Overview
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.
The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.
The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.
Project Goals
This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations
* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms
Program Members:
* Rasool Al Saadi (developer)
* Grenville Armitage (project lead)

This code comes from https://github.com/sagigrimberg/iser-freebsd, branch
iser-rebase-11-current-r291993. It's not connected to the build just yet;
it still needs some tweaks to adapt to my changes to iSCSI infrastructure.

This patchset adds support to bhnd_chipc for sharing SYS_RES_MEMORY
resources with its children, allowing us to hang devices off of
bhnd_chipc that rely on access to a subset of the device register space
that bhnd_chipc itself must also allocate.
We could avoid most of this heavy lifting if RF_SHAREABLE+SYS_RES_MEMORY
wasn't limited to use with allocations at the same size/offset.
As a work-around, I implemented something similar to vga_pci.c, which
implements similar reference counting of of PCI BAR resources for its
children.
With these changes, chipc will use reference counting of SYS_RES_MEMORY
allocation/activation requests, to decide when to allocate/activate/
deactivate/release resources from the parent bhnd(4) bus.
The requesting child device is allocated a new resource from chipc's
rman, pointing to (possibly a subregion of) the refcounted bhnd resources
allocated by chipc.
Other resource types are just passed directly to the parent bhnd bus;
RF_SHAREABLE works just fine with IRQs.
I also lifted the SPROM device code out into a common driver, since this
now allows me to hang simple subclasses off of a common driver off of both
bhndb_pci and bhnd_chipc.
Tested:
* (landonf) Tested against BCM4331 and BCM4312, confirmed that SPROM still
attaches and can be queried.

* The default kernel and options won't build the GPL PHY bits;
* bwn(4) defaults to building as a module anyway!;
* If BWN_GPL_PHY is specified in the config file, and you uncomment
the GPL PHY bits in the module Makefile, you'll get a working
N-PHY.
This is specifically designed to be obtuse for now, as I don't want
to flip it on by default. It's easy enough for people to flip on
and build, and it's a module so the default GENERIC kernel won't be
GPL tainted.
I'll have to add an actual HAL layer that allows the GPL PHY to be loaded
before if_bwn so it can be "magic", but that'll come later.
Tested:
* BCM4321 11abg NIC, STA mode
Now that we've got access to SPROM and can access board identification,
this implements all known remaining hardware work-arounds for the bhnd(4)
PCI and PCIe-G1 cores operating endpoint mode.
Additionally, this adds an initial set of skeleton PCIe-G2 hostb and pcib
drivers, required by fullmac and newer softmac devices.

This adds support for the NVRAM handling and the basic SPROM
hardware used on siba(4) and bcma(4) devices, including:
* SPROM directly attached to the PCI core, accessible via PCI configuration
space.
* SPROM attached to later ChipCommon cores.
* SPROM variables vended from the parent SoC bus (e.g. via a directly-attached

Additional improvements to the NVRAM/SPROM interface will

* Add kernel options for bhnd, bhndbus, etc
* Add initial support in if_bwn_pci / if_bwn_mac for using bhnd
as the bus transport for suppoted NICs
* if_bwn_pci will eventually be the PCI bus glue to interface to bwn,
which will use the right backend bus to attach to, versus direct
nexus/bhnd attachments (as found in embedded broadcom devices.)
The PCI glue defaults to probing at a lower level than the bwn glue,
so bwn should still attach as per normal without a boot time tunable set.
It's also not fully fleshed out - the bwn probe/attach code needs to be
broken out into platform and bus specific things (just like ath, ath_pci,
ath_ahb) before we can shift the driver over to using this.

after r298107
Summary of changes:
- Replace all instances of FILES/TESTS with ${PACKAGE}FILES. This ensures that
namespacing is kept with FILES appropriately, and that this shouldn't need
to be repeated if the namespace changes -- only the definition of PACKAGE
needs to be changed
- Allow PACKAGE to be overridden by callers instead of forcing it to always be
`tests`. In the event we get to the point where things can be split up
enough in the base system, it would make more sense to group the tests
with the blocks they're a part of, e.g. byacc with byacc-tests, etc
- Remove PACKAGE definitions where possible, i.e. where FILES wasn't used
previously.
- Remove unnecessary TESTSPACKAGE definitions; this has been elided into
bsd.tests.mk
- Remove unnecessary BINDIRs used previously with ${PACKAGE}FILES;
${PACKAGE}FILESDIR is now automatically defined in bsd.test.mk.
- Fix installation of files under data/ subdirectories in lib/libc/tests/hash
and lib/libc/tests/net/getaddrinfo
- Remove unnecessary .include <bsd.own.mk>s (some opportunistic cleanup)
Document the proposed changes in share/examples/tests/tests/... via examples
so it's clear that ${PACKAGES}FILES is the suggested way forward in terms of
replacing FILES. share/mk/bsd.README didn't seem like the appropriate method
of communicating that info.

