Broadcom recommends driver set the value 3 times longer than the

newer controllers. However, all data sheet I have access has no
indication that buffer manager should not be touched on these
controllers. It seems the buffer manager always runs on BCM5705 or
newer controllers. Some controller(e.g. BCM5719) needs other buffer
manager configuration so driver should enable buffer manager for
all controllers. Both Linux and OpenBSD/NetBSD use the same
approach.
This change polls enable bit of block to know whether specified
block was really stopped as well as enabling buffer manager for all

(reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being
zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we
hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
attach a miibus(4) instance.
Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance. Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.

DMA boundary bug and runs with PCI-X mode. watchdog timeout was
observed on BCM5704 which lives behind certain PCI-X bridge(e.g.
AMD 8131 PCI-X bridge). It's still not clear whether the root
cause came from that PCI-X bridge or not. The watchdog timeout
indicates the issue is in TX path. If the bridge reorders TX

versions of FreeBSD. In fact we are already missing a lot of conditional
code necessary to support older versions of FreeBSD, including alternatives
for vital functionality not yet provided by the respective subsystem back
then (see for example r199663). So this change shouldn't actually break
this driver on versions of FreeBSD that were supported before. Besides,
this driver also isn't maintained as an multi-release version outside of
the main repository, so removing the conditional code shouldn't be a
problem in that regard either.

support in mii(4):
- Merge generic flow control advertisement (which can be enabled by
passing by MIIF_DOPAUSE to mii_attach(9)) and parsing support from
NetBSD into mii_physubr.c and ukphy_subr.c. Unlike as in NetBSD,
IFM_FLOW isn't implemented as a global option via the "don't care
mask" but instead as a media specific option this. This has the
following advantages:
o allows flow control advertisement with autonegotiation to be
turned on and off via ifconfig(8) with the default typically
being off (though MIIF_FORCEPAUSE has been added causing flow
control to be always advertised, allowing to easily MFC this
changes for drivers that previously used home-grown support for
flow control that behaved that way without breaking POLA)
o allows to deal with PHY drivers where flow control advertisement
with manual selection doesn't work or at least isn't implemented,
like it's the case with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4),
by setting MIIF_NOMANPAUSE
o the available combinations of media options are readily available
from the `ifconfig -m` output
- Add IFM_FLOW to IFM_SHARED_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS and IFM_ETH_RXPAUSE
and IFM_ETH_TXPAUSE to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so
these are understood by ifconfig(8).
o Make the master/slave support in mii(4) actually usable:
- Change IFM_ETH_MASTER from being implemented as a global option via
the "don't care mask" to a media specific one as it actually is only
applicable to IFM_1000_T to date.
- Let mii_phy_setmedia() set GTCR_MAN_MS in IFM_1000_T slave mode to
actually configure manually selected slave mode (like we also do in
the PHY specific implementations).
- Add IFM_ETH_MASTER to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so it
is understood by ifconfig(8).
o Switch bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along with brgphy(4),
e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to use the generic flow control support
instead of home-grown solutions via IFM_FLAGs. This includes changing
these PHY drivers and smcphy(4) to no longer unconditionally advertise
support for flow control but only if the selected media has IFM_FLOW
set (or MIIF_FORCEPAUSE is set) and implemented for these media variants,
i.e. typically only for copper.
o Switch brgphy(4), ciphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to report and
set IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER instead of via IFF_LINK0
and some IFM_FLAGn.
o Switch brgphy(4) to add at least the the supported copper media based on
the contents of the BMSR via mii_phy_add_media() instead of hardcoding
them. The latter approach seems to have developed historically, besides
causing unnecessary code duplication it was also undesirable because
brgphy_mii_phy_auto() already based the capability advertisement on the
contents of the BMSR though.
o Let brgphy(4) set IFM_1000_T master mode on all supported PHY and not
just BCM5701. Apparently this was a misinterpretation of a workaround
in the Linux tg3 driver; BCM5701 seem to require RGPHY_1000CTL_MSE and
BRGPHY_1000CTL_MSC to be set when configuring autonegotiation but
this doesn't mean we can't set these as well on other PHYs for manual
media selection.
o Let ukphy_status() report IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER so
IFM_1000_T master mode support now is generally available with all PHY
drivers.
o Don't let e1000phy(4) set master/slave bits for IFM_1000_SX as it's
not applicable there.

This change set supports all hardware features except IOV and

buffer descriptors for jumbo frame are not supported. RSS requires
a more substantial set of changes and will apply to a larger set
