253: Closed: Accepted unanimously as ammended 253: Amend: 253: Change first paragraph to: 253: "Memory that cannot be allocated for general purpose use, for 253: example physical memory on powerpc systems used for interrupt 253: vectors, shall not appear in the "available" property of the 253: memory node. Client Programs that need to use such memory for 253: its architected purpose must not claim that area prior to use". 253: Delete second paragraph.
254: Closed: Accepted unanimously as ammended. 254: Amended as follows: 254: Page 3, lines 28-31 - Remove 4 line note from PPC Binding Draft Document. 254: Insert a new Section 1.5; real mode rules. 254: Move old Section 1.5 to 1.6; Strike open firmware in title. 254: Place sentence in both sections(1.5 & 1.6): 254: "Claim methods shall not allocate more pages than are 254: necessary to satisfy the request".
255: Accepted: Ammended as follows (June 7' 95): 255: When a client executes set-callback, Open Firmware shall attempt to 255: invoke the "translate" callback. If the translate callback is 255: implemented, Open Firmware shall cease use of address translation 255: hardware, instead using the client callbacks for changes to address 255: translation. 255: 255: The exit service must continue to work after a set-callback that takes 255: over address translation. This implies that Open Firmware takes 255: responsibililty for address translation hardware upon exit and must 255: maintain internal information about translations that it requests of 255: the client. 255: 255: On page 6 of the PowerPC binding, strike line 29. On lines 34 and 35, 255: replace ":shall" with "that take control of the management of 255: address translation hardware and expect to be able to subsequently 255: invoke Open Firmware client services must [provide callbacks ...]" 255: 255: On page 9 of the PowerPC binding, change line 29 to read: 255: 255: The following standard property shall exist within the package to which 255: the "mmu" property of the /chosen package refers:

262: Accepted: at June 7,'95 meeting amended as follows 262: 1, 2, and 4 are now in Device Support Extensions; 3 is now in the 262: PReP binding. 262: 262: 1. For PC-101 keyboards, the abort sequence (see install-abort in the 262: IEEE 1275 glossary) shall be Ctrl-Brk. 262: 262: 2. The least significant bit corresponds to the primary (usually the 262: left-most) button of the device. 262: 262: 3.Mitch will take care of the first two subitems in his generic devices 262: document. For the third subitem, substitute the text below. 262: A device node representing the super I/O chip itself need not 262: exist. 262: Change language on p. 8 of PReP binding to "...devices attached 262: to the super I/O chip may be direct children of the bus node 262: representing the bus to which the super I/O chip is attached. 262: 4.

267: Accepted: June 7'95, Amended as follows: 267: "system-id" 267: 267: Standard property, encoded as with encode-string, that contains 267: the identification of the computer system. This string shall be 267: unique across all systems and all manufacturers. If the system-id 267: begins with "0", it shall be of the form "0nnnnnnmmmmmm" where nnnnnn 267: is a sequence of 6 uppercase hexadecimal digits representing a 24-bit 267: Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) assigned by the IEEE 267: Registration Authority Committee, and mmmmmm is a sequence of 6 267: uppercase hexadecimal digits representing a 24-bit binary number 267: assigned by the manufacturer to assure uniqueness. 267: 267: Note: For systems with built-in ethernet or other IEEE 802-style 267: interfaces, the 6-byte MAC address assigned to that interface meets the 267: requirements and should be used as the system-id.
276: Closed: Accepted as ammended. 276: Ammend new bullet: 276: A client program shall not directly manipulate any 276: address translation hardware before it either a) ceases to 276: invoke OF client services or b) issues a set-callback to 276: install the "translate" callback. 276: 276: Note: 276: The intended sequence is that a client program will first issue a 276: set-callbak and then take control of address translation hardware. 276: Address translation hardware includes BAT registers, page table, 276: Segment Registers, MSR and the Interrupt vectors relating to 276: translation faults.
277: Closed: Ammended and Accepted unanimously. 277: Ammended as follows: 277: This property, if present, indicates that the PowerPC microprocessor 277: defined by this CPU node is a 64-bit implementation of the PowerPC 277: Architecture. The absence of this property indicates that the 277: micropresssor defined by this CPU node is a 32 bit implementation 277: of the PowerPC Architecture.

317:0 Closed: Accepted with amendments 317:1 Amendments: 317:2 Page 10, line 3: Replace entire paragraph: 317:3 "If the client program has specific requirements for physical 317:4 memory or address space usage, it may establish requirements 317:5 for OF's physical and/or virtual address space usage by means 317:6 of its program header. When OF loads the client program, it 317:7 inspects the program header, and if its current usage of 317:8 physical memory or virtual address space conflicts with that 317:9 specified in the program header, OF shall set the real-base, 317:0 real-size, virt-base, and virt-size to the configuration 317:1 variables as specified in the header and restart itself. 317:2 real-base, virt-base, real-size and virt-size may be specified 317:3 as -1, in which case the firmware is permitted to choose 317:4 appropriate values for the variables specified as -1." 317:5 Page 10, line 7: Replace paragraph beginning at line 7: 317:6 "If the values of the real-size and/or virt-size config vars do 317:7 not provide sufficient memory and/or virtual address space for 317:8 the firmware's own use, then the firmware shall not attempt to 317:9 load a client program and the condition should be reported to 317:0 the user. The possibility of not being able to comply with 317:1 limitiations on firmware's size should be tested as the 317:2 firmware is coming up in order to handle the possibility that 317:3 a user established an unworkable limitation on the size." 317:4 317:5 Add "Clients can minimize this exposure by setting the size to 317:6 -1 and allowing Open Firmware to choose the size." 317:7 Page 11, lines 24-27: Client programs are not required to assume 317:8 responsibility for physical memory management. Put at beginning 317:9 of paragraph. State in both pos and neg context. 317:0 Page 18: split Table 1 into sections: real-mode and virt-mode; 317:1 change "preserved by client interface" to "client interface shall 317:2 preserve"; add definition for preserved - same value when returing; 317:3 indicate that the msr, segment registers & sprg registers shall 317:4 not be modified by the client interface in virtual mode; indicate 317:5 that the msr, segment registers & sprg registers shall be preserved 317:6 by the client interface in real mode; remove '%' signs in this 317:7 section. 317:8 Page 19, Table 2: Change "Others" to "Other user mode registers". 317:9 Page 19, lines 8-15: replace the 3rd and 4th sentences with the def. 317:0 of load-base. Add the proposed sentence to the end of the paragraph. 317:1 Page 20, line 40: After the first sentence add: 317:2 "The I cache shall be consistent with the D cache for all 317:3 memory areas occupied by the client program." 317:4 Page 20, after line 43: Add: 317:5 "All processors in a SMP system shall have the same 317:6 consistent view of all memory areas (for data references). 317:7 No more than one processor shall have a modified copy of 317:8 the same data area in its cache when the client program 317:9 is called. 317:0 Note: If firmware makes cachable M=0 data references from 317:1 different processors on a SMP system, it may have to 317:2 perform additional cache management to meet this 317:3 requirement." 317:4 Page 22, line 30: Segment Register's sentence, don't add. 317:5 Page 22, lines 52-54: Move lines to behind line 12. 317:6 317:7 Moved to make changes as amended above and update binding to 317:8 Revision 1.10 DRAFT.
