net80211 wireless stack. This work is based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft
standard. This standard is expected to become final next year.
This includes two main net80211 modules, ieee80211_mesh.c
which deals with peer link management, link metric calculation,
routing table control and mesh configuration and ieee80211_hwmp.c
which deals with the actually routing process on the mesh network.
HWMP is the mandatory routing protocol on by the mesh standard, but
others, such as RA-OLSR, can be implemented.
Authentication and encryption are not implemented.
There are several scripts under tools/tools/net80211/scripts that can be
used to test different mesh network topologies and they also teach you
how to setup a mesh vap (for the impatient: ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev ... wlanmode mesh).
A new build option is available: IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH and it's enabled
by default on GENERIC kernels for i386, amd64, sparc64 and pc98.
Drivers that support mesh networks right now are: ath, ral and mwl.
More information at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/WifiMesh
Please note that this work is experimental. Also, please note that
bridging a mesh vap with another network interface is not yet supported.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for sponsoring this project and to
Sam Leffler for his support.
Also, I would like to thank Gateworks Corporation for sending me a
Cambria board which was used during the development of this project.

The default (64K) is too pessimistic for "new comm" hardware.
Also, this is bad because multiple controllers get limited by
the global tunable.

usermode, it generates GPF, that is mirrored to user mode as SIGSEGV.
The offending register in mcontext should contain the value loading of
which generated the GPF, and it is so on i386. On amd64, we currently
report segment descriptor in tf_err, while segment register contains the
corrected value loaded by trap handler.
Fix the issue by behaving like i386, reloading segment register in trap
frame after signal frame is pushed onto user stack.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

optionally, created a separate list of NFSv4 opens to be closed, it
was possible for the associated OpenOwner to be free'd before the Open
was closed. The problem was that the Open was taken off the OpenOwner
list before the Close RPC was done and OpenOwners can be free'd once the
list is empty. This patch separates out the case of doing the Close RPC
into a separate function called nfscl_doclose() and simplifies nfsrpc_doclose()
so that it closes a single open instead of a list of them. This avoids
removing the Open from the OpenOwner list before doing the Close RPC.

Save segment registers in trap handlers before interrupts are enabled,
to not allow context switches to happen before registers are saved.
Use separated byte in pcb for indication of fast/full return, since
pcb_flags are not synchronized with context switches.
The change puts back syscall microbenchmark numbers that were slowed
down after commit of the support for LDT on amd64.

if the new file mode is the same as it was before; however, this
optimization must be disabled for filesystems that support NFSv4 ACLs.
Chmod uses pathconf(2) to determine whether this is the case - however,
pathconf(2) always follows symbolic links, while the 'chmod -h' doesn't.
This change adds lpathconf(3) to make it possible to solve that problem
in a clean way.

got introduced to provide backward compatibility for extended
partitions, but it ended up not being used because it didn't work
as expected. Since there are no consumers of the ioctl and the
implementation is broken, the best fix is to remove the code
entirely.

to simultaneously change the PAT setting for the same pages within the
direct map region. This may require the demotion of a 2MB page mapping and
the allocation of a page table page. This revision gives the highest
possible priority (VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT) to this page allocation, so that
pmap_change_attr() is less likely to fail. (In general, kernel page table
page allocations have the highest priority, so this is not creating a new
precedent.)
(Demotion of 1GB page mappings within the direct map already specifies
VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT to vm_page_alloc(), so only pmap_demote_pde() must be
changed.)

when the interrupt was moved from one CPU to another. If the interrupt was
enabled, then the old IDT vector needs to be disabled and the new IDT vector
needs to be enabled. This was mostly masked prior to the recent MSI changes
since in the older code almost all allocated IDT vectors were already enabled
and the enabled vectors on the BSP during boot covered enough of the IDT
range. However, after the MSI changes, MSI interrupts that were allocated
but not enabled (e.g. DRM with MSI) during boot could result in an allocated
IDT vector that wasn't enabled. The round-robin at the end of boot could
place another interrupt at the same IDT vector without enabling the IDT
vector causing trap 30 faults.
Fix this by explicitly disabling/enabling the old and new IDT vectors for
enabled interrupt sources when moving an interrupt between CPUs via the
pic_assign_cpu() method. While here, fix a bug in my earlier changes so
that an I/O APIC interrupt pin is left unchanged if ioapic_assign_cpu()
fails to allocate a new IDT vector and returns ENOSPC.
