where the floppy driver would wedge because a motor-on timeout would
be cancelled by another I/O operation cancelling a motor-off timeout.
From enami tsugutomo <enami@sm.sony.co.jp>.
* Remove the casts to vaddr_t from the round_page() and trunc_page() macros to
make them type-generic, which is necessary i.e. to operate on file offsets
without truncating them.
* In due course, cast pointer arguments to these macros to an appropriate
integral type (paddr_t, vaddr_t).
Originally done by Chuck Silvers, updated by myself.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
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.)
The original code lowers level 6 to 4, and if a
clock interrupt occurs in splzs (or similar) the
system may be in unpredictable state.
To do such a hack correctly, checking the original priority
and duplicated clock interrupts would be required.
For now, just disable the hack.
- Do not use clock interrupt for ms polling.
If the receiver already has datum, no further arrival of
data is possible and no interrupts will occur.
This change fixes problem that pressing key during boot
may sometimes disable the keyboard.
Remove unreferenced variable "in" in kbdcngetc().
"To fully support self-modifying code in any situation, it is imperative that
a CPUSHA intrcution is executed before the execution of the first self-modified
instruction. The CPUSHA instruction has the effect of ensuring that there is
no stale data iin memory, the pipeline is flushed, and instruction prefetches
are repeated and taken from external memory."
I verified that this is the only way (I can think of) to make the sigtramp
regression test work on 68040. doing cpushl dc; cinvl ic; over the affected
address range, then nop (to synchronize the pipeline) is not enough; apparently
the nop does not FLUSH the pipeline and prefetch...
Note that the 68060 UM has copied the above cited passage, but in fact this is
not true. This might be connected to the fact that the 68060 does ensure
memory access order under most conditions.
