VROC used Intel meta data so graid(8) works with it. However, graid(8)
supports RAID 0,1,10 for read and write. I have some early code to
support writes with RAID 5. Note that RAID 5 can have life issues

This provides a framework to define a template describing
a set of "variables of interest" and the intended way for
the framework to maintain them (for example the maximum, sum,
t-digest, or a combination thereof). Afterwards the user
code feeds in the raw data, and the framework maintains
these variables inside a user-provided, opaque stats blobs.
The framework also provides a way to selectively extract the
stats from the blobs. The stats(3) framework can be used in
both userspace and the kernel.
See the stats(3) manual page for details.
This will be used by the upcoming TCP statistics gathering code,
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20655.
The stats(3) framework is disabled by default for now, except
in the NOTES kernel (for QA); it is expected to be enabled
in amd64 GENERIC after a cool down period.

The goal of this driver is consolidate information about SuperIO chips
and to provide for peaceful coexistence of drivers that need to access
SuperIO configuration registers.
While SuperIO chips can host various functions most of them are
discoverable and accessible without any knowledge of the SuperIO.
Examples are: keyboard and mouse controllers, UARTs, floppy disk
controllers. SuperIO-s also provide non-standard functions such as
GPIO, watchdog timers and hardware monitoring. Such functions do
require drivers with a knowledge of a specific SuperIO.
At this time the driver supports a number of ITE and Nuvoton (fka
Winbond) SuperIO chips.
There is a single driver for all devices. So, I have not done the usual
split between the hardware driver and the bus functionality. Although,
superio does act as a bus for devices that represent known non-standard
functions of a SuperIO chip. The bus provides enumeration of child
devices based on the hardcoded knowledge of such functions. The
knowledge as extracted from datasheets and other drivers.
As there is a single driver, I have not defined a kobj interface for it.
So, its interface is currently made of simple functions.
I think that we can the flexibility (and complications) when we actually
need it.
I am planning to convert nctgpio and wbwd to superio bus very soon.
Also, I am working on itwd driver (watchdog in ITE SuperIO-s).
Additionally, there is ithwm driver based on the reverted sensors
import, but I am not sure how to integrate it given that we still lack
any sensors interface.

imcsmb(4) provides smbus(4) support for the SMBus controller functionality
in the integrated Memory Controllers (iMCs) embedded in Intel Sandybridge-
Xeon, Ivybridge-Xeon, Haswell-Xeon, and Broadwell-Xeon CPUs. Each CPU
implements one or more iMCs, depending on the number of cores; each iMC
implements two SMBus controllers (iMC-SMBs).
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Because motherboard firmware or the BMC might try to use the iMC-SMBs for
monitoring DIMM temperatures and/or managing an NVDIMM, the driver might
need to temporarily disable those functions, or take a hardware interlock,
before using the iMC-SMBs. Details on how to do this may vary from board to
board, and the procedure may be proprietary. It is strongly suggested that
anyone wishing to use this driver contact their motherboard vendor, and
modify the driver as described in the manual page and in the driver itself.
(For what it's worth, the driver as-is has been tested on various SuperMicro
motherboards.)

This driver supports both NTB-to-NTB and NTB-to-Root Port modes (though
the second with predictable complications on hot-plug and reboot events).
I tested it with PEX 8717 and PEX 8733 chips, but expect it should work
with many other compatible ones too. It supports up to two NT bridges
per chip, each of which can have up to 2 64-bit or 4 32-bit memory windows,
6 or 12 scratchpad registers and 16 doorbells. There are also 4 DMA engines
in those chips, but they are not yet supported.
While there, rename Intel NTB driver from generic ntb_hw(4) to more specific

Refresh upstream driver before impending conversion to iflib.
Major new features:
- Support for Fortville-based 25G adapters
- Support for I2C reads/writes
(To prevent getting or sending corrupt data, you should set
dev.ixl.0.debug.disable_fw_link_management=1 when using I2C
[this will disable link!], then set it to 0 when done. The driver implements
the SIOCGI2C ioctl, so ifconfig -v works for reading I2C data,
but there are read_i2c and write_i2c sysctls under the .debug sysctl tree
[the latter being useful for upper page support in QSFP+]).
- Addition of an iWARP client interface (so the future iWARP driver for
X722 devices can communicate with the base driver).
- Compiling this option in is enabled by default, with "options IXL_IW" in

Runtime services require special execution environment for the call.
Besides that, OS must inform firmware about runtime virtual memory map
which will be active during the calls, with the SetVirtualAddressMap()
runtime call, done while the 1:1 mapping is still used. There are two
complication: the SetVirtualAddressMap() effectively must be done from
loader, which needs to know kernel address map in advance. More,
despite not explicitely mentioned in the specification, both 1:1 and
the map passed to SetVirtualAddressMap() must be active during the
SetVirtualAddressMap() call. Second, there are buggy BIOSes which
require both mappings active during runtime calls as well, most likely
because they fail to identify all relocations to perform.
On amd64, we can get rid of both problems by providing 1:1 mapping for
the duration of runtime calls, by temprorary remapping user addresses.
As result, we avoid the need for loader to know about future kernel
address map, and avoid bugs in BIOSes. Typically BIOS only maps
something in low 4G. If not runtime bugs, we would take advantage of
the DMAP, as previous versions of this patch did.
Similar but more complicated trick can be used even for i386 and 32bit
runtime, if and when the EFI boot on i386 is supported. We would need
a trampoline page, since potentially whole 4G of VA would be switched
on calls, instead of only userspace portion on amd64.
Context switches are disabled for the duration of the call, FPU access
is granted, and interrupts are not disabled. The later is possible
because kernel is mapped during calls.
To test, the sysctl mib debug.efi_time is provided, setting it to 1
makes one call to EFI get_time() runtime service, on success the efitm
structure is printed to the control terminal. Load efirt.ko, or add
EFIRT option to the kernel config, to enable code.

A nice thing about requiring a vDSO is that it makes it incredibly easy
to provide full support for running 32-bit processes on 64-bit systems.
Instead of letting the kernel be responsible for composing/decomposing
64-bit arguments across multiple registers/stack slots, all of this can
now be done in the vDSO. This means that there is no need to provide
duplicate copies of certain system calls, like the sys_lseek() and
freebsd32_lseek() we have for COMPAT_FREEBSD32.
This change imports a new vDSO from the CloudABI repository that has
automatically generated code in it that copies system call arguments
into a buffer, padding them to eight bytes and zero-extending any
pointers/size_t arguments. After returning from the kernel, it does the
inverse: extracting return values, in the process truncating
pointers/size_t values to 32 bits.
