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.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
register anyway when the bit is set, we can safe one of the (slow) custom
chip accesses by using this bit.
Sounds ridiculous, but at a hardware FIFO depth of 1 and ~1 usec per
access (at IPL 5) it might help the highspeed addicts.
This will be used by certain SCSI drivers to limit the length of DMA transfers
when the serial port is running at higher speeds. GVP and Phase5 DMA
interfers significantly with CPU execution, and significantly increases
receive buffer overruns (silo overflow). Reducing the DMA transfer length
can reduce the overruns.
allow any baudrate the hardware allows, and to forbid two baudrates
(50 and 75) which the hardware does NOT support but which the old
speed conversion table pretended to support.
- 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)
- 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.
Now use amiga HW for soft interrupts, non-contig options (2 or many chunks),
interrupt handler lists, 4066 ethernet, 1291 scsi, option to defer level 6
interrupts to level 4 (deal with icky built-in serial port)
