Implement the linux_io_* syscalls (AIO). They are only enabled if the native
AIO code is available (either compiled in to the kernel or as a module) at
the time the functions are used. If the AIO stuff is not available there
will be a ENOSYS.
From the submitter:

DESIGN NOTES:
1. Linux permits a process to own multiple AIO queues (distinguished by
"context"), but FreeBSD creates only one single AIO queue per process.
My code maintains a request queue (STAILQ of queue(3)) per "context",
and throws all AIO requests of all contexts owned by a process into
the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue.
When the process calls io_destroy(2), io_getevents(2), io_submit(2) and
io_cancel(2), my code can pick out requests owned by the specified context
from the single FreeBSD per-process AIO queue according to the per-context
request queues maintained by my code.
2. The request queue maintained by my code stores contrast information between
Linux IO control blocks (struct linux_iocb) and FreeBSD IO control blocks
(struct aiocb). FreeBSD IO control block actually exists in userland memory
space, required by FreeBSD native aio_XXXXXX(2).
3. It is quite troubling that the function io_getevents() of libaio-0.3.105
needs to use Linux-specific "struct aio_ring", which is a partial mirror
of context in user space. I would rather take the address of context in
kernel as the context ID, but the io_getevents() of libaio forces me to
take the address of the "ring" in user space as the context ID.
To my surprise, one comment line in the file "io_getevents.c" of
libaio-0.3.105 reads:
Ben will hate me for this

- Add a mutex to protect the svr4 socket cache.

- Only allocate a stream structure and attach it to a socket in

operation on an arbitrary socket not opened via the streams device,
we would attach streams state data to it and change f_ops of the
associated struct file while it was in use. The latter was especially
not safe, and if a program wants a stream object it should open it via
the streams device anyway.
- Don't bother locking so_emuldata in the streams code now that we only
touch it right after creating a socket (in streamsopen()) or when
tearing it down when the file is closed.
- Remove D_NEEDGIANT from the streams device as it is no longer needed.

mostly consists of pushing a few copyin's and copyout's up into
__semctl() as all the other callers were already doing the UIO_SYSSPACE

callers can only set td->td_retval[0] if all the various copyout's succeed.
As a result of these changes, kern_semctl() no longer does copyin/copyout
(except for GETALL/SETALL) so simplify the locking to acquire the semakptr
mutex before the MAC check and hold it all the way until the end of the
big switch statement. The GETALL/SETALL cases have to temporarily drop it

Add back in a scheme to emulate old type major/minor numbers via hooks into
stat, linprocfs to return major/minors that Linux app's expect. Currently
only /dev/null is always registered. Drivers can register via the Linux
type shim similar to the ioctl shim but by using
linux_device_register_handler/linux_device_unregister_handler functions.
The structure is:
struct linux_device_handler {
char *bsd_driver_name;
char *linux_driver_name;
char *bsd_device_name;
char *linux_device_name;
int linux_major;
int linux_minor;
int linux_char_device;
};
Linprocfs uses this to display the major number of the driver. The
soon to be available linsysfs will use it to fill in the driver name.
Linux_stat uses it to translate the major/minor into Linux type values.
Note major numbers are dynamically assigned via passing in a -1 for
the major number so we don't need to keep track of them.
This is somewhat needed due to us switching to our devfs. MegaCli
will not run until I add in the linsysfs and mfi Linux compat changes.

for a Windows ISR is 'BOOLEAN isrfunc(KINTERRUPT *, void *)' meaning
the ISR get a pointer to the interrupt object and a context pointer,
and returns TRUE if the ISR determines the interrupt was really generated
by the associated device, or FALSE if not.
I had mistakenly used 'void isrfunc(void *)' instead. It happens the
only thing this affects is the internal ndis_intr() ISR in subr_ndis.c,
but it should be fixed just in case we ever need to register a real
Windows ISR vi IoConnectInterrupt().
For NDIS miniports that provide a MiniportISR() method, the 'is_our_intr'
value returned by the method serves as the return value from ndis_isr(),
and 'call_isr' is used to decide whether or not to schedule the interrupt
handler via DPC. For drivers that only supply MiniportEnableInterrupt()
and MiniportDisableInterrupt() methods, call_isr is always TRUE and
is_our_intr is always FALSE.
In the end, there should be no functional changes, except that now
ntoskrnl_intr() can terminate early once it finds the ISR that wants
to service the interrupt.

