frightening "unknown" word. In most cases we don't need to know chips
to properly handle them, but having IDs in logs may simplify debugging.

1. correct the initialization of RDT when there is an ixgbe_init()
while a netmap client is active. This code was previously
in ixgbe_initialize_receive_units() but RDT is overwritten
shortly afterwards in ixgbe_init_locked()
2. add code (not active yet) to disable CRCSTRIP while in netmap mode.
From all evidence i could gather, it seems that when the 82599 has to
write a data block that is not a full cache line, it first reads
the line (64 bytes) and then writes back the updated version.
This hurts reception of min-sized frames, which are only 60 bytes
if the CRC is stripped: i could never get above 11Mpps
(received from one queue) with CRCSTRIP enabled, whyle 64+4-byte
packets reach 14.2 Mpps (the theoretical maximum).
Leaving the CRC in gets us 14.88Mpps for 60+4 byte frames,
(and penalizes 64+4). The min-size case is important not just because
it looks good in benchmarks, but also because this is the size
of pure acks.
Note we cannot leave CRCSTRIP on by default because it is
incompatible with some other features (LRO etc.)
of HDA bus. Handle that from two directions:
- Add support for "striping" (using several SDO lines), if supported.
- Account HDA bus utilization and return error on new stream allocation
attempt if remaining bandwidth is unsifficient.
Most of HDA controllers have one SDO line with 46Mbps output bandwidth.
NVIDIA GF210 has 2 lines - 92Mbps. NVIDIA GF520 has 4 lines - 184Mbps!

- Enable and handle unsolicited responses from digital display pins,
reporting connection and EDID-Like Data (ELD) validity status changes.
- Fetch ELD data, describing connected digital display device audio
capabilities. These data not really used at the moment (user is not
denied to use audio formats not supported by the device), only printed to
verbose logs. But they are useful for debugging. The fact that ELD was
received tells that HDMI link was established and video driver enabled
HDMI audio passthrough. Some old chips may not return ELD, so lack of it
is not necessary a problem.
- Add some more points to CODEC configuration sequence:
- For converter widgets, supporting more then two channels (HDMI/DP
converter widgets support 8), set number of channels to handle.
- For digital display pins (HDMI/DP) fill audio infoframe, reporting
connected device about number of channels and speakers allocation.
- For digital display pins (HDMI/DP) set mapping between channels seen
by software and channels transferred via HDMI/DisplayPort.
- Allow more audio formats, not used for analog connections because of
stereo pairs orientation, but easily applicable to HDMI/DisplayPort: 2.1,
3.0, 3.1, 4.1, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0. That list may be filtered later using
info from ELD.
- Disable MSI interrupts for NVIDIA HDA controllers before GT520.
At this point I can successfully play audio over HDMI from NVIDIA GT210
and GT520 cards with nvidia-driver-290.10 driver to Marantz SR4001
receiver in 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 PCM formats at 44, 48,
88 and 96KHz at 16 and 24 bits, same as do AC3/DTS passthrough.
6.0, 6.1, 7.0 and 7.1 PCM formats are not working for me, but I think
it is because of receiver age.

to being more generic.
Other embedded SoCs also throw the configuration/PCI register
info into flash.
For now I'm just hard-coding the AR9280 option (for on-board AR9220's on
AP94 and commercial designs (eg D-Link DIR-825.))
TODO:
* Figure out how to support it for all 11n SoC NICs by doing it in
ar5416InitState();
* Don't hard-code the EEPROM size - add another field which is set
by the relevant chip initialisation code.
* 'owl_eep_start_loc' may need to be overridden in some cases to 0x0.
I need to do some further digging.
- Huge old hdac driver was split into three independent pieces: HDA
controller driver (hdac), HDA CODEC driver (hdacc) and HDA sudio function
driver (hdaa).
- Support for multichannel recording was added. Now, as specification
defines, driver checks input associations for pins with sequence numbers
14 and 15, and if found (usually) -- works as before, mixing signals
together. If it doesn't, it configures input association as multichannel.
- Signal tracer was improved to look for cases where several DACs/ADCs in
CODEC can work with the same audio signal. If such case found, driver
registers additional playback/record stream (channel) for the pcm device.
- New controller streams reservation mechanism was implemented. That
allows to have more pcm devices then streams supported by the controller
(usually 4 in each direction). Now it limits only number of simultaneously
transferred audio streams, that is rarely reachable and properly reported
if happens.
- Codec pins and GPIO signals configuration was exported via set of
writable sysctls. Another sysctl dev.hdaa.X.reconfig allows to trigger
driver reconfiguration in run-time.
- Driver now decodes pins location and connector type names. In some cases
it allows to hint user where on the system case connectors, related to the
pcm device, are located. Number of channels supported by pcm device,
reported now (if it is not 2), should also make search easier.
- Added workaround for digital mic on some Asus laptops/netbooks.

1. as reported by Alexander Fiveg, the allocator was reporting
half of the allocated memory. Fix this by exiting from the
loop earlier (not too critical because this code is going
away soon).
2. following a discussion on freebsd-current
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2012-January/031144.html
turns out that (re)loading the dmamap was expensive and not optimized.
This operation is in the critical path when doing zero-copy forwarding
between interfaces.
At least on netmap and i386/amd64, the bus_dmamap_load can be
completely bypassed if the map is NULL, so we do it.
The latter change gives an almost 3x improvement in forwarding
performance, from the previous 9.5Mpps at 2.9GHz to the current
line rate (14.2Mpps) at 1.733GHz. (this is for 64+4 byte packets,
in other configurations the PCIe bus is a bottleneck).
CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.
It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.
Some CTL features:
- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.
(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.
ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.
ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.
ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.
ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.
ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.
ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.
ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.
ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.
ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.
ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.
ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.
ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.
ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.
ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.
ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.
ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.
ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.
ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.
ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.
scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.
README.ctl.txt: CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.
usr.sbin/Makefile: Add ctladm.
ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c: ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
injecting errors and various other control
functions.
usr.bin/Makefile: Add ctlstat.
ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c: ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
It reports I/O statistics for CTL.
sys/conf/files: Add CTL files.
sys/conf/NOTES: Add device ctl.
sys/cam/scsi_all.h: To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
length field is now 2 bytes long.
Add several mode page definitions for CTL.
sys/cam/scsi_all.c: Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.
sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c: Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.
scsi_da.h: Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.
amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC: Add device ctl.
i386/conf/PAE: The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
cleanly on PAE.

This uses the emuxkireg.h already used in the emu10k1
snd driver. Special thanks go to Alexander Motin as
he was able to find some errors and reverse engineer
some wrong values in the emuxkireg header.
The emu10kx driver is now free from the GPL.

This introduces:
* a basic wtap interface
* a HAL, which implements an abstraction layer for implementing
different device behavious;
* A visibility plugin, which allows for control over which nodes
see other nodes (useful for mesh work.)
It doesn't yet implement sta/adhoc/hostap modes but these are quite
feasible to implement.
Monthadar uses it to do 802.11s mesh verification.
The userland tools will be committed in a follow-up commit.
