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

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.

boundary DMA bug. Previously bge(4) used 32bit DMA address to
workaround the bug(r199670). However this caused the use of bounce
buffers such that it resulted in poor performance for systems which
have more than 4GB memory. Because bus_dma(9) honors boundary
restriction requirement of DMA tag for dynamic buffers, having a
separate TX/RX mbuf DMA tag will greatly reduce the possibility of
using bounce buffers. For DMA buffers allocated with
bus_dmamem_alloc(9), now bge(4) explicitly checks whether the
requested memory region crossed the boundary or not.
With this change, only the DMA buffer that crossed the boundary
will use 32bit DMA address. Other DMA buffers are not affected as
separate DMA tag is created for each DMA buffer.
Even if 32bit DMA address space is used for a buffer, the chance to
use bounce buffer is still very low as the size of buffer is small.
This change should eliminate most usage of bounce buffers on
systems that have more than 4GB memory.

Collapsing mbuf chains to reduce number of memory reads before
transmitting was most effective way to workaround this. I got about
940Mbps from 850Mbps with mbuf collapsing on BCM5761. However it
takes a lot of CPU cycles to collapse mbuf chains so add tunable to
control the number of allowed TX buffers before collapsing. The
default value is 0 which effectively disables the forced collapsing.
For most cases 2 would yield best performance(about 930Mbps)

Note the collapsing is only activated when the controller is on
PCIe bus and the frame does not need TSO operation. TSO does not

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

Because of this we were not getting further interrupts for link state
changes, thus never went into iface UP state and thus could not transmit.
The only way out of this was an incoming packet generating an rx interrupt
and making us call into bge_link_upd.
Up to rev. 1.101, in bge_start_locked, we only returned instantly
if there was 'no link AND nothing queued for tx'. So with a packet queued
for tx, we hit the register scrubbing at the end of bge_start_locked
and were out fine. We simply lost a packet or two but got the interrupts
need to get into UP state.
With rev. 1.102 this was turned into 'if there is no link OR there is
nothing to send' (correct behaviour) and as long as there is no link
we never hit the register scrubbing and consequently never got the link UP.
What we do now is force an interrupt at the end of bge_ifmedia_upd_locked
so we will call bge_link_upd, clear the link state attention and get
further interrupts.
This helps to get the iface UP on an idle network or at least to get
it UP faster not depending on an rx intr anymore.
In case you could not get a DHCP lease or it took very long,
it was because of this.
It is unknown which chips are affected by this. ASIC rev. 0x2003 was the
most popular trouble candidate.
At least the fiber cards should have been working fine.
Which register to scrub is currently under discussion. The comitted
solution was tested and found to work for a lot of setups. It might
not help with MSI.
The reason why we end up in such a situation is entirely unknown.

devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

sysctl_handle_int is not sizeof the int type you want to export.

In a few places this was sysctl_handle_int was being used on 64 bit

cases use sysctl_handle_quad to export them and change the format
to Q so that sysctl(1) can still print them.
