There are still about 1600 left, but they have ',' or /* ... */
in the actual variable definitions - which my awk script doesn't handle.
There are also many that need () -> (void).
(The script does handle misordered arguments.)
- Reduce available SPL levels for hardware devices to none, vm, sched, high.
- Acquire kernel_lock only for interrupts at IPL_VM.
- Implement threaded soft interrupts.
This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
rather than spl_mask which is a saved value in splraise() and
splx() functions because the latter one is not always sync'ed with
current_spl_level and interrupt state could be mangled.
Okay'ed by chris@, and should close PR port-shark/22355.
Because pre-v6 ARM lacks support for an atomic compare-and-swap, we
implement _lock_cas() as a restartable atomic squence that is checked
in the IRQ handler right before AST processing. (This is safe because,
for all practical purposes, there are no SMP pre-v6 ARM systems.)
This can serve as a model for other non-MP platforms that lack the
necessary atomic operations for mutexes (SuperH, for example).
Upshots of this change:
- kmutex_t is now down to 8 bytes on ARM; about as good as we can get.
- ARM2 systems don't have to trap and emulate SWP or SWPB for mutexes.
The acorn26 port is not updated by this commit to do the LOCK_CAS_CHECK.
That is left as an exercise for the port maintainer.
