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.
"BUS_SPACE_ALIGNED_POINTER()".
Equal to the param.h "ALIGNED_POINTER()" normally, but obeys additional
requirements of the bus_space_xxx_n() macros. (BUS_SPACE_DEBUG)
This is done on a physical page size basis, instead of virtual (as the
(on vax yet non-existing) bus_* routines does). This is similar to the
way uba allocation is done.
minor of libc and the major of libutil). For little-endian architectures
merge the bnswap() assembly versions with nto* and hton* using symbols
aliasing. Use symbol renaming for the bswap function in this case to avoid
namespace pollution.
Declare bswap* in machine/bswap.h, not machine/endian.h. For little-endian
machines, common code for inline macros go in machine/byte_swap.h
Sync libkern with libc.
Adjust #include in kernel sources for machine/bswap.h.
made a whole bunch of annoying bugs disappear; mostly depending on
bad use of NBPG in non-MD code. The VAX port was the only port that
used this historical "feature".
The CL* macros should probably go away totally, there is no reason
at all to keep them.
expressions is a GNU C extension; mark as such them with __extension__ to
suppress portability warnings. Addresses kern/3562 and misc/6185, as suggested
by Dave Sainty <dave@dtsp.co.nz>.
bus_space(9), if drivers want it (they shouldn't; easy to convert) they
can define it right before including bus.h. There's been a release since
the interfaces were (slightly) changed, and no code in the source tree
uses the old interfaces as far as I can tell.
address on 2 architectures anyhow. Also, move the definition of the `label_t'
type inside _KERNEL protection, since it is specific to the in-kernel
setjmp()/longjmp() implementations.
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
valid bit. This is faster than the "unmap all" solution that were described
in that Mach paper _and_ it eliminates the need for checking the wired bit.
As a result of this; swapping started working again on vax :-)
page {0,1} base and length registers in the pmap structure. They will
be loaded in to the PCB when the process's address space is activated
by way of pmap_activate().
- Remove pmap_pinit() macro; it's now a real function.
- Prototypes for pmap_pinit(), pmap_activate(), pmap_deactivate().
- fix _C_LABEL so that it actually works.
- make __RENAME use _C_LABEL.
- fix __RENAME so that it expects an unquoted argument.
- fix __indr_reference and __warn_references so that they
supply their own final semicolon.
- define __warn_references to nothing if not GNU C (required
by the way it's used).
The __warn_references semicolon change has to be made
so that __warn_references can be defined into nothing.
(A ; all by itself isn't a great idea.) The __indr_reference
change was made for consistency.
- Map in all physical memory first in system space. This reduces
pmap_copy_page() and pmap_zero_page to 3 resp. 2 instructions.
- Have fized position user page tables. Makes the pv_table smaller
and all reverse references faster (and simpler).
- Remove the wiring code. Nobody doesn't even know what a DR32 is anymore.
- Simulate page reference bit by setting page invalid, as suggested by
Rich Draves in a paper for 1991 Mach Usenix Symposium.
This reduced the time spent in the pmap module to between 70-75% of
the previous; and made process startup _much_ faster.
