that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.
This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX. This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.
"BUS_SPACE_ALIGNED_POINTER()".
Equal to the param.h "ALIGNED_POINTER()" normally, but obeys additional
requirements of the bus_space_xxx_n() macros. (BUS_SPACE_DEBUG)
minor of libc and the major of libutil). For little-endian architectures
merge the bnswap() assembly versions with nto* and hton* using symbols
aliasing. Use symbol renaming for the bswap function in this case to avoid
namespace pollution.
Declare bswap* in machine/bswap.h, not machine/endian.h. For little-endian
machines, common code for inline macros go in machine/byte_swap.h
Sync libkern with libc.
Adjust #include in kernel sources for machine/bswap.h.
tty structures, and on some machines (namely the DraCo internal lpt, and some
multi-i/o boards for Amigas and DraCos), tying spltty to the pretty high printer
interupt level would hurt serial performance.
On all affected ports but Amiga, spllpt() has been defined in machine/intr.h
to be spltty(), thus preserving old behaviour. Portmasters are encouraged to
change is, if they feel something else is better (e.g., one of its own were
possible).
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
