this insn is available only on ARM arch v3 and later (and 2a). We
don't expect to be using these ops in the kernel on processors too
old to have SWP, and for userland uses (in e.g. a pthread library),
the kernel will simply have to trap and emulate the insn (it needs
to be "atomic", so a kernel trap of some sort will be necessary on
such platforms anyway).
the Branch Target Buffer of the BPRD bit changes.
* Enable Branch Prediction on the XScale by default.
* Don't invalidate the Branch Target Buffer explicitly. the i80200
manual (section 5.1, Branch Target Buffer Operation) notes that
manual software management of the BTB is unnecessary; it is flushed
implicitly when:
* processor resets
* FCSE process ID is written
* I-cache is invalidated
* sa110_cache_purgeD() is the same as sa110_cache_cleanD() on the
SA-1 -- make it an alias.
* sa110_cache_syncI() and sa110_cache_purgeID() are identical to
sa110_cache_cleanD() on the SA-1, with the exception that the
I-cache must also be flushed. Save code duplication by moving
the I-cache flush before the D-cache clean and letting it fall
through.
* Define a CPWAIT macro as described in the i80200 manual and use it,
rather than replicating the code in a few places.
* The i80200 manual notes that the line-allocate operation used to
do global D$ clean does not actually perform a load/fill request
from external memory, and thus does not actually place valid data
in the cache lines allocated. Require that machine-dependent code
allocate an appropriately-sized chunk of unmapped VA space for the
global clean operation in order to avoid unpredictable results.
* The i80200 manual notes that the VA range for the Mini-Data global
clean (which *must* be mapped to physical memory) must be reserved
exclusively for cleaning the Mini-Data cache. Require that machine-
dependent code allocate an appropriately-sized chunk of memory for
this purpose.
pages, we use the standard (4K) page size as PAGE_SIZE. Make the
PAGE_SIZE related variables compile-time constants that reflect this.
Results in a bit over 2K worth of .text savings, and visibly better
code in the places that use PAGE_SIZE, etc.
DMA via the Secondary Inbound window, for now. Will probably
need to revisit this at some point.
Require that the board-specific i80312 front-end slice off a
subregion for the memory controller before calling i80312_attach(),
and fix a bug in the IQ80310 front-end that caused the Secondary
Inbound window to be configured incorrectly.
On platforms which load the kernel sans symbols directly from firmware
(possibly in e.g. S-Record format), call ddb_init() with empty arguments,
so that it will search any compiled in SYMTAB_SPACE. On all other platforms,
if __ELF__, also call ddb_init() with empty arguments until ELF bootloaders
which pass symbol information are ready.
just basic Inbound and Outbound window setup is done, PCI configuration
space access (not quite working yet), and I/O and Memory space routines
so far.
we need later in the code. This fixes a fatal kernel fault in
pmap_modified_emulation if a user application tries to access a kernel
address that is section-mapped.
Add a diagnostic that detects attempts to call pmap_kenter_pa with a
va that is section-mapped.
caching on for a page just because we are clearing the writable bit in
the PTE: this is incompatible with the way pmap_vac_me_harder works,
and the code in the modified emulation handler doesn't know about
recalculating the cachable attributes (nor should it, IMO).
Also, if we are invalidating a page, flush its TLB entry; for some
reason we were only doing this when clearing the Write or modified
bits.
These patches together seem to solve the random seg-faults that were
still occuring occasionally under heavy paging.
is higher than SPL_HIGH (maybe we should be fixing SPL_HIGH).
If IPL_STATCLOCK is defined, initialize spl_masks[_SPL_STATCLOCK] from
it; otherwise initialize use IPL_CLOCK.
the etc Makefile override that by putting USETOOLS into $.MAKEOVERRIDES
This way the default for kernel compiles is still to use the installed
toolchain instead of depending on $TOOLDIR. $TOOLDIR can be used by
simply adding USETOOLS=yes to the command line as usual.
Adjust each ports template to set the default no setting and also pull in
bsd.own.mk if they weren't already to ensure they'll build correctly
with the new toolchain setup.
