CPU_CONFIGURE(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual CPU_CONFIGURE(9)NAME
cpu_configure -- machine-dependent device autoconfiguration
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/systm.h>
void
cpu_configure(void);
DESCRIPTION
The machine-dependent cpu_configure() is called during system bootstrap to perform the machine-dependent portion of device autoconfiguration.
It sets the configuration machinery in motion by finding the root bus (``mainbus''). When this function returns, interrupts must be enabled.
The following tasks are performed by cpu_configure():
o initialize soft interrupts (see softintr(9));
o initialize CPU interrupts and SPLs (see spl(9));
o call config_rootfound() for ``mainbus''; and
o complete any initialization deferred from cpu_startup(9).

spl - General: Sets the processor priority to mask different levels of interrupts
SYNOPSIS
#include <machine/cpu.h>
int getspl(
void ); int splbio(
void ); int splclock(
void ); int spldevhigh(
void ); int splextreme(
void ); int splhigh(
void ); int splimp(
void ); int splnet(
void ); int splnone(
void ); int splsched(
void ); int splsoftclock(
void ); int spltty(
void ); int splvm(
void ); int splx(
int x );
ARGUMENTS
Specifies a CPU priority level. This level must be a value returned by a previous call to one of the spl routines.
DESCRIPTION
The operating system supports the naming of spl routines to indicate the associated device types. Named spl routines make it easier to
determine which routine you should use to set the priority level for a given device type. The following table summarizes the uses for the
different spl routines: Obtains the spl value. Masks all disk and tape controller interrupts. Masks all hardware clock interrupts. Masks
all device and software interrupts. Blocks against all but halt interrupts. Masks all interrupts except for realtime devices, machine
checks, and halt interrupts. Masks all LAN hardware interrupts. Masks all network software interrupts. Unmasks (enables) all interrupts.
Masks all scheduling interrupts (usually the hardware clock). Masks all software clock interrupts. Masks all tty (terminal device) inter-
rupts. Masks all virtual memory clock interrupts. Resets the CPU priority to the level specified by the argument.
NOTES
The binding of any spl routine with a specific CPU priority level is highly machine dependent. With the exceptions of the splhigh and
splnone routines, knowledge of the explicit bindings is not required to create new device drivers. You always use splhigh to mask (disable)
all interrupts and splnone to unmask (enable) all interrupts.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, each spl routine returns an integer value that represents the CPU priority level that existed before it was
changed by a call to the specified spl routine.
EXAMPLE
The following code fragment shows the use of spl routines as part of a disk strategy routine:
int s;
.
.
. s = splbio(); /* Mask (disable) all disk interrupts */
.
.
. [Code to deal with data that can be modified by the disk interrupt code]
.
.
. splx(s); /* Restore CPU priority to what it was */

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm
996 xxxxxxxxxxxxx
99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
