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.
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.
file, <arm/cpuconf.h>, which pulls in "opt_cputypes.h" and then defines
the following:
* CPU_NTYPES -- now many CPU types are configured into the kernel. What
you really want to know is "== 1" or "> 1".
* Defines ARM_ARCH_2, ARM_ARCH_3, ARM_ARCH_4, ARM_ARCH_5, depending
on which ARM architecture versions are configured (based on CPU_*
options). Also defines ARM_NARCH to determins how many architecture
versions are configured.
* Defines ARM_MMU_MEMC, ARM_MMU_GENERIC, ARM_MMU_XSCALE depending on
which classes of ARM MMUs are configured into the kernel, and ARM_NMMUS
to determine how many MMU classes are configured.
Remove the needless inclusion of "opt_cputypes.h" in several places.
Convert remaining users to <arm/cpuconf.h>.
Note that this has been compiled on some systems, cats, IQ80310, IPAQ, netwinder and shark (note that shark's build is currently broken due to other reasons), but only actually run on cats.
Shark doesn't make use of the functionality as I believe there has to be a correlation between OFW and the kernel tables so that calls into OFW work.
MACHINE_ARCH since <arm/param.h> already sets it correctly to "arm".
* For platforms which are not yet ELF, defined MACHINE_ARCH to "arm32"
if __ELF__ is not defined by the C preprocessor.
* In <arm/param.h>, clarify the rules about when MACHINE and
MACHINE_ARCH are defined, and to what. Also, for ELF platforms,
int the non-_KERNEL case, force both MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH to "arm",
rather than allowing platform-specifc code to define either.
* Use a common set of exception handlers for all arm32 platforms.
* New FIQ framework based on discussions with Ben Harris, shared
between arm26 and arm32.
<arm/arm32/vmparam.h> (mostly the stuff that's tied to the pmap
implementation).
- Since the MMU definitions in pte.h are specific to ARM processors
that support 32-bit mode, move pte.h to <arm/arm32/pte.h>.
- Make the Netwinder startup file build again (use PT_B|PT_C, rather
than PT_CACHEABLE, since the latter expands to a variable these days).
model in use for a given platform (__PROG26 vs __PROG32), then pulls
in <arm/types.h>. Change each ARM port to pull in <arm/arm26/types.h>
or <arm/arm32/types.h> as appropriate. Change all references to PROG26
and PROG32 to __PROG26 and __PROG32. Eliminate the opt_progmode.h
header file.
Improved locking (not that we actually use it on a uniprocessor, but one day :)
Removed unneeded splvm's
tweaked pmap_clean_page code to only flush the cache if the page is mapped in the current pmap (based on diff from richard E)
Adopted pv entry allocation mechanism from i386.
Laid framework for returning ptp's when we've finished with them rather than holding onto them till the process exits.
ptp's are now allocated with a uvm object for the pmap, means that we can walk a list to free them off in pmap_release, until they get freed off by pmap_remove.
Also implemented a page zeroing function when the processor is idling. Note that hpcarm may wish to disable this.
I believe this code to be stable, if anyone has any problems please shout up.
each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
