HT frames are now correctly protected with an RTS and for the AR5416,

if any subframes in an aggregate have different protection from the
first frame in the formed aggregate, don't add that frame to the
aggregate.
This is likely a suboptimal method (I think we'll mostly be OK marking
frames that have seqno's with the same protection as normal data frames)
but I'll just be cautious for now.
This will be used by some upcoming code to ensure that aggregates
are enforced to be a certain size. The AR5416 has a limitation on
RTS protected aggregates (8KiB).

In intr_shuffle_irqs(), remove CPU_SETOF() call that initialized
the "intr_cpus" cpuset to only contain CPU0.
This initialization is too late and nullifies the results of calls
the intr_add_cpu() that occur much earlier in the boot process.
Since "intr_cpus" is statically initialized to the empty set, and
all processors, including the BSP, already add themselves to
"intr_cpus" no special initialization for the BSP is necessary.

The menu item is now made completely independent with the ACPI item - most
modern systems seem to require ACPI and become even more "unsafe"
without it.
Safe Mode no longer disables APIC for the same reason.
kbdmux is not disabled as this feature has proven itself stable.
New actions:
- SMP is disabled in the Safe Mode now
- eventtimers are forced to periodic mode (some real and virtual systems
seem to have problems otherwise)
- geom extra vigorous integrity checking is disabled, this is to
facilitate migration from previous versions
Possible short term to do:
- make SMP switch a separate menu item
- restore APIC switch as a separate menu item
Longer term to do:
- turn various tweaks into separate menu items in a Safe Mode sub-menu
Please consider adding a safety tweak to Safe Mode when introducing
new major features or changes that may cause instabilities.

Linux and Solaris (at least OpenSolaris) has PF_PACKET socket families to send
raw ethernet frames. The only FreeBSD interface that can be used to send raw frames
is BPF. As a result, many programs like cdpd, lldpd, various dhcp stuff uses
BPF only to send data. This leads us to the situation when software like cdpd,
being run on high-traffic-volume interface significantly reduces overall performance
since we have to acquire additional locks for every packet.
Here we add sysctl that changes BPF behavior in the following way:
If program came and opens BPF socket without explicitly specifyin read filter we
assume it to be write-only and add it to special writer-only per-interface list.
This makes bpf_peers_present() return 0, so no additional overhead is introduced.
After filter is supplied, descriptor is added to original per-interface list permitting
packets to be captured.
Unfortunately, pcap_open_live() sets catch-all filter itself for the purpose of
setting snap length.
Fortunately, most programs explicitly sets (event catch-all) filter after that.
tcpdump(1) is a good example.
So a bit hackis approach is taken: we upgrade description only after second
BIOCSETF is received.
Sysctl is named net.bpf.optimize_writers and is turned off by default.
- While here, document all sysctl variables in bpf.4

Interface locks and descriptor locks are converted from mutex(9) to rwlock(9).
This greately improves performance: in most common case we need to acquire 1
reader lock instead of 2 mutexes.
- Remove filter(descriptor) (reader) lock in bpf_mtap[2]
This was suggested by glebius@. We protect filter by requesting interface
writer lock on filter change.
- Cover struct bpf_if under BPF_INTERNAL define. This permits including bpf.h
without including rwlock stuff. However, this is is temporary solution,
struct bpf_if should be made opaque for any external caller.

return EOVERFLOW if this is true.
a mutex after a thread has unlocked it, it event writes data to the mutex
memory to clear contention bit, there is a race that other threads
can lock it and unlock it, then destroy it, so it should not write
data to the mutex memory if there isn't any waiter.
The new operation UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2 try to fix the problem. It
requires thread library to clear the lock word entirely, then
call the WAKE2 operation to check if there is any waiter in kernel,
and try to wake up a thread, if necessary, the contention bit is set again
by the operation. This also mitgates the chance that other threads find
the contention bit and try to enter kernel to compete with each other
to wake up sleeping thread, this is unnecessary. With this change, the
mutex owner is no longer holding the mutex until it reaches a point
where kernel umtx queue is locked, it releases the mutex as soon as
possible.
Performance is improved when the mutex is contensted heavily. On Intel
i3-2310M, the runtime of a benchmark program is reduced from 26.87 seconds
to 2.39 seconds, it even is better than UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE which is

A BAR frame must be transmitted when an frame in an A-MPDU session fails
to transmit - it's retried too often, or it can't be cloned for
re-transmission. The BAR frame tells the remote side to advance the
left edge of the block-ack window (BAW) to a new value.
In order to do this:
* TX for that particular node/TID must be paused;
* The existing frames in the hardware queue needs to be completed, whether
they're TXed successfully or otherwise;
* The new left edge of the BAW is then communicated to the remote side
via a BAR frame;
* Once the BAR frame has been sucessfully TXed, aggregation can resume;
* If the BAR frame can't be successfully TXed, the aggregation session
is torn down.
This is a first pass that implements the above. What needs to be done/
tested:
* What happens during say, a channel reset / stuck beacon _and_ BAR
TX. It _should_ be correctly buffered and retried once the
reset has completed. But if a bgscan occurs (and they shouldn't,
grr) the BAR frame will be forcibly failed and the aggregation session
will be torn down.
Yes, another reason to disable bgscan until I've figured this out.
* There's way too much locking going on here. I'm going to do a couple
of further passes of sanitising and refactoring so the (re) locking
isn't so heavy. Right now I'm going for correctness, not speed.
* The BAR TX can fail if the hardware TX queue is full. Since there's
no "free" space kept for management frames, a full TX queue (from eg
an iperf test) can race with your ability to allocate ath_buf/mbufs
and cause issues. I'll knock this on the head with a subsequent
commit.
* I need to do some _much_ more thorough testing in hostap mode to ensure
that many concurrent traffic streams to different end nodes are correctly
handled. I'll find and squish whichever bugs show up here.
But, this is an important step to being able to flip on 802.11n by default.
The last issue (besides bug fixes, of course) is HT frame protection and
I'll address that in a subsequent commit.
