cb6b8299fd ixl(4): Update to 1.7.12-k
Refresh upstream driver before impending conversion to iflib.

Major new features:

- Support for Fortville-based 25G adapters
- Support for I2C reads/writes

(To prevent getting or sending corrupt data, you should set
dev.ixl.0.debug.disable_fw_link_management=1 when using I2C
[this will disable link!], then set it to 0 when done. The driver implements
the SIOCGI2C ioctl, so ifconfig -v works for reading I2C data,
but there are read_i2c and write_i2c sysctls under the .debug sysctl tree
[the latter being useful for upper page support in QSFP+]).

- Addition of an iWARP client interface (so the future iWARP driver for
  X722 devices can communicate with the base driver).
  - Compiling this option in is enabled by default, with "options IXL_IW" in
    GENERIC.

bc3ad3a179 Add kernel interfaces to call EFI Runtime Services.
Runtime services require special execution environment for the call.
Besides that, OS must inform firmware about runtime virtual memory map
which will be active during the calls, with the SetVirtualAddressMap()
runtime call, done while the 1:1 mapping is still used.  There are two
complication: the SetVirtualAddressMap() effectively must be done from
loader, which needs to know kernel address map in advance.  More,
despite not explicitely mentioned in the specification, both 1:1 and
the map passed to SetVirtualAddressMap() must be active during the
SetVirtualAddressMap() call.  Second, there are buggy BIOSes which
require both mappings active during runtime calls as well, most likely
because they fail to identify all relocations to perform.

On amd64, we can get rid of both problems by providing 1:1 mapping for
the duration of runtime calls, by temprorary remapping user addresses.
As result, we avoid the need for loader to know about future kernel
address map, and avoid bugs in BIOSes.  Typically BIOS only maps
something in low 4G.  If not runtime bugs, we would take advantage of
the DMAP, as previous versions of this patch did.

Similar but more complicated trick can be used even for i386 and 32bit
runtime, if and when the EFI boot on i386 is supported.  We would need
a trampoline page, since potentially whole 4G of VA would be switched
on calls, instead of only userspace portion on amd64.

Context switches are disabled for the duration of the call, FPU access
is granted, and interrupts are not disabled.  The later is possible
because kernel is mapped during calls.

To test, the sysctl mib debug.efi_time is provided, setting it to 1
makes one call to EFI get_time() runtime service, on success the efitm
structure is printed to the control terminal.  Load efirt.ko, or add
EFIRT option to the kernel config, to enable code.

ef9461ba0e Add support for new Intel on-CPU Bull Mountain random number
generator, found on IvyBridge and supposedly later CPUs, accessible
with RDRAND instruction.

From the Intel whitepapers and articles about Bull Mountain, it seems
that we do not need to perform post-processing of RDRAND results, like
AES-encryption of the data with random IV and keys, which was done for
Padlock. Intel claims that sanitization is performed in hardware.

Make both Padlock and Bull Mountain random generators support code
covered by kernel config options, for the benefit of people who prefer
minimal kernels. Also add the tunables to disable hardware generator
even if detected.

longer serve any purpose.  Prior to r157446, they served a purpose
because there was a fixed amount of kernel virtual address space
reserved for pv entries at boot time.  However, since that change pv
entries are accessed through the direct map, and so there is no limit

The isci driver is for the integrated SAS controller in the Intel C600
(Patsburg) chipset.  Source files in sys/dev/isci directory are
FreeBSD-specific, and sys/dev/isci/scil subdirectory contains
an OS-agnostic library (SCIL) published by Intel to control the SAS
controller.  This library is used primarily as-is in this driver, with
some post-processing to better integrate into the kernel build
environment.

dc6fbf6545 * Completely Remove the option STOP_NMI from the kernel. This option
has proven to have a good effect when entering KDB by using a NMI,
but it completely violates all the good rules about interrupts
disabled while holding a spinlock in other occasions.  This can be the
cause of deadlocks on events where a normal IPI_STOP is expected.
* Adds an new IPI called IPI_STOP_HARD on all the supported architectures.
This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a
privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a
normal IPI_STOP.
Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64
architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is
responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop
when necessary and possible.
* Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel
function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but
it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility.
* Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave
stop_cpus() for all the other cases
* Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension.
* Style cleanup and comments adding

This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are
constantly reporting on mailing lists.

