Improved locking (not that we actually use it on a uniprocessor, but one day :)
Removed unneeded splvm's
tweaked pmap_clean_page code to only flush the cache if the page is mapped in the current pmap (based on diff from richard E)
Adopted pv entry allocation mechanism from i386.
Laid framework for returning ptp's when we've finished with them rather than holding onto them till the process exits.
ptp's are now allocated with a uvm object for the pmap, means that we can walk a list to free them off in pmap_release, until they get freed off by pmap_remove.
Also implemented a page zeroing function when the processor is idling. Note that hpcarm may wish to disable this.
I believe this code to be stable, if anyone has any problems please shout up.
each vm_page structure. Add a VM_MDPAGE_INIT() macro to init this
data when pages are initialized by UVM. These macros are mandatory,
but ports may #define them to nothing if they are not needed/used.
This deprecates struct pmap_physseg. As a transitional measure,
allow a port to #define PMAP_PHYSSEG so that it can continue to
use it until its pmap is converted to use VM_MDPAGE_MEMBERS.
Use all this stuff to eliminate a lot of extra work in the Alpha
pmap module (it's smaller and faster now). Changes to other pmap
modules will follow.
and use appropriately
- create more helper macros:
. cdev__xyz_init(c,n), such as cdev__ocri_init() for
/* open, close, read, ioctl */, etc.
. cdev__xRy_init(c,n), where nullop is used instead of enodev to dummy out
method `R' and the comments now read /* xxx (read) yyy */ instead
. cdev__xyz_t_init(c,n,t) - as per cdev__xyz_init, but sets d_type = t
as well
- use seltrue instead of dev_noimpl(poll,*), as (IIRC) cdevsw.d_poll should
always DTRT WRT returning a valid result. (a few devices previously
incorrectly returned ENODEV)
- use dev_noimpl(stop,enodev) instead of dev_noimpl(stop,nullop) if tty
== 0, because it doesn't matter if dev_type_stop isn't implemented in that
case, and it allows the use of the cdev__xyz_init macros. certain ports
(sparc,sparc64,x68k) used the nullop method for dev_type_stop in a few
drivers, whereas everything else uses enodev
- ensure that the comments are accurate WRT the behaviour of a given entry
tree into the new arm substree. All moved files are relinked with a stub that included
the file from the new location; this might be done better later.
