The USB code as it stands includes the bus glue along _with_ the controller
code. So the ohci/ehci modules actually build the USB controller code and
the PCI bus glue.
It'd be nice to ship separate modules for the PCI glue and the USB
controller (so for example if there were a USB controller hanging off
the internal SoC bus as well as an external PCI device) it could be done.

- Huge old hdac driver was split into three independent pieces: HDA
controller driver (hdac), HDA CODEC driver (hdacc) and HDA sudio function
driver (hdaa).
- Support for multichannel recording was added. Now, as specification
defines, driver checks input associations for pins with sequence numbers
14 and 15, and if found (usually) -- works as before, mixing signals
together. If it doesn't, it configures input association as multichannel.
- Signal tracer was improved to look for cases where several DACs/ADCs in
CODEC can work with the same audio signal. If such case found, driver
registers additional playback/record stream (channel) for the pcm device.
- New controller streams reservation mechanism was implemented. That
allows to have more pcm devices then streams supported by the controller
(usually 4 in each direction). Now it limits only number of simultaneously
transferred audio streams, that is rarely reachable and properly reported
if happens.
- Codec pins and GPIO signals configuration was exported via set of
writable sysctls. Another sysctl dev.hdaa.X.reconfig allows to trigger
driver reconfiguration in run-time.
- Driver now decodes pins location and connector type names. In some cases
it allows to hint user where on the system case connectors, related to the
pcm device, are located. Number of channels supported by pcm device,
reported now (if it is not 2), should also make search easier.
- Added workaround for digital mic on some Asus laptops/netbooks.

(reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being
zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we
hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
attach a miibus(4) instance.
Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

The AR9130 is an AR9160/AR5416 family WMAC which is glued directly
to the AR913x SoC peripheral bus (APB) rather than via a PCI/PCIe
bridge.
The specifics:
* A new build option is required to use the AR9130 - AH_SUPPORT_AR9130.
This is needed due to the different location the RTC registers live
with this chip; hopefully this will be undone in the future.
This does currently mean that enabling this option will break non-AR9130
builds, so don't enable it unless you're specifically building an image
for the AR913x SoC.
* Add the new probe, attach, EEPROM and PLL methods specific to Howl.
* Add a work-around to ah_eeprom_v14.c which disables some of the checks
for endian-ness and magic in the EEPROM image if an eepromdata block
is provided. This'll be fixed at a later stage by porting the ath9k
probe code and making sure it doesn't break in other setups (which
my previous attempt at this did.)
* Sprinkle Howl modifications throughput the interrupt path - it doesn't
implement the SYNC interrupt registers, so ignore those.
* Sprinkle Howl chip powerup/down throughout the reset path; the RTC methods
were
* Sprinkle some other Howl workarounds in the reset path.
* Hard-code an alternative setup for the AR_CFG register for Howl, that
sets up things suitable for Big-Endian MIPS (which is the only platform
this chip is glued to.)
This has been tested on the AR913x based TP-Link WR-1043nd mode, in
legacy, HT/20 and HT/40 modes.
Caveats:
* 2ghz has only been tested. I've not seen any 5ghz radios glued to this
chipset so I can't test it.
* AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION is not supported on the AR9130. At least,
it isn't implemented in ath9k. Please don't enable this.
* This hasn't been tested in MBSS mode or in RX/TX block-aggregation mode.

generally tidy up the TX power programming code.
Enforce that the TX power offset for Merlin is -5 dBm, rather than
any other value programmable in the EEPROM. This requires some
further code to be ported over from ath9k, so until that is done
and tested, fail to attach NICs whose TX power offset isn't -5
dBm.
This improves both legacy and HT transmission on my merlin board.
It allows for stable MCS TX up to MCS15.
Specifics:
* Refactor out a bunch of the TX power calibration code -
setting/obtaining the power detector / gain boundaries,
programming the PDADC
* Take the -5 dBm TX power offset into account on Merlin -
"0" in the per-rate TX power register means -5 dBm, not
0 dBm
* When doing OLC
* Enforce min (0) and max (AR5416_MAX_RATE_POWER) when fiddling
with the TX power, to avoid the TX power values from wrapping
when low.
* Implement the 1 dBm cck power offset when doing OLC
* Implement temperature compensation for 2.4ghz mode when doing OLC
* Implement an AR9280 specific TX power calibration routine which
includes the OLC twiddles, leaving the earlier chipset path
(AR5416, AR9160) alone
Whilst here, use these refactored routines for the AR9285 TX power
calibration/programming code and enforce correct overflow/underflow
handling when fiddling with TX power values.

