under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
- Maintain fpu state across signals.
- Use ucontext_t's to store KSE thread state.
- Synthesize state for the UTS upon each upcall, rather than
saving and copying a trapframe.
- Save and restore FPU state properly in ucontext_t's.

next step is to allow > 1 to be allocated per process. This would give
multi-processor threads. (when the rest of the infrastructure is
in place)
While doing this I noticed libkvm and sys/kern/kern_proc.c:fill_kinfo_proc
are diverging more than they should.. corrective action needed soon.
to control the mapping of things like the ACPI and APM into memory.
The problem is that starting X changes these values, so if something
was using the bits of BIOS mapped into memory (say ACPI or APM),
then next time they access this memory the machine would hang.
This patch refuse to change MTRR values it doesn't understand,
unless a new "force" option is given. This means X doesn't change
them by accident but someone can override that if they really want
to.

This part of sendsig could be slightly refactored to use an MI interface, or
ideally, *sendsig*() would have an API change to accept a siginfo_t, which
would be filled out by an MI function in the level above sendsig, and said MI
function would make a small call into MD code to fill out the MD parts (some
of which may be bogus, such as the si_addr stuff in some places). This would
eventually make it possible for parts of the kernel sending signals to set up
a siginfo with meaningful information.

this from happening and will guarantee the code is not compiled in.
I am still not happy with this, but gcc is now generating code that uses
these instructions if you set CPUTYPE to p3/p4 or athlon-4/mp/xp or higher.
route interrupts if the child bus is described in the PCIBIOS interrupt
routing table. For child busses that are in the routing table, they do
not necessarily use a 'swizzle' on their pins on the parent bus to route
interrupts for child devices. If the child bus is an embedded device then
the pins on the child devices can be (and usually are) directly connected
either to a PIC or to a Interrupt Router. This fixes PCIBIOS interrupt
routing across PCI-PCI bridges for embedded devices.
IRQ for an entry in a PCIBIOS interrupt routing ($PIR) table.
- Change pci_cfgintr() to except the current IRQ of a device as a fourth
argument and to use that IRQ for the device if it is valid.
- If an intpin entry in a $PIR entry has a link of 0, it means that that
intpin isn't connected to anything that can trigger an interrupt. Thus,
test the link against 0 to find invalid entries in the table instead of
implicitly relying on the irqs field to be zero. In the machines I have
looked at, intpin entries with a link of 0 often have the bits for all
possible interrupts for PCI devices set.
not the 'entry' member. The entry point is formed from both a base and
a relative entry point. 'entry' is that relative offset. It is perfectly
valid to have an entry point with a relative offset of 0. PCIbios.ventry
is the virtual address of the entry point that takes both 'base' and
'entry' into account, thus it is the proper variable to test to see if we
have an entry point or not.
lnc(4) will attach to AMD PCnet/FAST NICs if pcn(4) does not attach.
I.e. pcn(4) gets first chance. There is a problem however in that pcn(4)
was moved out of the install kernel so that the module would be used.
This however causes bad installs if one has an AMD PCnet/FAST NIC.
This is a vast improvement over the i8254, since it is a simple
memory load rather than a comples sequence of interrupt blocking,
multiple input/output instructions, and wrap-around detection.
I have not bothered to time the fundamental timecounter get routine,
but gettimeofday(2) is 10% faster with the ELAN timecounte.
The downside is that HZ=100 is not enough, 150 or more recommended,
I use 250 myself.
