An extra copy of the system call gate was added to the default LDT back
in 1996 (r18513 / r18514). However, the ability to run BSD/OS 2.1
i386 binaries under FreeBSD's native ABI is most likely no longer
needed.
Discussed with: kib
In r315866, we introduced a direct read of the 8-bit sromrev field from the
memory mapped SPROM/OTP device. On OTP devices that require 16-bit access
alignment, this read fails, preventing identification of the SPROM layout.
So, let's perform an aligned read of the combined 16-bit sromrev/crc field
instead.

The upgrade process requires COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to support the combination
of "old" userland and "new" kernel that exists after "make kernel" and
reboot. Mention this explicitly for those using custom kernel configs.
Once the "new" world is installed the COMPAT_FREEBSD11 could be removed
again, but that does not seem necessary to mention in UPDATING.

The existing upgrade process documented in UPDATING is both necessary
and sufficient for upgrading across the ino64 change. However, the
shortcut of installing both kernel + world before a single reboot has
been possible for quite some time, and several developers and users
were surprised by fallout from ino64. Add an explicit entry pointing
out that the full process must be followed.

The original blacklist library supported two notification types:
- failed auth attempt, which incremented the failed login count
by one for the remote address
- successful auth attempt, which reset the failed login count
to zero for that remote address
When the failed login count reached the limit in the configuration
file, the remote address would be blocked by a packet filter.
This patch implements a new notification type, "abusive behavior",
and accepts, but does not act on an additional type, "bad username".
It is envisioned that a system administrator will configure a small
list of "known bad usernames" that should be blocked immediately.

This is no-op and only for reference: the S/390 port seems to be elusive
in the BSDs so it is convenient to keep some trace from past efforts.
It is likely newer attempts will focus on a newer toolchain using clang
instead.

Fix warnings about:
- redundant declarations
- a local variable shadowing a global function (dlinfo)
- an old-style function definition (with an empty parameter list)
- a variable that is possibly used uninitialized
"make tinderbox" passes this time, except for a few unrelated
kernel failures.

There are two possible ways how crypto callback are called: directly from
caller and deffered from crypto thread.
For outbound packets the direct call chain is the following:
IPSEC_OUTPUT() method -> ipsec[46]_common_output() ->
-> ipsec[46]_perform_request() -> xform_output() ->
-> crypto_dispatch() -> crypto_invoke() -> crypto_done() ->
-> xform_output_cb() -> ipsec_process_done() -> ip[6]_output().
The SA and SP references are held while crypto processing is not finished.
The error handling code wrongly expected that crypto callback always called
from the crypto thread context, and it did references releasing in
xform_output_cb(). But when the crypto callback called directly, in case of
error the error handling code in ipsec[46]_perform_request() also did
references releasing.
To fix this, remove error handling from ipsec[46]_perform_request() and do it
in xform_output() before crypto_dispatch().

Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

The (eventually) upcoming ath(4) changes will include being able to load
ath(4) devices on the AHB bus (ie the on-die wifi part of the SoC)
as modules.
In order for this to happen, a copy of the calibration data needs to be
copied away before the SPI driver runs or the memory map access hack
won't work.
Now, ideally (!) there'd be some driver that can come up after the MTD
pieces (eg, SPI, NAND, etc) and load into a firmware chunk the calibration
data.
(Or, really really nicely, would be an actual async firmware API that
would lead itself to having a driver schedule a file read - or a raw device
read - to get to the calibration data.)
Now, until all of the above is done - I'm going to perpetuate the layer
breaking atrocity here by simply doing the PCI bus fixup EEPROM/calibration
data hack here. This will work for any AR71xx (and later on, AR231x/AR531x)
device, as well as the handful of QCA MIPS + QCA9880v2 802.11ac boards with
NOR flash.
To use, this goes into the kernel config:
# Enable EEPROM hacks
options AR71XX_ATH_EEPROM
device ar71xx_caldata
device firmware
# This enables the ath_ahb driver (when I commit the change!) to
# pull data out of the firmware hack.
options ATH_EEPROM_FIRMWARE
In the hints file:
# ART calibration data mapping device
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.at="nexus0"
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.order=0
# Where the ART is - last 64k in the first 8MB of flash
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.map.0.ath_fixup_addr=0x1fff0000
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.map.0.ath_fixup_size=16384
# And now tell the ath(4) driver where to look!
hint.ath.0.eeprom_firmware="ar71xx_caldata.0.map.0.eeprom_firmware"
Tested:
* carambola2, AR933x SoC, using a set of ath and ath_hal modules to load
TODO:
* unify this bit of firmware loading code, as I will definitely need
to include both the PCI bus firmware version (for PCI ID fixups too!)
as well as AHB/on-chip calibration data.
* Commit the ath_ahb bus code
* Convert .. everything over. That'll take the majority of the time.
