Change the semantics of splsoftclock() to be like other spl*() functions,
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).
ALPHA; mips1_TBIA, mips1_TBIAP, mips1_TBIS.
- Make sure TBIA and TBIAP ops to have an argument for the size of TLB
which varies across even for MIPS1 implementations.
- Nuke the unused cpu_isa field from processor personality list.
- XXX XXX XXX
it's less-than-optimal and likely a mistake to have TLBUpdate().
It's costy to try to invalidate a single TLB entry whenver a certain
PTE is going to be modified by traversing the entire TLB looking
for the modified PTE because the PTE in question is not in TLB in
most cases. ASID bump could do the invalidation smartly. Solution
is planned for now.
was used for debugg'n purposes which only make senses on particular
hardware configurations and has never been intended to extend pagesize
of NetBSD/mips.
- Change comments on cpu_startup() so as what it does (XXX found mostly
common across ports).
- Retain UNIX heritage of /* Good {morning,afternoon,evening,night} */.
Add a new type voff_t (defined as a synonym for off_t) to describe offsets
into uvm objects, and update the appropriate interfaces to use it, the
most visible effect being the ability to mmap() file offsets beyond
the range of a vaddr_t.
Originally by Chuck Silvers; blame me for problems caused by merging this
into non-UBC.
* Remove the casts to vaddr_t from the round_page() and trunc_page() macros to
make them type-generic, which is necessary i.e. to operate on file offsets
without truncating them.
* In due course, cast pointer arguments to these macros to an appropriate
integral type (paddr_t, vaddr_t).
Originally done by Chuck Silvers, updated by myself.
Some PCI soundcards don't seem to use the generic gameport function with
interface 0x10 used here, but have either an own BAR dedicated to this
(i.e. Sonic Vibes or ESS Solo-1) or specify their own device (see
PCI_PRODUCT_CREATIVELABS_SBJOY in sys/dev/pci/pcidevs.h).
Probably these use a similar simple sheme and adding a frontend for them would
be trivial, but I don't own any of these cards, so I didn't.
