the second-last 64k seems to be the default firmware board configuration
area.
Since I have no idea whether uboot uses it or not - and it's prefixed
with an atheros eeprom signature (0xaa55), I figure the safest thing
to do is mark it as read-only.
I've modified my local tplink firmware building program to generate
a board configuration section - which is separate to this partition.
It's located in the 64k _before_ this particular 64k.
The firmware build program from OpenWRT never initialises those
values and the firmware images from tplink also leave it 0x0, so I
don't currently know what the exact, correct details should be.
the ar71xx platform code should assume a uboot or redboot environment.
The current code gets very confused (and just crashes) on a uboot
environment, where each attribute=value pair is in a single entry.
Redboot on the other hand stores it as "attribute", "value", "attribute",
"value", ...
This allows the kernel to boot on a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND from flash,
where the uboot environment gets setup. This didn't show up during a netboot
as "tftpboot" and "go" don't setup the uboot environment variables.
The default flash layout gives only 1 megabyte for the kernel, gzipped.
The uboot firmware running on this device only supports gzip, not lzma, so
we actually _do_ have to try and slim the kernel down a bit.
But, since I can't actually do that at the present, I'm opting to:
* extend the kernel from 1mb to 2mb;
* have rootfs fill the rest of that, save 64k;
* eventually I'll hide a 64k config partition at the end, between the
end of rootfs and the ART (radio configuration data.)
The uboot firmware doesn't care about the partition layout. It just
expects the kernel application image to sit at 0xbf020000 (right after
the 128k uboot image.) The uboot header isn't actually read either -
it's "faked" from a "tplink" flash image header. So as long as the
map configuration here matches what is being written out via the
tplink firmware generator, everything is a-ok.
A previous commit disabled compiling the AR9130 support in the default
HAL build in the kernel. Since the AR9130 support won't actually function
without AH_SUPPORT_AR9130 (and that abomination needs to be undone at some
point, in order to allow USB 11n NICs to also work), we now have to
explicitly compile it in.
But since the 11n RF backends don't (currently) join the RF linker set,
one has to compile in _an_ RF backend for the HAL to compile.
At some point it would be nice to correctly update the bus glue to make
this "correct", including having the DDR flush occur in the right spot
(ie, any AHB interrupt.)

Because there is no reliable way to know whether RX MAC is in
stopped state, rejecting all frames would be the only way to
minimize possible races.
Otherwise it's possible to receive frames while stop command
execution is in progress and controller can DMA the frame to freed
RX buffer during that period.
This was observed on recent PCIe controllers(i.e. RTL8111F).
While this change may not be required on old controllers it
wouldn't make negative effects on old controllers. One side effect
of this change is disabling receive so driver reprograms RL_RXCFG
to receive WOL frames when it is put into suspend or shutdown.
This should address occasional 'memory modified free' errors seen
on recent RealTek controllers.

- Remove MIIBUS statchg callback and program VGE_DIAGCTL before
initiating link establishment. Previously driver used to
program VGE_DIAGCTL after getting a link in statchg callback.
It seems the VGE_DIAGCTL register works like a kind of MII
register such that it requires setting a 'to be' mode in advance
rather than relying on resolved speed/duplex of established link.
This means the statchg callback is not needed in driver. In
addition, if there was no link at the time of media change, this
was not called at all.
- Introduce vge_ifmedia_upd_locked() to change current media to
configured one. Actual media change is performed only after PHY
reset and VGE_DIAGCTL setup.
- In WOL configuration, make sure to clear forced mode such that
controller can rely on auto-negotiation.
- Unlike most other drivers that use miibus(4), vge(4) used
controller's auto-polling feature for link state tracking via
interrupt. This came from controller's inefficient mechanism to
access MII registers. On link state change interrupt, vge(4)
used to get current link state with series of MII register
accesses. Because vge(4) already enabled auto polling, read PHY
status register to resolved speed/duplex/flow control parameters.
vge(4) still does not drive MII_TICK to reduce number of MII
register accesses which in turn means the driver does not know the
status of auto-negotiation. This was a one of long standing
issue of vge(4). Probably driver may be able to implement a timer
that keeps track of auto-negotiation state and restart
auto-negotiation when driver couldn't establish a link within a
specified period. However the controller does not provide a
reliable way to detect auto-negotiation failure so I'm not sure
whether it's worth to implement it in driver.
Alternatively driver can completely disable MII auto-polling and
let miibus(4) poll link state by driving MII_TICK. This may reduce
unnecessary overhead of stopping/restarting MII auto-polling of
controller. Unfortunately it was known that some variants of
controller does not work correctly if MII auto-polling is disabled.

