TX stalls in this driver, I've also had some
time to evaluate the effectiveness of different
watchdog strategies.
This is the latest attempt, which consolidates
all of the watchdog logic in one place and
consistently detects TX stalls and resets within
a couple of seconds.
(as used in AM335x SoC for BeagleBone).
Among other things:
* Watchdog reset doesn't hang the driver.
* Disconnecting cable doesn't hang the driver.
* ifconfig up/down doesn't hang the driver
* Out-of-memory no longer panics the driver.
Known issues:
* Doesn't have good support for fragmented packets
(calls m_defrag() on TX, assumes RX packets are never fragmented)
* Promisc and allmulti still unimplimented
* addmulti and delmulti still unimplemented
* TX queue still stalls (but watchdog now consistently recovers in ~5s)
* No sysctl monitoring
* Only supports port0
* No switch configuration support
* Not tested on anything but BeagleBone

- Add pl310.disable tunable to disable L2 cache altogether. In
order to make sure that it's 100% disabled we use cache event
counters for cache line eviction and read allocate events
and panic if any of these counters increased. This is purely
for debugging purpose
- Direct access DEBUG_CTRL and CTRL might be unavailable in
unsecure mode, so use platform-specific functions for
these registers
- Replace #if 1 with proper erratum numbers
- Add erratum 753970 workaround
- Remove wait function for atomic operations
- Protect cache operations with spin mutex in order to prevent race condition
- Disable instruction cache prefetch and make sure data cache
prefetch is enabled in OMAP4-specific intialization
The copies of initarm used on platforms with FDT support were almost
identical. The differences were pulled out into separate functions that
were called by initarm.
This change merges the, now identical, copies of initarm and a few of it's
support functions. This is a step towards a common kernel on ARMv6.
* Record TX mbufs when we get them so we can release them.
* Set TX/RX mbuf slots to NULL when we are no longer responsible for them
* Move dma sync on RX into RX intr routine
On single core devices set_stackptrs is only ever called with cpu = 0 in
initarm and will be identical to the existing function. On SMP this needs
to be implemented for sys/arm/mp_machdep.c, but the implementations are
identical for each SoC.
