To make this work, we now have to use separate handler lists for hardware
and software interrupts as the soft interrupt handlers do not return
an `interrupt handled' status.
Thanks to Matt Fredette for providing an initial set of patches on port-sparc.
given that PROM maps just 4 or 16 this is not going to be a bottle
neck). Doesn't really affect normal kernels, need it for the changed
kernel base address (uncommitted) hack for broken javastation OFW.
Ok by pk.
raise the ipl in the interrupt handlers to the appropriate level. This avoids
interrupt handler interference if one of the devices actually interrupts at
a lower hardware level than the maximum level assined to a device class.
Based on code from Art Grabowski in openbsd.
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.
perform the translation and recursion if t->ranges != NULL. Make

counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
how many CPU types are configured into the kernel. Then, use this
information to define the CPU predicate macros according to the
following rules:
1. If support for a CPU type is not configured into the kernel,
then the test is always false.
2. Otherwise, if only one CPU type is configured into the kernel,
then the test is always true.
3. Otherwise, we have to reference the cputyp variable.
Use a similar strategy for short-cutting the page size related
definitions.
as (CPU_ISSUN4 || CPU_ISSUN4C) and (CPU_ISSUN4C || CPU_ISSUN4M),
respectively. The compiler can still optimize as desired by expressing
them this way, and it simplifies adding new tests.
While here, just remove CPU_ISSUN4MOR4U; it's not used by anything.
