isa_dmamap_create() calls to their open/close entrypoints. This worked
with some luck, but broke on i386 when _bus_dmamap_create started
to allocate bounce buffers upfront, since memory below 16M may well
not be available when the sound devices is opened for the Nth time.
To fix this, create a new simple interface, isa_drq_alloc/isa_drq_free,
wrappers around already existing bitmask macros. These are expected
to be used before an isa_dmamap_create call, and after an
isa_dmamap_destroy call, respectively. For the sb and ad1848 drivers,
they're deferred until open/close.
All isa_dmamap_create calls can now use BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW and be done
at attach time.
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
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.
configuration of devices logically attached to the ISA bus:
* Change the isa_attach_args to have arrays of io, mem, irq, drq
resources.
* Add a "pnpnames" and a linked list of "pnpcompatnames" to the
isa_attach_args. If either of these members are non-NULL,
direct configuration of the bus is being performed. Add an
ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() macro to test for this.
* Drivers are not allowed to modify the isa_attach_args unless
direct configuration is not being performed and the probe fucntion
is returning success.
* Adapt device drivers -- currently, all driver probe routines return
"no match" if ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() evaluates to true.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
Instead, print a diagnostic and return. (Some drivers do this already.)
Also, normalize the diagnostic message, and fix some places where the
printfs were getting ugly.
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
round: moving the drivers into a machine-independent directory.
Some drivers (e.g. fd.c) not moved because they use other pc features (e.g.
CMOS settings), and none of the non-driver files moved, because they're
still pretty much PC specific. eventually (when other ports with ISA
busses really start using this code), more 'high-level' ISA support will
live here.
