c5da377e0e Fix a massive couple of botches here: the NVRAM settings
read wasn't flagging the SYNC mode was enabled. The temp
values for offset and sync period were uint8_t, but were
being assigned and shifted from a uint32_t value.

This didn't show up in testing because a random number
of 1030 cards set a bit that says "honor BIOS negotiation",
which means this whole code path was skipped.

This should clear up at least some of the negotation
issues that have been seen.

fa9ed86506 The first of 3 major steps to move the CAM layer forward to using
the CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE that has been in the tree for some years now.

This first step consists solely of adding to or correcting
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE pieces in the kernel source tree such
that a both a GENERIC (at least on i386) and a LINT build
with CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE as an option will compile correctly
and run (at least with some the h/w I have).

After a short settle time, the other pieces (making
CAM_NEW_TRAN_CODE the default and updating libcam
and camcontrol) will be brought in.

This will be an incompatible change in that the size of structures
related to XPT_PATH_INQ and XPT_{GET,SET}_TRAN_SETTINGS change
in both size and content. However, basic system operation and
basic system utilities work well enough with this change.

4542a3798e Connect up a QUEUE FULL event with CAM and adjust openings.
Unfortunately, the QUEUE FULL event only tells you Bus && Target.
It doesn't tell you lun. In order for the XPT_REL_SIMQ action to
work, we have to have a real lun. But which one? For now, just
iterate over MPT_MAX_LUNS.

Practically speaking, this is only going to be happening for lower
quality SAS or SATA drives behind the SAS controller, which means
only lun 0, so it's not so bad.

a7303be1a8 Create a 'ready' handler for each personality. The purpose of this handler
is to able to be called after *all* attach and enable events are done.

We establish a SYSINIT hook to call this handler. The current usage for it
is to add scsi target resources *after* all enables are done. There seems
to be some dependencies between different halves of a dual-port with respect
to target mode.

Put in more meaningful event messages for some events- in particular
QUEUE FULL events so we can see what the queue depth was when the
IOC sent us this message.

1dad8bb0ba When probing to attach the CAM functionality, check against
desired role configuration instead of existing role. This gets
us out of the mess where we configured a role of NONE (or were
LAN only, for example), but didn't continue to attach the CAM
module (because we had neither initiator nor target role
set). Unfortunately, the code that rewrites NVRAM to match
actual to desired role only works if the CAM module attaches.

b4c618c099 Fix config page writes to not strip out the attributes when you
actually go write the config page. This fixes the long standing
problem about updating NVRAM on Fibre Channel cards and seems
so far to not break SPI config page writes.

Put back role setting into mpt. That is, you can set a desired role
for mpt as a hint. On the next reboot, it'll pick that up and redo
the NVRAM settings appropriately and warn you that this won't take
effect until the next reboot. This saves people the step of having
to find a BIOS utilities disk to set target and/or initiator role
for the MPT cards.

800d362b5d + Change some debug messages to MPT_PRT_NEGOTIATE level (so we
can see the results of SPI negotiation w/o being overwhelmed
with other crap).

+ For U320 devices, check against both Settings *and* DV flags before
deciding whether we need to skip actual SPI settings for a device.

+ Go back to creating a 'physical disk' side of a raid/passthru bus that
is limited to the number of maximum physical disks. Actually, this isn't
probably *quite* right yet for one RAID volume, and if we ever end up
with finding a device that supports more than one RAID volume (not likely),
it probably won't quite be right either.

The problem here is that the creating of this 'physical' passthru sim is
just a cheap way to leverage off the CAM midlayer to do our negotiation
for us on the subentities that make up a RAID volume. It almost causes
more trouble than it is worth because we have to remember which side
we're talking to in terms of forming commands and which target ids are
real and so on. Bleah.

+ Skip trying to actually do SPI settings for the RAID volumes on the
real side of the raid/passthru bus pair- this just confuses the issue.
The underlying real physical devices will have the negotiation performed
and the Raid volume will inherit the resultant settings. At the sime time,
non-RAID devices can be on the same real bus, so *do* perform negotiations
with them.

+ At the end of doing all of the settings twiddling, *ahem*, remember to
go update the settings on the card itself (dunno how this got nuked).

At this point, negotiations *seem* to be being done (again) correctly for
both RAID volumes and their subentities. And they seem to be *mostly*
now right for other non-RAID entities on the same bus (I ended up with
3 out of 8 other disks still at narror/async- haven't the slightest
idea why yes).

Finally, negotiations on a normal bus seem to work (again).

There's still more work coming into this area, but we're in the
final stretch.

5089bd63bd A large set of changes:
+ Add boatloads of KASSERTs and *really* check out more locking
issues (to catch recursions when we actually go to real locking
in CAM soon). The KASSERTs also caught lots of other issues like
using commands that were put back on free lists, etc.

+ Target mode: role setting is derived directly from port capabilities.
There is no need to set a role any more. Some target mode resources
are allocated early on (ELS), but target command buffer allocation
is deferred until the first lun enable.

