We have (two versions) of MS() and SM() macros which we use throughout
the wireless code. Change all but three places (ath_hal, rtwn, and rsu)
to the newly provided _IEEE80211_MASKSHIFT() and _IEEE80211_SHIFTMASK()
macros. Also change one internal case using both _S and _M instead of
just _S away from _M (one of the reasons rtwn and rsu were not changed).
This was done semi-mechanically. No functional changes intended.

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.

If bus_dmamap_load_mbuf() fails following a defrag, the caller of
bwn_dma_tx_start() would free the original mbuf after m_defrag() had
already done so. Fix this by returning the defragged mbuf to the
caller instead. Update bwn_pio_tx_start() similarly for consistency.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

r326454.
bwn(4)/bhnd(4) has been tested with most chipsets currently supported by
bwn(4), and this change should be transparent to existing bwn(4) users;
please report any regressions that you do encounter.
To revert to using siba_bwn(4) instead of bhnd(4), place the following
lines in loader.conf(5):
hw.bwn_pci.preferred="0"
Once we're satisfied that the switch to bhnd(4) has seen sufficient broader
testing, bwn(4) will be migrated to use the native bhnd(9) interface
directly, and support for siba_bwn(4) will be dropped (see D13518).
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
This removes the direct WME info access in the ieee80211com struct and instead
provides a method of fetching the data. Right now it's a no-op but eventually
it'll turn into a per-VAP method for drivers that support it (eg iwn, iwm,
upcoming ath10k work) as things like p2p support require this kind of behaviour.
Tested:
* ath(4), STA and AP mode
TODO:
* yes, this is slightly stack size-y, but it is an important first step
to get drivers migrated over to a sensible WME API. A lot of per-phy things
need to be converted to per-VAP before P2P, 11ac firmware, etc stuff shows up.
- Add the BCM4322X D11 core revision and missing BCM43224 PCI device ID to
our device tables.
- Disable the DMA engine parity check (rather than adding parity support
to the to-be-replaced bwn(4) DMA implementation).
Currently, N-PHY support in bwn(4) is GPL licensed, and is not included by
default. Until this is replaced with Broadcom's ISC-licensed N-PHY
implementation, bwn(4) must be rebuilt to enable N-PHY support.
To build bwn(4) with N-PHY support, add the following lines to your kernel
configuration file and rebuild the kernel (and modules):
options BWN_GPL_PHY
To test bwn(4) with a BCM43224/BCM43225 device, install the firmware from
the net/bwn-firmware-kmod port, and place the following lines in

Currently, bwn(4) relies on the siba_bwn(4) bus driver to provide support
for the on-chip SSB interconnect found in Broadcom's older PCI(e) Wi-Fi
adapters. Non-PCI Wi-Fi adapters, as well as the newer BCMA interconnect
found in post-2009 Broadcom Wi-Fi hardware, are not supported by
siba_bwn(4).
The bhnd(4) bus driver (also used by the FreeBSD/MIPS Broadcom port)
provides a unified kernel interface to a superset of the hardware supported
by siba_bwn; by attaching bwn(4) via bhnd(4), we can support both modern
PCI(e) Wi-Fi devices based on the BCMA backplane interconnect, as well as
Broadcom MIPS WiSoCs that include a D11 MAC core directly attached to their
SSB or BCMA backplane.
This diff introduces opt-in bwn(4) support for bhnd(4) by providing:
- A small bwn(4) driver subclass, if_bwn_bhnd, that attaches via
bhnd(4) instead of siba_bwn(4).
- A bhndb(4)-based PCI host bridge driver, if_bwn_pci, that optionally
probes at a higher priority than the siba_bwn(4) PCI driver.
- A set of compatibility shims that perform translation of bwn(4)'s
siba_bwn function calls into their bhnd(9) API equivalents when bwn(4)
is attached via a bhnd(4) bus parent. When bwn(4) is attached via
siba_bwn(4), all siba_bwn function calls are simply passed through to
their original implementations.
To test bwn(4) with bhnd(4), place the following lines in loader.conf(5):
hw.bwn_pci.preferred="1"
if_bwn_pci_load="YES
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"
bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load="YES"
To verify that bwn(4) is using bhnd(4), you can check dmesg:
bwn0: <Broadcom 802.11 MAC/PHY/Radio, rev 15> ... on bhnd0
... or devinfo(8):
pcib2

bwn(4)/bhnd(4) has been tested for regressions with most chipsets currently
supported by bwn(4), including:
- BCM4312
- BCM4318
- BCM4321
With minimal changes to the DMA code (not included in this commit), I was
also able to test support for newer BCMA devices by bringing up basic
working Wi-Fi on two previously unsupported, BCMA-based N-PHY chipsets:
- BCM43224
- BCM43225

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.

This trips me up whenever I'm fooling around with partially supported
NICs that fail to fully attach or initialise - the firmware gets loaded
and references, but something fails - and the firmware references
aren't cleaned up.
After perusing the PHY-LP code (don't ask why; honest) I discovered that
it /has/ 5GHz support - but it's not ever used. I found one NIC - a
BCM4312 w/ pci id 0x4315 - which advertised dual-band PHY-LP support.
Turns out it works.
Whilst here, move up the support bit logging code so I can use it
to debug this.
Tested:
* BCM4312 (pci id 0x4315); 5GHz STA operation
* convert phy_getinfo() to take a "gmode" flag, rather than the siba
TGSHIGH flags and then check for 2GHz. This should ensure that
gmode is set correctly even on DUALPHY NICs.
* move the siba_powerup() call and the TGSHIGH decoding into a
call to bwn_is_bus_siba(), and return an error if it's called
on anything else. We don't yet do anything else, but when we do..
Tested:
* BCM4322, 11a STA
That pops up in the rev 5xx / 6xx microcode on the later cores
(4312, 4322.) I'm not sure why this is happening yet and I'll
dig into it, but Linux b43 does the same thing.
* Add the new TX/RX frame formats;
* Use the right TX/RX format based on the frame info;
* Disable the 5xx firmware check, since now it should
somewhat work (but note, we don't yet use it unless
you manually add ucode11/initvals11 from the 5.x driver
to bwn-kmod-firmware;
* Misc: update some comments/debugging now I know what's
actually going on.
Tested:
* BCM4321MC, STA mode, both 4xx and 666 firmware, DMA mode
TODO:
* The newer firmware ends up logging "warn: firmware state (0)";
not sure yet what's going on there. But, yes, it still works.
I'm committing this via a BCM4321MC, 11a station, firmware
rev 666.
Obtained from: Linux b43 (TX/RX descriptor format for 5xx)
* always allocate maximum size txhdr entries
* set the right rx header offset/framesize based on firmware
This still isn't what's completely required for fw 598 support; there's
more to come.

two separate PHYs/MACs (which we almost but don't quite yet support.)

This means the 2g/5g flags are preserved, and thus we get 5GHz

N-PHY and later require a lot more plcp specific setup for the PHY
to know what to transmit. I've been spoilt by the atheros, intel
and realtek parts where you don't have to hand-assemble the PLCP
but .. well, apparently Broadcom require a lot more work.
This, and PHY-N itself, was the last major missing bit to get 11a
OFDM transmit to work. Without this, CCK transmit worked but
OFDM transmit would always fail (with stat.phy_err set to 0x80.)
I have no idea what 0x80 is, and I went mad reading the broadcom
vendor driver to try and figure it out.
Tested:
* BCM4312 (PHY-LP)
* BCM4321 (PHY-N), 11a, 11bg.
