few "general purpose registers" whose values control chip behavior in ways
that have nothing to do with IO pin mux control. Define a simple API that
other soc-specific code can use to read and write the registers, and provide
the imx51 implementation of them.
soc-wide info lives. It was under dev.imx6_anatop.0.
What does anatop mean anyway? Nobody seems to know, so it's probably
not where somebody will think to look for imx6 hardware info.
These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

platform code, it is expected these will be merged in the future when the
ARM code is more complete.
Until more boards can be tested only use this with the Raspberry Pi and
rrename the functions on the other SoCs.

define a few imx_ccm_foo() functions that are implemented by the imx51 or
imx6 ccm code. Of course, the imx6 ccm code is still more a wish than
reality, so for now its implementations just return hard-coded numbers.
This adds the concept of "operating points," combinations of frequency
and voltage at which the cpu is known to work correctly. Some day these
should come from FDT data, but for now the table is hard-coded.
This also allows tuning the min and max operating frequencies. The min
frequency is what the thermal management code will slow down to if the
core temperature gets too high. The max frequency is what gets used if
the temperature is okay.
Normally the max cannot be set higher than the value burned into the
ocotp fuses as the chip's rated max, but there is now a new sysctl+tunable
cpu_overclock_enable; when set to non-zero it allows raising the frequency
above the ocotp value: USE WITH CARE! (At least one of my imx6 boards
has a cpu whose ocotp values never got set correctly; they claim a max
of 792mhz, but the physical markings on the chip say it's good to 1ghz.)
Because all these values affect the entire SoC, there is a new sysctl
node, hw.imx6, where all these values live. The values that are currently
under dev.imx6_anatop.0 should probably move to hw.imx6 too, because
"anatop" doesn't even mean anything to me, let alone to an end user.
and the functionality it provided into arm/exception.S. Rename the main
irq handling routine from arm_handler_execute() to arm_irq_handler() to
make it more congruent with how other exception handlers are named, and
also update its signature to reflect what has long been reality: it is
passed just a trapframe pointer, no interrupt number argument.
appropriate for each of the 'foo' in the tree. This will allow us to
compile them together (although symbol conflicts prevent us from doing
that today, this just fixes the file name collision).
implementation in arm/machdep.c. Most arm platforms either don't need to
do anything, or just need to call the standard eventtimer init routines.
A generic implementation that does that is now provided via weak linkage.
Any platform that needs to do something different can provide a its own
implementation to override the generic one.
- Don't use spaces or dots in the eventtimer or timecounter names.
They turn into sysctl node names, and it's just confusing.
- Use comparator #3 instead of #1 for one-shot events. There's an
extra 1-cycle penalty in the hardware for accessing the registers
for comparator 1, no point in paying that penalty.
- Lower the quality of the eventtimer from 1000 to 800, because the
device can't support PERCPU timers and some other device in the system
may be able to provide that.
