linux_file structure and use it instead of directly accessing td_fpop
when destroying the linux_file structure. The td_fpop pointer is not
valid when a cdevpriv destructor is run, and the type-specific close
method has already been called, so f_vnode may not be valid (and the
vnode might have been recycled without our own reference).

running state. fxp(4) requires controller reinitialization for the
following cases.
o RX lockup condition on i82557
o promiscuous mode change
o multicast filter change
o WOL configuration
o TSO/VLAN hardware tagging/checksum offloading configuration
o MAC reprogramming after speed/duplex/flow-control resolution
o Any events that result in MAC reprogramming(link UP/DOWN,
remote link partner's restart of auto-negotiation etc)
o Microcode loading/unloading
Apart from above cases which come from hardware limitation, upper
stack also blindly reinitializes controller whenever an IP address
is assigned. After r194573, fxp(4) no longer needs to reinitialize
the controller to program multicast filter after upping the
interface. So keeping track of driver running state should remove
all unnecessary controller reinitializations.
This change will also address endless controller reinitialization
triggered by dhclient(8).

when booting from ZFS turned out to also cause the boot path not being
adjusted if booting from CD-ROM with firmware versions that do not employ
the "cdrom" alias in that case. So shuffle the code around instead in order
to achieve the original intent. Ideally, we shouldn't fiddle with the boot
path when booting from UFS on a disk either; unfortunately, there doesn't
seem to be an universal way of telling disks and CD-ROMs apart, though. [1]

This allows setting attributes on tables. One simply does not provide
an index in that case. Otherwise the entry corresponding the index has
the attribute set or unset.
Use this change to fix a relatively longstanding bug in our GPT scheme
that's the result of rev 198097 (relatively harmless) followed by rev
237057 (damaging). The damaging part being that our GPT scheme always
has the active flag set on the PMBR slice. This is in violation with
EFI. Existing EFI implementions for both x86 and ia64 reject the GPT.
As such, GPT disks created by us aren't usable under EFI because of
that.
After this change, GPT disks never have the active flag set on the PMBR
slice. In order to make the GPT disk bootable under some x86 BIOSes,
the reason of rev 198097, one must now set the active attribute on the
gpt table. The kernel will apply this to the PMBR slice For (S)ATA:
gpart set -a active ada0
To fix an existing GPT disk that has the active flag set in the PMBR,
and that does not need the flag, use (again for (S)ATA):
gpart unset -a active ada0
The EBR, MBR & PC98 schemes, which also impement at least 1 attribute,
now check to make sure the entry passed is valid. They do not have
attributes that apply to the table.
The superblock in ext2fs defines all the fields as unsigned but for
some reason the in-memory superblock was carrying e2fs_bpg and
e2fs_isize as signed.
We should preserve the specified types for consistency.

After pushing in my fix for the 2 byte functions, I realized that the
functions for 1 and 2 byte operations had become identical. Reduce the
code size by merging the functions for 1 and 2 byte operations together.
While there, slightly improve variable naming and comments.
This is based on the AR933x (Hornet) SoC from Qualcomm Atheros.
It's a much nicer board to do development on - 64MB RAM, 16MB flash.
The development board breaks out the GPIO pins, ethernet, serial (via
a USB<->RS232 chip), USB host and of course a small wifi antenna.
Everything but the wifi works thus far.
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.
Tested:
* AR5416, hostap, with nodes coming and going. No LORs or stability
issues were observed.
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
lower 10 bits are valid.
Because this register is used to initialize random backoff interval
register only when resolved duplex is half-duplex, it wouldn't have
caused issues in these days.
