in preparation for the 5300 3x3 NIC.
During this particular adventure, I did indeed discover that a whole
swath of things made little to no sense.
Those included, and are fixed here:
* A lot of the antenna configuration bits assume the NIC has two receive
chains. That's blatantly untrue for NICs that don't.
* There was some disconnect between the antenna configuration when
forming a PLCP rate DWORD (which includes the transmit antenna
configuration), separate to the link quality antenna configuration.
So now there's helper functions to return which antenna configurations
to use and those are used wherever an antenna config is required.
* The 5300 does up to three stream TX/RX (so MCS0->23), however
the link quality table has only 16 slots. This means all of the
rate entries are .. well, dual-stream rates. If this is the case,
the "last MIMO" parameter can't be 16 or it panics the firmware.
Set it to 15.
* .. and since yes it has 16 slots, it only would try retransmitting
from MCS8->MCS23, which can be quite .. terrible. Hard-code the last
two retry slots to be the lowest configured rate.
* I noticed some transmit configuration command stuff is different
based on firmware API version, so I lifted that code from Linux.
* Add / augment some more logging to make it easier to capture this
stuff.
Now, 3x3 is still terrible because the link quality configuration is
plainly not good enough. I'll have to think about that.
However, the original goal of this - 3x3 operation on the Intel
5300 NIC - actually worked.
There are also rate control bugs in the way this driver handles
notifying the net80211 rate control code when AMPDU is enabled.
It always steps the rate up to the maximum rate possible - and
this eventually ends in much sadness. I'll fix that later.
As a side note - 2GHz HT40 now works on all the NICs I have tested.
As a second side note - this exposed some bad 3x3 behaviour in
the ath(4) rate control code where it starts off at a 3-stream rate
and doesn't downgrade quickly enough. This makes the initial
dhcp exchange take a long time. I'll fix the ath(4) rate code
to start at a low fixed 1x1 MCS rate and step up if everything
works out.
Tested:
* Intel 2200
* Intel 2230
* Intel 5300
* Intel 5100
* Intel 6205
* Intel 100
TODO:
* Test the other NICs more thoroughly!
Thank you to Michael Kosarev <russiane39@gmail.com> for donating the
Intel 5300 NIC and pestering me about it since last year to try and
make it all work.
There were two issues:
1. The area given to vt_is_cursor_in_area() was adding the drawable
area offset, something already handled by this function.
2. The cursor was shifted on the screen by the offset of this area
and thus was misplaced or not erased. Furthermore, when reaching
the bottom or right borders, the cursor was either totally
removed or not erased correctly.

The timer is restarted whenever a window buffer is marked as dirty or
the mouse cursor moves.
There's still room for improvement. For instance, we should not mark a
window buffer as dirty when this window isn't displayed.

With the current implementation, this allows an X11 server to tell
the console it switches a particular window in "graphics mode". This
information is used by the mouse handling code to ignore sysmouse events
in the window taken by the X server: only him should receive those

... not just the visible part.
This fixes a bug where, when switching from eg. vt_vga to vt_fb (ie. the
resolution goes up), the originally hidden, uninitialized area of the
buffer is displayed on the screen. This leads to a missing text cursor
when it's over an unitialized area.
This was also visible when selecting text: the uninitialized area was
not highlighted.
Internally, this area was zeroed: characters were all 0x00000000,
meaning the foreground and background color was black. Now, everything
is filled with a space with a gray foreground color, like the visible
area.
While here, remove the check for the mute flag and always use
TERMINAL_NORM_ATTR as the character attribute (ie. gray foreground,
black background).

to get upset.
The Qualcomm Atheros reference design code goes through significant
hacks to shut down RX before TX. It doesn't even try do do it in the
driver - it actually makes the DMA stop routines in the HAL shut down
RX before shutting down TX.
So, to make this work for chips that aren't the AR9380 and later, do
it in the driver. Shuffle the TX stop/drain HAL calls to be called
*after* the RX stop HAL call.
Tested:
* AR5413 (STA)
* AR5212 (STA)
* AR5416 (STA)
* AR9380 (STA)
* AR9331 (AP)
* AR9341 (AP)
TODO:

There were situations where the cursor was not erased/redrawn or its
position was marked as dirty even though it's not displayed. The code is
now more straightforward.
At the same, add a function to determine if the cursor covers a given
area. This is used by backends to know if they need to draw the cursor.
This new function should be paired with a new state in struct vt_device,
called vd_mshown, which indicates if the cursor should be displayed.
This again simplifies vd_bitblt_text_t callback's API.

In textmode, no font is loaded, thus the page fault in
vt_mark_mouse_position_as_dirty() when it wants the font width/height.
For now, create a fake area for the textmode. This needs to be modified

While here, fix a build failure when SC_NO_CUTPASTE is defined:

- It was decided to change the driver name to if_ixl for FreeBSD
- This release adds the VF Driver to the tree, it can be built into
the kernel or as the if_ixlv module
- The VF driver is independent for the first time, this will be
desireable when full SRIOV capability is added to the OS.
- Thanks to my new coworker Eric Joyner for his superb work in
both the core and vf driver code.

This fixes a bug when two windows use different fonts, but a longer-term
solution is required. The dirty area should be stored as pixels, not
character cells, because such coordinates don't have the same meaning in
all windows, when using different fonts.
MFC after: 1 week
Compared to the deprecated vd_bitbltchr_t callback, vd_bitblt_text_t
receives:
o the whole text buffer
o the dirty area
o the mouse cursor (map, position, colors)
This allows the backend to perform optimization on how to draw things.
The goal is to remove vd_bitbltchr_t and vd_putchar_t, once all driver
are converted (only vt_vga is included in this commit).
In vt_vga, this allows to draw the text and the cursor in one pass,
without ever reading from video memory (because it has all the context).
The main benefit is the speed improvement: no more slideshow during
boot!
Other bugs fixed in vt_vga are:
o left-most characters are drawn properly (the left-most pixels were
missing with bold characters and some wide letters such as 'm')
o no more black square around the cursor
o no cursor flickering when the text is scrolling
There are still many problems to fix: the known issues are marked with
"FIXME" inside the code.

At the same time, "w" and "h" members are now called "width" and

Later, we just see if the "struct mouse_cursor" pointer is set. This
