Linux SCSI SG passthrough device API. The intention is to allow for both
running of Linux apps that want to talk to /dev/sg* nodes, and to facilitate
porting of apps from Linux to FreeBSD. As such, both native and linuxolator
entry points and definitions are provided.
Caveats:
- This does not support the procfs and sysfs nodes that the Linux SG
driver provides. Some Linux apps may rely on these for operation,
others may only use them for informational purposes.
- More ioctls need to be implemented.
- Linux uses a naming scheme of "sg[a-z]" for devices, while FreeBSD uses a
scheme of "sg[0-9]". Devfs aliasis (symlinks) are automatically created
to link the two together. However, tools like camcontrol only see the
native names.
- Some operations were originally designed to return byte counts or other
data directly as the syscall return value. The linuxolator doesn't appear
to support this well, so this driver just punts for these cases.
Now that the driver is in place, others are welcome to add missing
functionality. Thanks to Roman Divacky for pushing this work along.
When the linux port changes were imported which split the
target command list to be separate from the initiator command
list and the handle format changed to encode a type in the handle
the implications to the function isp_handle_index (which only
the NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD ports use) were overlooked.
The fault is twofold: first, the index into the DMA maps
in isp_pci is wrong because a target command handle with
the type bit left in place caused a bad index (and panic)
into dma map. Secondly, the assumption of the array
of DMA maps in either PCS or SBUS attachment structures is
that there is a linear mapping between handle index and
DMA map index. This can no longer be true if there are
overlapping index spaces for initiator mode and target
mode commands.
These changes bandaid around the problem by forcing us
to not have simultaneous dual roles and doing the appropriate
masking to make sure things are indexed correctly. A longer
term fix is being devloped.
obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks. The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks. This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.
A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior. The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.
Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.
The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.
The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.
The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

sun4v nexus(4) in turn is based on):
o Change nexus(4) to manage the resources of its children so the
respective device drivers don't need to figure them out of OFW
themselves.
o Change nexus(4) to provide the ofw_bus KOBJ interface instead of
using IVARs for supplying the OFW node and the subset of standard
properties of its children. Together with the previous change this
also allows to fully take advantage of newbus in that drivers like
fhc(4), which attach on multiple parent busses, no longer require
different bus front-ends as obtaining the OFW node and properties
as well as resource allocation works the same for all supported
busses. As such this change also is part 4/4 of allowing creator(4)
to work in USIII-based machines as it allows this driver to attach
on both nexus(4) and upa(4). On the other hand removing these IVARs
breaks API compatibility with the powerpc nexus(4) but which isn't
that bad as a) sparc64 currently doesn't share any device driver
hanging off of nexus(4) with powerpc and b) they were no longer
compatible regarding OFW-related extensions at the pci(4) level
since quite some time.
o Provide bus_get_dma_tag methods in nexus(4) and its children in
order to handle DMA tags in a hierarchical way and get rid of the
sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge. Together with the previous two items
this changes also allows to completely get rid of the nexus(4)
IVAR interface. It also includes:
- pushing the constraints previously specified by the nexus_dmatag
down into the DMA tags of psycho(4) and sbus(4) as it's their
IOMMUs which induce these restrictions (and nothing at the
nexus(4) or anything that would warrant specifying them there),
- fixing some obviously wrong constraints of the psycho(4) and
sbus(4) DMA tags, which happened to not actually be used with
the sparc64_root_dma_tag kludge in place and therefore didn't
cause problems so far,
- replacing magic constants for constraints with macros as far
as it is obvious as to where they come from.
This doesn't include taking advantage of the newbus way to get
the parent DMA tags implemented by this change in order to divorce
the IOTSBs of the PCI and SBus IOMMUs or for implementing the
workaround for the DMA sync bug in Sabre (and Tomatillo) bridges,
yet, though.
o Get rid of the notion that nexus(4) (mostly) reflects an UPA bus
by replacing ofw_upa.h and with ofw_nexus.h (which was repo-copied
from ofw_upa.h) and renaming its content, which actually applies to
all of Fireplane/Safari, JBus and UPA (in the host bus case), as
appropriate.
o Just use M_DEVBUF instead of a separate M_NEXUS malloc type for
allocating the device info for the children of nexus(4). This is
done in order to not need to export M_NEXUS when deriving drivers
for subordinate busses from the nexus(4) class.
o Use the DEFINE_CLASS_0() macro to declare the nexus(4) driver so
we can derive subclasses from it.
o Const'ify the nexus_excl_name and nexus_excl_type arrays as well
as add 'associations' and 'rsc', which are pseudo-devices without
resources and therefore of no real interest for nexus(4), to the
former.
o Let the nexus(4) device memory rman manage the entire 64-bit address
space instead of just the UPA_MEMSTART to UPA_MEMEND subregion as
Fireplane/Safari- and JBus-based machines use multiple ranges,
which can't be as easily divided as in the case of UPA (limiting
the address space only served for sanity checking anyway).
o Use M_WAITOK instead of M_NOWAIT when allocating the device info
for children of nexus(4) in order to give one less opportunity
for adding devices to nexus(4) to fail.
o While adapting the drivers affected by the above nexus(4) changes,
change them to take advantage of rman_get_rid() instead of caching
the RIDs assigned to allocated resources, now that the RIDs of
resources are correctly set.
o In iommu(4) and nexus(4) replace hard-coded functions names, which
actually became outdated in several places, in panic strings and
status massages with __func__. [1]
o Use driver_filter_t in prototypes where appropriate.
o Add my copyright to creator(4), fhc(4), nexus(4), psycho(4) and
sbus(4) as I changed considerable amounts of these drivers as well
as added a bunch of new features, workarounds for silicon bugs etc.
o Fix some white space nits.
Due to lack of access to Exx00 hardware, these changes, i.e. central(4)
and fhc(4), couldn't be runtime tested on such a machine. Exx00 are
currently reported to panic before trying to attach nexus(4) anyway

