ttwwakeup(). The conditions for doing the wakeup will soon become
more complicated and I don't want them duplicated in all drivers.
It's probably not worth making ttwwakeup() a macro or an inline
function. The cost of the function call is relatively small when
there is a process to wake up. There is usually a process to wake
up for large writes and the system call overhead dwarfs the function
call overhead for small writes.
Temporarily nuke TS_WOPEN. It was only used for the obscure MDMBUF
flow control option in the kernel and for informational purposes
in `pstat -t'. The latter worked properly only for ptys. In
general there may be multiple processes sleeping in open() and
multiple processes that successfully opened the tty by opening it
in O_NONBLOCK mode or during a window when CLOCAL was set. tty.c
doesn't have enough information to maintain the flag but always
cleared it in ttyopen().
TS_WOPEN should be restored someday just so that `pstat -t' can
display it (MDMBUF is already fixed). Fixing it requires counting
of processes sleeping in open() in too many serial drivers.
is identical to the older version, just the copyright has changed. Many

Have the sequencer do a MSG_REJECT when the negotiated syncronous rate
is lower than the adapter supports. This forces asyncronous mode which
is faster at these rates anyway.
This code will be moved shortly to the non-gpld portion of the tree.
old value.
Remove unnecessary check for active messages in setup SCB. This same test
would also jump to p_mesgin_done which would "ACK" an extra time possibly
confusing the target.
Tell the kernel driver whenever we send an ABORT_TAG message.
- Report valid residual byte counts. We actually pause the sequencer
when the residual is non-zero. I thought about using DMA to do this,
bus sequencer program space is tight.
- Fix embarassing off by one error in the computation of a 2's
compliment variable. This was most likely the cause of the
many problems reported with the tagged queuing code.
- Handle "MAX_SYNC" as a special case (ie we are the ones starting
the sync negotiation sequence). This was done so that the target
scratch area can be initialed to 0 offset (asyncronous transfers)
safely. The initialization to 0 (was 15) is necessary since in
some cases a Wide negotiation could run into problems if SCSIRATE
was set wrong and we went into data(in/out).
- Trim the DMA routines a little by using some procedures. Net
effect is more functionality with 3 less instructions after this
update.
- Toggle the WIDEODD bit of the DFCNTRL whenever this is not the
last SG block. It has no effect in the 8bit bus configuration,
but in the Wide configuration ensures that the overlap byte is
held in the SCSI block if the transfer is odd so it will end
up in the next SG (the correct behavior).
(a) bring back ttselect, now that we have xxxdevtotty() it isn't dangerous.
(b) remove all of the wrappers that have been replaced by ttselect
(c) fix formatting in syscons.c and definition in syscons.h
(d) add cxdevtotty
NOT DONE:
(e) make pcvt work... it was already broken...when someone fixes pcvt to
link properly, just rename get_pccons to xxxdevtotty and we're done
(b) add a function callback vector to tty drivers that will return a pointer
to a valid tty structure based upon a dev_t
(c) make syscons structures the same size whether or not APM is enabled so
utilities don't crash if NAPM changes (and make the damn kernel compile!)
(d) rewrite /dev/snp ioctl interface so that it is device driver and i386
independant

This is only one part - the rest to follow in a couple of hours.
This part is a benign import, since it doesn't affect anything else.
Print out the length of the compiled sequencer program.
aic7xxx.seq:
More optimizations. Replace generic bcopy routine with bcopy_3
and bcopy_4 (ie unroll the loops) since these are the only two cases used.
Initialize SIMODE1 and SXFRCTL1 from the kernel in ahc_init instead of
at each selection/reselection since this is expensive and only needs to
be done once. Condense function returns into previous instruction if possible.
Reorder some sections to kill superflous jumps. These optimizations kill
the ~150k/s penalty adding support for Twin/Wide cards was costing since
the last place in the commaon path of execution where we had to do ugly,
convoluted testing for the type of card in the sequencer has gone away.
Next stop tagged queuing and target mode.
(SCSI control block) instead of having the host PIO it down. Also
reimplement WDTR and SDTR optimization to remove code in the sequencer
and place the responsibility of knowing when to initiate SDTR or WDTR
on the kernel driver. This vastly shortens the sequencer program yet
yeilds the same performance.
sense retrieval code that messed up CDROM devices. This code will also
responde correctly to SDTR and WDTR messages from devices that start a
negotiation sequence.
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.
The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.
The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.
vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.
vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.
vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.
pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.
vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.
proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

You can now sling 14 devices off of a 274xT. In the process of adding
twin channel support, I removed all evident restrictions on supporting
Wide channeled devices, but I do not have a Wide controller to test them
on.
aic7770_seq.h, the pre-compiled header, is no longer needed since config
handles this dependancy.
timestamps for an atomic operation such as rename() on a local file
system to be identical.
Uniformize yet another idempotency ifdef. The comment nesting was
bogus.
make the sequencer code fully compatible with the aic7870 (ie 294x adaptors).
I've also added to my local mods putting the sequencer into "FASTMODE" clock.
This gives upwards of 2M/sec write preformance improvement in some scenarios.
There haven't been any reports of this causing problems, and I have been
reaping the benifits of it for more than a week now.
This also includes a new version of the pre-generated file <ugh>

a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the
GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested
before release.
Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting
aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards). It does not support Wide
controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in
progress on getting both channels and running.
I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give
us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver. These patches have
been submitted to the author.

put_fs_word() to fuword() and suword(). Linux words are 16 bits
but BSD words are 32-bits, at least on vax's. Writing a too-large
