Typo was introduced by SVN r251361.
This is based on the AR933x (Hornet) SoC from Qualcomm Atheros.
It's a much nicer board to do development on - 64MB RAM, 16MB flash.
The development board breaks out the GPIO pins, ethernet, serial (via
a USB<->RS232 chip), USB host and of course a small wifi antenna.
Everything but the wifi works thus far.
"Login Management" module): Use default values for all account details?
If you select "Yes" (the default is "No"), you'll jump past all the prompts
and jump straight to the review screen with all-default values.
Makes adding a lot of users/groups faster/easier if you don't need to
customize more than one or two different values from their defaults.
fix the regression introduced by r251544; which was trying to make things
consistent w/respect to ESC versus YES versus NO in the password disable
prompt in "Login Management".
(need stronger coffee; very sorry for the churn)
With this revision, the "YES", "NO", and implied ESC options all work as-
expected. Choosing "YES" allows you to proceed and the password will be
disabled. Choosing "NO" will bring back around to enter a password for the
account. Pressing ESC will drop you out of either user or group input and
back to the usermgmt screen.
would like to disable password management for an account while adding either
a user or group. When being prompted to answer questions while adding a
group or user, two things are trow:
1. You can hit ENTER to blast through all the questions and in the end, the
group or user is created with sensible defaults for all values.
2. You can press ESC during any prompt to cancel the operation as a whole.
This fix is shoring up an inconsistency in the latter (#2).
which choosing to cancel the manual input of expiration time (in seconds
since the UNIX epoch) for either account expiration or password expiration
would see the original value lost.
Even though I tested the 1-byte operations on arbitrarily aligned bytes,
it seems I did not do this for the 2-byte operations.
Create easy to read functions that are used to get/put bytes and
halfwords in words. To keep the compiler happy, explicitly read two
bytes into a union to obtain a 16-bit value.

To make <stdatomic.h> work on MIPS (and ARM) using GCC, we need to
provide implementations of the __sync_*() functions. I already added
these functions for 4 and 8 byte types to libcompiler-rt some time ago,
based on top of <machine/atomic.h>.
Unfortunately, <machine/atomic.h> only provides a subset of the features
needed to implement <stdatomic.h>. This means that in some cases we had
to do compare-and-exchange calls in loops, where a simple ll/sc would
suffice.
Also implement these functions for 1 and 2 byte types. MIPS only
provides ll/sc instructions for 4 and 8 byte types, but this is of
course no limitation. We can simply load 4 bytes and use some bitmask
tricks to modify only the bytes affected.

* Illumos ZFS issue #3805 arc shouldn't cache freed blocks
Quote from the Illumos issue:
ZFS should proactively evict freed blocks from the cache.
Even though these freed blocks will never be used again, and thus
will eventually be evicted, this causes us to use memory
inefficiently for 2 reasons:
1. A block that is freed has no chance of being accessed again, but
will be kept in memory preferentially to a block that was accessed
before it (and is thus older) but has not been freed and thus has
at least some chance of being accessed again.
2. We partition the ARC into several buckets:
user data that has been accessed only once (MRU)
metadata that has been accessed only once (MRU)
user data that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
metadata that has been accessed more than once (MFU)
The user data vs metadata split is somewhat arbitrary, and the
primary control on how much memory is used to cache data vs metadata
is to simply try to keep the proportion the same as it has been in the
past (each bucket "evicts against" itself). The secondary control is
to evict data before evicting metadata.
Because of this bucketing, we may end up with one bucket mostly
containing freed blocks that are very old, while another bucket has
more recently accessed, still-allocated blocks. Data in the useful
bucket (with still-allocated blocks) may be evicted in preference to
data in the useless bucket (with old, freed blocks).
On dcenter, we saw that the MFU metadata bucket was 230MB, while the
MFU data bucket was 27GB and the MRU metadata bucket was 256GB.
However, the vast majority of data in the MRU metadata bucket (256GB)
was freed blocks, and thus useless. Meanwhile, the MFU metadata bucket
(230MB) was constantly evicting useful blocks that will be soon needed.
The problem of cache segmentation is a larger problem that needs more
investigation. However, if we stop caching freed blocks, it should
reduce the impact of this more fundamental issue.