* Break out the 'g' phy code;
* Break out the debugging bits into a separate source file, since
some debugging prints are done in the phy code;
* Make some more chip methods in if_bwn.c public.
This brings the size of if_bwn.c down to 6,805 lines which is now
approaching managable.
This (and eventually migrating the other PHY code out) is in preparation
for adding the 11n PHY. No, the 11ac PHY (for the BCM4260 softmac part) isn't
yet open source, so we can't grow that. Yet.
This trims ~3,700 lines of code from if_bwn.c, bringing it down to a slightly
less crazy sounding 10,446 lines of code.
It seems that the only way to supply dtb to loader on Zynq-based
SoCs is to manually generate dtb and place it to pre-defined location
on SD card or TFTP server where loader can pick it up. More modern
approach is to add modules/dtb/%soc% module and let installworld
target generate dtb and copy them to /boot/dtb/ where they can be
loaded by ubldr
undefined symbol svr4_delete_socket which was moved from streams to the svr4 module
in r160558 that created a two-way dependency between them.

improve cancellation robustness.
Introduce a new file operation, fo_aio_queue, which is responsible for
queueing and completing an asynchronous I/O request for a given file.
The AIO subystem now exports library of routines to manipulate AIO
requests as well as the ability to run a handler function in the
"default" pool of AIO daemons to service a request.
A default implementation for file types which do not include an
fo_aio_queue method queues requests to the "default" pool invoking the
fo_read or fo_write methods as before.
The AIO subsystem permits file types to install a private "cancel"
routine when a request is queued to permit safe dequeueing and cleanup
of cancelled requests.
Sockets now use their own pool of AIO daemons and service per-socket
requests in FIFO order. Socket requests will not block indefinitely
permitting timely cancellation of all requests.
Due to the now-tight coupling of the AIO subsystem with file types,
the AIO subsystem is now a standard part of all kernels. The VFS_AIO
kernel option and aio.ko module are gone.
Many file types may block indefinitely in their fo_read or fo_write
callbacks resulting in a hung AIO daemon. This can result in hung
user processes (when processes attempt to cancel all outstanding
requests during exit) or a hung system. To protect against this, AIO
requests are only permitted for known "safe" files by default. AIO
requests for all file types can be enabled by setting the new
vfs.aio.enable_usafe sysctl to a non-zero value. The AIO tests have
been updated to skip operations on unsafe file types if the sysctl is
zero.
Currently, AIO requests on sockets and raw disks are considered safe
and are enabled by default. aio_mlock() is also enabled by default.

and geom_uncompress(4):
1. mkuzip(8):
- Proper support for eliminating all-zero blocks when compressing an
image. This feature is already supported by the geom_uzip(4) module
and CLOOP format in general, so it's just a matter of making mkuzip(8)
match. It should be noted, however that this feature while it sounds
great, results in very slight improvement in the overall compression
ratio, since compressing default 16k all-zero block produces only 39
bytes compressed output block, which is 99.8% compression ratio. With
typical average compression ratio of amd64 binaries and data being
around 60-70% the difference between 99.8% and 100.0% is not that
great further diluted by the ratio of number of zero blocks in the
uncompressed image to the overall number of blocks being less than
0.5 (typically). However, this may be important from performance
standpoint, so that kernel are not spinning its wheels decompressing
those empty blocks every time this zero region is read. It could also
be important when you create huge image mostly filled with zero
blocks for testing purposes.
- New feature allowing to de-duplicate output image. It turns out that
if you twist CLOOP format a bit you can do that as well. And unlike
zero-blocks elimination, this gives a noticeable improvement in the
overall compression ratio, reducing output image by something like
3-4% on my test UFS2 3GB image consisting of full FreeBSD base system
plus some of the packages (openjdk, apache etc), about 2.3GB worth of
file data (800+MB compressed). The only caveat is that images created
with this feature "on" would not work on older versions of FeeBSDxi
kernel, hence it's turned off by default.
- provide options to control both features and document them in manual
page.
- merge in all relevant LZMA compression support from the mkulzma(8),
add new option to select between both.
- switch license from ad-hoc beerware into standard 2-clause BSD.
2. geom_uzip(4):
- implement support for de-duplicated images;
- optimize some code paths to handle "all-zero" blocks without reading
any compressed data;
- beef up manual page to explain that geom_uzip(4) is not limited only
to md(4) images. The compressed data can be written to the block
device and accessed directly via magic of GEOM(4) and devfs(4),
including to mount root fs from a compressed drive.
- convert debug log code from being compiled in conditionally into
being present all the time and provide two sysctls to turn it on or
off. Due to intended use of the module, it can be used in
environments where there may not be a luxury to put new kernel with
debug code enabled. Having those options handy allows debug issues
without as much problem by just having access to serial console or
network shell access to a box/appliance. The resulting additional
CPU cycles are just few int comparisons and branches, and those are
minuscule when compared to data decompression which is the main
feature of the module.
- hopefully improve robustness and resiliency of the geom_uzip(4) by
performing some of the data validation / range checking on the TOC
entries and rejecting to attach to an image if those checks fail.
- merge in all relevant LZMA decompression support from the
geom_uncompress(4), enable automatically when appropriate format is
indicated in the header.
- move compilation work into its own worker thread so that it does not
clog g_up. This allows multiple instances work in parallel utilizing
smp cores.
- document new knobs in the manual page.

