bd1ed65f0f Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

44c01df173 Fix undefined behavior: (1 << 31) is not defined as 1 is an int and this
shifts into the sign bit.  Instead use (1U << 31) which gets the
expected result.

This fix is not ideal as it assumes a 32 bit int, but does fix the issue
for most cases.

A similar change was made in OpenBSD.

a0627f2e3f Add a helper routine to conditionally modify the start address of a
resource allocation from an x86 Host-PCI bridge driver so that it can be
reused by the ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver (and eventually the MPTable
Host-PCI bridge driver) instead of duplicating the same logic.  Note that
this means that hw.acpi.host_mem_start is now replaced with the
hw.pci.host_mem_start tunable that was already used in the non-ACPI case.
This also removes hw.acpi.host_mem_start on ia64 where it was not
applicable (the implementation was very x86-specific).

While here, adjust the logic to apply the new start address on any
"wildcard" allocation even if that allocation comes from a subset of
the allowable address range.

51bd96b572 Reimplement how PCI-PCI bridges manage their I/O windows. Previously the
driver would verify that requests for child devices were confined to any
existing I/O windows, but the driver relied on the firmware to initialize
the windows and would never grow the windows for new requests.  Now the
driver actively manages the I/O windows.

This is implemented by allocating a bus resource for each I/O window from
the parent PCI bus and suballocating that resource to child devices.  The
suballocations are managed by creating an rman for each I/O window.  The
suballocated resources are mapped by passing the bus_activate_resource()
call up to the parent PCI bus.  Windows are grown when needed by using
bus_adjust_resource() to adjust the resource allocated from the parent PCI
bus.  If the adjust request succeeds, the window is adjusted and the
suballocation request for the child device is retried.

When growing a window, the rman_first_free_region() and
rman_last_free_region() routines are used to determine if the front or
end of the existing I/O window is free.  From using that, the smallest
ranges that need to be added to either the front or back of the window
are computed.  The driver will first try to grow the window in whichever
direction requires the smallest growth first followed by the other
direction if that fails.

Subtractive bridges will first attempt to satisfy requests for child
resources from I/O windows (including attempts to grow the windows).  If
that fails, the request is passed up to the parent PCI bus directly
however.

The PCI-PCI bridge driver will try to use firmware-assigned ranges for
child BARs first and only allocate a "fresh" range if that specific range
cannot be accommodated in the I/O window.  This allows systems where the
firmware assigns resources during boot but later wipes the I/O windows
(some ACPI BIOSen are known to do this) to "rediscover" the original I/O
window ranges.

The ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver has been adjusted to correctly honor
hw.acpi.host_mem_start and the I/O port equivalent when a PCI-PCI bridge
makes a wildcard request for an I/O window range.

The new PCI-PCI bridge driver is only enabled if the NEW_PCIB kernel option
is enabled.  This is a transition aide to allow platforms that do not
yet support bus_activate_resource() and bus_adjust_resource() in their
Host-PCI bridge drivers (and possibly other drivers as needed) to use the
old driver for now.  Once all platforms support the new driver, the
kernel option and old driver will be removed.

  arguments rather than global variables.
- Add a notion of minimum and maximum bus numbers and reject requests for

- Add more range checks on slot/func/reg/bytes parameters to the cfg reg
  read/write routines.  Don't panic on any invalid parameters, just fail
  the request (writes do nothing, reads return -1).  This matches the
  behavior of the other cfg mechanisms.
- Port the memory mapped configuration space access to amd64.  On amd64
  we simply use the direct map (via pmap_mapdev()) for the memory mapped
  window.
- During acpi_attach() just after loading the ACPI tables, check for a
  MCFG table.  If it exists, call pciereg_cfgopen() on each subtable
  (memory mapped window).  For now we only support windows for domain 0
  that start with bus 0.  This removes the need for more chipset-specific

  newer machines leave garbage in 0xcf8 during boot and as a result the

d60b8a3096 Make the PCI code aware of PCI domains (aka PCI segments) so we can
support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains
and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the
devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings.
This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works
like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument
and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the
only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are
changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order
to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and
dupe devices in the same domain respectively.
Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to
actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others
continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as
appropriate later on.
Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used
by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h>
potentially need to be recompiled.

ef27a04299 Revamp the MSI/MSI-X code a bit to achieve two main goals:
- Simplify the amount of work that has be done for each architecture by
  pushing more of the truly MI code down into the PCI bus driver.
- Don't bind MSI-X indicies to IRQs so that we can allow a driver to map
  multiple MSI-X messages into a single IRQ when handling a message
  shortage.

