controller. These controllers are also known as L1C(AR8131) and
L2C(AR8132) respectively. These controllers resembles the first
generation controller L1 but usage of different descriptor format
and new register mappings over L1 register space requires a new
driver. There are a couple of registers I still don't understand
but the driver seems to have no critical issues for performance and
stability. Currently alc(4) supports the following hardware
features.
o MSI
o TCP Segmentation offload
o Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping
o Tx/Rx interrupt moderation
o Hardware statistics counters(dev.alc.%d.stats)
o Jumbo frame
o WOL
AR8131/AR8132 also supports Tx checksum offloading but I disabled
it due to stability issues. I'm not sure this comes from broken
sample boards or hardware bugs. If you know your controller works
without problems you can still enable it. The controller has a
silicon bug for Rx checksum offloading, so the feature was not
implemented.
I'd like to say big thanks to Atheros. Atheros kindly sent sample
boards to me and answered several questions I had.

For a slightly thorough explaination, please refer to
[1] http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/SOUND_4.TXT.html .
Summary of changes includes:
1 Volume Per-Channel (vpc). Provides private / standalone volume control
unique per-stream pcm channel without touching master volume / pcm.
Applications can directly use SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]VOL, or for
backwards compatibility, SOUND_MIXER_PCM through the opened dsp device
instead of /dev/mixer. Special "bypass" mode is enabled through
/dev/mixer which will automatically detect if the adjustment is made
through /dev/mixer and forward its request to this private volume
controller. Changes to this volume object will not interfere with
other channels.
Requirements:
- SNDCTL_DSP_[GET|SET][PLAY|REC]_VOL are newer ioctls (OSSv4) which
require specific application modifications (preferred).
- No modifications required for using bypass mode, so applications
like mplayer or xmms should work out of the box.
Kernel hints:
- hint.pcm.%d.vpc (0 = disable vpc).
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.vpc_mixer_bypass (default: 1). Enable or disable /dev/mixer
bypass mode.
- hw.snd.vpc_autoreset (default: 1). By default, closing/opening
/dev/dsp will reset the volume back to 0 db gain/attenuation.
Setting this to 0 will preserve its settings across device
closing/opening.
- hw.snd.vpc_reset (default: 0). Panic/reset button to reset all
volume settings back to 0 db.
- hw.snd.vpc_0db (default: 45). 0 db relative to linear mixer value.
2 High quality fixed-point Bandlimited SINC sampling rate converter,
based on Julius O'Smith's Digital Audio Resampling -
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/. It includes a filter design
script written in awk (the clumsiest joke I've ever written)
- 100% 32bit fixed-point, 64bit accumulator.
- Possibly among the fastest (if not fastest) of its kind.
- Resampling quality is tunable, either runtime or during kernel
compilation (FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS).
- Quality can be further customized during kernel compilation by
defining FEEDER_RATE_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
Kernel sysctls:
- hw.snd.feeder_rate_quality.
0 - Zero-order Hold (ZOH). Fastest, bad quality.
1 - Linear Interpolation (LINEAR). Slightly slower than ZOH,
better quality but still does not eliminate aliasing.
2 - (and above) - Sinc Interpolation(SINC). Best quality. SINC
quality always start from 2 and above.
Rough quality comparisons:
- http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/z_comparison/
3 Bit-perfect mode. Bypasses all feeder/dsp effects. Pure sound will be
directly fed into the hardware.
4 Parametric (compile time) Software Equalizer (Bass/Treble mixer). Can
be customized by defining FEEDER_EQ_PRESETS in /etc/make.conf.
5 Transparent/Adaptive Virtual Channel. Now you don't have to disable
vchans in order to make digital format pass through. It also makes
vchans more dynamic by choosing a better format/rate among all the
concurrent streams, which means that dev.pcm.X.play.vchanformat/rate
becomes sort of optional.
6 Exclusive Stream, with special open() mode O_EXCL. This will "mute"
other concurrent vchan streams and only allow a single channel with
O_EXCL set to keep producing sound.
Other Changes:
* most feeder_* stuffs are compilable in userland. Let's not
speculate whether we should go all out for it (save that for
FreeBSD 16.0-RELEASE).
* kobj signature fixups, thanks to Andriy Gapon <avg@freebsd.org>
* pull out channel mixing logic out of vchan.c and create its own
feeder_mixer for world justice.
* various refactoring here and there, for good or bad.
* activation of few more OSSv4 ioctls() (see [1] above).
* opt_snd.h for possible compile time configuration:
(mostly for debugging purposes, don't try these at home)

