- Compile 'device acpi' into GENERIC by default as well. Note that
the beastie loader menu item to disable ACPI still works if ACPI is
compiled into the kernel.
let the MD code choose whether or not to implement such a policy. The new
i386 interrupt code allows multiple FAST handlers for a given source for
example. However, the code does not allow FAST and non-FAST handlers to be
mixed.
we would manage this better by having the interrupt code add each
interrupt vector to the resource map when each source is registered.
- Use the new interrupt code API for registering and tearing down interrupt
handlers.
- The MP code no longer knows anything specific about an MP Table.
Instead, the local APIC code adds CPUs via the cpu_add() function when
a local APIC is enumerated by an APIC enumerator.
- Don't divide the argument to mp_bootaddress() by 1024 just so that we
can turn around and mulitply it by 1024 again.
- We no longer panic if SMP is enabled but we are booted on a UP machine.
- init_secondary(), the asm code between init_secondary() and ap_init()
in mpboot.s and ap_init() have all been merged together in C into
init_secondary().
- We now use the cpuid feature bits to determine if we should enable
PSE, PGE, or VME on each AP.
- Due to the change in the implementation of critical sections, acquire
the SMP TLB mutex around a slightly larger chunk of code for TLB
shootdowns.
- Remove some of the debug code from the original SMP implementation
that is no longer used or no longer applies to the new APIC code.
- Use a temporary hack to disable the ACPI module until the SMP code has
been further reorganized to allow ACPI to work as a module again.
- Add a DDB command to dump the interesting contents of the IDT.
devices claiming resources that they don't actually use. The PIC drivers
only register valid interrupt sources, so we don't need to rely on these
drivers to claim invalid IRQs to prevent their use by other drivers.
slave pin on the master PIC in the !APIC_IO case. The PIC drivers now
manage these details internally.
- Remove an spl0() that hasn't done anything since SMPng was first
committed.
- Update some comments that have rotted since SMPng.
- Use intr_suspend/resume() callouts to the interrupt code layer which
suspends and resumes all the known interrupt sources instead of calling
icu_reinit() directly.
APIC Descriptor Table to enumerate both I/O APICs and local APICs. ACPI
does not embed PCI interrupt routing information in the MADT like the MP
Table does. Instead, ACPI stores the PCI interrupt routing information
in the _PRT object under each PCI bus device. The MADT table simply
provides hints about which interrupt vectors map to which I/O APICs. Thus
when using ACPI, the existing ACPI PCI bridge drivers are sufficient to
route PCI interrupts.
- The apic interrupt entry points have been rewritten so that each entry
point can serve 32 different vectors. When the entry is executed, it
uses one of the 32-bit ISR registers to determine which vector in its
assigned range was triggered. Thus, the apic code can support 159
different interrupt vectors with only 5 entry points.
- We now always to disable the local APIC to work around an errata in
certain PPros and then re-enable it again if we decide to use the APICs
to route interrupts.
- We no longer map IO APICs or local APICs using special page table
entries. Instead, we just use pmap_mapdev(). We also no longer
export the virtual address of the local APIC as a global symbol to
the rest of the system, but only in local_apic.c. To aid this, the
APIC ID of each CPU is exported as a per-CPU variable.
- Interrupt sources are provided for each intpin on each IO APIC.
Currently, each source is given a unique interrupt vector meaning that
PCI interrupts are not shared on most machines with an I/O APIC.
That mapping for interrupt sources to interrupt vectors is up to the
APIC enumerator driver however.
- We no longer probe to see if we need to use mixed mode to route IRQ 0,
instead we always use mixed mode to route IRQ 0 for now. This can be
disabled via the 'NO_MIXED_MODE' kernel option.
- The npx(4) driver now always probes to see if a built-in FPU is present
since this test can now be performed with the new APIC code. However,
an SMP kernel will panic if there is more than one CPU and a built-in
FPU is not found.
- PCI interrupts are now properly routed when using APICs to route
interrupts, so remove the hack to psuedo-route interrupts when the
intpin register was read.
- The apic.h header was moved to apicreg.h and a new apicvar.h header
that declares the APIs used by the new APIC code was added.
default we provide 16 interrupt sources for IRQs 0 through 15. However,
if the I/O APIC driver has already registered sources for any of those IRQs
then we will silently fail to register our own source for that IRQ.
Note that i386/isa/icu.h is now specific to the 8259A and no longer
contains any info relevant to APICs. Also note that fast interrupts no
longer use a separate entry point. Instead, both fast and threaded
interrupts share the same entry point which merely looks up the appropriate
source and passes control to intr_execute_handlers().
that provides methods via a PIC driver to do things like mask a source,
unmask a source, enable it when the first interrupt handler is added, etc.
The interrupt code provides a table of interrupt sources indexed by IRQ
numbers, or vectors. These vectors are what new-bus uses for its IRQ
resources and for bus_setup_intr()/bus_teardown_intr(). The interrupt
code then maps that vector a given interrupt source object. When an
interrupt comes in, the low-level interrupt code looks up the interrupt
source for the source that triggered the interrupt and hands it off to
this code to execute the appropriate handlers.
By having an interrupt source abstraction, this allows us to have different
types of interrupt source providers within the shared IRQ address space.
For example, IRQ 0 may map to pin 0 of the master 8259A PIC, IRQs 1
through 60 may map to pins on various I/O APICs, and IRQs 120 through
128 may map to MSI interrupts for various PCI devices.
rather than generating an error. This is consistent with other tools
printing user and group names, and means you can read the ACL using
our tools rather than being up a creek.

is really EtherExpress or EEPro or what, but it does appear in a
couple of ethernet cards that have appeared recently on ebay. Silicom
appears to make these cards, and they have the 82595TX chipset in
them, and sometimes uarts. The ex driver needs some work to support
these cards, but I thought I'd get the device into pccarddevs.
