ccache is mostly beneficial for frequent builds where -DNO_CLEAN is not
used to achieve a safe pseudo-incremental build. This is explained in
more detail upstream [1] [2]. It incurs about a 20%-28% hit to populate the
cache, but with a full cache saves 30-50% in build times. When combined with
the WITH_FAST_DEPEND feature it saves up to 65% since ccache does cache the
resulting dependency file, which it does not do when using mkdep(1)/'CC
-E'. Stats are provided at the end of this message.
This removes the need to modify /etc/make.conf with the CC:= and CXX:=
lines which conflicted with external compiler support [3] (causing the
bootstrap compiler to not be built which lead to obscure failures [4]),
incorrectly invoked ccache in various stages, required CCACHE_CPP2 to avoid
Clang errors with parenthesis, and did not work with META_MODE.
The option name was picked to match the existing option in ports. This
feature is available for both in-src and out-of-src builds that use
/usr/share/mk.
Linking, assembly compiles, and pre-processing avoid using ccache since it is
only overhead. ccache does nothing special in these modes, although there is
no harm in calling it for them.
CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK is set to 'content' when using the in-tree bootstrap
compiler to hash the content of the compiler binary to determine if it
should be a cache miss. For external compilers the 'mtime' option is used
as it is more efficient and likely to be correct. Future work may optimize the
'content' check using the same checks as whether a bootstrap compiler is needed
to be built.
The CCACHE_CPP2 pessimization is currently default in our devel/ccache
port due to Clang requiring it. Clang's -Wparentheses-equality,
-Wtautological-compare, and -Wself-assign warnings do not mix well with
compiling already-pre-processed code that may have expanded macros that
trigger the warnings. GCC has so far not had this issue so it is allowed to
disable the CCACHE_CPP2 default in our port.
Sharing a cache between multiple checkouts, or systems, is explained in
the ccache manual. Sharing a cache over NFS would likely not be worth
it, but syncing cache directories between systems may be useful for an
organization. There is also a memcached backend available [5]. Due to using
an object directory outside of the source directory though you will need to
ensure that both are in the same prefix and all users use the same layout. A
possible working layout is as follows:
Source: /some/prefix/src1
Source: /some/prefix/src2
Source: /some/prefix/src3
Objdir: /some/prefix/obj
Environment: CCACHE_BASEDIR='${SRCTOP:H}' MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX='${SRCTOP:H}/obj'
This will use src*/../obj as the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and tells ccache to replace
all absolute paths to be relative. Using something like this is required due
to -I and -o flags containing both SRC and OBJDIR absolute paths that ccache
adds into its hash for the object without CCACHE_BASEDIR.
distcc can be hooked into by setting CCACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/bin/distcc.
I have not personally tested this and assume it will not mix well with
using the bootstrap compiler.
The cache from buildworld can be reused in a subdir by first running
'make buildenv' (from r290424).
Note that the cache is currently different depending on whether -j is
used or not due to ccache enabling -fdiagnostics-color automatically if
stderr is a TTY, which bmake only does if not using -j.

Switch to macb for HL201 and SAM9G20EK boards. It now works both
places. Also start to sneak up on FDT for the SAM9G20EK board, but
leave disabled due to issues with MMC that haven't been resolved.
Add early debug support for the SAM9G20EK since that is required
for FDT to work presently on these SoC.
This speeds up buildworld by 16% on my system and buildkernel by 35%.
Rather than calling mkdep(1), which is just a wrapper around 'cc -E',
use the modern -MD -MT -MF flags to gather and generate dependencies during
compilation. This flag was introduced in GCC "a long time ago", in GCC 3.0,
and is also supported by Clang. (It appears that ICC also supports this but I
do not have access to test it). This avoids running the preprocessor *twice*
for every build, in both 'make depend' and 'make all'. This is especially
noticeable when using ccache since it does not cache preprocessor results from
mkdep(1) / 'cc -E', but still speeds up compilation with the -MD flags.
For 'make depend' a tree-walk is still done to ensure that all DPSRCS
are generated when expected, and that beforedepend/afterdepend and
_EXTRADEPEND are all still respected. In time this may change but for now
I've been conservative. The time for a tree-walk with -j combined with
SUBDIR_PARALLEL is not significant. For example, it takes about 9 seconds
with -j15 to walk all of src/ for 'make depend' now on my system.
A .depend file is still generated with the various rules that apply to
the final target, or custom rules. Otherwise there are now
per-built-object-file .depend files, such as .depend.filename.o. These
are included directly by make rather than populating .depend with a loop
and .depend lines, which only added overhead to the now almost-NOP 'make
depend' phase.
Before this I experimented with having mkdep(1) called in parallel per-file.
While this improved the kernel and lib/libc 'make depend' phase, it resulted
in slower build times overall.
The -M flags are removed from CFLAGS when linking since they have no effect.
Enabling this by default, for src or out-of-src, can be done once more testing
has been done, such as a ports exp-run, and with more compilers.

