b3974c00b5 Integrate the NDIS USB support code to CURRENT.
Now the NDISulator supports NDIS USB drivers that it've tested with
devices as follows:

  - Anygate XM-142 (Conexant)
  - Netgear WG111v2 (Realtek)
  - U-Khan UW-2054u (Marvell)
  - Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20 (Realtek)
  - ipTIME G054U2 (Ralink)
  - UNiCORN WL-54G (ZyDAS)
  - ZyXEL G-200v2 (ZyDAS)

All of them succeeded to attach and worked though there are still some
problems that it's expected to be solved.

To use NDIS USB support, you should rebuild and install ndiscvt(8) and
if you encounter a problem to attach please set `hw.ndisusb.halt' to
0 then retry.

I expect no changes of the NDIS code for PCI, PCMCIA devices.

a91395a9d0 Tests with my dual Opteron system have shown that it's possible
for code to start out on one CPU when thunking into Windows
mode in ctxsw_utow(), and then be pre-empted and migrated to another
CPU before thunking back to UNIX mode in ctxsw_wtou(). This is
bad, because then we can end up looking at the wrong 'thread environment
block' when trying to come back to UNIX mode. To avoid this, we now
pin ourselves to the current CPU when thunking into Windows code.

Few other cleanups, since I'm here:

- Get rid of the ndis_isr(), ndis_enable_interrupt() and
  ndis_disable_interrupt() wrappers from kern_ndis.c and just invoke
  the miniport's methods directly in the interrupt handling routines
  in subr_ndis.c. We may as well lose the function call overhead,
  since we don't need to export these things outside of ndis.ko
  now anyway.

- Remove call to ndis_enable_interrupt() from ndis_init() in if_ndis.c.
  We don't need to do it there anyway (the miniport init routine handles
  it, if needed).

- Fix the logic in NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() a little.

- Change some NDIS_STATUS_xxx codes in subr_ntoskrnl.c into STATUS_xxx
  codes.

- Handle kthread_create() failure correctly in PsCreateSystemThread().

a3ced67adf Another round of cleanups and fixes:
- Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't
  run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held).

- In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in
  a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because
  ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This
  implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is
  being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding
  any locks.

- Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original
  approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning
  the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when
  two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable
  interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the
  NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr())
  and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or
  remove interrupts from the dispatch list.

- Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock().

- Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock
  API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin().

- Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual
  packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines
  to manage the packet queue.

- Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
  for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create
  a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation
  says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
  is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is
  a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.)

- Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl.

- Add the following conditional debugging code:
	NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers
	NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API
	NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long

- In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last,
  since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be
  started second and shut down next to last.

21628ddbd6 This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things.
First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling
implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in
favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was
really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as
Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that
wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents
'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If
a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block
any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it,
in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at
'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit
and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on
cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher
mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try
acquiring the spinlock.

Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all
threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with
the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes.

This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do
things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which
you're allowed to do in Windows.

Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling
and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep().
This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can
tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you
instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this
priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The
new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better
duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart.

I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code.
Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the
same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(),
which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(),
was also modified to perform a similar test.

I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names
as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and
RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item.

I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread()
and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic
did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to
queue up another DPC. It works correctly now.

I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and
modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to
use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme
used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko,
and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In
the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.)

NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject()
and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly
to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot
any problems with it that may arise.)

KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and
does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and
queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK
documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call
KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't.

The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API
directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in
that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer
code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using
timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails
to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race
is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly
seems to fix it.

I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to
translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines
(i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that
return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are
returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens
that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register,
and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving
%eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting
clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this
bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop
and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx
are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm
wrappers already handled everything correctly.

I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem()
instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible
deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves.

The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The
internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the
RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them.
This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules
regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors
the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for
NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't
own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335
driver.)

The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has
been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to
callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called.
(Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.)

I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be
built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only
WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled.

The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with
the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The
ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN
and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold.
The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is
always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on
the operations being performed in this order.

I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to
directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation()
methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts()
routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via
NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via
a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly
program the various crypto and key management options in the driver,
allowing things like WPA2 support to work.

Whew.

433d61bb56 Add support for NdisMEthIndicateReceive() and MiniportTransferData().
The Ralink RT2500 driver uses this API instead of NdisMIndicateReceivePacket().

