This branch was a major cleanup and rototill of many of the various OEA
cpu based PPC ports that focused on sharing as much code as possible
between the various ports to eliminate near-identical copies of files in
every tree. Additionally there is a new PIC system that unifies the
interface to interrupt code for all different OEA ppc arches. The work
for this branch was done by a variety of people, too long to list here.
TODO:
bebox still needs work to complete the transition to -renovation.
ofppc still needs a bunch of work, which I will be looking at.
ev64260 still needs to be renovated
amigappc was not attempted.
NOTES:
pmppc was removed as an arch, and moved to a evbppc target.
- use todr(9) API with MI mc146818(4) driver and remove homegrown
todr stuff from MD alpha/clock.c and alpha/mcclock.c
- also remove obsolete cc_microtime stuff from MD code
- add ci_pcc_freq member in struct cpu_info for cpu_frequency(), and
calibrate it with mc146818 interval clock in mcclock attachment
- call cc_init() in cpu_initclocks(9) because all alpha cpus have
a pcc counter
Tested on DEC 3000/300 and AlphaPC 164, but not on any SMP machines yet.
explicitely by a plain integer array
the length in now known to all relevant parties, so this avoids
duplication of information, and we can allocate that thing in
drivers without hacks
additional processors are spun up on multiprocessor Alpha systems.
Now, each processor gets its own idle thread (the primary processor
uses proc0). This idle thread is used in switch_exit(), rather than
explicitly referencing proc0.
Also, make `curproc', `fpcurproc', and `curpcb' per-cpu values. This
required some data structure rearrangement; cpu info is now statically
allocated in the BSS, rather than via malloc(), and cpu_softc is gone.
(Modeled somewhat after NetBSD/sparc's multiprocessor info structures.)
I/O nodes. Previous code erroneously set it on CPU nodes only.
- In both the single- and multi-processor case, route all interrupts from
I/O nodes to the primary CPU, for now.
use by an error handler:
* There can be only one TurboLaser, and we'll overload it
* with a bitmap of found turbo laser nodes. Note that
* these are just the actual hard TL node IDS that we
* discover here, not the virtual IDs that get assigned
* to CPUs. During TLSB specific error handling we
* only need to know which actual TLSB slots have boards
* in them (irrespective of how many CPUs they have).
into the integer tlsb_found a bit map of found nodes and export
it to the rest of the kernel. This is so that at machine check
time when we're doing some TLSB/KFTXX error handling we don't
have to attempt a badaddr to look at all TLSB nodes (which will
just be too sad to try...).
This can be disabled (to save a bit of space) with the NO_KERNEL_RCSIDS
options, which is present but commented out in the ALPHA config file.
In ELF-format kernels, these strings are present in the kernel binary but
are not loaded into memory. (In ECOFF-format kernels, there's no easy way
to keep them from being loaded, so they _are_ loaded into memory.)
