used with Terasic's DE-4 and other similar FPGA boards. This display
is 800x480 and includes a capacitive touch screen, multi-touch
gesture recognition, etc. This device driver depends on a Cambridge-
provided IP core that allows the MTL device to be hooked up to the
Altera Avalon SoC bus, and also provides a VGA-like text frame buffer.
Although it is compiled as a single device driver, it actually
implements a number of different device nodes exporting various
aspects of this multi-function device to userspace:
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL 24-bit pixel frame buffer.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL control register set.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL text frame buffer.
- syscons attachment for the MTL text frame buffer.
This driver attaches directly to Nexus as is common for SoC device
drivers, and for the time being is considered BERI-specific, although
in principle it might be used with other hard and soft cores on
Altera FPGAs.
Control registers, including touchscreen input, are simply memory
mapped; in the future it would be desirable to hook up a more
conventional device node that can stream events, support kqueue(2)/
poll(2)/select(2), etc.
This is the first use of syscons on MIPS, as far as I can tell, and
there are some loose ends, such as an inability to use the hardware
cursor. More fundamentally, it appears that syscons(4) assumes that
either a host is PC-like (i386, amd64) *or* it must be using a
graphical frame buffer. While the MTL supports a graphical frame
buffer, using the text frame buffer is preferable for console use.
Fixing this issue in syscons(4) requires non-trivial changes, as the
text frame buffer support assumes that direct memory access can be
done to the text frame buffer without using bus accessor methods,
which is not the case on MIPS. As a workaround for this, we instead
double-buffer and pretend to be a graphical frame buffer exposing
text accessor methods, leading to some quirks in syscons behaviour.

The driver attempts to support all documented parts, but has only been

which presents a UART-like interface over the Avalon bus that can be
addressed over JTAG. This IP core proves extremely useful, allowing us to
connect trivially to the FreeBSD console over JTAG for FPGA-embedded hard
and soft cores. As interrupts are optionally configured for this soft
core, we support both interrupt-driven and polled modes of operation,
which must be selected using device.hints. UART instances appear in /dev
as ttyu0, ttyu1, etc.
However, it also contains a number of quirks, which make it difficult to
tell when JTAG is connected, and some buffering issues. We work around
these as best we can, using various heuristics.
While the majority of this device driver is not only not BERI-specific,
but also not MIPS-specific, for now add its defines in the BERI files
list, as the console-level parts are aware of where the first JTAG UART
is mapped on Avalon, and contain MIPS-specific address translation, to
use before Newbus and device.hints are available.

which can be synthesised in Altera FPGAs. An altera_sdcardc device
probes during the boot, and /dev/altera_sdcard devices come and go as
inserted and removed. The device driver attaches directly to the
Nexus, as is common for system-on-chip device drivers.
This IP core suffers a number of significant limitations, including a
lack of interrupt-driven I/O -- we must implement timer-driven polling,
only CSD 0 cards (up to 2G) are supported, there are serious memory
access issues that require the driver to verify writes to memory-mapped
buffers, undocumented alignment requirements, and erroneous error
returns. The driver must therefore work quite hard, despite a fairly
simple hardware-software interface. The IP core also supports at most
one outstanding I/O at a time, so is not a speed demon.
However, with the above workarounds, and subject to performance
problems, it works quite reliably in practice, and we can use it for
read-write mounts of root file systems, etc.

CPU cores on Altera FPGAs. The device driver allows memory-mapped devices
on Altera's Avalon SoC bus to be exported to userspace via device nodes.
device.hints directories dictate device name, permissible access methods,
physical address and length, and I/O alignment. Devices can be accessed
using read(2)/write(2), but also memory mapped in userspace using mmap(2).
Devices attach directly to the Nexus, as is common for embedded device
drivers; in the future something more mature might be desirable. There is
currently no facility to support directing device-originated interrupts to
userspace.
In the future, this device driver may be renamed to socgen(4), as it can
in principle also be used with other system-on-chip (SoC) busses, such as
Axi on ASICs and FPGAs. However, we have only tested it on Avalon busses
with memory-mapped ROMs, frame buffers, etc.

