Macroize locore.s' page table setup even more, now it's almost readable.
Rename PG_U to PG_A (so that I can...)
Rename PG_u to PG_U. "PG_u" was just too ugly...
Remove some unused vars in pmap.c
Remove PG_KR and PG_KW
Remove SSIZE
Remove SINCR
Remove BTOPKERNBASE
This concludes my spring cleaning, modulus any bug fixes for messes I
have made on the way.
(Funny to be back here in pmap.c, that's where my first significant
contribution to 386BSD was... :-)
very busy servers (eg: news, web). This is an interaction between
embryonic processes that have not yet finished forking, and happen to
cause the kernel VM space to grow, hitting the uninitialised variable.
It was possible for this to strike at any time, depending on the size of
your kernel and load patterns. One machine had paniced occasionally
when cron launches a job since before the 2.1 release.
If you had "options DIAGNOSTIC", you may have seen references to bogus
addresses like 0xdeadc142 and the like.
This is a minimal change to fix the problem, it will probably be done
better by reordering p_vmspace to be in the startzero section, but it
becomes harder to validate then.
It's been vulnerable since pmap.c rev 1.40 (Jan 9, 1995), so it's been a
cause of problems since well before 2.0.5. This was when the merged
VM/buffer cache and the dynamic growing kernel VM space were first
committed. This probably fixes a few of PR's.
time. The results are currently ignored unless certain temporary options
are used.
Added sysctls to support reading and writing the clock frequency variables
(not the frequencies themselves). Writing is supposed to atomically
adjust all related variables.
machdep.c:
Fixed spelling of a function name in a comment so that I can log this
message which should have been with the previous commit.
Initialize `cpu_class' earlier so that it can be used in startrtclock()
instead of in calibrate_cyclecounter() (which no longer exists).
Removed range checking of `cpu'. It is always initialized to CPU_XXX
so it is less likely to be out of bounds than most variables.
clock.h:
Removed I586_CYCLECTR(). Use rdtsc() instead.
clock.c:
TIMER_FREQ is now a variable timer_freq that defaults to the old value of
TIMER_FREQ. #define'ing TIMER_FREQ should still work and may be the best
way of setting the frequency.
Calibration involves counting cycles while watching the RTC for one second.
This gives values correct to within (a few ppm) + (the innaccuracy of the
RTC) on my systems.
Fixed longstanding namespace convolution involving rune_t vs wchar_t...
This change breaks similar (but more convoluted) convolutions in the
stddef.h in gcc distributions. Ports of gcc should avoid using the
gcc headers.
page dir+table index.
pmap.h: remove NUPDE, it was wrong and not used. Sanitize KSTKPTEOFF.
vmparam.h: Calculate virtual addr from PDI+PTI from pmap.h rather than
using magic math. Remove UPDT, not used.
