Stop calling HAL_MonitorLeadID as only IOMD implemented it - just guess VGA until the graphics driver says otherwise.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.159. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_159'

While the HAL and kernel were being split some temporary macros were used for the bits being worked on, after 12 years of use they're probably safe to adopt.
mjsCallHAL -> CallHAL; mjsAddressHAL -> AddressHAL; mjsHAL -> HAL.
OS_VIDCDividerSWI code now always does NoSuchSWI (had been switched out previously).
File vduhint.s no longer assembled (was empty).

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.140. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_140'

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.

  Tested with OMAP3, IOMD & Tungsten ROMs/softloads.


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

Improve heap manager. Add heap testbed. Add dummy implementation of some OS_ScreenMode reason codes.

Detail:
  s/HeapMan, hdr/KernelWS - Heap manager improvements:
    - Errors generated by interrupted heap operations that are forced to complete by a OS_Heap call from the background are now cached in kernel workspace until the foreground task is resumed. This prevents them from being potentially overwritten by MessageTrans running out of background error buffers.
    - Added new OS_Heap reason code, #7 - Get area aligned. This allows areas of memory to be allocated at specific (power-of-2) alignments, and optionally without crossing a given (power-of-2) boundary. Alignment & boundary calculations are performed using logical addresses.
    - Removed the limitation that all free and allocated blocks must be a multiple of 8 bytes in length. This change was required in order to allow OS_Heap 7 to function correctly. Now the only requirements are that blocks must be multiples of 4 bytes in length, at 4 byte alignment, with a minimum length of 8 bytes. 4 extra padding bytes may still be added to the end of allocations in order to avoid creating 4-byte free blocks.
  s/HeapMan, TestSrc/HeapTest/Makefile, TestSrc/HeapTest/c/testbed, TestSrc/HeapTest/s/asm - Added heap testbed program. Can either use the OS_Heap SWI or directly include a copy of the Kernel's heap manager sources.
  s/vdudecl, s/vduswis - Added dummy implementations of OS_ScreenMode 4, 5 and 6. This prevents the Wimp generating lots of "Unknown OS_ScreenMode reason code" errors when redrawing the screen.
  s/Arthur3, s/Oscli - Moved dotstring closer to where it's used to avoid "ADRL out of range" errors in Tungsten build
Admin:
  Tested in OMAP3 ROM & Tungsten ROM softload.
  Heap testbed successfully performed over 400 million heap ops, so there shouldn't be any serious bugs in the new code (touch wood)


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.128. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_128'

Export less in hdr:RISCOS.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.53. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_53'

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/AMBControl/allocate, s/AMBControl/growp, s/AMBControl/mapslot, s/AMBControl/memmap, s/AMBControl/service, s/AMBControl/shrinkp, s/Arthur2, s/Arthur3, s/ArthurSWIs, s/ChangeDyn, s/ExtraSWIs, s/HAL, s/HeapMan, s/Kernel, s/MemInfo, s/Middle, s/ModHand, s/MoreSWIs, s/MsgCode, s/NewIRQs, s/NewReset, s/Oscli, s/PMF/buffer, s/PMF/IIC, s/PMF/i2cutils, s/PMF/key, s/PMF/mouse, s/PMF/osbyte, s/PMF/oseven, s/PMF/osinit, s/PMF/osword, s/PMF/oswrch, s/SWINaming, s/Super1, s/SysComms, s/TickEvents, s/Utility, s/vdu/vdu23, s/vdu/vdudriver, s/vdu/vdugrafl, s/vdu/vdugrafv, s/vdu/vdupalxx, s/vdu/vdupointer, s/vdu/vduswis, s/vdu/vduwrch - Lots of updates to deal with zero page relocation
  - 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.
Admin:
  Tested with OMAP & Iyonix ROM softloads, both with high & low zero page.
  High zero page hasn't had extensive testing, but boot sequence + ROM apps seem to work.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.48. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_48'

Update VDU HAL device for new OMAPVideo driver, fix MVA-based cache/TLB maintenance ops aborting on ARMv7, add warning to VDU driver about inconsistent state variables during screen mode changes