Intel's web site requires some minor tweaks to get it to work:
- The driver seems to have been released with full WMI tracing enabled,
and makes references to some WMI APIs, namely IoWMIRegistrationControl(),
WmiQueryTraceInformation() and WmiTraceMessage(). Only the first
one is ever called (during intialization). These have been implemented
as do-nothing stubs for now. Also added a definition for STATUS_NOT_FOUND
to ntoskrnl_var.h, which is used as a return code for one of the WMI
routines.
- The driver references KeRaiseIrqlToDpcLevel() and KeLowerIrql()
(the latter as a function, which is unusual because normally
KeLowerIrql() is a macro in the Windows DDK that calls KfLowewIrql()).
I'm not sure why these are being called since they're not really
part of WDM. Presumeably they're being used for backwards
compatibility with old versions of Windows. These have been
implemented in subr_hal.c. (Note that they're _stdcall routines
instead of _fastcall.)
- When querying the OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST OID to get a BSSID list,
you don't know ahead of time how many networks the NIC has found
during scanning, so you're allowed to pass 0 as the list length.
This should cause the driver to return an 'insufficient resources'
error and set the length to indicate how many bytes are actually
needed. However for some reason, the Intel driver does not honor
this convention: if you give it a length of 0, it returns some
other error and doesn't tell you how much space is really needed.
To get around this, if using a length of 0 yields anything besides
the expected error case, we arbitrarily assume a length of 64K.
This is similar to the hack that wpa_supplicant uses when doing
a BSSID list query.
for code to start out on one CPU when thunking into Windows
mode in ctxsw_utow(), and then be pre-empted and migrated to another
CPU before thunking back to UNIX mode in ctxsw_wtou(). This is
bad, because then we can end up looking at the wrong 'thread environment
block' when trying to come back to UNIX mode. To avoid this, we now
pin ourselves to the current CPU when thunking into Windows code.
Few other cleanups, since I'm here:
- Get rid of the ndis_isr(), ndis_enable_interrupt() and
ndis_disable_interrupt() wrappers from kern_ndis.c and just invoke
the miniport's methods directly in the interrupt handling routines
in subr_ndis.c. We may as well lose the function call overhead,
since we don't need to export these things outside of ndis.ko
now anyway.
- Remove call to ndis_enable_interrupt() from ndis_init() in if_ndis.c.
We don't need to do it there anyway (the miniport init routine handles
it, if needed).
- Fix the logic in NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() a little.
- Change some NDIS_STATUS_xxx codes in subr_ntoskrnl.c into STATUS_xxx
codes.
- Handle kthread_create() failure correctly in PsCreateSystemThread().
Having an additional MT_HEADER mbuf type is superfluous and redundant

the start of the section headers has to take into account the fact
that the image_nt_header is really variable sized. It happens that
the existing calculation is correct for _most_ production binaries
produced by the Windows DDK, but if we get a binary with oddball
offsets, the PE loader could crash.
Changes from the supplied patch are:
- We don't really need to use the IMAGE_SIZEOF_NT_HEADER() macro when
computing how much of the header to return to callers of
pe_get_optional_header(). While it's important to take the variable
size of the header into account in other calculations, we never
actually look at anything outside the non-variable portion of the
header. This saves callers from having to allocate a variable sized
buffer off the heap (I purposely tried to avoid using malloc()
in subr_pe.c to make it easier to compile in both the -D_KERNEL and
!-D_KERNEL case), and since we're copying into a buffer on the
stack, we always have to copy the same amount of data or else
we'll trash the stack something fierce.
- We need <stddef.h> to get offsetof() in the !-D_KERNEL case.
- ndiscvt.c needs the IMAGE_FIRST_SECTION() macro too, since it does
a little bit of section pre-processing.

and ndis_halt_nic(). It's been disabled for some time anyway, and
it turns out there's a possible deadlock in NdisMInitializeTimer() when
acquiring the miniport block lock to modify the timer list: it's
possible for a driver to call NdisMInitializeTimer() when the miniport
block lock has already been acquired by an earlier piece of code. You
can't acquire the same spinlock twice, so this can deadlock.
Also, implement MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace(), and make
NdisMMapIoSpace() and NdisMUnmapIoSpace() use them. There are some
drivers that want MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace() so that they can
map arbitrary register spaces not directly associated with their
device resources. For example, there's an Atheros driver for
a miniPci card (0x168C:0x1014) on the IBM Thinkpad x40 that wants
to map some I/O spaces at 0xF00000 and 0xE00000 which are held by
the acpi0 device. I don't know what it wants these ranges for,
but if it can't map and access them, the MiniportInitialize() method
fails.
This avoids the need for sched_bind() in the default case so that you
can start up the NDIS subsystem at boot time when only CPU 0 is running.
There are potentially ways to fix it so that the DPC threads aren't
started until after the other CPUs are launched, but doing it correctly
is tricky. You need to defer the startup of the ntoskrnl subsystem
(ntoskrnl_libinit()), not just defer ndis_attach().
For now, I don't think it will make much difference having just the
single DPC thread (I started out with just one anyway). Note that this
turns the KeSetTargetProcessorDpc() routine into a no-op, since the
CPU number in struct kdpc is now ignored.

will ultimately do a wakeup(td->td_proc). This is the event we
should wait on. Eliminate the previous synchronization machinery
for this since it was never guaranteed to work correctly.
processor, to insure DPC thread 0 runs on CPU0, DPC thread 1 runs on
CPU1, and so on.
Elevate the priority of the workitem threads, though don't use as
high a priority as the DPC threads.
- Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't
run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held).
- In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in
a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because
ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This
implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is
being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding
any locks.
- Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original
approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning
the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when
two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable
interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the
NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr())
and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or
remove interrupts from the dispatch list.
- Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock().
- Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock
API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin().
- Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual
packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines
to manage the packet queue.
- Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create
a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation
says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is
a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.)
- Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl.
- Add the following conditional debugging code:
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers
NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long
- In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last,
since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be
started second and shut down next to last.
