matching 'compatible' property. This probably has a short half-life (as
do most of the fdt_ functions), but it helps solve some near-term needs
until we work out the larger problems of device instantiation order
versus the order of things in the fdt data.
If the hardware is not in a good state (like maybe clocks aren't running
because of a configuration glitch) its timeout clock may also not work
correctly, and the next command sent will hang that thread forever. The
thread in question is usually the one and only thread (at init time) or
a bio queue worker thread whose lockup will eventually lead to the whole
system locking up when it runs out of buffers.
No sd card command should take longer than 250ms. This new code establishes
a 1-second timeout to allow plenty of safety margin over that.
Normally it never needs to wait here at all; waiting is done at the end
of the prior command. When doing a crash dump, the normal interrupt
mechanism isn't used; instead the interrupt handler is called repeatedly
in a polling-like manner. This can subvert hardware-specific drivers
and lead to trying to start a new command while the previous command is
still busy on the bus. Since the SD spec says the longest a card can
take to execute any command is 250ms, use that as a timeout.
Attempt to demote the superpage if trying to pmap_enter() on
one. Panic only when the particular superpage should
no longer exist for that pmap and address.
Because pmap_enter_locked() is called from few different functions
some redundancy in superpage promotion attempts can be observed.
Hence, avoid promotion in pmap_enter_object() (if the object can
be mapped by superpage it will be handled by pmap_enter_object()
itself) and also do not waste time in pmap_enter_quick().
From now on the promotion will be performed only in pmap_enter().
It was possible to create RW superpage mapping even if
the base pages were RO due to wrong setting of the prot
flag passed to pmap_map_section().
Promotion attempt should be canceled in case of attributes
mismatch between any two base pages. Since we still use
pv_flags to maintain permission to write (PVF_WRITE) and
wired status (PVF_WIRED) for a page, it is also necessary
to take those variables into account.
Invalidate L1 PTE regardles of existance of the corresponding
l2_bucket. This is relevant when superpage is entered via
pmap_enter_object() and will fix crash on entering page
in place of not properly removed superpage.
- netmap pipes, providing bidirectional blocking I/O while moving
100+ Mpps between processes using shared memory channels
(no mistake: over one hundred million. But mind you, i said
*moving* not *processing*);
- kqueue support (BHyVe needs it);
- improved user library. Just the interface name lets you select a NIC,
host port, VALE switch port, netmap pipe, and individual queues.
The upcoming netmap-enabled libpcap will use this feature.
- optional extra buffers associated to netmap ports, for applications
that need to buffer data yet don't want to make copies.
- segmentation offloading for the VALE switch, useful between VMs.
and a number of bug fixes and performance improvements.
My colleagues Giuseppe Lettieri and Vincenzo Maffione did a substantial
amount of work on these features so we owe them a big thanks.
There are some external repositories that can be of interest:
https://code.google.com/p/netmap
our public repository for netmap/VALE code, including
linux versions and other stuff that does not belong here,
such as python bindings.
https://code.google.com/p/netmap-libpcap
a clone of the libpcap repository with netmap support.
With this any libpcap client has access to most netmap
feature with no recompilation. E.g. tcpdump can filter
packets at 10-15 Mpps.
https://code.google.com/p/netmap-ipfw
a userspace version of ipfw+dummynet which uses netmap
to send/receive packets. Speed is up in the 7-10 Mpps
range per core for simple rulesets.
Both netmap-libpcap and netmap-ipfw will be merged upstream at some
point, but while this happens it is useful to have access to them.
And yes, this code will be merged soon. It is infinitely better
than the version currently in 10 and 9.

insert flow entry. During the route lookup the critical section is
exited. It may happen, that after route lookup we will be executed
on an other CPU that already has such flowentry. Before this change
we simply freed the flowentry and returned to ip_output() with
failure.
Actually there is nothing wrong with using previously allocated
flow entry, updating it properly. Thus, make flowentry_insert()
return the new either old fle, and make use of it.
Count reuses as "collisions" and real inserts as "inserts".

race prone. Some just gather statistics, but some are later used in
different calculations.
A real problem was the race provoked underflow of the states_cur counter
on a rule. Once it goes below zero, it wraps to UINT32_MAX. Later this
value is used in pf_state_expires() and any state created by this rule
is immediately expired.
Thus, make fields states_cur, states_tot and src_nodes of struct
pf_rule be counter(9)s.
Thanks to Dennis for providing me shell access to problematic box and
his help with reproducing, debugging and investigating the problem.

The on-board NIC is an 3x3 AR9380 with 5GHz only.
* enable pci code in AR9344_BASE
* enable ath_pci and the firmware loading bits in DB120
* add in the relevant hints in DB120.hints to inform the probe/attach
code where the PCIe fixup data is for the onboard chip.
This is only relevant for a default development board. I also have a
DB120 with the on-board PCIe wifi NIC disabled and it's exposed as
a real PCIe slot (to put normal PCIe NICs in); the fixup code will need
to be disabled to make this work correctly.
Tested:

a call of pager_swap_freespace() was moved around, now leading to freeing
the incorrect page because of the pindex changes after vm_page_rename().
Get back to use the correct pindex when destroying the swap space.

Some of the collisions that are occuring are due to flowtable lookups
that succeed but have an invalid lle - typically because the L2 adjacency
lookup hasn't completed. This would lead to a follow-up insert which
would then fail (ie, collision) and the code would fall through to doing
a slow-path L2/L3 lookup in the netinet/netinet6 code.
This patch simply aborts storing a new flowtable entry if the lle isn't
yet valid.
Whilst I'm here, add a new pcpu counter for the item so the number of
failures can be tracked separately from generic "collisions."

because we use the 1MiB section maps as they only need a single pagetable.
To allow this we only use pc relative loads to ensure we only load from
physical addresses until we are running from a known virtual address.
As a side effect any data from before or 64MiB after the kernel needs to
be mapped in to be used. This should not be an issue for kernels loaded
with ubldr as it places this data just after the kernel. It will be a
problem when loading directly from anything using the Linux ABI that
places the ATAG data outside this range, for example U-Boot.
Currently we have 3 usage patterns:
1) nd6_output (most traffic flow, no lle supplied, lle RLOCK sufficient)
2) corner cases for output (no lle, STALE lle, so on). lle WLOCK needed.
3) nd* iunternal machinery (WLOCK'ed lle provided, perform packet queing).
We separate case 1 and implement it inside its only customer - nd6_output.
This leads to some code duplication (especialy SEND stuff, which should be
hooked to output in a different way), but simplifies locking and control
flow logic fir nd6_output_lle.

Add gpioled(4) to BEAGLEBONE kernel and add the description of the four
on-board leds of beaglebone-black to its DTS file.
Approved by: adrian (mentor, implicit)
change the gpio children can be described as directly connected to the GPIO
controller without the need of describing the OFW GPIO bus itself on the
DTS file.
With this commit the OFW GPIO bus is fully functional on BBB and RPi.
GPIO controllers which want to use the OFW GPIO bus will need similar
changes.

This change makes ofw_iicbus attach to iicbb(4) controllers in addition to
the already supported i2c host bridges (iichb).
On iicbb(4) allow the direct access of the OFW parent node by its children,
so they can be directly attached to iicbb(4) node on the DTS without the
need of describing the i2c bus.

Tested on RPi and BBB (using the hardware I2C controller and gpioiic(4) for
the I2C tests). It was also verified for regressions on RSPRO (MIPS/ar71xx)
