table with console settings, we now only need to know at which
address the UART lives. Leaving the baudrate unspecified results
in us using the baudrate at which the UART operates. This removes
one parameter that can interfere with a successful installation
out of the box.
compile option. All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.
If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over. This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.
Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.
their own directory and module, leaving the MD parts in the MD
area (the MD parts _are_ part of the modules). /dev/mem and /dev/io
are now loadable modules, thus taking us one step further towards
a kernel created entirely out of modules. Of course, there is nothing
preventing the kernel from having these statically compiled.

are zx1 based machines and they don't particularly like it when we
poke at them with PC legacy code. The atkbd and psm devices were
disabled in the hints file so that one could enable them on machines
that support legacy devices, but that's not really something you can
expect from a first-time installer. This still leaves syscons (sc)
and the vga device, which were enabled by default and wrecking havoc
anyway. We could disable them by default like the atkbd and psm
devices, but there's really no point in pretending we're in a better
shape that way.
latter is a kernel option for IA64_ID_PAGE_SHIFT, which in turn
determines IA64_ID_PAGE_MASK and IA64_ID_PAGE_SIZE.
The constants are used instead of the literal hardcoding (in its
various forms) of the size of the direct mappings created in region
6 and 7. The default and probably only workable size is still 256M,
but for kicks we use 128M for LINT.
rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
and instead add platform, firmware and EFI stubs to the loader.
The net effect of this change is that besides a special console and
disk driver, the kernel has no knowledge of the simulator. This has
the following advantages:
o Simulator support is much harder to break,
o It's easier to make use of more feature complete simulators.
This would only need a change in the simulator specific loader,
o Running SMP kernels within the simulator. Note that ski at this
time does not simulate IPIs, so there's no way to start APs.
The platform, firmware and EFI stubs describe the following hardware:
o 4 CPU Itanium,
o 128 MB RAM within the 4GB address space,
o 64 MB RAM above the 4GB address space.
NOTE: The stubs in the skiloader describe a machine that should in
parts be defined by the simulator. Things like processor interrupt
block and AP wakeup vector cannot be choosen at random because they
require interpretation by the simulator. Currently the simulator is
ignorant of this.
This change introduces an unofficial SSC call SSC_SAL_SET_VECTORS
which is ignored by the simulator.
Tested with: ski (version 0.943 for linux)
o Make the URL of the handbook match reality
o Improve some comments (either wording or formatting)
o Sync with i386: comment-out DDB, INVARIANTS, INVARIANT_SUPPORT
o Add some more SCSI/RAID controllers:
ahd, mpt, asr, ciss, dpt, iir, mly, ida
o Remove support for the parallel port
o Add NICs: em, bge
o Remove NICs: ste, tl, tx, vr, wb
o Enable USB support again, except of the UHCI host controller.
UHCI still hangs the BigSur (=HP i2000) machines, and makes
them useless. The OHCI controller works fine. Note that newer
ia64 boxes based on the Intel host controllers (UHCI or EHCI)
still won't have USB support. We really need to import the
EHCI host controller from NetBSD...
of that, there's some nasty process corruption when running with
SMP.
Note that this was already in effect for the 5.0-RC1 kernels in
the form of a local patch.

ACL configuration changes, this shouldn't result in different code paths
for file systems not explicitly configured for ACLs by the system
administrator. For UFS1, administrators must still recompile their
kernel to add support for extended attributes; for UFS2, it's sufficient
to enable ACLs using tunefs or at mount-time (tunefs preferred for
reliability reasons). UFS2, for a variety of reasons, including
performance and reliability, is the preferred file system for use with
ACLs.

NB: But it will enable it in all kernels not having options "NO_GEOM"
Put the GEOM related options into the intended order.
Add "options NO_GEOM" to all kernel configs apart from NOTES.
In some order of controlled fashion, the NO_GEOM options will be
removed, architecture by architecture in the coming days.
There are currently three known issues which may force people to
need the NO_GEOM option:
boot0cfg/fdisk:
Tries to update the MBR while it is being used to control
slices. GEOM does not allow this as a direct operation.
SCSI floppy drives:
Appearantly the scsi-da driver return "EBUSY" if no media
is inserted. This is wrong, it should return ENXIO.
PC98:
It is unclear if GEOM correctly recognizes all variants of
PC98 disklabels. (Help Wanted! I have neither docs nor HW)
These issues are all being worked.
