implement options TERMINAL_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR. These are aliased to
SC_{KERNEL_CONS,NORM}_ATTR and like these latter, allow to change the
default colors of normal and kernel text respectively.
Note on the naming: Although affecting the output of vt(4), technically
kern/subr_terminal.c is primarily concerned with changing default colors
so it would be inconsistent to term these options VT_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR.
Actually, if the architecture and abstraction of terminal+teken+vt would
be perfect, dev/vt/* wouldn't be touched by this commit at all.

ismt(4) supports the SMBus Message Transport controller found on Intel
C2000 series (Avoton) and S1200 series (Briarwood) Atom SoCs.
Sponsored by: Intel
This driver supports the low and high precision models (9 and 11 bits) and
it will auto-detect the both variants.
The driver expose the temperature registers (actual temperature, shutdown
and hysteresys temperature) and also the configuration register.
It was tested on FDT systems: RPi, BBB and on non-FDT systems: AR71xx, with
both, hardware i2c controllers (when available) and gpioiic(4).
This provides a simple and cheap way for verifying the i2c bus on embedded

cards. LSI has been maintaining this driver outside of the FreeBSD
tree. It overlaps support of ThunderBolt and Invader cards that mfi(4)
supports. By default mfi(4) will attach to cards. If the tunable:
hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1
is set then mfi(4) will not probe and attach to these newer cards and
allow mrsas(4) to attach. So by default this driver will not effect
a FreeBSD system unless mfi(4) is removed from the kernel or the
tunable is enabled.
mrsas(4) attaches disks to the CAM layer so it depends on CAM and devices
show up as /dev/daX. mfiutil(8) does not work with mrsas. The FreeBSD
version of MegaCli and StorCli from LSI do work with mrsas. It appears
that StorCli only works with mrsas. MegaCli appears to work with mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
It would be good to add mfiutil(4) support to mrsas, emulations modes,
kernel logging, device aliases to ease the transition between mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
Style issues should be resolved by LSI when they get committers approved.
The plan is get this driver in FreeBSD 9.3 to improve HW support.
Thanks to LSI for developing, testing and working with FreeBSD to
make this driver co-exist in FreeBSD. This improves the overall

This code was heavily broken few months ago during CAM locking changes.
Fixing it would require almost complete rewrite. Since there are no
known devices on market using this interface younger then ~15 years, and
they are CD, not even DVD, I don't see much reason to rewrite it.
This change does not mean those devices won't work. They will just work
slower due to inefficient disks load/unload schedule if several LUNs

other modes supported by the FTDI serial adapter chips.
In addition to adding the new ioctls, this change removes all the code
that reset the chip at attach and open/close time, and also the code
that turned on RTS/CTS flow control on open without any permission to do
so (that was just always a bug in the driver).
When FTDI chips are configured as GPIO or MPSSE or other special-purpose
uses by an attached serial eeprom, the chip will power on with certain
pins driven or floating, and it's important that the driver not do
anything to the chip to perturb that unless it receives a specific
command to do so. When used for "plain old serial comms" the chip
powers on into the right mode and never needs to be reset while it's
running to operate properly, so this change is transparent to most users.
The ADC has a 12bit resolution and its raw output can be read via sysctl(8)
interface.
The driver allows the setup of ADC clock, samples average and open delay
(the number of clock cycles to wait before start the conversion).
The TSC_ADC module is set in the general purpose mode (no touchscreen
support).

This is the first step to get mrsas(4) checked into FreeBSD and to avoid

Most relevant features:
- netmap emulation on any NIC, even those without native netmap support.
On the ixgbe we have measured about 4Mpps/core/queue in this mode,
which is still a lot more than with sockets/bpf.
- seamless interconnection of VALE switch, NICs and host stack.
If you disable accelerations on your NIC (say em0)
ifconfig em0 -txcsum -txcsum
you can use the VALE switch to connect the NIC and the host stack:
vale-ctl -h valeXX:em0
allowing sharing the NIC with other netmap clients.
- THE USER API HAS SLIGHTLY CHANGED (head/cur/tail pointers
instead of pointers/count as before). This was unavoidable to support,
in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings.
Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again.

Add cross reference in gpioctl(8) for people to find.
This is by no means complete and really only covers gpioled(4) and the
Atheros based systems who expose a few extra hints at boot time.
This should be updated by developers who know more about this system than
I and viewed as the beginning of documentation, not the end.

