correct console number for the VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl. Invalid console numbers
caused waiting on an invalid pointer.
Use bcopyw() instead of move_up() and move_down(). bcopyw() handles
overlapped copies and should be faster. Actually use bcopy(). bcopy()
is slightly faster if video memory is 16-bit and about twice as fast if
it is 32-bit. bcopy() is said to fail on someGA's, but syscons already
depends on it working for other accesses to video memory.
If nd->swap_nblks is zero in nfs_mountroot(), then the system
comes up without initializing swapdev_vp to an actual vnode pointer.
The swap pager assumes a non-NULL value for swapdev_vp.
The fix is to try initializing local swap if no NFS swap space
is specified.
Remove bogus input operands for fnsave(), fnstcw() and fnstsw().
Change all fwait's to fnop's. This might help avoid hardware bugs.
Wait after fninit with an fnop. This should be safer now.
Fix some spelling and formatting errors.
Use natural sizes for control and status words (u_short, promotes to int).
Don't clobber the SWI_CLOCK_MASK bits in npx0_imask when using IRQ13.
Set the devconf state correctly (always busy, if configured). Improve
code for npx_registerdev() a little (gcc can't keep id->id_unit in a
register for some reason). Don't register a nonexistent npx device.
Print a useful message in npxattach() again (delete references to errors
and not the whole message). Don't print "387 emulator" if there is no
emulator in the kernel.
Use %p for pointers in error messages.
Don't clobber the FPU state when there is an FPU exception. Just clear
the exception flags (after saving the flags as before). This allows
debuggers and SIGFPE handlers to look at the full exception state.
SIGFPE handlers should normally return via longjmp(), which restores a
good FPU state (as before). Returning from a SIGFPE handler may leave
the FPU in the wrong state (as before).
Clear the busy latch _after_ clearing the exception flags so that there
is less chance of getting a bogus h/w interrupt for a control operation.
Clear the saved exception status word when the next FPU instruction is
excuted so that it doesn't stick around until the next exception.
Clear the busy latch after fnsave() in npxsave() in case it was set when
npxsave() was called.
Fixes bugs in the latter: the `all' target was never up to date; there
was no `depend' target. Doesn't work for multiple info files because
it leverages bsd.doc.mk and that is broken. Info should be installed
more like man pages...
Updated to 2.0 .
Included sections about how to use DDB, post-mortem analysis of
a kernel crash where you didn't anticipate it and therefore
didn't config -g it. Added a real-world example of a kgdb session.
values for syncronous negotiation. The 284x series adaptors can now be
supported without the Bios being enabled. If you disable the Bios on the
274x series adaptors, all configuration parameters revert to the default
since there is no way to retrieve them.
You can now sling 14 devices off of a 274xT. In the process of adding
twin channel support, I removed all evident restrictions on supporting
Wide channeled devices, but I do not have a Wide controller to test them
on.
aic7770_seq.h, the pre-compiled header, is no longer needed since config
handles this dependancy.
- /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c is just plain broke. But fear not, for I
have unbroken it. One thing that swapgeneric.c does is walk through the
list of configured devices searching for a boot device. The only easy
way to accomplish this in 2.0 is to use Garret Wollman's kern_devconf
stuff. *BUT*, the head of the kern_devconf linked list (dc_list) is declared
static in /sys/kern/kern_devconf.c. This means that swapgeneric.c can't
see it at link time. I had to remove the 'static' keyword to get around
this little problem. I hope this doesn't break anything anywhere.
*Furthermore,* there's a small matter of making the call to setconf()
in swapgeneric.c disappear when 'config kernel swap generic' isn't used.
You could change /sbin/config to create a dummy setconf() function in
swapkernel.c, but that seems messy somehow. (It's also someting of an
'it isn't broken, why are you fixing it' situation.) My solution was to
do what the NetBSD people did and put an #ifdef GENERIC around the call
to setconf(). If your kernel is called GENERIC or you define 'options
GENERIC,' then you can use 'config kernel swap generic' and it'll work.
That aside, the upshot is that: a) swapgeneric.c actually works, and
and b) the -a boot flag now works as well. If you boot with -a, as in
"Boot: wd(0,a)/kernel -a" you will be presented with a 'root device?'
prompt after the autoconfig phase, at which point you can specify what
device you want mounted as root. Regrettably, you can't specify an NFS
filesystem. Yet. Three files are affected: /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c,
/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c and /sys/kern/kern_devconf.c.

- /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c doesn't quite know how to deal with SMC EtherEZ
ethernet cards. The EtherEZ looks just like the Elite Ultra, except it
has only 8K of shared memory. The only way to have it properly detected
is to zero and test a few bytes of memory just about the first 8K region.
If it clears properly, it's an Elite Ultra, otherwise it's an EtherEZ.
I've also got an EtherEZ patch for netboot (Makefile, ether.c and ether.h).
- /sys/i386/isa/syscons.c wraps at the next to the last column rather than
the last column, like it should. You don't really notice this unless you
use certain programs that write all the way out to, say, the 80th column,
like VMSmail. Along with a one-line fix for this are some changes to
implement a non-blinking cursor. Put 'options "NOBLINK_CURSOR"' in your
config file and give it a try. :)

This might be useful for debugging applications that use a special LDT.
However, printing of all segment registers is currently broken.
Don't print "last exception: " before the FPU opcode and pc, etc. The
opcode and pc, etc., are for the last FPU _instruction_.
Pass the saved exception status word to print_387_status() so that the
exception(s) that caused or will cause a trap can be seen. The kernel
has supported this since 1.1 or before. The kernel still clobbers the
tag word if a trap occurs.
Remove unused null function clear_regs().