Store/restore the VFP registers in setjmp/longjmp on ARM EABI if VFP is
enabled in the kernel. It checks the hw.floatingpoint sysctl to see if
floating-point is available and uses this to determine if it should store
them. If it does it uses a different magic value so longjmp is able to know
if it should load them.
debug files for userland programs and libraries. The "-g" debug flag
is automatically applied when WITH_DEBUG_FILES is set.
The debug files are now named ${prog}.debug and ${shlib}.debug for
consistency with other systems and documentation. In addition they are
installed under /usr/lib/debug, to simplify the process of installing
them if needed after a crash. Users of bsd.{prog,lib}.mk outside of the
base system place the standalone debug files in a .debug subdirectory.
GDB automatically searches both of these directories for standalone
debug files.

libusbx deprecated libusb_get_port_path and replaced it with
libusb_get_port_numbers. The latter omits an extra parameter which was
unused in the FreeBSD implementation anyway.
The "find node" function call will increase the node reference anyway;
so there's no reason to hold the node table lock during the MLME change.
The only reason I could think of is to stop overlapping mlme ioctls
from causing issues, but this should be fixed a different way.
This fixes a whole class of LORs that creep up when nodes are being
timed out or removed by hostapd.
Tested:
* AR5416, hostap, with nodes coming and going. No LORs or stability
issues were observed.
for the WB195 combo NIC - an AR9285 w/ an AR3011 USB bluetooth NIC.
The AR3011 is wired up using a 3-wire coexistence scheme to the AR9285.
The code in if_ath_btcoex.c sets up the initial hardware mapping
and coexistence configuration. There's nothing special about it -
it's static; it doesn't try to configure bluetooth / MAC traffic priorities
or try to figure out what's actually going on. It's enough to stop basic
bluetooth traffic from causing traffic stalls and diassociation from
the wireless network.
To use this code, you must have the above NIC. No, it won't work
for the AR9287+AR3012, nor the AR9485, AR9462 or AR955x combo cards.
Then you set a kernel hint before boot or before kldload, where 'X'
is the unit number of your AR9285 NIC:
# kenv hint.ath.X.btcoex_profile=wb195
This will then appear in your boot messages:
[100482] athX: Enabling WB195 BTCOEX
This code is going to evolve pretty quickly (well, depending upon my
spare time) so don't assume the btcoex API is going to stay stable.
In order to use the bluetooth side, you must also load in firmware using
ath3kfw and the binary firmware file (ath3k-1.fw in my case.)
Tested:
* AR9280, no interference
* WB195 - AR9285 + AR3011 combo; STA mode; basic bluetooth inquiries
were enough to cause traffic stalls and disassociations. This has
stopped with the btcoex profile code.
TODO:
* Importantly - the AR9285 needs ASPM disabled if bluetooth coexistence
is enabled. No, I don't know why. It's likely some kind of bug to do
with the AR3011 sending bluetooth coexistence signals whilst the device
is asleep. Since we don't actually sleep the MAC just yet, it shouldn't
be a problem. That said, to be totally correct:
+ ASPM should be disabled - upon attach and wakeup
+ The PCIe powersave HAL code should never be called
Look at what the ath9k driver does for inspiration.
* Add WB197 (AR9287+AR3012) support
* Add support for the AR9485, which is another combo like the AR9285
* The later NICs have a different signaling mechanism between the MAC
and the bluetooth device; I haven't even begun to experiment with
making that HAL code work. But it should be a lot more automatic.
* The hardware can do much more interesting traffic weighting with
bluetooth and wifi traffic. None of this is currently used.
Ideally someone would code up something to watch the bluetooth traffic
GPIO (via an interrupt) and then watch it go high/low; then figure out
what the bluetooth traffic is and adjust things appropriately.
* If I get the time I may add in some code to at least track this stuff
and expose statistics. But it's up to someone else to experiment with
the bluetooth coexistence support and add the interesting stuff (like
"real" detection of bulk, audio, etc bluetooth traffic patterns and
change wifi parameters appropriately - eg, maximum aggregate length,
transmit power, using quiet time to control TX duty cycle, etc.)
