The old version only worked right when the time was read strictly
more often than every 1/HZ seconds, but we only guarantee reading
it every (1/HZ + epsilon) seconds. Part of rev.1.126-1.127 attempted
to fix this but didn't succeed. Detect counter rollover using the
heuristic from the old version of microtime() with additional
complications for supporting calls from fast interrupt handlers.
This works provided i8254 interrupts are not delayed by more than
1/(2*HZ) seconds.
This needs more comments, and cleanups for the SMP case, and more
testing of the SMP case before it is merged into RELENG_3.

easier to use and more flexible.
* Change BUS_ADD_CHILD to take an order argument instead of a place.
* Define a partial ordering for isa devices so that sensitive devices are
probed before non-sensitive ones.
* Re-work the resource allocation code to use helper functions in subr_bus.c.
* Add simple isa interface for manipulating the resource ranges which can be
allocated and remove the code from isa_write_ivar() which was previously
used for this purpose.
instances to a parent bus.
* Define a new method BUS_ADD_CHILD which can be called from DEVICE_IDENTIFY
to add new instances.
* Add a generic implementation of DEVICE_PROBE which calls DEVICE_IDENTIFY
for each driver attached to the parent's devclass.
* Move the hint-based isa probe from the isa driver to a new isahint driver
which can be shared between i386 and alpha.
with other reset handling in rev.1.83 but broke it in rev.1.120. The
breakage didn't seem to cause any problems even on the system which had
problems ("extra" interrupts and botched handling thereof) before rev.1.83.
It only affects multi-floppy systems anyway.
although this is pretty trivial. devclass_get_softc() is a tad more
expensive than the old com_addr() implementation. If Bruce is really
worried about the cost of this, it could always be changed so that the
softc pointer is stored in a local array again.
I'm not too happy about the result either, but at least it has less
chance of backfiring.
This particular feature could be called "a mess" without offending
anybody.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.
Join CDEV_MODULE and BDEV_MODULE to DEV_MODULE (please pay attention
to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)
Join CDEV_DRIVER_MODULE and BDEV_DRIVER_MODULE to DEV_DRIVER_MODULE
(ditto!)
(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)
Mark the GDB port in the config file with flags 0x80. Currently
only the sio driver checks these flags and sets up a GDB port,
but adding similar code to other serial drivers would be easy.
For backward compatibility, if an sio port is marked as the console
and no port is marked as the gdb port, the GDB port will be mapped
to the console port. This hack should go away at some point.
1:
s/suser/suser_xxx/
2:
Add new function: suser(struct proc *), prototyped in <sys/proc.h>.
3:
s/suser_xxx(\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)->p_ucred, \&\1->p_acflag)/suser(\1)/
The remaining suser_xxx() calls will be scrutinized and dealt with
later.
There may be some unneeded #include <sys/cred.h>, but they are left
as an exercise for Bruce.
More changes to the suser() API will come along with the "jail" code.
Interrupts under the new scheme are managed by the i386 nexus with the
awareness of the resource manager. There is further room for optimizing
the interfaces still. All the users of register_intr()/intr_create()
should be gone, with the exception of pcic and i386/isa/clock.c.
- fix cut/paste problem. :-)
- don't forget to call isa_dmacascade()
- reset the port after we release resources.
That last one is a trap to watch out for.. The isa bus driver uses the
same port/irq/mem/etc variables for the initial probe hints as it does
for allocation/deallocation tracking. Releasing a resource clears the
variable and then you loose the hint during attach.. (ouch!)
had a quirk that made a shim rather hard to implement properly and it was
just easier to convert the drivers in one go. The changes to the
buslogic driver go beyond just this - the whole driver was new-bus'ed
including pci and isa. I have only tested the EISA part of this so far.
