totally dynamic.
this is only the devices in i386/isa
I'll do more tomorrow.
they're completely masked by #ifdef JREMOD at this stage...
the eventual aim is that every driver will do a SYSINIT
at startup BEFORE the probes, which will effectively
link it into the devsw tables etc.
If I'd thought about it more I'd have put that in in this set (damn)
The ioconf lines generated by config will also end up in the
device's own scope as well, so ioconf.c will eventually be gutted
the SYSINIT call to the driver will include a phase where the
driver links it's ioconf line into a chain of such. when this phase is done
then the user can modify them with the boot: -c
config menu if he wants, just like now..
config will put the config lines out in the .h file
(e.g. in aha.h will be the addresses for the aha driver to look.)
as I said this is a very small first step..
the aim of THIS set of edits is to not have to edit conf.c at all when
adding a new device.. the tabe will be a simple skeleton..
when this is done, it will allow other changes to be made,
all teh time still having a fully working kernel tree,
but the logical outcome is the complete REMOVAL of the devsw tables.
By the end of this, linked in drivers will be exactly the same as
run-time loaded drivers, except they JUST HAPPEN to already be linked
and present at startup..
the SYSINIT calls will be the equivalent of the "init" call
made to a newly loaded driver in every respect.
For this edit,
each of the files has the following code inserted into it:
obviously, tailored to suit..
----------------------somewhere at the top:
#ifdef JREMOD
#include <sys/conf.h>
#define CDEV_MAJOR 13
#define BDEV_MAJOR 4
static void sd_devsw_install();
#endif /*JREMOD */
---------------------somewhere that's run during bootup: EVENTUALLY a SYSINIT
#ifdef JREMOD
sd_devsw_install();
#endif /*JREMOD*/
-----------------------at the bottom:
#ifdef JREMOD
struct bdevsw sd_bdevsw =
{ sdopen, sdclose, sdstrategy, sdioctl, /*4*/
sddump, sdsize, 0 };
struct cdevsw sd_cdevsw =
{ sdopen, sdclose, rawread, rawwrite, /*13*/
sdioctl, nostop, nullreset, nodevtotty,/* sd */
seltrue, nommap, sdstrategy };
static sd_devsw_installed = 0;
static void sd_devsw_install()
{
dev_t descript;
if( ! sd_devsw_installed ) {
descript = makedev(CDEV_MAJOR,0);
cdevsw_add(&descript,&sd_cdevsw,NULL);
#if defined(BDEV_MAJOR)
descript = makedev(BDEV_MAJOR,0);
bdevsw_add(&descript,&sd_bdevsw,NULL);
#endif /*BDEV_MAJOR*/
sd_devsw_installed = 1;
}
}
#endif /* JREMOD */
misplaced extern declarations (mostly prototypes of interrupt handlers)
that this exposed. The prototypes should be moved back to the driver
sources when the functions are staticalized.
Added idempotency guards to <machine/conf.h>. "ioconf.h" can't be
included when building LKMs so define a wart in bsd.kmod.mk to help
guard against including it.
For those where it was easy, drivers were also fixed to call
dev_attach() during probe rather than attach (in keeping with the
new design articulated in a mail message five months ago). For
a few that were really easy, correct state tracking was added as well.
The `fd' driver was fixed to correctly fill in the description.
The CPU identify code was fixed to attach a `cpu' device. The code
was also massively reordered to fill in cpu_model with somethingremotely
resembling what identifycpu() prints out. A few bytes saved by using
%b to format the features list rather than lots of ifs.
Here is the improved probe for the mse (Bus Mouse) device driver. I
have been running with this under 1.1.5.1 as well as 2.0 without a hitch for
quite a while.
Submitted by: lars
and all SCSI devices (except that it's not done quite the way I want). New
information added includes:
- A text description of the device
- A ``state''---unknown, unconfigured, idle, or busy
- A generic parent device (with support in the m.i. code)
- An interrupt mask type field (which will hopefully go away) so that
. ``doconfig'' can be written
This requires a new version of the `lsdev' program as well (next commit).
``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.
This also includes support for second-directory compiles. This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing. You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:
rm /sys/compile
mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
ln -s /sys @
rm machine
ln -s @/i386/include machine
make depend
make
(rick@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca). I am currently using it with a Microsoft
InPort busmouse, under FreeBSD Epsilon. I hadn't planned on supporting it,
but I have patched it a few times, and I guess this is now the de facto
reference version, so send me any problems or improvements.
