4148 5544 d 19 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
 
4114 5550 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ Fix one RAW dependency.  
4094 5550 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/ update for the new scheme of wiring device drivers to keyboard/serial modules  
4042 5555 d 14 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.
 
3960 5569 d 8 h jermar /trunk/kernel/genarch/include/kbd/ Remove extern declarations.  
3941 5570 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Let IRQ claim methods take irq_t * instead of the instance argument.  
3938 5570 d 13 h jermar /trunk/kernel/genarch/ Embed the ns16550 irq structure into the ns16550 instance structure.  
3934 5571 d 6 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Improve the ns16550 driver.

- The driver support multiple instances.
- It still remembers the last registered IRQ in a global structure (cannot be
easily fixed now)
- Was converted to use PIO directly
 
3907 5574 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove forgotten #ifdef arch  
3906 5575 d 7 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 5575 d 15 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.
 
3655 5653 d 10 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Add additional members to the irq_t structure so that an interrupt-driven driver
does not need to know how to clear the level interrupt. The z8530 was modified
in this way and is much more generic. The ns16550 driver has also been modified,
but awaits testing. The sparc64 interrupt mapping and dispatch code is now using
the new info and calls the clear-interrupt-routine itself.
 
3646 5654 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Initial support for interrupt driven driver for ns16550.  
3577 5671 d 22 h vana /trunk/kernel/ Support for serial port console on IA64 as a compensation for keyboard - based on SPARC ns16550 driver  
2089 6324 d 17 h decky /trunk/ huge type system cleanup
remove cyclical type dependencies across multiple header files
many minor coding style fixes
 
2071 6335 d 10 h jermar /trunk/ (c) versus (C)  
1921 6430 d 11 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Changes in ns16550 and z8530 drivers.
Add some stuff for IRQ notifications to irq_t.
 
1920 6430 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Move the new IRQ redirector to ddi/.
Add function for assigning unique device numbers.
Change sparc64/drivers/kbd.c to assign devno to keyboard.
 
1919 6431 d 9 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Prototypical implementation of new IRQ redirector in sparc64.
The new code can support shared IRQs in kernel (and multiple IRQs per device).
Userspace support is yet to be written.
The only architecture that uses this code is actually sparc64 only.
 
1896 6452 d 8 h jermar /trunk/ Convert sparc64 to detect keyboard and determine
its physical address by walking the memory representation
of the OpenFirmware device tree.

Add bus-specific functions that know how to apply the
"ranges" property to one component of the "reg" property.
Buses supported so far include FHC, EBUS and PCI.
