MAKEDEV: Add MAKEDEV glue for the ti(4) device nodes.
ti.4: Update the ti(4) man page to include information on the
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT and TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS kernel options,
and also include information about the new character
device interface and the associated ioctls.
man9/Makefile: Add jumbo.9 and zero_copy.9 man pages and associated
links.
jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator
interface and operation.
zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of
the zero copy send and receive code, and what an
application author should do to take advantage of the
zero copy functionality.
NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS,
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT.
conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c.
conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above.
kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes
"disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to
a user process, and then recycles the user's page.
This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on
and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is
set to 1.
uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written
by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it
kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write
mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network
stack.
uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.
uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are
enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on.
Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get
mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if
they meet size and alignment restrictions.
uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they
can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c)
if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid
calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if
the M_NOWAIT malloc fails.
The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call
this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings
for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the
system. (I've only verified for ti(4)).
ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains
a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers.
This allows the receiver to potentially do page
flipping on receives.
if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If
TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the
jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers.
Add a new character device interface for the ti(4)
driver for the new debugging interface. This allows
(a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board
and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional
debugging ioctls available through this interface.
Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver.
Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing
parameters to more useful defaults.
Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but
leave it turned off with a comment describing why it
is turned off.
if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really
at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13.
Add defines needed for debugging.
Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in
sys/tiio.h.
ti_fw.h: 12.4.11 firmware.
ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13,
and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13
doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This
firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously,
with the addition of header splitting support.)
sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface.
sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to
indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away /
flipped to a userland process.
socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup.
tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4)
driver, plus associated structure/type definitions.
uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know
whether the source page is disposable.
ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().
vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.
vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.
This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)
vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.
vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().
vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault
routines.
vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in
the vm_page structure.
Many thanks to Drew Gallatin, who wrote the zero copy send and receive
code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code
over the years.
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.
Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64
The constant I was using was correct, but I mislabeled it as 256K when
it should have been 512K. This doesn't actually change the code, but
it clarifies things somewhat.

- Use pci_get_powerstate()/pci_set_powerstate() in all the other drivers
that need them so we don't have to fiddle with the PCI power management
registers directly.
- Use pci_enable_busmaster()/pci_enable_io() to turn on busmastering and
PIO/memory mapped accesses.
- Add support to the RealTek driver for the D-Link DFE-530TX+ which has
a RealTek 8139 with its own PCI ID. (Submitted by Jason Wright)
- Have the SiS 900/National DP83815 driver be sure to disable PME
mode in sis_reset(). This apparently fixes a problem on some
motherboards where the DP83815 chip fails to receive packets.

All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include
the MTX_RECURSE bit in the flag argument variable. This change is in
preparation for an upcoming (further) mutex API cleanup.
The witness code will call panic() if a lock is found to recurse but
the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:
eventhandler, Giant, callout, sched_lock, possibly some others declared
in the architecture-specific code, all of the network card driver locks
in pci/, as well as some other locks in dev/ stuff that I've found to
be recursive.

that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

bloat GENERIC a little.
declaration for the interface driver from "foo" to "if_foo" but leave the
declaration for the miibus attached to the interface driver alone. This
lets the internal module name be "if_foo" while still allowing the miibus
instances to attach to "foo."
This should allow ifconfig to autoload driver modules again without
breaking the miibus attach.
This whole idea isn't going to work until somebody makes the bus/kld
code smarter. The idea here is to change the module's internal name
from "foo" to "if_foo" so that ifconfig can tell a network driver from
a non-network one. However doing this doesn't work correctly no matter
how you slice it. For everything to work, you have to change the name
in both the driver_t struct and the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration. The
problems are:
- If you change the name in both places, then the kernel thinks that
the device's name is now "if_foo", so you get things like:
if_foo0: <FOO ethernet> irq foo at device foo on pcifoo
if_foo0: Ethernet address: foo:foo:foo:foo:foo:foo
This is bogus. Now the device name doesn't agree with the logical
interface name. There's no reason for this, and it violates the
principle of least astonishment.
- If you leave the name in the driver_t struct as "foo" and only
change the names in the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration to "if_foo" then
attaching drivers to child devices doesn't work because the names don't
agree. This breaks miibus: drivers that need to have miibuses and PHY
drivers attached never get them.
In other words: damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This needs to be thought through some more. Since the drivers that
use miibus are broken, I have to change these all back in order to
make them work again. Yes this will stop ifconfig from being able
to demand load driver modules. On the whole, I'd rather have that
than having the drivers not work at all.

This fixes, at least, panics in ncr_attach() on i386's with about 5MB
of memory. The restriction was a hack to leave some low memory for ISA
DMA, but on i386's we now allocate pages from the top down, so all the
restriction did was cause our allocations to fail when there is no free
memory above 1MB.
