9732e4fd92 Move the old iSCSI initiator source to a more appropriate place
(sys/dev/iscsi_initiator/ instead of sys/dev/iscsi/initiator/), to make
room for the new one.  This is also more logical location (kernel module
being named iscsi_initiator.ko, for example).  There is no ongoing work
on this I know of, so it shouldn't make life harder for anyone.

There are no functional changes, apart from "svn mv" and adjusting paths.

d7511a40a7 Add read-only support for extents in ext2fs.
Basic support for extents was implemented by Zheng Liu as part
of his Google Summer of Code in 2010. This support is read-only
at this time.

In addition to extents we also support the huge_file extension
for read-only purposes. This works nicely with the additional
support for birthtime/nanosec timestamps and dir_index that
have been added lately.

The implementation may not work for all ext4 filesystems as
it doesn't support some features that are being enabled by
default on recent linux like flex_bg. Nevertheless, the feature
should be very useful for migration or simple access in
filesystems that have been converted from ext2/3 or don't use
incompatible features.

Special thanks to Zheng Liu for his dedication and continued
work to support ext2 in FreeBSD.

5711939b63 * Add random_adaptors.[ch] which is basically a store of random_adaptor's.
random_adaptor is basically an adapter that plugs in to random(4).
  random_adaptor can only be plugged in to random(4) very early in bootup.
  Unplugging random_adaptor from random(4) is not supported, and is probably a
  bad idea anyway, due to potential loss of entropy pools.
  We currently have 3 random_adaptors:
  + yarrow
  + rdrand (ivy.c)
  + nehemeiah

* Remove platform dependent logic from probe.c, and move it into
  corresponding registration routines of each random_adaptor provider.
  probe.c doesn't do anything other than picking a specific random_adaptor
  from a list of registered ones.

* If the kernel doesn't have any random_adaptor adapters present then the
  creation of /dev/random is postponed until next random_adaptor is kldload'ed.

* Fix randomdev_soft.c to refer to its own random_adaptor, instead of a
  system wide one.

a61914445d When newvers.sh is run, it is possible that the svnversion
(or svnliteversion) in the current lookup path is not what
was used to check out the tree.  If an incompatible version
is used, the svn revision number is not reported in uname(1).

Run ${svnversion} on newvers.sh itself when evaluating if the
svn(1) in use is compatible with the tree.  Fallback to an
empty ${svnversion} if necessary.

With this change, svnliteversion from base is only used
if no compatible svnversion is found, so with this change,
the version of svn(1) from the ports tree is evaluated first.

c319ea15f4 opensolaris code: translate INVARIANTS to DEBUG and ZFS_DEBUG
Do this by forcing inclusion of
sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/debug_compat.h
via -include option into all source files from OpenSolaris.
Note that this -include option must always be after -include opt_global.h.

Additionally, remove forced definition of DEBUG for some modules and fix
their build without DEBUG.

Also, meaning of DEBUG was overloaded to enable WITNESS support for some
OpenSolaris (primarily ZFS) locks.  Now this overloading is removed and
that use of DEBUG is replaced with a new option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS.

caf20efcde Add support for packet-sniffing tracers to cxgbe(4). This works with
all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.

Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire.  On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc.  It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel).  On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.

There are 4 tracers on a chip.  A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx).  For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port.  This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do.  A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip.  Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.

/* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 tx0  (watch what cxl0 is transmitting)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 rx0  (watch what cxl0 is receiving)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# tcpdump -i t5nex0   <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire

If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K
"frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that
were actually transmitted.

/* all done */
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 disable
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 disable
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# ifconfig t5nex0 destroy

46e95f646c 2 years, 10 months, 22 days after the projects/arm_eabi branch was created
make the ARM EABI the default ABI on arm, armeb, armv6 and armv6eb.

This is intended to be the default ABI from now on with the old ABI to be
retired. Because of this all users are strongly suggested to upgrade to the
ARM EABI.

As the two ABIs are incompatible it is unlikely upgrading in place will
work. Users should perform a full backup and either use an external machine
to upgrade, or install to an alternative location on their media. They
should also reinstall all ports or packages when these are available.

