SH-5, meet NetBSD.
Let's hope this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship. :-)
This code, funded by Wasabi Systems, adds initial support for the
Hitachi SuperH(tm) SH-5 cpu architecture to NetBSD.
At the present time, NetBSD/evbsh5 only runs on a SH-5 core simulator
which has no simulated devices other than a simple console. However, it
is good enough to get to the "root device: " prompt.
Device driver support for Real SH-5 Hardware is in place, particularly for
supporting the up-coming Cayman evaluation board, and should be quite
easy to get running when the hardware is available.
There is no in-tree toolchain for this port at this time. Gcc-current has
rudimentary SH-5 support but it is known to be buggy. A working toolchain
was obtained from SuperH to facilitate this port. Gcc-current will be
fixed in due course.
The SH-5 architecture is fully 64-bit capable, although NetBSD/evbsh5 has
currently only been tested in 32-bit mode. It is bi-endian, via a boot-
time option and it also has an "SHcompact" mode in which it will execute
SH-[34] user-land instructions.
For more information on the SH-5, see www.superh.com. Suffice to say it
is *not* just another respin of the SH-[34].
* struct sigacts gets a new sigact_sigdesc structure, which has the
sigaction and the trampoline/version. Version 0 means "legacy kernel
provided trampoline". Other versions are coordinated with machine-
dependent code in libc.
* sigaction1() grows two more arguments -- the trampoline pointer and
the trampoline version.
* A new __sigaction_sigtramp() system call is provided to register a
trampoline along with a signal handler.
* The handler is no longer passed to sensig() functions. Instead,
sendsig() looks up the handler by peeking in the sigacts for the
process getting the signal (since it has to look in there for the
trampoline anyway).
* Native sendsig() functions now select the appropriate trampoline and
its arguments based on the trampoline version in the sigacts.
Changes to libc to use the new facility will be checked in later. Kernel
version not bumped; we will ride the 1.6C bump made recently.
Fix 2 bugs with MSG_WAITALL. The first is to not block forever if one is
trying to MSG_PEEK for more than the socket can hold. The second is that
before sleeping waiting for more data, upcall the protocol telling it you
have just received data so it can kick itself to re-fill the just drained
socket buffer.
* Keep pointers to the first and last mbufs of the last record in the
socket buffer.
* Use the sb_lastrecord pointer in the sbappend*() family of functions
to avoid traversing the packet chain to find the last record.
* Add a new sbappend_stream() function for stream protocols which
guarantee that there will never be more than one record in the
socket buffer. This function uses the sb_mbtail pointer to perform
the data insertion. Make TCP use sbappend_stream().
On a profiling run, this makes sbappend of a TCP transmission using
a 1M socket buffer go from 50% of the time to .02% of the time.
Thanks to Bill Sommerfeld and YAMAMOTO Takashi for their debugging
assistance!
compile directory is not under /usr/src/sys (i.e. when 'S' is not
'../../../..'). Pointed out by Robert Elz in PR 17384.
Thanks again to Andrew Brown for figuring out how to rip .depend apart.