+ Fix some breakages I introduced with target mode in that some commands
are *repeating* commands. That is, the reply shows up but the command
isn't really done (we don't free it). We still need to take it off the
pending list because when we resubmit it, bad things then  happen.

+ Fix more of the way that timed out commands and bus reset is done. The
actual TMF response code was being ignored.

+ For SPI, honor BIOS settings. This doesn't quite fix the problems we've
seen where we can't seem to (re)negotiate U320 on all drives but avoids
it instead by letting us honor the BIOS settings. I'm sure this is not
quite right and will have to change again soon.

5e073106d5 Fix some of the previus changes 'better'.
There's something strange going on with async events. They seem
to be be treated differently for different Fusion implementations.
Some will really tell you when it's okay to free the request that
started them.  Some won't. Very disconcerting.

This is particularily bad when the chip (FC in this case) tells you
in the reply that it's not a continuation reply, which means you
can free the request that its associated with. However, if you do
that, I've found that additional async event replies come back for
that message context after you freed it. Very Bad Things Happen.

Put in a reply register debounce. Warn about out of range context
indices. Use more MPILIB defines where possible. Replace bzero with
memset. Add tons more KASSERTS. Do a *lot* more request free list
auditting and serial number usages. Get rid of the warning about
the short IOC Facts Reply.  Go back to 16 bits of context index.

Do a lot more target state auditting as well. Make a tag out
of not only the ioindex but the request index as well and worry
less about keeping a full serial number.

c87e3f833c Some fairly major changes to this driver.
A) Fibre Channel Target Mode support mostly works
(SAS/SPI won't be too far behind). I'd say that
this probably works just about as well as isp(4)
does right now. Still, it and isp(4) and the whole
target mode stack need a bit of tightening.

B) The startup sequence has been changed so that
after all attaches are done, a set of enable functions
are called. The idea here is that the attaches do
whatever needs to be done *prior* to a port being
enabled and the enables do what need to be done for
enabling stuff for a port after it's been enabled.

This means that we also have events handled by their
proper handlers as we start up.

C) Conditional code that means that this driver goes
back all the way to RELENG_4 in terms of support.

D) Quite a lot of little nitty bug fixes- some discovered
by doing RELENG_4 support. We've been living under Giant
*waaaayyyyy* too long and it's made some of us (me) sloppy.

E) Some shutdown hook stuff that makes sure we don't blow
up during a reboot (like by the arrival of a new command
from an initiator).

There's been some testing and LINT checking, but not as
complete as would be liked. Regression testing with Fusion
RAID instances has not been possible. Caveat Emptor.

29ae59edff Fix mpt_reset to try mpt_hard_reset more than once, and to try
mpt_soft_reset more than once. And to wait for MPT_DB_STATE_READY
twice. I mean, this is crucial- give the IOC a chance to get
ready.

If mpt_reset is called to reinit things, and we succeed, make
sure to re-enable interrupts. This is what has mostly led to
system lockup after having to hard reset the chip. Also, if
we think that interrupts aren't function in mpt_cam_timeout,
for goodness sake, turn them on again.

In read_cfg_header, return distinguishing errnos so the caller
can decide what's an error. It's *not* an error to fail to
read a RAID page from a non-RAID capable device like the FC929X.

Detailed Changes
================
mpt.c mpt_cam.c mpt_raid.c mpt_pci.c:
o Add support for personality modules.  Each module exports
  load, and unload module scope methods as well as probe, attach,
  event, reset, shutdown, and detach  per-device instance
  methods

mpt.c mpt.h mpt_pci.c:
o The driver now associates a callback function (via an
  index) with every transaction submitted to the controller.
  This allows the main interrupt handler to absolve itself
  of any knowledge of individual transaction/response types
  by simply calling the callback function "registered" for
  the transaction.  We use a callback index instead of a
  callback function pointer in each requests so we can
  properly handle responses (e.g. event notifications)
  that are not associated with a transaction.  Personality
  modules dynamically register their callbacks with the
  driver core to receive the callback index to use for their
  handlers.

o Move the interrupt handler into mpt.c.  The ISR algorithm
  is bus transport and OS independent and thus had no reason
  to be in mpt_pci.c.

o Simplify configuration message reply handling by copying
  reply frame data for the requester and storing completion
  status in the original request structure.

o Add the mpt_complete_request_chain() helper method and use
  it to implement reset handlers that must abort transactions.

o Keep track of all pending requests on the new
  requests_pending_list in the softc.

o Add default handlers to mpt.c to handle generic event
  notifications and controller reset activities.  The event
  handler code is largely the same as in the original driver.
  The reset handler is new and terminates any pending transactions
  with a status code indicating the controller needs to be
  re-initialized.

o Add some endian support to the driver.  A complete audit is
  still required for this driver to have any hope of operating
  in a big-endian environment.

o Use inttypes.h and __inline.  Come closer to being style(9)
  compliant.

o Remove extraneous use of typedefs.

o Convert request state from a strict enumeration to a series
  of flags.  This allows us to, for example, tag transactions
  that have timed-out while retaining the state that the
  transaction is still in-flight on the controller.

