memory mapped PCI configuration space access mechanism

2012-05-14 Thread Sepherosa Ziehau
Hi all,

master users only.

The memory mapped PCI configuration space access mechanism is enabled
on the master now for x86_64:
926777f68f1249ebbd1561eecc6fa75576bd4e10

If you have any problem w/ it please let me know (especially w/ VMM);
it could be turned off by using tunable:
hw.pci.mcfg="0"

i386 is not affected.

Best Regards,
sephe

Hi all,

For master users that use "comconsole", please DO NOT upgrade your

Some commits between master and above commit could leave your
comconsole blank after upgrading.

We are working on a fix, hopefully it will be working again soon.

The comconsole is fixed.  Please feel free to upgrade; make sure to
use "make buildworld"

Please use commit 6b7d23fca80545bf9326d16e4ad4821ae39c7c46 as the 
minimum commit to jump to instead.


This addresses a possible broken world caused by a missing ncursesw 
(wide character) library.

Sigh, the SCI trigger/polarity testing probably does not work on your
box.  Using the value in the MADT does not work; forcefully setting
them to level/low does not work either, so we try testing the
trigger/polarity.

Here are the "last resort" tunables:
hw.acpi.sci.trigger="level"
hw.acpi.sci.polarity="high"

The possible values for these tunables are:
hw.acpi.sci.trigger, level or edge
hw.acpi.sci.polarity, high or low

It looks like "level/low" could freeze your box, so you don't need to
test that combination.
