Relnotes: yes
but has some retries.
Without this, single frame transmission in AMPDU will always look like
it succeeded fine, and thus AMRR will think it's totally fine to just
keep upping the rate upwards.
Now, this is still not quite right! For multi-frame aggregates the
completion happens in two parts - the TX done and the BA received.
The driver is currently double accounting those a little - there's no
way to say to the rate control code "I completed X frames, Y worked fine,
there were Z retries." And it's a bit odd with iwn, as the firmware
retransmits frames for us so we don't get to see how many retransmits
happened; only that it took longer than normal. I may have to extend
the rate control API to properly track that.
So this may keep the rate lower than it should be, but that's better
than keeping it higher than it should be.
Tested:
* 5100, STA mode
in preparation for the 5300 3x3 NIC.
During this particular adventure, I did indeed discover that a whole
swath of things made little to no sense.
Those included, and are fixed here:
* A lot of the antenna configuration bits assume the NIC has two receive
chains. That's blatantly untrue for NICs that don't.
* There was some disconnect between the antenna configuration when
forming a PLCP rate DWORD (which includes the transmit antenna
configuration), separate to the link quality antenna configuration.
So now there's helper functions to return which antenna configurations
to use and those are used wherever an antenna config is required.
* The 5300 does up to three stream TX/RX (so MCS0->23), however
the link quality table has only 16 slots. This means all of the
rate entries are .. well, dual-stream rates. If this is the case,
the "last MIMO" parameter can't be 16 or it panics the firmware.
Set it to 15.
* .. and since yes it has 16 slots, it only would try retransmitting
from MCS8->MCS23, which can be quite .. terrible. Hard-code the last
two retry slots to be the lowest configured rate.
* I noticed some transmit configuration command stuff is different
based on firmware API version, so I lifted that code from Linux.
* Add / augment some more logging to make it easier to capture this
stuff.
Now, 3x3 is still terrible because the link quality configuration is
plainly not good enough. I'll have to think about that.
However, the original goal of this - 3x3 operation on the Intel
5300 NIC - actually worked.
There are also rate control bugs in the way this driver handles
notifying the net80211 rate control code when AMPDU is enabled.
It always steps the rate up to the maximum rate possible - and
this eventually ends in much sadness. I'll fix that later.
As a side note - 2GHz HT40 now works on all the NICs I have tested.
As a second side note - this exposed some bad 3x3 behaviour in
the ath(4) rate control code where it starts off at a 3-stream rate
and doesn't downgrade quickly enough. This makes the initial
dhcp exchange take a long time. I'll fix the ath(4) rate code
to start at a low fixed 1x1 MCS rate and step up if everything
works out.

There were two issues:
1. The area given to vt_is_cursor_in_area() was adding the drawable
area offset, something already handled by this function.
2. The cursor was shifted on the screen by the offset of this area
and thus was misplaced or not erased. Furthermore, when reaching
the bottom or right borders, the cursor was either totally
removed or not erased correctly.

With the current implementation, this allows an X11 server to tell
the console it switches a particular window in "graphics mode". This
information is used by the mouse handling code to ignore sysmouse events
in the window taken by the X server: only him should receive those
events.

... not just the visible part.
This fixes a bug where, when switching from eg. vt_vga to vt_fb (ie. the
resolution goes up), the originally hidden, uninitialized area of the
buffer is displayed on the screen. This leads to a missing text cursor
when it's over an unitialized area.
This was also visible when selecting text: the uninitialized area was
not highlighted.
Internally, this area was zeroed: characters were all 0x00000000,
meaning the foreground and background color was black. Now, everything
is filled with a space with a gray foreground color, like the visible
area.
While here, remove the check for the mute flag and always use
TERMINAL_NORM_ATTR as the character attribute (ie. gray foreground,
black background).

"vm_paging_target() > 0" was a reasonable way of determining if the
inactive queue scan met its target. However, now that other threads
can be allocating pages while the inactive queue scan is running, it's
an unreliable method. The effect of it being unreliable is that we
can start swapping out processes when we didn't intend to.
This issue has existed since the kernel was multithreaded, but the
changes to the inactive queue target in 10.0-RELEASE have made its
effects visible.
This change introduces a more direct method for determining if the
inactive queue scan met its target that is not affected by the actions
of other threads.

The Qualcomm Atheros reference design code goes through significant
hacks to shut down RX before TX. It doesn't even try do do it in the
driver - it actually makes the DMA stop routines in the HAL shut down
RX before shutting down TX.

it in the driver. Shuffle the TX stop/drain HAL calls to be called