These controllers use newer descriptor format and the new descriptor
format uses status LE to indicate the status of checksum. Rx
checksummed value used in previous controllers were very cryptic
and I failed to understand how to use them. In addition most
controllers in previous generations had Rx checksum offloading bug.
While I'm here introduce a MSK_FLAG_NORX_CSUM flag to bypass
checking Rx checksum offloading as Yukon FE+ A0 has status LE bug.
this feature hardware automatically computes TCP/UDP payload
offset. Introduce MSK_FLAG_AUTOTX_CSUM to mark the capability.
Yukon Extreme B0 revision is known to have a silicon for the
feature so disable it. Yukon Extreme B0 still can do Tx checksum
offloading but CPU have to compute TCP/UDP payload offset. To
enable traditional checksum offloading, disable automatic Tx
checksum calculation capability.
Yukon Extreme A0 revision could not use store-and-forward mode for
jumbo frames(silicon bug) so disable Tx checksum offloading for
jumbo frames.
I believe controllers that have MSK_FLAG_AUTOTX_CSUM capability or
new descriptor format do not have Tx checksum offload bug so
disable checksum offloading workaround for for short frames.

Yukon Extreme uses new descriptor format for TSO and has Tx frame
parser which greatly reduces CPU cycles spent in computing TCP/UDP
payload offset calculation in Tx checksum offloading path. The new
descriptor format also removed TCP/UDP payload computation for TSO
which in turn results in better TSO performance. It seems Yukon
Extreme has a lot of new (unknown) features but only basic
offloading is supported at this time. So far there are two known
issues.
o Sometimes Rx overrun errors happen when pulling data over
gigabit link. Running over 100Mbps seem to ok.
o Ethernet hardware address shows all-zeroed value on 88E8070.
Assigning ethernet address with ifconfig is necessary to make it
work.
Support for Yukon Extreme is not perfect but it would be better
than having a non-working device. Special thanks to jbh who fixed
several bugs of initial patch.

- Each socket upcall is now invoked with the appropriate socket buffer
locked. It is not permissible to call soisconnected() with this lock
held; however, so socket upcalls now return an integer value. The two
possible values are SU_OK and SU_ISCONNECTED. If an upcall returns
SU_ISCONNECTED, then the soisconnected() will be invoked on the
socket after the socket buffer lock is dropped.
- A new API is provided for setting and clearing socket upcalls. The
API consists of soupcall_set() and soupcall_clear().
- To simplify locking, each socket buffer now has a separate upcall.
- When a socket upcall returns SU_ISCONNECTED, the upcall is cleared from
the receive socket buffer automatically. Note that a SO_SND upcall
should never return SU_ISCONNECTED.
- All this means that accept filters should now return SU_ISCONNECTED
instead of calling soisconnected() directly. They also no longer need
to explicitly clear the upcall on the new socket.
- The HTTP accept filter still uses soupcall_set() to manage its internal
state machine, but other accept filters no longer have any explicit
knowlege of socket upcall internals aside from their return value.
- The various RPC client upcalls currently drop the socket buffer lock
while invoking soreceive() as a temporary band-aid. The plan for
the future is to add a new flag to allow soreceive() to be called with
the socket buffer locked.
- The AIO callback for socket I/O is now also invoked with the socket
buffer locked. Previously sowakeup() would drop the socket buffer
lock only to call aio_swake() which immediately re-acquired the socket
buffer lock for the duration of the function call.

CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept
polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available.
In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be
implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any
packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing
as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to
change, returning the number of packets processed.
While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is
broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag
IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is
meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).

"hostname" has been removed, as has the hostname_mtx mutex. Jails may
have their own host information, or they may inherit it from the
parent/system. The proper way to read the hostname is via
getcredhostname(), which will copy either the hostname associated with
the passed cred, or the system hostname if you pass NULL. The system
hostname can still be accessed directly (and without locking) at
prison0.pr_host, but that should be avoided where possible.
The "similar information" referred to is domainname, hostid, and
hostuuid, which have also become prison parameters and had their

I don't want people to override the mutex when allocating a TTY. It has
to be there, to keep drivers like syscons happy. So I'm creating a

The advantage of this approach, is that we can just remove a function,
without breaking the regular API in the future.

