be invalidated if the pmap is not active. A rare thing (in fact, I'm
having trouble thinking of a scenario where it would happen), but it was
incorrect, nonetheless.

XXX The MI SCC driver needs serious changes to handle platforms which
have muliple SCC attachments (e.g. the Alpha port, which has an ioasic
attachment for TurboChannel systems and a gbus attachment for TurboLaser
systems).
XXX The MI SCC driver also needs changes to deal with the wacky (to put
it mildly) way the chips are wired up on the ioasic (on both TC Alphas
and DECstations). These are going to come along later.

quite happy with it yet.
out how much s/g ram is available. Can't really use the 128K entry S/G
ram yet- but I'll fix that later. More importantly, add in a dwlpx_iointr
handler that will try and figure out what the DWLPX error is and at
least print out what is happening- I actually found it useful in S/G
entry debugging as it could tell me that I had some bad S/G entries.
* Add more #ifdef pmax/#endif, #ifdef alpha/#endif where appropriate.
Config and heade files need more work (or replacement)
change TK_NOTYET to HAVE_RCONS
change commented-out /* && cn_tab.cn_screen */ to && raster_console()
* Add DDB hooks.
* Note where Alpha console ignores carrier on consoles.
* Add pmax-derived console tty-size code inside HAVE_RCONS
* Fold in gross pmax rcons-input hooks, inside HAVE_RCONS
Untested, but whitespace/ifdef only, cross-compiles OK,

the TLB and I-cache in the SWITCH_CONTEXT macro.
- Right after switching to proc0's newly-created context at startup time,
flush the TLB and I-cache; this is the only place where it's not done
automatically.
- Fix a nasty bug in a critical section of cpu_switch(); change the
pmap_activate -> SWITCH_CONTEXT -> pmap_deactivate sequence to
pmap_deactivate -> pmap_activate -> SWITCH_CONTEXT. This prevents
erroneously marking a pmap inactive if switching to a process that
shares it's address space (and thus its pmap) with the oldproc! Noticed
by Chris Demetriou.
of TLB and I-cache flushes, significantly speeding up context switches.
Once again, many thanks to Chris Demetriou and Ross Harvey for code
review and debugging assistance!
invalidation algorithm:
if (old mapping had PG_ASM set || pmap is active) {
TIBS(va);
if (also sync I-stream)
imb();
}
The check for "old mapping had PG_ASM" will get all kernel mappings (since
kernel mappings always have PG_ASM set).
This allows us to remove the bogus check for the kernel pmap in
active_pmap() - do so.
Use the new TLB invalidation macro whenever such action is needed.
as well, until some other changes are made). Nuke active_user_pmap(),
and change the places that used it to use active_pmap() instead (as well
as make some DIAGNOSTIC consistency checks).
the PTE was previously invalid, no TLB invalidation is necessary because:
(1) when a PTE is invalidated, its entry is flushed from the
TLB
(2) the PALcode won't install an invalid PTE into the TLB.
structure. We will continue to run on this context (which is the
global Lev1map at this point) right up until we switch to proc0's
context in switch_exit().
Major change is that page table page management has been completely
rewritten. Page tables are now accessed via K0SEG (no more KVA space
wasted on user page tables), and a much larger user address space is
supported.
Many thanks to Chris Demetriou and Ross Harvey for helpful insight and
debugging assistance.
- Make pv_table an array of struct pv_head's, which contain LIST_HEADs
for the pv_entry's, as well as page attributes (mod, ref, ptpage).
- Use <sys/queue.h> to manipulate pv_entry lists.
- Fix several obvious bugs in pmap_collect_pv().
- Use K0SEG to access pv_page's.
- Clean up pmap_bootstrap() some, and make a slight change to how the
PROM mappings are saved.
- Give each pmap its own level 1 page table, rather than sharing a global
level 1 page table. This will eventually allow for Very Large user
address spaces.
- Keep a list of all pmaps, so that when kernel level 2 page tables are
allocated, all level 1 tables may be updated.
- Add a couple of functions for allocating and freeing page table pages.
- Add a few comments about ASN allocation.
page table:
- Update the current hwpcb pointer in the SWITCH_CONTEXT macro, so that
we know it's always correct.
- Optimize cpu_switch(): if we're switching to ourselves, skip the
actual context swap.
- Clean up some comments and remove some code rendered obsolete by
the fact that address spaces are now selected by switching to a
new level 1 page table.
