Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Add missing D_TTY flags to various drivers.
Complete asserts that dev_t's passed to ttyread(), ttywrite(),
ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() have (d_flags & D_TTY) and a struct tty
pointer.
Make ttyread(), ttywrite(), ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() the default
cdevsw methods for D_TTY drivers and remove the explicit initializations
in various drivers cdevsw structures.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
into its own file:
- All of the $PIR interrupt routing is now done in a link-centric fashion.
When a host-PCI bridge that uses the $PIR attaches, it calls pir_parse()
to parse the table. This scans for link devices and merges all the masks
for each link device from the table entries. It then looks at the intline
register of PCI devices connected to a link to figure out if the BIOS has
routed this link and if so to which IRQ.
- The IRQ for any given link can be overridden via a hint like so:
'hw.pci.link.0x62.irq=10' Any IRQ set in this matter is treated as if it
were set that way by the BIOS.
- We only call the BIOS to route each link device once.
- When a PCI device wants to route an interrupt, we look it up in the $PIR
to find the associated link. If the link is routed, we simply return the
IRQ it is using. If it is not routed, we have to pick one. This uses a
different algorithm from the old code. First off, when we try to pick
an interrupt from a mask of possible interrupts, we try to pick the one
that is least loaded as far as PCI devices. We maintain this weight based
on the number of devices attached to each link device. When choosing an
IRQ, we first attempt to route using any PCI only interrupts (the old
code did this as well). If that doesn't work, we try to use the list of
IRQs that the BIOS has used. This is a new step that the new code didn't
do and avoids using IRQ 3 or 4 for every virgin interrupt routing. If
none of the IRQs that the BIOS used worked, then we fall back to trying
anything.
- The fallback mask for !PC98 was fixed to include IRQ 3 and not allow IRQ
2.
- We don't use the $PIR to route interrupts on a PCI-PCI bridge unless it
has already been used to route on at least one Host-PCI bridge. This
helps to avoid mixing and matching x86 firmware PCI interrupt routing
methods (which is a Bad Thing(tm)).
Silence on: current@
ISA. npx has few isa dependencies, but it does unconditional outb()'s to
the isa bus in the !SMP case, and it attaches to isa if "device isa" is
configured in order to support PNP-ISA. The ifdef for the latter was
misplaced.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()
(it didn't used the stackgap when it should have) but uses lim_rlimit()
and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
- The p_rlimit macro no longer exists.

machdep.c fixed the missing early initialization of curpcb, so curpcb
is now always set together with curthread and it cannot be NULL except
before the IDT has been set up (so trap() is unreachable) or after a
memory error. In any case, it was often used without checking.
curcpb shouldn't exist anyway. It doesn't exist for most non-i386 arches.
It just caches curthread->td_pcb in a global. This was a better idea
before it was per-cpu. trap() and some other places can get at it more
efficiently using td->td_pcb instead of PCPU_GET(curpcb). The main
exception is support.s which mostly wants only curpcb->pcb_onfault.
the thread that calls pmap_pte_quick() and by virtue of the page queues
lock being held, we can manage PADDR1/PMAP1 as a CPU private mapping.
The most common effect of this change is to reduce the overhead of the page

can look at the ACPI tables. If the startup fails, we panic and tell the
user to try rebooting with ACPI disabled. Previously in this case we
would try to use $PIR interrupt routing which only works for the atpic
while using the apic to handle interrupts which would result in misrouted
interrupts and a hang at boot time with no error message.
- Read the SCI out of the FADT instead of hardcoding 9 when checking to see
if an interrupt override entry is for the SCI.
- Try to work around some BIOS brain damage for the SCI's programming by
forcing the SCI to be level triggered and active low if it is routed
to a non-ISA interrupt (greater than 15) or if it is identity mapped with
edge trigger and active high polarity. This should fix some of the hangs
with device apic and ACPI that some people see.

than the switchin functions to guarantee that we're operating with the
correct tlb entry.
- Remove the post copy/zero tlb invalidations. It is faster to invalidate
an entry that is known to exist and so it is faster to invalidate after
use. However, some architectures implement speculative page table
prefetching so we can not be guaranteed that the invalidated entry is still
invalid when we re-enter any of these functions. As a result of this we
must always invalidate before use to be safe.

protected by a seperate spinlock. This only served to make IPIs twice as
expensive as they had to be which severely slowed down the IPI heavy ULE

rev.1.1040. It is a miscellaneous isa+pci driver, but came back
described as a pci-only driver and placed in an i4b pci subsection
after its migration to /sys/conf/NOTES. Put it back where it used to
be, fully unsorted in the `Miscellaneous hardware' section. Reduced
nearby disorder in this section by moving configuration of the digi
driver to where it was for the old digiboard drivers, so that the
order at least matches the order in the table of contents.
- references to removed math emulators for NPX_DEBUG
- header for the null set of mandatory devices
- reference to the removed (and bogus when it existed) sysctl
kern.timecounter.method.
FIxed some nearby disorder (descriptions of CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_3X,
CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG, CPU_DISABLE_SSE,
CPU_ELAN_XTAL and CPU_SOEKRIS, and options for all of these except
CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE).
CPU_ENABLE_TCC enables Thermal Control Circuitry (TCC) found in some
Pentium(tm) 4 and (possibly) later CPUs. When enabled and detected,
TCC allows to restrict power consumption by using machdep.cpuperf*
sysctls. This operates independently of SpeedStep and is useful on
systems where other mechanisms such as apm(4) or acpi(4) don't work.
Given the fact that many, even modern, notebooks don't work properly
with Intel ACPI, this is indeed very useful option for notebook owners.
