Add ale(4), a driver for Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCIe ethernet controller. The controller is also known as L1E(AR8121) and L2E(AR8113/AR8114). Unlike its predecessor Attansic L1, AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 uses completely different Rx logic such that it requires separate driver. Datasheet for AR81xx is not available to open source driver writers but it shares large part of Tx and PHY logic of L1. I still don't understand some part of register meaning and some MAC statistics counters but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and stability. The AR81xx requires copy operation to pass received frames to upper stack such that ale(4) consumes a lot of CPU cycles than that of other controller. A couple of silicon bugs also adds more CPU cycles to address the known hardware bug. However, if you have fast CPU you can still saturate the link. Currently ale(4) supports the following hardware features. - MSI. - TCP Segmentation offload. - Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping with checksum offload. - Tx TCP/UDP checksum offload and Rx IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload. - Tx/Rx interrupt moderation. - Hardware statistics counters. - Jumbo frame. - WOL. AR81xx PCIe ethernet controllers are mainly found on ASUS EeePC or P5Q series of ASUS motherboards. Special thanks to Jeremy Chadwick who sent the hardware to me. Without his donation writing a driver for AR81xx would never have been possible. Big thanks to all people who reported feedback or tested patches.

Take the support for the 8139C+/8169/8169S/8110S chips out of the rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately I may change this. For now, it's convenient.) rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+ chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the following updates: - Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit. (This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list. - Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers, but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just in case re_start() doesn't do it for us. - Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt - Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach() ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init() to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init() here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and blows up the system. To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(), which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip. - Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE chips. The layout is different because the frame length field was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the status bits to make room. - Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high). This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment, I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a software workaround, this will have do to.) - Created re(4) man page - Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4). Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips. RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet. I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).

You can also compile in the hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well. There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme, things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings. I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/ Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and 'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device' takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that 'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units. All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.

Borrow phk's axe and apply the next stage of config(8)'s evolution. Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the resource table at boot time. config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time: set hint.ed.0.port=0x320 userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that. It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC as an example.

device tun # Packet tunnel.
Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system. The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following: - Improved driver model: The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into TTY buffers. If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer (still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver. - Improved hotplugging: With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design, where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be used to free resources (unit numbers, etc). The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly. - Improved performance: One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking. Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters. Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions, existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
