in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

sys/dev/xen/timer/timer.c:
- Register a PV timer device driver which (currently)
implements device_{identify,probe,attach} and stubs
device_detach. The detach routine requires functionality
not provided by timecounters(4). The suspend and resume
routines need additional work (due to Xen requiring that
the hypercalls be executed on the target VCPU), and aren't
needed for our purposes.
- Make sure there can only be one device instance of this
driver, and that it only registers one eventtimers(4) and
one timecounters(4) device interface. Make both interfaces
use PCPU data as needed.
- Match, with a few style cleanups & API differences, the
Xen versions of the "fetch time" functions.
- Document the magic scale_delta() better for the i386 version.
- When registering the event timer, bind a separate event
channel for the timer VIRQ to the device's event timer
interrupt handler for each active VCPU. Describe each
interrupt as "xen_et:c%d", so they can be identified per
CPU in "vmstat -i" or "show intrcnt" in KDB.
- When scheduling a timer into the hypervisor, try up to
60 times if the hypervisor rejects the time as being in
the past. In the common case, this retry shouldn't happen,
and if it does, it should only happen once. This is
because the event timer advertises a minimum period of
100usec, which is only less than the usual hypercall round
trip time about 1 out of every 100 tries. (Unlike other
similar drivers, this one actually checks whether the
hypervisor accepted the singleshot timer set hypercall.)
- Implement a RTC PV clock based on the hypervisor wallclock.

Re-structure Xen HVM support so that:
- Xen is detected and hypercalls can be performed very
early in system startup.
- Xen interrupt services are implemented using FreeBSD's native
interrupt delivery infrastructure.
- the Xen interrupt service implementation is shared between PV
and HVM guests.
- Xen interrupt handlers can optionally use a filter handler
in order to avoid the overhead of dispatch to an interrupt
thread.
- interrupt load can be distributed among all available CPUs.
- the overhead of accessing the emulated local and I/O apics
on HVM is removed for event channel port events.
- a similar optimization can eventually, and fairly easily,
be used to optimize MSI.

at this time.
In addition to extents we also support the huge_file extension
for read-only purposes. This works nicely with the additional
support for birthtime/nanosec timestamps and dir_index that
have been added lately.
The implementation may not work for all ext4 filesystems as
it doesn't support some features that are being enabled by
default on recent linux like flex_bg. Nevertheless, the feature
should be very useful for migration or simple access in
filesystems that have been converted from ext2/3 or don't use
incompatible features.

all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.
Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.
There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.

information into the ISN (initial sequence number) without the additional
use of timestamp bits and switching to the very fast and cryptographically
strong SipHash-2-4 MAC hash algorithm to protect the SYN cookie against
forgeries.
The purpose of SYN cookies is to encode all necessary session state in
the 32 bits of our initial sequence number to avoid storing any information
locally in memory. This is especially important when under heavy spoofed
SYN attacks where we would either run out of memory or the syncache would
fill with bogus connection attempts swamping out legitimate connections.
The original SYN cookies method only stored an indexed MSS values in the
cookie. This isn't sufficient anymore and breaks down in the presence of
WSCALE information which is only exchanged during SYN and SYN-ACK. If we
can't keep track of it then we may severely underestimate the available
send or receive window. This is compounded with large windows whose size
information on the TCP segment header is even lower numerically. A number
of years back SYN cookies were extended to store the additional state in
the TCP timestamp fields, if available on a connection. While timestamps
are common among the BSD, Linux and other *nix systems Windows never enabled
them by default and thus are not present for the vast majority of clients
seen on the Internet.
The common parameters used on TCP sessions have changed quite a bit since
SYN cookies very invented some 17 years ago. Today we have a lot more
bandwidth available making the use window scaling almost mandatory. Also
SACK has become standard making recovering from packet loss much more
efficient.
This change moves all necessary information into the ISS removing the need
for timestamps. Both the MSS (16 bits) and send WSCALE (4 bits) are stored
in 3 bit indexed form together with a single bit for SACK. While this is
significantly less than the original range, it is sufficient to encode all
common values with minimal rounding.
The MSS depends on the MTU of the path and with the dominance of ethernet
the main value seen is around 1460 bytes. Encapsulations for DSL lines
and some other overheads reduce it by a few more bytes for many connections
seen. Rounding down to the next lower value in some cases isn't a problem
as we send only slightly more packets for the same amount of data.
The send WSCALE index is bit more tricky as rounding down under-estimates
the available send space available towards the remote host, however a small
number values dominate and are carefully selected again.
The receive WSCALE isn't encoded at all but recalculated based on the local
receive socket buffer size when a valid SYN cookie returns. A listen socket
buffer size is unlikely to change while active.
The index values for MSS and WSCALE are selected for minimal rounding errors
based on large traffic surveys. These values have to be periodically
validated against newer traffic surveys adjusting the arrays tcp_sc_msstab[]
and tcp_sc_wstab[] if necessary.
In addition the hash MAC to protect the SYN cookies is changed from MD5
to SipHash-2-4, a much faster and cryptographically secure algorithm.