The existing logic assumed that the first descriptor is i == 0, which
doesn't hold for EDMA TX. In this instance, the first time filltxdesc()
is called can be up to i == 3.
So for a two-buffer descriptor:
* firstSeg is set to 0;
* lastSeg is set to 1;
* the ath_hal_filltxdesc() code will treat it as the last segment in
a descriptor chain and blank some of the descriptor fields, causing
the TX to stop.
When firstSeg is set to 1 (regardless of lastSeg), it overrides the
lastSeg setting. Thus, ath_hal_filltxdesc() won't blank out these
fields.

- Set DDP threshold to the max payload that the chip will coalesce and
deliver to the driver (this is ~16K by default, which is also why the
offload rx queue is backed by 16K buffers). If the chip is able to
coalesce up to the max it's allowed to, it's a good sign that the peer
is transmitting in bulk without any TCP PSH.

This feature has not been tested yet, due to lack of hardware.
This feature is useful when implementing protocols like UASP,

This patch also implements support for hardware processing of endpoints

of an endpoint is done via a callback to the USB controller driver. The

necessary to "do" EDMA.
It was just using the TX completion status for logging information about
the descriptor completion. Since with EDMA we don't know this without
checking the TX completion FIFO, we can't provide this information.
So don't.
Now that I understand what's going on with this, I've realised that
it's going to be quite difficult to implement a processq method in
the EDMA case. Because there's a separate TX status FIFO, I can't
just run processq() on each EDMA TXQ to see what's finished.
i have to actually run the TX status queue and handle individual
TXQs.
So:
* unmethodize ath_tx_processq();
* leave ath_tx_draintxq() as a method, as it only uses the completion status
for debugging rather than actively completing the frames (ie, all frames
here are failed);
* Methodize ath_draintxq().
The EDMA ath_draintxq() will have to take care of running the TX
completion FIFO before (potentially) freeing frames in the queue.
The only two places where ath_tx_draintxq() (on a single TXQ) are used:
* ath_draintxq(); and
* the CABQ handling in the beacon setup code - it drains the CABQ before
populating the CABQ with frames for a new beacon (when doing multi-VAP
operation.)
So it's quite possible that once I methodize the CABQ and beacon handling,
I can just drop ath_tx_draintxq() in its entirety.
Finally, it's also quite possible that I can remove ath_tx_draintxq()
in the future and just "teach" it to not check the status when doing
EDMA.
EDMA HAL hardware.
* The EDMA HAL code assumes the nexttbtt and intval values are in TU/8
units, rather than TU. For now, just "hack" around that here, at least
until I code up something to translate it in the HAL.
* Setup some different TXQ flags for EDMA hardware.
* The EDMA HAL doesn't support setting the first rate series via
ath_hal_setuptxdesc() - instead, a call to ath_hal_set11nratescenario()
is always required. So for now, just do an 11n rate series setup
for EDMA beacon frames.
This allows my AR9380 to successfully transmit beacon frames.
However, CABQ TX and all normal data frame TX and TX completion is
still not functional and will require some more significant code churn
to make work.
I was having TX hang issues, which I root caused to having the
legacy ath_hal_setupxtxdesc() called, rather than the 11n rate scenario
setup code. This meant that rate control information wasn't being
put into frames, causing the MAC to stall/hang.
* Add ATH_TXQ_FIRST() for easy tasting of what's on the list;
* Add an "axq_fifo_depth" for easy tracking of how deep the current
FIFO is;
* Flesh out the handoff (mcast, hw) functions;
* Begin fleshing out a TX ISR proc, which tastes the TX status FIFO.
The legacy hardware stuffs the TX completion at the end of the final frame
descriptor (or final sub-frame when doing aggregate.) So it's feasible
to do a per-TXQ drain and process, as the needed info is right there.
For EDMA hardware, there's a separate TX completion FIFO. So the TX
process routine needs to read the single FIFO and then process the
frames in each hardware queue.
This makes it difficult to do a per-queue process, as you'll end up with
frames in the TX completion FIFO for a different TXQ to the one you've
passed to ath_tx_draintxq() or ath_tx_processq().
Testing:
I've tested the TX queue and TX completion code in hostap mode on an
AR9380. Beacon frames successfully transmit and the completion routine
is called. Occasional data frames end up in TXQ 1 and are also
successfully completed.
However, this requires some changes to the beacon code path as:
* The AR9380 beacon configuration API is now in TU/8, rather than
TU;
* The AR9380 TX API requires the rate control is setup using a call
to setup11nratescenario, rather than having the try0 series setup
(rate/tries for the first series); so the beacon won't go out.
I'll follow this up with commits to the beacon code.

