Moved various pmap 'bit' test/set functions back into real functions; gcc
generates better code at the expense of more of it. (pmap.c)
Fixed a deadlock problem with pv entry allocations (pmap.c)
Added a new, optional function 'pmap_prefault' that does clustered page
table preloading (pmap.c)
Changed the way that page tables are held onto (trap.c).

page flipping anytime soon and 4k just wastes memory. Performance via the
looback interface will decrease slightly by this change. Idealy, we need
buffers that can have variable sizes, but this requires a rewrite of far
too much code at the moment.
work (mi_switch() counted the last timeslice again but this didn't affect
the exiting process' rusage because the rusage has already been finalized).
Remove stale comment.
the physical device is closed. Previously only the reverse case was handled.
Abuse the cdevsw interface instead of the vfs interface to do this.
Remove unnecessary #includes.
Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)
Obtained from:
sio.c and sioreg.c changed to allow autodetecting the RB_SERIAL flag
passed by the boot blocks so that the kernel can switch to 'serial
console' mode automagically. 'options COMCONSOLE' can still be specified
to force the kernel to always use the serial port as a console.
CONUNIT and CONADDR can also be specified in the kernel config file
if the user wants to shift the console to a different port.
Put in the much shorter and cleaner version for the calibrate_cycle_counter
for the Pentium that Bruce suggested. Tested here on my Pentium and
it works okay.
sigreturn() sometimes failed for ordinary returns from signal handlers.
Failures of ordinary returns "can't happen" and are badly handled.
"Temporary" fix: allow users to corrupt PSL_RF. This is fairly
harmless. A correct fix would involve saving the old %eflags (and
perhaps the old segment registers) where the user can't get at them.
WDTR, and message reject handlers so they don't need to exist in the
sequencer. All three of these cases are not on the critical path, so it
makes little sense to use up precious sequencer ram for them.
properly from the beginning:
1) The `kern_devconf' struct should be a part of the driver's
`softc' structure (now it is).
2) The `description' should say what the device actually is,
rather than just giving a model number (now it does).
3) The device should be registered even if the probe fails, so
that it can be reconfigured later.
4) For netifs, the device state should follow the IFF_UP flag.
Other network interfaces should follow this example. (Please?) Eventually
there should be a rundown routine doing the equivalent of setting IFF_UP
off, and perhaps more if warranted.
attempted to check for insecure and fatal eflags and segment
selectors, but missed many cases and got the IOPL check back to
front. The other syscalls didn't check at all.
sys_process.c, machdep.c:
Only allow PT_WRITE_U to write to the registers (ordinary and FP).
psl.h, locore.s, machdep.c:
Eliminate PSL_MBZ, PSL_MBO and PSL_USERCLR. We are not supposed
to assume anything about the reserved bits. Use PSL_USERCHANGE
and PSL_KERNEL instead. Rename PSL_USERSET to PSL_USER.
exception.s:
Define a private label for use by doreti when returning to user
mode fails.
machdep.c:
In syscalls, allow changing only the eflags that can be changed on
486's in user mode (no longer attempt to allow benign IOPL changes;
allow changing the nasty PSL_NT; don't allow changing the i586
bits).
Don't attempt to check all the cases involving invalid selectors
and %eip's. Just check for privilege violations and let the invalid
things cause a trap.
procfs_machdep.c:
Call the ptrace register functions to do all the work for reading
and writing ordinary registers and for single stepping.
trap.c:
Ignore traps caused by PSL_NT being set. Previously, users could
cause a fatal trap in user mode by setting PSL_NT and executing an
iret, and a fatal trap in kernel mode by setting PSL_NT and making
a syscall. PSL_NT was cleared too late and not in enough modes to
fix the problem.
Make all traps in user mode (except T_NMI) nonfatal.
Recover from traps caused by attempting to load invalid user
registers in doreti by restarting the traps so that they appear to
occur in user mode.
---
Fix bogons that I noticed while fixing the above:
psl.h:
Fix some comments.
Uniformize idempotency ifdef.
exception.s, machdep.c:
Remove rsvd[0-14]. rsvd0 hasn't been reserved since the 486 came
out. Replace rsvd0 by `align'. rsvd[0-11] used wrong (magic
non-unique) trap numbers. Replace rsvd[1-14] by rsvd.
locore.s:
Enable alignment check flag on 486's and 586's.
machdep.c:
Use a better type for kstack[].
Use TFREGP() to find the registers.
Reformat ptrace functions from SEF to something closer to KNF.
procfs_machdep.c:
The wrong pointer to the registers got fixed as a side effect.
Implement reading and writing of FP registers.
/proc/*/*regs now work (only) for processes that are in memory.
Clean up comments.
trap.c, trap.h:
Remove unused trap types.
unreachable case label in kdb_trap().
Use the correct case labels in kdb_trap() so that normal ddb entry doesn't
print a message.
Change all printf's to db_printf's. Now you can put a breakpoint at printf,
and ddb entry messages don't spam the syslog output.
Cosmetic:
Use ISPL() instead of magic numbers.
Don't compile the unused function kdb_kbd_trap().
Improve some asms.
Print the arg to Debugger().
protected drive at open() time has been *totally bogus*! The guy who
submitted it didn't understand all the implications of calling
set_motor(), and the `who' who included the patch into the tree did it
blindly... Pleeeeze, don't commit code to this driver unless you are
really going to understand what it does! This one caused me to pull
out even more hears, and those who know me do know that i ain't got
too many o'them. :-)
