there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

The TI uart hardware is ns16550-compatible, except that before it can
be used the clocks and power have to be enabled and a non-standard
mode control register has to be set to put the device in uart mode
(as opposed to irDa or other serial protocols). This adds the extra
code in an extension to the standard ns8250 probe routine, and the
rest of the driver is just the standard ns8250 code.
This makes it easier to implement new drivers which are "mostly ns8250"
but with some small difference such as needing to enable clocks or poke
a non-standard register at probe or attach time.

H/W not de-asserting the interrupt at all. On x86, and because of the
following conditions, this results in a hard hang with interrupts disabled:
1. The uart(4) driver uses a spin lock to protect against concurrent
access to the H/W. Spin locks disable and restore interrupts.
2. Restoring the interrupt on x86 always writes the flags register. Even
if we're restoring the interrupt from disabled to disabled.
3. The x86 CPU has a short window in which interrupts are enabled when the
flags register is written.
4. The uart(4) driver registers a fast interrupt by default.
To catch this case, we first try to clear any pending H/W interrupts and in
particular, before setting up the interrupt. This makes sure the interrupt
is masked on the PIC. The interrupt handler now has a limit set on the
number of iterations it'll go through to clear interrupt conditions. If the
limit is hit, the handler will return FILTER_SCHEDULE_THREAD. The attach
function will check for this return code and avoid setting up the interrupt

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.

unused bit of IER to control RX timeout interrupts independently of the

interrupts when the FIFO is full, never before. This is not very useful when
the UART is being used as a console.
In order to support this without causing potential problems on more "normal"

for that argument. This will allow DDB to detect the broad category of
reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.
Assign approximate why values to all current consumers of the
kdb_enter() interface.
a pointer to struct bus_space. The structure contains function
pointers that do the actual bus space access.
The reason for this change is that previously all bus space
accesses were little endian (i.e. had an explicit byte-swap
for multi-byte accesses), because all busses on Macs are little
endian.
The upcoming support for Book E, and in particular the E500
core, requires support for big-endian busses because all
embedded peripherals are in the native byte-order.
With this change, there's no distinction between I/O port
space and memory mapped I/O. PowerPC doesn't have I/O port
space. Busses assign tags based on the byte-order only.
For that purpose, two global structures exist (bs_be_tag and
bs_le_tag), of which the address can be taken to get a valid
tag.

in the putc() method. Likewise, in the getc() method, don't check for
received characters with an interval defined in terms of the baudrate.
In both cases it works equally well to implement a fixed delay. More
importantly, it avoids calculating a delay that's roughly 1/10th the
time it takes to send/receive a character. The calculation is costly
and happens for every character sent or received, affecting low-level
console or debug port performance significantly. Secondly, when the
RCLK is not available or unreliable, the delays could disrupt normal
operation.
The fixed delay is 1/10th the time it takes to send a character at
230400 bps.
