6ddce9039b Major update of the ATA RAID code, part 1:
Overhaul of the attach/detach code and structures, there were some nasty
bugs in the old implementation. This made it possible to collapse the
ATA/ATAPI device control structures into one generic structure.

A note here, the kernel is NOT ready for detach of active devices,
it fails all over in random places, but for inactive devices it works.
However for ATA RAID this works, since the RAID abstration layer
insulates the buggy^H^H^H^H^H^Hfragile device subsystem from the
physical disks.

Proberly detect the RAID's from the BIOS, and mark critical RAID1
arrays as such, but continue if there is enough of the mirror left
to do so.

Properly fail arrays on a live system. For RAID0 that means return EIO,
and for RAID1 it means continue on the still working part of the mirror
if possible, else return EIO.
If the state changes, log this to the console.

Allow for Promise & Highpoint controllers/arrays to coexist on the
same machine. It is not possible to distribute arrays over different
makes of controllers though.

If Promise SuperSwap enclosures are used, signal disk state on the
status LED on the front.

Misc fixes that I had lying around for various minor bugs.

Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

see atacontrol(8) for more.

Also the ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA, ATA_ENABLE_WC and ATA_ENABLE_TAGS
options are gone, use the tuneables listed in ata.4 instead from
the loader (this makes it possible to switch off DMA before the
driver has to touch the devices on broken hardware).

8ea3ce2aac Refine the detach/attach code.
Proberly fail outstanding bio requests on devices that are detached.

This makes it possible to change between disk/cdrom/dvd/whathaveyou
in a notebook, just by suspending it, changing the device in the
bay (or what you model calls it), unsuspend and the ATA driver
will figure out what disappeared and properly fail those, and attach
any new devices found.

8563f77dc9 Add support for tagged queuing on ATA drives. There is only support for
IBM's DPTA and DTLA series of drives (no other disk vendors are known
to support this) on non-Promise controllers (promise controllers lockup
when given the tagged queuing specific commands).
It gives especially master/slave comboes about 5% better performance.

Add support for the Promise ATA100 OEM chip (pdc20265)

Add support for the Cyrix 5530

Change the way status is read from the drives, use the alternate
status reg when possible.

Better support for DEVFS, the acdXtY devices are now created when needed.

Lots of little cleanups.

9626b608de Separate the struct bio related stuff out of <sys/buf.h> into
<sys/bio.h>.

<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall
not be made a nested include according to bdes teachings on the
subject of nested includes.

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.

Still a few bogus uses of struct buf to track down.

21144e3bf1 Remove B_READ, B_WRITE and B_FREEBUF and replace them with a new
field in struct buf: b_iocmd.  The b_iocmd is enforced to have
exactly one bit set.

B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding
mistakes.

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue.  It is likely to write on your disk
where it should have been reading.

This change is a step in the direction towards a stackable BIO capability.

A lot of this patch were machine generated (Thanks to style(9) compliance!)

fe08efdcfb General cleanup.
Dont be so verbose in the probe, only ONE line printed now, to get more
info boot verbose. Centralise most printf's in ata-all & ata-dma to use
the ata_printf function, it saves alot of codelines.

Repeat the identify command if drive fails the first.

Protect the timeout functions with splbio.

Dont update the transfer details before we are sure the transfer
succeded, this way they are proberly retried on errors.

Move the handling of next_writeable to userland.

Use the READ_CD command to read CD's. That enables us to read _anything_
via the normal read/write interface. This kindof obsoletes the READAUDIO
ioctl, but we keep that for now.

on all combinations (I hope)...

Add DMA support for the AMD 756 chip (K7 chipset) this is actually the
same as the VIA 82C686 chip (the ATA part that is).

Treat the intel MX chipset PIIX as a PIIX4

Allow UDMA on all disks that say they can handle it.

dbdfe960cb Have another go at the VIA support, this time use the PCI ID form the
main component in the southbridge chip to determine which VIA chip
we are dealing with.

Søren Schmidt
54ecff8b84 Add DMA support for the SiS 5591 and old PIIX chipsets.
Add a missing DELAY(1) in ata_wait.