This is a significant rewrite of much of the previous driver; lots of
misc. cleanup was also performed, and support for a few other minor
features was also added.
- Allow the Rx/Tx queue sizes to be configured by tunables
- Bail out earlier if the Tx queue unlikely has enough free
descriptors to hold the frame
- Cleanup some of the offloading capabilities handling
configure sa(4) to request no I/O splitting by default.
For tape devices, the user needs to be able to clearly understand
what blocksize is actually being used when writing to a tape
device. The previous behavior of physio(9) was that it would split
up any I/O that was too large for the device, or too large to fit
into MAXPHYS. This means that if, for instance, the user wrote a
1MB block to a tape device, and MAXPHYS was 128KB, the 1MB write
would be split into 8 128K chunks. This would be done without
informing the user.
This has suboptimal effects, especially when trying to communicate
status to the user. In the event of an error writing to a tape
(e.g. physical end of tape) in the middle of a 1MB block that has
been split into 8 pieces, the user could have the first two 128K
pieces written successfully, the third returned with an error, and
the last 5 returned with 0 bytes written. If the user is using
a standard write(2) system call, all he will see is the ENOSPC
error. He won't have a clue how much actually got written. (With
a writev(2) system call, he should be able to determine how much
got written in addition to the error.)
The solution is to prevent physio(9) from splitting the I/O. The
new cdev flag, SI_NOSPLIT, tells physio that the driver does not
want I/O to be split beforehand.
Although the sa(4) driver now enables SI_NOSPLIT by default,
that can be disabled by two loader tunables for now. It will not
be configurable starting in FreeBSD 11.0. kern.cam.sa.allow_io_split
allows the user to configure I/O splitting for all sa(4) driver
instances. kern.cam.sa.%d.allow_io_split allows the user to
configure I/O splitting for a specific sa(4) instance.
There are also now three sa(4) driver sysctl variables that let the
users see some sa(4) driver values. kern.cam.sa.%d.allow_io_split
shows whether I/O splitting is turned on. kern.cam.sa.%d.maxio shows
the maximum I/O size allowed by kernel configuration parameters
(e.g. MAXPHYS, DFLTPHYS) and the capabilities of the controller.
kern.cam.sa.%d.cpi_maxio shows the maximum I/O size supported by
the controller.
Note that a better long term solution would be to implement support
for chaining buffers, so that that MAXPHYS is no longer a limiting
factor for I/O size to tape and disk devices. At that point, the
controller and the tape drive would become the limiting factors.
sys/conf.h: Add a new cdev flag, SI_NOSPLIT, that allows a
driver to tell physio not to split up I/O.
sys/param.h: Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1000049 for the addition
of the SI_NOSPLIT cdev flag.
kern_physio.c: If the SI_NOSPLIT flag is set on the cdev, return
any I/O that is larger than si_iosize_max or
MAXPHYS, has more than one segment, or would have
to be split because of misalignment with EFBIG.
(File too large).
In the event of an error, print a console message to
give the user a clue about what happened.
scsi_sa.c: Set the SI_NOSPLIT cdev flag on the devices created
for the sa(4) driver by default.
Add tunables to control whether we allow I/O splitting
in physio(9).
Explain in the comments that allowing I/O splitting
will be deprecated for the sa(4) driver in FreeBSD
11.0.
Add sysctl variables to display the maximum I/O
size we can do (which could be further limited by
read block limits) and the maximum I/O size that
the controller can do.
Limit our maximum I/O size (recorded in the cdev's
si_iosize_max) by MAXPHYS. This isn't strictly
necessary, because physio(9) will limit it to
MAXPHYS, but it will provide some clarity for the
application.
Record the controller's maximum I/O size reported
in the Path Inquiry CCB.
sa.4: Document the block size behavior, and explain that
the option of allowing physio(9) to split the I/O
will disappear in FreeBSD 11.0.

random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
+ yarrow
+ rdrand (ivy.c)
+ nehemeiah
* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
from a list of registered ones.
* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.
* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
system wide one.

algorithm, which is based on the 2011 v0.1 patch release and described in the
paper "Revisiting TCP Congestion Control using Delay Gradients" by David Hayes
and Grenville Armitage. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the
modular congestion control framework.
CDG is a hybrid congestion control algorithm which reacts to both packet loss
and inferred queuing delay. It attempts to operate as a delay-based algorithm
where possible, but utilises heuristics to detect loss-based TCP cross traffic
and will compete effectively as required. CDG is therefore incrementally
deployable and suitable for use on shared networks.

The NTB allows you to connect two systems with this device using a PCI-e
link. The driver is made of two modules:
- ntb_hw which is a basic hardware abstraction layer for the device.
- if_ntb which implements the ntb network device and the communication
protocol.
The driver is limited at the moment to CPU memcpy instead of using DMA, and
only Back-to-Back mode is supported. Also the network device isn't full
featured yet. These changes will be coming soon. The DMA change will also
bring in the ioat driver from the project branch it is on now.
This is an initial port of the GPL/BSD Linux driver contributed by Jon Mason
from Intel. Any bugs are my contributions.