Drivers use NdisMEthIndicateReceive() when they know they support
802.3 media and expect to hand their packets only protocols that want
to deal with that particular media type. With this API, the driver does
not manage its own NDIS_PACKET/NDIS_BUFFER structures. Instead, it
lets bound protocols have a peek at the data, and then they supply
an NDIS_PACKET/NDIS_BUFFER combo to the miniport driver, into which
it copies the packet data.

Drivers use NdisMIndicateReceivePacket() to allow their packets to
be read by any protocol, not just those bound to 802.3 media devices.

To make this work, we need an internal pool of NDIS_PACKETS for
receives. Currently, we check to see if the driver exports a
MiniportTransferData() method in its characteristics structure,
and only allocate the pool for drivers that have this method.

This should allow the RT2500 driver to work correctly, though I
still have to fix ndiscvt(8) to parse its .inf file properly.

Also, change kern_ndis.c:ndis_halt_nic() to reap timers before
acquiring NDIS_LOCK(), since the reaping process might entail sleeping
briefly (and we can't sleep with a lock held).

eb31d50cc7 Avoid sleeping with mutex held in kern_ndis.c.
Remove unused fields from ndis_miniport_block.

Fix a bug in KeFlushQueuedDpcs() (we weren't calculating the kq pointer
correctly).

In if_ndis.c, clear the IFF_RUNNING flag before calling ndis_halt_nic().

Add some guards in kern_ndis.c to avoid letting anyone invoke ndis_get_info()
or ndis_set_info() if the NIC isn't fully initialized. Apparently, mdnsd
will sometimes try to invoke the ndis_ioctl() routine at exactly the
wrong moment (to futz with its multicast filters) when the interface
comes up, and can trigger a crash unless we guard against it.

9b307fe2be This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big.
- Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in
  subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC
  API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can
  have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented:
  KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs().
  (This is the biggest change.)

- Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the
  nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set
  to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do
  this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn
  breaks cancelling timers.

- Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer
  queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both
  untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC
  that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of
  periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue.

- Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a
  queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior
  to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure
  any DPCs queued by the timers have expired.

- Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep
  track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory
  buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug
  in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong
  virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause
  a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading
  the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation
  of the API).

- Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid().

- Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and
  ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.)

- Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the
  ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses
  it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem()
  API.)

- Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling
  tasks.

With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin
F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson
(paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card
for testing.

d02239a3af Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking
layer, but with a twist.

The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured
exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling
is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the
Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs
register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture,
which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite
the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things.

To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in
the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context
switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor,
which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns,
or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently,
Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default.
I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I
couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly,
this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both
UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly
complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can
be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers.

(Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog
code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness
won't be necessary on that arch.)

The advantages are:

- Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't
  clobber pcpu.
- All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to
  gcc goes away.

Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using
nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate
than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers
I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss
in accuracy.

7c1968ad82 Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver
work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth,
I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best
efforts to confound and annoy me.

Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized
miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library
itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet
queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to
MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized.
This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft
introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft
still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers
written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros
wasn't listening when they said this.

This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to
MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer()
that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally
dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special
NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block:
the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the
miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization
lock during the timer callback.

Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_
driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some
reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze
or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!*
back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This
appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As
to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.)
I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock
condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three
weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts
to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally,
I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in
the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to
the source of the problem.

One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is
call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion
of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config
space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling
the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through
this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this
portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1
microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation().
Suddenly, the reset was gone!!

I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening
is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe
PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system,
and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card,
plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of
hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads
to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I
know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away.
(To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes
it good!")

Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to
initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of
the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the
MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits
were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will
call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet
resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses
the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some
of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also
sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are
now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit
packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time
a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts
be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted
NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data
from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket().
This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments
for a given packet, and botch the transmission.

Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy
on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be
happy too.

And there was much rejoicing.

Other stuff fixed along the way:

- Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This
  allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to
  avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that
  use the dispatcher lock.

- Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for
  'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation

- Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than
  calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps
  after 49.7 days.

- Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide
  all the MSCALL() goop.

- For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate
  function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86
  arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall.
  On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can
  just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock()
  and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.)

- Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're
  just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to
  move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c.

- Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t)
  when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the
  MmSizeOfMdl() routine.

- Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in
  subr_ndis.c.

- Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c.

- Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that
  I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore.
  This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported.

- Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in
  ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the
  wrapping for amd64.

7d962e5cc5 MAXPATHLEN is 1024, which means NdisOpenFile() and ndis_find_sym() were
both consuming 1K of stack space. This is unfriendly. Allocate the buffers
off the heap instead. It's a little slower, but these aren't performance
critical routines.

Also, add a spinlock to NdisAllocatePacketPool(), NdisAllocatePacket(),
NdisFreePacketPool() and NdisFreePacket(). The pool is maintained as a
linked list. I don't know for a fact that it can be corrupted, but why
take chances.

d8f2dda739 Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil.
Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx)
deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it
work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately.

The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different
calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using
6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack.
Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room
on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to
spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall
and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention.
This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the
driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have
to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself.

The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at
compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized
wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach:
the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at
runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as
it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the
wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping
routine is a no-op.)

There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for:

- KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper
  around KfAcquireSpinLock()
- NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole
  NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this.

Bugs fixed along the way:
- IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL
- kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object
  extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard)

This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g
chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.

b545a3b822 Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the
Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can
simulate driver stacking.

In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT
structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device
ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image
is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up
the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates
a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver
detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for
it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to
that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke
the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT
and the PDO.

The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of
its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and
corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses
IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the
driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers
in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack.
When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack
passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches
the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware)
at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves
driver layering.

Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent
handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the
creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also
does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry,
so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually,
the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from
the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported
device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it
to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call
our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block
is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows.
The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the
DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices
handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.)
We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the
stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created
for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB,
which will actually accept USB IRP.s

Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in
the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing
IRPs between drivers.

Various changes:

- corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more
  accurately reflect reality
- update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a
  global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it.
- Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing
  the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no
  longer used)
- implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(),
  IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(),
  IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(),
  IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(),
  IoInitializeIrp()
- fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions
- add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration
  and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in
  kern_ndis.c).
- made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers
  and modified all references to it
- fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they
  work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism
- changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver()
  (which is now deprecated)
- used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines
  instead of kludged up alloc/free routines
- added kern_windrv.c to sys/modules/ndis/Makefile and files.i386.

26805b1855 Apparently, the Intel icc compiler doesn't like it when you use
attributes in casts (i.e. foo = (__stdcall sometype)bar). This only
happens in two places where we need to set up function pointers, so
work around the problem with some void pointer magic.

df7b7cf4c3 Begin the first phase of trying to add IRP support (and ultimately
USB device support):

- Convert all of my locally chosen function names to their actual
  Windows equivalents, where applicable. This is a big no-op change
  since it doesn't affect functionality, but it helps avoid a bit
  of confusion (it's now a lot easier to see which functions are
  emulated Windows API routines and which are just locally defined).

- Turn ndis_buffer into an mdl, like it should have been. The structure
  is the same, but now it belongs to the subr_ntoskrnl module.

- Implement a bunch of MDL handling macros from Windows and use them where
  applicable.

- Correct the implementation of IoFreeMdl().

- Properly implement IoAllocateMdl() and MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool().

- Add the definitions for struct irp and struct driver_object.

- Add IMPORT_FUNC() and IMPORT_FUNC_MAP() macros to make formatting
  the module function tables a little cleaner. (Should also help
  with AMD64 support later on.)

- Fix if_ndis.c to use KeRaiseIrql() and KeLowerIrql() instead of
  the previous calls to hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() which
  have been renamed.

The function renaming generated a lot of churn here, but there should
be very little operational effect.

f454f98c31 Make the Texas Instruments 802.11g chipset work with the NDISulator.
This was tested with a Netgear WG311v2 802.11b/g PCI card. Things
that were fixed:

- This chip has two memory mapped regions, one at PCIR_BAR(0) and the
  other at PCIR_BAR(1). This is a little different from the other
  chips I've seen with two PCI shared memory regions, since they tend
  to have the second BAR ad PCIR_BAR(2). if_ndis_pci.c tests explicitly
  for PCIR_BAR(2). This has been changed to simply fill in ndis_res_mem
  first and ndis_res_altmem second, if a second shared memory range
  exists. Given that NDIS drivers seem to scan for BARs in ascending
  order, I think this should be ok.

