Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.
config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.
Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning!

Socket 8 to 370 converters. When (1) CPU_PPRO2CELERON option is
defined, (2) Intel CPU is found and (3) CPU ID is 0x66?, L2 cache is
enabled through MSR 0x11e. The L2 cache latency value can be
specified by CPU_L2_LATENCY option. Default value of L2 cache latency
is 5.
These options are useful if you use Socket 8 to Socket 370 converter
(e.g. Power Leap's PL-Pro/II.) Most PentiumPro BIOSs don't enable L2
cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs because they don't know Celeron CPUs.
These options are needles if you use a Coppermine (FCPGA) Celeron or
PentiumIII, becuase the L2 cache enable bit is hard wired and L2 cache
is always enabled.

specified end address is nonzero), not just if it is loaded and DDB
is configured. This may be used to fix kldsym(2) for booting without
/dev/loader; currently, in this case, it just fixes unused pointers
and wastes space consistently. For booting in the normal way with
/boot/loader, the table is included and pointed to in a different way
and kldsym(2) works.
This will support power-off only. Fix for suspend/resume will come later.

Further experimentation showed that some Dell 2450 machines with the
prevention kludge installed still got T_RESERVED traps. CPU interrupt
vector 0x7A was observed to be triggered. This might have been the
bitwise OR of two different vectors sent from each of the IOAPICs at
the same time.
IOAPIC #0: 0x68 --> irq 8: RTC timer interrupt
IOAPIC #1: 0x32 --> irq 18: scsi host adapter or network interface

0x7a --> T_RESERVED
Both IOAPICs had ID 0.
Appendix B.3 in the MP spec indicates that the operating system is

PG_UNMANAGED flag that has slightly different characteristics
from PG_FICTICIOUS.
A new sysctl, kern.ipc.shm_use_phys has been added to enable the
use of physically-backed sysv shared memory rather then swap-backed.
Physically backed shm segments are not tracked with PV entries,
allowing programs which use a large shm segment as a rendezvous
point to operate without eating an insane amount of KVM in the
PV entry management. Read: Oracle.
Peter's OBJT_PHYS object will also allow us to eventually implement
page-table sharing and/or 4MB physical page support for such segments.
We're half way there.

It uses the same strategy that pci drivers use, namely a
COMPAT_ISA_DRIVER() macro that creates the glue on the fly.
Theoretically old-style isa drivers should be preloadable now.

During testing this code worked fine. If for some reason a 32-bit offset

This (I believe) is the cause of the XFree86 startup and/or mptable(8)
panics when programs were reading from /dev/mem at non-page-aligned
offsets. The offsets were being converted into random page flags in the
page tables. :-( (including PG_PS = 4MB page size)
to various pmap_*() functions instead of looking up the physical address
and passing that. In many cases, the first thing the pmap code was doing
was going to a lot of trouble to get back the original vm_page_t, or
it's shadow pv_table entry.
Inspired by: John Dyson's 1998 patches.
Also:
Eliminate pv_table as a seperate thing and build it into a machine
dependent part of vm_page_t. This eliminates having a seperate set of
structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to
a lot of trouble to translate from one to the other. (see above)
This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the
system. (8 bytes on the Alpha).
Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is
managed (ie: it has pv_entries etc). Store this information in a flag.
Things like device_pager set it because they create vm_page_t's on the
fly that do not have pv_entries. This makes it easier to "unmanage" a
page of physical memory (this will be taken advantage of in subsequent
commits).
Add a function to add a new page to the freelist. This could be used
for reclaiming the previously wasted pages left over from preloaded
loader(8) files.

reporting an AT PIC. We do this because otherwise the PIC will claim
IRQ 2 in an unshareable mode, preventing other devices from legitimately
using it.
For symmetry, in !APIC_IO mode, ignore the APIC if it's reported.
This is a hack; a better solution would have the PIC's driver release
the IRQ if it was not going to be active.
NETGRAPH is not present in GENERIC at the moment. Also, change some
settings to support USB installs:
- Add KBD_INSTALL_CDEV as an option to make /dev/kbd[01] actually work.
- Turn on keyboard probing in sc0. The syscons driver will now use a
flag documented in ukbd(4) but not in sc(4) that tells syscons to
actively search for a keyboard device if none is found. This allows
USB keyboards to just be plugged in and instantly start working.
- Require the atkbd0 driver to actually probe to see if a keyboard is
there. This allows USB keyboards to be seen by sc0 if an AT keyboard
isn't plugged into the computer. This also means that you will no
longer be able to plug an AT keyboard into a machine after it has
booted a GENERIC kernel and use it. AT keyboards aren't designed for
this anyway. USB keyboards are designed for this, and they work.

This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and
I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my
aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months).
Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a
prototype of their 1080 chip.
Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been
tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however
this is an excellent driver to start playing with.

I had hoped to make some of this more dynamic, but the cost of doing

The other possibility is to initialize on the first use, and allow
dynamic sysctl changes to parameters right until that point. That would
allow /etc/rc.sysctl to change SEM* and MSG* defaults as we presently
do with SHM*, but without the nightmare of changing a running system.
