valid bit. This is faster than the "unmap all" solution that were described
in that Mach paper _and_ it eliminates the need for checking the wired bit.
As a result of this; swapping started working again on vax :-)
page {0,1} base and length registers in the pmap structure. They will
be loaded in to the PCB when the process's address space is activated
by way of pmap_activate().
- Remove pmap_pinit() macro; it's now a real function.
- Prototypes for pmap_pinit(), pmap_activate(), pmap_deactivate().
- fix _C_LABEL so that it actually works.
- make __RENAME use _C_LABEL.
- fix __RENAME so that it expects an unquoted argument.
- fix __indr_reference and __warn_references so that they
supply their own final semicolon.
- define __warn_references to nothing if not GNU C (required
by the way it's used).
The __warn_references semicolon change has to be made
so that __warn_references can be defined into nothing.
(A ; all by itself isn't a great idea.) The __indr_reference
change was made for consistency.
- Map in all physical memory first in system space. This reduces
pmap_copy_page() and pmap_zero_page to 3 resp. 2 instructions.
- Have fized position user page tables. Makes the pv_table smaller
and all reverse references faster (and simpler).
- Remove the wiring code. Nobody doesn't even know what a DR32 is anymore.
- Simulate page reference bit by setting page invalid, as suggested by
Rich Draves in a paper for 1991 Mach Usenix Symposium.
This reduced the time spent in the pmap module to between 70-75% of
the previous; and made process startup _much_ faster.
Only assembly version for i386 bswap16 and bswap32 for now (bswap64 uses
bswap32). Contribution of assembly versions of these are welcome.
Add byte-swapping of ext2fs metadata for big-endian systems.
Tested on i386 and sparc.
msgbuf. Note that old 'dmesg' and 'syslogd' binaries will continue running,
though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of
the buffer, and will miss a few bytes at the end of the buffer.
on indirect-config busses a (permanent) softc that they could share
between 'match' and 'attach' routines:
Define __BROKEN_INDIRECT_CONFIG so that old autoconfiguration
interfaces are used, until drivers are converted to use the new
interfaces (actually, converted back to use the _older_ interfaces)
which prohibit indirect configuration devices from receiving a softc
in their match routine that they can share with their attach routine.
