syscall/trap entry, eliminating a test+branch on every syscall/trap.
This wasn't possible in the 3.99.x timeframe when l->l_cred came about
because there wasn't a reliable/timely way to force an ONPROC LWP running on
a remote CPU into the kernel (which is just about the only new thing in
this scheme).
Plus a handful of others that I'm familiar with. Lots of special-
purpose kernels should probably have this too but I'm not going
through all the arm, mips, and ppc evaluation board kernels to see
which ones are relevant.
Omitted from systems I know to be very small:
- sun2/GENERIC
- dreamcast/GENERIC
Feel free to remove it from others that need to be kept smaller.
Compile-tested a few of these just in case:
- alpha/GENERIC
- amd64/GENERIC
- evbmips/OCTEON
- i386/GENERIC
- riscv/GENERIC
PR kern/29702
- Enable UFS_DIRHASH if the architecture or kernel model specific config
file can use 128MB of RAM or more.
- Remove experimental tag from UFS_DIRHASH; it's been with RUMP kernel
and by a number of NetBSD developers for years.
- Add LFS_DIRHASH if LFS was enabled.
- Be somewhat consistent with FS options order.
Simplify and make extensible the config_search() / config_found() /
config_attach() interfaces: rather than having different variants for
which arguments you want pass along, just have a single call that
takes a variadic list of tag-value arguments.
Adjust all call sites:
- Simplify wherever possible; don't pass along arguments that aren't
actually needed.
- Don't be explicit about what interface attribute is attaching if
the device only has one. (More simplification.)
- Add a config_probe() function to be used in indirect configuiration
situations, making is visibly easier to see when indirect config is
in play, and allowing for future change in semantics. (As of now,
this is just a wrapper around config_match(), but that is an
implementation detail.)
Remove unnecessary or redundant interface attributes where they're not
needed.
There are currently 5 "cfargs" defined:
- CFARG_SUBMATCH (submatch function for direct config)
- CFARG_SEARCH (search function for indirect config)
- CFARG_IATTR (interface attribte)
- CFARG_LOCATORS (locators array)
- CFARG_DEVHANDLE (devhandle_t - wraps OFW, ACPI, etc. handles)
...and a sentinel value CFARG_EOL.
Add some extra sanity checking to ensure that interface attributes
aren't ambiguous.
Use CFARG_DEVHANDLE in MI FDT, OFW, and ACPI code, and macppc and shark
ports to associate those device handles with device_t instance. This
will trickle trough to more places over time (need back-end for pre-OFW
Sun OBP; any others?).
cached value will do, or if the very latest total must be fetched. It can
be called thousands of times a second and fetching the totals impacts not
only the calling LWP but other CPUs doing unrelated activity in the VM
system.
Background:
- All m68k ports have fixed PAGE_SIZE value in their kernels,
but each port uses different PAGE_SIZE value (4096 or 8192)
due to historical reasons.
- Currently module(7) binaries are built per each port so
all m68k kernel sources don't support run-time variable PAGE_SIZE.
- MI <uvm/uvm_param.h> assumes that the port supports a variable
PAGE_SIZE on module(7) builds if both MAX_PAGE_SIZE and MIN_PAGE_SIZE
are defined and they have different values.
- On the other hand, jemalloc(3) checks MAX_PAGE_SHIFT in
src/external/bsd/jemalloc/include/jemalloc/internal/jemalloc_internal_defs.h
for internal optimization.
- m68k ports share userland binaries (especially pkgsrc binaries)
among all ports, so we need to define MAX_PAGE_SHIFT as 13 to
support m68k ports where PAGE_SIZE==8192.
(though this would affect only if static binaries built on
4k page hosts are executed on 8k page hosts)
To solve these inconsistency on PAGE_SIZE definitions,
we should have an independent PAGE_SIZE related definitions
for userland, but it requires major reorganization.
