the point where it being a macro is no longer sensible, and it will
only be more so in days to come.
BIO_STRATEGY() is now only used from DEV_STRATEGY() and should not
be used directly anymore.
Put the contents of both in the new function dev_strategy() and
make DEV_STRATEGY() call that function.
In addition, this allows us to make the rather magic bufdonebio()
helper function static.
This alse saves hunderedandsome bytes of code in a typical kernel.
Though this is still incomplete and has some missing features such as
exclusive login and event notification, it may be enough for someone
who wants to play with it.
This driver is supposed to work with firewire(4), targ(4) of CAM(4)
and scsi_target(8) which can be found in /usr/share/example/scsi_target.
This driver doesn't require sbp(4) which implements initiator mode.
Sample configuration:
Kernel: (you can use modules as well)
device firewire
device scbus
device targ
device sbp_targ
After reboot:
# mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 10m
md0
# scsi_target 0:0:0 /dev/md0
(Assuming sbp_targ0 on scbus0)
You should find the 10MB HDD on FreeBSD/MacOS X/WinXP or whatever connected
to the target using FireWire.

- Change type of target->luns to allocate an array of LUNs dynamically.
This allows targets to change their number of LUNs after each bus reset.
- Serialize ORB POINTER command for each LUN.
- Improve debug messages.
definition structure. Define one flag, CN_FLAG_NODEBUG, which
indicates the console driver cannot be used in the context of the
debugger. This may be used, for example, if the console device
interacts with kernel services that cannot be used from the
debugger context, such as the network stack. These drivers are
skipped over for calls to cn_checkc() and cn_putc(), and the
calling function simply moves on to the next available console.
- Correct the logic for the AIF array index pointers so that correct slot is
always looked at.
- Copy the full FIB payload size when copying AIF's, not just the first 64
bytes.
Thanks to Mirapoint, Inc, for pointing these problems out and offering a
solution.
about the fpu code here. It should be using fxsave/fxrstor instead of
saving/restoring the control word. The SSE registers are used a lot in
gcc generated code on amd64. I'm not sure how this all fits together
though.
section alignnment of 16 bytes for amd64 and this breaks file(1).
Before:
./cp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for \
FreeBSD 127.7.9, statically linked, stripped
after: ^^^^^^^
./ls: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for \
FreeBSD 5.0.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
The reason for this is that the NOTE sections are not contiguous
internally. If the note section has an alignment of 16, then anything
that looks for the data is supposed to round up the payload start to
the next multiple of the alignment. But FreeBSD/amd64 broke because the
structure is declared as a single structure, not a (header,payload) group,
where the payload had an explicit alignment roundup.
The alternative is to change things like file(1) to ignore the ELF payload
alignment rules for the PT_NOTE section only for FreeBSD.
a fair bit of difference to the power consumption and lets my cpu cool
down enough for the temperature sensitive fan controller to completely
stop the cpu fan at times.
halt state that minimizes power consumption while still preserving
cache and TLB coherency. Halting the processor is not conditional at
this time. Tested with UP and SMP kernels.
