- Don't print out meaningless iCOMP numbers, those are for droids.
- Use a shorter wait to determine clock rate to avoid deficiencies
in DELAY().
- Use a fixed-point representation with 8 bits of fraction to store
the rate and rationalize the variable name. It would be
possible to use even more fraction if it turns out to be
worthwhile (I rather doubt it).
The question of source code arrangement remains unaddressed.
conflicted with S3 graphics cards. Now users should put sio[2-3]
in the config file if the hardware exisst, even if the probe is
certain to fail due to an interrupt conflict. Otherwise, ports
sharing the interrupt may fail the probe if the system is warm
booted while sio[2-3] are active (perhaps under another OS). The
same problem for nonstandard ports is now handled better than
before.
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..
Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.
some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.
BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...
If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..
as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
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,

Fix the tests for being a console by reverting to the ones that

to be tested in one place. The initialization of comconsole was

may have been the cause of the unnecessary changes.
Start eliminating #includes of <i386/i386/cons.h>. This header is

than a small chance that the sleep address is actually used (this
used to work by timing out). Don't bother clearing the sleep-on
flag after a timeout here or elsewhere since leaving it set just
generates a few null calls to wakeup().
Introduce TS_CONNECTED and TS_ZOMBIE states. TS_CONNECTED is set
while a connection is established. It is set while (TS_CARR_ON or
CLOCAL is set) and TS_ZOMBIE is clear. TS_ZOMBIE is set for on to
off transitions of TS_CARR_ON that occur when CLOCAL is clear and
is cleared for off to on transitions of CLOCAL. I/o can only occur
while TS_CONNECTED is set. TS_ZOMBIE prevents further i/o.
Split the input-event sleep address TSA_CARR_ON(tp) into TSA_CARR_ON(tp)
and TSA_HUP_OR_INPUT(tp). The former address is now used only for
off to on carrier transitions and equivalent CLOCAL transitions.
The latter is used for all input events, all carrier transitions
and certain CLOCAL transitions. There are some harmless extra
wakeups for rare connection- related events. Previously there were
too many extra wakeups for non-rare input events.
Drivers now call l_modem() instead of setting TS_CARR_ON directly
to handle even the initial off to on transition of carrier. They
should always have done this. l_modem() now handles TS_CONNECTED
and TS_ZOMBIE as well as TS_CARR_ON.

Set TS_CONNECTED for first open ourself to go with bogusly setting

i386/isa/syscons.c, i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_drv.c:
We fake carrier, so don't also fake CLOCAL.
kern/tty.c:
Testing TS_CONNECTED instead of TS_CARR_ON fixes TIOCCONS forgetting to
test CLOCAL. TS_ISOPEN was tested instead, but that broke when we disabled
the clearing of TS_ISOPEN for certain transitions of CLOCAL.
Testing TS_CONNECTED fixes ttyselect() returning false success for output
to devices in state !TS_CARR_ON && !CLOCAL.
Optimize the other selwakeup() call (this is not related to the other

Use input buffer watermarks of TTYHOG-512 (high) and (high)*7/8
(low) instead of TTYHOG/2 (high) and TTYHOG/5 (low) to agree with
some drivers. 512 is magic and some things depended on TTYHOG/2
>= TTYHOG-512 to work; now they depend on the 512 magic not changing
and TTYHOG-512 being significantly larger than 0. This should be
handled in ttsetwater().
Separate the decision about whether to do input flow control from
doing it. ttyblock() now just starts input flow control (hardware
and/or software) and there is a new function ttyunblock() to stop
it. The decisions are the same except for the watermark changes
and allowing for input expansion for PARMRK.
When flushing input, try harder at first to send a start character
if required, but give up if the first attempt fails.
cy.c, rc.c, sio.c:
Simplify: let ttyinput() handle input flow control if it is not
being bypassed. Use ttyblock() to start flow control otherwise.
rc.c:
Use same input flow control test as elsewhere: test in a more
efficient order and start flow control at >= highwater instead of
at > highwater.