"correct" handling of frames in the RX pending queue during interface
transitions.
* ath_stoprecv() doesn't blank out the descriptor list - that's what
ath_startrecv() does. So, change a comment to reflect that.
* ath_stoprecv() does include a large (3ms) delay to let pending DMA
complete. However, I'm under the impression that the stopdma hal
method does check for a bit in the PCU to indicate DMA has stopped.
So, to help with fast abort and restart, modify ath_stoprecv() to take
a flag which indicates whether this is needed.
* Modify the uses of ath_stoprecv() to pass in a flag to support the
existing behaviour (ie, do the delay.)
* Remove some duplicate PCU teardown code (which wasn't shutting down DMA,
so it wasn't entirely correct..) and replace it with a call to
ath_stoprecv(sc, 0) - which disables the DELAY call.
The upshoot of this is now channel change doesn't simply drop completed
frames on the floor, but instead it cleanly handles those frames.
It still discards pending TX frames in the software and hardware queues
as there's no (current) logic which forcibly recalculates the rate control
information (or whether they're appropriate to be on the TX queue after
a channel change), that'll come later.
This still doesn't stop all the sources of queue stalls but it does
tidy up some of the code duplication.
To be complete, queue stalls now occur during normal behaviour -
they only occur after some kind of broken behaviour causes an interface
or node flush, upsetting the TX/RX BAW. Subsequent commits will
incrementally fix these and other related issues.

for the ath(4) driver.
Currently, there's nothing stopping reset, channel change and general
TX/RX from overlapping with each other. This wasn't a big deal with
pre-11n traffic as it just results in some dropped frames.
It's possible this may have also caused some inconsistencies and
badly-setup hardware.
Since locks can't be held across all of this (the Linux solution)
due to LORs with the network stack locks, some state counter
variables are used to track what parts of the code the driver is
currently in.
When the hardware is being reset, it disables the taskqueue and
waits for pending interrupts, tx, rx and tx completion before
it begins the reset or channel change.
TX and RX both abort if called during an active reset or channel
change.
Finally, the reset path now doesn't flush frames if ATH_RESET_NOLOSS
is set. Instead, completed TX and RX frames are passed back up to
net80211 before the reset occurs.
This is not without problems:
* Raw frame xmit are just dropped, rather than placed on a queue.
The net80211 stack should be the one which queues these frames
rather than the driver.
* It's all very messy. It'd be better if these hardware operations
were serialised on some kind of work queue, rather than hoping
they can be run in parallel.
* The taskqueue block/unblock may occur in parallel with the
newstate() function - which shuts down the taskqueue and restarts
it once the new state is known. It's likely these operations should
be refcounted so the taskqueue is restored once no other areas
in the code wish to suspend operations.
* .. interrupt disable/enable should likely be refcounted as well.
With this work, the driver does not drop frames during stuck beacon
or fatal errors and thus 11n traffic continues to run correctly.
Default and full resets however do still drop frames and it's possible
this may occur, causing traffic loss and session stalls.

At this time I am bringing in only the generic code (sys/dev/netmap/
plus two headers under sys/net/), and some sample applications in
tools/tools/netmap. There is also a manpage in share/man/man4 [1]
In order to make use of the framework you need to build a kernel
with "device netmap", and patch individual drivers with the code
that you can find in
sys/dev/netmap/head.diff
The file will go away as the relevant pieces are committed to
the various device drivers, which should happen in a few days
after talking to the driver maintainers.
Netmap support is available at the moment for Intel 10G and 1G
cards (ixgbe, em/lem/igb), and for the Realtek 1G card ("re").
I have partial patches for "bge" and am starting to work on "cxgbe".
Hopefully changes are trivial enough so interested third parties
can submit their patches. Interested people can contact me
for advice on how to add netmap support to specific devices.