o Add mpt_wait_req() which allows a caller to poll or sleep
  for the completion of a request.  Use this to simplify
  and factor code out from many initialization routines.
  We also use this to sleep for task management request
  completions in our CAM timeout handler.

mpt.c:
o Correct a bug in the event handler where request structures were
  freed even if the request reply was marked as a continuation
  reply. Continuation replies indicate that the controller still owns
  the request and freeing these replies prematurely corrupted
  controller state.

o Implement firmware upload and download. On controllers that do
  not have dedicated NVRAM (as in the Sun v20/v40z), the firmware
  image is downloaded to the controller by the system BIOS. This
  image occupies precious controller RAM space until the host driver
  fetches the image, reducing the number of concurrent I/Os the
  controller can processes. The uploaded image is used to
  re-program the controller during hard reset events since the
  controller cannot fetch the firmware on its own. Implementing this
  feature allows much higher queue depths when RAID volumes
  are configured.

o Changed configuration page accessors to allow threads to sleep
  rather than busy wait for completion.

o Removed hard coded data transfer sizes from configuration page
  routines so that RAID configuration page processing is possible.

mpt_reg.h:
o Move controller register definitions into a separate file.

mpt.h:
o Re-arrange includes to allow inlined functions to be
  defined in mpt.h.

o Add reply, event, and reset handler definitions.

o Add softc fields for handling timeout and controller
  reset recovery.

mpt_cam.c:
o Move mpt_freebsd.c to mpt_cam.c.  Move all core functionality,
  such as event handling, into mpt.c leaving only CAM SCSI
  support here.

o Revamp completion handler to provide correct CAM status for
  all currently defined SCSI MPI message result codes.

o Register event and reset handlers with the MPT core.  Modify
  the event handler to notify CAM of bus reset events.  The
  controller reset handler will abort any transactions that
  have timed out.  All other pending CAM transactions are
  correctly aborted by the core driver's reset handler.

o Allocate a single request up front to perform task management
  operations.  This guarantees that we can always perform a
  TMF operation even when the controller is saturated with other
  operations.  The single request also serves as a perfect
  mechanism of guaranteeing that only a single TMF is in flight
  at a time - something that is required according to the MPT
  Fusion documentation.

o Add a helper function for issuing task management requests
  to the controller.  This is used to abort individual requests
  or perform a bus reset.

o Modify the CAM XPT_BUS_RESET ccb handler to wait for and
  properly handle the status of the bus reset task management
  frame used to reset the bus.  The previous code assumed that
  the reset request would always succeed.

o Add timeout recovery support.  When a timeout occurs, the
  timed-out request is added to a queue to be processed by
  our recovery thread and the thread is woken up.  The recovery
  thread processes timed-out command serially, attempting first
  to abort them and then falling back to a bus reset if an
  abort fails.

o Add calls to mpt_reset() to reset the controller if any
  handshake command, bus reset attempt or abort attempt
  fails due to a timeout.

o Export a secondary "bus" to CAM that exposes all volume drive
  members as pass-thru devices, allowing CAM to perform proper
  speed negotiation to hidden devices.

o Add a CAM async event handler tracking the AC_FOUND_DEVICE event.
  Use this to trigger calls to set the per-volume queue depth once
  the volume is fully registered with CAM. This is required to avoid
  hitting firmware limits on volume queue depth.  Exceeding the
  limit causes the firmware to hang.

mpt_cam.h:
o Add several helper functions for interfacing to CAM and
  performing timeout recovery.

mpt_pci.c:
o Disable interrupts on the controller before registering and
  enabling interrupt delivery to the OS.  Otherwise we risk
  receiving interrupts before the driver is ready to receive
  them.

o Make use of compatibility macros that allow the driver to
  be compiled under 4.x and 5.x.

mpt_raid.c:
o Add a per-controller instance RAID thread to perform settings
   changes and query status (minimizes CPU busy wait loops).

o Use a shutdown handler to disable "Member Write Cache Enable"
  (MWCE) setting for RAID arrays set to enable MWCE During Rebuild.

o Change reply handler function signature to allow handlers to defer
  the deletion of reply frames. Use this to allow the event reply
  handler to queue up events that need to be acked if no resources
  are available to immediately ack an event. Queued events are
  processed in mpt_free_request() where resources are freed. This
  avoids a panic on resource shortage.

o Parse and print out RAID controller capabilities during driver probe.

o Define, allocate, and maintain RAID data structures for volumes,
  hidden member physical disks and spare disks.

o Add dynamic sysctls for per-instance setting of the log level, array
  resync rate, array member cache enable, and volume queue depth.

mpt_debug.c:
o Add mpt_lprt and mpt_lprtc for printing diagnostics conditioned on
  a particular log level to aid in tracking down driver issues.

o Add mpt_decode_value() which parses the bits in an integer
  value based on a parsing table (mask, value, name string, tuples).

mpilib/*:
o Update mpi library header files to latest distribution from LSI.
