CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.
It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.
Some CTL features:
- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.
(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.
ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.
ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.
ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.
ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.
ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.
ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.
ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.
ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.
ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.
ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.
ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.
ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.
ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.
ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.
ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.
ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.
ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.
ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.
ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.
scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.
README.ctl.txt: CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.
usr.sbin/Makefile: Add ctladm.
ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c: ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
injecting errors and various other control
functions.
usr.bin/Makefile: Add ctlstat.
ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c: ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
It reports I/O statistics for CTL.
sys/conf/files: Add CTL files.
sys/conf/NOTES: Add device ctl.
sys/cam/scsi_all.h: To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
length field is now 2 bytes long.
Add several mode page definitions for CTL.
sys/cam/scsi_all.c: Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.
sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c: Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.
scsi_da.h: Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.
amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC: Add device ctl.
i386/conf/PAE: The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
cleanly on PAE.

o It adds significant time to the boot process (around 1 second/Gig in

driver would verify that requests for child devices were confined to any
existing I/O windows, but the driver relied on the firmware to initialize
the windows and would never grow the windows for new requests. Now the
driver actively manages the I/O windows.
This is implemented by allocating a bus resource for each I/O window from
the parent PCI bus and suballocating that resource to child devices. The
suballocations are managed by creating an rman for each I/O window. The
suballocated resources are mapped by passing the bus_activate_resource()
call up to the parent PCI bus. Windows are grown when needed by using
bus_adjust_resource() to adjust the resource allocated from the parent PCI
bus. If the adjust request succeeds, the window is adjusted and the
suballocation request for the child device is retried.
When growing a window, the rman_first_free_region() and
rman_last_free_region() routines are used to determine if the front or
end of the existing I/O window is free. From using that, the smallest
ranges that need to be added to either the front or back of the window
are computed. The driver will first try to grow the window in whichever
direction requires the smallest growth first followed by the other
direction if that fails.
Subtractive bridges will first attempt to satisfy requests for child
resources from I/O windows (including attempts to grow the windows). If
that fails, the request is passed up to the parent PCI bus directly
however.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver will try to use firmware-assigned ranges for
child BARs first and only allocate a "fresh" range if that specific range
cannot be accommodated in the I/O window. This allows systems where the
firmware assigns resources during boot but later wipes the I/O windows
(some ACPI BIOSen are known to do this) to "rediscover" the original I/O
window ranges.
The ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver has been adjusted to correctly honor
hw.acpi.host_mem_start and the I/O port equivalent when a PCI-PCI bridge
makes a wildcard request for an I/O window range.
The new PCI-PCI bridge driver is only enabled if the NEW_PCIB kernel option
is enabled. This is a transition aide to allow platforms that do not
yet support bus_activate_resource() and bus_adjust_resource() in their
Host-PCI bridge drivers (and possibly other drivers as needed) to use the
old driver for now. Once all platforms support the new driver, the
kernel option and old driver will be removed.

instead of 0x100000. As a side effect, an amd64 kernel now loads at
physical address 0x200000 instead of 0x100000. This is probably for the
best because it avoids the use of a 2MB page mapping for the first 1MB of
the kernel that also spans the fixed MTRRs. However, getmemsize() still
thinks that the kernel loads at 0x100000, and so the physical memory between
0x100000 and 0x200000 is lost. Fix this problem by replacing the hard-wired

access to the memory is slower than when multiple 2 MB page mappings are

However, it comes at the cost of enabling devices and options that may

for a simpler kernel configuration file rather than using nooptions/

Flushing TLBs is required to ensure cache coherency according to the AMD64
architecture manual. Flushing caches is only required when changing from a
cacheable memory type (WB, WP, or WT) to an uncacheable type (WC, UC, or
UC-). Since this function is only used once per processor during startup,
there is no need to take any shortcuts.
- Leave PAT indices 0-3 at the default of WB, WT, UC-, and UC. Program 5 as
WP (from default WT) and 6 as WC (from default UC-). Leave 4 and 7 at the
default of WB and UC. This is to avoid transition from a cacheable memory
type to an uncacheable type to minimize possible cache incoherency. Since
we perform flushing caches and TLBs now, this change may not be necessary
any more but we do not want to take any chances.
- Remove Apple hardware specific quirks. With the above changes, it seems
this hack is no longer needed.
- Improve pmap_cache_bits() with an array to map PAT memory type to index.
This array is initialized early from pmap_init_pat(), so that we do not need
to handle special cases in the function any more. Now this function is
identical on both amd64 and i386.
