- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.

- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets

- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.

- Use conditional instruction to simplify the ARMv6 vDSO. This means
that we no longer perform any branching. In the failure case, we
simply slide over the assignments of the return values.
The vDSO could be improved even further by using stmia to do
assignments in parallel. Unfortunately, the script used to generate
these is not smart enough for that (yet).
Spotted by: andrew@.
- Make the style of the i686 vDSO more similar to the others by using
decimal literals.
Bugs in the Python code used to generate this vDSO caused us to
miscompute the register numbers/stack offsets at which addresses of the
system call output arguments were stored.
Together with some other patches, this vDSO allows us to make all of the
cloudlibc unit tests pass.

In order to make CloudABI work on ARMv6, start off by copying over the
sysvec for ARM64 and adjust it to use 32-bit registers. Also add code
for fetching arguments from the stack if needed, as there are fewer
register than on ARM64.
Also import the vDSO that is needed to invoke system calls. This vDSO
uses the intra procedure call register (ip) to store the system call
number. This is a bit simpler than what native FreeBSD does, as FreeBSD
uses r7, while preserving the original r7 into ip.
This sysvec seems to be complete enough to start CloudABI processes.
These processes are capable of linking in the vDSO and are therefore
capable of executing (most?) system calls successfully. Unfortunately,
the biggest show stopper is still that TLS is completely broken:
- The linker used by CloudABI, LLD, still has troubles with some of the
relocations needed for TLS. See LLVM bug 30218 for more details.
- Whereas FreeBSD uses the tpidruro register for TLS, for CloudABI I
want to make use of tpidrurw, so that userspace can modify the base
address directly. This is needed for efficient emulation.
Unfortunately, this register doesn't seem to be preserved across
context switches yet.

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.

The native CloudABI data types header file used to be pulled in by the
vDSOs when they were still written in C. Since they are now all
rewritten in assembly, this can go away.
Copy over amd64's cloudabi64_sysvec.c into i386 and tailor it to work.
Again, we use a system call convention similar to FreeBSD, except that
there is no support for indirect system calls (%eax == 0).
Where i386 differs from amd64 is that we have to store thread/process
entry arguments on the stack instead of using registers. We also have to
put an extra pointer on the stack for TLS (for GSBASE). Place that
pointer in the empty slot that is normally used to hold return
addresses. That seems to keep the code simple.

The reason why the old vDSOs were written in C using inline assembly was
purely because they were embedded in the C library directly as static
inline functions. This was practical during development, because it
meant you could invoke system calls without any library dependencies.
The vDSO was simply a copy of these functions.
Now that we require the use of the vDSO, there is no longer any need for
embedding them in C code directly. Rewriting them in assembly has the
advantage that they are closer to ideal (less useless branching, less
assumptions about registers remaining unclobbered by the kernel, etc).
They are also easier to build, as they no longer depend on the C type
information for CloudABI.

Now that we've switched over to using the vDSO on CloudABI, it becomes a
lot easier for us to phase out old features. System call numbering is no
longer something that's part of the ABI. It's fully based on names. As
long as the numbering used by the kernel and the vDSO is consistent
(which it always is), it's all right.
Let's put this to the test by removing a system call (thread_tcb_set())
that's already unused for quite some time now, but was only left intact
to serve as a placeholder. Sync in the new system call table that uses
alphabetic sorting of system calls.

CloudABI executables that are emulated on Mac OS X do not invoke system
calls through "syscall". Instead, they make use of a vDSO that is
provided by the emulator that provides symbols for all of the system
call routines. The emulator can implement these any way it likes.
At some point in time we want to do this for native execution as well,
so that CloudABI executables are entirely oblivious of how system calls
need to be performed. They will simply call into functions and let that
deal with all of the details.
These source files can be used to generate a simple vDSO that does
nothing more than invoke "syscall". All we need to do now is map it into
the processes.