Change the info from ad_version, so the ATA version from the disk can
be used to quantify the DAM modes valid for this drive, ie be more
selective with turning DMA on on older disks that should not support it..

Fix the probe for BIOS enabled DMA in the generic case, master/slave
was reversed in the test.

Check the return for ata_command in all cases, and print warnings if
it fails.

Call ata_dmainit with all dmamodes off when falling back to PIO mode,
that should take care of both the Promise & HPT366 controllers not
being able to handle the fallback...

Cleanup the printf's in the drivers, use the prober device name (if
possible) instead of ataN-master/slave.

their HotRod controller and on SIIG PCI ultra DMA controller. These
changes also made lots of the Promise code go away, its all much more
generic this way.

Get rid of atapi_immed_cmd, instead use the queue to move atapi commands
from interrupt context if nessesary, the entire atapi layer has
gotten an overhaul.

Lots of fixes to utililize the new features in subr_disk.c etc, and
get rid of the last biots of softc arrays in the drivers, the
only one left is atadevices which cannot easily go away (yet).

Use our own malloc names, its a lot easier to track memory usage this way.

3427651043 Ten'th update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
It been awhile since the last major update, as a benefit there
are some cool things in this one (and new bugs probably :) )...

The ATA driver has grown "real" timeout support for all devices.
This means that it should be possible to get in contact with
(especially) lost ATAPI devices. It also means that the ATA
driver is now usable on notebooks as it will DTRT on resume.

An experimental hack at utilizing the Promise66's at UDMA66 is
in there, but I cant test it. If someone feels like sending
me one, give me a ping.

The ATAPI DMA enableling scheme has been changed, also better DMA
support for the Aladdin chipset has been implemented for ATAPI
devices. Note that the Aladdin apparently only can do DMA reads
on ATAPI devices, and the Promise cant do ATAPI DMA at all.
I have seen problems on some ATAPI devices that should be able
to run in DMA mode, so if you encounter problems with hanging
atapi devices during the probe, or during access, disable DMA
in atapi-all.c, and let me know. It might be nessesary to do this
via a "white list" for known good devices...

The ATAPI CDROM driver can now use eject/close without hanging and
the bug that caused reading beyond the end of a CD has been fixed.
Media change is also handled proberly. DVD drives are identified
and are usable as CDROM devices at least, I dont have the HW to
test this further, see above :).

The ATAPI tape driver has gotten some support for using the DSC
method for not blocking the IDE channel during read/write when
the device has full buffers. It knows about the OnStream DI-30
device, support is not completed yet, but it can function as a
primitive backup medium, without filemarks, and without bad media
handeling. This is because the OnStream device doesn't handle this
(like everybody else) in HW. It also now supports getting/setting
the record position on devices that supports it.

Some rather major cleanups and rearrangements as well (cvs -b diff
is your freind). I'm closing in on declaring this for beta code,
most of the infrastruture is in place by now.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still alpha level code.
This driver can hose your disk real bad if anything goes wrong, but
now you have been warned :)

But please tell me how it works for you!

Enjoy!

Diskslice/label code not yet handled.

Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)

Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c

The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.

A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.

A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().

c4217f94eb Nine'th update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
The atapi subsystem has gotten better error handeling and timeouts,
it also tries a REQUEST SENSE command when devices returns errors,
to give a little more info as to what went wrong. It might be a
little verbose for now, but I'm interested in as much feedback on
errors as possible, especially timeouts, as I'm a bit in doubt if
I've chosen resonable default values everywhere.

The disk driver has been changed a bit to prepare for tagged queing,
which is next on my list.

The disk driver has grown a dump routine, I got one implementation
from Darrell Anderson <anderson@cs.duke.edu> which also did
partial dumps (usefull on big memory machines) I left out the
partial stuff for now, and changed the rest alot to fit into the new
ad_request framework.

Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...

But please tell me how it works for you!

2447bec829 Simplify cdevsw registration.
The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it.  cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.

cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.

Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables.  Most places they were used
bogusly.  Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.

Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006

This commit removes:
        72 bogus makedev() calls
        26 bogus SYSINIT functions

if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.

55bfaed1c0 Fourth update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:
Well, better late than newer, but things has been hectic
around here, sorry for the long delay.

