consistency with the way machdep headers for other things are done.
(the creation of the ecoff_machdep.h files was done on the CVS server, to
keep the RCS logs intact.)
macros to use to remove #ifdefs from the machine ID case check.
Eventually, these headers will contain other information, e.g.
machine-dependent relocation information, etc.
use the pre-autoconfig cold serial-console inititialization entry
points from the bus-specific cfattach front-end code.
* Delete post-autoconfig code to switch from PROM output to kernel
driver for machines with dc serial chips.
cfattach code for TC SCSI option cards and ioasic 53c94 baseboard SCSI.
ascvar.h: shared softc declarations
asc_ioasic.c: ioasic front-end code.
asc_tc.c: Turbochannel option (and 5000/200 basebard) front-end code.
* ioasic_attach meeds more work to eliminate pmax_type dependency
and to verify the clocks speed passed to 53c94.
* Add prototypes for asc script entry points; should compile with
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes.
* Use tcvar.h interface. The usage of tc_syncbus() and tc_mb() may
not be quite stylistically on an Alhpa, but it apparently makes no
difference on the eerly-generation Alpha CPUs in TC Alphas.
cfattach front-end code:
dc_ds for the decstation 2100( pmin), 3100 (pmax), and 5100.
dc_ioasic for the decstation 5000/200 (3max) which does not have a
DEC TC-style IOCTL asic, but is configured as if it did.
* Add pre-autoconfig code initialization of kerenl dc driver console I/O
for remote serial consoles. The hack to use PROM serial I/O until the
dc device is autoconfigured is no longer necessary.
* Add MIPS make variable pointing at $S/arch/mips
* Build locore from $MIPS/mips locore source
* Build locore.o and fp.o (fp emulation) from arch/mips locore source
* Add target and rules to build pmax-specific locore code locore_machdep.o
from $PMAX/pmax/lcore_machdep.S
>* Use `-S' rather than `-x' to remove debugging symbols.
because the pmax toolchain and gcc disagree about what is a "local"
symbol, and ld requires a "-x" to let elf2aout build bootable a.out kernels.
to call mcount(). This is needed because the ``link a6,#0'' insn used
trips up gcc's ANSI preprocessor (A # in a function-type macro must be
followed by a macro argument). _PROF_PROLOG is also used in the i386
asm.h.
Solaris' asm_linkage.h has a MCOUNT macro similar to _PROF_PROLOG
except it expands to different code sequences based on whether a
function is being compiled with "prof" or "gprof" instrumentation.
I also discovered that the m68k ALTENTRY is very different than the
implementation used by other NetBSD ports. Usually ALTENTRY simply
provides an alternate function entry point. The m68k version takes a
second argument and jumps inside the second function when profiling is
enabled. The m68k behavior is similar to the ENTRY2 macro found in
solaris.
Providing ENTRY2 and changing all the code that uses ALTENTRY to use
it would be a desirable change.
