This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
many bugs have been fixed).
Changes:
The wskbd, wsmouse, and wsmux are now "sub-classes" of wsevsrc, which is
a source of ws events. This make the structure of those drivers a little
more uniform.
Many bug fixes involving adding and removing devices from muxes.
When a kernel is configured without wsmux there will now be none (unlike
before where you got a console mux anyway).
The kernel now compiles with all combinations of ws devices present.
* Allow the wsmux used by wsdisplay for the keyboard(s) to be explicitely
specified with the kbdmux locator.
* Allow keyboards and mice that have a mux to be opened in the regular way.
These changes should be totally backwards compatible.
backlight, brightness and contrast.
- Add 9 command key symbols which make wskbd to call wsdisplay's
iocontrol.
- Add special key map variant KB_MACHDEP. This variant does not
have any real keymap but it's just a placeholder for machine dependent
maps which will be overwrite by machine dependent keyboard driver.
* in vga_init(), set the screen type to WSCONS_DEFAULT_TYPE, which defaults
to "80x25".
XXX: the code currently makes no attempt to ensure that a font
with the appropriate width & height is available, effectively
limiting this default to either "80x25" or "80x24" at this
time.
* make wsdisplay_screentype_pick() non static, so that vga_init() can use it
"off_t" and the return value is a "paddr_t" to allow mappings
at offsets past 2^31 bytes. Somewhat inspired by FreeBSD, which
only changed the offset to a "vm_offset_t".
Includes updates for the i386, pc532 and sh3 mmmmap from Jason Thorpe.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
asynchronously, in the same style like the process attach/detach functions
-intercept the "cnpollc" call which originally went directly to the
keyboard driver and keep track whether the console is in "polling" state
(DDB!)
-pass a NULL callback to the screen switcher and the process attach/detach
functions if the console is "polling", to tell them that asynchronous
completion is forbidden
and one which isn't. The latter is now used for ttyEcfg, enabling the
VT-switching ioctls to work on it. (This allows Linux X servers to work when
/emul/linux/dev/tty0 is linked to /dev/ttyEcfg.)
WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS or 0 if it's not defined) and use it instead
of WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS as approptiate, so that number of screens
added on bootup is patchable
move printing of info about added screen into separate routine and
print just one message for all screens added in wsdisplay_common_attach(),
such as:
wsdisplay0: screen 1-7 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)

Now console keyboard and display are connected at autoconfiguration time,
when the last of them is found. Other keyboards / displays remain
unconnected until a new ioctl (WSDISPLAYIO_SETKEYBOARD) is called.

(For INSTALL kernels, WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS can be defined which
sets up that many screens with default parameters.)
contiguous chunk of outq to emulation routine. Fix based on patch
from M. Drochner, modified to call output routine once with each
contiguous chunk when the ring buffer wraps around.
