The bwn(4) driver requires a number of extensions to the bhnd(4) PMU
interface to support external configuration of PLLs, LDOs, and other
parameters that require chipset or PHY-specific workarounds.
These changes add support for:
- Writing raw voltage register values to PHY-specific LDO regulator
registers (required by LP-PHY).
- Enabling/disabling PHY-specific LDOs (required by LP-PHY)
- Writing to arbitrary PMU chipctrl registers (required for common PHY PLL
reset support).
- Requesting chipset/PLL-specific spurious signal avoidance modes.
- Querying clock frequency and latency.
Additionally, rather than updating legacy PWRCTL support to conform to the
new PMU interface:
- PWRCTL API is now provided by a bhnd_pwrctl_if.m interface.
- Since PWRCTL is only found in older SSB-based chipsets, translation from
bhnd(4) bus APIs to corresponding PWRCTL operations is now handled
entirely within the siba(4) driver.
- The PWRCTL-specific host bridge clock gating APIs in bhnd_bus_if.m have
been lifted out into a standalone bhnd_pwrctl_hostb_if.m interface.

BHND Wi-Fi chipsets and SoCs share a common DMA engine, operating within
backplane address space. To support host DMA on Wi-Fi chipsets, the bridge
core maps host address space onto the backplane; any host addresses must
be translated to their corresponding backplane address.
- Defines a new bhnd_get_dma_translation(9) API to support querying DMA
address translation parameters from the bhnd(4) bus.
- Extends bhndb(4) to provide DMA translation descriptors from a DMA
address translation table defined in the host bridge-specific
bhndb_hwcfg.
- Defines bhndb(4) DMA address translation tables for all supported host

On BHND MIPS SoCs, this replaces the use of hard-coded MIPS IRQ#s in the
common bhnd(4) core drivers; we now register an INTRNG child PIC that
handles routing of backplane interrupt vectors via the MIPS core.
On BHND PCI devices, backplane interrupt vectors are now routed to the
PCI/PCIe host bridge core when bus_setup_intr() is called, where they are
dispatched by the PCI core via a host interrupt (e.g. INTx/MSI).
The bhndb(4) bridge driver tracks registered interrupt handlers for the
bridged bhnd(4) devices and manages backplane interrupt routing, while
delegating actual bus interrupt setup/teardown to the parent bus on behalf
of the bridged cores.

The (eventually) upcoming ath(4) changes will include being able to load
ath(4) devices on the AHB bus (ie the on-die wifi part of the SoC)
as modules.
In order for this to happen, a copy of the calibration data needs to be
copied away before the SPI driver runs or the memory map access hack
won't work.
Now, ideally (!) there'd be some driver that can come up after the MTD
pieces (eg, SPI, NAND, etc) and load into a firmware chunk the calibration
data.
(Or, really really nicely, would be an actual async firmware API that
would lead itself to having a driver schedule a file read - or a raw device
read - to get to the calibration data.)
Now, until all of the above is done - I'm going to perpetuate the layer
breaking atrocity here by simply doing the PCI bus fixup EEPROM/calibration
data hack here. This will work for any AR71xx (and later on, AR231x/AR531x)
device, as well as the handful of QCA MIPS + QCA9880v2 802.11ac boards with
NOR flash.
To use, this goes into the kernel config:
# Enable EEPROM hacks
options AR71XX_ATH_EEPROM
device ar71xx_caldata
device firmware
# This enables the ath_ahb driver (when I commit the change!) to
# pull data out of the firmware hack.
options ATH_EEPROM_FIRMWARE
In the hints file:
# ART calibration data mapping device
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.at="nexus0"
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.order=0
# Where the ART is - last 64k in the first 8MB of flash
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.map.0.ath_fixup_addr=0x1fff0000
hint.ar71xx_caldata.0.map.0.ath_fixup_size=16384
# And now tell the ath(4) driver where to look!
hint.ath.0.eeprom_firmware="ar71xx_caldata.0.map.0.eeprom_firmware"
Tested:

to include both the PCI bus firmware version (for PCI ID fixups too!)

I fixed this in 1997, but the fix was over-engineered and fragile and
was broken in 2003 if not before. i386 parameters were copied to 8
other arches verbatim, mostly after they stopped working on i386, and
mostly without the large comment saying how the values were chosen on
i386. powerpc has a non-verbatim copy which just changes the uncritical
parameter and seems to add a sign extension bug to it.
Just treat negative offsets as offsets if they are no more negative than
-db_offset_max (default -64K), and remove all the broken parameters.
-64K is not very negative, but it is enough for frame and stack pointer
offsets since kernel stacks are small.
The over-engineering was mainly to go more negative than -64K for the
negative offset format, without affecting printing for more than a
single address.
Addresses in the top 64K of a (full 32-bit or 64-bit) address space
are now printed less well, but there aren't many interesting ones.
For arches that have many interesting ones very near the top (e.g.,
68k has interrupt vectors there), there would be no good limit for
the negative offset format and -64K is a good as anything.

pointer for printf instead of directly using db_printf().

