testing and archival for now. I don't expect anyone to work with it
since the binutils and gas changes are still pending. But you got to
crawl before you walk.
big-endian. i386, pc532 and vax still include <machine/byte_swap.h>
and define macros for the {n,h}to{h,n}*() functions. mips also
defines some endian-independent assembly-code aliases for unaligned
memory accesses.
that is priority is rasied. Add a new spllowersoftclock() to provide the
atomic drop-to-softclock semantics that the old splsoftclock() provided,
and update calls accordingly.
This fixes a problem with using the "rnd" pseudo-device from within
interrupt context to extract random data (e.g. from within the softnet
interrupt) where doing so would incorrectly unblock interrupts (causing
all sorts of lossage).
XXX 4 platforms do not have priority-raising capability: newsmips, sparc,
XXX sparc64, and VAX. This platforms still have this bug until their
XXX spl*() functions are fixed.
If I _had_ to pick an arch on which to learn how this stuff works, it probably
would not have been vax... unless of course I was experimenting with time
compressing drugs. If we have a 1.4.2, this is definitely a candidate.
missing pte's, instead map in pte entries in pmap_enter(). The user ptes
is no more handled by the VM system. All this made swapping start working
on VAX again.
Still to do:
- Keep refcount per pte page, so that those pages get free'd when the
process is swapped out. Right now they are only free'd when the pmap
is destroyed.
Many thanks to Chuck Silvers for all help finding the deadlock problems.
- fix emitrules() like emitfiles() to deal with the prefix (otherwise it
would attempt to find the file in the normal base for the NORMAL_C rule).
- add emitincludes() which adds include directives for each prefix to the
$INCLUDES variable in the makefile.
- add %INCLUDES to each Makefile.arch to deal with the above.
this makes "prefix" actually work in a usable manner, and now i can move
on to fixing compiler warnings (errors) in the ESP code. :)
