such pseudo-devices, create cfdrivers for them which carry the appropriate
attributes. This allows devices in the config file to be attached to
pseudo-devices.
party software packages to the kernel. The statment:
package "../path/to/some/directory/files.package"
is equivalent to the sequence:
prefix "../path/to/some/directory"
include "files.package"
prefix
allowing for the following:
file foo.c foobar | bar
defflag BAR
device foobar
...to be expressed in the following (more natural) way:
define foo
file foo.c foo
defflag BAR: foo
device foobar: foo
allows for the following:
define foo
define bar { }: foo
device foobar: bar
An instance of "foobar" will select "bar", which will in turn select
"foo" due to "bar"'s dependency on "foo".
Circular dependencies are not allowed, and a dependency may also not
be an interface attribute.
This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
filenames had to be unquoted and also had to contain a / or .,
while others had to have no / and no . or be quoted, whereas
arbitrary machine symbols could always be optionally quoted,
which was kind of backwards.
Now, all filesnames use the same rules: quoted, or with a / or .
Arbitrary words can no longer be quoted unless the grammar specifically
allows it, which it now does for filenames, locator values, locator
defaults, compile-with, ident, makeoptions, and options.
Also, locator name symbols can be quoted, so mac68k's "no drq" locator
still works. ("no drq" doesn't appear in any machine description so I
presume it's just for the dmesg. )
- Add `no' keyword, which can be used in the following ways:
no file-system SOMEFS
no makeoptions FOO
no options OPT1[,OPT2[,...]]
no pseudo-device somepseudo
This turns off a previous file-system/makeoptions/options/pseudo-device
entry for the same item.
Grammar support for 'no device DEV at ATTACH' added, but not
implemented yet.
Code changes:
- Convert many simple lists to TAILQs
- Convert prefix to SLIST
- Remove argument names from prototypes.
- Don't bother with custom alloc code for hashtables; just use emalloc()
like everything else.
- Implement ht_remove(), to remove an entry from a hash table.
Add removed entries to a freelist for later reuse.
- Don't selectbase() devices and pseudo-devices at definition time; instead
do it at one pass after the config file has been parsed in fixdevis().
- Rename nvhead to nvfreelist; a more apt name...
- Minor code cleanups.
a `machine' line. For each of these subarches, its
arch/${SUBARCH}/conf/files.${SUBARCH} is included, and
a symlink ${SUBARCH} -> arch/${SUBARCH}/include is made.
This will for a "richer structure" and easier code
sharing under sys/arch.
have a way to embed the revision number into the kernel's "uname -v"
output. The patch below does this, by generating a new keyword "ident"
that can be followed by any string, e.g.
ident "NOON-$Revision$"
will lead to
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
char version[] = "NetBSD 1.4P (NOON-$Revision: 1.21 $) #37: Thu Jan
20 02:01:23 MET 2000\n feyrer@noon:/usr/cvs.local/src-current/sys/arch/i386/c
ompile/NOON\n";
This will lead to a version of "MYMACHINE-$Revision$" instead of the
kernel config file name. If "ident" is not present, the current behaviour
of using the kernel config file's name as identifier is used.
Implement by writing the ident to a file ("ident") in the compile dir,
which newvers.sh will pick up for generating the ident.
to file specifications. The prefixes are arranged in a stack, and
nest, so that file, object, and include specifications are normalized,
and all end up relative to the kernel compile directory.
For example, in the kernel config file:
# Pull in config fragments for kernel crypto
prefix ../crypto-us/sys # push it
cinclude "conf/files.crypto-us" # include it if it's there
prefix # pop it
and in files.crypto-us:
file netinet6/esp_core.c ipsec & ipsec_esp
file netinet6/esp_output.c ipsec & ipsec_esp
file netinet6/esp_input.c ipsec & ipsec_esp
...generates the following in the kernel Makefile:
$S/../crypto-us/sys/netinet6/esp_core.c \
$S/../crypto-us/sys/netinet6/esp_output.c \
$S/../crypto-us/sys/netinet6/esp_input.c \
By placing this all in the kernel config file, all the magic involved in
reaching into non-standard kernel source directories is placed into a file
that the user is expected to edit anyway, and reasonable examples (and
sane defaults, for typical source checkouts) can be provided.
file, conditional on their existence. For example:
[ in ../conf/GENERIC ]
cinclude "../crypto-intl/sys/conf/files.crypto-intl"
This required a change to the files.* grammar; pseudo-device in that
context has been changed to defpseudo, to avoid a conflicting rule
for pseudo-device in the kernel config files.
