77c1fcec91 ixl/iavf(4): Change ixlv to iavf and update it to use iflib(9)
Finishes the conversion of the 40Gb Intel Ethernet drivers to iflib(9) for
FreeBSD 12.0, and fixes numerous bugs in both ixl(4) and iavf(4).

This commit also re-adds the VF driver to GENERIC since it now compiles and
functions.

The VF driver name was changed from ixlv(4) to iavf(4) because the VF driver is
now intended to be used with future products, not just with Fortville/Fort Park
VFs.

A man page update that documents these drivers is forthcoming in a separate
commit.

329e817fcc Reapply, with minor tweaks, r338025, from the original commit:
Remove unused and easy to misuse PNP macro parameter

Inspired by r338025, just remove the element size parameter to the
MODULE_PNP_INFO macro entirely.  The 'table' parameter is now required to
have correct pointer (or array) type.  Since all invocations of the macro
already had this property and the emitted PNP data continues to include the
element size, there is no functional change.

Mostly done with the coccinelle 'spatch' tool:

  $ cat modpnpsize0.cocci
    @normaltables@
    identifier b,c;
    expression a,d,e;
    declarer MODULE_PNP_INFO;
    @@
     MODULE_PNP_INFO(a,b,c,d,
    -sizeof(d[0]),
     e);

    @singletons@
    identifier b,c,d;
    expression a;
    declarer MODULE_PNP_INFO;
    @@
     MODULE_PNP_INFO(a,b,c,&d,
    -sizeof(d),
     1);

  $ rg -l MODULE_PNP_INFO -- sys | \
    xargs spatch --in-place --sp-file modpnpsize0.cocci

(Note that coccinelle invokes diff(1) via a PATH search and expects diff to
tolerate the -B flag, which BSD diff does not.  So I had to link gdiff into
PATH as diff to use spatch.)

Tinderbox'd (-DMAKE_JUST_KERNELS).