This commit introduces support for etherswitch devices that utilize SMI as
a way of accessing its registers. SMI register is located in address space
of mge -- access to it was exported through MDIO interface.
Attachment functions were enhanced so as to ensure proper initialisation
in both cases: 1) PHYs attached directly to mge, 2) PHYs attached to
switch device and switch attached to mge. Attachment of etherswitch device
depends on dts entry with compatible="mrvl,sw" property. If none is found,
typical PHY attachment procedure follows.
In case of switch attached, PHYs' status and configuration is accessible
via etherswitchcfg, and ifconfig shows always-up, non-configurable mge
interfaces.
Due to the fact that there may be simultaneous accessess to SMI
registers (e.g. from PHY attached to one of mge instances and switch
to the other), SMI access interlock was added. It is SX lock,
because sleep ability is necessary -- busy-waiting would result
in poor performance due to long delays required by hardware.
Underlying switch driver is obliged to use sleepable locks as well.

and armv6 architecures. The primary enhancement over the old design is
support for hierarchical interrupt controllers (such as a gpio driver
which can receive interrupts from a root PIC and act as a PIC itself for
clients interested in handling a change of gpio pin state as an
interrupt). The new code also provides an infrastructure for mapping
interrupts described in metadata in the form of a "controller reference
plus interrupt number" tuple into the simple "0-n" flat numeric space
understood by rman and the bus resource mechanisms.
Use of the new code is enabled by setting the ARM_INTRNG option, and by
making a few simple changes to the platform's support code. In addition
each existing PIC driver needs changes to be ready for INTRNG; this commit
contains the changes for the arm/gic driver, which most armv6 SoCs use, but
it does not enable the new code yet on any platform.
This project has been many years in the making, starting as a GSoC project
by Jakub Klama (jceel@) in 2012. That didn't get committed right away and
the source base evolved out from under it to some degree. In 2014 I rebased
the diffs to then -current and did some enhancements in the area of mapping
interrupt numbers and storing associated fdt data, then the project went
cold again for a while. Eventually Svata Kraus took that work in progress
and did another big round of work on it, removing most of the remaining
rough edges. Finally I took that and made one more pass through it, mostly
disabling the "INTR_SOLO" feature for now, pending further design
discussions on how to most efficiently dispatch a pending interrupt through
more than one layer of PIC. The current code with the INTR_SOLO feature
disabled uses approximate 100 extra cpu cycles for each cascaded PIC the
interrupt has to be passed to, so what's left to do is about efficiency, not
correct operation.

packets and/or state transitions from each TCP socket. That would help with
narrowing down certain problems we see in the field that are hard to reproduce
without understanding the history of how we got into a certain state. This
change provides just that.
It saves copies of the last N packets in a list in the tcpcb. When the tcpcb is
destroyed, the list is freed. I thought this was likely to be more
performance-friendly than saving copies of the tcpcb. Plus, with the packets,
you should be able to reverse-engineer what happened to the tcpcb.
To enable the feature, you will need to compile a kernel with the TCPPCAP
option. Even then, the feature defaults to being deactivated. You can activate
it by setting a positive value for the number of captured packets. You can do
that on either a global basis or on a per-socket basis (via a setsockopt call).
There is no way to get the packets out of the kernel other than using kmem or
getting a coredump. I thought that would help some of the legal/privacy concerns
regarding such a feature. However, it should be possible to add a future effort
to export them in PCAP format.
I tested this at low scale, and found that there were no mbuf leaks and the peak
mbuf usage appeared to be unchanged with and without the feature.
The main performance concern I can envision is the number of mbufs that would be
used on systems with a large number of sockets. If you save five packets per
direction per socket and have 3,000 sockets, that will consume at least 30,000
mbufs just to keep these packets. I tried to reduce the concerns associated with
this by limiting the number of clusters (not mbufs) that could be used for this
feature. Again, in my testing, that appears to work correctly.

The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on
an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may
lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer.
Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has
to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed.
Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but
the driver has not been reworked.
This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set
of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall
interface.
Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires
additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be

this case by not providing the OFW_PCI_CS_MEM64 range. [1]

CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.
