of course.)
There's a few things that needed to happen:
* In case someone decides to set the beacon transmission rate to be
at an MCS rate, use the MCS-aware version of the duration calculation
to figure out how long the received beacon frame was.
* If TxOP enforcing is available on the hardware and we're doing TDMA,
enable it after a reset and set the TDMA guard interval to zero.
This seems to behave fine.
TODO:
* Although I haven't yet seen packet loss, the PHY errors that would be
triggered (specifically Transmit-Override-Receive) aren't enabled
by the 11n HAL. I'll have to do some work to enable these PHY errors
for debugging.
What broke:
* My recent changes to the TX queue handling has resulted in the driver
not keeping the hardware queue properly filled when doing non-aggregate
traffic. I have a patch to commit soon which fixes this situation
(albeit by reminding me about how my ath driver locking isn't working
out, sigh.)
So if you want to test this without updating to the next set of patches
that I commit, just bump the sysctl dev.ath.X.hwq_limit from 2 to 32.

* AR5416 <-> AR5416, with ampdu disabled, HT40, 5GHz, MCS12+Short-GI.

2. New modinfo for loader provided FDT blob.
3. Common x86_init_fdt() called from hammer_time() on amd64 and
init386() on i386.
4. Split-off FDT specific low-level console functions from FDT
bus methods for the uart(4) driver. The low-level console
logic has been moved to uart_cpu_fdt.c and is used for arm,
mips & powerpc only. The FDT bus methods are shared across
all architectures.
5. Add dev/fdt/fdt_x86.c to hold the fdt_fixup_table[] and the
fdt_pic_table[] arrays. Both are empty right now.
FDT addresses are I/O ports on x86. Since the core FDT code does
not handle different address spaces, adding support for both I/O
ports and memory addresses requires some thought and discussion.
It may be better to use a compile-time option that controls this.

The list-based DMA engine has the following behaviour:
* When the DMA engine is in the init state, you can write the first
descriptor address to the QCU TxDP register and it will work.
* Then when it hits the end of the list (ie, it either hits a NULL
link pointer, OR it hits a descriptor with VEOL set) the QCU
stops, and the TxDP points to the last descriptor that was transmitted.
* Then when you want to transmit a new frame, you can then either:
+ write the head of the new list into TxDP, or
+ you write the head of the new list into the link pointer of the
last completed descriptor (ie, where TxDP points), then kick
TxE to restart transmission on that QCU>
* The hardware then will re-read the descriptor to pick up the link
pointer and then jump to that.
Now, the quirks:
* If you write a TxDP when there's been no previous TxDP (ie, it's 0),
it works.
* If you write a TxDP in any other instance, the TxDP write may actually
fail. Thus, when you start transmission, it will re-read the last
transmitted descriptor to get the link pointer, NOT just start a new
transmission.
So the correct thing to do here is:
* ALWAYS use the holding descriptor (ie, the last transmitted descriptor
that we've kept safe) and use the link pointer in _THAT_ to transmit
the next frame.
* NEVER write to the TxDP after you've done the initial write.
* .. also, don't do this whilst you're also resetting the NIC.
With this in mind, the following patch does basically the above.
* Since this encapsulates Sam's issues with the QCU behaviour w/ TDMA,
kill the TDMA special case and replace it with the above.
* Add a new TXQ flag - PUTRUNNING - which indicates that we've started
DMA.
* Clear that flag when DMA has been shutdown.
* Ensure that we're not restarting DMA with PUTRUNNING enabled.
* Fix the link pointer logic during TXQ drain - we should always ensure
the link pointer does point to something if there's a list of frames.
Having it be NULL as an indication that DMA has finished or during
a reset causes trouble.
Now, given all of this, i want to nuke axq_link from orbit. There's now HAL
methods to get and set the link pointer of a descriptor, so what we
should do instead is to update the right link pointer.
* If there's a holding descriptor and an empty TXQ list, set the
link pointer of said holding descriptor to the new frame.
* If there's a non-empty TXQ list, set the link pointer of the
last descriptor in the list to the new frame.
* Nuke axq_link from orbit.
Note:
* The AR9380 doesn't need this. FIFO TX writes are atomic. As long as
we don't append to a list of frames that we've already passed to the
hardware, all of the above doesn't apply. The holding descriptor stuff
is still needed to ensure the hardware can re-read a completed
descriptor to move onto the next one, but we restart DMA by pushing in
a new FIFO entry into the TX QCU. That doesn't require any real
gymnastics.
Tested:
* AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, AR9380 - STA mode.
Most likely some non-USB compliant devices will choke on it

