the chances it still works. Without hardware to teset it on, or
prospects of obtaining such hardware and without vendor support, it's

it's at least 5 years out of production. I couldn't find a used one on

hasn't been updated since.
Discussed on: mips@ (with some dissent)
It came into the tree with the project/mips merge 8 years ago. At the
time, it was hard to find a board with enough RAM to run. Now FreeBSD
requires at least 2x the RAM it did then. No changes have happened to
this port apart from API churn and license tagging since then. It ran
OK at the time it was committed, but no sightings in the wild have
happened since shortly after it was committed.
https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Adm5120_devices lists a bunch of
boards that were available 5 years ago (but are no longer
available). The beefiest one had only 64MB of RAM which is too
small. The Mirktik RB1xx never had more than 32MB.

never got better. It never worked on real hardware and is still mostly
stubs after 8 years when I added it. It has had no real update in that
time apart from API churn. It was added just so it didn't get lost in
the project/mips merge, but maybe it should have been lost as nothing
has come of it. It is time to give up the ghost on this one.

They provide relaxed-ordered atomic access semantic. Due to the
FreeBSD memory model, the operations are syntaxical wrappers around
the volatile accesses. The volatile qualifier is used to ensure that
the access not optimized out and in turn depends on the volatile
semantic as implemented by supported compilers.
The motivation for adding the operation is to help people coming from
other systems or knowing the C11/C++ standards where atomics have
special type and require use of the special access operations. It is
still the case that FreeBSD requires plain load and stores of aligned
integer types to be atomic.

The bwn(4) driver requires a number of extensions to the bhnd(4) PMU
interface to support external configuration of PLLs, LDOs, and other
parameters that require chipset or PHY-specific workarounds.
These changes add support for:
- Writing raw voltage register values to PHY-specific LDO regulator
registers (required by LP-PHY).
- Enabling/disabling PHY-specific LDOs (required by LP-PHY)
- Writing to arbitrary PMU chipctrl registers (required for common PHY PLL
reset support).
- Requesting chipset/PLL-specific spurious signal avoidance modes.
- Querying clock frequency and latency.
Additionally, rather than updating legacy PWRCTL support to conform to the
new PMU interface:
- PWRCTL API is now provided by a bhnd_pwrctl_if.m interface.
- Since PWRCTL is only found in older SSB-based chipsets, translation from
bhnd(4) bus APIs to corresponding PWRCTL operations is now handled
entirely within the siba(4) driver.
- The PWRCTL-specific host bridge clock gating APIs in bhnd_bus_if.m have
been lifted out into a standalone bhnd_pwrctl_hostb_if.m interface.

BHND Wi-Fi chipsets and SoCs share a common DMA engine, operating within
backplane address space. To support host DMA on Wi-Fi chipsets, the bridge
core maps host address space onto the backplane; any host addresses must
be translated to their corresponding backplane address.
- Defines a new bhnd_get_dma_translation(9) API to support querying DMA
address translation parameters from the bhnd(4) bus.
- Extends bhndb(4) to provide DMA translation descriptors from a DMA
address translation table defined in the host bridge-specific

- Defines bhndb(4) DMA address translation tables for all supported host

On BHND MIPS SoCs, this replaces the use of hard-coded MIPS IRQ#s in the
common bhnd(4) core drivers; we now register an INTRNG child PIC that
handles routing of backplane interrupt vectors via the MIPS core.
On BHND PCI devices, backplane interrupt vectors are now routed to the
PCI/PCIe host bridge core when bus_setup_intr() is called, where they are
dispatched by the PCI core via a host interrupt (e.g. INTx/MSI).
The bhndb(4) bridge driver tracks registered interrupt handlers for the
bridged bhnd(4) devices and manages backplane interrupt routing, while
delegating actual bus interrupt setup/teardown to the parent bus on behalf
of the bridged cores.

All of the kernel dump implementations keep track of the current offset

all write the dump sequentially, so we can reduce code duplication by
having the MI code keep track of the current offset. The new
dump_append() API can be used to write at the current offset.
This is needed to implement support for kernel dump compression in the

of duplicating its bounds checks, and get rid of the redundant offset

This asks for an underline cursor sized for the boot-time font instead

the x86 BIOS always gave the same values as the above hard-coding, but

The remaining BIOS fields are shift_state and bell_pitch. These are now
consistently not explicitly reinitialized to 0. All sc_get_bios_value()
functions except x86's are now empty, and the only useful thing that x86
returns is shift_state. This really belongs in atkbdc, but heavier
