# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 222769 06-Jun-2011 marcel

Improve cpu_idle():
o cpu_idle_hook is expected to be called with interrupts
disabled and re-enables interrupts on return.
o sync with x86: don't idle when the CPU has runnable tasks
o have callers of ia64_call_pal_static() disable interrupts
and re-enable interrupts.
o add, but compile-out, support for idle mode. This will be
enabled at some later time, after proper testing.


# 219841 21-Mar-2011 marcel

Fix switching to physical mode as part of calling into EFI runtime
services or PAL procedures. The new implementation is based on
specific functions that are known to be called in certain scenarios
only. This in particular fixes the PAL call to obtain information
about translation registers. In general, the new implementation does
not bank on virtual addresses being direct-mapped and will work when
the kernel uses PBVM.

When new scenarios need to be supported, new functions are added if
the existing functions cannot be changed to handle the new scenario.
If a single generic implementation is possible, it will become clear
in due time.

While here, change bootinfo to a pointer type in anticipation of
future development.

# 110211 01-Feb-2003 marcel

Remove special casing for running in the simulator from the kernel
and instead add platform, firmware and EFI stubs to the loader.
The net effect of this change is that besides a special console and
disk driver, the kernel has no knowledge of the simulator. This has
the following advantages:
o Simulator support is much harder to break,
o It's easier to make use of more feature complete simulators.
This would only need a change in the simulator specific loader,
o Running SMP kernels within the simulator. Note that ski at this
time does not simulate IPIs, so there's no way to start APs.

The platform, firmware and EFI stubs describe the following hardware:
o 4 CPU Itanium,
o 128 MB RAM within the 4GB address space,
o 64 MB RAM above the 4GB address space.

NOTE: The stubs in the skiloader describe a machine that should in
parts be defined by the simulator. Things like processor interrupt
block and AP wakeup vector cannot be choosen at random because they
require interpretation by the simulator. Currently the simulator is
ignorant of this.

This change introduces an unofficial SSC call SSC_SAL_SET_VECTORS
which is ignored by the simulator.

Tested with: ski (version 0.943 for linux)


# 84120 29-Sep-2001 dfr

Add shims for calling PAL Code in physical mode.


# 83913 24-Sep-2001 dfr

Use b6 instead of b1 - b1 is supposed to be preserved and b6 is scratch.


# 83905 24-Sep-2001 dfr

We need different call stubs for static and stacked calling conventions.


# 66633 04-Oct-2000 dfr

Next round of fixes to the ia64 code. This includes simulated clock and
disk drivers along with a load of fixes to context switching, fork
handling and a load of other stuff I can't remember now. This takes us as
far as start_init() before it dies. I guess now I will have to finish off
the VM system and syscall handling :-).


# 66486 30-Sep-2000 dfr

Next round of ia64 work, including fixes to context switching,
implementing cpu_fork(), copy*str(), bcopy(), copy{in,out}(). With these
changes, my test kernel reaches the mountroot prompt.


# 66458 29-Sep-2000 dfr

This is the first snapshot of the FreeBSD/ia64 kernel. This kernel will
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more
needs to happen before this is actually functional but its nice to see
the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
