Borrow phk's axe and apply the next stage of config(8)'s evolution. 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! Moral support by: phk, msmith, dfr, asmodai, imp, and others

# SMP OPTIONS:
#
# The apic device enables the use of the I/O APIC for interrupt delivery.
# The apic device can be used in both UP and SMP kernels, but is required
# for SMP kernels. Thus, the apic device is not strictly an SMP option,
# but it is a prerequisite for SMP.
#
# Notes:
#
# HTT CPUs should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS. For
# the ACPI case, ACPI only correctly tells us about any HTT CPUs if
# they are enabled. However, most HTT systems do not list HTT CPUs
# in the MP Table if they are enabled, thus we guess at the HTT CPUs
# for the MP Table case. However, we shouldn't try to guess and use
# these CPUs if HTT is disabled. Thus, HTT guessing is only enabled
# for the MP Table if the user explicitly asks for it via the
# MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT option. Do NOT use this option if you have HTT
# disabled in your BIOS.
#
# IPI_PREEMPTION instructs the kernel to preempt threads running on other
# CPUS if needed. Relies on the PREEMPTION option
# Mandatory:

# CPU OPTIONS
#
# You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
# deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
# parts of the system run faster.
#
cpu I486_CPU
cpu I586_CPU # aka Pentium(tm)
cpu I686_CPU # aka Pentium Pro(tm)
#
# Options for CPU features.
#
# CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK tries to enable SSE instructions when the BIOS has
# forgotten to enable them.
#
# CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_3X enables triple-clock mode on IBM Blue Lightning
# CPU if CPU supports it. The default is double-clock mode on
# BlueLightning CPU box.
#
# CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_FPU_OP_CACHE enables FPU operand cache on IBM
# BlueLightning CPU. It works only with Cyrix FPU, and this option
# should not be used with Intel FPU.
#
# CPU_BTB_EN enables branch target buffer on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
#
# CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK enables weak locking for the entire address space
# of Cyrix 6x86 and 6x86MX CPUs by setting the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1.
# Otherwise, the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1 is cleared. (NOTE 3)
#
# CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE sets L1 cache of Cyrix 486DLC CPU in direct
# mapped mode. Default is 2-way set associative mode.
#
2004-03-13 00:56:11 +00:00
# CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER disables load store serialize (i.e., enables
# reorder). This option should not be used if you use memory mapped
# I/O device(s).
#
# CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG disables the CMPXCHG instruction on > i386 IA32
# machines. VmWare 3.x seems to emulate this instruction poorly, causing
# the guest OS to run very slowly. This problem appears to be fixed in
# VmWare 4.x, at least in version 4.5.2, so that enabling this option with
# VmWare 4.x will result in locking operations to be 20-30 times slower.
# Enabling this with an SMP kernel will cause the kernel to be unusable.
#
2004-03-13 00:56:11 +00:00
# CPU_DISABLE_SSE explicitly prevents I686_CPU from turning on SSE.
#
# CPU_ELAN enables support for AMDs ElanSC520 CPU.
# CPU_ELAN_PPS enables precision timestamp code.
2004-03-13 00:56:11 +00:00
# CPU_ELAN_XTAL sets the clock crystal frequency in Hz.
#
# CPU_ENABLE_LONGRUN enables support for Transmeta Crusoe LongRun
# technology which allows to restrict power consumption of the CPU by
# using group of hw.crusoe.* sysctls.
#
# CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU enables faster FPU exception handler.
#
# CPU_GEODE is for the SC1100 Geode embedded processor. This option
# is necessary because the i8254 timecounter is toast.
#
# CPU_I486_ON_386 enables CPU cache on i486 based CPU upgrade products
# for i386 machines.
#
# CPU_IORT defines I/O clock delay time (NOTE 1). Default values of
# I/O clock delay time on Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 are 0 and 7,respectively
# (no clock delay).
#
# CPU_L2_LATENCY specifies the L2 cache latency value. This option is used
# only when CPU_PPRO2CELERON is defined and Mendocino Celeron is detected.
# The default value is 5.
#
# CPU_LOOP_EN prevents flushing the prefetch buffer if the destination
# of a jump is already present in the prefetch buffer on Cyrix 5x86(NOTE
# 1).
#
# CPU_PPRO2CELERON enables L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs. This option
# is useful when you use Socket 8 to Socket 370 converter, because most Pentium
# Pro BIOSs do not enable L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs.
#
# CPU_RSTK_EN enables return stack on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
#
# CPU_SOEKRIS enables support www.soekris.com hardware.
#
# CPU_SUSP_HLT enables suspend on HALT. If this option is set, CPU
# enters suspend mode following execution of HALT instruction.
#
# CPU_UPGRADE_HW_CACHE eliminates unneeded cache flush instruction(s).
#
# CPU_WT_ALLOC enables write allocation on Cyrix 6x86/6x86MX and AMD
# K5/K6/K6-2 CPUs.
#
# CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS enables CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs with cache
# flush at hold state.
#
# CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS enables (1) CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs
# without cache flush at hold state, and (2) write-back CPU cache on
# Cyrix 6x86 whose revision < 2.7 (NOTE 2).
#
# NO_F00F_HACK disables the hack that prevents Pentiums (and ONLY
# Pentiums) from locking up when a LOCK CMPXCHG8B instruction is
# executed. This option is only needed if I586_CPU is also defined,
# and should be included for any non-Pentium CPU that defines it.
#
# NO_MEMORY_HOLE is an optimisation for systems with AMD K6 processors
# which indicates that the 15-16MB range is *definitely* not being
# occupied by an ISA memory hole.
#
# NOTE 1: The options, CPU_BTB_EN, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_IORT,
# CPU_LOOP_EN and CPU_RSTK_EN should not be used because of CPU bugs.
# These options may crash your system.
#
# NOTE 2: If CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS is not set, CPU cache is enabled
# in write-through mode when revision < 2.7. If revision of Cyrix
# 6x86 >= 2.7, CPU cache is always enabled in write-back mode.
#
# NOTE 3: This option may cause failures for software that requires
# locked cycles in order to operate correctly.

