The ccr(4) driver supports use of the crypto accelerator engine on
Chelsio T6 NICs in "lookaside" mode via the opencrypto framework.
Currently, the driver supports AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, and AES-XTS
cipher algorithms as well as the SHA1-HMAC, SHA2-256-HMAC, SHA2-384-HMAC,
and SHA2-512-HMAC authentication algorithms. The driver also supports
chaining one of AES-CBC, AES-CTR, or AES-XTS with an authentication
algorithm for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
Note that this driver is still under active development and testing and
may not yet be ready for production use. It does pass the tests in
tests/sys/opencrypto with the exception that the AES-GCM implementation
in the driver does not yet support requests with a zero byte payload.
To use this driver currently, the "uwire" configuration must be used
along with explicitly enabling support for lookaside crypto capabilities
in the cxgbe(4) driver. These can be done by setting the following
tunables before loading the cxgbe(4) driver:
hw.cxgbe.config_file=uwire
hw.cxgbe.cryptocaps_allowed=-1

Extend the Book-E pmap to support 64-bit operation. Much of this was taken from
Juniper's Junos FreeBSD port. It uses a 3-level page table (page directory
list -- PP2D, page directory, page table), but has gaps in the page directory
list where regions will repeat, due to the design of the PP2D hash (a 20-bit gap
between the two parts of the index). In practice this may not be a problem
given the expanded address space. However, an alternative to this would be to
use a 4-level page table, like Linux, and possibly reduce the available address
space; Linux appears to use a 46-bit address space. Alternatively, a cache of
page directory pointers could be used to keep the overall design as-is, but
remove the gaps in the address space.
This includes a new kernel config for 64-bit QorIQ SoCs, based on MPC85XX, with
the following notes:
* The DPAA driver has not yet been ported to 64-bit so is not included in the
kernel config.
* This has been tested on the AmigaOne X5000, using a MD_ROOT compiled in
(total size kernel+mdroot must be under 64MB).
* This can run both 32-bit and 64-bit processes, and has even been tested to run
a 32-bit init with 64-bit children.

Linux has a slightly different device tree definition for DPAA than originally
done in the FreeBSD driver. This changes the driver to be mostly compatible
with the Linux device tree definitions. Currently the differences are:
bman-portals: compatible = "fsl,bman-portals" (Linux is "simple-bus")
qman-portals: compatible = "fsl,qman-portals" (Linux is "simple-bus")
fman: compatible = "fsl,fman" (Linux is "simple-bus")
The Linux device tree doesn't specify anything for rgmii in the mdio. This
change still requires the device tree to specify the phy-handle, and doesn't yet
support tbi.
Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot

Instead replace it with a different hack, that turns fman into a simplebus
subclass, and maps its children within its address space.
Since all PHY communication is done through dtsec0's mdio space, the FDT
contains a reference to the dtsec0 mdio handle in all nodes that need it.
Instead of using Freescale's implementation for MII access, use our own (copied
loosely from the eTSEC driver, and could possibly be merged eventually). This
lets us access the registers directly rather than needing a full dtsec interface
just to access the registers.
Future directions will include turning fman into more of a simplebus, and not
mapping the region and playing games. This will require changes to the dtsec
driver to make it a child of fman, and possibly other drivers as well.

Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is

This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that

functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the

The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio
T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the
existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver
currently depends on the PF4 driver.
Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf
PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates
child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF.
By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF.
t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to
fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware.
t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its
own attach routine.
VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when
transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message
to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not
permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet
results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message
requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums,
so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all
packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums
on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes
the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are
calculated in software.
Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose
various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they
can be used by the VF driver.
Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF
devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of
statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for
the PF interfaces.