to dequeue a packet.
The tx path was trying to ensure that enough Xenbus TX ring slots existed but
it didn't check to see whether the mbuf TX ring slots were also available.
They get freed in xn_txeof() which occurs after transmission, rather than earlier
on in the process. (The same happens under Linux too.)
Due to whatever reason (CPU use, scheduling, memory constraints, whatever) the
mbuf TX ring may not have enough slots free and would allocate slot 0. This is
used as the freelist head pointer to represent "free" mbuf TX ring slots; setting
this to an actual mbuf value rather than an id crashes the code.
This commit introduces some basic code to track the TX mbuf ring use and then
(hopefully!) ensures that enough slots are free in said TX mbuf ring before it
enters the actual work loop.
A few notes:
* Similar logic needs to be introduced to check there are enough actual slots
available in the xenbuf TX ring. There's some logic which is invoked earlier
but it doesn't hard-check against the number of available ring slots.
Its trivial to do; I'll do it in a subsequent commit.
* As I've now commented in the source, it is likely possible to deadlock the
driver under certain conditions where the rings aren't receiving any changes
(which I should enumerate) and thus Xen doesn't send any further software
interrupts. I need to make sure that the timer(s) are running right and
the queues are periodically kicked.

Slot 0 must always remain "free" and be a pointer to the first free entry in the
mbuf descriptor list. It is thus an error to have code allocate or push slot 0
back into the list.
get a quick snapshot of the kernel's symbol table including the symbols
from any loaded modules (the symbols are all merged into one symbol

memory in the process memory space to store the snapshot at the time
/dev/ksyms is opened. It also checks to see if the process has already
a snapshot open and won't allow it to open /dev/ksyms it again until it
closes first. This prevents kernel and process memory from being
exhausted. Note that /dev/ksyms is used by the lockstat(1) command.

- 64bit DMA support was disabled because DP83821 is not capable
of handling the DMA request. 64bit DMA request on DP83820
requires different descriptor structures and it's hard to
dynamically change descriptor format at run time so I disabled
it. Note, this is the same behavior as previous one but
previously nge(4) didn't explicitly disable 64bit mode on
DP83820.
- Added Tx/Rx descriptor ring alignment requirements(8 bytes
alignment).
- Limit maximum number of Tx DMA segments to 16. In fact,
controller does not seem to have limitations on number of Tx
DMA segments but 16 should be enough for most cases and
m_collapse(9) will handle highly fragmented frames without

- Added Rx buffer alignment requirements(8 bytes alignment). This
means driver should fixup received frames to align on 16bits
boundary on strict-alignment architectures.
- Nuked driver private data structure in descriptor ring.
- Added endianness support code in Tx/Rx descriptor access.
o Prefer faster memory mapped register access to I/O mapped access.

The hardware supports both memory and I/O mapped access.
o Added suspend/resume methods but it wasn't tested as controller I

