ever connect a SCSI Cdrom/Tape/Jukebox/Scanner/Printer/kitty-litter-scooper
to your high-end RAID controller. The interface to the arrays is still
via the block interface; this merely provides a way to circumvent the
RAID functionality and access the SCSI buses directly. Note that for
somewhat obvious reasons, hard drives are not exposed to the da driver
through this interface, though you can still talk to them via the pass
driver. Be the first on your block to low-level format unsuspecting
drives that are part of an array!
To enable this, add the 'aacp' device to your kernel config.
MFC after: 3 days
to build kernel and kernel modules so stop supporting them in
bsd.subdir.mk and reimplement them in kern.post.mk and kmod.mk
as special versions of the install and reinstall targets, and
only define them if DEBUG is also defined (when debug versions
are really built).
Prompted by: bde
Ensure all standard targets honor SUBDIR. Now `make obj' descends into
SUBDIRs even if NOOBJ is set (some descendants may still need an object
directory, but we do not have such precedents). Now `make install' in
non-bsd.subdir.mk makefiles runs `afterinstall' target _after_ `install'
in SUBDIRs, like we do in bsd.subdir.mk. Nothing depended on the wrong
order anyway.
Fixed `distribute' targets (except for the bsd.subdir.mk version) so that
they do not depend on _SUBDIR; `distribute' calls `install' which already
depends on _SUBDIR.
De-standardize `maninstall', otherwise manpages would be installed twice.
(To be revised later.)
- Add stubs for EISA and SBUS cards.
(VME, FutureBUS, and TurboChannel stubs not provided.)
- Add infrastructure to build driver and bus front-end modules.
drivers with MI portions into the MI notes. Device drivers such as busses
like the isa, eisa, and pci devices are now in the MD NOTES section even
though they have some MI code. This will ensure that only the proper bits
of device drivers will be included due to the optional bits dependent on
the busses in sys/conf/files. This commit also takes the stance that since
hints are ignored in NOTES anyways, it is ok to include hints for a bus
that may not be present.

If there are no problems reported this will become the only behavior and the
knob will be removed in a month or so.

time-of-day clocks, ported from NetBSD. The front-ends are expected
to be at least partly machine-dependent; the sparc64 EBus and SBus
ones will be commited to MD directories for now (in a subsequent commit).
a set of helper routines to deal with real-time clocks. The generic
functions access the clock diver using a kobj interface. This is intended
to reduce code reduplication and make it easy to support more than one
clock model on a single architecture.
This code is currently only used on sparc64, but it is planned to convert
the code of the other architectures to it later.
Unfortunately, this level doesn't really provide enough granularity. We
probably need several MI NOTES type files for things that are shared by
several architectures but not by all. For example, the PCI options could
live in a NOTES.pci.
This also updates the Makefile for i386 to generate LINT. The only changes
in the generated LINT are the order of various options.
Suggestions for improvement welcome.
following sysctl variables:
debug.mutex.prof.enable enable / disable profiling
debug.mutex.prof.acquisitions number of mutex acquisitions recorded
debug.mutex.prof.records number of acquisition points recorded
debug.mutex.prof.maxrecords max number of acquisition points
debug.mutex.prof.rejected number of rejections (due to full table)
debug.mutex.prof.hashsize hash size
debug.mutex.prof.collisions number of hash collisions
debug.mutex.prof.stats profiling statistics
The code records four numbers for each acquisition point (identified by
source file name and line number): longest time held, total time held,
number of non-recursive acquisitions, average time held. The measurements
are in clock cycles (as returned by get_cyclecount(9)); this may cause
measurements on some SMP systems to be unreliable. This can probably be
worked around by replacing get_cyclecount(9) by some incarnation of
nanotime(9).
This work was derived from initial patches by eivind.
dump the trace buffer feasible.
- Remove KTR_EXTEND. This changes the format of the trace entries when
activated, making writing a userland tool which is not tied to a specific
kernel configuration difficult.
- Use get_cyclecount() for timestamps. nanotime() is much too heavy weight
and requires recursion protection due to ktr traces occuring as a result
of ktr traces. KTR_VERBOSE may still require recursion protection, which
is now conditional on it.
- Allow KTR_CPU to be overridden by MD code. This is so that it is possible
to trace early in startup before pcpu and/or curthread are setup.
- Add a version number for the ktr interface. A userland tool can check this
to detect mismatches.
- Use an array for the parameters to make decoding in userland easier.
- Add file and line recording to the non-extended traces now that the extended
version is no more.
These changes will break gdb macros to decode the extended version of the
trace buffer which are floating around. Users of these macros should either
use the show ktr command in ddb, or use the userland utility which can be run
on a core dump.

I have not been able to find very much information about the PC98
extended partition layout so this is gleaned from the source in
our pc98 architecture. Corrections and patched very welcome.
