the second-last 64k seems to be the default firmware board configuration
area.
Since I have no idea whether uboot uses it or not - and it's prefixed
with an atheros eeprom signature (0xaa55), I figure the safest thing
to do is mark it as read-only.
I've modified my local tplink firmware building program to generate
a board configuration section - which is separate to this partition.
It's located in the 64k _before_ this particular 64k.
The firmware build program from OpenWRT never initialises those
values and the firmware images from tplink also leave it 0x0, so I
don't currently know what the exact, correct details should be.
the ar71xx platform code should assume a uboot or redboot environment.
The current code gets very confused (and just crashes) on a uboot
environment, where each attribute=value pair is in a single entry.
Redboot on the other hand stores it as "attribute", "value", "attribute",
"value", ...
This allows the kernel to boot on a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND from flash,
where the uboot environment gets setup. This didn't show up during a netboot
as "tftpboot" and "go" don't setup the uboot environment variables.
The default flash layout gives only 1 megabyte for the kernel, gzipped.
The uboot firmware running on this device only supports gzip, not lzma, so
we actually _do_ have to try and slim the kernel down a bit.
But, since I can't actually do that at the present, I'm opting to:
* extend the kernel from 1mb to 2mb;
* have rootfs fill the rest of that, save 64k;
* eventually I'll hide a 64k config partition at the end, between the
end of rootfs and the ART (radio configuration data.)
The uboot firmware doesn't care about the partition layout. It just
expects the kernel application image to sit at 0xbf020000 (right after
the 128k uboot image.) The uboot header isn't actually read either -
it's "faked" from a "tplink" flash image header. So as long as the
map configuration here matches what is being written out via the
tplink firmware generator, everything is a-ok.
A previous commit disabled compiling the AR9130 support in the default
HAL build in the kernel. Since the AR9130 support won't actually function
without AH_SUPPORT_AR9130 (and that abomination needs to be undone at some
point, in order to allow USB 11n NICs to also work), we now have to
explicitly compile it in.
But since the 11n RF backends don't (currently) join the RF linker set,
one has to compile in _an_ RF backend for the HAL to compile.
At some point it would be nice to correctly update the bus glue to make
this "correct", including having the DDR flush occur in the right spot
(ie, any AHB interrupt.)
one. Interestingly, these are actually the default for quite some time
(bus_generic_driver_added(9) since r52045 and bus_generic_print_child(9)
since r52045) but even recently added device drivers do this unnecessarily.

The dcache flush has to be done using the core control registers before

Also replace .word calls for mfcr/mtcr with a C macro.

Also, the data cache is coherent so write back is not really needed. This

Create std.XLP for configuration options, which is included by the

Also move uart and pci to mips/nlm/std.xlp since all XLP configurations

The pmap update_page/invalidate_page/invalidate_all operations has to be
done only on active cpus. In the simplest case, if the process is not
active on any other CPUs, we can just do the operation on the current CPU.
This change replaces the call to smp_rendezvous() for these operations with
smp_rendezvous_cpus() in case there more than one active CPU, or with a direct
function call if there is just one active CPU.
This change give significant performance increase in fork/exec benchmarks
on XLR/XLS/XLP with 32 cpus.

The option allows to mount non-MPSAFE filesystem. Without it, the
kernel will refuse to mount a non-MPSAFE filesytem.
This patch is part of the effort of killing non-MPSAFE filesystems
from the tree.
No MFC is expected for this patch.

implement a deprecated FPU control interface in addition to the
standard one. To make this clearer, further deprecate ieeefp.h
by not declaring the function prototypes except on architectures
that implement them already.
Currently i386 and amd64 implement the ieeefp.h interface for
compatibility, and for fp[gs]etprec(), which doesn't exist on
most other hardware. Powerpc, sparc64, and ia64 partially implement
it and probably shouldn't, and other architectures don't implement it
at all.
If we handle an interrupt just before the 'wait' and the interrupt
schedules some work, we need to skip the 'wait' call. The simple solution
of calling sched_runnable() with interrupts disabled immediately before
wait still leaves a window after the call and before 'wait' in which
the same issue can occur.
The solution implemented is to check the EPC in the interrupt handler, and
if it is in a region before the 'wait' call, to fix up the EPC to skip the
wait call.

Reading /dev/mem in 64 bit kernel crashes. This is because the page
used to call uiomove_fromphys() from memrw() does not have md.pv_list
initialized correctly.
The fix is to call pmap_page_init() on the page to initialize it.
Wrong in that it must be guarded (it's configurable)
and bogus in that there's absolutely no rationale for
it not default to a page size like all other archs.