arrangement that has no intrinsic internal knowledge of whether devices
it is given are truly multipath devices. As such, this is a simplistic
approach, but still a useful one.
The basic approach is to (at present- this will change soon) use camcontrol
to find likely identical devices and and label the trailing sector of the
first one. This label contains both a full UUID and a name. The name is
what is presented in /dev/multipath, but the UUID is used as a true
distinguishor at g_taste time, thus making sure we don't have chaos
on a shared SAN where everyone names their data multipath as "Fred".
The first of N identical devices (and N *may* be 1!) becomes the active
path until a BIO request is failed with EIO or ENXIO. When this occurs,
the active disk is ripped away and the next in a list is picked to
(retry and) continue with.
During g_taste events new disks that meet the match criteria for existing
multipath geoms get added to the tail end of the list.
Thus, this active/passive setup actually does work for devices which
go away and come back, as do (now) mpt(4) and isp(4) SAN based disks.
There is still a lot to do to improve this- like about 5 of the 12
recommendations I've received about it, but it's been functional enough
for a while that it deserves a broader test base.

bus hanging off from the Fireplane/Safari bus in some USIII machines.
This is part 3/4 of allowing creator(4) to work in these machines.
The little info needed on how to configure the bridge and to work
around the incorrect values contained in the `interrupts' properties
of its children were obtained form OpenSolaris.
The separate bus front-end was inherited from the OpenBSD creator(4),
which at that time had a mainbus(4) (for USI/II machines, which use
an UPA interconnection bus as the nexus) and an upa(4) (for USIII
machines, which use a subordinate/slave UPA bus hanging off from the
Fireplane/Safari interconnection bus) front-end. With FreeBSD and
newbus there is/will be no need to have two separate bus front-ends
for these busses, so we can easily coallapse the shared front-end
and the back-end into a single source file (note that the FreeBSD
creator_upa.c was misnomer anyway; based on what it actually attached
to that should have been creator_nexus.c), actually OpenBSD meanwhile
also has moved to a shared front-end and a single source file. Due
to the low-level console support creator.c also wasn't free from bus
related things before.
While at it, also split sys/sparc64/creator/creator.h into a
sys/dev/fb/creatorreg.h that only contains register macros and move
the structures to the top of sys/dev/fb/creator.c as suggested by
style(9) so creator(4) is no longer scattered over two directories.
- Use OF_decode_addr()/sparc64_fake_bustag() to obtain the bus tags and
handles for the low-level console support instead of hardcoding
support for AFB/FFB hanging off from nexus(4) only. This is part 2/4
of allowing creator(4) to work in USIII machines (which have a UPA
bus hanging off from the Fireplane/Safari bus reflected by the nexus),
which already makes it work as the low-level console there.
- Allocate resources in the bus attach routine regardless of whether
creator(4) is used as for the low-level console and thus the required
bus tags and handles have been already obtained or not so the resources
are marked as taken in the respective RMAN.
- For both obtaining the bus tags and handles for the low-level console
support as well as allocating the corresponding resources in the
regular bus attach routine don't bother to get all for the maximum of
24 register banks but only (for) the two tag/handle pairs required for
providing the video interface for syscons(4) support. If we can't
allocate the rest of them just limit the memory range accessible via
creator_fb_mmap() accordingly.
- Sanity check the memory range spanned by the first and last resources
