Detail:
  With this set of changes, each AMB node is now the owner of a fake DANode which is linked to a PMP.
  From a user's perspective the behaviour of AMBControl is the same as before, but rewriting it to use PMPs internally offers the following (potential) benefits:
  * Reduction in the amount of code which messes with the CAM & page tables, simplifying future work/maintenance. Some of the AMB ops (grow, shrink) now just call through to OS_ChangeDynamicArea. However all of the old AMB routines were well-optimised, so to avoid a big performance hit for common operations not all of them have been removed (e.g. mapslot / mapsome). Maybe one day these optimal routines will be made available for use by regular PMP DAs.
  * Removal of the slow Service_MemoryMoved / Service_PagesSafe handlers that had to do page list fixup after the core kernel had reclaimed/moved pages. Since everything is a PMP, the kernel will now deal with this on behalf of AMB.
  * Removal of a couple of other slow code paths (e.g. Do_AMB_MakeUnsparse calls from OS_ChangeDynamicArea)
  * Potential for more flexible mapping of application space in future, e.g. sparse allocation of memory to the wimp slot
  * Simpler transition to an ASID-based task swapping scheme on ARMv6+?
  Other changes of note:
  * AMB_LazyMapIn switch has been fixed up to work correctly (i.e. turning it off now disables lazy task swapping and all associated code instead of producing a build error)
  * The DANode for the current app should be accessed via the GetAppSpaceDANode macro. This will either return the current AMB DANode, or AppSpaceDANode (if e.g. pre-Wimp). However be aware that AppSpaceDANode retains the legacy behaviour of having a base + size relative to &0, while the AMB DANodes (identifiable via the PMP flag) are sane and have their base + size relative to &8000.
  * Mostly-useless DebugAborts switch removed
  * AMBPhysBin (page number -> phys addr lookup table) removed. Didn't seem to give any tangible performance benefit, and was imposing hidden restrictions on memory usage (all phys RAM fragments in PhysRamTable must be multiple of 512k). And if it really was a good optimisation, surely it should have been applied to all areas of the kernel, not just AMB!
  Other potential future improvements:
  * Turn the fake DANodes into real dynamic areas, reducing the amount of special code needed in some places, but allow the DAs to be hidden from OS_DynamicArea 3 so that apps/users won't get too confused
  * Add a generic abort trapping system to PMPs/DAs (lazy task swapping abort handler is still a special case)

Version 5.66. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_66'

hdr/AHCIDevice:
  Remove this, since it clashes with the (differing API version number) copy exported by SATADriver. Post merging the Kernel back to the trunk the newer file datestamp has meant the wrong one gets exported during any ROM build which includes both components. Since the Kernel doesn't need AHCIDevice itself, it is left to the respective client (SATADriver or AHCIDriver in this case) to export them.
hdr/ModHand:
  Resolve the longstanding clash of Module_Title with the same named symbol that CMHG uses. There are very few assembler needing to look at the module header (Kernel, FileCore, Debugger, Podule) directly, but every C module which uses CMHG and wants one of the ModHandReason values ends up with a duplicate define.
  Obsolete Arthur era Module_LoadAddr value.
ArthurSWIs.s/MoreComms.s/NewReset.s/SWINaming.s/SysComms.s/Utility.s:
  Module_Title->Module_TitleStr.

Version 5.49. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_49'

Detail:
  s/Kernel - Add macro for CLREX, which uses a dummy STREX on basic ARMv6 machines. Clear the exclusive monitor after issuing transient callbacks, to cope with callbacks being triggered on exit from IRQ
  s/ArthurSWIs, s/HAL, s/NewIRQs - Clear the exclusive monitor on exit from IRQ handlers & default FIQ handler
  s/VMSAv6 - Clear the exclusive monitor on entry to the data abort pre-veneer
Admin:
  Tested on Raspberry Pi
  Non-transient callback handlers, custom abort handlers, FIQ handlers, and anything else which returns directly to interrupted user code is responsible for issuing its own CLREX if the code has done something that could have left the local monitor in the exclusive state (e.g. calling a SWI counts towards this, as there's no guarantee the monitor will be open on exit from the SWI)


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.327. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_327'

