Add CRC/MOVECRC operations, as well as the TEST and STORE variants.
With these operations, a CRC32C can be computed over one or more
descriptors' source data. When the STORE operation is encountered, the
accumulated CRC32C is emitted to memory. A TEST operations triggers an
IOAT channel error if the accumulated CRC32C does not match one in
memory.
These operations are not exposed through any API yet.

The IOAT engine can only address the low 40 bits (1 TB) of physmem via
the 'next descriptor' pointer. Restrict acceptable range given to
bus_dma_tag_create to match.

The I/OAT HW reset process may sleep, so it is invalid to perform a
channel reset from the software interrupt thread.

Some classes of IOAT hardware prefetch reads. DMA operations that
depend on the result of prior DMA operations must use the DMA_FENCE flag
to prevent stale reads.
(E.g., I've hit this personally on Broadwell-EP. The Broadwell-DE has a
different IOAT unit that is documented to not pipeline DMA operations.)

ioat_acquire_reserve() is an extended version of ioat_acquire(). It
allows users to reserve space in the channel for some number of
descriptors. If this succeeds, it guarantees that at least submission
of N valid descriptors will succeed.

Different revisions support different operations. Refer to Intel

The new flag, -c <period>, sets the interrupt coalescing period in
microseconds through the new ioat(4) API ioat_set_interrupt_coalesce().
Also add a -z flag to zero ioat statistics before tests, to make it easy
to measure results.

In I/OAT, this is done through the INTRDELAY register. On supported
platforms, this register can coalesce interrupts in a set period to
avoid excessive interrupt load for small descriptor workflows. The
period is configurable anywhere from 1 microsecond to 16.38
milliseconds, in microsecond granularity.

The hardware supports descriptors with two non-contiguous pages. This
allows issuing one descriptor for an 8k copy from/to non-contiguous but
otherwise page-aligned memory.

Certain invalid operations trigger hardware error conditions. Error
conditions that only halt one channel can be detected and recovered by
resetting the channel. Error conditions that halt the whole device are
generally not recoverable.
Add a sysctl to inject channel-fatal HW errors,
'dev.ioat.<N>.force_hw_error=1'.
When a halt due to a channel error is detected, ioat(4) blocks new
operations from being queued on the channel, completes any outstanding
operations with an error status, and resets the channel before allowing
new operations to be queued again.
Update ioat.4 to document error recovery; document blockfill introduced
in r290021 while we are here; document ioat_put_dmaengine() added in
r289907; document DMA_NO_WAIT added in r289982.

Allows DMA from/to arbitrary KVA or physical address. /dev/ioat_test
must be enabled by root and is only R/W root, so this is approximately
as dangerous as /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

The IOAT hardware supports writing a 64-bit pattern to some destination
buffer. The same limitations on buffer length apply as for copy
operations. Throughput is a bit higher (probably because fill does not
have to spend bandwidth reading from a source in memory).
Support for testing Block Fill has been added to ioatcontrol(8) and the
ioat_test device. ioatcontrol(8) accepts the '-f' flag, which tests
Block Fill. (If the flag is omitted, the tool tests copy by default.)
The '-V' flag, in conjunction with '-f', verifies that buffers are
filled in the expected pattern.

Add generic hw descriptor struct and generic control flags struct, in

Add a new flag for DMA operations, DMA_NO_WAIT. It behaves much like
other NOWAIT flags -- if queueing an operation would sleep, abort and
return NULL instead.
When growing the internal descriptor ring, the memory allocation is
performed outside of all locks. A lock-protected flag is used to avoid
duplicated work. Threads that cannot sleep and attempt to queue
operations when the descriptor ring is full allocate a larger ring with
M_NOWAIT, or bail if that fails.
ioat_reserve_space() could become an external API if is important to
callers that they have room for a sequence of operations, or that those
operations succeed each other directly in the hardware ring.
This patch splits the internal head index (->head) from the hardware's
head-of-chain (DMACOUNT) register (->hw_head). In the future, for
simplicity's sake, we could drop the 'ring' array entirely and just use
a linked list (with head and tail pointers rather than indices).

We need to reset the chancmp and chainaddr MMIO registers to bring the

We only need to borrow a mutex for the drain sleep and the 0->1
transition, so just reuse an existing one for now.
The wchan is arbitrary. Using refcount itself would have required
__DEVOLATILE(), so use the lock's address instead.
Different uses are tagged by kind, although we only do anything with
that information in INVARIANTS builds.

Callers should have acquired this lock when they invoked ioat_acquire()

This is still the worst possible way to allocate memory if it will ever

Pull out the timer callout delay into IOAT_INTR_TIMO and shorten it
considerably (5s -> 100ms). Single operations do not take 5-10 seconds
and when interrupts aren't working, waiting 100ms sucks a lot less than
5s.

Don't run the selftest until after we've enabled bus mastering, or the

The test logic now preallocates memory before running the test.
The buffer size is now configurable. Post-copy verification is
configurable. The number of copies to chain into one transaction (one
interrupt) is configurable.
A 'duration' mode is added, which repeats the test until the duration
has elapsed, reporting the B/s and transactions completed.
ioatcontrol.8 has been updated to document the new arguments.
Initial limits (on this particular Broadwell-DE) (and when the
interrupts are working) seem to be: 256 interrupts/sec or ~6 GB/s,
whichever limit is more restrictive.
Unfortunately, it seems the interrupt-reset handling on Broadwell isn't
working as intended. That will be fixed in a later commit.
