sleep queue interface:
- Sleep queues attempt to merge some of the benefits of both sleep queues
and condition variables. Having sleep qeueus in a hash table avoids
having to allocate a queue head for each wait channel. Thus, struct cv
has shrunk down to just a single char * pointer now. However, the
hash table does not hold threads directly, but queue heads. This means
that once you have located a queue in the hash bucket, you no longer have
to walk the rest of the hash chain looking for threads. Instead, you have
a list of all the threads sleeping on that wait channel.
- Outside of the sleepq code and the sleep/cv code the kernel no longer
differentiates between cv's and sleep/wakeup. For example, calls to
abortsleep() and cv_abort() are replaced with a call to sleepq_abort().
Thus, the TDF_CVWAITQ flag is removed. Also, calls to unsleep() and
cv_waitq_remove() have been replaced with calls to sleepq_remove().
- The sched_sleep() function no longer accepts a priority argument as
sleep's no longer inherently bump the priority. Instead, this is soley
a propery of msleep() which explicitly calls sched_prio() before
blocking.
- The TDF_ONSLEEPQ flag has been dropped as it was never used. The
associated TDF_SET_ONSLEEPQ and TDF_CLR_ON_SLEEPQ macros have also been
dropped and replaced with a single explicit clearing of td_wchan.
TD_SET_ONSLEEPQ() would really have only made sense if it had taken
the wait channel and message as arguments anyway. Now that that only
happens in one place, a macro would be overkill.

to a new mac_inet.c. This code is now conditionally compiled based
on inet support being compiled into the kernel.
Move socket related MAC Framework entry points from mac_net.c to a new

To do this, some additional _enforce MIB variables are now non-static.
In addition, mbuf_to_label() is now mac_mbuf_to_label() and non-static.

This is the first of two commits; bringing in the kernel support first.
This can be enabled by compiling a kernel with options TCP_SIGNATURE
and FAST_IPSEC.
For the uninitiated, this is a TCP option which provides for a means of
authenticating TCP sessions which came into being before IPSEC. It is
still relevant today, however, as it is used by many commercial router
vendors, particularly with BGP, and as such has become a requirement for
interconnect at many major Internet points of presence.
Several parts of the TCP and IP headers, including the segment payload,
are digested with MD5, including a shared secret. The PF_KEY interface
is used to manage the secrets using security associations in the SADB.
There is a limitation here in that as there is no way to map a TCP flow
per-port back to an SPI without polluting tcpcb or using the SPD; the
code to do the latter is unstable at this time. Therefore this code only
supports per-host keying granularity.
Whilst FAST_IPSEC is mutually exclusive with KAME IPSEC (and thus IPv6),
TCP_SIGNATURE applies only to IPv4. For the vast majority of prospective
users of this feature, this will not pose any problem.
This implementation is output-only; that is, the option is honoured when
responding to a host initiating a TCP session, but no effort is made
[yet] to authenticate inbound traffic. This is, however, sufficient to
interwork with Cisco equipment.
Tested with a Cisco 2501 running IOS 12.0(27), and Quagga 0.96.4 with
local patches. Patches for tcpdump to validate TCP-MD5 sessions are also
available from me upon request.

This driver hasn't compiled for 3 years since the PCI compat shims
were removed, and Lan Media appears to have gone out of business.
These cards appear to be rare (a recent search of ebay had no hits).
Should someone wish to revive this driver, submitting patches to make
it compile plus a testing report will bring it back.

the acpi_cpu(4) driver, to work properly with both SMP and UP kernels.
The exported symbols include mp_ncpus, all_cpus, mp_maxid, smp_started, and
the smp_rendezvous() function. This also means that CPU_ABSENT() is now
always implemented the same on all kernels.

the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.
tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.
It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.

in various kernel objects to represent security data, we embed a
(struct label *) pointer, which now references labels allocated using
a UMA zone (mac_label.c). This allows the size and shape of struct
label to be varied without changing the size and shape of these kernel
objects, which become part of the frozen ABI with 5-STABLE. This opens
the door for boot-time selection of the number of label slots, and hence
changes to the bound on the number of simultaneous labeled policies
at boot-time instead of compile-time. This also makes it easier to
embed label references in new objects as required for locking/caching
with fine-grained network stack locking, such as inpcb structures.
This change also moves us further in the direction of hiding the
structure of kernel objects from MAC policy modules, not to mention
dramatically reducing the number of '&' symbols appearing in both the
MAC Framework and MAC policy modules, and improving readability.
While this results in minimal performance change with MAC enabled, it
will observably shrink the size of a number of critical kernel data
structures for the !MAC case, and should have a small (but measurable)
performance benefit (i.e., struct vnode, struct socket) do to memory
conservation and reduced cost of zeroing memory.
NOTE: Users of MAC must recompile their kernel and all MAC modules as a
result of this change. Because this is an API change, third party
MAC modules will also need to be updated to make less use of the '&'
symbol.