array, similar to what filltxdesc() uses.
This removes the last reference to ds_data in the TX path outside of
debugging statements. These need to be adjusted/fixed.
Tested:
* AR9280 STA/AP with iperf TCP traffic
The existing API only exposes 'seglen' (the current buffer (segment) length)
with the data buffer pointer set in 'ds_data'. This is fine for the legacy
DMA engine but it won't work for the EDMA engines.
The EDMA engine has a significantly different TX descriptor layout.
* The legacy DMA engine had a ds_data pointer at the same offset in the
descriptor for both TX and RX buffers;
* The EDMA engine has no ds_data for RX - the data is DMAed after the
descriptor;
* The EDMA engine has support for 4 TX buffer/segment pairs in the TX
DMA descriptor;
* The EDMA TX completion is in a different FIFO, and the driver will
'link' the status completion entry to a QCU by a "QCU ID".
I don't know why it's just not filled in by the hardware, alas.
So given that, here are the changes:
* Instead of directly fondling 'ds_data' in ath_desc, change the
ath_hal_filltxdesc() to take an array of buffer pointers as well
as segment len pointers;
* The EDMA TX completion status wants a descriptor and queue id.
This (for now) uses bf_state.bfs_txq and will extract the hardware QCU
ID from that.
* .. and this is ugly and wasteful; it should change to just store
the QCU in the bf_state and save 3/7 bytes in the process.
Now, the weird crap:
* The aggregate TX path was using bf_state->bfs_txq for the TXQ, rather than
taking a function argument. I've tidied that up.
* The multicast queue frames get put on a software TXQ and then that is
appended to the hardware CABQ when appropriate. So for now, make sure
that bf_state->bfs_txq points at the CABQ when adding frames to the
multicast queue.
* .. but the multicast queue TX path for now doesn't use the software
queue and instead
(a) directly sets up the descriptor contents at that point;
(b) the frames on the vap->avp_mcastq are then just appended wholesale
to the CABQ.
So for now, I don't have to worry about making the multicast path
work with aggregation or the per-TID software queue. Phew.
What's left to do:
* I need to modify the 11n ath_hal_chaintxdesc() API to do the same.

Use the interface number from the USB interface descriptor
like in the other USB serial drivers. These numbers are not
supposed to be different, though in theory they can. Make sure
that the driver then uses the interface number given by the USB
descriptor, and not the logical index of the USB stack.
For the future:
Whenever the term "index" is used in the USB code, it refers to
a number computed by the USB stack.
Whenever the term "number" is used in the USB code, it refers to
a number in a USB descriptor.

support for only the first port, but the CP2105 can have multiple ports.
Although this allowed the first port to mostly work on multi port devices,
there could be issues with this arrangement.
Update the man page to reflect support for both ports and the CP2105.
Many thanks to Silicon Labs (www.silabs.com) for providing a CP2105-EK

When forming aggregates, the last descriptor was now not being
correctly setup - instead, the "setuplasttxdesc" call was being
handed the first descriptor in the last subframe, rather than the
last descriptor in the last subframe.
This showed up as "bad series0 hwrate" messages, as the final
descriptor just didn't have any of the rate control information
squirreled away.