7f87c0406d Assorted TSO fixes for em(4)/iflib(9) and dead code removal:
- Ever since the workaround for the silicon bug of TSO4 causing MAC hangs
  was committed in r295133, CSUM_TSO always got disabled unconditionally
  by em(4) on the first invocation of em_init_locked(). However, even with
  that problem fixed, it turned out that for at least e. g. 82579 not all
  necessary TSO workarounds are in place, still causing MAC hangs even at
  Gigabit speed. Thus, for stable/11, TSO usage was deliberately disabled
  in r323292 (r323293 for stable/10) for the EM-class by default, allowing
  users to turn it on if it happens to work with their particular EM MAC
  in a Gigabit-only environment.
  In head, the TSO workaround for speeds other than Gigabit was lost with
  the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849 (possibly along with another one
  or two TSO workarounds). Yet at the same time, for EM-class MACs TSO4
  got enabled by default again, causing device hangs. Therefore, change the
  default for this hardware class back to have TSO4 off, allowing users
  to turn it on manually if it happens to work in their environment as
  we do in stable/{10,11}. An alternative would be to add a whitelist of
  EM-class devices where TSO4 actually is reliable with the workarounds in
  place, but given that the advantage of TSO at Gigabit speed is rather
  limited - especially with the overhead of these workarounds -, that's
  really not worth it. [1]
  This change includes the addition of an isc_capabilities to struct
  if_softc_ctx so iflib(9) can also handle interface capabilities that
  shouldn't be enabled by default which is used to handle the default-off
  capabilities of e1000 as suggested by shurd@ and moving their handling
  from em_setup_interface() to em_if_attach_pre() accordingly.
- Although 82543 support TSO4 in theory, the former lem(4) didn't have
  support for TSO4, presumably because TSO4 is even more broken in the
  LEM-class of MACs than the later EM ones. Still, TSO4 for LEM-class
  devices was enabled as part of the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849,
  causing device hangs. So revert back to the pre-r311849 behavior of
  not supporting TSO4 for LEM-class at all, which includes not creating
  a TSO DMA tag in iflib(9) for devices not having IFCAP_TSO4 set. [2]
- In fact, the FreeBSD TCP stack can handle a TSO size of IP_MAXPACKET
  (65535) rather than FREEBSD_TSO_SIZE_MAX (65518). However, the TSO
  DMA must have a maxsize of the maximum TSO size plus the size of a
  VLAN header for software VLAN tagging. The iflib(9) converted em(4),
  thus, first correctly sets scctx->isc_tx_tso_size_max to EM_TSO_SIZE
  in em_if_attach_pre(), but later on overrides it with IP_MAXPACKET
  in em_setup_interface() (apparently, left-over from pre-iflib(9)
  times). So remove the later and correct iflib(9) to correctly cap
  the maximum TSO size reported to the stack at IP_MAXPACKET. While at
  it, let iflib(9) use if_sethwtsomax*().
  This change includes the addition of isc_tso_max{seg,}size DMA engine
  constraints for the TSO DMA tag to struct if_shared_ctx and letting
  iflib_txsd_alloc() automatically adjust the maxsize of that tag in case
  IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported as requested by shurd@.
- Move the if_setifheaderlen(9) call for adjusting the maximum Ethernet
  header length from {ixgbe,ixl,ixlv,ixv,em}_setup_interface() to iflib(9)
  so adjustment is automatically done in case IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported.
  As a consequence, this adjustment now is also done in case of bnxt(4)
  which missed it previously.
- Move the reduction of the maximum TSO segment count reported to the
  stack by the number of m_pullup(9) calls (which in the worst case,
  can add another mbuf and, thus, the requirement for another DMA
  segment each) in the transmit path for performance reasons from
  em_setup_interface() to iflib_txsd_alloc() as these pull-ups are now
  done in iflib_parse_header() rather than in the no longer existing
  em_xmit(). Moreover, this optimization applies to all drivers using
  iflib(9) and not just em(4); all in-tree iflib(9) consumers still
  have enough room to handle full size TSO packets. Also, reduce the
  adjustment to the maximum number of m_pullup(9)'s now performed in
  iflib_parse_header().
- Prior to the conversion of em(4)/igb(4)/lem(4) and ixl(4) to iflib(9)
  in r311849 and r335338 respectively, these drivers didn't enable
  IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER by default due to VLAN events not being passed
  through by lagg(4). With iflib(9), IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER was turned on
  by default but also lagg(4) was fixed in that regard in r203548. So
  just remove the now redundant and defunct IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER handling
  in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface().
- Nuke other redundant IFCAP_* setting in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface()
  which is (more completely) already done in {em,ixl,ixlv}_if_attach_pre()
  now.
- Remove some redundant/dead setting of scctx->isc_tx_csum_flags in
  em_if_attach_pre().
- Remove some IFCAP_* duplicated either directly or indirectly (e. g.
  via IFCAP_HWCSUM) in {EM,IGB,IXL}_CAPS.
- Don't bother to fiddle with IFCAP_HWSTATS in ixgbe(4)/ixgbev(4) as
  iflib(9) adds that capability unconditionally.
- Remove some unused macros from em(4).
- Bump __FreeBSD_version as some of the above changes require the modules
  of drivers using iflib(9) to be recompiled.

iflib_softirq_alloc_generic is never modified. Many places in code pass
string literals and thus should not be modified.

1d7ef1867a iflib: Add new shared flag: IFLIB_ADMIN_ALWAYS_RUN
ixl(4)'s nvmupdate utility expects the nvmupdate process to run
while the interface is down; these nvm update commands use the
admin queue, so the admin queue needs to be able to generate
interrupts and be processed while the interface is down.

So add a flag that ixl(4) sets that lets the entire admin task
run even when the interface is marked down/IFF_DRV_RUNNING isn't set.

With this change, nvmupdate should function like it did pre-iflib.

d300df0182 Roll up iflib commits from github. This pulls in most of the work done
by Matt Macy as well as other changes which he has accepted via pull
request to his github repo at https://github.com/mattmacy/networking/

This should bring -CURRENT and the github repo into close enough sync to
allow small feature branches rather than a large chain of interdependant
patches being developed out of tree.  The reset of the synchronization
should be able to be completed on github by splitting the remaining
changes that are not yet ready into short feature branches for later
review as smaller commits.