#####################################################################
# NETWORKING OPTIONS
#
# DEVICE_POLLING adds support for mixed interrupt-polling handling
# of network device drivers, which has significant benefits in terms
# of robustness to overloads and responsivity, as well as permitting
# accurate scheduling of the CPU time between kernel network processing
# and other activities. The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds)
# potential increase in response times.
# It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING
# to achieve smoother behaviour.
# Additionally, you can enable/disable polling at runtime with help of
# the ifconfig(8) utility, and select the CPU fraction reserved to
# userland with the sysctl variable kern.polling.user_frac
# (default 50, range 0..100).
#
# Not all device drivers support this mode of operation at the time of

Borrow phk's axe and apply the next stage of config(8)'s evolution. 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.

Update the ipmi(4) driver: - Split out the communication protocols into their own files and use a couple of function pointers in the softc that the commuication protocols setup in their own attach routine. - Add support for the SSIF interface (talking to IPMI over SMBus). - Add an ACPI attachment. - Add a PCI attachment that attaches to devices with the IPMI interface subclass. - Split the ISA attachment out into its own file: ipmi_isa.c. - Change the code to probe the SMBIOS table for an IPMI entry to just use pmap_mapbios() to map the table in rather than trying to setup a fake resource on an isa device and then activating the resource to map in the table. - Make bus attachments leaner by adding attach functions for each communication interface (ipmi_kcs_attach(), ipmi_smic_attach(), etc.) that setup per-interface data. - Formalize the model used by the driver to handle requests by adding an explicit struct ipmi_request object that holds the state of a given request and reply for the entire lifetime of the request. By bundling the request into an object, it is easier to add retry logic to the various communication backends (as well as eventually support BT mode which uses a slightly different message format than KCS, SMIC, and SSIF). - Add a per-softc lock and remove D_NEEDGIANT as the driver is now MPSAFE. - Add 32-bit compatibility ioctl shims so you can use a 32-bit ipmitool on FreeBSD/amd64. - Add ipmi(4) to i386 and amd64 NOTES.

# Notes on the Sony Programmable I/O controller
# This is a temporary driver that should someday be replaced by something
# that hooks into the ACPI layer. The device is hooked to the PIIX4's
# General Device 10 decoder, which means you have to fiddle with PCI
# registers to map it in, even though it is otherwise treated here as
# an ISA device. At the moment, the driver polls, although the device
# is capable of generating interrupts. It largely undocumented.
# The port location in the hint is where you WANT the device to be
# mapped. 0x10a0 seems to be traditional. At the moment the jogdial
# is the only thing truly supported, but apparently a fair percentage
# of the Vaio extra features are controlled by this device.

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.

# Disable the 4 MByte page PSE CPU feature. The PSE feature allows the
# kernel to use 4 MByte pages to map the kernel instead of 4k pages.
# This saves on the amount of memory needed for page tables needed to
# map the kernel. You should only disable this feature as a temporary
# workaround if you are having problems with it enabled.
#
#options DISABLE_PSE
# Disable the global pages PGE CPU feature. The PGE feature allows pages
# to be marked with the PG_G bit. TLB entries for these pages are not
# flushed from the cache when %cr3 is reloaded. This can make context
# switches less expensive. You should only disable this feature as a
# temporary workaround if you are having problems with it enabled.
