4402 5606 d 12 h decky /trunk/ remove the confusing "Improved support for hyperthreading" configuration option  
4311 5633 d 20 h decky /trunk/ change the way how input devices are wired together according to ticket #44
(also the proposal http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/private/helenos-devel/2009-March/002507.html)
 
4251 5648 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/ ia32, amd64: do not reboot via a triple fault (which is nasty), but use the i8042 controller to trigger CPU reset  
4195 5655 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ detect SYSENTER/SYSEXIT support on boot
(this serves as a hint for people who try to boot HelenOS on Bochs emulating plain Pentium,
unfortunatelly it also kills VirtualBox, as it does not support SYSENTER/SYSEXIT officially,
see http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1248)
 
4152 5667 d 15 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ Fix typo.  
4151 5667 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/ properly detect VESA 16 bpp modes with 5:5:5 colors  
4150 5667 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ check for proper VESA mode attributes  
4149 5667 d 19 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ ignore leading spaces in video mode command line  
4148 5667 d 22 h decky /trunk/ as kernel little brother drivers are not needed anymore, the device numbers do not have to be correlated between kernel and uspace in any way
introduce new syscall sys_device_assign_devno() for generating system-wide unique device numbers for uspace
 
4137 5668 d 13 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Make optionality of symbol information less intrusive per Jakub's request. Also, improve symtab function names and update their semantics.  
4133 5669 d 11 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/include/ Fix non-SMP ia32 build.  
4132 5669 d 11 h svoboda /trunk/ Make kernel symbol information optional.  
4128 5672 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ support for overriding the preconfigured VESA mode via GRUB command line option  
4127 5672 d 20 h decky /trunk/ parse VESA mode from a string
unify VESA initialization for ia32 and amd64
 
4126 5672 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ cleanup pm.h and related stuff (no change in functionality)  
4125 5672 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/ rename selector() to gdtselector() to unify with amd64  
4099 5673 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/ update for the new scheme of wiring device drivers to keyboard/serial modules
use ega_redraw() only if it is compiled in
 
4098 5673 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/include/drivers/ whitespace changes  
4097 5673 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/include/drivers/ remove obsolete include file  
4096 5673 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/drivers/ fix very strange condition  
4095 5673 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ make cpu_halt() really halt the execution  
4057 5677 d 19 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ optional EGA support  
4047 5678 d 12 h jermar /trunk/ Improve the configuration file.

- Support for easy configuration with sane defaults.

- Fix the ambiguous MACHINE variable by introducing the PROCESSOR variable.

- Eliminate some unnecessarily detailed questions by providing defaults for the
Serengeti machine.

- Introduce CONFIG_HID_IN and CONFIG_HID_OUT variables. They help to limit the
number of offered HID devices. In the future, they can be also used to
configure the way how the serial controller devices are connected to the
keyboard / serial line modules on some platforms where we can't autodetect.
 
4042 5678 d 17 h jermar /trunk/ Complete emancipation of kernel serial controller drivers (i8042, ns16550 and
z8530). Provide a common keyboard module for PC and Sun keyboards. The serial
line module is still to follow.
 
4026 5682 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Make the kbd port drivers platform neutral by using PIO functions.
The kernel now supplies the physical address and the kernel virtual address.
 
4022 5682 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/ Move multiboot parsing to genarch/*/multiboot and adapt it for use with both ia32 and amd64. Multiboot info parsing now supported on amd64, too.  
4021 5682 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ There is no need to define ioport{8,16,32}_t types for each architecture separately.  
4016 5682 d 18 h decky /trunk/kernel/ better inline assembler readability using the new symbolic syntax  
4015 5682 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/ rename ia32_cboot() to arch_pre_main() and move it to ia32.c (to be in line with other platforms)  
4014 5682 d 20 h decky /trunk/ cstyle  
4012 5683 d 11 h svoboda /trunk/ Task names should only contain base names of commands. Also add 'boot:' prefix for binaries loaded by the kernel.  
4011 5683 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ String functions should be declared in string.h (and implemented in string.c) in the kernel.  
3987 5684 d 12 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Read command line for multiboot modules on ia32 and copy it to task name. Other arches will need to initialize task names in the init structure to an empty string.  
3985 5684 d 13 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/arch/ia32/src/boot/ Rewrite rest of multiboot info parsing to C.  
3984 5684 d 14 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ The ia32-specific boot code is written completely in assembly for no reason. Start fixing this. For now rewrite the copying of multiboot info to C.  
3982 5685 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Do not set sysinfo for uspace drivers directly in the kernel drivers.  
3973 5686 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/ kernel memory management revisited (phase 2): map physical memory according to zones
- ia32: register reserved and ACPI zones
- pareas are now used only for mapping of present physical memory (hw_area() is gone)
- firmware zones and physical addresses outside any zones are allowed to be mapped generally
- fix nasty antient bug in zones_insert_zone()
 
3972 5687 d 10 h decky /trunk/kernel/ kernel memory management revisited (phase 1): proper support for zone flags
- the zone_t structures are now statically allocated to be easily available
- the locking scheme was simplified
- new flags for non-available zones were introduced
- FRAME_LOW_4_GiB flag is removed, the functionality will be eventually reimplemented using a generic mechanism
 
3964 5689 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/ switch between the preference of kernel/uspace IRQ hash table  
3963 5691 d 17 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ The kernel i8042 driver should be instance-neutral.
