- Correct the logic for the AIF array index pointers so that correct slot is
always looked at.
- Copy the full FIB payload size when copying AIF's, not just the first 64
bytes.
Thanks to Mirapoint, Inc, for pointing these problems out and offering a
solution.
about the fpu code here. It should be using fxsave/fxrstor instead of
saving/restoring the control word. The SSE registers are used a lot in
gcc generated code on amd64. I'm not sure how this all fits together
though.
section alignnment of 16 bytes for amd64 and this breaks file(1).
Before:
./cp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for \
FreeBSD 127.7.9, statically linked, stripped
after: ^^^^^^^
./ls: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for \
FreeBSD 5.0.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
The reason for this is that the NOTE sections are not contiguous
internally. If the note section has an alignment of 16, then anything
that looks for the data is supposed to round up the payload start to
the next multiple of the alignment. But FreeBSD/amd64 broke because the
structure is declared as a single structure, not a (header,payload) group,
where the payload had an explicit alignment roundup.
The alternative is to change things like file(1) to ignore the ELF payload
alignment rules for the PT_NOTE section only for FreeBSD.
a fair bit of difference to the power consumption and lets my cpu cool
down enough for the temperature sensitive fan controller to completely
stop the cpu fan at times.
halt state that minimizes power consumption while still preserving
cache and TLB coherency. Halting the processor is not conditional at
this time. Tested with UP and SMP kernels.

Xcpustop(). %es is used in at least the call to savectx() when savectx()
calls bcopy(), so not loading it was fatal if a stop IPI interrupts
user mode.
This reduces bugs starting and stopping CPUs for debuggers. CPUs are
stopped mainly in kdb_trap() and cpu_reset(). At reset time there is
a good chance that all the CPUs are in the kernel, so the bug was
probably harmless then.
classes and if a method is not found in a given class, its base classes
are searched (in the order they were declared). This search is recursive,
i.e. a method may be define in a base class of a base class.
* Change the kobj method lookup algorithm to one which is SMP-safe. This
relies only on the constraint that an observer of a sequence of writes
of pointer-sized values will see exactly one of those values, not a
mixture of two or more values. This assumption holds for all processors
which FreeBSD supports.
* Add locking to kobj class initialisation.
* Add a simpler form of 'inheritance' for devclasses. Each devclass can
have a parent devclass. Searches for drivers continue up the chain of
devclasses until either a matching driver is found or a devclass is
reached which has no parent. This can allow, for instance, pci drivers
to match cardbus devices (assuming that cardbus declares pci as its
parent devclass).
* Increment __FreeBSD_version.
This preserves the driver API entirely except for one minor feature used
by the ISA compatibility shims. A workaround for ISA compatibility will
be committed separately. The kobj and newbus ABI has changed - all modules
must be recompiled.
