Atheros.
Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original
Atheros open source driver circa 2008. This uses the early, pre-carl9170
atheros provided firmware.
It only supports 11bg at the moment. I've not tested it with 11a
(and so the TX rate control logic may be slightly wrong!) so if
you do have the dual-band version of this hardware please do let me know.
Tested:
* AR9170, TP-Link WN821N 2GHz.
TODO:
* Hook this up to a non-module build.
- Add
nvlist_{add,get,take,move,exists,free}_{number,bool,string,nvlist,
descriptor} functions.
- Add support for (un)packing arrays.
- Add the nvl_array_next field to the nvlist structure.
If an array is added by the nvlist_{move,add}_nvlist_array function
this field will contains next element in the array.
- Add the nitems field to the nvpair and nvpair_header structure.
This field contains number of elements in the array.
- Add special flag (NV_FLAG_IN_ARRAY) which is set if nvlist is a part of
an array.
- Add special type (NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY_NEXT).This type is used only
on packing/unpacking.
- Add new API for traversing arrays (nvlist_get_array_next).
- Add the nvlist_get_pararr function which combines the
nvlist_get_array_next and nvlist_get_parent functions. If nvlist is in
the array it will return next element from array. If nvlist is last
element in array or it isn't in array it will return his
container (parent). This function should simplify traveling over nvlist.
- Add tests for new features.
- Add documentation for new functions.
- Add my copyright.
- Regenerate the sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/nvpair.h file.

- 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().

The goal of this operation is to NOT install header files which shouldn't
be used outside the nvlist library.

In !_KERNEL case, provide our own definition of struct ifnet, that will

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.
Tested:
* AR9380, STA mode

* For now there's no exposed control over classic / LNA antenna diversity,
so just stub them out. Adding this will take quite a bit of time.
* Add a function to fetch the CTS timeout.

I don't like having it in this function; I may migrate it to ar9300_freebsd.c
at some point to keep the HAL code pollution down.
This allows ANI to be disabled via a sysctl.

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.
