bits of the register is used for other purposes such that clearing
these bits resulted in unexpected results such as corrupted RX
frames or missing LE status updates. For old controllers like
Yukon EC it had no effect but it caused all kind of troubles on
Yukon Supreme.
This change shall improve stability of controllers like Yukon
Ultra, Ultra2, Extreme, Optima and Supreme.
After controller updates control word in a RX LE, driver converts
it to host byte order. The checksum value in the control word is
stored in big endian form by controller. r205091 didn't account for
the host byte order conversion such that the checksum value was
incorrectly interpreted on big endian architectures which in turn
made all TCP/UDP frames dropped. Make RX checksum offload work
on any architectures by swapping the checksum value.

support in mii(4):
- Merge generic flow control advertisement (which can be enabled by
passing by MIIF_DOPAUSE to mii_attach(9)) and parsing support from
NetBSD into mii_physubr.c and ukphy_subr.c. Unlike as in NetBSD,
IFM_FLOW isn't implemented as a global option via the "don't care
mask" but instead as a media specific option this. This has the
following advantages:
o allows flow control advertisement with autonegotiation to be
turned on and off via ifconfig(8) with the default typically
being off (though MIIF_FORCEPAUSE has been added causing flow
control to be always advertised, allowing to easily MFC this
changes for drivers that previously used home-grown support for
flow control that behaved that way without breaking POLA)
o allows to deal with PHY drivers where flow control advertisement
with manual selection doesn't work or at least isn't implemented,
like it's the case with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4),
by setting MIIF_NOMANPAUSE
o the available combinations of media options are readily available
from the `ifconfig -m` output
- Add IFM_FLOW to IFM_SHARED_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS and IFM_ETH_RXPAUSE
and IFM_ETH_TXPAUSE to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so
these are understood by ifconfig(8).
o Make the master/slave support in mii(4) actually usable:
- Change IFM_ETH_MASTER from being implemented as a global option via
the "don't care mask" to a media specific one as it actually is only
applicable to IFM_1000_T to date.
- Let mii_phy_setmedia() set GTCR_MAN_MS in IFM_1000_T slave mode to
actually configure manually selected slave mode (like we also do in
the PHY specific implementations).
- Add IFM_ETH_MASTER to IFM_SUBTYPE_ETHERNET_OPTION_DESCRIPTIONS so it
is understood by ifconfig(8).
o Switch bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along with brgphy(4),
e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to use the generic flow control support
instead of home-grown solutions via IFM_FLAGs. This includes changing
these PHY drivers and smcphy(4) to no longer unconditionally advertise
support for flow control but only if the selected media has IFM_FLOW
set (or MIIF_FORCEPAUSE is set) and implemented for these media variants,
i.e. typically only for copper.
o Switch brgphy(4), ciphy(4), e1000phy(4) and ip1000phy(4) to report and
set IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER instead of via IFF_LINK0
and some IFM_FLAGn.
o Switch brgphy(4) to add at least the the supported copper media based on
the contents of the BMSR via mii_phy_add_media() instead of hardcoding
them. The latter approach seems to have developed historically, besides
causing unnecessary code duplication it was also undesirable because
brgphy_mii_phy_auto() already based the capability advertisement on the
contents of the BMSR though.
o Let brgphy(4) set IFM_1000_T master mode on all supported PHY and not
just BCM5701. Apparently this was a misinterpretation of a workaround
in the Linux tg3 driver; BCM5701 seem to require RGPHY_1000CTL_MSE and
BRGPHY_1000CTL_MSC to be set when configuring autonegotiation but
this doesn't mean we can't set these as well on other PHYs for manual
media selection.
o Let ukphy_status() report IFM_1000_T master mode via IFM_ETH_MASTER so
IFM_1000_T master mode support now is generally available with all PHY
drivers.
o Don't let e1000phy(4) set master/slave bits for IFM_1000_SX as it's
not applicable there.

the NIC drivers as well as the PHY drivers to take advantage of the
mii_attach() introduced in r213878 to get rid of certain hacks. For
the most part these were:
- Artificially limiting miibus_{read,write}reg methods to certain PHY
addresses; we now let mii_attach() only probe the PHY at the desired
address(es) instead.
- PHY drivers setting MIIF_* flags based on the NIC driver they hang
off from, partly even based on grabbing and using the softc of the
parent; we now pass these flags down from the NIC to the PHY drivers
via mii_attach(). This got us rid of all such hacks except those of
brgphy() in combination with bce(4) and bge(4), which is way beyond
what can be expressed with simple flags.
While at it, I took the opportunity to change the NIC drivers to pass
up the error returned by mii_attach() (previously by mii_phy_probe())
and unify the error message used in this case where and as appropriate
as mii_attach() actually can fail for a number of reasons, not just
because of no PHY(s) being present at the expected address(es).