Please don't forget to update your config file with the STOP_NMI
option removal

dad3b6c6fd Back in the good old days, PC's had random pieces of rock for
frequency generation and what frequency the generated was anyones
guess.

In general the 32.768kHz RTC clock x-tal was the best, because that
was a regular wrist-watch Xtal, whereas the X-tal generating the
ISA bus frequency was much lower quality, often costing as much as
several cents a piece, so it made good sense to check the ISA bus
frequency against the RTC clock.

The other relevant property of those machines, is that they
typically had no more than 16MB RAM.

These days, CPU chips croak if their clocks are not tightly within
specs and all necessary frequencies are derived from the master
crystal by means if PLL's.

Considering that it takes on average 1.5 second to calibrate the
frequency of the i8254 counter, that more likely than not, we will
not actually use the result of the calibration, and as the final
clincher, we seldom use the i8254 for anything besides BEL in
syscons anyway, it has become time to drop the calibration code.

If you need to tell the system what frequency your i8254 runs,
you can do so from the loader using hw.i8254.freq or using the
sysctl kern.timecounter.tc.i8254.frequency.

3e3d9737c7 Allow the sio acpi attachment to be disabled (ie: use hints only). This
hack means you can get the units and flags to match up more easily with
serial consoles on machines with acpi tables that cause the com ports
to be probed in the wrong order (and hence get the wrong sio unit number).

This replaces the common alternative hack of editing the code to comment
out the acpi attachment.  This could go away entirely when device wiring
patches are committed.

58553b9925 Rename the KDB_STOP_NMI kernel option to STOP_NMI and make it apply to all
IPI_STOP IPIs.
- Change the i386 and amd64 MD IPI code to send an NMI if STOP_NMI is
  enabled if an attempt is made to send an IPI_STOP IPI.  If the kernel
  option is enabled, there is also a sysctl to change the behavior at
  runtime (debug.stop_cpus_with_nmi which defaults to enabled).  This
  includes removing stop_cpus_nmi() and making ipi_nmi_selected() a
  private function for i386 and amd64.
- Fix ipi_all(), ipi_all_but_self(), and ipi_self() on i386 and amd64 to
  properly handle bitmapped IPIs as well as IPI_STOP IPIs when STOP_NMI is
  enabled.
- Fix ipi_nmi_handler() to execute the restart function on the first CPU
  that is restarted making use of atomic_readandclear() rather than
  assuming that the BSP is always included in the set of restarted CPUs.
  Also, the NMI handler didn't clear the function pointer meaning that
  subsequent stop and restarts could execute the function again.
- Define a new macro HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS on i386 and amd64 to control the use
  of stoppedpcbs[] and always enable it for i386 and amd64 instead of

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.

d85631c4ac Add BASIC i386 binary support for the amd64 kernel. This is largely
stolen from the ia64/ia32 code (indeed there was a repocopy), but I've
redone the MD parts and added and fixed a few essential syscalls.  It
is sufficient to run i386 binaries like /bin/ls, /usr/bin/id (dynamic)
and p4.  The ia64 code has not implemented signal delivery, so I had
to do that.

Before you say it, yes, this does need to go in a common place.  But
we're in a freeze at the moment and I didn't want to risk breaking ia64.
I will sort this out after the freeze so that the common code is in a
common place.

On the AMD64 side, this required adding segment selector context switch
support and some other support infrastructure.  The %fs/%gs etc code
is hairy because loading %gs will clobber the kernel's current MSR_GSBASE
setting.  The segment selectors are not used by the kernel, so they're only
changed at context switch time or when changing modes.  This still needs
to be optimized.