Previously, the stack unwinder tried to locate the start of the function
in each frame by walking backwards until it found an instruction that
modified the stack pointer and then assumed that was the first instruction
in a function. The unwinder would only print a function name if the
starting instruction's address was an exact match for a symbol name.
However, not all functions generated by modern compilers start off functions
with that instruction. For those functions, the unwinder would fail to
find a matching function name. As a result, most frames in a stack
trace would be printed as raw hex PC's instead of a function name.
Stop depending on this incorrect assumption and just use db_printsym()
like other platforms to display the function name and offset for each
frame. This generates a far more useful stack trace.
While here, don't print out curproc's pid at the end of the trace. The
pid was always from curproc even if tracing some other process.
In addition, remove some rotted comments about hardcoded constants that
are no longer hardcoded.

There was a single call to stacktrace() under an #ifdef DEBUG to obtain
a stack trace during a fault that resulted in a function pointer to a
printf function being passed to stacktrace_subr() in db_trace.c. The
kernel now has existing interfaces for obtaining a stack trace outside
of DDB (kdb_backtrace(), or the stack_*() API) that should be used instead.
Rather than fix the one call however, remove it since the kernel will
dump a trace anyway once it panics.
Make stacktrace_subr() static, remove the function pointer and change it
to use db_printf() explicitly.

Kernel stack overflows in MIPS call panic() directly from an assembly

dump_avail[] is supposed to be a superset of phys_avail[] that
describes all of the memory ranges that should be included in a full
dump. minidumps don't consider pages described by dump_avail[] to be
valid and thus they are excluded via the is_dumpable() function. Most
MIPS platforms (including MALTA) set dump_avail[] to be identical to
phys_avail[]. In particular, phys_avail[] doesn't include the kernel
itself, so pages for the kernel and it's global variables are not
considered dumpable and not included in the dump. Fix this by setting
dump_avail[0] to the first memory address (0) rather than the end of
the kernel.
Several other MIPS platforms have the same bug, though I am only able
to test malta in qemu. The correct fix is to set dump_avail[] to
describe RAM and in particular to not set dump_avail[0] to the end of
the kernel (kernel_kseg0_end).

When the kernel debugger is entered, makectx() is called to store
appropriate state from the trapframe for the debugger into a global
kdb_pcb used as the thread context of the thread entering the
debugger. Stack unwinders for DDB called via db_trace_thread() are
supposed to then use this saved context so that the stack trace for
the current thread starts at the location of the event that triggered
debugger entry.
MIPS was instead starting the stack trace of the current thread from
the context of db_trace_thread itself and unwinding back out through
the debugger to the original frame. Fix a couple of things to bring
MIPS inline with other platforms:
- Fix makectx() to store the PC, SP, and RA in the right portion of
the PCB used by db_trace_thread().
- Fix db_trace_thread() to always use kdb_thr_ctx() (and thus kdb_pcb
for the debugger thread).
- Move the logic for tracing curthread from within the current
function into db_trace_self() to match other architectures.