The AR5416 and later TX descriptors have new fields for supporting
11n bits (eg 20/40mhz mode, short/long GI) and enabling/disabling
RTS/CTS protection per rate.
These functions will be responsible for initialising the TX descriptors
for the AR5416 and later chips for both HT and legacy frames.
Beacon frames will remain using the non-11n TX descriptor setup for now;
Linux ath9k does much the same.
Note that these functions aren't yet used anywhere; a few more framework
changes are needed before all of the right rate information is available
for TX.
algorithm described in the paper "Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for
delay based TCP congestion control" by Hayes and Armitage. It is implemented as
a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular congestion
control framework.
CHD enhances the approach taken by the Hamilton-Delay (HD) algorithm to provide
tolerance to non-congestion related packet loss and improvements to coexistence
with loss-based congestion control algorithms. A key idea in improving
coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms is the use of a shadow
window, which attempts to track how NewReno's congestion window (cwnd) would
evolve. At the next packet loss congestion event, CHD uses the shadow window to
correct cwnd in a way that reduces the amount of unfairness CHD experiences when
competing with loss-based algorithms.

algorithm based on the paper "A strategy for fair coexistence of loss and
delay-based congestion control algorithms" by Budzisz, Stanojevic, Shorten and
Baker. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently
committed modular congestion control framework.
HD uses a probabilistic approach to reacting to delay-based congestion. The
probability of reducing cwnd is zero when the queuing delay is very small,
increasing to a maximum at a set threshold, then back down to zero again when
the queuing delay is high. Normal operation keeps the queuing delay below the
set threshold. However, since loss-based congestion control algorithms push the
queuing delay high when probing for bandwidth, having the probability of
reducing cwnd drop back to zero for high delays allows HD to compete with
loss-based algorithms.

based on the paper "TCP Vegas: end to end congestion avoidance on a global
internet" by Brakmo and Peterson. It is implemented as a kernel module
compatible with the recently committed modular congestion control framework.
VEGAS uses network delay as a congestion indicator and unlike regular loss-based
algorithms, attempts to keep the network operating with stable queuing delays
and no congestion losses. By keeping network buffers used along the path within
a set range, queuing delays are kept low while maintaining high throughput.

There's two reasons for this:
* the raw and non-raw TX path shares a lot of duplicate code which should be

* the 11n-ready chip TX path needs a little reworking.

replace mii_phy_probe() altogether. Compared to the latter the advantages
of mii_attach() are:
- intended to be called multiple times in order to attach PHYs in multiple
passes (f.e. in order to only use sub-ranges of the 0 to MII_NPHY - 1
range)
- being able to pass along the capability mask from the NIC to the PHY
drivers
- being able to specify at which address (phyloc) to probe for a PHY
(instead of always probing at all addresses from 0 to MII_NPHY - 1)
- being able to specify which PHY instance (offloc) to attach
- being able to pass along MIIF_* flags from the NIC to the PHY drivers
(f.e. as required to indicated to the PHY drivers that flow control is
supported by the NIC driver, which actually is the motivation for this
change).
While at it, I used the opportunity to get rid of some hacks in mii(4)
like miibus_probe() generally doing work besides sheer probing and the
"EVIL HACK" (which will vanish entirely along with mii_phy_probe()) by
passing the struct ifnet pointer via an argument of mii_attach() as well
as to fix some resource leaks in mii(4) in case something fails.
Commits which will update the PHY drivers to honor the MII flags passed
down from the NIC drivers and take advantage of mii_attach() to get rid
of certain types of hacks in NIC and PHY drivers as well as a conversion
of the remaining uses of mii_phy_probe() will follow shortly.

This driver supports basic I/O, and works with SAS and SATA drives and

Basic error recovery works (i.e. timeouts and aborts) as well.
Integrated RAID isn't supported yet, and there are some known bugs.
So this isn't ready for production use, but is certainly ready for
testing and additional development. For the moment, new commits to this
driver should go into the FreeBSD Perforce repository first
(//depot/projects/mps/...) and then get merged into -current once
they've been vetted.
This has only been added to the amd64 GENERIC, since that is the only

Add kernel side support for Secure Neighbor Discovery (SeND), RFC 3971.
The implementation consists of a kernel module that gets packets from
the nd6 code, sends them to user space on a dedicated socket and reinjects
them back for further processing.
Hooks are used from nd6 code paths to divert relevant packets to the
send implementation for processing in user space. The hooks are only
triggered if the send module is loaded. In case no user space
application is connected to the send socket, processing continues
normaly as if the module would not be loaded. Unloading the module
is not possible at this time due to missing nd6 locking.
The native SeND socket is similar to a raw IPv6 socket but with its own,
internal pseudo-protocol.
