Some 802.11n NICs may only have one physical antenna connected.
The radios will be very upset if you try enabling radios which aren't

This allows hints to override the TX and RX chainmask.
These hints are:

2. Make sure we call mps_detach_user() from the kldunload path.
3. Raid Hotplug behavior change.
The driver now removes a volume when it goes to a failed state,

5. Replace xpt_async(AC_LOST_DEVICE, path, NULL) with
mpssas_rescan_target().
This is to work around a panic in CAM that shows up when adding a
drive with a rescan and removing another device from the driver thread
with an AC_LOST_DEVICE async notification.
This problem was encountered in testing with the LSI sas2ircu utility,
which was used to create a RAID volume from physical disks. The driver
has to create the RAID volume target and remove the physical disk
targets, and triggered a panic in the process.
The CAM issue needs to be fully diagnosed and fixed, but this works
around the issue for now.
6. Fix some memory initialization issues in mps_free_command().
7. Resolve the "devq freeze forever" issue. This was caused by the
internal read capacity command issued in the non-head version of the

unfreezing thd device queue.
The version in head uses the CAM infrastructure for getting the read
capacity information, and therefore doesn't have the same issue.

hardware imposes strict limitations on hard buffer and block sizes.
Previous code set soft buffer to be no smaller then hard buffer. On some
cards with fixed 64K physical buffer that caused up to 800ms play latency.
New code allows to set soft buffer size down to just two blocks of the hard
buffer and to not write more then that size ahead to the hardware buffer.
As result of that change I was able to reduce full practically measured
record-playback loop delay in those conditions down to only about 115ms
with theoretical playback latency of only about 50ms.
New code works fine for both vchans and direct cases. In both cases sound(4)

Netmap-related changes for ixgbe:

On the RX side this means we will not check the ring more than once
per interrupt. This gives the process a chance to sleep and process
packets in larger batches, thus reducing CPU usage.
On the TX side we take this even further: completed transmissions are
reclaimed every half ring even if the NIC interrupts more often.
This saves even more CPU without any additional tx delays.
Generic Netmap-related changes:
- align the netmap_kring to cache lines so that there is no false sharing
(possibly useful for multiqueue NICs and MSIX interrupts, which are
handled by different cores). It's a minor improvement but it does not

selection in snd_hda(4) driver.
Now driver tracks jack presence detection status for every CODEC pin. For
playback associations, when configured, that information, same as before,
can be used to automatically redirect audio to headphones. Also same as
before, these events are used to track digital display connection status
and fetch ELD. Now in addition to that driver uses that information to
automatically switch recording source of the mixer to the connected input.
When there are devices with no jack detection and with one both connected,
last ones will have the precedence. As result, on most laptops after boot
internal microphone should be automatically selected. But if external one
(for example, headset) connected, it will be selected automatically.
When external mic disconnected, internal one will be selected again.

Previous code was relatively dumb. During CODEC probe it was tracing signals
and statically binding amplifier controls to the OSS mixer controls. To set
volume it just set all bound amplifier controls proportionally to mixer
level, not looking on their hierarchy and amplification levels/offsets.
New code is much smarter. It also traces signals during probe, but mostly
to find out possible amplification control rages in dB for each specific
signal. To set volume it retraces each affected signal again and sets
amplifiers controls recursively to reach desired amplification level in dB.
It would be nice to export values in dB to user, but unluckily our OSS mixer
API is too simple for that.
As result of this change:
- cascaded amplifiers will work together to reach maximal precision.
If some input has 0/+40dB preamplifier with 10dB step and -10/+10dB mixer
with 1dB step after it, new code will use both to provide 0/+40dB control
with 1dB step! We could even get -10/+50dB range there, but that is
intentionally blocked for now.
- different channels of multichannel associations on non-uniform CODECs
such as VIA VT1708S will have the same volume, not looking that control
ranges are different. It was not good when fronts were 12dB louder.
- for multiplexed recording, when we can record from only one source at
a time, we can now use recording amplifier controls to set different
volume levels for different inputs if they have no own controls of they
are less precise. If recording source change, amplifiers will be
reconfigured.
To improve out-of-the-box behavior, ignore default volume levels set by
sound(4) and use own, more reasonable: +20dB for mics, -10dB for analog
output volume and 0dB for the rest of controls. sound(4) defaults of 75%
mean absolutely random things for different controls of different CODECs
because of very different control ranges.
Together with further planned automatic recording source selection this
should allow users to get fine playback and recording without touching
mixer first.
Note that existing users should delete /var/db/mixer*-state and reboot
or trigger CODEC reconfiguration to get new default values.

