rmind e225b7bd09 Welcome to 5.99.53! Merge rmind-uvmplock branch: - Reorganize locking in UVM and provide extra serialisation for pmap(9). New lock order: [vmpage-owner-lock] -> pmap-lock. - Simplify locking in some pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking. - Use lock object on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) to share the locks amongst UVM objects where necessary (tmpfs, layerfs, unionfs). - Rewrite and optimise x86 TLB shootdown code, make it simpler and cleaner. Add TLBSTATS option for x86 to collect statistics about TLB shootdowns. - Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking (removes kernel-lock on some ports). Also, avoid cache-aliasing issues. Thanks to Andrew Doran and Joerg Sonnenberger, as their initial patches formed the core changes of this branch.		2011-06-12 03:35:36 +00:00

This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the
swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in
high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See
http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html
for some technical data.

The highlights:
- MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor)
- 8 or 32 MByte RAM
- 2 serial ports on Z85c30
- 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet
- 53c710 SCSI

The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of
a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works
diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root.
It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however.

To start it:
- make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>"
- load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M)
- jump to 0x20100400
