which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.
Follows recent discussion on tech-kern@
clean up some other stuff along the way, including:
- use m68k/cacheops.*, remove duplicates from cpu.h.
- centralize a few declarations in (all the copies of) cpu.h.
- define M68K_VAC on platforms which have a VAC.
- switch the sun platforms to the (now common) proc_trampoline().
- do the phys_map thang on the sun platforms too, no reason not to.
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.
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.
which are IIcx and IIx machines with not much RAM, respectively.
The PUMA config is configured somewhat optimally for one of Allen's
Quadras but doesn't do anything special as compared to SMALLRAM.
Note:
(1) Character device major number chages to 49 from 48(in my original
code). So it is necessary to rebuild device files.
(2) Must use Booter 2.0.0a10 or later.
(3) Default mode is cpu busy wait. It is defined by flags 0x1000.
It will be more slow than before.
No flags means hardware interrupt mode. But it might be able to
get no interrupts.
Support machines:
(1) Quadra 630 series
(2) PowerBook 150
Non tested machine:
(1) PowerBook 190 series

* Pull in dev/mii/files.mii from conf/files, rather than playing
the magic "files include order" dance in N machine-dependent
configuration definitions.