Detail:
  Resources/UK/Messages, hdr/KernelWS, s/Kernel - On return from a SWI with V set, do some basic validity checks on the error pointer in order to try and catch buggy SWIs that return bad pointers or invalid error blocks. If a bad pointer is found we'll substitute it with a pointer to a different error block, which has the SWI number in the error message, to allow the user to identify the source of the problem. (There's also a chance we'll crash when investigating a bad pointer, but crashing here in the kernel is preferable to crashing elsewhere because R12 should still contain the SWI number)
  hdr/OSMisc - Define SeriousErrorV reason codes and extended ROM footer entry IDs
  hdr/Options - Remove HangWatch integration flag, obsolete now that SeriousErrorV is available
  s/ArthurSWIs - Keep defaultvectab up to date with vector allocations
  s/Middle - Update serious error handling to call SeriousErrorV at several key points. This allows for accurate crash dumps to be obtained, along with a mechanism to warn low-level components such as RTSupport that the privileged mode stacks are being flattened.
  s/Middle - Add OS_ReadSysInfo 15, for enumerating extended ROM footer entries
  s/PMF/osbyte - Update InitNewFX0Error to use the ROM footer entry ID defined in hdr/OSMisc

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.313. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_313'

Add OS_Memory 24 implementation. Change OS_ValidateAddress to use it. Fix kernel leaving the physical access MB in a messy state. Try and protect against infinite abort loops caused by bad environment handlers.

Detail:
  s/MemInfo - Added an implementation of ROL's OS_Memory 24 call. Unlike the old OS_ValidateAddress call, this call should successfully report the presence of all memory areas known to the kernel. It should also correctly indicate which parts of a sparse DA are mapped in, unlike the old OS_ValidateAddress implementation.
  s/ChangeDyn - Update dynamic area handling to construct a lookup table for mapping logical addresses to dynamic areas; this is used by OS_Memory 24 to quickly locate which DA(s) hit a given region
  s/AMBControl/main - Make sure lazy task swapping is marked as disabled when AMB_LazyMapIn is {FALSE} - required so that OS_Memory 24 will give application space the correct flags
  s/ArthurSWIs - Switch OS_ValidateAddress over to using OS_Memory 24, as per ROL. For compatibili...

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.204. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_204'

Detail:
  This set of changes:
  * Adds basic support for multiple GraphicsV drivers, by way of some new OS_ScreenMode reason codes for registering/deregistering, selecting and enumerating drivers (11, 64-68)
  * Tidies up handling of HAL video calls so that the HAL calls will be transformed into a bona fide GraphicsV driver if they're implemented
  * Changes handling of 16bpp gamma table entries so that they're sent to GraphicsV in a generic form instead of in a VIDC-specific form
  * Adds a new GraphicsV call and defines new VIDC list items to allow GraphicsV drivers to utilise the new pixel formats
  File changes:
  * h/VIDCList, hdr/VIDCList, Makefile - Add new header export containing VIDC list type 3 definitions, to avoid repeated definitions in other components
  * Resources/UK/Messages - Add new GraphicsV/OS_ScreenMode error strings and some missing processor type strings
  * hdr/KernelWS - Clean up some pre-GraphicsV definitions, and add new workspace locations for storing the current GraphicsV driver number and the driver list
  * hdr/Options - Remove obsolete InverseTextTransparency option
  * hdr/VduExt - Add VDU variable 192 for storing GraphicsV driver number (same as ROL's VideoV driver number). Remove old 'Flag_*' mode flag definitions (use new 'ModeFlag_*' defintions instead). Add new OS_ScreenMode reason codes.
  * s/ARM600, s/VMSAv6, s/vdu/vdu23, s/vdu/vdugrafa, s/vdu/vdugrafd, s/vdu/vdupalxx, s/vdu/vdupointer, s/vdu/vduwrch - Strip out pre-GraphicsV code. Update GraphicsV code to use correct driver number.
  * s/ArthurSWIs - Pass the default GraphicsV claimant the VduDriverWorkSpace instead of ZeroPage
  * s/Getall - Add Hdr:VIDCList and s/vdu/VduGrafHAL to list of GETs
  * s/NewIRQs - Remove HAL VSync IRQ initialisation, is now handled by grafvhal. Remove old HAL VsyncIRQ entry point, all VSyncs are now handled by VsyncIRQ_ExtEntry.
  * s/PMF/osbyte - Stop OS_Byte 19 waiting forever if no video driver is active
  * s/PMF/osinit - Remove HAL VSync IRQ initialisation, is now handled by grafvhal
  * s/vdu/vducursoft - Use new workspace variable names and flag names
  * s/vdu/vdudecl - Remove old HALDAG_* definitions, GVDAG_* definitions are used instead. Add definition of the per-driver workspace structure and flags.
  * s/vdu/vdudriver - Remove pre-GraphicsV code. Update InitialiseMode to check for and initialise a HAL driver. Use cached driver features word in a few places instead of calling GraphicsV each time. Update PalIndexTable to disable VIDC mangling of 16bpp gamma tables.
  * s/vdu/vdugrafv, s/vdu/vdugrafhal - HAL<->GraphicsV code split off into its own file (vdugrafhal). Default GraphicsV claimant now only deals with VSync events for the active driver.
  * s/vdu/vdumodes - Get rid of old VIDC List type 3 definiton; now in hdr/VIDCList
  * s/vdu/vduswis - Added OS_ScreenMode reason codes 11 and 64-68 for registering, deregistering, selecting and enumerating GraphicsV drivers. Update mode set code to not bother checking if the driver supports the pixel format; instead we assume that the driver's vet mode call will do the check for us.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.203. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_203'