The legacy (pre-802.11n) hardware doesn't support this - although
the AR5212 era hardware supports MRR, it doesn't have all the bits
needed to support MRR + RTS/CTS. The AR5416 and later support
a packet duration and RTS/CTS flags per rate scenario, so we should
support it.

code is called and remove it from ath_buf_set_rate().
For the legacy (non-11n API) TX routines, ath_hal_filltxdesc() takes care
of setting up the intermediary and final descriptors right, complete
with copying the rate control info into the final descriptor so the
rate modules can grab it.
The 11n version doesn't do this - ath_hal_chaintxdesc() doesn't
copy the rate control bits over, nor does it clear isaggr/moreaggr/
pad delimiters. So the call to setuplasttxdesc() is needed here.
So:
* legacy NICs - never call the 11n rate control stuff, so filltxdesc
copies the rate control info right;
* 11n NICs transmitting legacy or 11n non-aggregate frames -
ath_hal_set11nratescenario() is called to setup rate control and
then ath_hal_filltxdesc() chains them together - so the rate control
info is right;
* 11n aggregate frames - set11nratescenario() is called, then
ath_hal_chaintxdesc() is called to chain a list of aggregate and subframes
together. This requires a call to ath_hal_setuplasttxdesc() to complete
things.
Tested:
* AR9280 in station mode

* I really should make sure that the descriptor contents get blanked

functions, for both legacy and 802.11n.
This will simplify supporting the EDMA chipsets as these two descriptor
setup functions can just be overridden in their entirety, hiding all of
the subtle differences in setting things up.
It's not a permanent solution, as eventually the AR5416 HAL should grow
similar versions of the 11n descriptor functions and then those can be
used.
TODO:
* Push the "clr11naggr" call into the legacy setds, just to ensure
that retried frames don't end up with the aggregate bits set
inappropriately;
* Remove the "setlasttxdesc" call from the 11n TX path and push it
into setds_11n.
* Ensure that setds_11n will work correctly for non-aggregate frames;
* .. and then when it does, just unconditionally call "setds_11n" for
11n NICs and "setds" for non-11n NICs.
For C1 and C2 states use cpu_ticks() to measure sleep time instead of much
slower ACPI timer. We can't do it for C3, as TSC may stop there. But it is
less important there as wake up latency is high any way.
For C1 and C2 states do not check/clear bus mastering activity status, as
it is important only for C3. As side effect it can make CPU enter C2 instead
of C3 if last BM activity was two sleeps back (unlike one before), but
that may be even good because of collecting more statistics. Premature BM
wakeup from C3, entered because of overestimation, can easily be worse then
entering C2 from both performance and power consumption points of view.