* add support to read the timer and capability
* add support to enable/disable the location timer.
On AR9380 at least, enabling the location timer is required to make
the timer tick, otherwise location packets return a timestamp of 0.
However, it then makes /all/ RX packets use the RX location timestamp
instead of the TSF timestamp.
So, unless I find another magical way to do location timestamping,
we will have to dynamically switch things on/off and ensure the
TX/RX path handles the "different" timestamps correctly.
Tested:
* AR9380, STA mode
* LOC_INFO is mostly just "did this packet come with a locationing
timestamp instead of TSF";
* Decode not-sounding, uploaded-data, data-valid, data type and
number of extension spatial streams.
* If fast_ts is set then the TX timestamp is the fast timestamp, not
normal TSF.
* If the TX descriptor has the position bit set then request locationing
and clear sounding-disable. This way we (a) get the response with
the TX timestamp from the location side of things, and (b) we get
a CSI dump of the response ACK, which we will eventually use in the
locationing path.
* the code already stored the length of the RX desc, which I never used.
So, use that and retire the new flag I introduced a while ago.
* Introduce a TX timestamp length field and capability.

Split initializzation an teardown into module (global state) and VNET
(per virtual network stack) parts. Virtualise global state, which is
not "const".
Cleanup eventhandlers, so that we can make use of the passed in argument
to get the vnet state from the ifp; disable the "cloner" event as it is
too early, has no state, and can fire before initialisation (see comment
in the source).
Handle the dynamic sysctls specially. The problem is that "ipmain"
is the virtualized struct, but the fields used for the sysctls are
hanging off memory allocated and attached to the virtualized "ipmain"
thus standard VNET macros and sysctl handling do not work.
We still say it is VNET sysctls to get the proper protection checks
in the VIMAGE case; to solve the problem of accessing the right bit
of memory hanging of each per-VNET ipmain, we use a dedicated handler
function wrapping around sysctl_ipf_int() undoing the base calculation
from kern_sysctl.c and then adding the passed-in offset into the right
struct depending on handler. A bit of a mess exposing VNET-internals
this way but the only way to keep the code without having to massively
restructure ipf internals.

than removing the network interfaces first. This change is rather larger
and convoluted as the ordering requirements cannot be separated.
Move the pfil(9) framework to SI_SUB_PROTO_PFIL, move Firewalls and
related modules to their own SI_SUB_PROTO_FIREWALL.
Move initialization of "physical" interfaces to SI_SUB_DRIVERS,
move virtual (cloned) interfaces to SI_SUB_PSEUDO.
Move Multicast to SI_SUB_PROTO_MC.
Re-work parts of multicast initialisation and teardown, not taking the
huge amount of memory into account if used as a module yet.
For interface teardown we try to do as many of them as we can on
SI_SUB_INIT_IF, but for some this makes no sense, e.g., when tunnelling
over a higher layer protocol such as IP. In that case the interface
has to go along (or before) the higher layer protocol is shutdown.
Kernel hhooks need to go last on teardown as they may be used at various
higher layers and we cannot remove them before we cleaned up the higher
layers.
For interface teardown there are multiple paths:
(a) a cloned interface is destroyed (inside a VIMAGE or in the base system),
(b) any interface is moved from a virtual network stack to a different
network stack ("vmove"), or (c) a virtual network stack is being shut down.
All code paths go through if_detach_internal() where we, depending on the
vmove flag or the vnet state, make a decision on how much to shut down;
in case we are destroying a VNET the individual protocol layers will
cleanup their own parts thus we cannot do so again for each interface as
we end up with, e.g., double-frees, destroying locks twice or acquiring
already destroyed locks.
When calling into protocol cleanups we equally have to tell them
whether they need to detach upper layer protocols ("ulp") or not
(e.g., in6_ifdetach()).
Provide or enahnce helper functions to do proper cleanup at a protocol
rather than at an interface level.

We're currently seeing how hard it would be to run CloudABI binaries on
operating systems cannot be modified easily (Windows, Mac OS X). The
idea is that we want to just run them without any sandboxing. Now
that CloudABI executables are PIE, this is already a bit easier, but TLS
is still problematic:
- CloudABI executables want to write to the %fs, which typically
requires extra system calls by the emulator every time it needs to
switch between CloudABI's and its own TLS.
- If CloudABI executables overwrite the %fs base unconditionally, it
also becomes harder for the emulator to store a backup of the old
value of %fs. To solve this, let's no longer overwrite %fs, but just
%fs:0.
As CloudABI's C library does not use a TCB, this space can now be used
by an emulator to keep track of its internal state. The executable can
now safely overwrite %fs:0, as long as it makes sure that the TCB is
copied over to the new TLS area.
Ensure that there is an initial TLS area set up when the process starts,
only containing a bogus TCB. We don't really care about its contents on
FreeBSD.

