this avoids listing the upper half of 64-bit membars
in Pcidev.mem[] array avoiding potential confusion
in drivers.
we also check if the upper half is programmed to zero
by bios and otherwise zap the entry in Pcidev.mem[]
and print a warning.
qemu puts multiboot data after the end of the kernel image, so
to be able to KADDR() that memory early, we extend the initial
identity mapping by 16K. right now we just got lucky with
the pc kernel as it rounds the map to 4MB pages.
when we switch to graphics mode, we do not want graphical arcs console
to print on the screen anymore as it assumes 8bit color mode and just
messes up the screen on kernel prints.
fixes bug with libmemdraw where the linker would hoist
the final ADD $const, SP at the end over loads from the
stack causing the front to fall off once a interrupt hits.
GEVector() saves the exception return PC in Ureg.r27 which needs
to be preserved.
there should be no reason for the user to change the status
register from noted() eigther, so we now just use setregisters()
in noted() to restore previous general purpose registers. this
means that CU1 will always be off after noted() because notify()
has disabled the FPU on entry and set fpstatus to FPinactive
if it was on. once user starts using FPU again, it will trap and
restore fpu registers.
touching transmit descriptors while dma is running causes the
front to fall off. new approach keeps a counter of free
descriptors in the Ring structure that is incremented
by txintr() when transmit completed.
txintr() will clean descriptors once dma has stopped and
restart dma when there are more descrtors in the chain.
this provides basic console support using the ARC bios routines
theu uartarcs driver. and has native seeq ethernet driver which
was written by reading the 2ed devseq driver as i have no
documentation on the hardware. mmu and trap code is based on the
routerboard kernel.
bootmkfile will now looks for the following proto files in order
and pick the first one it finds to build the bootfs.paq file:
1) $CONF.boofs.proto (config specific)
2) bootfs.proto (kernel specific)
3) $BOOTDIR/bootfs.proto (default generic)
from the unicode-db patch readme:
command() receives a char* that is assigned to lp, which is a Rune*,
and lp is incremented later in readchar(), so each read consumed 4 bytes.
The only time command() is called is in runpcs() with bkpt->comm,
which is a char* built in subpcs through a char*, so the string stored in
bkpt->comm was not a Rune string. A way to test the bug is:
db program
main:b argv/X
:r
