Even though I tested the 1-byte operations on arbitrarily aligned bytes,
it seems I did not do this for the 2-byte operations.
Create easy to read functions that are used to get/put bytes and
halfwords in words. To keep the compiler happy, explicitly read two
bytes into a union to obtain a 16-bit value.

To make <stdatomic.h> work on MIPS (and ARM) using GCC, we need to
provide implementations of the __sync_*() functions. I already added
these functions for 4 and 8 byte types to libcompiler-rt some time ago,
based on top of <machine/atomic.h>.
Unfortunately, <machine/atomic.h> only provides a subset of the features
needed to implement <stdatomic.h>. This means that in some cases we had
to do compare-and-exchange calls in loops, where a simple ll/sc would
suffice.
Also implement these functions for 1 and 2 byte types. MIPS only
provides ll/sc instructions for 4 and 8 byte types, but this is of
course no limitation. We can simply load 4 bytes and use some bitmask
tricks to modify only the bytes affected.

* Illumos ZFS issue #3805 arc shouldn't cache freed blocks
Quote from the Illumos issue:
ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache.
Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus
will eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory
inefficiently for 2 reasons:
1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but
will be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed
before it (and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has
at least some chance of being accessed again.
2. We partition the ARC into several buckets:
user data that has been accessed only once (MRU)
metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU)
user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the
primary control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata
is to simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the
past (each bucket "evicts against" itself). The secondary control is
to evict data before evicting metadata.
Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly
containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has
more recently accessed, still-allocated blocks. Data in the useful
bucket (with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to
data in the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks).
On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the
MFU data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB.
However, the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB)
was freed blocks, and thus useless. Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket
(230MB) was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed.
The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more
investigation. However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should
reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.

The "find node" function call will increase the node reference anyway;
so there's no reason to hold the node table lock during the MLME change.
The only reason I could think of is to stop overlapping mlme ioctls
from causing issues, but this should be fixed a different way.
This fixes a whole class of LORs that creep up when nodes are being
timed out or removed by hostapd.

for the WB195 combo NIC - an AR9285 w/ an AR3011 USB bluetooth NIC.
The AR3011 is wired up using a 3-wire coexistence scheme to the AR9285.
The code in if_ath_btcoex.c sets up the initial hardware mapping
and coexistence configuration. There's nothing special about it -
it's static; it doesn't try to configure bluetooth / MAC traffic priorities
or try to figure out what's actually going on. It's enough to stop basic
bluetooth traffic from causing traffic stalls and diassociation from
the wireless network.
To use this code, you must have the above NIC. No, it won't work
for the AR9287+AR3012, nor the AR9485, AR9462 or AR955x combo cards.
Then you set a kernel hint before boot or before kldload, where 'X'
is the unit number of your AR9285 NIC:
# kenv hint.ath.X.btcoex_profile=wb195
This will then appear in your boot messages:
[100482] athX: Enabling WB195 BTCOEX
This code is going to evolve pretty quickly (well, depending upon my
spare time) so don't assume the btcoex API is going to stay stable.
In order to use the bluetooth side, you must also load in firmware using
ath3kfw and the binary firmware file (ath3k-1.fw in my case.)
Tested:
* AR9280, no interference
* WB195 - AR9285 + AR3011 combo; STA mode; basic bluetooth inquiries
were enough to cause traffic stalls and disassociations. This has
stopped with the btcoex profile code.
TODO:
* Importantly - the AR9285 needs ASPM disabled if bluetooth coexistence
is enabled. No, I don't know why. It's likely some kind of bug to do
with the AR3011 sending bluetooth coexistence signals whilst the device
is asleep. Since we don't actually sleep the MAC just yet, it shouldn't
be a problem. That said, to be totally correct:
+ ASPM should be disabled - upon attach and wakeup
+ The PCIe powersave HAL code should never be called
Look at what the ath9k driver does for inspiration.
* Add WB197 (AR9287+AR3012) support
* Add support for the AR9485, which is another combo like the AR9285
* The later NICs have a different signaling mechanism between the MAC
and the bluetooth device; I haven't even begun to experiment with
making that HAL code work. But it should be a lot more automatic.
* The hardware can do much more interesting traffic weighting with
bluetooth and wifi traffic. None of this is currently used.
Ideally someone would code up something to watch the bluetooth traffic
GPIO (via an interrupt) and then watch it go high/low; then figure out
what the bluetooth traffic is and adjust things appropriately.
* If I get the time I may add in some code to at least track this stuff
and expose statistics. But it's up to someone else to experiment with
the bluetooth coexistence support and add the interesting stuff (like
"real" detection of bulk, audio, etc bluetooth traffic patterns and
change wifi parameters appropriately - eg, maximum aggregate length,
transmit power, using quiet time to control TX duty cycle, etc.)
* Call the bluetooth setup function during the reset path, so the bluetooth
settings are actually initialised.
* Call the AR9285 diversity functions during bluetooth setup; so the AR9285
diversity and antenna configuration registers are correctly programmed
* Misc debugging info.
Tested:
* AR9285+AR3011 bluetooth combo; this code itself doesn't enable bluetooth
coexistence but it's part of what I'm currently using.
implemented as a 10 bits linear feedback shift register so only

Because this register is used to initialize random backoff interval
register only when resolved duplex is half-duplex, it wouldn't have

Reporting link status in driver has a side-effect that makes mii(4)
check current link status. mii(4) will call link status change
callback when it sees link state change. Normally this wouldn't
have problems. However, ASF/IPMI firmware can actively access PHY
regardless of driver's running state such that reporting link
status for not-running interface can generate meaningless link
UP/DOWN messages.
This change also makes dhclient think driver got a valid link
regardless of link establishment so it will bypass dhclient's
initial link status check. I think that wouldn't be issue
though.

Now that I understand what's going on - and the RX antenna array maps

- feature: add glue for 'indirect' buffers on the sender side:
if a slot has NS_INDIRECT set, the netmap buffer contains pointer(s)
to the actual userspace buffers, which are accessed with copyin().
The feature is not finalised yet, as it will likely need to deal
with some iovec variant for proper scatter/gather support.
This will save one copy for clients (e.g. qemu) that cannot
use the netmap buffer directly.
A curiosity: on amd64 copyin() appears to be 10-15% faster than pkt_copy()
or bcopy() at least for sizes of 256 and greater.
the RX antenna field.
The AR9285/AR9485 use an LNA mixer to determine how to combine the signals
from the two antennas. This is encoded in the RSSI fields (ctl/ext) for
chain 2. So, let's use that here.
This maps RX antennas 0->3 to the RX mixer configuration used to
receive a frame. There's more that can be done but this is good enough
to diagnose if the hardware is doing "odd" things like trying to
receive frames on LNA2 (ie, antenna 2 or "alt" antenna) when there's
only one antenna connected.
Tested:
* AR9285, STA mode

This is different to the div comb HAL flag, that says it actually

Fix uninitialized memory reference in mps_read_config_page. It was
referencing a field (params->hdr.Ext.ExtPageType) that would only be
set when reading an Extended config page. The symptom was that
MPSIO_READ_CFG_PAGE ioctls would randomly fail with
MPI2_IOCSTATUS_CONFIG_INVALID_PAGE errors. The solution is to
determine whether an extended or an ordinary config page is requested
by looking at the PageType field, which should be available regardless.
Similarly, mps_user_read_extcfg_header and mps_user_read_extcfg_page,
which call mps_read_config_page, had to be fixed to always set the
PageType field. They were implicitly assuming that
mps_read_config_page always operated on Extended pages.
