- efi_lookup_devpath() uses the DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL to obtain the
DEVICE_PATH for a given EFI handle.
- efi_lookup_image_devpath() uses the LOADED_IMAGE_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL
to lookup the device path of the device used to load a loaded image.
- efi_devpath_name() uses the DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT_PROTOCOL to generate
a string description of a device path. The returned string is a CHAR16
string that can be printed via the recently added '%S' format in
libstand's printf(). Note that the returned string is returned in
allocated storage that should be freed by calling
efi_free_devpath_name().
- efi_devpath_last_node() walks a DEVICE_PATH returning a pointer to the
final node in the path (not counting the terminating node). That is,
it returns a pointer to the last meaninful node in a DEVICE_PATH.
- efi_devpath_trim() generates a new DEVICE_PATH from an existing
DEVICE_PATH. The new DEVICE_PATH does not include the last
non-terminating node in the original path. If the original DEVICE_PATH
only contains the terminating node, this function returns NULL.
The caller is responsible for freeing the returned DEVICE_PATH via
free().
- efi_devpath_handle() attempts to find a handle that corresponds to a
given device path. However, if nodes at the end of the device path do
not have valid handles associated with them, this function will return
a handle that matches a node earlier in the device path. In particular,
this function returns a handle for the node closest to the end of the
device path which has a valid handle.

Implementing AQM in FreeBSD

Overview
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.
The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.
The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.
Project Goals
This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations
* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms
Program Members:
* Rasool Al Saadi (developer)
* Grenville Armitage (project lead)

Pressing the PEK (power enable key) will shutdown the board.
Some events are reported to devd via system "PMU" and subsystem
"Battery", "AC" and "USB" such as connected/disconnected.
Some sensors values (power source voltage/current) are reported via
sysctl (dev.axp209_pmu.X.)
It also expose a gpioc node usable in kernel and userland. Only 3 of
the 4 GPIO are exposed (The GPIO3 is different and mostly unused on
boards). Most popular boards uses GPIO1 as a sense pin for OTG power.
Add a dtsi file that adds gpio-controller capability to the device as
upstream doesn't defined it and include it in our custom DTS.

Though the buffer used by l64a() is initialized with null bytes,
repetetive calls may end up having trailing garbage of previous
invocations because we don't end up terminating the string.
Instead of importing NetBSD's fix, use this opportunity to simplify this
function dramatically, for example by just storing the Base64 character
set in a string. There is also no need to do the bitmasking, as we can
just use the proper integer type from <stdint.h>.

Use the C99 'static' keyword to hint to the compiler IVs and output digest
sizes. The keyword informs the compiler of the minimum valid size for a given
array. Obviously not every pointer can be validated (i.e., the compiler can
produce false negative but not false positive reports).

Not all mbufs passed up from device drivers are M_WRITABLE(). In
particular, the Chelsio T4/T5 driver uses a feature called "buffer packing"
to receive multiple frames in a single receive buffer. The mbufs for
these frames all share the same external storage so are treated as
read-only by the rest of the stack when multiple frames are in flight.
Previously tcp_respond() would blindly overwrite read-only mbufs when
INVARIANTS was disabled or panic with an assertion failure if INVARIANTS
was enabled. Note that the new case is a bit of a mix of the two other
cases in tcp_respond(). The TCP and IP headers must be copied explicitly
into the new mbuf instead of being inherited (similar to the m == NULL
case), but the addresses and ports must be swapped in the reply (similar
to the m != NULL case).

swap_pager_copy() might unlock the object, which allows the parallel
collapse to execute. Besides destroying the object, it also might
move the reference from parent to the backing object, firing the
assertion ref_count == 1.
Collapses are prevented by bumping paging_in_progress counters on both
the object and its backing object.

Change default regulatory domain from DEBUG (no limitations;
exposes all device channels) to FCC; as a result, newly created wireless
interface with default settings will have less chances to violate
country-specific regulations.
This change will not affect drivers with pre-initialized regdomain
structure (currentry ath(4) and mwl(4)); in that case, the default
channel list must correspond to the default regdomain / country setting.
You can switch to another regdomain / country via corresponding
ifconfig(8) options; the driver must implement ic_getradiocaps()
method to restore full channel list.
Full country / regdomain list may be obtained via
'ifconfig <iface> list countries' command.
Example: change country to Germany:
ifconfig wlan0 down # all wlans on the device must be down
ifconfig wlan0 country DE
ifconfig wlan0 up
# wpa_supplicant(8), dhclient(8) etc
At the creation time:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 country DE
To make changes permanent add the following line to the rc.conf(5):
create_args_wlan0="country DE"

"qsort()".
The kernel's "qsort()" routine can in worst case spend O(N*N) amount of
comparisons before the input array is sorted. It can also recurse a
significant amount of times using up the kernel's interrupt thread
stack.
The custom sorting routine takes advantage of that the sorting key is
only 64 bits. Based on set and cleared bits in the sorting key it
partitions the array until it is sorted. This process has a recursion
limit of 64 times, due to the number of set and cleared bits which can
occur. Compiled with -O2 the sorting routine was measured to use
64-bytes of stack. Multiplying this by 64 gives a maximum stack
consumption of 4096 bytes for AMD64. The same applies to the execution
time, that the array to be sorted will not be traversed more than 64
times.
When serving roughly 80Gb/s with 80K TCP connections, the old method
consisting of "qsort()" and "tcp_lro_mbuf_compare_header()" used 1.4%
CPU, while the new "tcp_lro_sort()" used 1.1% for LRO related sorting
as measured by Intel Vtune. The testing was done using a sysctl to
toggle between "qsort()" and "tcp_lro_sort()".

in ICL interface.
- the ordering of parameters to icl_conn_task_setup is different, so that
the "cookie" is last.
- the icl_conn_connected() method is gone, replaced by much simpler mechanism.
I'd rather keep the ICL interface as small as possible.
- I don't really like the s/offload/driver/g. The "tcp" is not a driver;
"iser" is not really a driver either. I'd prefer to leave it as it is.
- the check for ic_session_type_discovery() in iser_conn_handoff() is gone,
as handoff cannot happen for discovery sessions.
- ic_session_login_phase() and ic_session_type_discovery() are gone. If you
had your handoff method called - you're no longer in either of those.
- the way maxtags is passed is different; now it's simply ic->ic_maxtags.
It's cleaner, and the old way would cause weird things to happen if
fail_on_disconnection=1 and the user changed the maxtags sysctl before
reconnecting (basically the CAM idea of maxtags would be different from
iSER one).
- icl_hba_misc() is gone; declare support for PIM_UNMAPPED by setting
ic->ic_unmapped flag.
- the way we find the "iser" ICL module is rewritten - we have a flag
for icl_register() that says if the module is iSER-capable or not.
- icl_conn_release() is gone; iser_conn_release() is called from
iser_conn_free() (no functional change in this case) and at the beginning
of icl_conn_connect(), to handle reconnection.
