NEW IN THIS RELEASE
debug watchpoints
multiboot framebuffer
usb3 support (xhci)
vmx(1), vmx(3)
KERNEL AND DRIVERS
kernel: add support for sticky segments (cached, preallocated, never paged)
kernel: fix bounds check in screenputc()
kernel: pass bootargs also in multiboot command line, retire the bootline mechanism to pass arguments to /boot/boot
pc kernel: mkfile target usbehcipc.$O needs ../port/usb.h, add usbxhci.$O
pc, pc64: adapt devvmx to ork on pc64
pc, pc64: enable usbxhci in the configuration
pc, pc64: support for multiboot framebuffer, common bootargs and multiboot code
pc, pc64: debugexc: ignore exception if in kernel mode and can’t get hold of up->debug
pc, pc64: keep shadow copy of DR7 in Mach and use that to check whether we need to reset DR7 in procsave(); 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