- Fixed the code that tries to process firmware images that have been
  loaded as .ko files. To save a step, I was setting up the address
  mapping in ndis_open_file(), but ndis_map_file() flags pre-existing
  mappings as an error (to avoid duplicate mappings). Changed this so
  that the mapping is now donw in ndis_map_file() as expected.

- Made the typedef for 'driver_entry' explicitly include __stdcall
  to silence gcc warning in ndis_load_driver().

NOTE: the Texas Instruments ACX111 driver needs firmware. With my
card, there were 3 .bin files shipped with the driver. You must
either put these files in /compat/ndis or convert them with
ndiscvt -f and kldload them so the driver can use them. Without
the firmware image, the NIC won't work.

f13b900a9e Big mess 'o changes:
- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to process a .SYS file directly into
  a .o file so that we don't have to emit big messy char arrays into
  the ndis_driver_data.h file. This behavior is currently optional, but
  may become the default some day.

- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to turn arbitrary files into .ko files
  so that they can be pre-loaded or kldloaded. (Both this and the
  previous change involve using objcopy(1)).

- Give NdisOpenFile() the ability to 'read' files out of kernel memory
  that have been kldloaded or pre-loaded, and disallow the use of
  the normal vn_open() file opening method during bootstrap (when no
  filesystems have been mounted yet). Some people have reported that
  kldloading if_ndis.ko works fine when the system is running multiuser
  but causes a panic when the modile is pre-loaded by /boot/loader. This
  happens with drivers that need to use NdisOpenFile() to access
  external files (i.e. firmware images). NdisOpenFile() won't work
  during kernel bootstrapping because no filesystems have been mounted.
  To get around this, you can now do the following:

        o Say you have a firmware file called firmware.img
        o Do: ndiscvt -f firmware.img -- this creates firmware.img.ko
        o Put the firmware.img.ko in /boot/kernel
        o add firmware.img_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf
        o add if_ndis_load="YES" and ndis_load="YES" as well

  Now the loader will suck the additional file into memory as a .ko. The
  phony .ko has two symbols in it: filename_start and filename_end, which
  are generated by objcopy(1). ndis_open_file() will traverse each module
  in the module list looking for these symbols and, if it finds them, it'll
  use them to generate the file mapping address and length values that
  the caller of NdisOpenFile() wants.

  As a bonus, this will even work if the file has been statically linked
  into the kernel itself, since the "kernel" module is searched too.
  (ndiscvt(8) will generate both filename.o and filename.ko for you).

- Modify the mechanism used to provide make-pretend FASTCALL support.
  Rather than using inline assembly to yank the first two arguments
  out of %ecx and %edx, we now use the __regparm__(3) attribute (and
  the __stdcall__ attribute) and use some macro magic to re-order
  the arguments and provide dummy arguments as needed so that the
  arguments passed in registers end up in the right place. Change
  taken from DragonflyBSD version of the NDISulator.

7602de354f Make NdisReadPcmciaAttributeMemory() and NdisWritePcmciaAttributeMemory()
actually work.

Make the PCI and PCCARD attachments provide a bus_get_resource_list()
method so that resource listing for PCCARD works. PCCARD does not
have a bus_get_resource_list() method (yet), so I faked up the
resource list management in if_ndis_pccard.c, and added
bus_get_resource_list() methods to both if_ndis_pccard.c and if_ndis_pci.c.
The one in the PCI attechment just hands off to the PCI bus code.
The difference is transparent to the NDIS resource handler code.

Fixed ndis_open_file() so that opening files which live on NFS
filesystems work: pass an actual ucred structure to VOP_GETATTR()
(NFS explodes if the ucred structure is NOCRED).

Make NdisMMapIoSpace() handle mapping of PCMCIA attribute memory
resources correctly.

Turn subr_ndis.c:my_strcasecmp() into ndis_strcasecmp() and export
it so that if_ndis_pccard.c can use it, and junk the other copy
of my_strcasecmp() from if_ndis_pccard.c.

06794990cb Fix two problems:
- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_allocate_sharemem(), create the busdma tags
  used for shared memory allocations with a lowaddr of 0x3E7FFFFF.
  This forces the buffers to be mapped to physical/bus addresses within
  the first 1GB of physical memory. It seems that at least one card
  (Linksys Instant Wireless PCI V2.7) depends on this behavior. I
  don't know if this is a hardware restriction, or if the NDIS
  driver for this card is truncating the addresses itself, but using
  physical/bus addresses beyong the 1GB limit causes initialization
  failures.

