- 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.
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.
in preparation for future mvmeppc and mvme88k ports.
This needs a bit if tidying up to make it trully shareable, which will
happen as the new mvme ports are added.
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
and attach it as `timekeeper0 at mainbus0'.
Use the MI mk48txx nvram/rtc access functions instead of home-grown
versions.
It should now be very easy to add a character device for the benefit
of userland access to NVRAM.
hardware-assisted soft interrupts on all boards.
(Note: VMEChip2-less 162/172 not yet tested)
This greatly simplifies the `rei' path and allows
interrupt nesting to be tracked somewhat more easily.
As a result we now have a working CLKF_INTR() macro
and can detect uvm_fault() being called from an interrupt
(although there may still be a very short race detecting
the latter; need to investigate further).
CPU support taken from a combination of NetBSD/amiga and NetBSD/x68k.
At this time, MVME-172 works but MVME-177 is untested. Since the '177
is otherwise identical to the MVME-167, this should *just work*.
Currently, the major onboard devices are supported (disk, network,
rs232 and VMEbus). However, work is still need to support the remaining
devices (eg. IndustryPack sites).
These boards are available with a dazzling array of build options. At
this time, the following options are *required*:
o Real floating point hardware (the 68LC040 model isn't tested),
o The VMEchip2 must be present,
o If offboard VMEbus RAM is not present, at least 8MB of onboard
RAM is required.
o Even if offboard VMEbus RAM *is* present, at least 4MB of onboard
RAM is required. (Boards with 1 or 2MB onboard RAM *can* be
supported with offboard RAM, but not without some funky values in
the VMEbus Master mapping registers.)
There is no support for boards other than those in the -LX 200/300 series.
These changes add support for:
o The MI VMEbus framework on both MVME147 and MVME167.
o Enhancements to the existing MD bus_space(9) implementation.
o Most of the bus_dma(9) API.
so that the right entries get added to dev_name2blk[]. Needed for / on RAID.
(Whoops! I missed checking these in when adding the RAID_AUTOCONFIG stuff.)
(currently only CD-ROM drives on i386). The sys/dev/scsipi system provides 2
busses to which devices can attach (scsibus and atapibus). This needed to
change some include files and structure names in the low level scsi drivers.