The same grammar change allows vendors to ship files.* files for
commercial drivers, rather than diffs to e.g. files.pci, i.e.:
include "arch/i386/pci/files.zap"
zap* at pci? device ? function ?
Where files.zap might contain:
device zap: ether, ifnet, arp, mii
attach zap at pci
object arch/i386/pci/zap.o zap
* machinery for nonfatal warnings.
* new backend config-file keywords:
defparam -- like defopt, but each defparam option is required
to have a value when configured via "options".
defflag -- like defopt, but defflag options may not have a value.
Also, on "option FOO", a needs-count style flag
(NFOO, either 0 or 1) is emitted to the .h file.
* Warn about old-style options that aren't defined via def{opt,param,flag}
and which are added to IDENT. (These behave subtly differently
to defopt options when no explicit value is given.)
Only things defined with this keyword will be allowed on "file-system"
lines in the kernel config files.
By default, -D... directives for file systems are not generated, since
they are not needed for most file systems now that vfs_conf.c is gone.
However, some file systems must have dependencies generated on them
(e.g. NFS, UNION). So, provide a way to specify an option file for
these file systems.
a change to the config grammar, to specify a device's class (i.e. DV_xxx)
like:
device sd class disk: ...
Also emit an ioconf.h, which contains extern declarations of the
cfdriver structures.
While I'm here, add support for specifying multiple options per defopt
line, as well as specifying the file name in which the options will
appear.
defopt foo bar baz
generates "opt_foo.h", "opt_bar.h", and "opt_baz.h"
defopt opt_mumble.h foo bar baz
generates "opt_mumble.h" which contains all three options.
Also, clean up and fix some bugs in the code that generates header files.
Syntax is like the `file' keyword; e.g.:
object arch/i386/i386/mumble.o [mumble] [needs-flag]
Largely from Michael Richardson in PR 3833, with some changes by me.
be included in object dependencies. config(8) is told to generate
a header for a particular option with the new "defopt" keyword, used
in the files.* system description files. Options that are placed in
header files are not given -D... cpp flags.
This approach allows options to be turned into headers incrementally,
rather than all at once, and allows for non-header options, as well.
and the root device:
- New "file-system" keyword is used to configure file systems into
the kernel.
- New way of specifying root device, which allows root file system
type to always be specified. Examples:
config gennetbsd swap generic
config sdnetbsd root on sd0a swap on sd0b
config nfsnetbsd root on nfs
are replaced by:
config gennetbsd root on ? type ?
config sdnetbsd root on sd0a type ffs swap on sd0b
config nfsnetbsd root on ? type nfs
config lenetbsd root on le0 type nfs
Note that specific network interfaces may now be specified as
the root device.
- swapgeneric.c is no longer used; generate a swap*.c file for each
"config" line in the kernel configuration file.
requires that some ordering requirements are checked by the
back-end C code instead of the parser (dirspecs, maxpart).
* Be more careful to require newline tokens in the grammer where
they are expected, and deal with blank lines, etc. This allows
elimination of a trailing context on newline in the scanner.
* Let the parser set values for "needs-count" and "needs-flag"
instead of making those special cases in the scanner.
* Get rid of '= ' preceeding actions (obsolete yacc syntax)
* Make the scanner not insert an extra newline after includes.
(It was just an accidental side-effect of the ENDFILE stuff.)
on tech-kern. (See man page.) Implementation by Greg Hudson.
Also, remove special case for i386 in vector handling, although this code isn't
actually used any more.
- split softc size and match/attach out from cfdriver into
a new struct cfattach.
- new "attach" directive for files.*. May specify the name of
the cfattach structure, so that devices may be easily attached
to parents with different autoconfiguration semantics.
