Major lobotomy of config(8). The

config kernel mumble mumble

line has been obsoleted and removed and with it went all knowledge of
devices on the part of config.

You can still configure a root device (which is used if you give
the "-r" flag) but now with an option:

options ROOTDEVNAME=\"da0s2e\"

The string is parsed by the same code as at the "boot -a" prompt.

At the same time, make the "boot -a" prompt both more able and more
informative.

ALPHA/PC98 people: You will have to adapt a few simple changes
(defining rootdev and dumpdev somewhere else) before config works
for you again, sorry, but it's all in the name of progress.

This is most useful if you want to keep /kernel.old as a known bootable
kernel. If you test a new kernel and have to reboot for a fix, a
'make reinstall' will install the new kernel over the top of the old
non-viable one, leaving the old one untouched. This is mainly meant
for development, not general users.

Bump configvers; when the updates to generic/lint get committed, the old

Bring the 'new-bus' to the i386. This extensively changes the way the
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.

(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)

This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.

The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.

Made booting with -a work for all configurations. Previously it
only worked for configurations with "swap on generic".

usr.sbin/config/config.y:
- ignore all "swap [on] device ...' specifications except for
warning about them. They haven't done anything related to swap
for almost 4 years, and were previously silently ignored,
except for "swap on generic" which stopped swap${KERNEL}.c
from being generated. Code to support swapping is now deader
than before.

usr.sbin/config/mkswapconf.c:
- don't generate a dummy setconf() function in swap${KERNEL}.c.

sys/i386/conf/files.i386:
- swapgeneric.c is now standard. It should be merged into autoconf.c
so that it doesn't conflict with swap${KERNEL}.c for kernels named
"generic".

sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c:
- don't call setroot() for mfs roots. Since setroot() doesn't do anything
harmful, this was just a waste of time, except possibly for booting with
-a it may have helped prevent an undesireable call to setconf() by
finding a bogus rootdev.
- honor -a for ffs roots. -a now overrides all other ways of specifying
the root device. Previously, -r had precedence over -a, and the -a
handling was usually a no-op.
- don't honor -a for non-ffs roots, since it would currently just get in
the way of a clean panic.

sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c:
- don't declare things that are now always declared in swap${KERNEL}.c.
Don't decide things that are now decided in autoconf.c. Code to
support the "generic" case is now dead instead of useless.

Mostly remove the VM_STACK OPTION.
This changes the definitions of a few items so that structures are the
same whether or not the option itself is enabled. This allows
people to enable and disable the option without recompilng the world.

As the author says:

|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option. I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it. The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch. There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.

what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in. This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches. The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize). It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c. This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch. I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.
|
[..]
|
|Once the alpha code is adequately tested, we can pull VM_STACK out
|everywhere.

Force the order of the setdefs* so that make -jN doesn't build the
setdefs* multiple times at the same time that it's compiling setdefs[0].c.
I think this was leading to unterminated linker sets etc.

Hide the gensetdefs run the same way we hide the final ld command.

Use the gensetdefs that is now in /usr/bin, it's a superset of the
one in the kernel source, and that one is already used for modules.

I don't _think_ this will hurt releases, aout-to-elf, etc, but it is
possible. In all the cases I've looked at, config(8) has been
generated straight after a make world, so if /usr/sbin/config exists and
is the right version for the kernel, then we can pretty much count on
/usr/bin/gensetdefs being there too.

If there is no .depends file, use the standard ad-hoc way of ensuring
that the generated files are generated before any of the object files.
Also minor cleanup of dependencies in conf/files that I bogusly added
before.

This should fix the requirement that make depend be done starting from
a clean config directory. If you don't have a clean directory, make
depend is still required if you want the proper .o's to be recompiled.
