used with Terasic's DE-4 and other similar FPGA boards. This display
is 800x480 and includes a capacitive touch screen, multi-touch
gesture recognition, etc. This device driver depends on a Cambridge-
provided IP core that allows the MTL device to be hooked up to the
Altera Avalon SoC bus, and also provides a VGA-like text frame buffer.
Although it is compiled as a single device driver, it actually
implements a number of different device nodes exporting various
aspects of this multi-function device to userspace:
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL 24-bit pixel frame buffer.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL control register set.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL text frame buffer.
- syscons attachment for the MTL text frame buffer.
This driver attaches directly to Nexus as is common for SoC device
drivers, and for the time being is considered BERI-specific, although
in principle it might be used with other hard and soft cores on
Altera FPGAs.
Control registers, including touchscreen input, are simply memory
mapped; in the future it would be desirable to hook up a more
conventional device node that can stream events, support kqueue(2)/
poll(2)/select(2), etc.
This is the first use of syscons on MIPS, as far as I can tell, and
there are some loose ends, such as an inability to use the hardware
cursor. More fundamentally, it appears that syscons(4) assumes that
either a host is PC-like (i386, amd64) *or* it must be using a
graphical frame buffer. While the MTL supports a graphical frame
buffer, using the text frame buffer is preferable for console use.
Fixing this issue in syscons(4) requires non-trivial changes, as the
text frame buffer support assumes that direct memory access can be
done to the text frame buffer without using bus accessor methods,
which is not the case on MIPS. As a workaround for this, we instead
double-buffer and pretend to be a graphical frame buffer exposing
text accessor methods, leading to some quirks in syscons behaviour.

which presents a UART-like interface over the Avalon bus that can be
addressed over JTAG. This IP core proves extremely useful, allowing us to
connect trivially to the FreeBSD console over JTAG for FPGA-embedded hard
and soft cores. As interrupts are optionally configured for this soft
core, we support both interrupt-driven and polled modes of operation,
which must be selected using device.hints. UART instances appear in /dev
as ttyu0, ttyu1, etc.
However, it also contains a number of quirks, which make it difficult to
tell when JTAG is connected, and some buffering issues. We work around
these as best we can, using various heuristics.
While the majority of this device driver is not only not BERI-specific,
but also not MIPS-specific, for now add its defines in the BERI files
list, as the console-level parts are aware of where the first JTAG UART
is mapped on Avalon, and contain MIPS-specific address translation, to
use before Newbus and device.hints are available.

First, pmap_clear_modify() is write protecting all mappings to the specified
page, not just clearing the modified bit. Specifically, it sets PTE_RO on
the PTE, which is wrong. Moreover, it is calling vm_page_dirty(), which is
not the expected behavior for pmap_clear_modify(). Generally speaking, the
machine-independent VM layer masks these mistakes. For example, setting
PTE_RO will result in additional soft faults, but not a catastrophe.
Second, pmap_clear_modify() may not clear the modified bits because it only
iterates over the PV list when the page has the PV_TABLE_MOD flag set and
elsewhere the pmap clears the PV_TABLE_MOD flag anytime a modified mapping
is write protected or destroyed. However, the page may still have other
mappings with the modified bit set.

advantages. First, PV entries are roughly half the size. Second, this
allocator doesn't access the paging queues, and thus it will allow for the
removal of the page queues lock from this pmap.
Fix a rather serious bug in pmap_remove_write(). After removing write
access from the specified page's first mapping, pmap_remove_write() then
used the wrong "next" pointer. Consequently, the page's second, third,

The machine-independent parts of the virtual memory system always pass a
valid pmap to the pmap functions that require one. Remove the checks for
NULL. (These checks have their origins in the Mach pmap.c that was
integrated into BSD. None of the new code written specifically for
FreeBSD included them.)
Reduce the size of a PV entry by eliminating pv_ptem. There is no need
to store a pointer to the page table page in the PV entry because it is
easily computed during the walk down the page table.
Eliminate the ptphint from the pmap. Long, long ago, page table pages
belonged to a vm object, and we would look up page table pages based
upon their offset within this vm object. In those days, this hint may
have had tangible benefits.

Modify MIPS page table entry (PTE) initialisation so that cachability
bits are set only once, using is_cacheable_mem() to determine what
caching properties are required, rather than also unconditionally
setting PTE_C_CACHE in init_pte_prot(). As PTE_C_CACHE |
PTE_C_UNCACHED == PTE_C_CACHE, this meant that all userspace memory
mappings of device memory (incorrectly) used caching TLB entries.
This is arguably not quite what we want, even though it is (more)
consistent with the MIPS pmap design: PTE caching properties should
be derived from machine-independent page table attributes, but this
is a substantially more complex change as the MIPS pmap doesn't yet
know about page attributes, causing it to ignore requests by device
drivers that want uncached userspace memory mappings as they
describe memory-mapped FIFOs or shared memory with a device not
participating in the cache coherence scheme.
This fixes cacheability issues (specifically, undesired and
unrequested caching) seen in userspace memory mappings of Avalon SoC
bus device memory on BERI MIPS.

The last 12 bits of the limit registers have to be set to 1. These
bits are not significant in bridge BARs and are 0 on read, but the
bits are valid in the swap limit register and needs to be set.
This is required for ARM EABI. Section 7.1.1 of the Procedure Call for the
ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as either an unsigned int or an
unsigned short with the former preferred.
Because of this requirement we need to move the definition of __wchar_t to
a machine dependent header. It also cleans up the macros defining the limits
of wchar_t by defining __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in the same machine
dependent header then using them to define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX

prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also

currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.

panic() is a preferred failure mode. For example, do this for the
