-make the boot timeout patchable
-optionally, call checkpasswd() before the boot menu can be accessed
(The latter 2 follow PR port-i386/8196 by Stephan Thesing.)
power status on the console (if apmd is absent).
Some systems generate APM_POWER_CHANGE events too frequently (more then
once per minute), and printing the status makes single user operations
rather difficult.
to be the logarithm to base 2 of the alignment, in an ELF environment n is
the actual alignment boundary; thus, adjust the directives accordingly.
Albeit the wonderful i386 architecture doesn't mind the smaller alignment in
an obvious way, it is likely to have resulted in some performance penalty
during the a.out->ELF transition.
big-endian. i386, pc532 and vax still include <machine/byte_swap.h>
and define macros for the {n,h}to{h,n}*() functions. mips also
defines some endian-independent assembly-code aliases for unaligned
memory accesses.
via interrupts:
(1) pmap_map_ptes() and pmap_unmap_ptes() don't need to do anything to
map the kernel's pmap, since all pmaps contain the kernel's PTPs.
this fixes interrupt-context calls to pmap_extract().
(2) pmap_kenter_*() and pmap_kremove() no longer adjust the kernel pmap's
resident and wired counters.
added APM event type and print out some more info if APMDEBUG
-separate segment lenghts of 16-bit and 32-bit code cleanly
-minor fixes in segment lenght calculation
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.
