Changes in alpha http://nxr.netbsd.org/rss/src/sys/arch/alpha/ en Copyright 2005 Java s/criticial/critical/ in comment. Tue Aug 04 13:00:00 UTC 2026 andvar Now that bad144 handling is isolated to the places that care about it,<br/>garbage-collect it from all of the various machine-dependent files that<br/>have been cargo-culting it around needlessly for 20+ years.<br/><br/>Version bump to 11.99.7 because this changes the size of struct cpu_disklabel<br/>on some platforms, and that structure is exposed in the module ABI. Tue Jul 14 13:00:00 UTC 2026 thorpej Add bge (3X-DEGXA-T*) to the INSTALL configuration too.<br/>Requested by Janne Ramstedt. Thu Jun 18 07:00:00 UTC 2026 jdc fix typos in comments, mainly s/initilize/initialize/. Wed Jun 10 21:00:00 UTC 2026 andvar fix various typos in comments. Mon Jun 01 20:00:00 UTC 2026 andvar We don't need avail_start. Mon May 11 15:00:00 UTC 2026 thorpej Fix a longstanding bug on 64 bit ports with ABIs requiring sign-extension when returning 32-bit values in registers. Alpha, MIPS N64, RISCV.<br/><br/>With these ABIs it is necessary for the syscall return code to manually<br/>sign-extend all 32-bit return values. If we don't, everything may look<br/>just fine, until a syscall return value is spilled to the stack and then<br/>reloaded. At that point, the zero-extended form produced by C assignment<br/>into the 64-bit register for return to userspace will be sign-extended<br/>upon reload, producing a different, corrupt value which will fail comparisons.<br/>This was observed with a getuid() != geteuid() deep inside sshd on N64, on an<br/>unusual system that had some very large UIDs with bit 31 set - but is quite<br/>difficult to reproduce with small tests, since register pressure and compiler<br/>behavior determine whether the conditions necessary to trigger the bug will<br/>exist.<br/><br/>The easiest way to see whether a new target needs this treatment is to<br/>look at its GCC configuratrion; if its PROMOTE_MODE has UNSIGNEDP = 0<br/>for SImode, the sign-extension in syscall() is necessary. Sun May 10 23:00:00 UTC 2026 tls G/C obsolete SSIZE and SINCR constants. Sun May 10 16:00:00 UTC 2026 thorpej MAXBSIZE -> MAXPHYS in a comment about USRIOSIZE, because MAXPHYS is<br/>what matters when referring to phys_map. Thu Apr 30 13:00:00 UTC 2026 thorpej G/C the do-nothing module_init_md() now that there's a global weak<br/>equivalent. Wed Apr 08 04:00:00 UTC 2026 thorpej s/liner/linear/ in comment. Sat Apr 04 21:00:00 UTC 2026 andvar Fix alpha boot-time hang on unpatched QEMU by accommodating its broken mcclock. Sun Mar 29 00:00:00 UTC 2026 tls Define some device offsets relative to the GBUS base. Tue Mar 24 03:00:00 UTC 2026 thorpej add <sys/endian.h> for htole64 Fri Jan 09 16:00:00 UTC 2026 christos Trailing whitespace Sun Dec 21 07:00:00 UTC 2025 skrll alpha/elf_machdep.h: Organize symbols into local and ABI groups.<br/><br/>Permit this file to be used alongside <sys/elfdefinitions.h>.<br/><br/>PR lib/59564 Sat Nov 29 22:00:00 UTC 2025 jkoshy Remove unnecessary include of <sys/extent.h> Fri Nov 28 21:00:00 UTC 2025 thorpej Remove the advertising clause from Adam Glass's license.<br/><br/>Many thanks to Adam for agreeing to this. Fri Nov 28 14:00:00 UTC 2025 nia Use {,e}isabus_attach(). Sun Oct 19 20:00:00 UTC 2025 thorpej Use device_{get,set}prop_bool() for "is_console". Sat Oct 04 03:00:00 UTC 2025 thorpej