turnstiles to implement blocking isntead of implementing a thread queue
directly. These turnstiles are somewhat similar to those used in Solaris 7
as described in Solaris Internals but are also different.
Turnstiles do not come out of a fixed-sized pool. Rather, each thread is
assigned a turnstile when it is created that it frees when it is destroyed.
When a thread blocks on a lock, it donates its turnstile to that lock to
serve as queue of blocked threads. The queue associated with a given lock
is found by a lookup in a simple hash table. The turnstile itself is
protected by a lock associated with its entry in the hash table. This
means that sched_lock is no longer needed to contest on a mutex. Instead,
sched_lock is only used when manipulating run queues or thread priorities.
Turnstiles also implement priority propagation inherently.
Currently turnstiles only support mutexes. Eventually, however, turnstiles
may grow two queue's to support a non-sleepable reader/writer lock
implementation. For more details, see the comments in sys/turnstile.h and
kern/subr_turnstile.c.
The two primary advantages from the turnstile code include: 1) the size
of struct mutex shrinks by four pointers as it no longer stores the
thread queue linkages directly, and 2) less contention on sched_lock in
SMP systems including the ability for multiple CPUs to contend on different
locks simultaneously (not that this last detail is necessarily that much of
a big win). Note that 1) means that this commit is a kernel ABI breaker,
so don't mix old modules with a new kernel and vice versa.

Though this is still incomplete and has some missing features such as
exclusive login and event notification, it may be enough for someone
who wants to play with it.
This driver is supposed to work with firewire(4), targ(4) of CAM(4)
and scsi_target(8) which can be found in /usr/share/example/scsi_target.
This driver doesn't require sbp(4) which implements initiator mode.
Sample configuration:
Kernel: (you can use modules as well)
device firewire
device scbus
device targ
device sbp_targ
After reboot:
# mdconfig -a -t malloc -s 10m
md0
# scsi_target 0:0:0 /dev/md0
(Assuming sbp_targ0 on scbus0)
You should find the 10MB HDD on FreeBSD/MacOS X/WinXP or whatever connected
to the target using FireWire.

ethernet chips. This driver is pretty simple, however it contains
special DSP initialization code which is needed in order to get
the chip to negotiate a gigE link. (This special initialization
may not be needed in subsequent chip revs.) Also:
- Fix typo in if_rlreg.h (RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MPS -> RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MBPS)
- Deal with shared interrupts in re_intr(): if interface isn't up,
return.
- Fix another bug in re_gmii_writereg() (properly apply data field mask)
- Allow PHY driver to read the RL_GMEDIASTAT register via the
re_gmii_readreg() register (this is register needed to determine
real time link/media status).
written by Stuart Walsh and Duncan Barclay (with some kibbitzing by
me). I'm checking it in on Stuart's behalf.
The BCM4401 is built into several x86 laptop and desktop systems. For the
moment, I have only enabled it in the x86 kernel config because although
it's a PCI device, I haven't heard of any standalone NICs that use it. If
somebody knows of one, we can easily add it to the other arches.
This driver uses register/structure data gleaned from the Linux
driver released by Broadcom, but does not contain any of the code
from the Linux driver itself. It uses busdma.
rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
of what uart(4) is and/or is not see the initial commit log of one
of the files in sys/dev/uart (or see share/man/man4/uart.4).
Note that currently pc98 shares the MD file with i386. This needs
to change when pc98 support is fleshed-out to properly support the
various UARTs. A good example is sparc64 in this respect.
We build uart(4) as a module on all platforms. This may break
the ppc port. That depends on whether they do actually build
modules.
To use uart(4) on alpha, one must use the NO_SIO option.
o Introduce PUC_PORT_TYPE_UART so that we can attach to uart(4),
o Introduce port sub-types (eg PUC_PORT_UART_NS8250, PUC_PORT_UART_Z8530)
to handle different hardware and determine resource sizes.
o Introduce two new IVARs: PUC_IVAR_SUBTYPE and PUC_IVAR_REGSHFT. Both
are used by uart(4) to get sufficient information to talk to the HW.
o Introduce PUC_FLAGS_ALTRES to tell puc(4) to try memory mapped I/O
if I/O port space cannot be allocated, or vice versa.
o Have ports of type PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM attach to uart(1) if attaching
to sio(4) fails (due to not having the sio driver).
o Put struct puc_device_description in struct puc_softc instead of
having a pointer to a device description in the softc. This allows
us to create device descriptions on the fly without having to use
malloc() or otherwise have them staticly defined.
o Move puc_find_description() from puc.c to puc_pci.c as it's specific
to PCI.
o Add EBUS and SBUS frontends for use on sparc64. Note that the P in
puc stands for PCI, so we kinda mess things up here. It's too soon
to worry about it though. We'll know what to do about it in time.
NOTE: This commit changes the behaviour of puc(4) to not quieten the
device probe and attach for child devices. The uart(4) driver provides
additional device description that is valuable to have.
