additional processors are spun up on multiprocessor Alpha systems.
Now, each processor gets its own idle thread (the primary processor
uses proc0). This idle thread is used in switch_exit(), rather than
explicitly referencing proc0.
Also, make `curproc', `fpcurproc', and `curpcb' per-cpu values. This
required some data structure rearrangement; cpu info is now statically
allocated in the BSS, rather than via malloc(), and cpu_softc is gone.
(Modeled somewhat after NetBSD/sparc's multiprocessor info structures.)
I/O nodes. Previous code erroneously set it on CPU nodes only.
- In both the single- and multi-processor case, route all interrupts from
I/O nodes to the primary CPU, for now.
use by an error handler:
* There can be only one TurboLaser, and we'll overload it
* with a bitmap of found turbo laser nodes. Note that
* these are just the actual hard TL node IDS that we
* discover here, not the virtual IDs that get assigned
* to CPUs. During TLSB specific error handling we
* only need to know which actual TLSB slots have boards
* in them (irrespective of how many CPUs they have).
into the integer tlsb_found a bit map of found nodes and export
it to the rest of the kernel. This is so that at machine check
time when we're doing some TLSB/KFTXX error handling we don't
have to attempt a badaddr to look at all TLSB nodes (which will
just be too sad to try...).
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