The correct ordering for non-aggregate TX is:
* call ath_hal_setuptxdesc() to setup the first TX descriptor complete
with the first TX rate/try count;
* call ath_hal_setupxtxdesc() to setup the multi-rate retry;
* .. or for 802.11n NICs, call ath_hal_set11nratescenario() for MRR and
802.11n flags;
* then call ath_hal_filltxdesc() to setup intermediary descriptors
in a multi-descriptor single frame.
The call to ath_hal_filltxdesc() routines seem to correctly (consistently?)
handle the intermediary descriptor flags, including copying the rate
control information to the final descriptor in the frame. That's used
by the rate control module rather than the hardware.
Tested:
* Only on AR9280 STA mode, however it should work on other chips in
both STA and AP mode.
wrapping.
The previous code was only wrapping descriptor "block" boundaries rather
than individual descriptors. It sounds equivalent but it isn't.
r238824 changed the descriptor allocation to enforce that an individual
descriptor doesn't wrap a 4KiB boundary rather than the whole block
of descriptors. Eg, for TX descriptors, they're allocated in blocks
of 10 descriptors for each ath_buf (for scatter/gather DMA.)
MISC CHANGES
Add a new async event- ISP_TARGET_NOTIFY_ACK, that will guarantee
eventual delivery of a NOTIFY ACK. This is tons better than just
ignoring the return from isp_notify_ack and hoping for the best.
Clean up the lower level lun enable code to be a bit more sensible.
Fix a botch in isp_endcmd which was messing up the sense data.
Fix notify ack for SRR to use a sensible error code in the case
of a reject.
Clean up and make clear what kind of firmware we've loaded and
what capabilities it has.
-----------
FULL (252 byte) SENSE DATA
In CTIOs for the ISP, there's only a limimted amount of space
to load SENSE DATA for associated CHECK CONDITIONS (24 or 26
bytes). This makes it difficult to send full SENSE DATA that can
be up to 252 bytes.
Implement MODE 2 responses which have us build the FCP Response
in system memory which the ISP will put onto the wire directly.
On the initiator side, the same problem occurs in that a command
status response only has a limited amount of space for SENSE DATA.
This data is supplemented by status continuation responses that
the ISP pushes onto the response queue after the status response.
We now pull them all together so that full sense data can be
returned to the periph driver.
This is supported on 23XX, 24XX and 25XX cards.
This is also preparation for doing >16 byte CDBs.
-----------
FC TAPE
Implement full FC-TAPE on both initiator and target mode side. This
capability is driven by firmware loaded, board type, board NVRAM
settings, or hint configuration options to enable or disable. This
is supported for 23XX, 24XX and 25XX cards.
On the initiator side, we pretty much just have to generate a command
reference number for each command we send out. This is FCP-4 compliant
in that we do this per ITL nexus to generate the allowed 1 thru 255
CRN.
In order to support the target side of FC-TAPE, we now pay attention
to more of the PRLI word 3 parameters which will tell us whether
an initiator wants confirmed responses. While we're at it, we'll
pay attention to the initiator view too and report it.
On sending back CTIOs, we will notice whether the initiator wants
confirmed responses and we'll set up flags to do so.
If a response or data frame is lost the initiator sends us an SRR
(Sequence Retransmit Request) ELS which shows up as an SRR notify
and all outstanding CTIOs are nuked with SRR Received status. The
SRR notify contains the offset that the initiator wants us to restart
the data transfer from or to retransmit the response frame.
If the ISP driver still has the CCB around for which the data segment
or response applies, it will retransmit.
However, we typically don't know about a lost data frame until we
send the FCP Response and the initiator totes up counters for data
moved and notices missing segments. In this case we've already
completed the data CCBs already and sent themn back up to the periph
driver. Because there's no really clean mechanism yet in CAM to
handle this, a hack has been put into place to complete the CTIO
CCB with the CAM_MESSAGE_RECV status which will have a MODIFY DATA
POINTER extended message in it. The internal ISP target groks this
and ctl(8) will be modified to deal with this as well.
At any rate, the data is retransmitted and an an FCP response is
sent. The whole point here is to successfully complete a command
so that you don't have to depend on ULP (SCSI) to have to recover,
which in the case of tape is not really possible (hence the name
FC-TAPE).

* AR9280 and AR9287 support 1-stream STBC TX.
The STBC support isn't announced (yet) via net80211 and it isn't at all

of buffers, only the number of descriptors.
This involves:
* Change the allocation function to not use nbuf at all;
* When calling it, pass in "nbuf * ndesc" to correctly update how many
descriptors are being allocated.
Whilst here, fix the descriptor allocation code to correctly allocate
a larger buffer size if the Merlin 4KB WAR is required. It overallocates
descriptors when allocating a block that doesn't ever have a 4KB boundary
being crossed, but that can be fixed at a later stage.

VALE lets you dynamically instantiate multiple software bridges
that talk the netmap API (and are *extremely* fast), so you can test
netmap applications without the need for high end hardware.
This is particularly useful as I am completing a netmap-aware
version of ipfw, and VALE provides an excellent testing platform.
Also, I also have netmap backends for qemu mostly ready for commit
to the port, and this too will let you interconnect virtual machines
at high speed without fiddling with bridges, tap or other slow solutions.
The API for applications is unchanged, so you can use the code
in tools/tools/netmap (which i will update soon) on the VALE ports.
This commit also syncs the code with the one in my internal repository,
so you will see some conditional code for other platforms.
The code should run mostly unmodified on stable/9 so people interested
in trying it can just copy sys/dev/netmap/ and sys/net/netmap*.h
