1.3 of Intelб╝ Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture
Specification. The Extended Context and PASIDs from the rev. 2.2 are
not supported, but I am not aware of any released hardware which
implements them. Code does not use queued invalidation, see comments
for the reason, and does not provide interrupt remapping services.
Code implements the management of the guest address space per domain
and allows to establish and tear down arbitrary mappings, but not
partial unmapping. The superpages are created as needed, but not
promoted. Faults are recorded, fault records could be obtained
programmatically, and printed on the console.
Implement the busdma(9) using DMARs. This busdma backend avoids
bouncing and provides security against misbehaving hardware and driver
bad programming, preventing leaks and corruption of the memory by wild
DMA accesses.
By default, the implementation is compiled into amd64 GENERIC kernel
but disabled; to enable, set hw.dmar.enable=1 loader tunable. Code is
written to work on i386, but testing there was low priority, and
driver is not enabled in GENERIC. Even with the DMAR turned on,
individual devices could be directed to use the bounce busdma with the
hw.busdma.pci<domain>:<bus>:<device>:<function>.bounce=1 tunable. If
DMARs are capable of the pass-through translations, it is used,
otherwise, an identity-mapping page table is constructed.
The driver was tested on Xeon 5400/5500 chipset legacy machine,
Haswell desktop and E5 SandyBridge dual-socket boxes, with ahci(4),
ata(4), bce(4), ehci(4), mfi(4), uhci(4), xhci(4) devices. It also
works with em(4) and igb(4), but there some fixes are needed for
drivers, which are not committed yet. Intel GPUs do not work with
DMAR (yet).
Many thanks to John Baldwin, who explained me the newbus integration;

- ofw_bus_map_intr()
Maps an (iparent, IRQ) tuple to a system-global interrupt number in some
platform dependent way. This is meant to be implemented as a replacement
for [FDT_]MAP_IRQ() that is an MI interface that knows about the bus
hierarchy.
- ofw_bus_config_intr()
Configures an interrupt (previously mapped) based on firmware sense flags.
This replaces manual interpretation of the sense field in bus drivers and
will, in a follow-up, allow that interpretation to be redirected to the PIC
drivers where it belongs. This will eventually replace the tables in
/sys/dev/fdt/fdt_ARCH.c
The PowerPC/AIM code has been converted to use these globally, with an
implementation in terms of MAP_IRQ() and powerpc_config_intr(), assuming
OpenPIC, at the bus root in nexus(4). The ofw_bus_config_intr() will shortly
be integrated into pic_if.m and bounced through nexus into the PIC tree.
FDT integration will happen significantly later due to larger testing

Implement a driver for Robert Norton's PIC as an FDT interrupt

device will have their interrupt allocation, activation , and setup
operations routed through the IC rather than down the traditional bus

This driver largely abstracts the underlying CPU away allowing the
PIC to be implemented on CPU's other than BERI. Due to insufficient

- Unify the identical macio/fdt/mambo OpenPIC drivers into one
- Be more forgiving (following ePAPR) about what we need from the device
tree to identify an OpenPIC
- Correctly map all IRQs into an interrupt domain
- Set IRQ_*_CONFORM for interrupts on an unknown PIC type instead of

When safety requirements are met, it allows to avoid passing I/O requests
to GEOM g_up/g_down thread, executing them directly in the caller context.
That allows to avoid CPU bottlenecks in g_up/g_down threads, plus avoid
several context switches per I/O.
The defined now safety requirements are:
- caller should not hold any locks and should be reenterable;
- callee should not depend on GEOM dual-threaded concurency semantics;
- on the way down, if request is unmapped while callee doesn't support it,
the context should be sleepable;
- kernel thread stack usage should be below 50%.
To keep compatibility with GEOM classes not meeting above requirements
new provider and consumer flags added:
- G_CF_DIRECT_SEND -- consumer code meets caller requirements (request);
- G_CF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- consumer code meets callee requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- provider code meets caller requirements (done);
- G_PF_DIRECT_RECEIVE -- provider code meets callee requirements (request).
Capable GEOM class can set them, allowing direct dispatch in cases where
it is safe. If any of requirements are not met, request is queued to
g_up or g_down thread same as before.
Such GEOM classes were reviewed and updated to support direct dispatch:
CONCAT, DEV, DISK, GATE, MD, MIRROR, MULTIPATH, NOP, PART, RAID, STRIPE,
VFS, ZERO, ZFS::VDEV, ZFS::ZVOL, all classes based on g_slice KPI (LABEL,
MAP, FLASHMAP, etc).
To declare direct completion capability disk(9) KPI got new flag equivalent
to G_PF_DIRECT_SEND -- DISKFLAG_DIRECT_COMPLETION. da(4) and ada(4) disk
drivers got it set now thanks to earlier CAM locking work.
This change more then twice increases peak block storage performance on
systems with manu CPUs, together with earlier CAM locking changes reaching
more then 1 million IOPS (512 byte raw reads from 16 SATA SSDs on 4 HBAs to
256 user-level threads).

reduce lock congestion and improve SMP scalability of the SCSI/ATA stack,
preparing the ground for the coming next GEOM direct dispatch support.
Replace big per-SIM locks with bunch of smaller ones:
- per-LUN locks to protect device and peripheral drivers state;
- per-target locks to protect list of LUNs on target;
- per-bus locks to protect reference counting;
- per-send queue locks to protect queue of CCBs to be sent;
- per-done queue locks to protect queue of completed CCBs;
- remaining per-SIM locks now protect only HBA driver internals.
While holding LUN lock it is allowed (while not recommended for performance
reasons) to take SIM lock. The opposite acquisition order is forbidden.
All the other locks are leaf locks, that can be taken anywhere, but should
not be cascaded. Many functions, such as: xpt_action(), xpt_done(),
xpt_async(), xpt_create_path(), etc. are no longer require (but allow) SIM
lock to be held.
To keep compatibility and solve cases where SIM lock can't be dropped, all
xpt_async() calls in addition to xpt_done() calls are queued to completion
threads for async processing in clean environment without SIM lock held.
Instead of single CAM SWI thread, used for commands completion processing
before, use multiple (depending on number of CPUs) threads. Load balanced
between them using "hash" of the device B:T:L address.
HBA drivers that can drop SIM lock during completion processing and have
sufficient number of completion threads to efficiently scale to multiple
CPUs can use new function xpt_done_direct() to avoid extra context switch.

Yarrow wants entropy estimations to be conservative; the usual idea
is that if you are certain you have N bits of entropy, you declare
N/2.

Remove short-lived idea; thread to harvest (eg) RDRAND enropy into the
usual harvest queues. It was a nifty idea, but too heavyweight.

Snapshot; Do some running repairs on entropy harvesting. More needs
to follow.

Snapshot of current work;
1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific
or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.
2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.
3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.
There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
* It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
it should belong in a manual page
2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
* rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()
3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"
Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.
4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.
The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)
5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block
6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow
