processors. Instead, allocate separate idle PCBs for them (including
the primary -- don't use proc0's for its idle context).
- Use SysValue to store the cpu_info for each processor.
overlap; don't require allocation from the dense extent if the PCI
memory address isn't mapped into dense space.
Also, make sure to return an error if a liner mapping is requested
and dense space is not available (not just not requested).
configuring w/o SIO broke compilation. I forget why, but there was at one
point (and may still be) a dependency between SIO and EISA. This change
just makes things compile sensibly again. It may make no sense to build
a kernel w/o sio in this case. I can't test this conveniently because I
haven't got a 4100 with a video card in it at the moment.
- Use explicit assembly; don't want the compiler optimizing things too
much here.
- Subtract 2 for each iteration of the loop, rather than 3. The loop
consists of only 2 instructions (even the C version compiled to a
loop of 2 instructions).
The latter change has squashed a fairly annoying timing bug in the
mii_bitbang module as used by the `ex' driver on my AlphaStation 500.
XXX delay() should maybe be rewritten again, to use the rpcc instruction.
- alpha_rpcc(), alpha_mb(), alpha_wmb() -- these are instructions, and
we win by inlining them: rpcc is generally used for profiling, and
the memory barriers really should execute as quickly as possible with
minimal side-effects (like additional loads/stores required to call the
functions!)
- alpha_pal_imb(), alpha_pal_rdps(), alpha_pal_swpipl(), alpha_pal_tbi(),
alpha_pal_whami() -- these are PALcode ops. We must specify some register
clobbers for these.
We have a very decent size savings as a result. My test system:
text data bss dec hex filename
2671724 235848 377016 3284588 321e6c /netbsd.bak
2617708 235736 377016 3230460 314afc /netbsd
Most of this comes from fewer register saves/restores around spl*() calls
(now that alpha_pal_rdps() and alpha_pal_swpipl() are inlined).
Note that alpha_pal_rdps() and alpha_pal_swpipl() remain in pal.s to
maintain binary compatibility with LKMs that may use spl*() functions.
add an IPI which causes the target CPU to perform AST processing when
it returns to userspace.
- Add a way to get/set a private pointer in the shared interrupt header.
longer need to lock the kernel pmap in pmap_kenter_pa() and pmap_kremove().
- Since locking the kernel pmap in interrupt context is no longer required,
don't go to splimp() when locking the kernel pmap.
- Implement a new pmap_remove() function, not yet enabled by default. It
is structured like pmap_protect, and should be *much* faster. This was
actually written quite some time ago, but never committed because it
didn't work properly. Given the recent bugfix to pmap_protect(), "duh,
of course it didn't work properly before...". It seems to work fine now
(have done several builds and run the UVM regression tests using the new
code), but it is currently run-time optional so that some performance
measurements can be easily run against the old and new code.