select the enabled extensions.
- Remove the FPU save area from PCB and dynamically allocate the
(run-time sized) user save area on the top of the kernel stack,
right above the PCB. Reorganize the thread0 PCB initialization to
postpone it after BSP is queried for save area size.
- The dumppcb, stoppcbs and susppcbs now do not carry the FPU state as
well. FPU state is only useful for suspend, where it is saved in
dynamically allocated suspfpusave area.
- Use XSAVE and XRSTOR to save/restore FPU state, if supported and
enabled.
- Define new mcontext_t flag _MC_HASFPXSTATE, indicating that
mcontext_t has a valid pointer to out-of-struct extended FPU
state. Signal handlers are supplied with stack-allocated fpu
state. The sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2) syscall honour the flag,
allowing the signal handlers to inspect and manipilate extended
state in the interrupted context.
- The getcontext(2) never returns extended state, since there is no
place in the fixed-sized mcontext_t to place variable-sized save
area. And, since mcontext_t is embedded into ucontext_t, makes it
impossible to fix in a reasonable way. Instead of extending
getcontext(2) syscall, provide a sysarch(2) facility to query
extended FPU state.
- Add ptrace(2) support for getting and setting extended state; while
there, implement missed PT_I386_{GET,SET}XMMREGS for 32bit binaries.
- Change fpu_kern KPI to not expose struct fpu_kern_ctx layout to
consumers, making it opaque. Internally, struct fpu_kern_ctx now
contains a space for the extended state. Convert in-kernel consumers

From all evidence i could gather, it seems that when the 82599 has to
write a data block that is not a full cache line, it first reads
the line (64 bytes) and then writes back the updated version.
This hurts reception of min-sized frames, which are only 60 bytes
if the CRC is stripped: i could never get above 11Mpps
(received from one queue) with CRCSTRIP enabled, whyle 64+4-byte
packets reach 14.2 Mpps (the theoretical maximum).
Leaving the CRC in gets us 14.88Mpps for 60+4 byte frames,
(and penalizes 64+4). The min-size case is important not just because
it looks good in benchmarks, but also because this is the size
of pure acks.
Note we cannot leave CRCSTRIP on by default because it is
incompatible with some other features (LRO etc.)
of HDA bus. Handle that from two directions:
- Add support for "striping" (using several SDO lines), if supported.
- Account HDA bus utilization and return error on new stream allocation
attempt if remaining bandwidth is unsifficient.

- 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,

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.

This uses the emuxkireg.h already used in the emu10k1
snd driver. Special thanks go to Alexander Motin as
he was able to find some errors and reverse engineer
some wrong values in the emuxkireg header.
The emu10kx driver is now free from the GPL.

This introduces:
* a basic wtap interface
* a HAL, which implements an abstraction layer for implementing
different device behavious;
* A visibility plugin, which allows for control over which nodes
see other nodes (useful for mesh work.)
It doesn't yet implement sta/adhoc/hostap modes but these are quite
feasible to implement.
Monthadar uses it to do 802.11s mesh verification.
The userland tools will be committed in a follow-up commit.

the memory allocator used by netmap. No functional change,
two small bug fixes:
- in if_re.c add a missing bus_dmamap_sync()
- in netmap.c comment out a spurious free() in an error handling block
where they've disabled all the wireless devices/framework.
This is just a build workaround. If you're actively using wireless,
you must still define AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 as I'm not sure what else
will break!
The real solution is to make the module build depend if AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
is defined, as well as make the 11n code in if_ath_tx.c and if_ath_tx_ht.c
completely optional (maybe depend upon ATH_SUPPORT_11N.)

It seems strchr() and strrchr() are used more often than index() and
rindex(). Therefore, simply migrate all kernel code to use it.
For the XFS code, remove an empty line to make the code identical to
the code in the Linux kernel.
