the most annoying one probably being USB keyboards no longer working at
the OFW boot prompt after halting FreeBSD these drivers work fine on
sparc64 including X and there's nothing left that I'd consider a show-
stopper. I.e. graphical consoles on sun4u machines should either work
out of the box or by plugging in a card that is supported by either
creator(4) or machfb(4). The exception obviously are SBus-only machines
without UPA slots like some Ultra 1 (but which also still lack support
in other areas) and certain Exx0 (but which probably are mainly used
with serial consoles anyway). I'll try to add a cgsix(4) for these later
as Sun CG6 cards are probably the most common SBus framebuffer cards in
sun4u machines. I however don't see much sense in adding drivers for the
dozen of SBus framebuffers that were destined for sparc v8 machines.
The rest of the USB drivers aren't enabled as I'm only aware of ukbd(4)
and ums(4) as well as ohci(4) working with the on-board ALI M5237 and
Sun PCIO-2 controllers. Aue(4) definitely doesn't work on sparc64, yet.
Thanks to:
- Jake for the initial work on syscons(4) on sparc64 and creator(4).
- Marcel for uart(4) and especially for its support for the SCCs which
are only used on sparc64 so far. In various regards it wouldn't have
been possible to enable syscons(4) by default on sparc64, yet, without
uart(4).

respectively). This driver currently only prints out information about
the chassis on attach and allows to blink the 'Cycling' LED (which is

for the other boards. The device name for the LED is /dev/led/clockboard.

o Disable ofw_console(4), sab(4) and zs(4).
sab(4) and zs(4) are disabled because the hardware controlled by
them is handled by uart(4)+puc(4) and the latter combination is
functionally complete and up to date.
ofw_console(4) is disabled because it doesn't claim the device it
controls (through OFW) and thus interferes with puc(4)+uart(4),
which has sufficient knowledge to extract the necessary information
from OFW to setup the console. Put differently, ofw_console(4) is
not a proper device driver and can only do harm. Its functionality
is completely handled by uart(4).
This commit makes uart(4) the default driver for serial ports.

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).
that caused a 3-4 times slow down in performance.
(the primary Sparc64 developers are all using OFW_NEWPCI already, so it is
the best code path for users)