SystemName, ROMSizeOffset, HAL32, HAL26 only used here, moved here.
Remove uses of "M_" booleans, apparently that's bad form.
Fix SWIDespatch_Size for the non thumb capable case (was ASSERTing).
Swapped UserMemStart for AppSpaceStart.
Removed last use of OldComboSupport (pre Medusa!).
Removed switch 'CDVPoduleIRQs', a correction to the machine definitions mean this can now simply be switched on NumberOfPodules (previously, IOMD couldn't chain podule interrupts).
Take out disabled sub interrupt support - it's in CVS if you want to try to get it working.
Moved ConfiguredLang to 11 for everyone, it only matters if !Boot fails, and no harm in making it common for 5.xx onwards.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.183. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_183'

Variously the call to TranslateError was either followed (outside the switch) by an unnecessary SETV, or missing SETV for the non international case.
Added DMA controller HAL device for IOMD.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.174. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_174'

Detail:
  s/ChangeDyn:
    - Apply various optimisations to OS_ChangeDynamicArea to reduce the execution time when performing large grows/shrinks.
    - Optimisations can be toggled on/off with FastCDA_* flags for debugging.
    - On a 1GHz 512MB BB-xM, the initial *FreePool call now takes 0.15s instead of 13.46s. On a 512MB Iyonix the time has dropped from 1.18s to 0.23s.
    - Growing screen memory (on BB-xM) has also seen significant gains - between 2x and 4x speedup, depending on what state the source pages are in.
    - Added/updated documentation for a few functions and made more use of ROUTs for safety
  s/ARM600, s/VMSAv6:
    - Update BangCamUpdate, etc. to add support for the PageFlags_Unsafe flag that OS_ChangeDynamicArea uses to bypass cache/TLB maintenance in some situations
    - Avoid BangCamUpdate calling BangL2PT to map out the page if the page isn't mapped in (avoids unnecessary cache/TLB flush)
  s/ArthurSWIs:
    - Add extra ASSERT for safety
  s/AMBcontrol/memory
    - Fix incorrect assumption that the usable size of a heap block is always 8 less than the value stored in the header. Even with the old 8 byte aligned allocations the usable size will always be 4 bytes less than the value in the header. This code would have resulted in some slight memory wasteage, as AMBcontrol will have always tried growing the block four bytes bigger than needed.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.146. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_146'

Detail:
  hdr/OSEntries, s/HAL, s/Kernel - Add compressed ROM support.
  With the current scheme, a compressed ROM will have everything except the HAL and kernel compressed.
  During the keyboard scan period the kernel will allocate some temporary decompression workspace and call the decompression stub that was appended to the ROM.
  The decompression stub is expected to perform in-place decompression of the ROM. Once decompression is complete the workspace will be freed and the page tables updated to make the ROM image readonly.
  It's the HAL's responsibility to make sure any compressed ROM is located in an area of physically contiguous RAM large enough to hold the uncompressed image.
  More info here: http://www.riscosopen.org/wiki/documentation/show/Compressed%20ROMs
  Makefile, h/OSEntries - Add C export of hdr/OSEntries
  hdr/HALDevice - Add device ID for Tungsten video device. Convert tabs to spaces for consistency.
  hdr/HALEntries, s/NewReset - Moved KbdFlag_* definitions to hdr/HALEntries so HALs can use them in their keyboard scan code
  s/ArthurSWIs, S/HAL, s/HeapSort, s/Kernel, s/MemInfo, s/Middle, s/NewIRQs, s/TickEvents, s/vdu/vdugrafb - Make use of BLX, BFI and long multiplies if the CPU supports them. Don't support SWI calls from thumb mode if the CPU doesn't support thumb.
  s/HAL - Made the LDMIA in Init_MapInRAM more sensible (register order was backwards). The old code did work, but wasn't doing what the comments described. Removed unused/unfinished HAL_Write0 function. Improve RISCOS_LogToPhys to check L1PT for any section mappings if the logical_to_physical call fails
  s/ModHand - Save one instruction by using ADR instead of MOV+ADD to compute lr
  s/NewReset, s/PMF/key - Pass L1PT to HAL_Reset to allow machines without hardware reset (e.g. IOMD) to perform resets by manually disabling the MMU and restarting the ROM
  s/vdu/vdudriver, s/vdu/vdugrafv - Use GVEntry macro borrowed from NVidia module for setting up the GraphicsV jump table. Make GraphicsV_ReadPaletteEntry call HAL_Video_ReadPaletteEntry if left unclaimed. Fixup GV_Render to only call HAL_Video_Render if the HAL call is implemented.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.138. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_138'

