First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):
% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

dependent operation, and not really a correct name. invltlb and invlpg
are more descriptive, and in the case of invlpg, a real opcode.
Additionally, fix the tlb management code for 386 machines.
lcall 7,0 (ie: ldt slot 0) and lcall 0x87,0 (ldt slot 16, it's shifted
three bits to the left). I was fiddling with this so long ago, I don't
recall the specifics.
with this quite a while ago when somebody reported a BSD/OS 2.1 binary
that wouldn't run. I'm pretty sure they tried it and I'm pretty sure
they mentioned to me that the patch worked.
comparisons in the inb() and outb() macros. I decided that int args
are OK here. Any type that can hold a u_int16_t without overflow
is correct, and 32-bit types are optimal.
Introduced a few tens of warnings (100 in LINT) for use of pessimized
(short) types for the port arg. Only a few drivers are affected by
this. u_short pessimizations aren't detected.
Added `__extension__' before the statement-expression in inb() so
that it can be compiled without warnings by gcc -pedantic.
the prototype.
Put the jump table for i486_bzero() in the data section. This
speeds up i486_bzero() a little on Pentiums without significantly
affecting its speed on 486's.
Don't waste time falling through 14 nop's to return from do1 in
i486_bzero().
Use fastmove() for counts >= 1024 (was > 1024). Cosmetic.
Fixed profiling of fastmove().
Restored meaningful labels from the pre-1.1 version in fastmove().
Local labels are evil.
Fixed (high resolution non-) profiling of __bb_init_func().
I maintain that it saves more power to simply "hlt" the CPU than to
spend tons of time trying to tell the APM bios to do the same.
In particular if you do it 100 times a second...
instead of 0 if there is no input.
syscons.c:
Added missing spl locking in sccncheckc(). Return the same value as
sccngetc() would. It is wrong for sccngetc() to return non-ASCII, but
stripping the non-ASCII bits doesn't help.
(1) Add PC98 support to apm_bios.h and ns16550.h, remove pc98/pc98/ic
(2) Move PC98 specific code out of cpufunc.h (to pc98.h)
(3) Let the boot subtrees look more alike

the worst affected. Additionally, numerous minor cleanups,
including better handling of busy page table pages. This
commit fixes the worst of the pmap problems recently introduced.
biosextmem > 65536, but biosextmem is a 16-bit quantity so it is
guaranteed to be < 65536. Related cruft for biosbasemem was
mostly cleaned up in rev.1.26.
The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache. (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)
returned by the RTC, use the bootblock supplied value. Also, map the
'stolen by BIOS' memory in the same manner as the ISA-hole memory, since
it is really an extenstion of the BIOS. This is necessary for 32-bit
BIOS functions such as APM support on laptops, and the loss of memory
for non-necessary functions seems to be at most 4k.

This hack makes this 89.999928 Mhz clock correctly round to the closer
90.00-MHz rather than 89.99-MHz:

Changed i586_ctr_bias from long long to u_int. Only the low 32 bits
are used now that microtime uses a multiplication to do the scaling.
Previously the high 32 bits had to match those of rdtsc() to prevent
overflow traps and invalid timeval adjustments.

Fixed the kern.dumpdev sysctl. Writes were handle bogusly.