It's probably not worth making ttwwakeup() a macro or an inline

there is a process to wake up. There is usually a process to wake
up for large writes and the system call overhead dwarfs the function
call overhead for small writes.
were two races:
- q_to_b() might unexpectedly return 0 (e.g, after a keyboard signal
flushes the output queue and isn't echoed). ansi_put() interprets
0 bytes as 4GB...
- more output (e.g. for echoes) might arrive afer q_to_b() returns 0.
Then scstart() returns presumably and the new output might not be
handled for a long time.
Remove unused function scxint().
Fix prototypes (foo() isn't a prototype).
syscons' output is now only about 4-5 times slower than I want.
It loses a factor of 2 for scrolling output by unnecessarily copying

no ports are active, provided there are no polled ports and no
`LOSESOUTINTS' ports. Do a little more in the interrupt handler instead.
This is a little less efficient if there are are many active ports but
a little more efficient otherwise. Polled ports are ones with no irq
specified (as before). `LOSESOUTINTS' ports are ones with 0x08 set in
their config flags. Unless this flag is set, it will now take up to one
second to recover from lost output interrupts, if any. Some 8250s and
16450s lose output interrupts.
Improve output buffering: copy the clist buffer to 2 linear buffers if
necessary and possible instead of to 1. Handle an arbitrary queue of
buffers in the interrupt handler. Check for waking up sleepers after
copying characters out of the clist buffer instead of before.

to access it. setdelayed() actually ORs the bits in `idelayed' into
`ipending' and clears `idelayed'.
Call setdelayed() every (normal) clock tick to convert delayed
interrupts into pending ones.
Drivers can set bits in `idelayed' at any time to schedule an interrupt
at the next clock tick. This is more efficient than calling timeout().
Currently only software interrupts can be scheduled.
The ``flags 1'' in the fdc line is now only needed for owners of an

Fix endless loop in siopoll() for an event on a tty with no tty struct.
Don't generate unwanted interrupts in the serial console driver. These
bugs probably don't matter unless the tty struct is dynamically allocated.
Support polled mode. To use it, leave out the irq and the vector in
the config file. It only causes extra overhead for open polled ports.
The maximum usable speed is approximately 1000 bps for a 16450 and
15000 bps for a 16550.

Nuke spinwait().
This code is mostly taken from the 1.1 port (which was in turn taken from
Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:
1) ntp_gettime() is now a MIB variable rather than a system call. A few
fiddles are done in libc to make it behave the same.
2) mono_time does not participate in the PLL adjustments.
3) A new interface has been defined (in <machine/clock.h>) for doing
possibly machine-dependent things around the time of the clock update.
This is used in Pentium kernels to disable interrupts, set `time', and
reset the CPU cycle counter as quickly as possible to avoid jitter in
microtime(). Measurements show an apparent resolution of a bit more than
8.14usec, which is reasonable given system-call overhead.

First round of floppy changes. Try making `fd' more robust.
New features:
. ioctl command for setting the drive type (density etc.); restricted
to the super-user
. ioctl for getting/seting `drive options'; currently only option
is FDOPT_NORETRY: inhibit the usual retries; used when verifying
a newly formatted track
Fixes:
. function prototypes
. made all internal functions `static'
. cleaned up & corrected .h files
. restructured, to make the chaotic function sequence more rational
. compiled with -Wall, and cleared all warnings
. introduced a mirror for the (write-only) `digital output register',
to avoid the current kludge
. device probing completed by seeking/recalibrating, and looking
for track 0 being found
. holding the controller down in reset state while it is idle (and
thus saving allot of headaches)
. make requests fail that are not a multiple of the (physical)
sector size
. removed the fixed physical sector size (512 bytes), allowing for any
size the controller could handle (128/256/512/1024 bytes)
. replaced some silly messages
. fixed the TRACE* macro usage, debugging reports should be complete
now again (debugging output is HUGE! though)
. removed fd_timeout for SEEK command; seeks are always reported by
the controller to succeed, since the `success' only refers to the
controller's idea of success - there is no hardware line to tell about
the seek end (other than the `track 0' line)
. catch SENSEI's that report about a `terminated due to READY changed'
status - could happen after a controller reset
. converted ``hz / <something>'' divide operations to divisors that are
powers of two, so gcc can optimize them into shifts
. write/format operations are checked against a write-protected medium
now *prior* starting the operation
. error reports of `invalid command' and `wrong cylinder' will cause
shortcuts in the retrier() now
. fixed a bug in the retrier() causing bogus block numbers to be reported
. fdformat() does care for errors now
Known Bugs:
. no attempts have been made (yet) to improve the performance
. sometimes, bogus ``seek/recalib failed'' messages are logged; this
is still a bug in the driver, but it's not harmful since it's
usually caught by the retrier()

you download the microcode to the DSP everytime you power on your system.
They provide a dos-program to do so, but no other support. This commit adds

To get this functionality, you must define DSI_SOFT_MODEM.
The program to actually employ the ioctl is not included, but the entire