Summary:
MPC85XX and QorIQ are very similar. When the DPAA dTSEC driver was
added, QORIQ_DPAA was brought in as a config option to support the differences
in hardware register settings between QorIQ (e500mc-, e5500- based) SoCs and
QUICC (e500v1/e500v2-based) SoCs, particularly in the Local Access Window (LAW)
target settings.
Unify these settings using macros to hide details and ease porting, and use a
new function (mpc85xx_is_qoriq()) to distinguish between QorIQ and QUICC SoCs at
runtime.
An alternative to using the function could be to use a variable initialized at
platform attach time, which may incur less overhead at runtime. Since it's not
in the critical path once booted, this optimization doesn't seem necessary at
first pass.

PCI-express HotPlug support is implemented via bits in the slot
registers of the PCI-express capability of the downstream port along
with an interrupt that triggers when bits in the slot status register
change.
This is implemented for FreeBSD by adding HotPlug support to the
PCI-PCI bridge driver which attaches to the virtual PCI-PCI bridges
representing downstream ports on HotPlug slots. The PCI-PCI bridge
driver registers an interrupt handler to receive HotPlug events. It
also uses the slot registers to determine the current HotPlug state
and drive an internal HotPlug state machine. For simplicty of
implementation, the PCI-PCI bridge device detaches and deletes the
child PCI device when a card is removed from a slot and creates and
attaches a PCI child device when a card is inserted into the slot.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver provides a bus_child_present which claims
that child devices are present on HotPlug-capable slots only when a
card is inserted. Rather than requiring a timeout in the RC for
config accesses to not-present children, the pcib_read/write_config
methods fail all requests when a card is not present (or not yet
ready).
These changes include support for various optional HotPlug
capabilities such as a power controller, mechanical latch,
electro-mechanical interlock, indicators, and an attention button.
It also includes support for devices which require waiting for
command completion events before initiating a subsequent HotPlug
command. However, it has only been tested on ExpressCard systems
which support surprise removal and have none of these optional
capabilities.
PCI-express HotPlug support is conditional on the PCI_HP option
which is enabled by default on arm64, x86, and powerpc.

Freescale's QorIQ line includes a new ethernet controller, based on their
Datapath Acceleration Architecture (DPAA). This uses a combination of a Frame
manager, Buffer manager, and Queue manager to improve performance across all
interfaces by being able to pass data directly between hardware acceleration
interfaces.
As part of this import, Freescale's Netcomm Software (ncsw) driver is imported.
This was an attempt by Freescale to create an OS-agnostic sub-driver for
managing the hardware, using shims to interface to the OS-specific APIs. This
work was abandoned, and Freescale's primary work is in the Linux driver (dual
BSD/GPL license). Hence, this was imported directly to sys/contrib, rather than
going through the vendor area. Going forward, FreeBSD-specific changes may be
made to the ncsw code, diverging from the upstream in potentially incompatible
ways. An alternative could be to import the Linux driver itself, using the
linuxKPI layer, as that would maintain parity with the vendor-maintained driver.
However, the Linux driver has not been evaluated for reliability yet, and may
have issues with the import, whereas the ncsw-based driver in this commit was
completed by Semihalf 4 years ago, and is very stable.

* Security and Encryption engine (SEC4.x, SEC5.x)
* RAID engine

* Test vlan support
* Add support for the Pattern Matching Engine, which can do regular expression
matching on packets.
This driver has been tested on the P5020 QorIQ SoC. Others listed in the

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

As clearly mentioned on the mailing lists, there is a list of drivers
that have not been ported to the MPSAFE TTY layer yet. Remove them from
the kernel configuration files. This means people can now still use
these drivers if they explicitly put them in their kernel configuration
file, which is good.
People should keep in mind that after August 10, these drivers will not
work anymore. Even though owners of the hardware are capable of getting
these drivers working again, I will see if I can at least get them to a
compilable state (if time permits).
to detect (or load) kernel NLM support in rpc.lockd. Remove the '-k'
option to rpc.lockd and make kernel NLM the default. A user can still
force the use of the old user NLM by building a kernel without NFSLOCKD
and/or removing the nfslockd.ko module.
