- Good bye SYS_PBOOT and SYS_NBOOT, hello SYS_UBOOT (unified boot)
Currently supports booting from SCSI and HP-IB disk and network
from a single boot block. Infrastructure for booting from
HP-IB tape is there, but it doesn't quite work yet.
- Add a slightly modified version of Gordon Ross's "rawfs",
which provides a filesystem-like interface to tape devices.
Still needs debugging (see above).
- Rename sys_inst.c to inst.c, so that the LIF directory entry
turns out right (used to look like SYS_SYS_I if loaded from
tape).
- Add a "netio_ask" hint to netio.c, so that a special instnetio.o
doesn't have to be compiled for SYS_INST. Defaults to using
bootparams, but if set, will prompt user for information
usually obtained from bootparams.
- General cleanup.
in a more elegant way, but it works as is, and we need it now.
- Add a README and Makefile for the above. Note that this directory should
NOT be added to ../Makefile's SUBDIRS.
- Use an extent map to manage the ISA memory "hole", much like
how i/o port space is manged with an extent map. Do the actual
accounting in bus_mem_{,un}map().
- When creating the ioport and iomem extent maps, pass the
EX_NOBLOB flag, which tells the extent map code to disallow
fragmenting of regions. This will make it easier to catch
simple i/o and memory mapping bugs (like the if_ed.c bug I just
fixed) in the future.
- In bus_mem_map(), a chunk of code was indented using spaces.
Make the indentation use tabs.
- In bus_io_unmap(), fix the format passed to printf().
physical memory is sized by a loop that writes data to the first
word in a page, (writes something else to settle the bus) and then reads
back the word it wrote. If the read succeeds, the amount of physical
memory is increased by one page.
This fails on a 5000/1xx with a memory subsystem filled with 8 low-density
(4Mbyte) SIMMs. The memory-decoding hardware aliases the 32Mbytes of
physical memory at physical addresses 0, and at 32M (and presumably
at 64 and 96Mbytes.) The contiguous aliasing causes the memory-sizing
loop to continue at 32 MBytes, testing the memory that's really
at address 0, overwriting and crashing the kernel.
Fixed (for 1.2) by reading the SIMM-decoder stride size from the
motherboard, and reducing the loop bound to 32Mbytes on a 5000/1xx
with low-density SIMMs. (Other models have a non-power-of-2 maximum
memory and so are not subject to _contigous_ aliasing of physical memory).
The physical memory-sizer claims to preserve memory contents
(specifically the contents of msgbuf). The loop writes different
values into two adjacent locations and reads the contents of the
first, to ensure that whatever is read back from the first location is
from memory and isn't just the first write persisting on the bus.
The loop preserved the value of the first location, but not the second,
resulting in the second test value ('ZZZZ') over-writing a word in msgbuf.
- A fixed extent map (statically allocated descriptor storage) is
created in init386(), just before the call to consinit(). The
fixed descriptor storage has enough room for 8 region entires,
which is plenty for early initialization, but doesn't chew up
that much memory.
This extent map (ioport_ex) manages the i386 i/o port
space (0x0 - 0xffff).
- Just before the call to configure() in cpu_startup(), a
flag is set which notifies the bus_io functions that it is
safe to use malloc() to allocate descriptor storage, in the
event that more than 8 regions are needed.
- bus_io_map() attempts to allocate the specified region from
ioport_ex. If the allocation succeeds, the io handle is
filled in. If the allocation fails, it is implied that
something else is already using that io space, and an
error condition is returned.
- bus_io_unmap() frees a region previously allocated from
ioport_ex in bus_io_map(). If the free fails, a warning
is printed on the conole.
These changes implement "port accounting". This is required for
proper autoconfiguration on the i386 port, and makes dealing with,
among other things, PCMCIA io mappings _much_ easier.
piece of hardware into kernel virtual memory (was only a guess 'til now).
XXX Unfortunately, the hardware vendor reserves the right to change this in
future DraCo revisions. We must rethink delay() and DELAY(), at least for the
DraCo, soon.
which was taken from OpenBSD/pica.
The previous revision of elf.c replaced Ted Lemon's elf exec machinery
with something closer to Christos' MI elf machinery. It turns out
that old NetBSD/pmax elf binaries have three segments, and the newer
elf exec machinery cannot exec them.
The old elf exec machinery is folded back into cpu_exec.c, which falls
back onto using the old machinery if the new machinery fails. The
old-style binaries will be deprecated at the 1.2 release.
is close to how I reworked it, I pulled in the (essentially MI) NetBSD/alpha
and added the appropriate support around it.
- No need for the GENERIC kernel config option.
- NFS-mounted root and swap are supported.
- If we can't figure out where the root filesystem is from what the Booter
tells us, ask the user.
- Split the mainbus autoconfig code to a separate file.
Also, update/add copyrights as appropriate.
where the console is, because that is correct if, for example, you
boot with the diag/norm switch set for diagnostics and the EEPROM
is set for keyboard/display.
* Update arch/mips/mips/cpu_exec.c to include MI exec_elf.h header,
and to use the MI interface exec_elf_makecmds().
* Replace arch/mips/mips/elf.c (Ted Lemon's elf code) with
a version of Christos's MI elf exec code, munged to support demand paging
and mips shared libraries.
Show proper inquiry data when version >= 1, not <= 1 (SCSI-2 devices
now display their inquiry infor).
Correct transfer length passed to dk_unbusy (b_resid hasn't been
updated yet).
* Eliminate the #ifdef DS5000 and kernel config option DS5000 altogether.
option DS5000 was a hangover from 4.4bsd/pmax; it's never been clear
if it means "support for DS5000/200" or "support for any TC machine".
This implictly fixes pr 1828.
* Use the "tc.h" and NTC generated by config for a "tc? at mainbus"
where appropriate, intsead of #ifdef DS5000.
* Canonicalize the spelling of kernel options that enable support
for particular models. Use
DS5000_25 for the Personal Decstation aka MAXINE aka KN02-ca
DS5000_100 for the 5000/1xx series aka KMIN aka KN02-ba
DS5000_200 for the 5000/200 aka 3MAX aka KN02
DS500_240 for the 5000/240 aka 3MAXPLUS aka KN03
and change DS_5000_xxx to DS5000_xxx everywhere.
* Wrap the interrupt handlers for each model in the appropriate #ifdef,
instead of wrapping all of them with "#ifdef DS5000".
* Wrap the TC autoconfig for each model in the appropriate #ifdef.
* Eliminate the #ifdef DS5000 and kernel config option DS5000 altogether.
