The code previously assumed that copyin/copyout did no
address translation and that the device tree blob could
be manipulated in-place (with only a few adjustments for
the ELF loader offset). This isn't possible on all platforms,
so the revised code uses copyout() to copy the device tree
blob into a heap-allocated buffer and then updates the
device tree with copyout(). This isn't ideal, since it
bloats the loader memory usage, but seems the only feasible
approach (short of rewriting all of the fdt manipulation
routines).
8.x code:
- If the lock cannot be acquired immediately unlocks 'bar' vnode
and then locks both vnodes in order.
- wrong vnode type panics from cache_enter_time after calls by
ext2_lookup.
The fix merges the fixes from ufs/ufs_lookup.c.

* Change the definition of ath_debug and ath_softc.sc_debug from
int to uint64_t;
* Change the relevant sysctls;
* Add a new BAR TX debugging field;
* Use this in if_ath_tx.
This has been tested by using the sysctl program, which happily allows
for fields > 32 bits to be configured.
Although I _should_ handle the other errors in various ways (specifically
errors like FILT), treating them as having transmitted successfully
is completely wrong. Here, they'd be counted as successful and the BAW
would be advanced.. but the RX side wouldn't have received them.
The specific errors I've been seeing here are HAL_TXERR_FILT.
This patch does fix the issue - I've tested it using -i 0.001 pings
(enough to start aggregation) and now the behaviour is correct:
* The RX side never sees a "moved window" error, and
* The TX side sends BARs as needed, with the RX side correctly handling
them.

on Oracle's DTrace wiki pages.
Note that for compatibility with scripts originally written for Solaris,
serveral probes are defined that will never fire. These probes are defined
to fire when Solaris-specific features perform certain actions. As these
features are not present in FreeBSD, the probes can never fire.
Also, I have added a two probes that are not defined in Solaris, lend-pri
and load-change. These probes have been added to make it possible to
collect schedgraph data with DTrace.
Finally, a few probes are defined in Solaris to take a cpuinfo_t *

FreeBSD, currently those probes are passed NULL in place of a cpuinfo_t *.

Contrary to the other devices, I left the interrupt processing for loop

Since any thread can call VOP_PUTPAGES() to write back a

write access to the file on an NFS server. (Often the uid

Although there is no completely correct fix for this
(NFS servers check access on every write RPC instead of at
open/mmap time), this patch avoids the common cases by
holding onto a credential that recently opened the file
for writing and uses that credential for the write RPCs
being done by VOP_PUTPAGES() for both NFS clients.

This way with the new zfsloader there is no need to explicitly set zfs

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific

are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger

Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.

The register values and CPU port / mirror port initialisation value was
obtained from Linux OpenWRT ag71xx_ar7240.c.
The DELAY(1000) to let things settle is my local workaround. For some
reason, PHY4 doesn't seem to probe very reliably without it. It's quite
possible that we're missing some MDIO bus initialisation code in if_arge
for the AR724x case. As I dislike DELAY() workarounds in general, it's
definitely worth trying to figure out why this is the case.
Tested on: AP93 (AR7240) reference design
Obtained from: Linux OpenWRT
The AP93 has:
* AR7240 - mips24k processor with integrated 10/100 switch and
various other peripherals;
* AR9283 - 2x2 2.4GHz 802.11n (with calibration data in flash);
* 64MB RAM;
* 16MB SPI flash.
The switch code detects as an AR8216 at the present moment, which isn't
_entirely_ strictly true. However, the MII/MDIO routing in AP93.hints
works - the arge0 MAC connects to PHY4 in the switch, but via the
switch internal MDIO bus. The switch connects to arge0's MDIO bus,
but only to export the switch registers.

This is designed to support the very basic ethernet switch chip behaviour,
specifically:
* accessing switch register space;
* accessing per-PHY registers (for switches that actually expose PHYs);
* basic vlan group support, which applies for the rtl8366 driver but not
for the atheros switches.
This also includes initial support for:
* rtl8366rb support - which is a 10/100/1000 switch which supports
vlan groups;
* Initial Atheros AR8316 switch support - which is a 10/100/1000 switch
which supports an alternate vlan configuration (so the vlan group
methods are stubbed.)
The general idea here is that the switch driver may speak to a variety of
backend busses (mdio, i2c, spi, whatever) and expose:
* If applicable, one or more MDIO busses which ethernet interfaces can
then attach PHYs to via miiproxy/mdioproxy;
* exposes miibusses, one for each port at the moment, so ..
* .. a PHY can be exposed on each miibus, for each switch port, with all
of the existing MII/ifnet framework.
However:
* The ifnet is manually created for now, and it isn't linked into the
interface list, nor can you (currently) send/receive frames on this ifnet.
At some point in the future there may be _some_ support for this, for
switches with a multi-port, isolated mode.
* I'm still in the process of sorting out correct(er) locking.
TODO:
* ray's switch code in zrouter (zrouter.org) includes a much more developed
newbus API that covers the various switch methods, as well as a
capability API so drivers, the switch layer and the userland utility
can properly control the subset of supported features.
The plan is to sort that out later, once the rest of ray's switch drivers
are brought over and extended to export MII busses and PHYs.

ports. This currently is a nop, but will soon be used to allow
support for multiple boards to be built into one kernel (starting with
AT91RM9200 and expanding out from there).
There are two aspects to the sequential access optimization: (1) read ahead
of pages that are expected to be accessed in the near future and (2) unmap
and cache behind of pages that are not expected to be accessed again. This
revision changes both aspects.
The read ahead optimization is now more effective. It starts with the same
initial read window as before, but arithmetically grows the window on
sequential page faults. This can yield increased read bandwidth. For
example, on one of my machines, a program using mmap() to read a file that
is several times larger than the machine's physical memory takes about 17%
less time to complete.
The unmap and cache behind optimization is now more selectively applied.
The read ahead window must grow to its maximum size before unmap and cache
behind is performed. This significantly reduces the number of times that
pages are unmapped and cached only to be reactivated a short time later.
The unmap and cache behind optimization now clears each page's referenced
flag. Previously, in the case of dirty pages, if the containing file was
still mapped at the time that the page daemon examined the dirty pages,
they would be reactivated.
From a stylistic standpoint, this revision also cleanly separates the
implementation of the read ahead and unmap/cache behind optimizations.

This change directly manipulates firmware's mailboxes to control
remote PHY such that it does not use mii(4). Alternatively, as
David said, it could be implemented in brgphy(4) by creating a fake
PHY and let brgphy(4) do necessary mii accesses and bce(4) can
implement mailbox accesses based on the type of brgphy(4)'s mii
accesses. Personally, I think it would make brgphy(4) hard to
maintain since it would have to access many bce(4) registers in
brgphy(4). Given that there are users who are suffering from lack
of remote PHY support, it would be better to get working system
rather than waiting for complete/perfect implementation.
