297c9cab3e Add constructors to crude structure support. Rework some of the
code into a more modular interface, with hidden vocabularies and
such. Remove the need to a lot of ugly initialization.

Also, add a few structure definitions, from stuff used on the C
part of loader. Some of this will disappear, and the crude structure
support will most likely be replaced by full-blown OOP support
already present on FICL, but not installed by default. But it was
getting increasingly inconvenient to keep this separate on my tree,
and I already lost lots of work once because of the hurdles, so
commit this.

Anyway, it makes support.4th more structured, and I'm not proceeding
with the work on it any time soon, unfortunately.

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
(root@outback.netplex.com.au, Tue Jun 13 23:26:49 PDT 2000)
Loader version 0.3+ required
Aborted!
start not found

Note that the 0.3+ message is from inside the arch-alpha block, not the
i386 block of code.  And even then, 0.8 is higher than 0.3.

This prevents the rest of the loader.conf stuff working. :-/

f71c01cc52 Borrow phk's axe and apply the next stage of config(8)'s evolution.
Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.

config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel.  You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
  set hint.ed.0.port=0x320

userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.

It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8).  See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.

All device wiring has been moved out of config(8).  There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file.  If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you.  You can also compile in the
hints directly with:  hints "device.hints"  as well.

There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet.  Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it.  However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built.  A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/

Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated.  eg:  'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4.  You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3).  Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this.  This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.

Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning!

d742bdfc76 The word environment? returns a flag indicating whether the variable
was found or not. Fix it's usage. Alas, it caused no problem before,
besides leaving garbage in the stack, because refill, used by [if]
[else] [then], was broken.

c1312289dd Modify boot-conf so it can take a kernel or directory name as
a parameter and dtrt.

Also, make boot-conf always unload first. There wasn't really any
point in not doing this, as the kernel _has_ to be loaded before
any other modules.

261b9b3066 Add driver support for the Aironet 4500/4800 series wireless 802.11
NICs. (Finally!) The PCMCIA, ISA and PCI varieties are all supported,
though only the ISA and PCI ones will work on the alpha for now.
PCCARD, ISA and PCI attachments are all provided. Also provided an
ancontrol(8) utility for configuring the NIC, man pages, and updated
pccard.conf.sample. ISA cards are supported in both ISA PnP and hard-wired
mode, although you must configure the kernel explicitly to support the
hardwired mode since you have to know the I/O address and port ahead
of time.

Special thanks to Doug Ambrisko for doing the initial newbus hackery
and getting it to work in infrastructure mode.

0177987224 Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the CATC
USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should
have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market.
The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right
now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made
by SMC :/ ).

Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining.
This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB
bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large
bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to
believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make
use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the
aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points.

dfd1e98eac Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the
Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip, including the LinkSys USB10T, the
Entrega NET-USB-E45, the Peracom USB Ethernet Adapter, the 3Com
3c19250 and the ADS Technologies USB-10BT. This device is 10mbs
half-duplex only, so there's miibus or ifmedia support. This device
also requires firmware to be loaded into it, however KLSI allows
redistribution of the firmware images (I specifically asked about
this; they said it was ok).

Special thanks to Annelise Anderson for getting me in touch with
KLSI (eventually) and thanks to KLSI for providing the necessary
programming info.

Highlights:
- Add driver files to /sys/dev/usb
- update usbdevs and regenerate attendate files
- update usb_quirks.c
- Update HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT for i386 and alpha
- Update LINT, GENERIC and others for i386, alpha and pc98
- Add man page
- Add module
- Update sysinstall and userconfig.c

ed63a7aaef This commit adds device driver support for the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus
USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.

Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.

Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.

Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.

Highlights:

- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
- Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files
- Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files
- Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c
- Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default
- Updated /sys/conf/files
- Added new kld module directory
