* introduce fsetown(), fgetown(), fownsignal() - this sets/retrieves/signals
the owner of descriptor, according to appropriate sematics
of TIOCSPGRP/FIOSETOWN/SIOCSPGRP/TIOCGPGRP/FIOGETOWN/SIOCGPGRP ioctl; use
these routines instead of custom code where appropriate
* make every place handling TIOCSPGRP/TIOCGPGRP handle also FIOSETOWN/FIOGETOWN
properly, and remove the translation of FIO[SG]OWN to TIOC[SG]PGRP
in sys_ioctl() & sys_fcntl()
* also remove the socket-specific hack in sys_ioctl()/sys_fcntl() and
pass the ioctls down to soo_ioctl() as any other ioctl
change discussed on tech-kern@
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
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.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
* for the M68060 part: store buffer and branch target cache aren't
enabled yet (this needs cleanup of lots of locore.s code which is a
maze of little passages, all a little different) (and it wasn't yet
tested in an accellerated Amiga, only in the DraCo).
I've included a workaround for 2 of the CPU bugs in chips with Masks
1F43G and earlier, but didn't bother to deal with the can of worms
in the [0-3]D11W chips. Be sure to get "68060 rev. 1" or more
reported at kernel startup time, or at least mention it (or the mask
revision, if available) when reporting problems.
* for the DraCo: only machines with a CIA timer.
I assigned machine id 32000+nn (0x7Dnn), where n is the machine
readable Quicklogic custom chip revision (also printed at boot
time). "Guaranteed to work" up to rev. 3, newer DraCo's aren't
guaranteed to have any CIA (we don't have a driver for the new timer
yet).
Supported are:
- MF-II keyboards on the native interface and A3000 keyboards via
the CIA.
- builtin SCSI interface (yet another instance of siop)
- CIA timer.
- Zorro II devices which don't do DMA (don't get mapped to Zorro II
address space in the DraCo)
- "local bus" devices which are autoconfigured by the boot rom
(should be all); only an Altais driver is there (looks like a Retina Z3)
Not yet supported are:
- native timer of newer machines.
- Real Time Clock.
- serial, parallel + floppy on the SuperIO chip (that is also: no mouse)
XXX You need an enhanced boot loader, which will committed in a few days.
XXX std.draco should and will go away.
- Added support for multiple floppy drives
- CyberVision64:
- has now a real console mode
- another bugfix for boards with the new S3 chip
- Ariadne:
- fixed crashes with aeput (mbuf failure)
amiga goes: config.new *and* /sys/scsi.
clock code coerced into a single .c file adding an accurate usec delay().
disklabel.c updated to DTRT, code to write RDB's to be added soon.
sbic (old scsi) converted over to new scsi and config this covers about
90% of users. Other drivers soon.