Finished conversion to clists: removed flush of tty output buffer

Finished conversion to 2.0 types - more void *'s, less caddr_t's,

Only these things are seriously broken now compared with 1.1.5:
waiting for output complete is impossible so ttywait() can deadlock;
sioclose() isn't called enough so sioopen() sometimes returns EBUSY

/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/clock.c:
o Garrett's statclock changes.
o Wire xxxintr, not Vclk.
o Wire using register_intr(), not setidt().
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/icu.s:
o Garrett's statclock changes.
o Removed unused variable high_imask.
o Fake int 8 for rtc as well as int 0 for clk. Required for kernel
profiling with statclock, harmless otherwise.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa.c:
o Allow isdp->id_irq and other things in *isdp to be changed by
probes. Changing interrupts later requires direct calls to
register_intr() and unregister_intr() and more care.
ALLOW_CONFLICT_* is brought over from 1.1.5, except
ALLOW_CONFLICT_IRQ is not supported. IRQ conflict checking is
delayed until after probing so that drivers can change the IRQ
to a free one; real conflicts require more cooperation between
drivers to handle.
o Too many details to list.
o This file requires splitting and a lot more work.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa_device.h:
o Declare more things more completely.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/sio.c:
o Prepare to register interrupt handlers as fast.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/vector.s:
o Generate entry code for 16 fast interrupt handlers and 16 normal
interrupt handlers. Changed some constants to variables:
# $unit is now intr_unit[intr]. Type is int. Someday it should
be a cookie suitable for the handler (e.g., a struct com_s for
sio).
# $handler is now intr_handler[intr].
# intrcnt_actv[id_num] is now *intr_countp[intr]. The indirection
is required to get a contiguous range of counters for vmstat
and so that the drivers depend more in the driver than on the
interrupt number (drivers could take turns using an interrupt
and the counts would remain correct). There is a separate
counter for each device and for each stray interrupt. In
1.1.5, stray interrupt 7 clobbers the count for device 7 or
something worse if there is no device 7 :-(.
# mask is now intr_mask[intr] (was already indirect).
o Entry points are now _XintrI and _XfastintrI (I = intr = 0-15),
not _VdevU (U = unit).
o Removed BUILD_VECTORS stuff. There's a trace of it left for
the string table for vmstat but config now generates the
string in one piece because nothing more is required.
o Removed old handling of stray interrupts and older comments
about it.

the NTP kernel PLL is disabled, and acquire_timer0() is enabled, thus
opening the door for microtime() (and hence gettimeofday()) to return
bogus timestamps. This option is necessary for the `pca' driver to
work, but is implemented to underscore the fact that accurate timekeeping
and the `pca' driver are incompatible at present. If someone writes a version
of microtime() that works when the `pca' driver is being used, this can get
junked.

---
This list of changes is in approximately chronological order (oldest first).
o Many cosmetic changes - renamed comintr1 -> siointr1, moved
things around and fixed whitespace.
o Reduced SLIP latency (FRAME_END hack) from 20-30 ms to 16 ms
at 115200 bps (you won't notice the average 10 ms improvement
on slow lines). ppp seems to use only counted transfers so
there's no similar hack available. It's too hard for the
driver to know the count.
o Temporary #ifdefs for new and old interrupt handling
(OLD_INTERRUPT_HANDLING decided by setsofttty() not being
externally defined.
o Don't test for the IIR_NOPEND bit being set - test for the
non-fifo part of the iir equalling it like the docs say to.
States with other IIR_NOPEND set in combination with the
other iir bits are undefined. The docs may be stupid - the
old test would not have broken when the fifo bits were
introduced.
o Noted more problems with DTR wait.
o Rewrote console stuff. Still some initialization and state
preservation problems. Same for kgdb stuff. The driver
doesn't do anything about the console close bug. It needs
to be fixed entirely in i386/cons.c. I like chmr's version
where the the console driver revectors the device open and
close routines.
o Temporary (?) #ifdefs for references to tty buffers.
o Noted further things to do in (2 comments about 3 places) for
phk's change to not touch RTS unless it is being used for flow
control.
o Temporary #ifdefs for timestamp handling. It needs fixing.
The microtime() call breaks the first rule of writing fast
interrupt handlers: NO calls to functions that might do slow
and bad things. microtime() enables interrupts. This turns
out to be only moderately harmful. Also, I want the timestamp
copy outside of the normal interrupt handler.
o Don't init com->tp early for the !DONT_MALLOC_TTYS case -
both sides are NULL.
o Worry about com->tp == NULL in siopoll. I don't see how you
survived the (incc <= 0 || !(tp->state & TS_ISOPEN)) test.
Perhaps early sttys or comcontrols set up the tp's for _all_
the ports before this code is reached.
list of changes, I've made the following additional changes:
1) i386/include/ipl.h renamed to spl.h as the name conflicts with the
file of the same name in i386/isa/ipl.h.
2) changed all use of *mask (i.e. netmask, biomask, ttymask, etc) to
*_imask (net_imask, etc).
3) changed vestige of splnet use in if_is to splimp.
4) got rid of "impmask" completely (Bruce had gotten rid of netmask),
and are now using net_imask instead.
5) dozens of minor cruft to glue in Bruce's changes.
These require changes I made to config(8) as well, and thus it must
be rebuilt.

