compliation without DEBUG and/or DIAGNOSTIC happens without errors.
Note that all such initializations in the Alpha port are marked with "XXX
gcc -Wuninitialized". As far as I'm concerned, the one or two times
-Wuninitialized has saved me from problems are worth the (very minor) cost
involved with the initializations, esp. if it's noted why the
initializations are done. This was prompted by PR#3690, from Ted Lemon.
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
from the current apecs_pci.c. This new version hopefully works for
the same sets of devices that that previous one did, and hopefully
will work for multi-function devices and for secondary PCI busses as
well. (looking at the code, there was no way the old one could have!)
Support for AXPpci CPUs,
Support for AlphaStation 600 CPUs,
new boot block structure, which requires an 'installboot'
program and works a lot like the NetBSD/sparc boot blocks.