Changes include modifications in kernel crash dump routines, dumpon(8) and
savecore(8). A new tool called decryptcore(8) was added.
A new DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was added to send a kernel crash dump
configuration in the diocskerneldump_arg structure to the kernel.
The old DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control was renamed to DIOCSKERNELDUMP_FREEBSD11 for
backward ABI compatibility.
dumpon(8) generates an one-time random symmetric key and encrypts it using
an RSA public key in capability mode. Currently only AES-256-CBC is supported
but EKCD was designed to implement support for other algorithms in the future.
The public key is chosen using the -k flag. The dumpon rc(8) script can do this
automatically during startup using the dumppubkey rc.conf(5) variable. Once the
keys are calculated dumpon sends them to the kernel via DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O
control.
When the kernel receives the DIOCSKERNELDUMP I/O control it generates a random
IV and sets up the key schedule for the specified algorithm. Each time the
kernel tries to write a crash dump to the dump device, the IV is replaced by
a SHA-256 hash of the previous value. This is intended to make a possible
differential cryptanalysis harder since it is possible to write multiple crash
dumps without reboot by repeating the following commands:
# sysctl debug.kdb.enter=1
db> call doadump(0)
db> continue
# savecore
A kernel dump key consists of an algorithm identifier, an IV and an encrypted
symmetric key. The kernel dump key size is included in a kernel dump header.
The size is an unsigned 32-bit integer and it is aligned to a block size.
The header structure has 512 bytes to match the block size so it was required to
make a panic string 4 bytes shorter to add a new field to the header structure.
If the kernel dump key size in the header is nonzero it is assumed that the
kernel dump key is placed after the first header on the dump device and the core
dump is encrypted.
Separate functions were implemented to write the kernel dump header and the
kernel dump key as they need to be unencrypted. The dump_write function encrypts
data if the kernel was compiled with the EKCD option. Encrypted kernel textdumps
are not supported due to the way they are constructed which makes it impossible
to use the CBC mode for encryption. It should be also noted that textdumps don't
contain sensitive data by design as a user decides what information should be
dumped.
savecore(8) writes the kernel dump key to a key.# file if its size in the header
is nonzero. # is the number of the current core dump.
decryptcore(8) decrypts the core dump using a private RSA key and the kernel
dump key. This is performed by a child process in capability mode.
If the decryption was not successful the parent process removes a partially
decrypted core dump.
Description on how to encrypt crash dumps was added to the decryptcore(8),
dumpon(8), rc.conf(5) and savecore(8) manual pages.
EKCD was tested on amd64 using bhyve and i386, mipsel and sparc64 using QEMU.
The feature still has to be tested on arm and arm64 as it wasn't possible to run
FreeBSD due to the problems with QEMU emulation and lack of hardware.

- Defined an abstract NVRAM I/O API (bhnd_nvram_io), decoupling NVRAM/SPROM
parsing from the actual underlying NVRAM data provider (e.g. CFE firmware
devices).
- Defined an abstract NVRAM data API (bhnd_nvram_data), decoupling
higher-level NVRAM operations (indexed lookup, data conversion, etc) from
the underlying NVRAM file format parsing/serialization.
- Implemented a new high-level bhnd_nvram_store API, providing indexed
variable lookup, pending write tracking, etc on top of an arbitrary
bhnd_nvram_data instance.
- Migrated all bhnd(4) NVRAM device drivers to the common bhnd_nvram_store
API.
- Implemented a common bhnd_nvram_val API for parsing/encoding NVRAM
variable values, including applying format-specific behavior when
converting to/from the NVRAM string representations.
- Dropped the now unnecessary bhnd_nvram driver, and moved the
broadcom/mips-specific CFE NVRAM driver out into sys/mips/broadcom.
- Implemented a new nvram_map file format:
- Variable definitions are now defined separately from the SPROM
layout. This will also allow us to define CIS tuple NVRAM
mappings referencing the common NVRAM variable definitions.
- Variables can now be defined within arbitrary named groups.
- Textual descriptions and help information can be defined inline
for both variables and variable groups.
- Implemented a new, compact encoding of SPROM image layout
offsets.
- Source-level (but not build system) support for building the NVRAM file
format APIs (bhnd_nvram_io, bhnd_nvram_data, bhnd_nvram_store) as a
userspace library.
The new compact SPROM image layout encoding is loosely modeled on Apple
dyld compressed LINKEDIT symbol binding opcodes; it provides a compact
state-machine encoding of the mapping between NVRAM variables and the SPROM
image offset, mask, and shift instructions necessary to decode or encode
the SPROM variable data.
The compact encoding reduces the size of the generated SPROM layout data
from roughly 60KB to 3KB. The sequential nature SPROM layout opcode tables
also simplify iteration of the SPROM variables, as it's no longer
neccessary to iterate the full NVRAM variable definition table, but
instead simply scan the SPROM revision's layout opcode table.

the bhnd_erom API, ensuring that full bridge configuration is available
*prior* to actually attaching and enumerating the bhnd(4) child device,
allowing us to safely allocate bus-level agent/device resources during
bhnd(4) bus enumeration.
- Add a bhnd_erom_probe() method usable by bhndb(4). This is an analogue
to the existing bhnd_erom_probe_static() method, and allows the bhndb
bridge to discover the best available erom parser class prior to newbus
probing of its children.
- Add support for supplying identification hints when probing erom

identification registers are not available.
- Migrate bhndb over to the new bhnd_erom API, using bhnd_core_info
records rather than bridged bhnd(4) device_t references to determine
the bridged chipsets' capability/bridge configuration.
- The bhndb parent (e.g. if_bwn) is now required to supply a hardware
priority table to the bridge. The default table is currently sufficient
for our supported devices.
- Drop the two-pass attach approach we used for compatibility with bhndb(4) in

- Reverted use of the resource's start address as the ChipCommon enum_addr in

host address space, resulting in an invalid bridged enum_addr.
- Added support for falling back on standard bus_activate_resource() in