from Bruce Evans:
sio:
o No diff is supplied. Remove the define of setsofttty(). I hope
that is enough.
*.s:
o i386/isa/debug.h no longer exists. The event counters became too
much trouble to maintain. All function call entry and exception
entry counters can be recovered by using profiling kernel (the new
profiling supports all entry points; however, it is too slow to
leave enabled all the time; it also). Only BDBTRAP() from debug.h
is now used. That is moved to exception.s. It might be worth
preserving SHOW_BITS() and calling it from _mcount() (if enabled).
o T_ASTFLT is now only set just before calling trap().
o All exception handlers set SWI_AST_MASK in cpl as soon as possible
after entry and arrange for _doreti to restore it atomically with
exiting. It is not possible to set it atomically with entering
the kernel, so it must be checked against the user mode bits in
the trap frame before committing to using it. There is no place
to store the old value of cpl for syscalls or traps, so there are
some complications restoring it.
Profiling stuff (mostly in *.s):
o Changes to kern/subr_mcount.c, gcc and gprof are not supplied yet.
o All interesting labels `foo' are renamed `_foo' and all
uninteresting labels `_bar' are renamed `bar'. A small change
to gprof allows ignoring labels not starting with underscores.
o MCOUNT_LABEL() is to provide names for counters for times spent
in exception handlers.
o FAKE_MCOUNT() is a version of MCOUNT() suitable for exception
handlers. Its arg is the pc where the exception occurred. The
new mcount() pretends that this was a call from that pc to a
suitable MCOUNT_LABEL().
o MEXITCOUNT is to turn off any timer started by MCOUNT().
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/exception.s:
o The non-BDB BPTTRAP() macros were doing a sti even when interrupts
were disabled when the trap occurred. The sti (fixed) sti is
actually a no-op unless you have my changes to machdep.c that make
the debugger trap gates interrupt gates, but fixing that would
make the ifdefs messier. ddb seems to be unharmed by both
interrupts always disabled and always enabled (I had the branch in
the fix back to front for some time :-().
o There is no known pushal bug.
o tf_err can be left as garbage for syscalls.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/locore.s:
o Fix and update BDE_DEBUGGER support.
o ENTRY(btext) before initialization was dangerous.
o Warm boot shot was longer than intended.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c:
o DON'T APPLY ALL OF THIS DIFF. It's what I'm using, but may require
other changes.
Use the following:
o Remove aston() and setsoftclock().
Maybe use the following:
o No netisr.h.
o Spelling fix.
o Delay to read the Rebooting message.
o Fix for vm system unmapping a reduced area of memory
after bounds_check_with_label() reduces the size of
a physical i/o for a partition boundary. A similar
fix is required in kern_physio.c.
o Correct use of __CONCAT. It never worked here for non-
ANSI cpp's. Is it time to drop support for non-ANSI?
o gdt_segs init. 0xffffffffUL is bogus because ssd_limit
is not 32 bits. The replacement may have the same
value :-), but is more natural.
o physmem was one page too low. Confusing variable names.
Don't use the following:
o Better numbers of buffers. Each 8K page requires up to
16 buffer headers. On my system, this results in 5576
buffers containing [up to] 2854912 bytes of memory.
The usual allocation of about 384 buffers only holds
192K of disk if you use it on an fs with a block size
of 512.
o gdt changes for bdb.
o *TGT -> *IDT changes for bdb.
o #ifdefed changes for bdb.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/microtime.s:
o Use the correct asm macros. I think asm.h was copied from Mach
just for microtime and isn't used now. It certainly doesn't
belong in <sys>. Various macros are also duplicated in
sys/i386/boot.h and libc/i386/*.h.
o Don't switch to and from the IRR; it is guaranteed to be selected
(default after ICU init and explicitly selected in isa.c too, and
never changed until the old microtime clobbered it).
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/support.s:
o Non-essential changes (none related to spls or profiling).
o Removed slow loads of %gs again. The LDT support may require
not relying on %gs, but loading it is not the way to fix it!
Some places (copyin ...) forgot to load it. Loading it clobbers
the user %gs. trap() still loads it after certain types of
faults so that fuword() etc can rely on it without loading it
explicitly. Exception handlers don't restore it. If we want
