remove superfluous reset of DR7 in mmurelease() pc, pc64: reset DR7 in mmurelease pc: add vmx device zynq: simplify initcode stack setup (just do it in init0 when the stack is mapped) devusb: fix wrong pollival calculation in setmaxpkt() devvmx: add support for SG_STICKY segments devvmx: add support for extrap command to configure halting on exceptions devvmx: error handling in clearmeminfo devvmx: fix CR0/CR4 readout; also don't exit on PAUSE instruction devvmx: remember segment names and free segments properly devvmx: support debug registers; simplify assembly devvmx: support pat and efer registers usbehci: fix crash in cancelisoio() for highspeed device due to wrong pollival usbohci, usbehci, usbxhci: save mmio base address in ctlr, cant PADDR() on 386... usbohci, usbuhci, usbehci: use physical address of registers for matching controllers and printing usbxhci: basic iso write support (usb soundcard playback) usbxhci: better approach to unstalling endpoint and fixup td ring usbxhci: commit work in progress xhci driver, no config yet usbxhci: experimental usb3 support usbxhci: handle changing maxpkt on control endpoint by reevaluating endpoint context usbxhci: implement command timeouts and aborts, serialize unstall usbxhci: implement controller handoff, ignore usb3.0 ports, honor pollival for isochronous endpoints usbxhci: provide shutdown function to halt the controller usbxhci: simplify xecp() usbxhci: use physical register addresses for matcing controllers and printing. simplify endpoint slot initialization. aux/vga: simplify vesa by adding rgbmask2chan() function nusb/usbd: create endpoint files for conf #1, usb3 preparation nusb/usbd: support for usb3 hubs LIBRARIES --------- libfis: fix inverted CHS bit libregexp: fix lexer so it doesnt move past the string when it gets a \ escape COMPILERS AND DEBUGGERS ----------------------- 8l, 6l: get .frame offset right undoing $-4 hack acid(1), proc(3): document watchpoints acid: add getfields() builtin acid: always create proclist variable acid: provide hooks 'procattach' and 'dying' acid: watchpoint support ktrace: handle amd64 stacktraces correctly PROGRAMS --------- add aux/icanhasvmx aux/cpuid: decode family and model bitfields auth/factotum: complete p9any v.2 server protocol, but don't enable it. hpost: delimit @filenames by newline so files with whitespace aren’t mangled hpost: fix field content mangling when newlines are present upas/fs: handle plumbing for new messages for concurrent index updates vmx: I/O string instructions, incomplete support for IDE disks, misc fixes vmx: add support for (so far) crude 9p debugging fs; add gdb stub; clean up linux gdt code vmx: clean up region handling code; changes to support amd64 vmx: don't zero all memory, don't abandon uart on eof, sleep before transmitting uart data vmx: fix '-v text' vmx: fix non-vesa framebuffer mode vmx: fix translateflat on 64-bit vmx: i8042: translation changes reported keyboard id vmx: linux kernel loading; PIT fixes to support linux; support VGA 0x3D4 word writes; support sending virtio ethernet packets to a file and prepending snoopy headers vmx: obsdfb: check if curmode is nil vmx: round up frame buffer size to whole pages, ignore vga access in linear framebuffer, tell openbsd about framebuffer vmx: support debug instructions vmx: VESA support and other misc I/O improvements vmx: complete cmos vmx: fix build on non-x86 architectures (switch vlong) vmx: fix pic 'specific eoi' bug, fix kbd bug, add fake IDE and floppy controller vmx: fix virtio bugs vmx: implement virtio reset vmx: improve PIT/keyboard support vmx: obsd: load kernel symbol table and allow setting root device vmx: openbsd support: parse more options vmx: remove debugging print vmx: slightly more vga support vmx: support EFER and PAT access vmx: support loading openbsd kernels xd: use new bio magic to make -u more efficient OTHER ----- /lib/{rob, rsc, theo}: Yup. remove /sys/lib/##redacted##.##redacted## (thanks ##redacted##) DOCUMENTATION ------------- authsrv(6): don't say old p9any isnt in use anymore... pc(1) clarification print(2): clean up vlong flag description rc(1): catch up with a change made long before 9front segment(3): document sticky segment type vmx(1), vmx(3): add vmx documentation ![back](http://9front.org/img/fullspeed.back.png)
