- Express various sizes in bytes, rather than Kbytes, in the video
mode and adapter information structures.
- Fill 0 in the linear buffer size field if the linear frame buffer
is not available.
- Remove SW_VESA_USER ioctl. It is still experimetal and was not meant
to be released.
- Fix missing cast operator.
- Correctly handle pointers returned by the VESA BIOS. The pointers
may point to the area either in the BIOS ROM or in the buffer supplied
by the caller.
- Set the destructive cursor at the right moment.
the in-kernel linker to access the _DYNAMIC data for doing loadable elf
modules. The alpha kernel is already done this way, I've borrowed some of
the hacks from there.
This is primarily aimed at the 3-stage boot process which is intended to
be able to do pre-loading of kernel modules.
Note that the entry point isn't 0xf0100000 any more, it'll be a little
further on - but this value is stored in the headers. I don't think this
will be a problem, but I'm sure somebody will tell me if it is. :-)
I'm not sure if btxboot is going to like this, it doesn't do proper ELF
header checking and assumes that there are exactly two program header
entries and that they are both PT_LOAD entries - a bad assumption.
seen in practice. The MPspec is ambiguous and/or contradicts itself.
We now look at the ELCR to determine the trigger mode (edge/level) of an
interrupt tagged as "conforming" in the mptable. EISA interrupts appear
to be presented to the APIC as active high in all cases (they are level
inverted) that we've seen, so use this for the 'conforming' level case.
Of note, the system I'm using has 2 PCI cards in it, and the PCI cards
interrupts (5 and 9) appear in the ELCR register as level sensitive and the
mptable lists 5 and 9 as coming from the EISA bus. The PCI interrupts
are active-high by the time they reach the APIC even though they are
electrically active low at the slot.
We should still work should somebody implement this on motherboards
differently in the future as long as the mptable is clear about the
trigger/polarity.
Current should work on Holm Tiffe's machine now.
Based on code from: Tor.Egge@fast.no
here for getting the #defines for the removal of the leading '_' in symbols
in the assembler code. We could probably #include <machine/asnames.h>
instead, but everything else seems to use asmacros.h directly as well.
Once we convert symbols, this becomes irrelevant.
fix the 50% idle problem that the ELF /sbin/init triggered. The problem
appeared when the last context switch before a fork() call was due to
the kernel faulting in user pages via normal page faults (e.g. copyin).

- there were too many global variables (there still are :-).
- the data section was bloated by explicit initializations of static
variables to 0 (only fixed the recently changed ones).
- WRAPHIST() had silly parentheses around foo->bar.
- the comment about inline functions was stale.
- the comment about Userconfig presumes too much about the boot environment.
- `i' was reused confusingly in scioctl().
- the declaration of `butmap' used a deprecated K&R misfeature.
- the initializeation of `butmap' had an unnecessary line break.
- `unsigned char' was not consistently (mis)spelled as u_char.
- English was poor in a comment in videoio.c.

The last consumer of this code (the old SCSI system) has left us and
the CAM code does it's own bouncing. The isa dma system has been
doing it's own bouncing for a while too.

- Handle pixel (raster text) mode properly.
- Clear screen and paint border right.
- Paint text attribute (colors).
- Fix off-by-one errors.
- Add some sanity checks.
- Fix some function prototypes.
- Add some comment lines.
- Define generic text mode numbers so that the user can just give
"80x25", "80x60", "132x25"..., rather than "VGA_xxx", to `vidcontrol'
to change the current video mode. `vidoio.c' and `vesa.c' will map
these numbers to real video mode numbers appropriate and available
with the given video hardware. I believe this will be useful to make
syscons more portable across archtectures.
on opt_global.h. This actually matters for genassym.o (it depends
on at least SMP).
Don't undefine KERNEL for compiling genassym.c. genassym.o really
depends on KERNEL, and the prototype mismatches that required
undefining KERNEL in rev.1.49 no longer exist.
Compile gensetdefs* with the same flags as genassym*. External
`gen' programs such linux_genassym should also use these flags
(${GEN_CFLAGS}).
Fixed missing dependency generation for gensetdefs.o. C sources
for external `gen' programs should be added to GEN_CFILES to get
their dependencies generated.
Cleaned up flags definitions and use. All of ${CFLAGS} is now
passed to mkdep and the assembler (both are actually variants of
${CC} and will ignore the irrelevant flags).
went backwards when interrupts were masked for more than one i8254
interrupt period. It sometimes went backwards when the i8254 counter
was reprogrammed. Neither of these should happen in normal operation.
Update the i8254 timecounter support variables atomically. Calling
timecounter functions from fast interrupt handlers may actually work
in all cases now.
