- Import the common MII bitbang'ing code from NetBSD and convert drivers to take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 8k. The only potential in-tree users left unconverted are ed(4) and xe(4). Xe(4) generally should be changed to use miibus(4) instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it makes not much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to it just for the MII bitbang'ing code. Ed(4) has some chip specific things interwinded with the MII bitbang'ing code and it's unclear whether it can be converted to common code, at least not without thorough testing of all the various chips supported by ed(4). The common MII bitbang'ing code also is useful in the embedded space for using GPIO pins to implement MII access. - Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4), tl(4) and xl(4). - Sprinkle some const. Thanks to the following testers: Andrew Bliznak (nge(4)), nwhitehorn@ (bm(4)), yongari@ (sis(4) and ste(4)) Thanks to Hans-Joerg Sirtl for supplying hardware to test stge(4).

In order to maximize the re-usability of kernel code in user space this

2011-09-16T13:58:51Z

patch modifies makesyscalls.sh to prefix all of the non-compatibility calls (e.g. not linux_, freebsd32_) with sys_ and updates the kernel entry points and all places in the code that use them. It also fixes an additional name space collision between the kernel function psignal and the libc function of the same name by renaming the kernel psignal kern_psignal(). By introducing this change now we will ease future MFCs that change syscalls. Reviewed by: rwatson Approved by: re (bz)

flags field. Updates to the atomic flags are performed using the atomic ops on the containing word, do not require any vm lock to be held, and are non-blocking. The vm_page_aflag_set(9) and vm_page_aflag_clear(9) functions are provided to modify afalgs. Document the changes to flags field to only require the page lock. Introduce vm_page_reference(9) function to provide a stable KPI and KBI for filesystems like tmpfs and zfs which need to mark a page as referenced.

to VPO_UNMANAGED (and also making the flag protected by the vm object lock, instead of vm page queue lock). - Mark the fake pages with both PG_FICTITIOUS (as it is now) and VPO_UNMANAGED. As a consequence, pmap code now can use use just VPO_UNMANAGED to decide whether the page is unmanaged.
