VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE specifies which fraction of the available physical
memory, after deduction of the kernel itself and other early statically
allocated memory, can be used for the kmem_map. The kmem_map provides
for all UMA/malloc allocations in KVM space.
Previously ARM was using a fixed kmem_map size of (12*1024*1024) = 12MB
without regard to effectively available memory. This is too small for
recent ARM SoC with more than 128MB of RAM.
For reference a description of others related kmem_map parameters:
VM_KMEM_SIZE default start size of kmem_map if SCALE is

VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN hard floor on the kmem_map size
VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX hard ceiling on the kmem_map size

The motivation for the TSC-low timecounter, as described in the

behaviour of the RDTSC on some Intel hardware. Tests demonstrate that
even with the pre-shift of 8, the cross-core non-monotonicity of the

The pre-shift of 1 is applied to keep TSC not overflowing for the

In all the routines that loop through a range of virtual addresses, the loop
is controlled by subtracting the cache line size from the total length of the
request. After the subtract, a 'bpl' instruction was used, which branches if
the result of the subtraction is zero or greater, but we need to exit the
loop when the count hits zero. Thus, all the bpl instructions in those loops
have been changed to 'bhi' (branch if greater than zero).
In addition, the two routines that walk through the cache using set-and-index
were correct, but confusing. The loop control for those has been simplified,
just so that it's easier to see by examination that the code is correct.
Routines for other arm architectures and generations still have the bpl
instruction, but compensate for the off-by-one situation by decrementing
the count register by one before entering the loop.

* Add HTINFO field decoding to ieee80211_ies_expand() - it's likely not
100% correct as it's not looking at the draft 11n HTINFO location,
but I don't think anyone will care.
* When doing an IBSS join make sure the 11n channel configuration
is used - otherwise the 11a/11bg channel will be used
and there won't be any chance for an upgrade to 11n.
* When creating an IBSS network, ensure the channel is updated to an
11n channel so other 11n nodes can see it and speak to it with MCS
rates.
* Add a bit of code that's disabled for now which handles the HT
field updating. This won't work out very well with lots of adhoc
nodes as we'd end up ping-ponging between the HT configuration for
each node. Instead, we should likely only pay attention to the
"master" node we initially associated against and then ensure we
propagate that information forward in our subsequent beacons. However,
due to the nature of IBSS (ie, there's no specific "master" node in
the specification) it's unclear which node we should lift the HT
parameters from.
So for now this assumes the HT parameters are squirreled away in the
initial beacon/probe response.
So there's some trickiness here.
With ap/sta pairing, the probe response just populates a legacy node
and the association request/response is what is used for negotiation
11n-ness (and upgrading things as needed.)
With ibss networks, the pairing is done with probe request/response,
with discovery being done by creating nodes when new beacons in the
IBSS / BSSID are heard. There's no assoc request/response frames going on.
So the trick here has been to figure out where to upgrade things.
I don't like how I just taught ieee80211_sta_join() to "speak" HT -
I'd rather there be an upgrade path when an IBSS node joins and there
are HT parameters present. Once I've done that, I'll kill this
HT special casing that's going on in ieee80211_sta_join().
Tested:
* AR9280, AR5416, AR5212 - basic iperf and ping interoperability tests

TODO:
* Fix up the HT upgrade path for IBSS nodes rather than adding code
in ieee80211_sta_join(), then remove my code from there.
* When associating, there's a concept of a "master" node in the IBSS
which is the node you first joined the network through. It's possible
the correct thing to do is to listen to HT updates and configure WME
parameters from that node. However, once that node goes away, which
node(s) should be listened to for configuration changes?
For things like HT channel width, it's likely going to be ok to
just associate as HT40 and then use the per-neighbor rate control
and HTINFO/HTCAP fields to figure out which rates and configuration
to speak. Ie, for a 20MHz 11n node, just speak 20MHz rates to
it. It shouldn't "change", like what goes on in AP/STA configurations.