DMA support has been added to the ATA disk driver.
This only works on Intel PIIX3/4, Acer Aladdin and Promise controllers.
The promise support works without the BIOS on the board,
and timing modes are set to support up to UDMA speed. This
solves the problems with having more than one promise controller
in the same system.
There is support for "generic" DMA, that might work on other
controllers, but now you have been warned :)
More chipset specific code will come soon, I have to find testers
with the approbiate HW, more on that when I have it ready.

The system now uses its own major numbers, please run MAKEDEV
with the devices you need (ad?, acd?, afd?, ast?).
For now the disk driver will also attach to the old wd major
so one can at least boot without this step, but be warned, this
will eventually go away. The bootblocks will have to be changed
before one can boot directly from an "ad" device though.

Fixed problems:

    All known hang problems should be solved
	The probe code has been sligthly changed, this should solve
	the reports I have lying around (I hope).

    Hangs when accessing ata & atapi device on the same channel simultaniously.
	A real braino in ata_start caused this, fixed.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, agaiin you have been warned :)

But please tell me how it works for you!

reports on those most welcome!

Fixed problems:

    Hang on probe on "fantom" devices.
	The probe now use a timeout to avoid hangs if no interrupt

There has also been more general code clenaups, and some reorgs.

2e526e2ac0 Now all actual probing of both ATA & ATAPI devices are done after
interrupts are enabled, this kills the last "unwanted interrupts"
(and there is no ugly hacks like in the old driver to avoid them).
COmmand interrupt devices are now supported, this applies mostly
to older CDROM's and apparently also the ZIP.

Fixed problems:

    Number of total sectors wrong on some older drives.
        Fixed by not using the LBA size unless we know its valid.

There has also been more general code clenaups, some reorgs also.

b9bb98b32b Added driver to support ATAPI floppies ie LS-120 & ZIP drives.
Added "options ATA_STATIC_ID" that wires ATA disks like the old wd driver.

Fixed problems:

	Dont use more sectors/intr than the drive supports.
	Fix announce of > 8.4G disks.
	Dont call ad_interrupt/ad_transfer when no disks config'd.
	Use the right page# for CDR write mode params.
	Fix breakage when no PCI support in kernel.
	Implement DEVFS stuff.

General code clenaup.

8b89ef0a2d Finally!!
The much roumored replacement for our current IDE/ATA/ATAPI is
materialising in the CVS repositories around the globe.

So what does this bring us:

A new reengineered ATA/ATAPI subsystem, that tries to overcome
most of the deficiencies with the current drivers.

It supports PCI as well as ISA devices without all the hackery
in ide_pci.c to make PCI devices look like ISA counterparts.

It doesn't have the excessive wait problem on probe, in fact you
shouldn't notice any delay when your devices are getting probed.

Probing and attaching of devices are postponed until interrupts
are enabled (well almost, not finished yet for disks), making
things alot cleaner.

Improved performance, although DMA support is still WIP and not
in this pre alpha release, worldstone is faster with the new
driver compared to the old even with DMA.

So what does it take away:

There is NO support for old MFM/RLL/ESDI disks.
There is NO support for bad144, if your disk is bad, ditch it, it has
already outgrown its internal spare sectors, and is dying.

For you to try this out, you will have to modify your kernel config
file to use the "ata" controller instead of all wdc? entries.

example:

# for a PCI only system (most modern machines)
controller 	ata0
device		atadisk0	# ATA disks
device		atapicd0	# ATAPI CDROM's
device		atapist0	# ATAPI tapes

#You should add the following on ISA systems:
controller	ata1	at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
controller	ata2	at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15

You can leave it all in there, the system knows how to manage.

For now this driver reuses the device entries from the old system
(that will probably change later), but remember that disks are
now numbered in the sequence they are found (like the SCSI system)
not as absolute positions as the old system.

Although I have tested this on all the systems I can get my hands on,
there might very well be gremlins in there, so use AT YOU OWN RISK!!
This is still WIP, so there are lots of rough edges and unfinished
things in there, and what I have in my lab might look very different
from whats in CVS at any given time. So please have all eventual
changes go through me, or chances are they just dissapears...

I would very much like to hear from you, both good and bad news
are very welcome.

Enjoy!!