net/urtwn-firmware-kmod.
Hiren ported the urtwn(4) man page from OpenBSD and Glen just commited a port
for the firmware.
TODO:
- 802.11n support
- Stability fixes - the driver can sustain lots of traffic but has trouble

for the WB195 combo NIC - an AR9285 w/ an AR3011 USB bluetooth NIC.
The AR3011 is wired up using a 3-wire coexistence scheme to the AR9285.
The code in if_ath_btcoex.c sets up the initial hardware mapping
and coexistence configuration. There's nothing special about it -
it's static; it doesn't try to configure bluetooth / MAC traffic priorities
or try to figure out what's actually going on. It's enough to stop basic
bluetooth traffic from causing traffic stalls and diassociation from
the wireless network.
To use this code, you must have the above NIC. No, it won't work
for the AR9287+AR3012, nor the AR9485, AR9462 or AR955x combo cards.
Then you set a kernel hint before boot or before kldload, where 'X'
is the unit number of your AR9285 NIC:
# kenv hint.ath.X.btcoex_profile=wb195
This will then appear in your boot messages:
[100482] athX: Enabling WB195 BTCOEX
This code is going to evolve pretty quickly (well, depending upon my
spare time) so don't assume the btcoex API is going to stay stable.
In order to use the bluetooth side, you must also load in firmware using
ath3kfw and the binary firmware file (ath3k-1.fw in my case.)
Tested:
* AR9280, no interference
* WB195 - AR9285 + AR3011 combo; STA mode; basic bluetooth inquiries
were enough to cause traffic stalls and disassociations. This has
stopped with the btcoex profile code.
TODO:
* Importantly - the AR9285 needs ASPM disabled if bluetooth coexistence
is enabled. No, I don't know why. It's likely some kind of bug to do
with the AR3011 sending bluetooth coexistence signals whilst the device
is asleep. Since we don't actually sleep the MAC just yet, it shouldn't
be a problem. That said, to be totally correct:
+ ASPM should be disabled - upon attach and wakeup
+ The PCIe powersave HAL code should never be called
Look at what the ath9k driver does for inspiration.
* Add WB197 (AR9287+AR3012) support
* Add support for the AR9485, which is another combo like the AR9285
* The later NICs have a different signaling mechanism between the MAC
and the bluetooth device; I haven't even begun to experiment with
making that HAL code work. But it should be a lot more automatic.
* The hardware can do much more interesting traffic weighting with
bluetooth and wifi traffic. None of this is currently used.
Ideally someone would code up something to watch the bluetooth traffic
GPIO (via an interrupt) and then watch it go high/low; then figure out
what the bluetooth traffic is and adjust things appropriately.
* If I get the time I may add in some code to at least track this stuff
and expose statistics. But it's up to someone else to experiment with
the bluetooth coexistence support and add the interesting stuff (like
"real" detection of bulk, audio, etc bluetooth traffic patterns and
change wifi parameters appropriately - eg, maximum aggregate length,
transmit power, using quiet time to control TX duty cycle, etc.)

3. Common x86_init_fdt() called from hammer_time() on amd64 and
init386() on i386.
4. Split-off FDT specific low-level console functions from FDT
bus methods for the uart(4) driver. The low-level console
logic has been moved to uart_cpu_fdt.c and is used for arm,
mips & powerpc only. The FDT bus methods are shared across
all architectures.
5. Add dev/fdt/fdt_x86.c to hold the fdt_fixup_table[] and the
fdt_pic_table[] arrays. Both are empty right now.
FDT addresses are I/O ports on x86. Since the core FDT code does
not handle different address spaces, adding support for both I/O
ports and memory addresses requires some thought and discussion.
It may be better to use a compile-time option that controls this.

