From owner-freebsd-mips Wed Nov 13 15:58:59 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-mips@freebsd.org Received: by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix, from userid 931) id F02A737B401; Wed, 13 Nov 2002 15:58:57 -0800 (PST) Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 15:58:57 -0800 From: Juli Mallett To: freebsd-mips@FreeBSD.org Subject: Current diffs, etc. Message-ID: <20021113155857.A92028@FreeBSD.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Organisation: The FreeBSD Project X-Alternate-Addresses: , , , , X-Towel: Yes X-LiveJournal: flata, jmallett X-Negacore: Yes Sender: owner-freebsd-mips@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG A bit more progress on the header stubbing and whatnot, and so I thought I'd post my current diffs, and a list of what headers are still unimplemented in the namespace (and whatever they need to implement in the area), especially as I've been getting more and more email from people interested in the status of the project. First off, here's the unimplemented headers expected by either MI code or the current MD set of headers: bus.h clock.h critical.h db_machdep.h elf.h exec.h kse.h limits.h md_var.h pcb.h pmap.h ptrace.h reg.h resource.h smp.h stdarg.h And the diffs can be found at (I'd been trying to mail them to the list, but it seems they get rejected, oops): http://people.freebsd.org/~jmallett/mips-branch.diff.gz Aside from the stuff in diffs, I'm playing more and more with the GDB simulator to find out what is possible and what is not possible in it, and have written a bit of code to abstract rom monitor IO stuff, and done PMON hacking, and whatnot. This doesn't much affect the FreeBSD stuff proper (except well the early boot code/sequence), but it's made me aware of the fact that it's not very possible to do much in the GDB simulator, in the way of FreeBSD proper. Even the open vector bombs out simulator-side (SIGBUS) making it impossible to even play with e.g. binary loading. Oh and since two or three people asked me about IRC, EFnet #freebsd-mips is a good enough place to catch me, especially to discuss this stuff. I suppose that'd be a good project discussion IRC channel. Thanks, juli. -- Juli Mallett OpenDarwin, Mono, FreeBSD Developer. ircd-hybrid Developer, EFnet addict. FreeBSD on MIPS-Anything on FreeBSD.
