pass. Rather than providing a whole slew of cache operations that
aren't ever used, distill them down to some useful primitives:
icache_sync_all Synchronize I-cache
icache_sync_range Synchronize I-cache range
dcache_wbinv_all Write-back and Invalidate D-cache
dcache_wbinv_range Write-back and Invalidate D-cache range
dcache_inv_range Invalidate D-cache range
dcache_wb_range Write-back D-cache range
idcache_wbinv_all Write-back and Invalidate D-cache,
Invalidate I-cache
idcache_wbinv_range Write-back and Invalidate D-cache,
Invalidate I-cache range
Note: This does not yet include an overhaul of the actual asm files
that implement the primitives. Instead, we've provided a safe default
for each CPU type, and the individual CPU types can now be optimized
one at a time.
- Create an OMAGIC a.out and objcopy it to a flat binary image; the
Shark OpenFirmware can load the plain binary image, and we will
need to employ this strategy when we switch to ELF.
Note that this leaves a few inconsistencies (no more than we already had though) eg initarm is now prototyped in arm32/machdep.h, however only cats currently makes use of that header.
configuration of devices logically attached to the ISA bus:
* Change the isa_attach_args to have arrays of io, mem, irq, drq
resources.
* Add a "pnpnames" and a linked list of "pnpcompatnames" to the
isa_attach_args. If either of these members are non-NULL,
direct configuration of the bus is being performed. Add an
ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() macro to test for this.
* Drivers are not allowed to modify the isa_attach_args unless
direct configuration is not being performed and the probe fucntion
is returning success.
* Adapt device drivers -- currently, all driver probe routines return
"no match" if ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() evaluates to true.
* Use a common set of exception handlers for all arm32 platforms.
* New FIQ framework based on discussions with Ben Harris, shared
between arm26 and arm32.
Any problems reported by testers have been fixed, and massive
cross-compiling of kernels has shown that any problems that remain
with actually building kernels are not related to this.
not support a value (e.g., it's to be used as "options FOO" instead of
"options FOO=xxx"). options that take a value were converted to
defparam recently.
- minor whitespace & formatting cleanups
<arm/arm32/vmparam.h> (mostly the stuff that's tied to the pmap
implementation).
- Since the MMU definitions in pte.h are specific to ARM processors
that support 32-bit mode, move pte.h to <arm/arm32/pte.h>.
- Make the Netwinder startup file build again (use PT_B|PT_C, rather
than PT_CACHEABLE, since the latter expands to a variable these days).
