- Layout reorganisation to enhance portability. The driver now has
a relatively MI 'core' and a FreeBSD-specific layer over the top.
Since the NetBSD people have already done their own port, this is
largely just to help me with the BSD/OS port.
- Request ID allocation changed to improve performance (I'd been
considering switching to this approach after having failed to come
up with a better way to dynamically allocate request IDs, and seeing
Andy Doran use it in the NetBSD port of the driver convinced me
that I was wasting my time doing it any other way). Now we just
allocate all the requests up front.
- Maximum request count bumped back to 255 after characterisation
of a firmware issue (off-by-one causing it to crash with 256
outstanding commands).
- Control interface implemented. This allows 3ware's '3dm' utility to
talk to the controller. 3dm will be available from 3ware shortly.
- Controller soft-reset feature added; if the controller signals a
firmware or protocol error, the controller will be reset and all
outstanding commands will be retried.

reducues the maintenance load for the mutex code. The only MD portions
of the mutex code are in machine/mutex.h now, which include the assembly
macros for handling mutexes as well as optionally overriding the mutex
micro-operations. For example, we use optimized micro-ops on the x86
platform #ifndef I386_CPU.
- Change the behavior of the SMP_DEBUG kernel option. In the new code,
mtx_assert() only depends on INVARIANTS, allowing other kernel developers
to have working mutex assertiions without having to include all of the
mutex debugging code. The SMP_DEBUG kernel option has been renamed to
MUTEX_DEBUG and now just controls extra mutex debugging code.
- Abolish the ugly mtx_f hack. Instead, we dynamically allocate
seperate mtx_debug structures on the fly in mtx_init, except for mutexes
that are initiated very early in the boot process. These mutexes
are declared using a special MUTEX_DECLARE() macro, and use a new
flag MTX_COLD when calling mtx_init. This is still somewhat hackish,
but it is less evil than the mtx_f filler struct, and the mtx struct is
now the same size with and without mutex debugging code.
- Add some micro-micro-operation macros for doing the actual atomic
operations on the mutex mtx_lock field to make it easier for other archs
to override/optimize mutex ops if needed. These new tiny ops also clean
up the code in some places by replacing long atomic operation function
calls that spanned 2-3 lines with a short 1-line macro call.
- Don't call mi_switch() from mtx_enter_hard() when we block while trying
to obtain a sleep mutex. Calling mi_switch() would bogusly release
Giant before switching to the next process. Instead, inline most of the
code from mi_switch() in the mtx_enter_hard() function. Note that when
we finally kill Giant we can back this out and go back to calling
mi_switch().
This commit adds support for Xircom X3201 based cardbus cards.
Support for the TDK 78Q2120 MII is also added.
IBM Etherjet, Intel and Xircom cards uses these chips.
Note that as a result of this commit, some Intel/DEC 21143 based cardbus
cards will also attach, but not get link. That is being looked at.
Files:
dev/cardbus/cardbus.c
dev/cardbus/cardbusreg.h
dev/cardbus/cardbusvar.h
dev/cardbus/cardbus_cis.c
dev/cardbus/cardbus_cis.h
dev/pccbb/pccbb.c
dev/pccbb/pccbbreg.h
dev/pccbb/pccbbvar.h
dev/pccbb/pccbb_if.m
This should support:
- cardbus controllers:
* TI 113X
* TI 12XX
* TI 14XX
* Ricoh 47X
* Ricoh 46X
* ToPIC 95
* ToPIC 97
* ToPIC 100
* Cirrus Logic CLPD683x
- cardbus cards
* 3c575BT
* 3c575CT
* Xircom X3201 (includes IBM, Xircom and, Intel cards)
[ 3com support already in kernel, Xircom will be committed real soon now]
This doesn't work with 16bit pccards under NEWCARD.
Enable in your config by having "device pccbb" and "device cardbus".
(A "device pccard" will attach a pccard bus, but it means you system have
a high chance of panicing when a 16bit card is inserted)
It should be fairly simple to make a driver attach to cardbus under
NEWCARD -- simply add an entry for attaching to cardbus on a new
DRIVER_MODULE and add new device IDs as necessary. You should also make
sure the card can be detached nicely without the interrupt routine doing
something weird, like going into an infinite loop. Usually that should
entail adding an additional check when a pci register or the bus space is
read to check if it equals 0xffffffff.
Any problems, please let me know.

