4556 5450 d 8 h decky /trunk/ define endianess externally to be able to exactly specify whether we are using UTF-32LE or UTF-32BE
quit messing with BOM in UTF-32
 
4490 5464 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/ remove redundant index_t and count_t types (which were always quite ambiguous and not actually needed)  
4402 5480 d 19 h decky /trunk/ remove the confusing "Improved support for hyperthreading" configuration option  
4311 5508 d 4 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 5523 d 0 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 5529 d 20 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)
 
4162 5539 d 19 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/ Discard the eh_frame section on amd64, which improves the kernel size by
hundreds of kilobytes. Discard all other unknown sections as well.
 
4148 5542 d 6 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
 
4145 5542 d 6 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/src/ fix typo  
4137 5542 d 20 h svoboda /trunk/kernel/ Make optionality of symbol information less intrusive per Jakub's request. Also, improve symtab function names and update their semantics.  
4132 5543 d 18 h svoboda /trunk/ Make kernel symbol information optional.  
4127 5547 d 3 h decky /trunk/ parse VESA mode from a string
unify VESA initialization for ia32 and amd64
 
4126 5547 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ cleanup pm.h and related stuff (no change in functionality)  
4102 5547 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/src/ update for the new scheme of wiring device drivers to keyboard/serial modules
use ega_redraw() only if it is compiled in
 
4101 5547 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ remove duplicate part of the debugger message
(it is already printed by kconsole)
 
4100 5547 d 22 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/src/boot/ whitespace changes  
4095 5547 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ make cpu_halt() really halt the execution  
4057 5552 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ optional EGA support  
4047 5552 d 20 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 5553 d 0 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 5556 d 17 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 5556 d 19 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 5556 d 20 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ There is no need to define ioport{8,16,32}_t types for each architecture separately.  
4017 5557 d 1 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/ better inline assembler readability using the new symbolic syntax  
3987 5558 d 20 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 5559 d 22 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Do not set sysinfo for uspace drivers directly in the kernel drivers.  
3973 5561 d 5 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 5566 d 1 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ The kernel i8042 driver should be instance-neutral.  
3948 5566 d 23 h jermar /trunk/kernel/arch/amd64/ Unbreak amd64.  
3940 5567 d 23 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3932 5568 d 18 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Kill arch/drivers/ega.h. Provide one-stop shopping
place for architectures with ia32 legacy I/O space.
 
3929 5568 d 18 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 5571 d 22 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3906 5572 d 17 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 5573 d 1 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 5573 d 19 h jermar /trunk/ Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_AS_WATCHPOINT.  
3890 5573 d 20 h jermar /trunk/ Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALLREGS.  
3880 5575 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ simplify configuration
introduce arch_construct_function and inb/outb (sometimes empty) on all platforms
various code cleanup
 
3879 5575 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ simplify configuration in Makefiles  
3878 5575 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/arch/ introduce fncptr_t and ioport_t on all platforms