and the resources in between as far as possible, as the XFree86/Xorg
sunffb(4) expects to be able to access the whole region, even though
the backing resources are actually non-continuous. Limit and check
the memory range accessible via creator_fb_mmap() accordingly.
- Reduce the size of buffers for OFW properties to what they actually
need to hold.
- Rename some tables to creator_<foo> for consistency.
- Also for the sizes in the creator_fb_mmap() mapping table entries use
macros for consistency, add macros for the remaining register banks
for completeness.

Putting the buffer on the stack was my initial solution, but it was

privilege for threads and credentials. Unlike the existing suser(9)
interface, priv(9) exposes a named privilege identifier to the privilege
checking code, allowing more complex policies regarding the granting of
privilege to be expressed. Two interfaces are provided, replacing the
existing suser(9) interface:
suser(td) -> priv_check(td, priv)
suser_cred(cred, flags) -> priv_check_cred(cred, priv, flags)
A comprehensive list of currently available kernel privileges may be
found in priv.h. New privileges are easily added as required, but the
comments on adding privileges found in priv.h and priv(9) should be read
before doing so.
The new privilege interface exposed sufficient information to the
privilege checking routine that it will now be possible for jail to
determine whether a particular privilege is granted in the check routine,
rather than relying on hints from the calling context via the
SUSER_ALLOWJAIL flag. For now, the flag is maintained, but a new jail
check function, prison_priv_check(), is exposed from kern_jail.c and used
by the privilege check routine to determine if the privilege is permitted
in jail. As a result, a centralized list of privileges permitted in jail
is now present in kern_jail.c.
The MAC Framework is now also able to instrument privilege checks, both
to deny privileges otherwise granted (mac_priv_check()), and to grant
privileges otherwise denied (mac_priv_grant()), permitting MAC Policy
modules to implement privilege models, as well as control a much broader
range of system behavior in order to constrain processes running with
root privilege.
The suser() and suser_cred() functions remain implemented, now in terms
of priv_check() and the PRIV_ROOT privilege, for use during the transition
and possibly continuing use by third party kernel modules that have not
been updated. The PRIV_DRIVER privilege exists to allow device drivers to
check privilege without adopting a more specific privilege identifier.
This change does not modify the actual security policy, rather, it
modifies the interface for privilege checks so changes to the security
policy become more feasible.

emit AT keyboard/KB_101 compatible scan codes in K_RAW mode as assumed by

triggers the use of AT keyboard maps and thus allows to use the map files

The former has been fixed for arches that implement high-res profiling,

when it started forcing -fno-inline. -fno-inline gives a kernel with
performance characteristics too different from a normal kernel to be
worth profiling, by turning off inlining of all the little optimized
functions in headers. This interacts especially badly with FreeBSD's
use of "static inline" for all inlines in headers, by creating many
separate copies of the little functions, so not inlining tends to
increase cache pressure where it should reduce it, and (since gprof(1)
doesn't understand the copies) the statistics for the little functions
are hard to interpret even if you want them.

They also contain specialized crummyness which tries to compensate
for the general crummyness by caching recent conversion results,

These replacement functions are smaller, O(1) and handle the Y2.1K

Ideally, these functions should live in a module of their own,
