Iprobe is an alpha-only system profiling suite which I'm porting from
Linux/alpha to FreeBSD.
Iprobe works by using the hardware profiling support built into
alpha cpus. In a nutshell, what Iprobe does is to setup the alpha
performance counters to sample the pc at a fairly high rate & dumps
those pc samples out to user space. Then some code runs to map the
sampled PCs to functions. You get a bit more than that (like the PSL
word, so you can tell if you're in the kernel or userland, what the
ipl is, etc).
o Add the EB64PLUS systype into the kernel configuration files
and add it to the GENERIC kernel
o Correct mcclock_isa.c's dependence on cia, it should depend on isa.
This will allow avanti and eb64+ kernels to be built without the cia
chipset support code.
The new file pci_eb64plus_intr.s deals with the interrupt hardware
on the EB64PLUS and was obtained from NetBSD with the NetBSD
copyright intact
The apecs chipset support code was altered to allow routing interrupts
through pci if we're not running on an avanti. Avanti's route all
interrupts through isa.

better error messages to help track down the problem if there really
is a problem with the routing table.
one in the kernel source, and that one is already used for modules.
I don't _think_ this will hurt releases, aout-to-elf, etc, but it is
possible. In all the cases I've looked at, config(8) has been
generated straight after a make world, so if /usr/sbin/config exists and
is the right version for the kernel, then we can pretty much count on
/usr/bin/gensetdefs being there too.
XXX It probably makes sense to have a flag for bsd.kern.mk to avoid these
rules.
XXX IO_NDELAY seems to be the main reason for it, when used in a cdevsw
read or write "flag" context. Perhaps a redundant declaration
somewhere like sys/conf.h might help remove the need for vnode.h in
these device drivers in the first place.
reorganization in rev 1.16 of i386/include/types.h which changed
stdlib.h's use of <machine/types.h>. The problem was the -I. was causing
machine/types.h to come from the current kernel source, while stdlib.h was
coming from /usr/include. /usr/include/stdlib.h is as old as the last
'make world', the machine/types.h was as new as the current source.
- Have the VFS lkm support use vfs_register() etc rather than having it's
own version.
- Have the syscall lkm support use syscall_register() etc rather than
having it's own verison.
- Convert the lkm driver to a module.
suggestions from Greg Lehey some time ago. In the face of multiple
potential file formats, try and give a more sensible error than just
ENOEXEC.
XXX a good case can be made that the loading process is wrong - the linker
should locate the file first (using the search paths etc), then run the
loaders to see if they recognize it. While the present system allows for
the possibility of different search paths for different formats, we do not
use it and it just makes things more complicated than they need to be.

to look up cookies properly, at least for standard controllers.
Cookies are used so that we don't have to pass around lots of args.
All of the dmainit functions use the unit number so it is essential
that we pass them a cookie with the correct unit number.
This may break working configurations if there are bugs in the
dmainit functions like the ones I just fixed for VIA chipsets.
Broken in: rev 1.4 of ide_pci.c and rev.1.139 of wd.c.
Prefetch/postwrite was enabled for the wrong controller. (VIA
is bitwise big endian and we confused ourself by shifting left
instead of right.)

(john hood <cgull@smoke.marlboro.vt.us>) on 7 Feb 1998
Instead of initializing UDMA mode, we turned it off and made sure that
it stays off by turning on the "UDMA enable by SET FEATURES" disable.
The damage was limited by bugs in cookie lookup, and suitable
initialization by some BIOSes. The cookie list has slaves before
masters, and the unit number is ignored when cookies are looked up,
so cookie lookup always finds cookies for slaves and the bug only
clobbers slaves, so the bug was harmless for common configurations
with no slaves or only non-UDMA slaves. UDMA initialization for
masters actually worked if the BIOS turns on the UDMA mode bit and
turns off the "UDMA enable by SET FEATURES" disable.