now in dirs called sys/*/random/ instead of sys/*/randomdev/*.
Introduce blocking, but only at startup; the random device will
block until the first reseed happens to prevent clients from
using untrustworthy output.
Provide a read_random() call for the rest of the kernel so that
the entropy device does not need to be present. This means that
things like IPX no longer need to have "device random" hardcoded
into thir kernel config. The downside is that read_random() will
provide very poor output until the entropy device is loaded and
reseeded. It is recommended that developers do NOT use the
read_random() call; instead, they should use arc4random() which
internally uses read_random().
Clean up the mutex and locking code a bit; this makes it possible
to unload the module again.

How it works:
--
Basically ifs is a copy of ffs, overriding some vfs/vnops. (Yes, hack.)
I didn't see the need in duplicating all of sys/ufs/ffs to get this
off the ground.
File creation is done through a special file - 'newfile' . When newfile
is called, the system allocates and returns an inode. Note that newfile
is done in a cloning fashion:
fd = open("newfile", O_CREAT|O_RDWR, 0644);
fstat(fd, &st);
printf("new file is %d\n", (int)st.st_ino);
Once you have created a file, you can open() and unlink() it by its returned
inode number retrieved from the stat call, ie:
fd = open("5", O_RDWR);
The creation permissions depend entirely if you have write access to the
root directory of the filesystem.
To get the list of currently allocated inodes, VOP_READDIR has been added
which returns a directory listing of those currently allocated.
--
What this entails:
* patching conf/files and conf/options to include IFS as a new compile
option (and since ifs depends upon FFS, include the FFS routines)
* An entry in i386/conf/NOTES indicating IFS exists and where to go for
an explanation
* Unstaticize a couple of routines in src/sys/ufs/ffs/ which the IFS
routines require (ffs_mount() and ffs_reload())
* a new bunch of routines in src/sys/ufs/ifs/ which implement the IFS
routines. IFS replaces some of the vfsops, and a handful of vnops -
most notably are VFS_VGET(), VOP_LOOKUP(), VOP_UNLINK() and VOP_READDIR().
Any other directory operation is marked as invalid.
What this results in:
* an IFS partition's create permissions are controlled by the perm/ownership of
the root mount point, just like a normal directory
* Each inode has perm and ownership too
* IFS does *NOT* mean an FFS partition can be opened per inode. This is a
completely seperate filesystem here
* Softupdates doesn't work with IFS, and really I don't think it needs it.
Besides, fsck's are FAST. (Try it :-)
* Inodes 0 and 1 aren't allocatable because they are special (dump/swap IIRC).
Inode 2 isn't allocatable since UFS/FFS locks all inodes in the system against
this particular inode, and unravelling THAT code isn't trivial. Therefore,
useful inodes start at 3.
Enjoy, and feedback is definitely appreciated!
and initialized during boot. This avoids bloating sizeof(struct lock).
As a side effect, it is no longer necessary to enforce the assumtion that
lockinit()/lockdestroy() calls are paired, so the LK_VALID flag has been
removed.

While here, work around a strange quirk in config(8) that I do not yet
understand. Rearrange which atapi* files have 'optional' vs. 'count'
so that you can have atapifd without atapicd. The only difference should
be that this works instead of having a link error because atapi-all.o got
left out of the kernel.

Now that the new sound code supports MIDI, the major reason we had for
reviving it is gone. It is a far better investment polishing the new
midi code than trying to keep this on life support. Come 5.0-REL, if
there are major shortcomings in the pcm sound driver then maybe we can
rethink this, but until then we should focus on pcm.

- Removed unnecessary includes
- Minor style and commenting fixes
