The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

new 1Gb server controller chip that will be going into production
soon.
BCM5725 combines MAC with triple-speed PHY, a Network Controller
Sideband Interface (NC-SI) and on-chip memory buffer in a single
device. BCM5725 has an Application Processing Engine (APE) that is
capable of on-chip management and offloading features. BCM5725
supports high-precision clock, time stamp registers for
receive/transmit packets and programmable trigger inputs and
watchdog timeouts. These new features are not yet supported by
bge(4).
Many thanks to Broadcom for continuing to support FreeBSD!

The read DMA request logic operation is based on having sufficient
available space in the transmit data buffer (TXMBUF) before a read
DMA can be requested. There are four read DMA channels that use
the TXMBUF, and the logic checks if the available free space in the
TXMBUF is large enough for all the data in the four Send Buffers
for which buffer descriptors have been fetched. The Enable_Request
signal is asserted only if the free TXMBUF space is larger than the
sum of the four DMA length registers. The power-up default value
of BGE_RDMA_LSO_CRPTEN_CTRL register bit 25 (bit 21 on BCM5720) is
zero, which selects the DMA length registers to connect to the
input of the adder block. The DMA length registers are
asynchronously reset following BCM5719/BCM5720 power-up, and due to
the lack of synchronous deassertion of the length registers reset
signal these resisters may contain uninitialized values following
the reset deassertion.
In the case of the failure the uninitialized DMA length register
values added up to more than the TXMBUF size, which prevented the
assertion of the Enable_Request signal and any subsequent read DMA
to start. This lockup condition is the root cause of failing to
generate any transmit traffic.
To workaround the issue, select alternate output of multiplexers
and transmit the first four Ethernet frames. This overwrites the
DMA length registers with valid values.

This change will enable IPMI access on 5717/5718/5719/5720 and 5761
controllers. Because ASF is not available when APE firmware is
present, bge_allow_asf tunable is ignored when driver detects APE
firmware. Also bge(4) no longer performs two resets(one blind
reset and the other reset with firmware in mind) in device attach.
Now bge(4) performs a reset with enough information in bge_reset().
The APE firmware also needs special handling to make suspend/resume
work but it was not implemented yet.
With this change, bge(4) should work on any 5717/5718/5719/5720
controllers. Special thanks to Mike Hibler at Emulab who setup
remote debugging on Dell R820. Without his help I couldn't be able
to address several issues happened on Dell Rx20 systems. And many

BGE_PCI_PCISTATE register before issuing global reset. After
issuing reset, it reads BGE_PCI_PCISTATE register again and
compares the saved register value and current value. It was used to
know whether the global reset operation was completed or not.
Unfortunately, this logic caused several issues on recent BCM5717/
5718/5719 and BCM5720 controllers. It seems APE firmware accesses
some registers while global reset is in progress such that reading
BGE_PCI_PCISTATE register after reset does not yield old pre-reset
state value. This resulted in consuming too much time in global
reset and sometimes it couldn't successfully complete reset.
The BGE_MISCCFG_RESET_CORE_CLOCKS of BGE_MISC_CFG register is
self-clearing bit so driver is able to know the reset completion.
But the core-lock reset will disable indirect/flat/standard access
modes such that driver cannot poll BGE_MISCCFG_RESET_CORE_CLOCKS
bit of BGE_MISC_CFG register. So just wait enough time for
core-clock reset to complete.
Data sheet says driver should wait 100us for PCI/PCI-X devices and
100ms for PCIe devices. I chose 1ms for PCI/PCI-X since this value
was used for many years in bge(4). For PCIe devices, use 100ms as
recommended by data sheet.
bge_chipinit() also cleared BGE_MAC_MODE register which shall clear
firmware configured mode information. I think this will result in
losing ASF/IPMI link in device attachment. Let bge_reset() honor
firmware configured BGE_MAC_MODE register and don't announce driver
is UP in bge_reset(). Firmware should have control over driver until
it's fully initialized by driver.
While I'm here, enable workaround for PCI-X BCM5704 A0 in
bge_reset(). This will prevent internal arbitration logic from
switching to the other DMA engine after a retry cycle.

For other PCIe devices, use 4096. And reprogram the maximum read

bge(4) sends BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE command to firmware every 2
seconds. BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE command requires 4 bytes data. This
data contains timeout value in seconds until the next
BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE command.
Broadcom recommends driver set the value 3 times longer than the
interval that it sends BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE. Currently bge(4) uses
3 seconds so probably we have to increase it in future and use
different ALIVE command(e.g. BGE_FW_CMD_DRV_ALIVE3).

make RX CPU handle a firmware command and the bit is automatically
cleared after RX CPU completed the command.
Generally firmware command takes the following steps.
1. Write BGE_SRAM_FW_CMD_MB with a command.
2. Write BGE_SRAM_FW_CMD_LEN_MB with the length of the command in bytes.
3. Write BGE_SRAM_FW_CMD_DATA_MB with actual command data.

Define driver's event rather than using hard-coded values. We don't

Previously bge(4) used BGE_SDI_STATUS to send events. Because driver

BGE_SDI_STATUS register was wrong. The end result was the same as
BGE_SDI_STATUS is 0x0C04.

Unlike other controllers which have more advanced jumbo support,
these controllers have one send ring, one standard receive producer
ring and one receive return ring. In order to receive jumbo frames
on the controllers, driver now will increase Rx buffer size to 9k.
Two Rx modes are supported on these controllers and I chose
standard Rx BDs over extended Rx BDs. The extended Rx BD mode
allows up to 4 segmentations for each Rx BDs such that kernel does
not have to allocate large buffer of contiguous memory for
receiving. The extended Rx BD mode is already used on controllers
that have separate jumbo receive ring. However, using extended Rx
BDs on BCM5714/BCM5715/BCM5780 reduces the number of Rx BDs to 256
entries which in turn may reduce the performance. Also UMA backed
page allocator for jumbo frame returns contiguous memory so using
extended Rx BD has no advantage on FreeBSD unless highly customized
local allocator implemented in driver is used.
To use jumbo buffers in standard receive ring, Rx buffer allocation
handler was changed to allocate MJUM9BYTES sized mbuf.

This family is the successor to the BCM5714/BCM5715 family and
supports IPv4/IPv6 checksum offloading, TSO, VLAN hardware tagging,
jumbo frames, MSI/MSIX, IOV, RSS and TSS.
This change set supports all hardware features except IOV and
RSS/TSS. Unlike its predecessors, only extended RX buffer
descriptors can be posted to the jumbo producer ring. Single RX
buffer descriptors for jumbo frame are not supported. RSS requires
a more substantial set of changes and will apply to a larger set
of NetXtreme devices so RSS/TSS multi-queue support will be
implemented in a future releases.

in subsequent valid frames being dropped due to insufficient

the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).
