This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
1. All the suggestions earlier made by Bruce: renaming some symbols,
stricter error checking, removing redundant code, etc.
2. The `psm' driver preserves the default counter resolution and
report rate, whatever they are after reset. (Based on reports and
suggestion from Nate and Rob Bolin).
3. The `psm' driver now does not check the so-called sync. bit in the
first byte of the data packet by default, so that the tapping feature
of ALPUS GlidePoint works (based on reports from Louis Mamakos). I
tested the code with ALPUS Desktop GlidePoint (M/N GP101) and found
no problem; tapping worked. It appears ALPUS produces several models
of GlidePoint. I hope the other models are OK too.
The check code can still be activated by defining the PSM_CHECKSYNC
option in the config file. (The bit checking slightly reduces, if not
completely eliminates, weird mouse behavior cased by unsynchronized
mouse data packets. It also helps us to detect if the mouse interrupt
can ever be lost. But, well, if there are devices which cannot be
supported this way...)
4. The `psm' driver does not include the protocol emulation code by
default. The code can still be compiled in if the PSM_EMULATION option
is specified in the config file. Louis Mamakos suggests the emulation
code is putting too much in the kernel, and `moused' works well.
I will think about this later and decide if the entire emulation
code should be removed.
5. And, of course, the fix in `scprobe()' from Bruce to cure the
UserConfig problem. My code in `kbdio.c' is slightly different from
his patch, but has the same effect. There still is a possibility that
`scprobe()' gets confused, if, for whatever reasons, the user holds
down a key for very long time during the boot process. But we cannot
cope with everything, can we?

routines. An older version of this was tested successfully on all of my
systems with PS/2 mice. This was brought in without testing because it
is necessary due to the previously committed syscons changes.

didn't before) and still works on my NEC Versa.

config file instead of hard-coding it in the driver. No functional
differences.
This is based on the code Richard Wiwatowski <rjwiwat@adelaide.on.net>
sent to the mailing list.
- Prepend PSM_ to some defines to avoid any possible name-space problems
- Use some already defined constants instead of magic #'s where appropriate.
[ No functional changes (yet) ]
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
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,
each of the files has the following code inserted into it:
obviously, tailored to suit..

#ifdef JREMOD
#include <sys/conf.h>
#define CDEV_MAJOR 13
#define BDEV_MAJOR 4

---------------------somewhere that's run during bootup: EVENTUALLY a SYSINIT
#ifdef JREMOD
sd_devsw_install();
#endif /*JREMOD*/
-----------------------at the bottom:
#ifdef JREMOD