Detail:
  s/HeapMan - The code to check if it's safe to shrink a block by 4 bytes assumed 'addr' was the address of the block, when in reality it's just an offset. This was causing the "OK to shrink?" check to always ignore the shrink request on heaps located below the 2G limit, but fail with "heap corrupt" errors in heaps located above the 2G limit.
  s/ArthurSWIs - Fix stack imbalance causing a crash if OS_Heap returns an unexpected error in DoSysHeapOpWithExtension/ClaimSysHeapNode
Admin:
  Tested in Iyonix ROM softload
  Testbed didn't pick up heap shrink bug due to the sanity checks it performs not being vigorous enough.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.130. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_130'

Expand tabs.
Swap DCI for instructions now Objasm 4 is out.
Symbols for FSControl_CAT/RUN/OPT changed to non Arthur definitions.
Still boots on IOMD class, no other testing.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.124. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_124'

Detail:
  A whole mass of changes to add high processor vectors + zero page relocation support to the Cortex branch of the kernel
  At the moment the code can only cope with two ZeroPage locations, &0 and &FFFF0000. But with a bit more tweaking those restrictions can probably be lifted, allowing ZeroPage to be hidden at almost any address (assuming it's fixed at compile time). If I've done my job right, these restrictions should all be enforced by asserts.
  There's a new option, HiProcVecs, in hdr/Options to control whether high processor vectors are used. When enabling it and building a ROM, remember:
  * FPEmulator needs to be built with the FPEAnchor=High option specified in the components file (not FPEAnchorType=High as my FPEmulator commit comments suggested)
  * ShareFS needs unplugging/removing since it can't cope with it yet
  * Iyonix users will need to use the latest ROOL boot sequence, to ensure the softloaded modules are compatible (OMAP, etc. don't really softload much so they're OK with older sequences)
  * However VProtect also needs patching to fix a nasty bug there - http://www.riscosopen.org/tracker/tickets/294
  The only other notable thing I can think of is that the ProcessTransfer code in s/ARM600 & s/VMSAv6 is disabled if high processor vectors are in use (it's fairly safe to say that code is obsolete in HAL builds anyway?)
  Fun challenge for my successor: Try setting ZeroPage to &FFFF00FF (or similar) so its value can be loaded with MVN instead of LDR. Then use positive/negative address offsets to access the contents.
  File changes:
  - hdr/ARMops - Modified ARMop macro to take the ZeroPage pointer as a parameter instead of 'zero'
  - hdr/Copro15ops - Corrected $quick handling in myISB macro
  - hdr/Options - Added ideal setting for us to use for HiProcVecs

  - s/ARM600 - UseProcessTransfer option. Zero page relocation support. Deleted pre-HAL ClearPhysRAM code to tidy the file up a bit.
  - s/ARMops - Zero page relocation support. Set CPUFlag_HiProcVecs when high vectors are in use.
  - s/KbdResPC - Disable compilation of dead code
  - s/VMSAv6 - UseProcessTransfer option. Zero page relocation support.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.120. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_120'

Detail:
 * Stopped calling the broken abort fixup code when running under VMSAv6.
   Might be desirable to update it, possibly farmed out to a separate module -
   still need to think about this.
 * Unaligned load optimisations can now be disabled by the global NoUnaligned
   flag for testing purposes.
 * Extended OS_ReadUnsigned to permit reading of 64-bit unsigned integers.
   See Docs.ReadUnsigned for more details. Also sped it up by using MLA
   (or UMLAL) for most digits rather than repeated addition.
 * Bugfix is OS_GSRead: an uninitialised r0 was being passed to
   OS_ReadUnsigned, causing undesirable effects on rare occasions.

