which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.
Follows recent discussion on tech-kern@
a pointer to current cpu's cpu_info structure. Use cpu_info for
intstk,intr_depth,still_stk,idle_pcb,curpcb,curlwp,etal even on
non-MULTIPROCESSOR machines. Add common macros GET_CPUINFO and
INIT_CPUINFO to get and initialize the cpu_info struct on startup. Make
ibm4xx use the standard <powerpc/frame.h>. Use IFRAME_xx in ibm4xx
trap_subr.S instead of explicit magic offsets. Move INTSTK and SPILLSTK
to std.<platform>. Change faultbuf to a struct instead of an array.
On MPC6XX cpus, stop using the vector page for temporary space and use
reserved space in cpu_info.
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.
MALLOC_NOINLINE, and VNODE_OP_NOINLINE. The exceptions are when they
include another config files that already defines the options, or if
they are for an embedded board, just define a few extra options, and
do not already define PIPE_SOCKETPAIR.