The licence grant says something exactly the same as the atheros patent
grant, which is "As long as you use this firmware on our chips, everything
is totally okay." Now, I'm pretty sure if that we /have/ to have this,
we're going to have to have it for every other firmware for every other
device in the tree.
So, I'll flip this off in -HEAD for now so people stop asking about
why rsu/urtwn don't work out of the box, and I'll kick off a larger
discussion about this in the new year.

On the host side this driver interfaces with the storage stack via the
ICL (iSCSI Common Layer) in the kernel. On the wire the traffic is
standard iSCSI (SCSI over TCP as per RFC 3720/7143 etc.) that
interoperates with all other standards compliant implementations. The
driver is layered on top of the TOE driver (t4_tom) and promotes
connections being handled by t4_tom to iSCSI ULP (Upper Layer Protocol)
mode. Hardware assistance in this mode includes:
- Full TCP processing.
- iSCSI PDU identification and recovery within the TCP stream.
- Header and/or data digest insertion (tx) and verification (rx).
- Zero copy (both tx and rx).
Man page will follow in a separate commit in a couple of weeks.

Introduce API for managing ACL table.
This API include the following features:
1) vlan filter - for VST/VGT+ support.
2) spoofcheck.
3) robust functionality to allow/drop general untagged/tagged traffic.
4) support for both ingress and egress ACL types.

- Added promiscuous mode set in the vPort context
- Set the vlan list in vPort context
1) Check caps if VLAN list is not longer than FW supports
2) Set MODIFY_NIC_VPORT_CONTEXT command
- Changed MLX5_EEPROM_MAX_BYTES from 48 to 32 so that a single EEPROM
reading cannot cross the 128-byte boundary. Previously reading the
MCIA register was done in batches of 48 bytes. The third reading
would then by-pass the 127th byte, which means that part of the low
page and part of the high page would be read at the same time, which
created a bug:
1st: 0-47 bytes
2nd: 48-95 bytes
3rd: 96-143 bytes

Since uether doesn't provide a way to announce driver specific offload

- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for

It turns out that it is pretty easy to make CloudABI work on ARM64. We
essentially only need to copy over the sysvec from AMD64 and ensure that
we use ARM64 specific registers.
As there is an overlap between function argument and return registers,
we do need to extend cloudabi64_schedtail() to only set its values if
we're actually forking. Not when we're creating a new thread.

In order to make it easier to support CloudABI on ARM64, move out all of
the bits from the AMD64 cloudabi_sysvec.c into a new file
cloudabi_module.c that would otherwise remain identical. This reduces
the AMD64 specific code to just ~160 lines.

Atheros.
Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original
Atheros open source driver circa 2008. This uses the early, pre-carl9170
atheros provided firmware.
It only supports 11bg at the moment. I've not tested it with 11a
(and so the TX rate control logic may be slightly wrong!) so if
you do have the dual-band version of this hardware please do let me know.
Tested:
* AR9170, TP-Link WN821N 2GHz.
TODO:
* Hook this up to a non-module build.
CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.
