changes to allow devices that don't probe (e.g. /dev/mem)
to create devfs entries
this required giving 'configure' its own SYSINIT entry
so we could duck in just before it with a DEVFS init
and some device inits..
my devfs now looks like:
./misc
./misc/speaker
./misc/mem
./misc/kmem
./misc/null
./misc/zero
./misc/io
./misc/console
./misc/pcaudio
./misc/pcaudioctl
./disks
./disks/rfloppy
./disks/rfloppy/fd0.1440
./disks/rfloppy/fd1.1200
./disks/floppy
./disks/floppy/fd0.1440
./disks/floppy/fd1.1200
also some sligt cleanups.. DEVFS needs a lot of work
but I'm getting back to it..
when syscons stops mapping the console to minor MAXCONS. There is
usually no corresponding device in /dev, and the correct device has
minor 0.
cons.c:
Initialize cn_tty properly, so that CPU_CONSDEV can work.
Comment about too many variants of the console tty pointer.
machdep.c:
Return device NODEV and not error EFAULT when there is no console device.
drivers to protect DDB from being invoked while the console is in
process-controlled (i.e., graphics) mode.
Implement the logic to use this hook from within pcvt. (I'm sure
Søren will do the syscons part RSN).
I've still got one occasion where the system stalled, but my attempts
to trigger the situation artificially resulted int the expected
behaviour. It's hard to track bugs without the console and DDB
available. :-/
#179). The fix implements a ttyhalfclose() (sort of), resetting the
session and pgrp pointers when the physical device is about to be
closed.
Suggested by: bde
(b) add a function callback vector to tty drivers that will return a pointer
to a valid tty structure based upon a dev_t
(c) make syscons structures the same size whether or not APM is enabled so
utilities don't crash if NAPM changes (and make the damn kernel compile!)
(d) rewrite /dev/snp ioctl interface so that it is device driver and i386
independant
the physical device is closed. Previously only the reverse case was handled.
Abuse the cdevsw interface instead of the vfs interface to do this.
Remove unnecessary #includes.
com.h/lpa.h. Removed all vestiges of com/lpa out of conf.c and also
fixed up the end of cdevsw/bdevsw to have "no" routines instead of
a NULL pointer (suggested by someone a few weeks back).
``changes'' are actually not changes at all, but CVS sometimes has trouble
telling the difference.
This also includes support for second-directory compiles. This is not
quite complete yet, as `config' doesn't yet do the right thing. You can
still make it work trivially, however, by doing the following:
rm /sys/compile
mkdir /usr/obj/sys/compile
ln -s M-. /sys/compile
cd /sys/i386/conf
config MYKERNEL
cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
ln -s /sys @
rm machine
ln -s @/i386/include machine
make depend
make
the device close routine. This works because the device close calls
the line discipline close (which only flushes the output buffers) and
the ttyclose() routine, which does little of nothing except screw with
the session and process group fields (which is what was causing all
the problems).
John Dyson to make it reliably work under FreeBSD.
2) Added and enabled PROCFS in the GENERICxx and LINT kernels.
3) New execve() from me. Still work to be done here, but this version
works well and is needed before other changes can be made. For
a description of the design behind this, see freebsd-arch or
ask me.
4) Rewrote stack fault code; made user stack VM grow as needed rather
than all up front; improves performance a little and reduces
process memory requirements.
5) Incorporated fix from Gene Stark to fault/wire a user page table
page to fix a problem in copyout. This is a temporary fix and
is not appropriate for pageable page tables. For a description
of the problem, see Gene's post to the freebsd-hackers mailing
list.
6) Tighten up vm_page struct to reduce memory requirements for it. ifdef
pager page lock code as it's not being used currently.
7) Introduced new element to vmspace struct - vm_minsaddr; initial
(minimum) stack address. Compliment to vm_maxsaddr.
8) Added a panic if the allocation for process u-pages fails.
9) Improve performance and accuracy of kernel profiling by putting in
a little inline assembly instead of spl().
10) Made serial console with sio driver work. Still has problems with
serial input, but is almost useable.
11) Added -Bstatic to SYSTEM_LD in Makefile.i386 so that kernels will
build properly with the new ld.
