# 303975 11-Aug-2016 gjb

Copy stable/11@r303970 to releng/11.0 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE
cycle.

Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, and rename it to RC1.

Update __FreeBSD_version.

Use the quarterly branch for the default FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) repo and
the dvd1.iso packages population.

# 302408 08-Jul-2016 gjb

Copy head@r302406 to stable/11 as part of the 11.0-RELEASE cycle.
Prune svn:mergeinfo from the new branch, as nothing has been merged
here.

Additional commits post-branch will follow.

# 291937 07-Dec-2015 kib

Add support for usermode (vdso-like) gettimeofday(2) and
clock_gettime(2) on ARMv7 and ARMv8 systems which have architectural
generic timer hardware. It is similar how the RDTSC timer is used in
userspace on x86.

Fix a permission problem where generic timer access from EL0 (or
userspace on v7) was not properly initialized on APs.

For ARMv7, mark the stack non-executable. The shared page is added for
all arms (including ARMv8 64bit), and the signal trampoline code is
moved to the page.

# 288983 07-Oct-2015 kib

A follow-up to r288492. In fact, revert the mentioned commit for
pre-VFPv3 processors, since they do require software support code to
handle denormals. For VFPv3 and later, enable flush-to-zero if
hardware does not claim full denormals arithmetic support by VMVFR1_FZ
field in mvfr1 register.

The end result is that we do use correct fpu environment on Cortexes
with VFPv3, while ARM11 (e.g. rpi) is in non-compliant flush-to-zero
mode. At least CPUs without complete hardware implementation of
IEEE 754 do not cause unhandled floating point exception on underflow,
as it was before r288492.

# 262958 09-Mar-2014 ian

Remove all traces of support for ARM chips prior to the arm9 series. We
never actually ran on these chips (other than using SA1 support in an
emulator to do the early porting to FreeBSD long long ago). The clutter
and complexity of some of this code keeps getting in the way of other
maintenance, so it's time to go.


# 259640 20-Dec-2013 ganbold

Add identification and necessary type checks for Krait CPU cores. Krait CPU is used in
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and Snapdragon 400/600/800 SoCs and has architectural
similarities to ARM Cortex-A15. As for development boards IFC6400 series embedded
boards from Inforce Computing uses Snapdragon S4 Pro/APQ8064.

# 166063 17-Jan-2007 cognet

- Add bounce pages for arm, largely based on the i386 implementation.
- Add a default parent dma tag, similar to what has been done for sparc64.
- Before invalidating the dcache in POSTREAD, save the bits which are in the
same cachelines than our buffers, but not part of it, and restore them after
the invalidation.


# 150864 03-Oct-2005 cognet

Add a new API to let platform-specific ports provide functions for big
copy/zeroing.


# 135663 23-Sep-2004 cognet

Declare sigcode and szsigcode.


# 129198 14-May-2004 cognet

Import FreeBSD/arm kernel bits.
It only supports sa1110 (on simics) right now, but xscale support should come
soon.

Most of this comes from NetBSD.
