistency.
- move some definitions which don't need to be exposed to the rest of kernel
from sys/bufq.h to sys/bufq_impl.h.
(is it better to move it to kern/ or somewhere?)
- fix some obvious breakage in dev/qbus/ts.c. (not tested)
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
the MCA DMA controller access. This also means we gain >16MB RAM support.
While here, overhaul the driver to saner state, especially:
* simplify and clean the attach code a lot, and support the 'drive'
locator
* pass proper dev_t to readdisklabel() - formerly, the passed value was
completely broken (used incorrect major and wrong minor), but worked
by accident
* worker thread is now spawned per controller, rather than per-drive;
i/o cannot be done concurrently by different drivers, only one
i/o can be pending at any time
* simplify the command queue code, just sleep appropriately when
!poll case, g/c 'async' code formerly needed, move the bio code
from ed_mca.c to edc_mca.c:edc_bio()
* put all string arrays used by edc_dump_status_block() within #ifdef EDC_DEBUG,
and use numbers instead if it's not defined; this cuts object size by 5KB
* other misc cleanups
and for initial autoconf probes; the latter eliminates need for
deferred configuration (and makes dmesg a bit nicer).
g/c EDF_IODONE flag - protect against interrupt by calling tsleep()
at splbio in worker thread
g/c unneeded stuff, improve some autoconf messages