[1] In my opinion is a bad idea to have all manpage in one directory.
We should place kernel documentation in the same dir that contains
the code, which would make it much simpler to keep doc and code
in sync, reduce the clutter in share/man/ and incidentally is
the policy used for all of userspace code.
Makefiles and doc tools can be trivially adjusted to find the
manpages in the relevant subdirs.
controllers.
More and more RealTek controllers started to implement EEE feature.
Vendor driver seems to load a kind of firmware for EEE with
additional PHY fixups. It is known that the EEE feature may need
ASPM support. Unfortunately there is no documentation for EEE of
the controller so enabling ASPM may cause more problems.
This enables locking consumers to pass their own structures around as const and
be able to assert locks embedded into those structures.

Unnecessarily complex LE format used on Marvell controller was
main reason not to enable 64bit DMA addressing in driver. If high
32bit address of DMA address of TX/RX buffer is changed, driver has
to generate a new LE. In TX path, driver will keep track of lastly
used high 32bit address of DMA address and generate a new LE
whenever it sees high address change in the DMA address. In RX path,
driver will always use two LEs to specify 64bit DMA address of RX
buffer. If the high 32bit address of DMA address of RX buffer is
the same as previous DMA address of RX buffer, driver does not have
to use two LEs but driver will use two LEs for simplicity in RX
ring management.
One of draw back for switching to 64bit DMA addressing is that the
large amount of LEs are used to specify 64bit DMA address such that
number of available LEs for TX/RX buffers are considerably reduced.
To mitigate the issue, increase number of available LEs from 256 to
384 for TX and from 256 to 512 for RX. For 32bit architectures,
msk(4) does not use 64bit DMA addressing to save resources.

yielding a new public interface, vm_page_alloc_contig(). This new function
addresses some of the limitations of the current interfaces, contigmalloc()
and kmem_alloc_contig(). For example, the physically contiguous memory that
is allocated with those interfaces can only be allocated to the kernel vm
object and must be mapped into the kernel virtual address space. It also
provides functionality that vm_phys_alloc_contig() doesn't, such as wiring
the returned pages. Moreover, unlike that function, it respects the low
water marks on the paging queues and wakes up the page daemon when
necessary. That said, at present, this new function can't be applied to all
types of vm objects. However, that restriction will be eliminated in the
coming weeks.
From a design standpoint, this change also addresses an inconsistency
between vm_phys_alloc_contig() and the other vm_phys_alloc*() functions.
Specifically, vm_phys_alloc_contig() manipulated vm_page fields that other
functions in vm/vm_phys.c didn't. Moreover, vm_phys_alloc_contig() knew
about vnodes and reservations. Now, vm_page_alloc_contig() is responsible
for these things.

curthread-accessing part of mtx_{,un}lock(9) when using a r210623-style
curthread implementation on sparc64, crashing the kernel in its early
cycles as PCPU isn't set up, yet (and can't be set up as OFW is one of the
things we need for that, which leads to a chicken-and-egg problem). What
happens is that due to the fact that the idea of r210623 actually is to
allow the compiler to cache invocations of curthread, it factors out
obtaining curthread needed for both mtx_lock(9) and mtx_unlock(9) to
before the branch based on kobj_mutex_inited when compiling the kernel
without the debugging options. So change kobj_class_compile_static(9)
to just never acquire kobj_mtx, effectively restricting it to its
documented use, and add a kobj_init_static(9) for initializing objects
using a class compiled with the former and that also avoids using mutex(9)
(and malloc(9)). Also assert in both of these functions that they are
used in their intended way only.
While at it, inline kobj_register_method() and kobj_unregister_method()
as there wasn't much point for factoring them out in the first place
and so that a reader of the code has to figure out the locking for
fewer functions missing a KOBJ_ASSERT.

Device pager can be allocated with the cdev_pager_allocate(9)
function, which takes struct cdev_pager_ops, containing
constructor/destructor and page fault handler methods supplied by
driver.
Constructor and destructor, called at the pager allocation and
deallocation time, allow the driver to handle per-object private data.
The pager handler is called to handle page fault on the vm map entry
backed by the driver pager. Driver shall return either the vm_page_t
which should be mapped, or error code (which does not cause kernel
panic anymore). The page handler interface has a placeholder to
specify the access mode causing the fault, but currently PROT_READ is
always passed there.
