* 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.
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.
so that the right entries get added to dev_name2blk[]. Needed for / on RAID.
(Whoops! I missed checking these in when adding the RAID_AUTOCONFIG stuff.)
loadfile_machdep.h into /usr/include/hp300/, instead create a
link for machine and hp300 in ${.OBJDIR} like
sys/arch/alpha/stand/Makefile.buildboot does for alpha.
the bootinfo to be located in the first page of kernel text (which has
been zero-filled for a Very Long Time to allow us to unmap KVA 0); the
boot loader will place it there after loading the kernel image.
"To fully support self-modifying code in any situation, it is imperative that
a CPUSHA intrcution is executed before the execution of the first self-modified
instruction. The CPUSHA instruction has the effect of ensuring that there is
no stale data iin memory, the pipeline is flushed, and instruction prefetches
are repeated and taken from external memory."
I verified that this is the only way (I can think of) to make the sigtramp
regression test work on 68040. doing cpushl dc; cinvl ic; over the affected
address range, then nop (to synchronize the pipeline) is not enough; apparently
the nop does not FLUSH the pipeline and prefetch...
Note that the 68060 UM has copied the above cited passage, but in fact this is
not true. This might be connected to the fact that the 68060 does ensure
memory access order under most conditions.
remove GENERIC.v6 file (as it is part of GENERIC now).
"faith" interface is commented out by default as it is not really for
general use.
IPsec items are commented out as well, though we can enable "options IPSEC"
without export-related issue ("options IPSEC" will enable authentication
portion only). We may need to think about it again.
if you have problem compiling with INET6 on archs I do not have access to,
please contact me.
XXX what to do with arch/arm32/SHARK{,.v6}?
