[Ps2hacking-devel] CVS is available. need more hackers.

[Takahide H. <tak...@hi...>]

Hi folks, 

CVS is available at sourceforge now.

CVSROOT is cvs.ps2hacking.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ps2hacking,
and the repository is 'linux2.4'. 
The patch I announced last week is equal to current CVS tree.

The tree needs to be hacked more. as far as I know, there are 
following todos. 

please let me/us know if you are interested in working on some areas.


  o Ethernet is only ported device at present...
    framebuffer, (Xserver and DRM !?), IDE, USB, and more are 
    waiting for you B)

  o test and set device (drivers/char/tst_dev.c) is broken.

    It is my understanding that this hack will improve performance of
    applications that needs extensive use of atomic lock operations
    (multithread, databases etc) on inexpensive MIPSes without LL/SC
    instructions.

  o various PlayStation2 specific code needs being ported, redesign, 
    or/and removal...

  o I guess cache flushing operation can be optimized more.
      (arch/mips/mm/r5900.c)

  o need to adapt to the new architecture in the Linux/MIPS tree.
    for Linux/MIPS integration, we should use arch/mips/kernel/time.c,
    arch/mips/kernel/irq.c and so on instead of old codes for linux-2.2
    in arch/mips/ps2 

  o cleanup various macro and fix 128bit register support in assembler code
    and some header files. I will try this next month.

  o catch up to the Linux/MIPS secondary tree.

  o (... and more? please comment.) 


... and have fun!