calling msk_stop() in device_shutdown handler. While I'm here
remove unnecessary accesses to interrupt mask registers in
device_shutdown handler because driver puts the controller into
reset state.
With these changes, msk(4) now survive from heavy RX traffic(1byte

RX FIFO overruns even though controller has available RX buffers.
These excessive RX FIFO overruns generated lots of pause frames
which in turn killed devices plugged into switch. It seems there is
still occasional RX frame corruption on Yukon Extreme but this
change seems to fix the pause frame storm.

Just relying on status LE ownership of status block seems to cause
poor performance. Always read current status index register first
and then check status ownership as we had before. Accessing status
index register seems to trigger immediate status update if
controller have pending status updates.

Yukon FE and Yukon Ultra2. These controllers provide very simple
checksum computation mechanism and it requires additional pseudo
header checksum computation in upper stack. Even though I couldn't
see much performance difference with/without Rx checksum offloading
it may help notebook based controllers.
Actually controller can compute two checksum value by giving
different starting position of checksum computation on received
frame. However, for long time, Marvell's checksum offloading engine
have been known to have several silicon bugs so don't blindly trust
computed partial checksum value. Instead, compute partial checksum
twice by giving the same checksum computation position and compare
the result. If the value is different it's clear indication of
hardware bug. This configuration lose IP checksum offloading
capability but I think it's better to take safe route.
Note, Rx checksum offloading for Yukon XL was still disabled due to
known silicon bug.
does not generate excessive interrupts any more so we don't need
to have two copies of interrupt handler.
While I'm here remove two STAT_PUT_IDX register accesses in LE
status event handler. After r204539 msk(4) always sync status LEs
so there is no need to resort to reading STAT_PUT_IDX register to
know the end of status LE processing. Just trust status LE's
ownership bit.
countdown timer register. The timer resolution may vary among
controllers but the value would be represented by core clock
cycles. msk(4) will automatically computes number of required clock
cycles from given micro-seconds unit.
The default interrupt holdoff timer value is 100us which will
ensure less than 10k interrupts under load. The timer value can be
changed with dev.mskc.0.int_holdoff sysctl node.
Note, the interrupt moderation is shared resource on dual-port
controllers so you can't use separate interrupt moderation value
for each port. This means we can't stop interrupt moderation in
driver stop routine. Also have msk_tick() reclaim transmitted Tx
buffers as safety belt. With this change there is no need to check
missing Tx completion interrupt in watchdog handler, so remove it.
full-duplex. Previously msk(4) used to allow flow-control on
1000baseT half-duplex media. Also GMAC pause is enabled if link
partner is capable of handling it.
While I'm here use IFM_OPTIONS instead of using IFM_GMASK to check
optional flags of link.
for controllers like 88E8053 which reports two MSI messages.
Because we don't get anything useful things with 2 MSI messages,
allocating 1 MSI message would be more sane approach.
While I'm here, enable MSI for dual-port controllers too. Because
status block is shared for dual-port controllers, I don't think
msk(4) will encounter problem for using MSI on dual-port
controllers.
The register offset is not valid on 88E8072 controller. Also don't
blindly increase max read request size to 4096, instead, use 2048
which seems to be more sane value and only change the value if the
hardware default size(512) was used on that register.
For PCIX controllers, use system defined constant rather than using
magic value.
While I'm here stop showing negotiated link width.
not require checksum LE configuration if checksum start and write
position is the same as before. So keep track last checksum start
and write position and insert new LE whenever the position is
changed. This reduces number of LEs used in TX path as well as
slightly enhance TX performance.

showing the message creates other side-effects. Remove the Rx
FIFO overrun message in interrupt handler. msk(4) should recover
from the FIFO overruns without any user intervention. Users can
still check the Rx FIFO overrun counter from MAC MIB statistics
maintained in driver(dev.msk.0.stats.rx.overflows).
Unlike most other PHYs there is no easy way to know which media
type the PHY supports on Marvell PHYs. MIIF_HAVEFIBER flags is now
passed via bus-specific instance variable of a device. While I'm
here add 88E1112 specific work around to set SIGDET polarity low.