For now (especially for netbsd-9) we define MAX/MIN PAGE_SIZE and
PAGE_SHIFT values in <m68k/vmparam.h> only in !defined(_KERNEL) case.
Discussed on source-changes-d@ and tech-kern@ with christos@ and thorpej@:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes-d/2020/01/thread1.html#012035https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2020/01/thread1.html#025954
Should be pulled up to netbsd-9.
- Remove all code that should be MI, leaving the bare minimum under arch/.
- Make the required actions very explicit.
- Pass in LWP pointer for convenience.
- When a trap is required on another CPU, have the IPI set it locally.
- Expunge cpu_did_resched().
On ports without a GENERIC kernel config enable in individul files, e.g evbmips.
Omit on:
atari, dreamcast, emips, epoc32, evbppc/VIRTEX*, ia64, luna68x, mvme68k,
mvmeppc, playstation2, riscv, sun2, sun3, x68k, zaurus due to resource
constraints or port infancy.
userspace. The old fetch(9) and store(9) APIs (fubyte(), fuword(),
subyte(), suword(), etc.) are retired and replaced with new ufetch(9)
and ustore(9) APIs that can return proper error codes, etc. and are
implemented consistently across all platforms. The interrupt-safe
variants are no longer supported (and several of the existing attempts
at fuswintr(), etc. were buggy and not actually interrupt-safe).
Also augmement the ucas(9) API, making it consistently available on
all plaforms, supporting uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, even
those that do not have CAS or LL/SC primitives.
Welcome to NetBSD 8.99.37.
shared copy: m68040_writeback(). It is essentially a copy of the Atari
version, with some minor cosmetic tweaks and one small performance optimization
from the mvme68k port.
Tested by rjs@ on a Quadra 950. (Thanks!)
- Every driver that was removed and whose number hasn't already been
reused is now listed with a commented-out "obsolete" line.
- The format of these has been systematized. Future format changes can
probably be safely done with a script.
- This does not include a few cases of assignments that only lasted a
couple days, or stuff from before major reorgs. Some of these may
be included nonetheless, because there was a lot of ground to cover
and therefore not a lot of time to dig into history in detail.
Note that the obsolete listings do not mean the major numbers can
never be reused; that's up to portmasters and/or core. It does mean
that they won't be reused by accident, however, which in some cases
(depending on the driver, how widely used it was, its family of device
nodes, their default permissions, etc.) can be quite dangerous.
Note that some of the things now explicitly listed as obsolete are
really ancient history. My scan went back as far as when the majors
files were added. (But not before that.)
set or not, in the same way as libcompat.
- Specify OPT_MODULAR in the port Makefile instead of KERN_AS.
Now, KERN_AS=library is used for kernels without module(7) for all ports.
OK christos
- Remove unused *_NAMES macros for sysctl.
- Remove unused *_MAXID for sysctls.
- Move CTL_MACHDEP sysctl definitions for m68k into m68k/include/cpu.h and
use them on all m68k machines.
This change:
* Removes "options PERFCTRS", the associated includes, and the associated
ifdefs. In doing so, it removes several XXXSMPs in the MI code, which is
good.
* Removes the PMC code of ARM XSCALE.
* Removes all the pmc.h files. They were all empty, except for ARM XSCALE.
* Reorders the x86 PMC code not to rely on the legacy pmc.h file. The
definitions are put in sysarch.h.
* Removes the kern/sys_pmc.c file, and along with it, the sys_pmc_control
and sys_pmc_get_info syscalls. They are marked as OBSOL in kern,
netbsd32 and rump.
* Removes the pmc_evid_t and pmc_ctr_t types.
* Removes all the associated man pages. The sets are marked as obsolete.
- new series of files that are useful for saying "i want everything
since netbsd 1.4", etc.
- use the fact COMPAT_* options have future dependancies to remove
many redundant options.
removes about 3000 lines total across kernel configuration files.
tested about 30 random kernels in the changed list.