o Implemented experimental 802.3x full-duplex flow-control. ATM
it was commented out but will be activated after we have generic
flow-control framework in mii(4) layer.
o Rearranged promiscuous mode settings and simplified logic.
o Always disable Rx filter prior to changing Rx filter functions as
indicated in DP83820/DP83821 datasheet.
o Added an explicit DELAY in timeout loop of nge_reset().
o Added a sysctl variable dev.nge.%d.int_holdoff to control
interrupt moderation. Valid ranges are 1 to 255(default 1) in
units of 100us. The actual delivery of interrupt would be delayed
based on the sysctl value. The interface has to be brought down
and up again before a change takes effect. With proper tuning
value, users do not need to resort to polling(4) anymore.
o Added ALTQ(4) support.
o Added missing IFCAP_VLAN_HWCSUM as nge(4) can offload Tx/Rx
checksum calculation on VLAN tagged frames as well as VLAN tag
insertion/stripping. Also add IFCAP_VLAN_MTU capability as nge(4)
can handle VLAN tagged oversized frames.
o Fixed media header length for VLAN.
o Rearranged nge_detach routine such that it's now used for general
clean-up routine.
o Enabled MWI.
o Accessing EEPROM takes very long time so read 6 bytes ethernet
address with one call instead of 3 separate accesses.
o Don't set if_mtu in device attach, it's already set in
ether_ifattach().
o Don't do any special things for TBI interface. Remove TBI
specific media handling in the driver and have gentbi(4) handle
it. Add glue code to read/write TBI PHY registers in miibus
method. This change removes a lot of PHY handling code in driver
and now its functionality is handled by mii(4).
o Alignment fixup code is now applied only for strict-alignment
architectures. Previously the code was applied for all
architectures except i386. With this change amd64 will get
instant Rx performance boost.
o When driver fails to allocate a new mbuf, update if_qdrops so
users can see what was wrong in Rx path.
o Added a workaround for a hardware bug which resulted in short
VLAN tagged frames(e.g. ARP) was rejected as if runt frame was
received. With this workaround nge(4) now accepts the short VLAN
tagged frame and nge(4) can take full advantage of hardware VLAN
tag stripping. I have no idea how this bug wasn't known so far,
without the workaround nge(4) may never work on VLAN
environments.
o Fixed Rx checksum offload logic such that it now honors active
interface capability configured with ifconfig(8).
o In nge_start()/nge_txencap(), always leave at least one free
descriptor as indicated in datasheet. Without this the hardware
would be confused with ring descriptor structure(e.g. no clue
for the end of descriptor ring).
o Removed dead-code that checks interrupts on PHY hardware. The
code was designed to detect link state changes but it was
disabled as driving nge_tick clock would break auto-negotiation
timer. This code is no longer needed as nge(4) now uses mii(4)
and link state change handling is done with mii callback.
o Rearranged ethernet address programming logic such that it works
on strict-alignment architectures.
o Added IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING/IFCAP_VLAN_HWCSUM handler in
nge_ioctl() such that the functionality is configurable with
ifconfig(8). DP83820/DP83821 can do checksum offload for VLAN
tagged frames so enable Tx/Rx checksum offload for VLAN
interfaces.
o Simplified IFCAP_POLLING selection logic in nge_ioctl().
o Fixed module unload panic when bpf listeners are active.
o Tx/Rx descriptor ring address uses 64bit DMA address for
readability. High address part of DMA would be 0 as nge(4)
disabled 64bit DMA transfers so it's ok for DP83821.
o Removed volatile keyword in softc as bus_dmamap_sync(9) should
take care of this.
o Removed extra driver private structures in descriptor ring. These
extra elements are not part of descriptor structure. Embedding
private driver structure into descriptor ring is not good idea
as its size may be different on 32bit/64bit architectures.
o Added miibus_linkchg method handler to catch link state changes.
o Removed unneeded nge_ifmedia in softc. All TBI access is handled
in gentbi(4). There is no difference between TBI and non-TBI case
now.
o Removed "gigabit link up" message handling in nge_tick. Link
state change notification is already performed by mii(4) and
checking link state by accessing PHY registers in periodic timer
handler of driver is wrong. All link state and speed/duplex
monitoring should be handled in PHY driver.
o Use our own timer for watchdog instead of if_watchdog/if_timer
interface.
o Added hardware MAC statistics counter, users canget current MAC
statistics from dev.nge.%d.stats sysctl node(%d is unit number of

o Removed unused macros, NGE_LASTDESC, NGE_MODE, NGE_OWNDESC,
NGE_RXBYTES.
o Increased number of Tx/Rx descriptors from 128 to 256. From my
experience on gigabit ethernet controllers, number of descriptors
should be 256 or higher to get an optimal performance on gigabit
link.
o Increased jumbo frame length to 9022 bytes to cope with other
gigabit ethernet drivers. Experimentation shows no problems with
9022 bytes.
o Removed unused member variables in softc.
o Switched from bus_space_{read|write}_4 to bus_{read|write}_4.
o Added support for WOL.

possible future I-cache coherency operation can succeed. On ARM
for example the L1 cache can be (is) virtually mapped, which
means that any I/O that uses temporary mappings will not see the
I-cache made coherent. On ia64 a similar behaviour has been
observed. By flushing the D-cache, execution of binaries backed
by md(4) and/or NFS work reliably.
For Book-E (powerpc), execution over NFS exhibits SIGILL once in
a while as well, though cpu_flush_dcache() hasn't been implemented
yet.
Doing an explicit D-cache flush as part of the non-DMA based I/O
read operation eliminates the need to do it as part of the
I-cache coherency operation itself and as such avoids pessimizing
the DMA-based I/O read operations for which D-cache are already
flushed/invalidated. It also allows future optimizations whereby
the bcopy() followed by the D-cache flush can be integrated in a
single operation, which could be implemented using on-chips DMA
engines, by-passing the D-cache altogether.
register 0x52, not ctrl1. This appears to be a mistake in the bcm
reverse engineering page, and has been corrected there. Tracing
through the code, this is more in keeping with the "documented"
register. Sephe thinks it looks interesting and may be worth
fixing. :)
