4057 5721 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ optional EGA support  
4047 5721 d 23 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 5722 d 4 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 5725 d 21 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 5725 d 23 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 5726 d 0 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ There is no need to define ioport{8,16,32}_t types for each architecture separately.  
4017 5726 d 4 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/ better inline assembler readability using the new symbolic syntax  
3987 5727 d 23 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.  
3982 5729 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Do not set sysinfo for uspace drivers directly in the kernel drivers.  
3973 5730 d 8 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()
 
3963 5735 d 4 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ The kernel i8042 driver should be instance-neutral.  
3948 5736 d 2 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/ Unbreak amd64.  
3940 5737 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3932 5737 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Kill arch/drivers/ega.h. Provide one-stop shopping
place for architectures with ia32 legacy I/O space.
 
3929 5737 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/ Introduce ioport8_t, ioport16_t and ioport32_t. These types are to be used with
pio_read_n() and pio_write_n() functions. This breaks everything.
 
3908 5741 d 1 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3906 5741 d 21 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ IRQ handlers are using one superfluous argument and an unused elipsis.
On the other hand, IRQ claim functions would need to be passed the instance
argument.
 
3902 5742 d 5 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Introduce a more platform-neutral name for programmed I/O.

The new API looks like pio_read_n() or pio_write_n(), where n is 8, 16 or 32.
The old API (i.e. inb(), inw(), inl(), outb() outw(), outl()) may have made
some people think that the interface is only to be used with the separate I/O
space. That's not the case. This API is to be implemented on all platforms
so that we can finally have really generic kernel device drivers.
 
3892 5742 d 23 h jermar /trunk/ Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_AS_WATCHPOINT.  
3890 5743 d 0 h jermar /trunk/ Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALLREGS.
