Re: Re: netbsd-5.1 cpu probe/attach for 11/7xx?
First question is what config file you use to build your kernel?
I used both "GENERIC" and a stripped down 7xx only config I made.
You are right, the GENERIC does have "cpu* at mainbus0"; that was my
mistake - I didn't originally have it my custom config.
But, even if that is there, the match in cpu_mainbus_attach will fail.
Second: How do you know that they are not called?
I added printf and booted the kernel.
However, I've run NetBSD-current about 5 months ago on a 8650, and the
ka86_attach_cpu() function was called there, which is absolutely
through the same mechanism as for the 11/780.
So I find it a bit surprising that you claim that it is not called.
I think the ka86 follows a different path because of NMI.
In fact, I can't even find any cpu probe function for the VAX-11/780.
semantics, sorry. I would claim the "cpu_attach_cpu" function is a
probe function.
I'm still not convinced it isn't working.
ok. I have special versions of simh which claim to be an 11/730, and
11/750 and an 11/780 and when I put
printf's in the "cpu_attach_cpu" functions for each they don't print.
after I fix the match function, they do.