The only known issues are:
 - pkg incorrectly detects the ABI. This is fixed upstream, and will a
   patch will be made to the port.
 - GDB can have issues with executables built with clang.

__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.

81d392a09d Improve SYN cookies by encoding the MSS, WSCALE (window scaling) and SACK
information into the ISN (initial sequence number) without the additional
use of timestamp bits and switching to the very fast and cryptographically
strong SipHash-2-4 MAC hash algorithm to protect the SYN cookie against
forgeries.

The purpose of SYN cookies is to encode all necessary session state in
the 32 bits of our initial sequence number to avoid storing any information
locally in memory.  This is especially important when under heavy spoofed
SYN attacks where we would either run out of memory or the syncache would
fill with bogus connection attempts swamping out legitimate connections.

The original SYN cookies method only stored an indexed MSS values in the
cookie.  This isn't sufficient anymore and breaks down in the presence of
WSCALE information which is only exchanged during SYN and SYN-ACK.  If we
can't keep track of it then we may severely underestimate the available
send or receive window. This is compounded with large windows whose size
information on the TCP segment header is even lower numerically.  A number
of years back SYN cookies were extended to store the additional state in
the TCP timestamp fields, if available on a connection.  While timestamps
are common among the BSD, Linux and other *nix systems Windows never enabled
them by default and thus are not present for the vast majority of clients
seen on the Internet.

The common parameters used on TCP sessions have changed quite a bit since
SYN cookies very invented some 17 years ago.  Today we have a lot more
bandwidth available making the use window scaling almost mandatory.  Also
SACK has become standard making recovering from packet loss much more
efficient.

This change moves all necessary information into the ISS removing the need
for timestamps.  Both the MSS (16 bits) and send WSCALE (4 bits) are stored
in 3 bit indexed form together with a single bit for SACK.  While this is
significantly less than the original range, it is sufficient to encode all
common values with minimal rounding.

The MSS depends on the MTU of the path and with the dominance of ethernet
the main value seen is around 1460 bytes.  Encapsulations for DSL lines
and some other overheads reduce it by a few more bytes for many connections
seen.  Rounding down to the next lower value in some cases isn't a problem
as we send only slightly more packets for the same amount of data.

The send WSCALE index is bit more tricky as rounding down under-estimates
the available send space available towards the remote host, however a small
number values dominate and are carefully selected again.

The receive WSCALE isn't encoded at all but recalculated based on the local
receive socket buffer size when a valid SYN cookie returns.  A listen socket
buffer size is unlikely to change while active.

The index values for MSS and WSCALE are selected for minimal rounding errors
based on large traffic surveys.  These values have to be periodically
validated against newer traffic surveys adjusting the arrays tcp_sc_msstab[]
and tcp_sc_wstab[] if necessary.

In addition the hash MAC to protect the SYN cookies is changed from MD5
to SipHash-2-4, a much faster and cryptographically secure algorithm.

The fix above also corrects the bandwidth display to GT/s rather than the

Next, allow the use of ALTQ if you select the compile option IXGBE_LEGACY_TX.

Allow the use of 'unsupported' optic modules by a compile option as well.

Add a phy reset capability into the stop code, this is so a static configured
driver will still behave properly when taken down (not being able to unload it).

This revision synchronizes the shared code with Intel internal current code,
and note that it now includes DCB supporting code, this was necessitated by
some internal changes with the code, but it also will provide the opportunity
to develop this feature in the core driver down the road.

I have edited the README to get rid of some of the worse anachronisms in it
as well, its by no means as robust as I might wish at this point however.

Oh, I also have included some conditional stuff in the code so it will be
compatible in both the 9.X and 10 environments.

Basically the situation is as follows:

- When using Clang + armv6, we should not need any intrinsics. It should
  support it, even though due to a target misconfiguration it does not.
  We should fix this in Clang.
- When using Clang + noarmv6, provide __atomic_* functions that disable
  interrupts.
- When using GCC + armv6, we can provide __sync_* intrinsics, similar to
  what we did for MIPS. As ARM and MIPS are quite similar, simply base
  this implementation on the one I did for MIPS.
- When using GCC + noarmv6, disable the interrupts, like we do for
  Clang.

