- Fix a few bugs in the software single-stepping support code, where
VMS PALcode ops were being checked, rather than OSF/1 PALcode ops,
causing erroneous results in the "exception return" and "unconditional
branch" predicates.
- Add the BWX instructions ("ldbu", "ldwu", "stb", "stw") to the
"load" and "store" predicates.
easier to add instructions that the disassembler doesn't know about
(the opcode subfunction number is now printed).
- Add the "amask" and "implver" operate subfunctions.
- Add the "ldbu", "ldwu", "stb", and "stw" major opcodes (BWX instructions).
An IMB intruction must be executed after software or I/O devices
write into the instruction stream or modify the instruction
stream virtual address mapping, and before the new value is
fetched as an instruction.
We were missing calls to IMB after mappings were changed, which caused
systems with large I-caches (e.g. my AlphaStation 500) to fail miserably
when mapping in new pages of program text, or when context switching
(I couldn't even get the shell from init!).
reads. This is necessary because of newer AlphaStation firmware doing
the Wrong Thing with target aborts behind PCI-PCI bridges, much like they
do the Wrong Thing with master aborts. Reported by Matthias Drochner.
use the `a_entry' field from the kernel's header as a base.
Pass on a new DDB magic number to the kernel, so kernels linked for a
different KERNBASE value can apply a correction when booted from old
bootblocks.
prevents booting DDB kernels that are built with a different value of KERNBASE.
Apply a correction based on the magic number passed in by the bootblocks.
New bootblocks without the hard-coded KERNBASE reference will be assigned
a new magic number.
reset sequence to complete. Just sending the reset command and rushing
off -- like it used to do -- might cause the keyboard's response to get
lost in case the remaining kernel initialization decides to interact
with the console (RB_ASK!) by calling cngetc(), which goes off polling
within the PROM.
PCI master aborts as eb164 firmware, so use the same workaround mechanism
on all system types (clear error register's master abort bit, and check
it after accessing configuration space), not just eb164's.
This also fixes a bug on eb164's - when making the Alpha port compile
again, I made an error that caused this to not be used on eb164 systems,
either. Thanks to Matt Jacob for pointing out this goof.
