128 byte reads are much more common than 32 byte reads. The message
passing + setup/teardown for a read is much more expensive, in terms
of time, than the reading itself. A slightly bigger struct is well
worth the time savings. This reduces read times for /dev/eeprom
from 57 seconds per 4KB to 14 seconds.
Additionally, make sending the page address in the eeprom driver
and utility optional. This can save a little time when reading
within the same page and allows support for smaller devices that
don't support pages (example: chips containing EDID).

When we send MMC commads that contain data the controller provides no
description of the order of events and we need to be able to send data
from and to the controller "when needed". Changed the code to react
on buffer read and buffer write ready based on interrupts.

. always keep reading data from uart so the interrupt is
not continually asserted if data is sent but no process
reads it
. increase tx & rx fifo trigger levels -> reduces the number
of interrupts necessary
. bigger rx/tx buffers

. ignore interrupt (stop interrupt check loop) if
interrupt bit not set; limit loop too
. mask off other bits when testing bits in the status register
. this fixes rs232 output that would otherwise never get re-triggered
as too many bits were set in the status byte to match the
possibilities.

The kernel API for requesting interrupts and the associated callback
have a somewhat strange behaviour. Requesting an interrupts is done
by calling sys_irqsetpolicy using an interrupt and a given id. This
id can be modified by the sys_irqsetpolicy and must be used for
subsequent calls to sys_irqenable/sys_irqdisable. However upon an
incoming call from the kernel NOTIFY_ARG contains the original value
encoded in a set e.g. if 1 << id == true the interrupt was raised.
In order to make it more clear that ticks should be used for timers
and realtime should be used for timestamps / displaying the date/time,
getuptime() was renamed to getticks() and getuptime2() was renamed to
getuptime().
Servers, drivers, libraries, tests, etc that use getuptime()/getuptime2()
have been updated. In instances where a realtime was calculated, the
calculation was changed to use realtime.
System calls clock_getres() and clock_gettime() were added to PM/libc.
To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.
This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.
. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
from the shell
. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
boot-time ramdisk files
. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
we're running on from sysenv
. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
i386 systems
. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
releasetools/

The build system distinction between "bootprog" and "service" is
meaningless as boot programs are standard services.
As minix.service.mk simply imports minix.bootprog.mk, reduce confusion
by removing minix.bootprog.mk and placing the rules in minix.service.mk.

This patch introduces a framebuffer to Minix. It's written for the ARM
port of Minix, but has an architectural split that separates the
hardware dependent part from the non-hardware dependent part. Futhermore,
this driver was developed using a screen that has a native resolution of
1024x600 pixels and having lack of support for obtaining EDID from the
screen. Consequently, it uses a hardcoded resolution of 1024x600.
The driver uses an interface based on the Linux ioctl API, but supports
only a very limited subset.
All cards in this family (RTL8101E, RTL8102E, RTL8103E, RTL8105E,
possibly others) should be recognized based on the added PCI ID.
The hardware version number of the RTL8105E has been added only to
serve as an example of a card that does not require modification of
certain undocumented registers.
- if supported, override BSY/DRQ flags and start the port anyway if it
times out with DET=3h status during device detection;
- no longer rely on the device signature to be set; unless a valid
signature is obtained, try both ATA and ATAPI device identification.
- do not start a port before the BSY and DRQ flags have been cleared;
as such, poll on device status rather than signature availability.
- change "ahci_sig_timeout" to "ahci_device_timeout" variable setting
accordingly; this variable determines the polling duration before a
newly attached device is given up on, and uses 30 seconds as default;
- use port connect changes (PCS/X/DET->1h) to kick off polling for an
attached device; detachment is still detected by means of PhyRdy
status changes (PRCS/N/DET<->3h).
- the "ahci_sig_timeout" variable now denotes the entire checking
period, and the delay between checks has been hardcoded; what was
previously "ahci_sig_checks" is now computed from those two;
- timeout values are no longer used for both millisecond and clock
tick values, and better typed;
- the computation of timeouts is no longer off by half a second.
There is no need to set/clear PxCMD.FRE on every port start/stop.
Also remove some already useless and now also incomplete port
reinitialization at startup.

upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC
Makefiles updates to imporve portability
Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.
The tested targets are the followgin ones:
* tools
* distribution
* sets
* release
The remaining NetBSD targets have not been disabled nor tested
*at all*. Try them at your own risk, they may reboot the earth.
For all compliant Makefiles, objects and generated files are put in
MAKEOBJDIR, which means you can now keep objects between two branch
switching. Same for DESTDIR, please refer to build.sh options.
Regarding new or modifications of Makefiles a few things:
* Read share/mk/bsd.README
* If you add a subdirectory, add a Makefile in it, and have it called
by the parent through the SUBDIR variable.
* Do not add arbitrary inclusion which crosses to another branch of
the hierarchy; If you can't do without it, put a comment on why.
If possible, do not use inclusion at all.
* Use as much as possible the infrastructure, it is here to make
life easier, do not fight it.
Sets and package are now used to track files.
We have one set called "minix", composed of one package called "minix-sys"
.Split TTY in order to support both x86 and ARM.

boot variable -- basically any valid /dev/tty* terminal.
.Cutify kernel messages with colors. Configured by
"kernelclr={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}" boot variable.
* Add dummy driver to allow independent testing of mmcblk.
* Always build the mmc driver to prevent breakage.

By decoupling synchronous drivers from VFS, we are a big step closer to
supporting driver crashes under all circumstances. That is, VFS can't
become stuck on IPC with a synchronous driver (e.g., INET) and can
recover from crashing block drivers during open/close/ioctl or during
communication with an FS.
In order to maintain serialized communication with a synchronous driver,
the communication is wrapped by a mutex on a per driver basis (not major
numbers as there can be multiple majors with identical endpoints). Majors
that share a driver endpoint point to a single mutex object.
In order to support crashes from block drivers, the file reopen tactic
had to be changed; first reopen files associated with the crashed
driver, then send the new driver endpoint to FSes. This solves a
deadlock between the FS and the block driver;
- VFS would send REQ_NEW_DRIVER to an FS, but he FS only receives it
after retrying the current request to the newly started driver.
- The block driver would refuse the retried request until all files
had been reopened.
- VFS would reopen files only after getting a reply from the initial
REQ_NEW_DRIVER.
When a character special driver crashes, all associated files have to
be marked invalid and closed (or reopened if flagged as such). However,
they can only be closed if a thread holds exclusive access to it. To
obtain exclusive access, the worker thread (which handles the new driver
endpoint event from DS) schedules a new job to garbage collect invalid
files. This way, we can signal the worker thread that was talking to the
crashed driver and will release exclusive access to a file associated
with the crashed driver and prevent the garbage collecting worker thread
from dead locking on that file.
Also, when a character special driver crashes, RS will unmap the driver
and remap it upon restart. During unmapping, associated files are marked
invalid instead of waiting for an endpoint up event from DS, as that
event might come later than new read/write/select requests and thus
cause confusion in the freshly started driver.
When locking a filp, the usage counters are no longer checked. The usage
counter can legally go down to zero during filp invalidation while there
are locks pending.
DS events are handled by a separate worker thread instead of the main
thread as reopening files could lead to another crash and a stuck thread.
An additional worker thread is then necessary to unlock it.
Finally, with everything asynchronous a race condition in do_select
surfaced. A select entry was only marked in use after succesfully sending
initial select requests to drivers and having to wait. When multiple
select() calls were handled there was opportunity that these entries
were overwritten. This had as effect that some select results were
ignored (and select() remained blocking instead if returning) or do_select
tried to access filps that were not present (because thrown away by
secondary select()). This bug manifested itself with sendrecs, but was
very hard to reproduce. However, it became awfully easy to trigger with
asynsends only.