- Create am NDIS_INITIALIZED() macro in if_ndisvar.h and use it in
  if_ndis.c to test whether the device has been initialized rather
  than checking for the presence of the IFF_UP flag in if_flags.
  While debugging the previous problem, I noticed that bringing
  up the device would always produce failures from ndis_setmulti().
  It turns out that the following steps now occur during device
  initialization:

	- IFF_UP flag is set in if_flags
	- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFADDR (which we don't handle)
	- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI
	- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (again)
	- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (yet again)
	- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFFLAGS

  Setting the receive filter and multicast filters can only be done
  when the underlying NDIS driver has been initialized, which is done
  by ifp->if_init(). However, we don't call ifp->if_init() until
  ifp->if_ioctl() is called with SIOCSIFFLAGS and IFF_UP has been
  set. It appears that now, the network stack tries to add multicast
  addresses to interface's filter before those steps occur. Normally,
  ndis_setmulti() would trap this condition by checking for the IFF_UP
  flag, but the network code has in fact set this flag already, so
  ndis_setmulti() is fooled into thinking the interface has been
  initialized when it really hasn't.

  It turns out this is usually harmless because the ifp->if_init()
  routine (in this case ndis_init()) will set up the multicast
  filter when it initializes the hardware anyway, and the underlying
  routines (ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info()) know that the driver/NIC
  haven't been initialized yet, but you end up spurious error messages
  on the console all the time.

Something tells me this new behavior isn't really correct. I think
the intention was to fix it so that ifp->if_init() is only called
once when we ifconfig an interface up, but the end result seems a
little bogus: the change of the IFF_UP flag should be propagated
down to the driver before calling any other ioctl() that might actually
require the hardware to be up and running.

2b94c69d1d Continue my efforts to imitate Windows as closely as possible by
attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ
from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD
spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts.
This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also
prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by
raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other
threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs
from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher
locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer
value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically
cleared when you release it.

FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by
using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL,
lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread
priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is
HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL
matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no
longer have to rely on a mutex pool.

Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize
me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but
it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway.

Overview of the changes:

- Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(),
  hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely
  resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by
  thread priority.

- Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do
  in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These
  routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are
  actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks.

- Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers
  that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact
  that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__))
  yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need
  to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really
  invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying
  functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for
  the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat.

- Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it
  anymore.

- Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock()
  and friends like they do in Windows.

- Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and
  linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there
  before.

- Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're
  already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c.

- Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif.
  It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory
  in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock()
  on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver
  is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I
  have no idea.)

- Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into
  real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock()
  and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use
  KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(),
  which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL.

- In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some
  drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of
  setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we
  might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal
  structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call
  ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway.

- Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(),
  and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft
  spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode;
  I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was
  having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel
  to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate
  in BSS mode.

- Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when
  calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation.

I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek
driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.

6a50285516 - The MiniportReset() function can return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING, in which
case we should wait for the resetdone handler to be called before
  returning.

- When providing resources via ndis_query_resources(), uses the
  computed rsclen when using bcopy() to copy out the resource data
  rather than the caller-supplied buffer length.

- Avoid using ndis_reset_nic() in if_ndis.c unless we really need
  to reset the NIC because of a problem.

- Allow interrupts to be fielded during ndis_attach(), at least
  as far as allowing ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() to run.

- Use ndis_80211_rates_ex when probing for supported rates. Technically,
  this isn't supposed to work since, although Microsoft added the extended
  rate structure with the NDIS 5.1 update, the spec still says that
  the OID_802_11_SUPPORTED_RATES OID uses ndis_80211_rates. In spite of
  this, it appears some drivers use it anyway.

- When adding in our guessed rates, check to see if they already exist
  so that we avoid any duplicates.

- Add a printf() to ndis_open_file() that alerts the user when a
  driver attempts to open a file under /compat/ndis.

With these changes, I can get the driver for the SMC 2802W 54g PCI
card to load and run. This board uses a Prism54G chip. Note that in
order for this driver to work, you must place the supplied smc2802w.arm
firmware image under /compat/ndis. (The firmware is not resident on
the device.)

