- In ntoskrnl_var.h, I had defined compat macros for
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() and ntoskrnl_release_spinlock() but
never used them. This is fortunate since they were stale. Fix them
to work properly. (In Windows/x86 KeAcquireSpinLock() is a macro that
calls KefAcquireSpinLock(), which lives in HAL.dll. To imitate this,
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() is just a macro that calls hal_lock(),
which lives in subr_hal.o.)
- Add macros for ntoskrnl_raise_irql() and ntoskrnl_lower_irql() that
call hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql().
- Use these macros in kern_ndis.c, subr_ndis.c and subr_ntoskrnl.c.
- Along the way, I realised subr_ndis.c:ndis_lock() was not calling
hal_lock() correctly (it was using the FASTCALL2() wrapper when
in reality this routine is FASTCALL1()). Using the
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() fixes this. Not sure if this actually
caused any bugs since hal_lock() would have just ignored what
was in %edx, but it was still bogus.
This hides many of the uses of the FASTCALLx() macros which makes the
code a little cleaner. Should not have any effect on generated object
code, other than the one fix in ndis_lock().
- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to process a .SYS file directly into
a .o file so that we don't have to emit big messy char arrays into
the ndis_driver_data.h file. This behavior is currently optional, but
may become the default some day.
- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to turn arbitrary files into .ko files
so that they can be pre-loaded or kldloaded. (Both this and the
previous change involve using objcopy(1)).
- Give NdisOpenFile() the ability to 'read' files out of kernel memory
that have been kldloaded or pre-loaded, and disallow the use of
the normal vn_open() file opening method during bootstrap (when no
filesystems have been mounted yet). Some people have reported that
kldloading if_ndis.ko works fine when the system is running multiuser
but causes a panic when the modile is pre-loaded by /boot/loader. This
happens with drivers that need to use NdisOpenFile() to access
external files (i.e. firmware images). NdisOpenFile() won't work
during kernel bootstrapping because no filesystems have been mounted.
To get around this, you can now do the following:
o Say you have a firmware file called firmware.img
o Do: ndiscvt -f firmware.img -- this creates firmware.img.ko
o Put the firmware.img.ko in /boot/kernel
o add firmware.img_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf
o add if_ndis_load="YES" and ndis_load="YES" as well
Now the loader will suck the additional file into memory as a .ko. The
phony .ko has two symbols in it: filename_start and filename_end, which
are generated by objcopy(1). ndis_open_file() will traverse each module
in the module list looking for these symbols and, if it finds them, it'll
use them to generate the file mapping address and length values that
the caller of NdisOpenFile() wants.
As a bonus, this will even work if the file has been statically linked
into the kernel itself, since the "kernel" module is searched too.
(ndiscvt(8) will generate both filename.o and filename.ko for you).
- Modify the mechanism used to provide make-pretend FASTCALL support.
Rather than using inline assembly to yank the first two arguments
out of %ecx and %edx, we now use the __regparm__(3) attribute (and
the __stdcall__ attribute) and use some macro magic to re-order
the arguments and provide dummy arguments as needed so that the
arguments passed in registers end up in the right place. Change
taken from DragonflyBSD version of the NDISulator.

for unknown events.
A number of modules return EINVAL in this instance, and I have left
those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this
as "didn't do anything".
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.

Make the PCI and PCCARD attachments provide a bus_get_resource_list()
method so that resource listing for PCCARD works. PCCARD does not
have a bus_get_resource_list() method (yet), so I faked up the
resource list management in if_ndis_pccard.c, and added
bus_get_resource_list() methods to both if_ndis_pccard.c and if_ndis_pci.c.
The one in the PCI attechment just hands off to the PCI bus code.
The difference is transparent to the NDIS resource handler code.
Fixed ndis_open_file() so that opening files which live on NFS

Make NdisMMapIoSpace() handle mapping of PCMCIA attribute memory
resources correctly.
Turn subr_ndis.c:my_strcasecmp() into ndis_strcasecmp() and export
it so that if_ndis_pccard.c can use it, and junk the other copy