it will work with either the old or new server.
The FHA code keeps a cache of currently active file handles for
NFSv2 and v3 requests, so that read and write requests for the same
file are directed to the same group of threads (reads) or thread
(writes). It does not currently work for NFSv4 requests. They are
more complex, and will take more work to support.
This improves read-ahead performance, especially with ZFS, if the
FHA tuning parameters are configured appropriately. Without the
FHA code, concurrent reads that are part of a sequential read from
a file will be directed to separate NFS threads. This has the
effect of confusing the ZFS zfetch (prefetch) code and makes
sequential reads significantly slower with clients like Linux that
do a lot of prefetching.
The FHA code has also been updated to direct write requests to nearby
file offsets to the same thread in the same way it batches reads,
and the FHA code will now also send writes to multiple threads when
needed.
This improves sequential write performance in ZFS, because writes
to a file are now more ordered. Since NFS writes (generally
less than 64K) are smaller than the typical ZFS record size
(usually 128K), out of order NFS writes to the same block can
trigger a read in ZFS. Sending them down the same thread increases
the odds of their being in order.
In order for multiple write threads per file in the FHA code to be
useful, writes in the NFS server have been changed to use a LK_SHARED
vnode lock, and upgrade that to LK_EXCLUSIVE if the filesystem
doesn't allow multiple writers to a file at once. ZFS is currently
the only filesystem that allows multiple writers to a file, because
it has internal file range locking. This change does not affect the
NFSv4 code.
This improves random write performance to a single file in ZFS, since
we can now have multiple writers inside ZFS at one time.
I have changed the default tuning parameters to a 22 bit (4MB)
window size (from 256K) and unlimited commands per thread as a
result of my benchmarking with ZFS.
The FHA code has been updated to allow configuring the tuning
parameters from loader tunable variables in addition to sysctl
variables. The read offset window calculation has been slightly
modified as well. Instead of having separate bins, each file
handle has a rolling window of bin_shift size. This minimizes
glitches in throughput when shifting from one bin to another.
sys/conf/files:
Add nfs_fha_new.c and nfs_fha_old.c. Compile nfs_fha.c
when either the old or the new NFS server is built.

sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_nfsdsocket.c:
In nfsrvd_dorpc(), add NFSPROC_WRITE to the list of RPC types
that use the LK_SHARED lock type.
sys/fs/nfsserver/nfs_nfsdport.c:
In nfsd_fhtovp(), if we're starting a write, check to see
whether the underlying filesystem supports shared writes.
If not, upgrade the lock type from LK_SHARED to LK_EXCLUSIVE.
sys/nfsserver/nfs_fha.c:
Remove all code that is specific to the NFS server
implementation. Anything that is server-specific is now
accessed through a callback supplied by that server's FHA
shim in the new softc.
There are now separate sysctls and tunables for the FHA
implementations for the old and new NFS servers. The new
NFS server has its tunables under vfs.nfsd.fha, the old
NFS server's tunables are under vfs.nfsrv.fha as before.
In fha_extract_info(), use callouts for all server-specific
code. Getting file handles and offsets is now done in the
individual server's shim module.
In fha_hash_entry_choose_thread(), change the way we decide
whether two reads are in proximity to each other.
Previously, the calculation was a simple shift operation to
see whether the offsets were in the same power of 2 bucket.
The issue was that there would be a bucket (and therefore
thread) transition, even if the reads were in close
proximity. When there is a thread transition, reads wind
up going somewhat out of order, and ZFS gets confused.
The new calculation simply tries to see whether the offsets
are within 1 << bin_shift of each other. If they are, the
reads will be sent to the same thread.
The effect of this change is that for sequential reads, if
the client doesn't exceed the max_reqs_per_nfsd parameter
and the bin_shift is set to a reasonable value (22, or
4MB works well in my tests), the reads in any sequential
stream will largely be confined to a single thread.
Change fha_assign() so that it takes a softc argument. It
is now called from the individual server's shim code, which
will pass in the softc.
Change fhe_stats_sysctl() so that it takes a softc
parameter. It is now called from the individual server's
shim code. Add the current offset to the list of things
printed out about each active thread.
Change the num_reads and num_writes counters in the
fha_hash_entry structure to 32-bit values, and rename them
num_rw and num_exclusive, respectively, to reflect their
changed usage.
Add an enable sysctl and tunable that allows the user to
disable the FHA code (when vfs.XXX.fha.enable = 0). This
is useful for before/after performance comparisons.
nfs_fha.h:
Move most structure definitions out of nfs_fha.c and into
the header file, so that the individual server shims can
see them.
Change the default bin_shift to 22 (4MB) instead of 18
(256K). Allow unlimited commands per thread.