Note that this should also allow the 3Com 3CRWE154G72 card to work
as well; as far as I can tell, these cards also use a Prism54G chip.

f6159e042d - Rewrite the timer and event API routines in subr_ndis.c so that they
are actually layered on top of the KeTimer API in subr_ntoskrnl.c, just
  as it is in Windows. This reduces code duplication and more closely
  imitates the way things are done in Windows.

- Modify ndis_encode_parm() to deal with the case where we have
  a registry key expressed as a hex value ("0x1") which is being
  read via NdisReadConfiguration() as an int. Previously, we tried
  to decode things like "0x1" with strtol() using a base of 10, which
  would always yield 0. This is what was causing problems with the
  Intel 2200BG Centrino 802.11g driver: the .inf file that comes
  with it has a key called RadioEnable with a value of 0x1. We
  incorrectly decoded this value to '0' when it was queried, hence
  the driver thought we wanted the radio turned off.

- In if_ndis.c, most drivers don't accept NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO,
  but NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_SHARED may not be right in some cases,
  so for now always use NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_OPEN.

NOTE: There is still one problem with the Intel 2200BG driver: it
happens that the kernel stack in Windows is larger than the kernel
stack in FreeBSD. The 2200BG driver sometimes eats up more than 2
pages of stack space, which can lead to a double fault panic.
For the moment, I got things to work by adding the following to
my kernel config file:

options         KSTACK_PAGES=8

I'm pretty sure 8 is too big; I just picked this value out of a hat
as a test, and it happened to work, so I left it. 4 pages might be
enough. Unfortunately, I don't think you can dynamically give a
thread a larger stack, so I'm not sure how to handle this short of
putting a note in the man page about it and dealing with the flood
of mail from people who never read man pages.

134164f8d3 Fix a problem with the way we schedule work on the NDIS worker threads.
The Am1771 driver will sometimes do the following:

- Some thread-> NdisScheduleWorkItem(some work)
- Worker thread -> do some work, KeWaitForSingleObject(some event)
- Some other thread -> NdisScheduleWorkItem(some other work)

When the second call to NdisScheduleWorkItem() occurs, the NDIS worker
thread (in our case ndis taskqueue) is suspended in KeWaitForSingleObject()
and waiting for an event to be signaled. This is different from when
the worker thread is idle and waiting on NdisScheduleWorkItem() to
send it more jobs. However, the ndis_sched() function in kern_ndis.c
always calls kthread_resume() when queueing a new job. Normally this
would be ok, but here this causes KeWaitForSingleObject() to return
prematurely, which is not what we want.

To fix this, the NDIS threads created by kern_ndis.c maintain a state
variable to indicate whether they are running (scanning the job list
and executing jobs) or sleeping (blocked on kthread_suspend() in
ndis_runq()), and ndis_sched() will only call kthread_resume() if
the thread is in the sleeping state.

Note that we can't just check to see if the thread is on the run queue:
in both cases, the thread is sleeping, but it's sleeping for different
reasons.

This stops the Am1771 driver from emitting various "NDIS ERROR" messages
and fixes some cases where it crashes.

9ec5585585 Add a whole bunch of new stuff to make the driver for the AMD Am1771/Am1772
802.11b chipset work. This chip is present on the SMC2602W version 3
NIC, which is what was used for testing. This driver creates kernel
threads (12 of them!) for various purposes, and required the following
routines:

PsCreateSystemThread()
PsTerminateSystemThread()
KeInitializeEvent()
KeSetEvent()
KeResetEvent()
KeInitializeMutex()
KeReleaseMutex()
KeWaitForSingleObject()
KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
IoGetDeviceProperty()

and several more. Also, this driver abuses the fact that NDIS events
and timers are actually Windows events and timers, and uses NDIS events
with KeWaitForSingleObject(). The NDIS event routines have been rewritten
to interface with the ntoskrnl module. Many routines with incorrect
prototypes have been cleaned up.

Also, this driver puts jobs on the NDIS taskqueue (via NdisScheduleWorkItem())
which block on events, and this interferes with the operation of
NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync(), which was also being put on the
NDIS taskqueue. To avoid the deadlock, NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
is now performed in the NDIS SWI thread instead.

There's still room for some cleanups here, and I really should implement
KeInitializeTimer() and friends.

