(1) Don't attempt aquire the non-recursive lock sio_lock recursively.
Doing so caused unbounded recursion in some setups. E.g., if DDB,
BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and WITNESS are configured; if the debugger is
entered using a break, then WITNESS will actually detect the invalid
recursion and will add to it attempting to print a message about it.
(2) Don't use sio_lock before it has been initialized. The old check
(sio_inited != 0) didn't work when sio_inited was boolean because
sio_inited was set too early, and became just wrong when sio_inited
was changed to a tri-state variable in rev.1.348.
Reported and fixed in another way by: fenner (1)
see people trip over it. Do not set the FIFO trigger to just before it
would otherwise overflow. Give it a little more slop so characters aren't
lost if the interrupt is delayed by other system activities.
MFC maybe: 7 days
- Temporary fix a bug of Intel ACPI CA core code.
- Add OS layer ACPI mutex support. This can be disabled by
specifying option ACPI_NO_SEMAPHORES.
- Add ACPI threading support. Now that we have a dedicate taskqueue for
ACPI tasks and more ACPI task threads can be created by specifying option
ACPI_MAX_THREADS.
- Change acpi_EvaluateIntoBuffer() behavior slightly to reuse given
caller's buffer unless AE_BUFFER_OVERFLOW occurs. Also CM battery's
evaluations were changed to use acpi_EvaluateIntoBuffer().
- Add new utility function acpi_ConvertBufferToInteger().
- Add simple locking for CM battery and temperature updating.
- Fix a minor problem on EC locking.
- Make the thermal zone polling rate to be changeable.
- Change minor things on AcpiOsSignal(); in ACPI_SIGNAL_FATAL case,
entering Debugger is easier to investigate the problem rather than panic.
to Phil Kernick:
"The problem is that in full duplex mode, the Conexant chip always reports a
carrier lost error, even when the frame is successfully sent. So, if we
have a Conexant chip, then ignore carrier lost when in full duplex
mode."
Since the Xircom chips seem to have the same issue and since we already
have a workaround for this, just expand the workaround test to also
check for DC_IS_CONEXANT().
to a label is inside an #ifdef block, then the label should *also* be
inside an #ifdef block. Hide the "done:" label which is only used if
DEVICE_POLLING is enabled under #ifdef DEVICE_POLLING.

actually like to probe for a PC architecture, not for a particular CPU
type. Anyway, now it's again the way it used to be.
sense, and mode select into their 10 byte equivalents. Eventually the
da(4) driver will become more intelligent about this, or at least allow
umass(4) to pass quirks in directly. However, this is a functional
workaround until a better fix is implemented.
- Use the 6 to 10 conversion function to allow the ATAPI and UFI command
sets to emulate 6 byte commands with 10 byte commands.
- Use the ATAPI command set rather than UFI for the ScanLogic SL11R-IDE
as it supports the SYNCH_CACHE command.
- Enable ATAPI command set support.
- Pass READ/WRITE_12 commands through for UFI support as the UFI spec
says they should be supported.
- Update a comment in the UFI translation function since we handle
MODE_SELECT.
- The MD functions critical_enter/exit are renamed to start with a cpu_
prefix.
- MI wrapper functions critical_enter/exit maintain a per-thread nesting
count and a per-thread critical section saved state set when entering
a critical section while at nesting level 0 and restored when exiting
to nesting level 0. This moves the saved state out of spin mutexes so
that interlocking spin mutexes works properly.
- Most low-level MD code that used critical_enter/exit now use
cpu_critical_enter/exit. MI code such as device drivers and spin
mutexes use the MI wrappers. Note that since the MI wrappers store
the state in the current thread, they do not have any return values or
arguments.
- mtx_intr_enable() is replaced with a constant CRITICAL_FORK which is
assigned to curthread->td_savecrit during fork_exit().

Will hopefully replace this with a callibration loop in time for 4.5R

MFC after: 3 days
. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
commonly used media densities. So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
asked. It's all that easy, isn't it? :)
. Device density handling has been completely overhauled. The old way
of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there. Instead,
the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive. The first
subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
devices are freely programmable. They can be assigned an arbitrary
name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
depending on the taste of the administrator. After creating a
subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
densities by using fdcontrol(8). Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.
. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
devices down from the loader via device flags. On IA32
architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
configuration records though. On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
assumed.
. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.
. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention. (Can
be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
perform the autoselection.)
. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
it -- not all do these days).
. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
only a few ioctls are accepted. This is necessary to run fdformat
on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).
. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
the chips anyway.
BUGS and TODOs:
. All documentation update still needs to be done.
. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
have yet to figure out why this happens. "Standard" formats like
720 and 1440 KB do work, however.
. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).
. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
really detected. Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.
