- Replace most remaining uses of l_addr with uvm_lwp_getuarea() or lwp_getpcb().
- Amend assembly in ports where it accesses PCB via struct user.
- Rename L_ADDR to L_PCB in few places. Reduce sys/user.h inclusions.
This allows use of subr_disk_mbr on all archs. Default to it for
the rump disk component. No functional change for regular kernels.
(The other option would've been to include dkbad in disklabels
everywhere, but arguably this approach has less possible side-effects,
especially given that wedges and related magic will take over the
world any second now).
for memory between 16M and 4G. On large memory machine, this avoids
the 32bit-accessible memory being eaten by various kernel early allocation,
causing 32bit bus_dma(9) memory allocation to fail at boot time.
Tested on a system with 48GB RAM; based on netbsd-5 patch proposed on
port-amd64 3 days ago.
- Addresses the issue described in PR/38828.
- Some simplification in threading and sleepq subsystems.
- Eliminates pmap_collect() and, as a side note, allows pmap optimisations.
- Eliminates XS_CTL_DATA_ONSTACK in scsipi code.
- Avoids few scans on LWP list and thus potentially long holds of proc_lock.
- Cuts ~1.5k lines of code. Reduces amd64 kernel size by ~4k.
- Removes __SWAP_BROKEN cases.
Tested on x86, mips, acorn32 (thanks <mpumford>) and partly tested on
acorn26 (thanks to <bjh21>).
Discussed on <tech-kern>, reviewed by <ad>.
Import acpiwmi(4) from Jukka Ruohonen. From the PR:
Attached is a driver that implements ACPI WMI API:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/wmi/wmi-acpi.mspx
The WMI is used to provide a generic interface for OEMs to use certain
platform/laptop-specific additions to the standard ACPI in a somewhat
portable way. These can be hotkeys for additional buttons, different event
handlers (wireless kill switch, lid switch, etc.), and so on. At least HP
and Acer use it by default nowadays.
The benefit of this interface would be portability. For an example, instead
of hpqlb(4) that works only with certain HP models, we could have a generic
HP WMI-driver that should work in theory across all HP laptops. On many new
laptops WMI may also be the only way to access laptop/manufacturer-specific
features.
It will replace azalia(4) after testing.
To use, comment out azalia in your kernel configuration and uncomment the
hdaudio and hdafg lines so it reads:
# Intel High Definition Audio
hdaudio* at pci? dev ? function ?
hdafg* at hdaudiobus?
You should also:
cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV audio
are now compiled in by default.
Note that MSR support in Xen depends on its version. rdmsr() should always
succeed, but wrmsr() to certain registers can end in a NOOP. In that case,
the error will be logged (see xm dmesg).
Setting CPU frequency (SpeedStep) requires Xen 3.3 with the option
cpufreq="dom0-kernel" passed down to hypervisor during boot.
Compiled and tested for SpeedStep under i386 for XEN3_DOM0 and XEN3PAE_DOM0
by jym@. amd64 was tested by Joel Carnat.
See also http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-xen/2009/08/02/msg005213.html .
Commit requested by bouyer@.
%fs on i386, %gs on amd64 registers, before using them. Otherwise, it
might be invalid/garbage, eg. IPI can interrupt userspace.
- Explicitly initialize per-CPU emap generation number.
Thanks <drochner> for reporting and testing of patch.