to preserve the user %gs, then the fastest method is to not
touch it except for context switches. Comparing with
VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS and branching takes only 2 or 4 cycles on
a 486, while loading %gs takes 9 cycles and using it takes
another.
o Fixed a signed branch to unsigned.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/swtch.s:
o Move spl0() outside of idle loop.
o Remove cli/sti from idle loop. sw1 does a cli, and in the
unlikely event of an interrupt occurring and whichqs becoming
zero, sw1 will just jump back to _idle.
o There's no spl0() function in asm any more, so use splz().
o swtch() doesn't need to be superaligned, at least with the
new mcounting.
o Fixed a signed branch to unsigned.
o Removed astoff().
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/trap.c:
o The decentralized extern decls were inconsistent, of course.
o Fixed typo MATH_EMULTATE in comments. */
o Removed unused variables.
o Old netmask is now impmask; print it instead. Perhaps we
should print some of the new masks.
o BTW, trap() should not print anything for normal debugger
traps.
/usr/src/sys/i386/include/asmacros.h:
o DON'T APPLY ALL OF THIS DIFF. Just use some of the null macros
as necessary.
/usr/src/sys/i386/include/cpu.h:
o CLKF_BASEPRI() changes since cpl == SWI_AST_MASK is now normal
while the kernel is running.
o Don't use var++ to set boolean variables. It fails after a mere
4G times :-) and is slower than storing a constant on [3-4]86s.
/usr/src/sys/i386/include/cpufunc.h:
o DON'T APPLY ALL OF THIS DIFF. You need mainly the include of
<machine/ipl.h>. Unfortunately, <machine/ipl.h> is needed by
almost everything for the inlines.
/usr/src/sys/i386/include/ipl.h:
o New file. Defines spl inlines and SWI macros and declares most
variables related to hard and soft interrupt masks.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/icu.h:
o Moved definitions to <machine/ipl.h>
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/icu.s:
o Software interrupts (SWIs) and delayed hardware interrupts (HWIs)
are now handled uniformally, and dispatching them from splx() is
more like dispatching them from _doreti. The dispatcher is
essentially *(handler[ffs(ipending & ~cpl)]().
o More care (not quite enough) is taken to avoid unbounded nesting
of interrupts.
o The interface to softclock() is changed so that a trap frame is
not required.
o Fast interrupt handlers are now handled more uniformally.
Configuration is still too early (new handlers would require
bits in <machine/ipl.h> and functions to vector.s).
o splnnn() and splx() are no longer here; they are inline functions
(could be macros for other compilers). splz() is the nontrivial
part of the old splx().
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/ipl.h
o New file. Supposed to have only bus-dependent stuff. Perhaps
the h/w masks should be declared here.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/isa.c:
o DON'T APPLY ALL OF THIS DIFF. You need only things involving
*mask and *MASK and comments about them. netmask is now a pure
software mask. It works like the softclock mask.
/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/vector.s:
o Reorganize AUTO_EOI* macros.
o Option FAST_INTR_HANDLER_USERS_ES for people who don't trust
fastintr handlers.
o fastintr handlers need to metamorphose into ordinary interrupt
handlers if their SWI bit has become set. Previously, sio had
unintended latency for handling output completions and input
of SLIP framing characters because this was not done.
/usr/src/sys/net/netisr.h:
o The machine-dependent stuff is now imported from <machine/ipl.h>.
/usr/src/sys/sys/systm.h
o DON'T APPLY ALL OF THIS DIFF. You need mainly the different
splx() prototype. The spl*() prototypes are duplicated as
inlines in <machine/ipl.h> but they need to be duplicated here
in case there are no inlines. I sent systm.h and cpufunc.h
to Garrett. We agree that spl0 should be replaced by splnone
and not the other way around like I've done.
/usr/src/sys/kern/kern_clock.c
o splsoftclock() now lowers cpl so the direct call to softclock()
works as intended.
o softclock() interface changed to avoid passing the whole frame
(some machines may need another change for profile_tick()).
o profiling renamed _profiling to avoid ANSI namespace pollution.
(I had to improve the mcount() interface and may as well fix it.)
The GUPROF variant doesn't actually reference profiling here,
but the 'U' in GUPROF should mean to select the microtimer
mcount() and not change the interface.
