sson added a comment to D2535: New, experimental PMAP implementation for MIPS64.

I committed the pagemask enumeration/printing logic to -head a while ago. We should gather some dmesg's from various embedded MIPS boards.

IIRC, some of the mips24kc parts were only doing 4k pages.. :(

sson added a comment to D5623: Fix MIPS pmap_align_superpage() function to use superpage rather than segment alignment.

Yes, the superpage size should be 2M (PDRSIZE) for mips64. This looks correct. I am not sure it matters for mips32 given there is no superpage support for it yet. The way it is done for mips64 (see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2535 ) may not work for mips32 given the limited number of available PTE bits. Of course, the mips64 superpage implementation was designed to support multiple superpage sizes (more than just 2M) although only one superpage size is currently implemented. I imagine with mips32 only one superpage size would be supported.

sson abandoned D5171: Add e_flags information to ELF core files.

I will fix this in LLDB. Thanks Warner!

Also, the LLVM parser is wrong.

This is incorrect. These arch (at least the first two) are both 32-bit and 64-bit. You know what arch you are executing based on the e_ident[EI_CLASS} telling you 32 vs 64 bit.

32-bit mips FreeBSD binaries are MIPS-3. And that's correct. And LLVM doesn't grok that. So the LLVM parser also needs work.

I don't like this interface. The CPU specific eflags aren't a property of the CPU, but rather are a property of how the binary was compiled. These should be in the header for the binary being executed, which is completely ignored. On arm, there's at least two flavors we support executing today. On mips we support 3 different binary ABIs. And we wish to support more flavors of those ABIs (soft-float, hard-float, cheri) and you can't know based on the kernel which one of these you are running.

Simplify change by just acquiring exclusive lock and not trying to upgrade it.

sson added a comment to D494: Add shortcut support to binmiscctl.

I would "#if 0" the dead code for now (rather than adding a 'return 0') to avoid upsetting the compiler god. Other than that, it looks fine.
