generator, found on IvyBridge and supposedly later CPUs, accessible
with RDRAND instruction.
From the Intel whitepapers and articles about Bull Mountain, it seems
that we do not need to perform post-processing of RDRAND results, like
AES-encryption of the data with random IV and keys, which was done for
Padlock. Intel claims that sanitization is performed in hardware.
Make both Padlock and Bull Mountain random generators support code
covered by kernel config options, for the benefit of people who prefer
minimal kernels. Also add the tunables to disable hardware generator
even if detected.

warnings in sys/gnu/fs/xfs. The only warnings that still need to be
suppressed are those about array bound overruns of flexible array
members in xfs_dir2_{block,sf}.c, which are too expensive (in terms of
cascading code changes) to fix.

Basically, this is automatic rx zero copy when feasible. TCP payload is
DMA'd directly into the userspace buffer described by the uio submitted
in soreceive by an application.
- Works with sockets that are being handled by the TCP offload engine
of a T4 chip (you need t4_tom.ko module loaded after cxgbe, and an
"ifconfig +toe" on the cxgbe interface).
- Does not require any modification to the application.
- Not enabled by default. Use hw.t4nex.<X>.toe.ddp="1" to enable it.
'encapsulating interface' used with IPsec and has nothing to do with
storage 'enclosure' services.

Noticed while: debugging why enc(4) is no longer automatically created
subdevice ahciem. Emulate SEMB SES device from AHCI LED interface to expose
it to users in form of ses(4) CAM device. If we ever see AHCI controllers
supporting SES of SAF-TE over I2C as described by specification, they should
fit well into this new picture.

* Introduce TX DMA setup/teardown methods, mirroring what's done in
the RX path.
Although the TX DMA descriptor is setup via ath_desc_alloc() /
ath_desc_free(), there TX status descriptor ring will be allocated
in this path.
* Remove some of the TX EDMA capability probing from the RX path and
push it into the new TX EDMA path.
These probes are most useful when looking into the structures
they provide, which are listed in io.d. For example:
dtrace -n 'io:genunix::start { printf("%d\n", args[0]->bio_bcount); }'
Note that the I/O systems in FreeBSD and Solaris/Illumos are sufficiently
different that there is not a 1:1 mapping from scripts that work
with one to the other.

Asus laptops. It is alike to acpi_asus(4), but uses WMI interface instead
of separate ACPI device.
On Asus EeePC T101MT netbook it allows to handle hotkeys and on/off WLAN,
Bluetooth, LCD backlight, camera, cardreader and touchpad.
On Asus UX31A ultrabook it allows to handle hotkeys, on/off WLAN, Bluetooth,
Wireless LED, control keyboard backlight brightness, monitor temperature
and fan speed. LCD brightness control doesn't work now for unknown reason,
possibly requiring some video card initialization.

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

There's some TX path TDMA code in if_ath_tx.c which should be migrated
out, but first I should likely try and verify/fix/repair the TDMA support
in 9.x and -HEAD.
The NAND Flash environment consists of several distinct components:
- NAND framework (drivers harness for NAND controllers and NAND chips)
- NAND simulator (NANDsim)
- NAND file system (NAND FS)
- Companion tools and utilities
- Documentation (manual pages)
This work is still experimental. Please use with caution.
