Add <powerpc/cpuset.h> (for mpc85xx pmap).
Add some initial MP code for mpc85xx
Rework ipi code to be common across all ppcs
Change PPC to keep curlwp in %r13 while in the kernel.
Move astpending from cpu_info to mdlwp
Improve cpu_need_resched to be more MP friendly.
Add fast softint support for PowerPC (though only booke uses it).
Redo FPU/VEC support and add e500 SPE support.
Rework trap/intrs to use a common trapframe format.
Support SOFTFLOAT (no hardfloat or fpu emulation) for BookE.
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.
from doc/BRANCHES:
idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
Idle call that. Add a ci_idlespin function pointer to cpu_info.
Update INIT_CPUINFO to initialize it to a naked 'blr' instruction.
In oea/cpu_subr.c, add cpu_idlespin and make ci_idlespin point to it.
a pointer to current cpu's cpu_info structure. Use cpu_info for
intstk,intr_depth,still_stk,idle_pcb,curpcb,curlwp,etal even on
non-MULTIPROCESSOR machines. Add common macros GET_CPUINFO and
INIT_CPUINFO to get and initialize the cpu_info struct on startup. Make
ibm4xx use the standard <powerpc/frame.h>. Use IFRAME_xx in ibm4xx
trap_subr.S instead of explicit magic offsets. Move INTSTK and SPILLSTK
to std.<platform>. Change faultbuf to a struct instead of an array.
On MPC6XX cpus, stop using the vector page for temporary space and use
reserved space in cpu_info.
