KERNBUILDDIR. Come up with some sensible defaults (though listing them
in kmod.mk may be unwise -- we have no easy way to know what are the
best sensible defaults for everything so we just catch the big stuff).
Append SRCS.${opt} for each option in KERN_OPTS to SRCS to allow easy
conditional compilation. Append any notion of KERN_OPTS_EXTRA to the
list of kernel opts.

In C mode -fms-extensions option enables anonymous structs and unions,
allowing us to use this C11 feature in kernel. Of course, clang supports
it without any extra options.

DCTCP congestion control algorithm aims to maximise throughput and minimise
latency in data center networks by utilising the proportion of Explicit
Congestion Notification (ECN) marked packets received from capable hardware as a
congestion signal.
Highlights:
Implemented as a mod_cc(4) module.
ECN (Explicit congestion notification) processing is done differently from
RFC3168.
Takes one-sided DCTCP into consideration where only one of the sides is using
DCTCP and other is using standard ECN.

fallback targets to build the aic generated files. fmake doesn't like

don't provide the fallback targets for fmake. This gives a little
extra compatibility to old systems trying to build new kernels at
almost no cost to the current code.
of the scan API.
The eventual aim is to have 'ieee80211_scan.c' have the net80211 and
driver facing scan API to start, finish and continue doing scanning
while 'ieee80211_swscan.c' implements the software scanner that
runs the scan task, handles probe request/reply bits, configures
the VAP off-channel, changes channel and does the scanning bits.
For NICs that do no scanning at all, the existing code is needed.
ath(4) and most of the other NICs (dumb USB ones in particular)
do little to no scan offload - it's all done in software.
Some NICs may do single channel at a time scanning; I haven't really
checked them out in detail.
iwn(4), the upcoming 7260 driver stuff, the new Qualcomm Atheros
11ac chipsets and the Atheros mobile/USB full-offload chips all
have complete scan engines in firmware. We don't have to drive
any of it at all - the firmware just needs to be told what to scan,
when to scan, how long to scan. It'll take care of going off
channel, pausing TX/RX appropriately, sending sleep notification
to the AP, sending probe requests and handling probe responses.
It'll do passive/active scan itself. It's almost completely
transparent to the network stack - all we see are scan notifications
when it finishes scanning each channel and beacons/probe responses
when it does its thing. Once it's done we get a final notification
that the scan is complete, with some scan results in the message.
The iwn(4) NICs handle doing active scanning too as an option
and will handle waiting appropriately on 5GHz passive channels
before active scanning.
There's some more refactoring, tidying up and lock assertions to
sprinkle around to tidy this whole thing up before I turn swscan.c
into another set of ic methods to override by the driver or
alternate scan module. So in theory this is all one big no-op
commit. In theory.

* iwn(4) 5200, STA mode

has support for the .codeXX directives). However, it is desirable, for
a time, to allow kernels to be built with clang 3.4. Historically, it
has been advantageous to allow stable X-1 to build kernels the old
way (so long as the impact of doing so is small), and this restores
that ability.
Also, centralize the addition of ${ASM_CFLAGS.${.IMPSRC}}, place it in
kern.mk rather than kern.pre.mk so that all modules can benefit, and
give the same treatment to CFLAGS in kern.mk as well.
CWARNFALGS.$file centrally so we don't have to have it in all the

Also, always use -Wno-unknown-pragma to (hopefully temporarily) work

stale warning suppression that's no longer necessary.
roughly 10 years, and the driver has not enjoyed any significant maintenance
since long before that. Despite well-meaning efforts from a number of
people, myself included, it never made the jump to 64-bit and was relegated
to the back-corners of i386. Now its frailty is hampering forward progress
with Clang. Any renewed engineering efforts are of course welcome and can
happen outside of the tree. No MFC of this is planned.
a) Front load as much work as possible in if_transmit, before any driver
lock or software queue has to get involved.
b) Replace buf_ring with a brand new mp_ring (multiproducer ring). This
is specifically for the tx multiqueue model where one of the if_transmit
producer threads becomes the consumer and other producers carry on as
usual. mp_ring is implemented as standalone code and it should be
possible to use it in any driver with tx multiqueue. It also has:
- the ability to enqueue/dequeue multiple items. This might become
significant if packet batching is ever implemented.
- an abdication mechanism to allow a thread to give up writing tx
descriptors and have another if_transmit thread take over. A thread
that's writing tx descriptors can end up doing so for an unbounded
time period if a) there are other if_transmit threads continuously
feeding the sofware queue, and b) the chip keeps up with whatever the
thread is throwing at it.
- accurate statistics about interesting events even when the stats come
at the expense of additional branches/conditional code.
The NIC txq lock is uncontested on the fast path at this point. I've
left it there for synchronization with the control events (interface
up/down, modload/unload).
c) Add support for "type 1" coalescing work request in the normal NIC tx
path. This work request is optimized for frames with a single item in
the DMA gather list. These are very common when forwarding packets.
Note that netmap tx in cxgbe already uses these "type 1" work requests.
d) Do not request automatic cidx updates every 32 descriptors. Instead,
request updates via bits in individual work requests (still every 32
descriptors approximately). Also, request an automatic final update
when the queue idles after activity. This means NIC tx reclaim is still
performed lazily but it will catch up quickly as soon as the queue
idles. This seems to be the best middle ground and I'll probably do
something similar for netmap tx as well.
e) Implement a faster tx path for WRQs (used by TOE tx and control
queues, _not_ by the normal NIC tx). Allow work requests to be written
directly to the hardware descriptor ring if room is available. I will
convert t4_tom and iw_cxgbe modules to this faster style gradually.