581b0a24bc Reorganize the timer code a little and implement NdisInitializeTimer()
and NdisCancelTimer(). NdisInitializeTimer() doesn't accept an NDIS
miniport context argument, so we have to derive it from the timer
function context (which is supposed to be the adapter private context).
NdisCancelTimer is now an alias for NdisMCancelTimer().

Also add stubs for NdisMRegisterDevice() and NdisMDeregisterDevice().
These are no-ops for now, but will likely get fleshed in once I start
working on the Am1771/Am1772 wireless driver.

ed880bb60f Convert from using taskqueue_swi to using private kernel threads. The
problem with using taskqueue_swi is that some of the things we defer
into threads might block for up to several seconds. This is an unfriendly
thing to do to taskqueue_swi, since it is assumed the taskqueue threads
will execute fairly quickly once a task is submitted. Reorganized the
locking in if_ndis.c in the process.

Cleaned up ndis_write_cfg() and ndis_decode_parm() a little.

a971a19262 The ndis_kspin_lock type is called KSPIN_LOCK in MS-Windows.
According to the Windows DDK header files, KSPIN_LOCK is defined like this:
	typedef ULONG_PTR KSPIN_LOCK;

From basetsd.h (SDK, Feb. 2003):
	typedef [public] unsigned __int3264 ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
	typedef unsigned __int64 ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;
	typedef _W64 unsigned long ULONG_PTR, *PULONG_PTR;

The keyword __int3264 specifies an integral type that has the following
properties:
 + It is 32-bit on 32-bit platforms
 + It is 64-bit on 64-bit platforms
 + It is 32-bit on the wire for backward compatibility.
   It gets truncated on the sending side and extended appropriately
   (signed or unsigned) on the receiving side.

Thus register_t seems the proper mapping onto FreeBSD for spin locks.

60a9ef3d9c Merge in some changes submitted by Brian Feldman. Among other things,
these add support for listing BSSIDs via wicontrol -l. I added code
to call OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST_SCAN to allow scanning for any nearby
wirelsss nets.

Convert from using individual mutexes to a mutex pool, created in
subr_ndis.c. This deals with the problem of drivers creating locks
in their DriverEntry() routines which might get trashed later.

Put some messages under IFF_DEBUG.

e6003d0862 The private data section of ndis_packets has a 'packet flags' byte
which has two important flags in it: the 'allocated by NDIS' flag
and the 'media specific info present' flag. There are two Windows macros
for getting/setting media specific info fields within the ndis_packet
structure which can behave improperly if these flags are not initialized
correctly when a packet is allocated. It seems the correct thing
to do is always set the NDIS_PACKET_ALLOCATED_BY_NDIS flag on
all newly allocated packets.

This fixes the crashes with the Intel Centrino wireless driver.
My sample card now seems to work correctly.

Also, fix a potential LOR involving ndis_txeof() in if_ndis.c.

3e1b0c31a1 Correct the definition of the ndis_miniport_interrupt structure:
the ni_dpccountlock member is an ndis_kspin_lock, not an
ndis_spin_lock (the latter is too big).

Run if_ndis.c:ndis_tick() via taskqueue_schedule(). Also run
ndis_start() via taskqueue in certain circumstances.

Using these tweaks, I can now get the Broadcom BCM5701 NDIS
driver to load and run. Unfortunately, the version I have seems
to suffer from the same bug as the SMC 83820 driver, which is
that it creates a spinlock during its DriverEntry() routine.
I'm still debating the right way to deal with this.

09bebfadee - Add pe_get_message() and pe_get_messagetable() for processing
the RT_MESSAGETABLE resources that some driver binaries have.
  This allows us to print error messages in ndis_syslog().

- Correct the implementation of InterlockedIncrement() and
  InterlockedDecrement() -- they return uint32_t, not void.

- Correct the declarations of the 64-bit arithmetic shift
  routines in subr_ntoskrnl.c (_allshr, allshl, etc...). These
  do not follow the _stdcall convention: instead, they appear
  to be __attribute__((regparm(3)).

- Change the implementation of KeInitializeSpinLock(). There is
  no complementary KeFreeSpinLock() function, so creating a new
  mutex on each call to KeInitializeSpinLock() leaks resources
  when a driver is unloaded. For now, KeInitializeSpinLock()
  returns a handle to the ntoskrnl interlock mutex.