doesn't match the actual hardware queue this frame is queued to.
I'm trying to ensure that the holding buffers are actually being queued
to the same TX queue as the holding buffer that they end up on.
I'm pretty sure this is all correct so if this complains, it'll be due
to some kind of subtle broken-ness that needs fixing.
This is only done for legacy hardware, not EDMA hardware.
Tested:
* AR5416 STA mode, very lightly
PS-POLL support.
This implements PS-POLL awareness i nthe
* Implement frame "leaking", which allows for a software queue
to be scheduled even though it's asleep
* Track whether a frame has been leaked or not
* Leak out a single non-AMPDU frame when transmitting aggregates
* Queue BAR frames if the node is asleep
* Direct-dispatch the rest of control and management frames.
This allows for things like re-association to occur (which involves
sending probe req/resp as well as assoc request/response) when
the node is asleep and then tries reassociating.
* Limit how many frames can set in the software node queue whilst
the node is asleep. net80211 is already buffering frames for us
so this is mostly just paranoia.
* Add a PS-POLL method which leaks out a frame if there's something
in the software queue, else it calls net80211's ps-poll routine.
Since the ath PS-POLL routine marks the node as having a single frame
to leak, either a software queued frame would leak, OR the next queued
frame would leak. The next queued frame could be something from the
net80211 power save queue, OR it could be a NULL frame from net80211.
TODO:
* Don't transmit further BAR frames (eg via a timeout) if the node is
currently asleep. Otherwise we may end up exhausting management frames
due to the lots of queued BAR frames.
I may just undo this bit later on and direct-dispatch BAR frames
even if the node is asleep.
* It would be nice to burst out a single A-MPDU frame if both ends
support this. I may end adding a FreeBSD IE soon to negotiate
this power save behaviour.
* I should make STAs timeout of power save mode if they've been in power
save for more than a handful of seconds. This way cards that get
"stuck" in power save mode don't stay there for the "inactivity" timeout
in net80211.
* Move the queue depth check into the driver layer (ath_start / ath_transmit)
rather than doing it in the TX path.
* There could be some naughty corner cases with ps-poll leaking.
Specifically, if net80211 generates a NULL data frame whilst another
transmitter sends a normal data frame out net80211 output / transmit,
we need to ensure that the NULL data frame goes out first.
This is one of those things that should occur inside the VAP/ic TX lock.

* Move the node sleep/wake state under the TX lock rather than the
node lock. Let's leave the node lock protecting rate control only
for now.
* When reassociating, various state needs to be cleared. For example,
the aggregate session needs to be torn down, including any pending
aggregation negotiation and BAR TX waiting.
* .. and we need to do a "cleanup" pass since frames in the hardware
TX queue need to be transmitted.
Modify ath_tx_tid_cleanup() to be called with the TX lock held and push
frames into a completion list. This allows for the cleanup to be
done atomically for all TIDs in a node rather than grabbing and
releasing the TX lock each time.
a non-loss reset.
When the drain functions are called, the holding descriptor and link pointers
are NULLed out.
But when the processq function is called during a non-loss reset, this
doesn't occur. So the next time a DMA occurs, it's chained to a descriptor
that no longer exists and the hardware gets angry.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode; use sysctl dev.ath.X.forcebstuck=1 to force a non-loss
reset.
TODO:
* Further AR9380 testing just to check that the behaviour for the EDMA
chips is sane.

assigned conflicting ranges to BARs then leaving the BARs alone could
result in one device stealing mmio accesses intended to go to a second
device. Prior to 233677 the PCI bus driver attempted to handle this case
by clearing the BAR to 0 depending on BARs based at 0 not decoding (which
is not guaranteed to be true). Now when a conflicting BAR is detected the
following steps are taken:
1) If hw.pci.realloc_bars (a new tunable) is enabled (default is enabled),
then ignore the current BAR setting from the firmware and attempt to
allocate a fresh resource range for the BAR.
2) If 1) failed (or was disabled), disable decoding for the relevant
BAR type (e.g. disable mem decoding for a memory BAR) and emit a
warning if booting verbose.

of "right".)
Flip back on the "always continue TX DMA using the holding descriptor"
code - by always setting ATH_BUF_BUSY and never setting axq_link to NULL.
Since the holding descriptor is accessed via txq->axq_link and _that_
is done behind the TXQ lock rather than the TX path lock, the holding
descriptor stuff itself needs to be behind the TXQ lock.
So, do the mental gymnastics needed to do this.
I've not seen any of the hardware failures that I was seeing when
I last tried to do this.