The AR9485 chip and AR933x SoC both implement LNA diversity.
There are a few extra things that need to happen before this can be
flipped on for those chips (mostly to do with setting up the different
bias values and LNA1/LNA2 RSSI differences) but the first stage is
putting this code into the driver layer so it can be reused.

This has the added benefit of making it easier to expose configuration
options and diagnostic information via the ioctl API.  That's not yet
being done but it sure would be nice to do so.

2e5d5dc936 Add proper __sync_*() intrinsics for MIPS.
To make <stdatomic.h> work on MIPS (and ARM) using GCC, we need to
provide implementations of the __sync_*() functions. I already added
these functions for 4 and 8 byte types to libcompiler-rt some time ago,
based on top of <machine/atomic.h>.

Unfortunately, <machine/atomic.h> only provides a subset of the features
needed to implement <stdatomic.h>. This means that in some cases we had
to do compare-and-exchange calls in loops, where a simple ll/sc would
suffice.

Also implement these functions for 1 and 2 byte types. MIPS only
provides ll/sc instructions for 4 and 8 byte types, but this is of
course no limitation. We can simply load 4 bytes and use some bitmask
tricks to modify only the bytes affected.

for the WB195 combo NIC - an AR9285 w/ an AR3011 USB bluetooth NIC.

The AR3011 is wired up using a 3-wire coexistence scheme to the AR9285.

The code in if_ath_btcoex.c sets up the initial hardware mapping
and coexistence configuration.  There's nothing special about it -
it's static; it doesn't try to configure bluetooth / MAC traffic priorities
or try to figure out what's actually going on.  It's enough to stop basic
bluetooth traffic from causing traffic stalls and diassociation from
the wireless network.

To use this code, you must have the above NIC.  No, it won't work
for the AR9287+AR3012, nor the AR9485, AR9462 or AR955x combo cards.

Then you set a kernel hint before boot or before kldload, where 'X'
is the unit number of your AR9285 NIC:

# kenv hint.ath.X.btcoex_profile=wb195

This will then appear in your boot messages:

[100482] athX: Enabling WB195 BTCOEX

This code is going to evolve pretty quickly (well, depending upon my
spare time) so don't assume the btcoex API is going to stay stable.

In order to use the bluetooth side, you must also load in firmware using
ath3kfw and the binary firmware file (ath3k-1.fw in my case.)

Tested:

* AR9280, no interference
* WB195 - AR9285 + AR3011 combo; STA mode; basic bluetooth inquiries
  were enough to cause traffic stalls and disassociations.  This has
  stopped with the btcoex profile code.

TODO:

* Importantly - the AR9285 needs ASPM disabled if bluetooth coexistence
  is enabled.  No, I don't know why.  It's likely some kind of bug to do
  with the AR3011 sending bluetooth coexistence signals whilst the device
  is asleep.  Since we don't actually sleep the MAC just yet, it shouldn't
  be a problem.  That said, to be totally correct:

  + ASPM should be disabled - upon attach and wakeup
  + The PCIe powersave HAL code should never be called

  Look at what the ath9k driver does for inspiration.

* Add WB197 (AR9287+AR3012) support
* Add support for the AR9485, which is another combo like the AR9285
* The later NICs have a different signaling mechanism between the MAC
  and the bluetooth device; I haven't even begun to experiment with
  making that HAL code work.  But it should be a lot more automatic.

* The hardware can do much more interesting traffic weighting with
  bluetooth and wifi traffic.  None of this is currently used.
  Ideally someone would code up something to watch the bluetooth traffic
  GPIO (via an interrupt) and then watch it go high/low; then figure out
  what the bluetooth traffic is and adjust things appropriately.

* If I get the time I may add in some code to at least track this stuff
  and expose statistics.  But it's up to someone else to experiment with
  the bluetooth coexistence support and add the interesting stuff (like
  "real" detection of bulk, audio, etc bluetooth traffic patterns and
  change wifi parameters appropriately - eg, maximum aggregate length,
  transmit power, using quiet time to control TX duty cycle, etc.)
