and support routines for the Broadcom CFE (Common Firmware Environment).
This code is provided by the Broadband Processor Business Unit at
Broadcom Corp with minor updates by me.
Any problems reported by testers have been fixed, and massive
cross-compiling of kernels has shown that any problems that remain
with actually building kernels are not related to this.
not support a value (e.g., it's to be used as "options FOO" instead of
"options FOO=xxx"). options that take a value were converted to
defparam recently.
- minor whitespace & formatting cleanups
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.
COP0_SYNC
In R5900 mtc0, tlbr, tlbp, tlbwi, tlbwr must be followed by sync.p.
if defined MIPS3_5900, COP0_SYNC is defined as sync.p. else nothing.
IPL_ICU_MASK
mask interrupt directly ICU instead of SR.IM.
I've added this feature to support software interrupt for R5900.
and this option may be useful for platform which has cascaded ICU.
use command line parameters to ld(1) instead to set the endian format.
Clean up some endian decisions in mips/conf/Makefile.mips.
Wrap some long lines.
(I have a nice 'install' target for cobalts here, but that only works there.
I guess I'll put that into htdocs now that the cobalt port uses Makefile.mips)
as hacked by mycroft.
- Use syscall_intern() to give a process a plain or fancy
syscall based on ktrace flags.
- Avoid copying from the trapframe into a local array as much
as possible.
Yields roughly 5% improvement on a 25MHz R3000 (DECstation 5000/200)
on a simple syscall benchmark.
There's still some work that can be done using __HAVE_MINIMAL_EMUL.
only allowing one mapping at a time instead of mapping uncached. Done
by removing conflicting mappings from the pmap when entering a new
mapping. UVM will remember and re-fault the requested page when needed
for the original mapping. Originally done to support our internal machine
that does not support uncached memory completely. Not enabled by default
currently. It may make sense to try on the cobalt or sgi ports.
Add ddb support for QED opcodes, fill in enough routines so "next" usually
works, kdbpoke support for any size. Add callback that ports can hook when
entering and leaving ddb. This can be used for things like turning
off watchdogs while in ddb.