  * Disabled LED flashing in page mode (liable to crash)
  * Masked sprite plot and VDU 5 text avoids reading the screen if possible
  * Framestore made USR mode accessible
  * Fix for VDU 5,127 bug - now relies on font definitions being in extreme
    quarters of memory, rather than bottom half
  * Allocated 64-bit OS_Convert... SWIs
  * IIC errors use allocated error numbers
  * Looks for Dallas RTC before Philips RTC because we're using a Philips
    NVRAM device with the same ID
  * Fix to bug that meant the oscillator in the Dallas RTC wasn't enabled
  * Default mouse type (USB) changed to allocated number
  * Ram disc max size increased to 128 Mbytes (Ursula merge) and made
    cacheable for StrongARMs (not XScale)
  * Branch through zero handler now works in USR mode, by use of a
    trampoline in the system stack to allow PC-relative register storage
  * Address exception handler changed to not use 0 as workspace
  * OS_Memory 13 extended to allow specification of cacheability and access
    privileges
  * Added OS_Memory 16 to return important memory addresses
  * RISCOS_MapInIO() takes cacheable flag in bit 3, access permissions in
    bits 10 and 11, doubly-mapped flag in bit 20, and access permissions
    specified flag in bit 21
  * Bug fix in last version for application abort handlers didn't quite
    work; register shuffle required
  * "Module is not 32-bit compatible" error now reports the module name
  * Default configured language changed from 10 to 11 (now Desktop again)

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.48. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_48'

* Allows HAL-driven software resets.
* Sound buffers corrected to be uncacheable.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.33. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_33'

* Kernel puts sensible default FIQ handler in through the HAL.
* Fix to temporary page uncaching code.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.30. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_30'

More stuff. Up to the desktop now; cache on, working keyboard. Some source restructuring to start to make splitting it up into several object files more feasible.

* Added ARM_IMB and ARM_IMBRange SWIs as recommended by ARMv5.
* Some early prototype HAL bits popped in - a lot of source restructuring still
  to come.
* New debug target creates an AIF image with debug information, and translates
  this into an ASCII object file for the 16702B logic analyser.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.1. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_1'

Detail:
	It is often the case that modules fail on receipt of a PostInit
cervice call. The Kernel already has an option to display debugging on module
initialisation (DebugROMInit), but this does not help if a module crashes
during the PostInit stage.
	To aid debugging of the PostInit stage of module initialisation, a
new flag (DebugROMPostInit) has been added to the vanilla service call
handler. This flag displays the name of each module that the PostInit is
being dispatched to, and then displays whether control has passed back to the
kernel. Hence crashes of a module during PostInit can be detected.

Admin:
	Note that this debug option only works in the vanilla service call
handler. If your build uses the chocolate handler and you wish to debug
PostInit of modules, then set it temporarilly to use vanilla handlers.
	Tested in Lazarus builds both with and without the option switched.

Version 5.26. Not tagged

Had one of those weekend brainstorms - managed to speed up SWI despatcher _and_ add Thumb support to it.

Fixed OS_BreakPt - was confused by PC/PSR split.

Version 5.24. Not tagged

Details:
  The Kernel will now compile to produce a pure 32-bit system if No26bitCode is
  set to TRUE.
  If No26bitCode is FALSE, then the Kernel will be a standard 26-bit Kernel,
  although some internal changes have taken place to minimise compile
  switches between the two cases. See Docs.32bit for more technical info.

  The hardest part was the flood-fill...

Other changes:
  Pointer shape changes now take place on the next VSync, rather than actually
  WAITING for the VSync. Turning the Hourglass on shouldn't slow your machine
  down by 5% now :)

  Lots of really crusty pre-IOMD code removed.

Admin:
  Tested in 32 and 26-bit forms in a limited desktop build. Basically, this
  will need to see a lot of use to iron out difficulties. I'd like anyone who
  has a non-frozen project to at least attempt using this Kernel.

Version 5.23. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_23'

Version 4.93. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_93'

Version 4.83. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_83'

* Integrated Ursula fast service call dispatch code.
* Added Interruptible32bitModes from Ursula.
* Stopped allowing ROM modules (other than the Kernel/UtilityModule) to write
  to the hardware vectors in 26-bit mode.