Here is a summary of changes included in this patch:

1)  More checks when INVARIANTS are enabled for eariler problem
    detection
2)  Group Task Queue cleanups
    - Fix use of duplicate shortdesc for gtaskqueue malloc type.
      Some interfaces such as memguard(9) use the short description to
      identify malloc types, so duplicates should be avoided.
3)  Allow gtaskqueues to use ithreads in addition to taskqueues
    - In some cases, this can improve performance
4)  Better logging when taskqgroup_attach*() fails to set interrupt
    affinity.
5)  Do not start gtaskqueues until they're needed
6)  Have mp_ring enqueue function enter the ABDICATED rather than BUSY
    state.  This moves the TX to the gtaskq and allows processing to
    continue faster as well as make TX batching more likely.
7)  Add an ift_txd_errata function to struct if_txrx.  This allows
    drivers to inspect/modify mbufs before transmission.
8)  Add a new IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM for drivers to indicate they need
    checksums zeroed for checksum offload to work.  This avoids modifying
    packet data in the TX path when possible.
9)  Use ithreads for iflib I/O instead of taskqueues
10) Clean up ioctl and support async ioctl functions
11) Prefetch two cachlines from each mbuf instead of one up to 128B.  We
    often need to parse packet header info beyond 64B.
12) Fix potential memory corruption due to fence post error in
    bit_nclear() usage.
13) Improved hang detection and handling
14) If the packet is smaller than MTU, disable the TSO flags.
    This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
15) Move TCP header parsing inside the IS_TSO?() test.
    This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
16) Pass chains of mbufs that are not consumed by lro to if_input()
    rather call if_input() for each mbuf.
17) Re-arrange packet header loads to get as much work as possible done
    before a cache stall.
18) Lock the context when calling IFDI_ATTACH_PRE()/IFDI_ATTACH_POST()/
    IFDI_DETACH();
19) Attempt to distribute RX/TX tasks across cores more sensibly,
    especially when RX and TX share an interrupt.  RX will attempt to
    take the first threads on a core, and TX will attempt to take
    successive threads.
20) Allow iflib_softirq_alloc_generic() to request affinity to the same
    cpus an interrupt has affinity with.  This allows TX queues to
    ensure they are serviced by the socket the device is on.
21) Add new iflib sysctls to net.iflib:
    - timer_int - interval at which to run per-queue timers in ticks
    - force_busdma
22) Add new per-device iflib sysctls to dev.X.Y.iflib
    - rx_budget allows tuning the batch size on the RX path
    - watchdog_events Count of watchdog events seen since load
23) Fix error where netmap_rxq_init() could get called before
    IFDI_INIT()
24) e1000: Fixed version of r323008: post-cold sleep instead of DELAY
    when waiting for firmware
    - After interrupts are enabled, convert all waits to sleeps
    - Eliminates e1000 software/firmware synchronization busy waits after
      startup
25) e1000: Remove special case for budget=1 in em_txrx.c
    - Premature optimization which may actually be incorrect with
      multi-segment packets
26) e1000: Split out TX interrupt rather than share an interrupt for
    RX and TX.
    - Allows better performance by keeping RX and TX paths separate
27) e1000: Separate igb from em code where suitable
    Much easier to understand separate functions and "if (is_igb)" than
    previous tests like "if (reg_icr & (E1000_ICR_RXSEQ | E1000_ICR_LSC))"

--Remove special-case handling of sparc64 bus_dmamap* functions.
  Replace with a more generic mechanism that allows MD busdma
  implementations to generate inline mapping functions by
  defining WANT_INLINE_DMAMAP in <machine/bus_dma.h>.  This
  is currently useful for sparc64, x86, and arm64, which all
  implement non-load dmamap operations as simple wrappers
  around map objects which may be bus- or device-specific.

--Remove NULL-checked bus_dmamap macros.  Implement the
  equivalent NULL checks in the inlined x86 implementation.
  For non-x86 platforms, these checks are a minor pessimization
  as those platforms do not currently allow NULL maps.  NULL
  maps were originally allowed on arm64, which appears to have
  been the motivation behind adding arm[64]-specific barriers
  to bus_dma.h, but that support was removed in r299463.

--Simplify the internal interface used by the bus_dmamap_load*
  variants and move it to bus_dma_internal.h

--Fix some drivers that directly include sys/bus_dma.h

- Allow different TX/RX queues per set to be different sizes
- Don't split up TX mbufs before transmit
- Allow a completion queue for TX as well as RX
- Pass the RX budget to isc_rxd_available() to allow an earlier return
  and avoid multiple calls

4c7070db25 Import the 'iflib' API library for network drivers. From the author:
"iflib is a library to eliminate the need for frequently duplicated device
independent logic propagated (poorly) across many network drivers."

Participation is purely optional.  The IFLIB kernel config option is
provided for drivers that want to transition between legacy and iflib
modes of operation.  ixl and ixgbe driver conversions will be committed
shortly.  We hope to see participation from the Broadcom and maybe
Chelsio drivers in the near future.
