<LI>Newcard is being integrated. |
| |
<LI>A longstanding bug in PCI bus assignments which effects larger |
| |
servers has been fixed. |
| |
<LI>The IP checksum code has been rewriten and most of it has been |
| |
moved to machine-independant sections. |
| |
<LI>A general machine-independant CPU synchronization and rendezvous |
| |
API has been implemented. Older hardwired IPIs are slowly being |
| |
moved to the new API. |
| |
<LI>A new 'SysTimer' API has been built which is both MP capable |
| |
and fine-grained. 8254 Timer 0 is now being used for fine-grained |
| |
timing, while Timer 2 is being used for timebase. Various |
| |
hardwired clock distribution code is being slowly moved to the |
| |
new API. hardclock and statclock have already been moved. |
| |
<LI>A long standing bug in the NTP synchronization code has been fixed. |
| |
NTPD should now lock much more quickly. |
| |
<LI>Clock interrupt distribution has been rewritten. Along with this, |
| |
IPI messaging now has the ability to pass an interrupt frame |
| |
pointer to the target function. Most of the old hardwired |
| |
clock distribution code has been ripped out. |
| |
<LI>nanosleep() is now a fine-grained sleep. After all, what's the |
| |
point of having a nanosleep() system call which is only capable |
| |
of tick granularity? |