Detail:
  hdr/VideoDevice - removed Address2 and Device2 fields as it makes more sense for them to be in the device specific field (which for OMAP3 is a pointer to an OMAP3-specific struct)
  s/VMSAv6 - Modify data abort handler to ignore aborts that are generated by MVA-based cache/TLB maintenance ops. Unlike earlier ARM architectures, MVA-based ops can abort under ARMv7 if the page has no mapping to a physical address.
  s/vdu/vdudriver - Add a warning about VDU driver state variables (particularly CursorAddr) being left in invalid states during the execution of mode changes. This can cause problems if any attempt is made to output to the screen during the mode change (e.g. as a result of an abort)
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard. Video device changes mean that OMAP3 HAL 0.23 will be needed for ROM compilation to succeed.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.24. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_24'

Detail:
  s.PMF.i2cutils line 454: this LDR of byte values was harmless (bits 8
    upwards are discarded later) but slower than an LDRB on ARMv6 or later.
  s.PMF.i2cutils line 556: should have loaded RTCFitted using LDRB. Looks
    like effect would have been to reduce utilisation of CMOS cache.
  s.vdu.vduswis line 1500: mistakenly accessing ExternalFramestore using LDR.
    I don't think the intention was to prevent the screen DA being resized
    while screen memory was claimed, but that was the effect.
  s.vdu.vduwrch line 3106: this LDR of a 1-byte variable was harmless (only
    used for testing bit 4) but slower than an LDRB on ARMv6 or later.
  CPU version is no longer specified in the makefile - it's better to inherit
  it from the build environment now that we actually set it appropriately.
Admin:
  Built and briefly tested.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.9. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_9'

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.
Admin:

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.7. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_7'

Detail:
  Having scanned the kernel source for unaligned load code fragments which
  would abort on ARMv6 and v7 and not having found any, I took the opportunity
  to give them build-time switches to use unaligned LDR((S)H)/STR(H)
  instructions if built for a new enough platform. Also added a couple of
  cases of LDRSB that will benefit v4 CPUs and a few instances of the v6
  SXTH instruction, but since objasm doesn't yet understand it (and when it
  does, not everyone will have upgraded) they are currently written as
  DCI statements.
  Most of the changes are to OS_Word handlers, which are notorious in that
  their input/output block is not word-aligned.
Admin:
  Not tested, but it should at least build.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.6. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_6'

Detail:
  s/ARMops - Fix IMB_Range_WB_CR7_Lx to clean the correct number of cache lines
  s/HAL - Change CP15 control register flags so unaligned loads are enabled on ARMv6 (to simplify support for ARMv7 where unaligned loads are always enabled, and to match the behaviour expected by the example code in Hdr:CPU.Arch)
  s/AMBControl/memmap - Make AMB_LazyFixUp use the correct L2PT protection flags depending on ARM600/VMSAv6 MMU model. Also guard against problems caused by future L2PT flag changes.
  s/vdu/vdugrafj - Fix previously undiscovered 32bit incompatability in GetSprite (OS_SpriteOp 14/16)

Turned off the module init/final service calls, since we still don't have an
allocation for them.
Upped the OS version number to 5.01.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.53. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_53'

  Lots of changes since last version, at least the following:
  * Updated OS timestamp, removed alpha status
  * Negative INKEY OS version changed to &AA
  * GraphicsV is now alocated vector number &2A
  * ROM moved up to &FC000000
  * Max application slot increased to 512 Mbytes (for now)
  * Max size of RMA increased to 256 Mbytes
  * RMA is now first-created dynamic area (so it gets lowest address after
    top of application slot)
  * OS_Memory 10 reimplemeted

    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'

Ursula. Quite a hairy code merge really, so let's hope it is
worth it to someone. What you get (back after 2 or 3 years):
- much more efficient for largish numbers of DAs (relevance
  to current build = approx 0)
- fancy reason codes to support fast update of
  Switcher bar display (relevance = 0)
- support for clamped maximum area sizes, to avoid address
  space exhaustion with big memory (relevance = 0)
- better implementation of shrinkable DAs, performance
  wise (if lots of DAs, relevance = approx 0)
- support for 'Sparse' DAs. Holey dynamic areas, Batman!
  (relevance, go on someone use the darned things)
Moderately development tested on HAL/32bit ARM9 desktop.
Note the Switcher should be compiled to use the new
reason codes 6&7, for fabled desktop builds.

Also, during this work, so I could see the wood for the
trees, redid some source code clean up, removing pre-Medusa
stuff (like I did about 3 years ago on Ursula, sigh). That's
why loads of source files have changed. The new DA stuff
is confined pretty much to hdr.KernelWS and s.ChangeDyn.