The changes include:
- Add a new pcib_if method: PCIB_MAP_MSI() which is called by the PCI bus
  to calculate the address and data values for a given MSI/MSI-X IRQ.
  The x86 nexus drivers map this into a call to a new 'msi_map()' function
  in msi.c that does the mapping.
- Retire the pcib_if method PCIB_REMAP_MSIX() and remove the 'index'
  parameter from PCIB_ALLOC_MSIX().  MD code no longer has any knowledge
  of the MSI-X index for a given MSI-X IRQ.
- The PCI bus driver now stores more MSI-X state in a child's ivars.
  Specifically, it now stores an array of IRQs (called "message vectors" in
  the code) that have associated address and data values, and a small
  virtual version of the MSI-X table that specifies the message vector
  that a given MSI-X table entry uses.  Sparse mappings are permitted in
  the virtual table.
- The PCI bus driver now configures the MSI and MSI-X address/data
  registers directly via custom bus_setup_intr() and bus_teardown_intr()
  methods.  pci_setup_intr() invokes PCIB_MAP_MSI() to determine the
  address and data values for a given message as needed.  The MD code
  no longer has to call back down into the PCI bus code to set these
  values from the nexus' bus_setup_intr() handler.
- The PCI bus code provides a callout (pci_remap_msi_irq()) that the MD
  code can call to force the PCI bus to re-invoke PCIB_MAP_MSI() to get
  new values of the address and data fields for a given IRQ.  The x86
  MSI code uses this when an MSI IRQ is moved to a different CPU, requiring
  a new value of the 'address' field.
- The x86 MSI psuedo-driver loses a lot of code, and in fact the separate
  MSI/MSI-X pseudo-PICs are collapsed down into a single MSI PIC driver
  since the only remaining diff between the two is a substring in a
  bootverbose printf.
- The PCI bus driver will now restore MSI-X state (including programming
  entries in the MSI-X table) on device resume.
- The interface for pci_remap_msix() has changed.  Instead of accepting
  indices for the allocated vectors, it accepts a mini-virtual table
  (with a new length parameter).  This table is an array of u_ints, where
  each value specifies which allocated message vector to use for the
  corresponding MSI-X message.  A vector of 0 forces a message to not
  have an associated IRQ.  The device may choose to only use some of the
  IRQs assigned, in which case the unused IRQs must be at the "end" and
  will be released back to the system.  This allows a driver to use the
  same remap table for different shortage values.  For example, if a driver
  wants 4 messages, it can use the same remap table (which only uses the
  first two messages) for the cases when it only gets 2 or 3 messages and
  in the latter case the PCI bus will release the 3rd IRQ back to the
  system.

3624354c54 Expand the MSI/MSI-X API to address some deficiencies in the MSI-X support.
- First off, device drivers really do need to know if they are allocating
  MSI or MSI-X messages.  MSI requires allocating powerof2() messages for
  example where MSI-X does not.  To address this, split out the MSI-X
  support from pci_msi_count() and pci_alloc_msi() into new driver-visible
  functions pci_msix_count() and pci_alloc_msix().  As a result,
  pci_msi_count() now just returns a count of the max supported MSI
  messages for the device, and pci_alloc_msi() only tries to allocate MSI
  messages.  To get a count of the max supported MSI-X messages, use
  pci_msix_count().  To allocate MSI-X messages, use pci_alloc_msix().
  pci_release_msi() still handles both MSI and MSI-X messages, however.
  As a result of this change, drivers using the existing API will only
  use MSI messages and will no longer try to use MSI-X messages.
- Because MSI-X allows for each message to have its own data and address
  values (and thus does not require all of the messages to have their
  MD vectors allocated as a group), some devices allow for "sparse" use
  of MSI-X message slots.  For example, if a device supports 8 messages
  but the OS is only able to allocate 2 messages, the device may make the
  best use of 2 IRQs if it enables the messages at slots 1 and 4 rather
  than default of using the first N slots (or indicies) at 1 and 2.  To
  support this, add a new pci_remap_msix() function that a driver may call
  after a successful pci_alloc_msix() (but before allocating any of the
  SYS_RES_IRQ resources) to allow the allocated IRQ resources to be
  assigned to different message indices.  For example, from the earlier
  example, after pci_alloc_msix() returned a value of 2, the driver would
  call pci_remap_msix() passing in array of integers { 1, 4 } as the
  new message indices to use.  The rid's for the SYS_RES_IRQ resources
  will always match the message indices.  Thus, after the call to
  pci_remap_msix() the driver would be able to access the first message
  in slot 1 at SYS_RES_IRQ rid 1, and the second message at slot 4 at
  SYS_RES_IRQ rid 4.  Note that the message slots/indices are 1-based
  rather than 0-based so that they will always correspond to the rid
  values (SYS_RES_IRQ rid 0 is reserved for the legacy INTx interrupt).
  To support this API, a new PCIB_REMAP_MSIX() method was added to the
  pcib interface to change the message index for a single IRQ.

- Add a new PCIM_HDRTYPE constant for the field in PCIR_HDRTYPE that holds
  the header type.
- Replace several magic numbers with appropriate constants for the header
  type register and a couple of PCI_FUNCMAX.
- Merge to amd64 the fix to the i386 bridge code to skip devices with
  unknown header types.

18625a197e Prefer new location of pci include files (which have only been in the
tree for two or more years now), except in a few places where there's
code to be compatible with older versions of FreeBSD.

45949ccde1 Commit MD parts of a loosely functional AMD64 port. This is based on
a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to
attempt to get a stable base to start from.  There is a lot missing still.
Worth noting:
- The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code.  pmap uses
  a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4
  levels of page tables yet.
- It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the
  i386 loader.  This simplifies locore.s greatly.
- There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have
  not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C
  versions of (bcopy etc).
- It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument
  passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction
  for syscalls.  int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not.
- I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple
  of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed
  %rcx register in the syscall instruction).  As a result, there is not a
  lot of similarity.  I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to
  get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.