Add copyiniov() which copies a struct iovec array in from userland into
a malloc'ed struct iovec. Caller frees.
Change uiofromiov() to malloc the uio (caller frees) and name it
copyinuio() which is more appropriate.
Add cloneuio() which returns a malloc'ed copy. Caller frees.
Use them throughout.
- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_allocate_sharemem(), create the busdma tags
used for shared memory allocations with a lowaddr of 0x3E7FFFFF.
This forces the buffers to be mapped to physical/bus addresses within
the first 1GB of physical memory. It seems that at least one card
(Linksys Instant Wireless PCI V2.7) depends on this behavior. I
don't know if this is a hardware restriction, or if the NDIS
driver for this card is truncating the addresses itself, but using
physical/bus addresses beyong the 1GB limit causes initialization
failures.
- Create am NDIS_INITIALIZED() macro in if_ndisvar.h and use it in
if_ndis.c to test whether the device has been initialized rather
than checking for the presence of the IFF_UP flag in if_flags.
While debugging the previous problem, I noticed that bringing
up the device would always produce failures from ndis_setmulti().
It turns out that the following steps now occur during device
initialization:
- IFF_UP flag is set in if_flags
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFADDR (which we don't handle)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (again)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (yet again)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFFLAGS
Setting the receive filter and multicast filters can only be done
when the underlying NDIS driver has been initialized, which is done
by ifp->if_init(). However, we don't call ifp->if_init() until
ifp->if_ioctl() is called with SIOCSIFFLAGS and IFF_UP has been
set. It appears that now, the network stack tries to add multicast
addresses to interface's filter before those steps occur. Normally,
ndis_setmulti() would trap this condition by checking for the IFF_UP
flag, but the network code has in fact set this flag already, so
ndis_setmulti() is fooled into thinking the interface has been
initialized when it really hasn't.
It turns out this is usually harmless because the ifp->if_init()
routine (in this case ndis_init()) will set up the multicast
filter when it initializes the hardware anyway, and the underlying
routines (ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info()) know that the driver/NIC
haven't been initialized yet, but you end up spurious error messages
on the console all the time.
Something tells me this new behavior isn't really correct. I think
the intention was to fix it so that ifp->if_init() is only called
once when we ifconfig an interface up, but the end result seems a
little bogus: the change of the IFF_UP flag should be propagated
down to the driver before calling any other ioctl() that might actually
require the hardware to be up and running.
pointer to the corresponding struct thread to the thread ID (lwpid_t)
assigned to that thread. The primary reason for this change is that
libthr now internally uses the same ID as the debugger and the kernel
when referencing to a kernel thread. This allows us to implement the
support for debugging without additional translations and/or mappings.
To preserve the ABI, the 1:1 threading syscalls, including the umtx
locking API have not been changed to work on a lwpid_t. Instead the
1:1 threading syscalls operate on long and the umtx locking API has
not been changed except for the contested bit. Previously this was
the least significant bit. Now it's the most significant bit. Since
the contested bit should not be tested by userland, this change is
not expected to be visible. Just to be sure, UMTX_CONTESTED has been
removed from <sys/umtx.h>.

make the key name matching case-insensitive. There are some drivers
and .inf files that have mismatched cases, e.g. the driver will look
for "AdhocBand" whereas the .inf file specifies a registry key to be
created called "AdHocBand." The mismatch is probably a typo that went
undetected (so much for QA), but since Windows seems to be case-insensitive,
we should be too.
In if_ndis.c, initialize rates and channels correctly so that specify
frequences correctly when trying to set channels in the 5Ghz band, and
so that 802.11b rates show up for some a/b/g cards (which otherwise
appear to have no 802.11b modes).
Also, when setting OID_802_11_CONFIGURATION in ndis_80211_setstate(),
provide default values for the beacon interval, ATIM window and dwelltime.
The Atheros "Aries" driver will crash if you try to select ad-hoc mode
and leave the beacon interval set to 0: it blindly uses this value and
does a division by 0 in the interrupt handler, causing an integer
divide trap.
- Use the dh_inserted member of the dispatch header in the Windows
timer structure to indicate that the timer has been "inserted into
the timer queue" (i.e. armed via timeout()). Use this as the value
to return to the caller in KeCancelTimer(). Previously, I was using
callout_pending(), but you can't use that with timeout()/untimeout()
without creating a potential race condition.
- Make ntoskrnl_init_timer() just a wrapper around ntoskrnl_init_timer_ex()
(reduces some code duplication).
- Drop Giant when entering if_ndis.c:ndis_tick() and
subr_ntorkrnl.c:ntoskrnl_timercall(). At the moment, I'm forced to
use system callwheel via timeout()/untimeout() to handle timers rather
than the callout API (struct callout is too big to fit inside the
Windows struct KTIMER, so I'm kind of hosed). Unfortunately, all
the callouts in the callwhere are not marked as MPSAFE, so when
one of them fires, it implicitly acquires Giant before invoking the
callback routine (and releases it when it returns). I don't need to
hold Giant, but there's no way to stop the callout code from acquiring
it as long as I'm using timeout()/untimeout(), so for now we cheat
by just dropping Giant right away (and re-acquiring it right before
the routine returns so keep the callout code happy). At some point,
I will need to solve this better, but for now this should be a suitable
workaround.
(I hope.)
My original instinct to make ndis_return_packet() asynchronous was correct.
Making ndis_rxeof() submit packets to the stack asynchronously fixes
one recursive spinlock acquisition, but it's also possible for it to
happen via the ndis_txeof() path too. So:
- In if_ndis.c, revert ndis_rxeof() to its old behavior (and don't bother
putting ndis_rxeof_serial() back since we don't need it anymore).
- In kern_ndis.c, make ndis_return_packet() submit the call to the
MiniportReturnPacket() function to the "ndis swi" thread so that
it always happens in another context no matter who calls it.
