the precision of getnanotime() is not suitable for file timestamps.
esp. when it's nfs-exported.
- introduce vfs_timestamp().
(the name is from freebsd. currently merely a wrapper of nanotime())
- for ufs-like filesystems, use it rather than getnanotime().
XXX check other filesystems.
2) Modify pnpbus attachment code to record the chipid of the device if it
has one.
3) Change the clock probes to use the chipid, rather than relying on
potentially untrustworthy subtype and interface.
4) Add decoding of memory ranges to the RESIDUAL_DUMP code.
5) Add a we@pnpbus device to allow netbooting and root device detection
from an IBM we ethernet. (it will only work if your firmware detects it)
6) Because I moved the pnpbus probe to occur prior to pci and isa, it
screwed up the root device detection and firmware path building code.
Completely rewrite the fw-path detection code to deal with this.
PIIX support to release its mapping on the edge/level control registers.
Now that these are guaranteed to be unmapped, capture and restore the
registers in piixpcib(4)'s powerhook. The same will need to be done on a
per-chipset basis.
Concerns were raised about calling pci_intr_fixup on resume WRT hotplug
devices, so this has been removed.
Ok cube@.
backend for timecounters.
Due to known bugs in some chipsets, always read until we get 3 successive
samples which are monotonic, as FreeBSD does in its "safe" variant.
This can be refined later, either by chipset quirks or by a test (as
FreeBSD does).
and INSTALL_SMALL. Since floppy images have to fit on one floppy, we
have to really cut down on the drivers on that image, but people
netbooting don't have that problem, so they deserve a more featured
kernel to install with. (namely one with raid support and more ethernet
drivers)
Otherwise, if there are two resources definitions of the same type in _CRS,
the same one from _PRS will be used twice, which of course leads to errors.
Note: _PRS is Possible Resources Set
_CRS is Current Resources Set
XXX acpi_allocate_resources is still very weak, e.g. it completely ignores
StartDependentFn entries which are kind of a switch. But at least it's
slightly better that way.
Tested by jmcneill@.
ntp on my 7248, however, my 7043-140 is still a bit flaky. I suspect the
only way to fix the 7043 is going to be writing a timecounter driver for
the 8254 present on these machines. Either way, this makes some of the
machines better, and the other machines are still about the same as they
were before, so it's a net gain for the port.
partitions. We do this by checking the NetBSD label to see if the
boot partition is of type RAID. If so, we offset reads from the
disk so that the kernel image can be read.
Note that with this code, sun4 machines (with PROM monitor) will only
boot from RAID if the RAID partition is the first one on the disk.
Tested on a SPARCstation 20, a SPARCstation 2 and a 4/330.

NetBSD Foundation Membership still pending.) This stack was written by
Iain under sponsorship from Itronix Inc.
The stack includes support for rfcomm networking (networking via your
bluetooth enabled cell phone), hid devices (keyboards/mice), and headsets.
Drivers for both PCMCIA and USB bluetooth controllers are included.
