- Remove most of direct relations between ATA(4) peripherial and controller
levels. It makes logic more transparent and is a mandatory step to wrap
ATA(4) controller level into ATA-native CAM SIM.
- Tune AHCI and SATA2 SiI drivers memory allocation a bit to allow bigger
I/O transaction sizes without additional cost.
Feature is controlled by hint.ata.X.pm_level tunable:
0 - PM disabled, old behaviour, default.
1 - device is allowed to initiate PM state change, host is passive.
2 - host initiates PARTIAL state transition every time port is idle.
3 - host initiates SLUMBER state transition every time port is idle.
PARTIAL state has up to 100us (50us for me) wakeup latency, but for my
ICH8M saves 0.5W of power per drive. SLUMBER state has up to 10ms (3.5ms
for me) wakeup latency, but saves 0.8W of power.
Modes 2 and 3 are implemented only for AHCI driver now.
Interface power management is incompatible with device presence detection
(host receives no signal from drive, so unable to monitor it), so later is
disabled when PM is used.
Add ch_suspend/ch_resume methods for PCI controllers and implement them
for AHCI. Refactor AHCI channel initialization according to it.
Fix Port Multipliers operation. It is far from perfect yet, but works now.
Tested with JMicron JMB363 AHCI + SiI 3726 PMP pair.
Previous version was also tested with SiI 4726 PMP.

ata_detach() to implement IOCATAATTACH/IOCATADETACH ioctls.
This will permit channel drivers to properly shutdown port hardware on channel
detach and init it on attach.
join allocate() and dmainit() atapci subdriver's channel initialization
methods into single ch_attach() method.
As opposite to ch_attach() add new ch_detach() method to deallocate/disable
channel.
to not allocate them after the recent ata channels enumeration changes.
It allows to save some resources, not bother user with unexisting hardware
and not check unimplemented ports status on every interrupt.
Works fine with AHCI and theoretically other MSI capable devices.
At this moment support disabled by default. To enable it, set
"hint.atapci.X.msi=1" device hint.
Move channel softc initialization from ata_XXX_probe() to ata_XXX_attach().
Instead of calculating ata channel number as position in child device list,
pass it's real number directly from controller probe routine using ivars.
It is simpler and IMHO more correct.
configuration registers (which are not going to change) on every interrupt
looks expensive, especially when interrupt is shared. Profiling shows me 3%
of time spent by atapci0 on pure network load due to IRQ sharing with em0.
If you just config KERNEL as usual there should be no apparent changes, you'll get all chipset support code compiled in.
However there is now a way to only compile in code for chipsets needed on a pr vendor basis. ATA now has the following "device" entries:
atacore: ATA core functionality, always needed for any ATA setup
atacard: CARDBUS support
atacbus: PC98 cbus support
ataisa: ISA bus support
atapci: PCI bus support only generic chipset support.
ataahci: AHCI support, also pulled in by some vendor modules.
ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek, atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron, atamarvell, atamicron, atanational, atanetcell, atanvidia, atapromise, ataserverworks, atasiliconimage, atasis, atavia; Vendor support, ie atavia for VIA chipsets
atadisk: ATA disk driver
ataraid: ATA softraid driver
atapicd: ATAPI cd/dvd driver
atapifd: ATAPI floppy/flashdisk driver
atapist: ATAPI tape driver
atausb: ATA<>USB bridge
atapicam: ATA<>CAM bridge
This makes it possible to config a kernel with just VIA chipset support by having the following ATA lines in the kernel config file:
device atacore
device atapci
device atavia
And then you need the atadisk, atapicd etc lines in there just as usual.
If you use ATA as modules loaded at boot there is few changes except the rename of the "ata" module to "atacore", things looks just as usual.
However under atapci you now have a whole bunch of vendor specific drivers, that you can kldload individually depending on you needs. Drivers have the same names as used in the kernel config explained above.
This avoids calling busdma in the request processing path which caused a traumatic performance degradation.
Allocation has be postponed to after we know how many devices we possible can have on portmulitpliers to save some space.
Support is working on the Silicon Image SiI3124/3132.
Support is working on some AHCI chips but far from all.
Remember this is WIP, so test reports and (constructive) suggestions are welcome!
side effect that legacy ATA controllers at irq14 and irq15 cannot share
interrupts with anything else without major problems.
This fixes the ATAPI DMA problems some systems/devices have seen.
- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.