The type definitions and constants that were used by COMPAT_CLOUDABI64
are a literal copy of some headers stored inside of CloudABI's C
library, cloudlibc. What is annoying is that we can't make use of
cloudlibc's system call list, as the format is completely different and
doesn't provide enough information. It had to be synced in manually.
We recently decided to solve this (and some other problems) by moving
the ABI definitions into a separate file:
https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudabi/blob/master/cloudabi.txt
This file is processed by a pile of Python scripts to generate the
header files like before, documentation (markdown), but in our case more
importantly: a FreeBSD system call table.
This change discards the old files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and replaces
them by the latest copies, which requires some minor changes here and
there. Because cloudabi.txt also enforces consistent names of the system
call arguments, we have to patch up a small number of system call
implementations to use the new argument names.
The new header files can also be included directly in FreeBSD kernel
space without needing any includes/defines, so we can now remove
cloudabi_syscalldefs.h and cloudabi64_syscalldefs.h. Patch up the
sources to include the definitions directly from sys/contrib/cloudabi

Freescale's QorIQ line includes a new ethernet controller, based on their
Datapath Acceleration Architecture (DPAA). This uses a combination of a Frame
manager, Buffer manager, and Queue manager to improve performance across all
interfaces by being able to pass data directly between hardware acceleration
interfaces.
As part of this import, Freescale's Netcomm Software (ncsw) driver is imported.
This was an attempt by Freescale to create an OS-agnostic sub-driver for
managing the hardware, using shims to interface to the OS-specific APIs. This
work was abandoned, and Freescale's primary work is in the Linux driver (dual
BSD/GPL license). Hence, this was imported directly to sys/contrib, rather than
going through the vendor area. Going forward, FreeBSD-specific changes may be
made to the ncsw code, diverging from the upstream in potentially incompatible
ways. An alternative could be to import the Linux driver itself, using the
linuxKPI layer, as that would maintain parity with the vendor-maintained driver.
However, the Linux driver has not been evaluated for reliability yet, and may
have issues with the import, whereas the ncsw-based driver in this commit was
completed by Semihalf 4 years ago, and is very stable.

Right now the only way to force a cold reset is:
* The HAL itself detects it's needed, or
* The sysctl, setting all resets to be cold.
Trouble is, cold resets take quite a bit longer than warm resets.
However, there are situations where a cold reset would be nice.
Specifically, after a stuck beacon, BB/MAC hang, stuck calibration results,
etc.
The vendor HAL has a separate method to set the reset reason (which is
how HAL_RESET_BBPANIC gets set) which informs the HAL during the reset path
why it occured. This is almost but not quite the same; I may eventually
unify both approaches in the future.
This commit just extends HAL_RESET_TYPE to include both status (eg BBPANIC)
and type (eg do COLD.) None of the HAL code uses it yet though; that'll
come later.
It also is a big no-op in each HAL - I need to go teach each of the HALs

- the nvlist error is set, or
- the nvlist case ignore flag is not set and there is attend to
add element with duplicated name.
In both cases the nvlist_move_nvpair() function free nvpair structure.
If library will try to unpack a binary blob which contains duplicated
names it will end up with using memory after free.
To prevent that, the nvlist_move_nvpair() function interface is changed
to report about failure and checks are added to the nvpair_xunpack()
function.

There are still several bugs, but I've been using it for a while now.
Thanks to all the testers and to Adrian for his help with this
driver.
This driver isn't connected to the build yet, but it will be soon.
There's no MFC planned because the driver isn't very stable yet.

This is required for (more) correct TDMA support. Without it, the
code tries to calculate the required guard interval based on the
current rate, and since this is an 11n NIC and people try using
11n, it calls ath_hal_computetxtime() on an 11n rate which then
panics.
This doesn't fix TDMA slave mode on AR9300 - it just makes it
have one less bug.

Futex object scopes have been renamed from using their own constants to
simply reusing the existing CLOUDABI_MAP_{PRIVATE,SHARED} flags, as they
are more accurate in this context.
Add support for the <sys/mman.h> functions by wrapping around our own
implementations. There are no kern_*() variants of these system calls,
but we also don't need them in this case. It is sufficient to just call
into the sys_*() functions.

