vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

For compatibility, 'device windtunnel' is still supported, but one should use
'device adm1030' instead, and this has been updated in GENERIC and NOTES.
The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

syscalls themselves are tightly coupled with the network stack and
therefore should not be in the generic socket code.
The following four syscalls have been marked as NOSTD so they can be
dynamically registered in sctp_syscalls_init() function:
sys_sctp_peeloff
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg
sys_sctp_generic_sendmsg_iov
sys_sctp_generic_recvmsg
The syscalls are also set up to be dynamically registered when COMPAT32
option is configured.
As a side effect of moving the SCTP syscalls, getsock_cap needs to be
made available outside of the uipc_syscalls.c source file. A proper
prototype has been added to the sys/socketvar.h header file.
API tests from the SCTP reference implementation have been run to ensure
compatibility. (http://code.google.com/p/sctp-refimpl/source/checkout)

This device is used by the user-space daemon that runs xenstore
(xenstored). It allows xenstored to map the xenstore memory page, and
reports the event channel xenstore is using.
Sponsored by: Citrix Systems R&D
dev/xen/xenstore/xenstored_dev.c:
- Add the xenstored character device that's used to map the xenstore
memory into user-space, and to report the event channel used by
xenstore.
conf/files:
- Add the device to the build process.
Move xenstore related devices (xenstore.c and xenstore_dev.c) from
xen/xenstore to dev/xen/xenstore. This is just code motion, no
functional changes.

This patch adds support for MSI interrupts when running on Xen. Apart
from adding the Xen related code needed in order to register MSI
interrupts this patch also makes the msi_init function a hook in
init_ops, so different MSI implementations can have different
initialization functions.

xen/interface/physdev.h:
- Add the MAP_PIRQ_TYPE_MULTI_MSI to map multi-vector MSI to the Xen
public interface.
x86/include/init.h:
- Add a hook for setting custom msi_init methods.
amd64/amd64/machdep.c:
i386/i386/machdep.c:
- Set the default msi_init hook to point to the native MSI
initialization method.
x86/xen/pv.c:
- Set the Xen MSI init hook when running as a Xen guest.
x86/x86/local_apic.c:
- Call the msi_init hook instead of directly calling msi_init.
xen/xen_intr.h:
x86/xen/xen_intr.c:
- Introduce support for registering/releasing MSI interrupts with
Xen.
- The MSI interrupts will use the same PIC as the IO APIC interrupts.
xen/xen_msi.h:
x86/xen/xen_msi.c:
- Introduce a Xen MSI implementation.
x86/xen/xen_nexus.c:
- Overwrite the default MSI hooks in the Xen Nexus to use the Xen MSI
implementation.
x86/xen/xen_pci.c:
- Introduce a Xen specific PCI bus that inherits from the ACPI PCI
bus and overwrites the native MSI methods.
- This is needed because when running under Xen the MSI messages used
to configure MSI interrupts on PCI devices are written by Xen
itself.
dev/acpica/acpi_pci.c:
- Lower the quality of the ACPI PCI bus so the newly introduced Xen
PCI bus can take over when needed.
conf/files.i386:
conf/files.amd64:
- Add the newly created files to the build process.
- Use bus_*() instead of bus_space_*().
- Use device_printf().
- Remove unused global variables and the extra warning suppression
they required.
- Use callout() instead of timeout().

For now restrict it to amd64. Other architectures might be
re-added later once tested.
Remove the drivers from the global NOTES and files files and move
them to the amd64 specifics.
Remove the drivers from the i386 modules build and only leave the
amd64 version.
Rather than depending on "inet" depend on "pci" and make sure that
ixl(4) and ixlv(4) can be compiled independently [2]. This also
allows the drivers to build properly on IPv4-only or IPv6-only
kernels.

The flowdirector feature shares on-chip memory with other things
such as the RX buffers. In theory it should be configured in a way
that doesn't interfere with the rest of operation. In practice,
the RX buffer calculation didn't take the flow-director allocation
into account and there'd be overlap. This lead to various garbage
frames being received containing what looks like internal NIC state.
What _I_ saw was traffic ending up in the wrong RX queues.
If I was doing a UDP traffic test with only one NIC ring receiving
traffic, everything is fine. If I fired up a second UDP stream
which came in on another ring, there'd be a few percent of traffic
from both rings ending up in the wrong ring. Ie, the RSS hash would
indicate it was supposed to come in ring X, but it'd come in ring Y.
However, when the allocation was fixed up, the developers at Verisign
still saw traffic stalls.
The flowdirector feature ends up fiddling with the NIC to do various
attempts at load balancing connections by populating flow table rules
based on sampled traffic. It's likely that all of that has to be
carefully reviewed and made less "magic".
So for now the flow director feature is disabled (which fixes both
what I was seeing and what they were seeing) until it's all much
more debugged and verified.
Tested:
* (me) 82599EB 2x10G NIC, RSS UDP testing.
* (verisign) not sure on the NIC (but likely 82599), 100k-200k/sec TCP
transaction tests.

many thanks for their continued support of FreeBSD.
While I'm there, also implement a new build knob, WITHOUT_HYPERV to
disable building and installing of the HyperV utilities when necessary.
The HyperV utilities are only built for i386 and amd64 targets.
This is a stable/10 candidate for inclusion with 10.1-RELEASE.

PCI IDs into quirks, which mostly fit (though you'd get no argument
from me that AHCI_Q_SATA1_UNIT0 is oddly specific). Set these quirks
in the PCI attachment. Make some shared functions public so that PCI
and possibly other bus attachments can use them.
The split isn't perfect yet, but it is functional. The split will be
perfected as other bus attachments for AHCI are written.