- Use a driver's MiniportDisableInterrupt() and MiniportEnableInterrupt()
  routines if they exist. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right
  yet, but at the very least this shouldn't break any currently
  working drivers, and it makes the Intel PRO/1000 driver work.

- In ndis_register_intr(), save some state that might be needed
  later, and save a pointer to the driver's interrupt structure
  in the ndis_miniport_block.

- Save a pointer to the driver image for use by ndis_syslog()
  when it calls pe_get_message().

209dd08745 Implement NdisScheduleWorkItem() and RtlCompareMemory().
Also, call the libinit and libfini routines from the modevent
handler in kern_ndis.c. This simplifies the initialization a little.

8695252e67 - Add new 802.11 OID information obtained from NDIS 5.1 update to
ndis_var.h
- In kern_ndis.c:ndis_send_packets(), avoid dereferencing NULL pointers
  created when the driver's send routine immediately calls the txeof
  handler (which releases the packets for us anyway).
- In if_ndis.c:ndis_80211_setstate(), implement WEP support.

1e642180fe Back out the last batch of changes until I have a chance to properly
evaluate them. Whatever they're meant to do, they're doing it wrong.

Also:

- Clean up last bits of NULL fallout in subr_pe
- Don't let ndis_ifmedia_sts() do anything if the IFF_UP flag isn't set
- Implement NdisSystemProcessorCount() and NdisQueryMapRegisterCount().

38f5ddc909 Don't call the miniport driver's releasepacket function unless the
packet being freed has NDIS_STATUS_PENDING in the status field of
the OOB data.  Finish implementing the "alternative" packet-releasing
function so it doesn't crash.

For those that are curious about ndis0: <ORiNOCO 802.11abg ComboCard Gold>:
1123 packets transmitted, 1120 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.837/6.146/13.919/1.925 ms

Not bad!

8cb4c5760a Give the timer API one last overhaul: this time, use the new callout
API instead of the old timeout/untimeout mechanism.

72b926ae1a Avoid using any of the ndis_packet/ndis_packet_private fields for
mbuf<->packet housekeeping. Instead, add a couple of extra fields
to the end of ndis_packet. These should be invisible to the Windows
driver module.

This also lets me get rid of a little bit of evil from ndis_ptom()
(frobbing of the ext_buf field instead of relying on the MEXTADD()
macro).

de87c787f3 - Fix some compiler warnings in subr_pe.c
- Add explicit cardbus attachment in if_ndis.c
- Clean up after moving bus_setup_intr() in ndis_attach().
- When setting an ssid, program an empty ssid as a 1-byte string
  with a single 0 byte. The Microsoft documentation says this is
  how you're supposed to tell the NIC to attach to 'any' ssid.
- Keep trace of callout handles for timers externally from the
  ndis_miniport_timer structs, and run through and clobber them
  all after invoking the haltfunc just in case the driver left one
  running. (We need to make sure all timers are cancelled on driver
  unload.)
- Handle the 'cancelled' argument in ndis_cancel_timer() correctly.

ffc0badf60 Correct the definitions for NDIS_80211_NET_INFRA_IBSS and
NDIS_80211_NET_INFRA_BSS: I accidentally reversed them during
transcription from the Microsoft headers. Note that the
driver will default to BSS mode, and you need to specify
'mediaopt adhoc' to get it into IBSS mode.

b4f5e8d8cd Big round of updates:
- Make ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info() sleep on the setdone/getdone
  routines if they get back NDIS_STATUS_PENDING.

- Add a bunch of net80211 support so that 802.11 cards can be twiddled
  with ifconfig. This still needs more work and is not guaranteed to
  work for everyone. It works on my 802.11b/g card anyway.

The problem here is Microsoft doesn't provide a good way to a) learn
all the rates that a card supports (if it has more than 8, you're
kinda hosed) and b) doesn't provide a good way to distinguish between
802.11b, 802.11b/g an 802.11a/b/g cards, so you sort of have to guess.

Setting the SSID and switching between infrastructure/adhoc modes
should work. WEP still needs to be implemented. I can't find any API
for getting/setting the channel other than the registry/sysctl keys.

53947bb732 Rework mbuf<->ndis_packet/ndis_packet<->mbuf translation a little to
make it more robust. This should fix problems with crashes under
heavy traffic loads that have been reported. Also add a 'query done'
callback handler to satisfy the e100bex.sys sample Intel driver.
