a char *, because that's what was really intended, and because
if the print function modifies the string, various things could become
unhappy (so the string should _not_ be modified).
* Make S expand to an absolute path at compile time.
* Use `-S' rather than `-x' to remove debugging symbols.
* Garbage collect unused variables.
* Reverse a handful of port-specific changes that do not correspond to
the common build model and are not needed.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
- Use an extent map to manage the ISA memory "hole", much like
how i/o port space is manged with an extent map. Do the actual
accounting in bus_mem_{,un}map().
- When creating the ioport and iomem extent maps, pass the
EX_NOBLOB flag, which tells the extent map code to disallow
fragmenting of regions. This will make it easier to catch
simple i/o and memory mapping bugs (like the if_ed.c bug I just
fixed) in the future.
- In bus_mem_map(), a chunk of code was indented using spaces.
Make the indentation use tabs.
- In bus_io_unmap(), fix the format passed to printf().
- A fixed extent map (statically allocated descriptor storage) is
created in init386(), just before the call to consinit(). The
fixed descriptor storage has enough room for 8 region entires,
which is plenty for early initialization, but doesn't chew up
that much memory.
This extent map (ioport_ex) manages the i386 i/o port
space (0x0 - 0xffff).
- Just before the call to configure() in cpu_startup(), a
flag is set which notifies the bus_io functions that it is
safe to use malloc() to allocate descriptor storage, in the
event that more than 8 regions are needed.
- bus_io_map() attempts to allocate the specified region from
ioport_ex. If the allocation succeeds, the io handle is
filled in. If the allocation fails, it is implied that
something else is already using that io space, and an
error condition is returned.
- bus_io_unmap() frees a region previously allocated from
ioport_ex in bus_io_map(). If the free fails, a warning
is printed on the conole.
These changes implement "port accounting". This is required for
proper autoconfiguration on the i386 port, and makes dealing with,
among other things, PCMCIA io mappings _much_ easier.
