host that's doing the filing (with a suitable comment for non-usual
cases), as suggested by Don Yuniskis in PR 14217 and lukem on tech-pkg.
Also closes PR's 13938, 14104.
- Garbage collect some cruft that doesn't apply to the ofppc port.
- Make our OFW-friendly alloc.c more like the libsa alloc.c
- Generally reduce some differences where we can between this
boot loader and the NetBSD/macppc boot loader.
- Use libsa's loadfile().
- Fix DDB symbol loading -- Add a magic number after the args string
so the kernel knows the symbols are there, provide both ssym and
esym, and make sure all these values are aligned to a 4-byte boundary.
- Add support for MS-DOS file systems.
- add _PATH_PASSWD_CONF to be consistent with almost all other _PATH_xxx_CONF
defines, and change from using _PATH_PASSWDCONF to the former. keep the
latter for compatibility, although arguably it could be removed because
it was never in a release and was only used in one file in the tree.
support to GDB ARM targets in general, and make corresponding changes to
NetBSD-specific code.
The first half of this has already been send to gdb-patches by Richard.
The second half is irrelevant to them since they don't yet have NetBSD/arm
support in their tree yet.
again:
- Special-case the attachment of CPUs, and logically attach them to
"mainbus", attaching them before any other devices. Otherwise,
CPUs would be found very late in the game on my Firepower.
- Sanity check the timebase-frequency property, printing a warning if
it's not the same on each CPU.
- Pass the correct CPU ID to cpu_attach_subr().
- Fetch the platform name from the OFW root node. We can key off this
later when we implement support for native drivers in the ofppc port.
- Use a table of "special" toplevel OFW nodes ... we skip these nodes
during the device configuration phase. This generally includes the
"options", "packages", etc. nodes. Inspired by sparc & sparc64 ports.