Summary:
For CloudABI we need to put two things on the stack of new processes:
the argument data (a binary blob; not strings) and a startup data
structure. The startup data structure contains interesting things such
as a pointer to the ELF program header, the thread ID of the initial
thread, a stack smashing protection canary, and a pointer to the
argument data.
Fetching system call arguments and setting the return value is similar
to FreeBSD. The only differences are that system call 0 does not exist
and that we call into cloudabi_convert_errno() to convert the error
code. We also need this function in a couple of other places, so we'd
better reuse it here.

CloudABI is a pure capability-based runtime environment for UNIX. It
works similar to Capsicum, except that processes already run in
capabilities mode on startup. All functionality that conflicts with this
model has been omitted, making it a compact binary interface that can be
supported by other operating systems without too much effort.
CloudABI is 'secure by default'; the idea is that it should be safe to
run arbitrary third-party binaries without requiring any explicit
hardware virtualization (Bhyve) or namespace virtualization (Jails). The
rights of an application are purely determined by the set of file
descriptors that you grant it on startup.
The datatypes and constants used by CloudABI's C library (cloudlibc) are
defined in separate files called syscalldefs_mi.h (pointer size
independent) and syscalldefs_md.h (pointer size dependent). We import
these files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and wrap around them in
cloudabi*_syscalldefs.h.
We then add stubs for all of the system calls in sys/compat/cloudabi or
sys/compat/cloudabi64, depending on whether the system call depends on
the pointer size. We only have nine system calls that depend on the
pointer size. If we ever want to support 32-bit binaries, we can simply
add sys/compat/cloudabi32 and implement these nine system calls again.
The next step is to send in code reviews for the individual system call
implementations, but also add a sysentvec, to allow CloudABI executabled
to be started through execve().

This is used by the 'athsurvey' command to print out channel survey
statistics - % busy times transmit, receive and airtime.
It's as buggy and incomplete as the rest of the HAL survey support -
notably, tying into the ANI code to read channel stats and occasionally
getting garbage counters isn't very nice. It also doesn't (yet!) get
channel survey information during a scan. But it's good enough for
basic air-time debugging, which is why I'm committing it in this state.

I don't like having it in this function; I may migrate it to ar9300_freebsd.c

This is a custom FreeBSD HAL method that is used by the TDMA code
to program the beacon timers directly without any guesswork/assumptions
by the HAL.
This brings up basic TDMA master/slave support on the AR9380 HAL,
however there are other issues preventing it from being stable.
(I'm seeing beacon interval instability, which may be due to
busy 2GHz air, but also may be due to some HAL configuration
issues with regards to ANI, or hardware timer programming, etc.)
Tested:
* AR9331 (Carambola2), STA, AP, adhoc and TDMA master mode.
The QCA9565 can have RFKILL on GPIO Pin 11, and thus we need to configure
it up correctly or the NIC may not function.
I'm not sure why the AR9382 can't use GPIO 8 / GPIO 11 ; it's likely
hooked up to some external LNA or filter. The real solution is to
make it only block pin 8 / pin 11 for AR9382, but the AR9382 probes
like an AR9380. Sigh.

hw.x2apic_enable tunable allows disabling it from the loader prompt.
To closely repeat effects of the uncached memory ops when accessing
registers in the xAPIC mode, the x2APIC writes to MSRs are preceeded
by mfence, except for the EOI notifications. This is probably too
strict, only ICR writes to send IPI require serialization to ensure
that other CPUs see the previous actions when IPI is delivered. This
may be changed later.
In vmm justreturn IPI handler, call doreti_iret instead of doing iretd
inline, to handle corner conditions.
Note that the patch only switches LAPICs into x2APIC mode. It does not
enables FreeBSD to support > 255 CPUs, which requires parsing x2APIC

socket-buffer implementations, introduce a return value for MCLGET()
(and m_cljget() that underlies it) to allow the caller to avoid testing
M_EXT itself. Update all callers to use the return value.
With this change, very few network device drivers remain aware of
M_EXT; the primary exceptions lie in mbuf-chain pretty printers for
debugging, and in a few cases, custom mbuf and cluster allocation
implementations.
NB: This is a difficult-to-test change as it touches many drivers for
which I don't have physical devices. Instead we've gone for intensive
review, but further post-commit review would definitely be appreciated
to spot errors where changes could not easily be made mechanically,
but were largely mechanical in nature.