By setting dev.netmap.fwd=1 (or enabling the feature with a per-ring flag),
packets are forwarded between the NIC and the host stack unless the
netmap client clears the NS_FORWARD flag on the individual descriptors.
This feature greatly simplifies applications where some traffic
(think of ARP, control traffic, ssh sessions...) must be processed
by the host stack, whereas the bulk is handled by the netmap process
which simply (un)marks packets that should not be forwarded.
The default is chosen so that now a netmap receiver operates
in a mode very similar to bpf.
Of course there is no free lunch: traffic to/from the host stack
still operates at OS speed (or less, as there is one extra copy in
one direction).
HOWEVER, since traffic goes to the user process before being
reinjected, and reinjection occurs in a user context, you get some
form of livelock protection for free.

if_start().
This removes the overlapping data path TX from occuring, which
solves quite a number of the potential TX queue races in ath(4).
It doesn't fix the net80211 layer TX queue races and it doesn't
fix the raw TX path yet, but it's an important step towards this.
This hasn't dropped the TX performance in my testing; primarily
because now the TX path can quickly queue frames and continue
along processing.
This involves a few rather deep changes:
* Use the ath_buf as a queue placeholder for now, as we need to be
able to support queuing a list of mbufs (ie, when transmitting
fragments) and m_nextpkt can't be used here (because it's what is
joining the fragments together)
* if_transmit() now simply allocates the ath_buf and queues it to
a driver TX staging queue.
* TX is now moved into a taskqueue function.
* The TX taskqueue function now dequeues and transmits frames.
* Fragments are handled correctly here - as the current API passes
the fragment list as one mbuf list (joined with m_nextpkt) through
to the driver if_transmit().
* For the couple of places where ath_start() may be called (mostly
from net80211 when starting the VAP up again), just reimplement
it using the new enqueue and taskqueue methods.
What I don't like (about this work and the TX code in general):
* I'm using the same lock for the staging TX queue management and the
actual TX. This isn't required; I'm just being slack.
* I haven't yet moved TX to a separate taskqueue (but the taskqueue is
created); it's easy enough to do this later if necessary. I just need
to make sure it's a higher priority queue, so TX has the same
behaviour as it used to (where it would preempt existing RX..)
* I need to re-review the TX path a little more and make sure that
ieee80211_node_*() functions aren't called within the TX lock.
When queueing, I should just push failed frames into a queue and
when I'm wrapping up the TX code, unlock the TX lock and
call ieee80211_node_free() on each.
* It would be nice if I could hold the TX lock for the entire
TX and TX completion, rather than this release/re-acquire behaviour.
But that requires that I shuffle around the TX completion code
to handle actual ath_buf free and net80211 callback/free outside
of the TX lock. That's one of my next projects.
* the ic_raw_xmit() path doesn't use this yet - so it still has

Instead, use if_transmit() directly - and handle the cases where frame
transmission fails.
I don't necessarily like this and I think at this point the M_ENCAP check,
node freeing upon fail and the actual if_transmit() call should be done
in methods in ieee80211_freebsd.c, but I digress slightly..
This removes one of the last few uses of if_start() and the ifnet
if_snd queue. The last major offender is ieee80211_output.c, where
ieee80211_start() implements if_start() and uses the ifnet queue
directly.
(There's a couple of gotchas here, where the if_start pointer is

bits to ask it for how many logical/physical disks it can handle.
Revert svn R242089 that raised CISS_MAX_LOGICAL to 64 for all controllers.
For older controllers that don't support this mechanism, fallback to the old
value of 16 logical disks. Tested on P420, P410, P400 and 6i model ciss(4)
controllers.
This should will be MFC'd back to stable/9 stable/8 and stable/7 after the MFC
period.

This is the Compressed Local IPv6 table on the chip. To save space, the
chip uses an index into this table instead of a full IPv6 address in
some of its hardware data structures.
For now the driver fills this table with all the local IPv6 addresses
that it sees at the time the table is initialized. I'll improve this
later so that the table is updated whenever new IPv6 addresses are
configured or existing ones deleted.
