getting support for proper SMP ARMs, keeping non-functional support for
a seriously crippled not-really-SMP system is likely to cause more problems
than it's worth, even if it was fun for a while.
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.
in question, whereas the ARM code was using it to hold the model
identification. To fix this, rename:
ci_cpuid -> ci_arm_cpuid
ci_cputype -> ci_arm_cputype (for consistency)
ci_cpurev -> ci_arm_cpurev (ditto)
ci_cpunum -> ci_cpuid
This makes top(1) give correct CPU numbers in its "STATE" column (all 0 for
now).
and boot multi-user on a single-processor machine. Many of these changes
are wildly inappropriate for actual multi-processor operation, and correcting
this will be my next task.
The IOMD/VIDC combination is now moved to arch/arm/iomd together. These
files still need a lot of cleaning up :( .... esp. the RC7500 support that
is still dormant in it; this needs either to be removed or split out for
RC7500's ``VIDC'' video/audio variant.
Apart from the RC7500 support wich is still in arch/arm32 the
iomd,vidc,riscpc and podulebus subdirectories of arch/arm32 can be removed.
This split still uses some small parts of arch/arm32 .... those are the MI
parts that haven't been moved yet.
RiscPC/A7000 have been tested and confirmed to build as should NC.
