be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
least 1us. Documentation I've found for the simple (SPP) parallel port
mode says that data should be stable 500ns before STROBE, STROBE should
be pulsed for no less than 500ns, and that data should be stable another
500ns after STROBE has been de-asserted.
Makes lpt@ebus on my Sun Ultra5 work with my HP DeskJet 712C, at least in
polled mode. Thanks to Martin for astutely noting it was probably a bug
with STROBE being pulsed too quickly.
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.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
DELAY(1)'s. This should fix interrupt driven lpt driver hang and
reboot problems for the group of users who have experienced them, and
shouldn't hurt anyone else.
& strobe cycle. These bracket DELAY()'s of BROKEN_LPT_DELAY
microseconds. This can be used to kludge around mysterious hangs and
reboots some users experience. The cause of these failures is still
not known, but is conjectured to be hardware bug originated failures
in the bus cycle.
tty structures, and on some machines (namely the DraCo internal lpt, and some
multi-i/o boards for Amigas and DraCos), tying spltty to the pretty high printer
interupt level would hurt serial performance.
On all affected ports but Amiga, spllpt() has been defined in machine/intr.h
to be spltty(), thus preserving old behaviour. Portmasters are encouraged to
change is, if they feel something else is better (e.g., one of its own were
possible).
This is useful in the case where an attachment's probe routine
verifies that there is indeed hardware present but something goes
"wrong" in the attach causing the device to be unusable. (Without
keeping track of this, in that case incorrect ports could be
accessed or uninitted pointers could be deferenced on open or at
other times.)
The isa attachment code is in isa/lpt_isa.c now, which attaches to the
already created ic/lpt* files.
You don't need to change your config files, but you need to re-"config" if
using lpt at isa.
XXX The "lpt" device definition should be in sys/conf/files instead, but to
my knowledge, there are some ports which have private copies of lpt, and would
choke on that. No need to make people unhappy 7 days before release branching.
I also made inclusion of LPRINTF() dependent solely on the symbol
LPTDEBUG, initialized lptdebug variable to 0 instead of 1, and
matched arguments to format strings in LPRINTF() calls.
- No more distinction between i/o-mapped and memory-mapped
devices. It's all "bus space" now, and space tags
differentiate the space with finer grain than the
bus chipset tag.
- Add memory barrier methods.
- Implement space alloc/free methods.
- Implement region read/write methods (like memcpy to/from
bus space).
This interface provides a better abstraction for dealing with
machine-independent chipset drivers.
- 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.
round: moving the drivers into a machine-independent directory.
Some drivers (e.g. fd.c) not moved because they use other pc features (e.g.
CMOS settings), and none of the non-driver files moved, because they're
still pretty much PC specific. eventually (when other ports with ISA
busses really start using this code), more 'high-level' ISA support will
live here.
