6d0e53c2ca use oxpcie only if enabled to avoid baud bottleneck of uart. 2010-05-19 10:18:46 +00:00

9ba760e603 kernel: oxpcie serial card support.
ask to map in oxpcie i/o memory and support serial i/o for it in the
kernel. set oxpcie=<address> in boot monitor (retrieve address using
pci_debug=1 output). (no sanity checking is done on the address
currently.) disabled by default.

The change also contains some other minor cleanup (a new serial.h to set
register info common to UART and the OXPCIe card, in-kernel memory
mapping a little more structured and env_get() to get sysenv variables
without knowing about the params_buffer).

b90c2d7026 rename of mode/context switching functions
- this patch only renames schedcheck() to switch_to_user(),
  cycles_accounting_stop() to context_stop() and restart() to
  +restore_user_context()

- the motivation is that since the introduction of schedcheck() it has
  been abused for many things. It deserves a better name.  It should
  express the fact that from the moment we call the function we are in
  the process of switching to user.

- cycles_accounting_stop() was originally a single purpose function.
  As this function is called at were convenient places it is used in
  for other things too, e.g. (un)locking the kernel. Thus it deserves
  a better name too.

- using the old name, restart() does not call schedcheck(), however
  calls to restart are replaced by calls to schedcheck()
  [switch_to_user] and it calls restart() [restore_user_context]

57a88ce708 debugging - printing processes on serial
- this patch moves the former printslot() from arch_system.c to
  debug.c and reimplements it slightly. The output is not changed,
  however, the process information is printed in a separate function
  print_proc() in debug.c as such a function is also handy in other
  situations and should be publicly available when debugging.

50335291ae kernel: fpu_init: only enable OSXMMEXCPT in CR4 on at least SSE1 machines.
Found and debugged by totalinux at yandex.ru and Evgeniy Ivanov, thanks!

c37401f23f kernel: fpu init to separate function; also move fpu init down
moving the fpu code causes exceptions raised by it to be trapped
neatly instead of causing a triple fault, before the IDT is initialized.

a774cc832f do_ipc() rearrangements
this patch does not add or change any functionality of do_ipc(), it
only makes things a little cleaner (hopefully).

Until now do_ipc() was responsible for handling all ipc calls. The
catch is that SENDA is fairly different which results in some ugly
code like this typecasting and variables naming which does not make
much sense for SENDA and makes the code hard to read.

result = mini_senda(caller_ptr, (asynmsg_t *)m_ptr, (size_t)src_dst_e);

As it is called directly from assembly, the new do_ipc() takes as
input values of 3 registers in reg_t variables (it used to be 4,
however, bit_map wasn't used so I removed it), does the checks common
to all ipc calls and call the appropriate handler either for
do_sync_ipc() (all except SENDA) or mini_senda() (for SENDA) while
typecasting the reg_t values correctly. As a result, handling SENDA
differences in do_sync_ipc() is no more needed. Also the code that
uses msg_size variable is improved a little bit.

arch_do_syscall() is simplified too.
