It was a driver for a USB FM tuner that was available in the market in 2002. I
wrote the driver in 2003. I've not used it since 2005 or so, so it's time to
retire this driver. No userland code ever interfaced to the special device it
created. There's no user base: the last bug I received on this driver was in
2004.
Relnotes: Yes
This was discussed in arch@ a while ago. Most of the 16-bit drivers that it
relied on have been removed. There's only a few other drivers remaining that
support it, and those are very rare the days (even the once ubiquitious wi(1)
is now quite rare).
Indvidual drivers will be handled separately before pccard itself is removed.
Add prng(9) as a replacement for random(9) in the kernel.
There are two major differences from random(9) and random(3):
- General prng(9) APIs (prng32(9), etc) do not guarantee an
implementation or particular sequence; they should not be used for
repeatable simulations.
- However, specific named API families are also exposed (for now: PCG),
and those are expected to be repeatable (when so-guaranteed by the named
algorithm).
Some minor differences from random(3) and earlier random(9):
- PRNG state for the general prng(9) APIs is per-CPU; this eliminates
contention on PRNG state in SMP workloads. Each PCPU generator in an
SMP system produces a unique sequence.
- Better statistical properties than the Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG
(longer period, uniform distribution in all bits, passes
BigCrush/PractRand analysis).
- Faster than Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG -- no division is required to
step PCG-family PRNGs.
For now, random(9) becomes a thin shim around prng32(). Eventually I
would like to mechanically switch consumers over to the explicit API.

- In the initial description of si_addr, do not claim that it is
always the faulting instruction.
- For si_addr, document that it is generally set to the PC for
synchronous signals, but that it can be set to the the address of
the faulting memory reference for some signals including SIGSEGV and
SIGBUS. In particular, while SIGSEGV generally sets si_addr to the
faulting memory reference, SIGBUS can vary. On some platforms, some
SIGBUS signals set si_addr to the PC and other SIGBUS signals set
si_addr to the faulting address depending on the specific hardware
exception.
- For si_trapno, synchronous signals should set this to some value.

For purposes of handling hardware error reported via NMIs I need a way to
escape NMI context, being too restrictive to do something significant.
To do it this change introduces new swi_sched() flag SWI_FROMNMI, making
it careful about used KPIs. On platforms allowing IPI sending from NMI
context (x86 for now) it immediately wakes clk_intr_event via new IPI_SWI,
otherwise it works just like SWI_DELAY. To handle the delayed SWIs this
patch calls clk_intr_event on every hardclock() tick.

Allow TLS records to be decrypted in the kernel after being received
by a NIC. At a high level this is somewhat similar to software KTLS
for the transmit path except in reverse. Protocols enqueue mbufs
containing encrypted TLS records (or portions of records) into the
tail of a socket buffer and the KTLS layer decrypts those records
before returning them to userland applications. However, there is an
important difference:
- In the transmit case, the socket buffer is always a single "record"
holding a chain of mbufs. Not-yet-encrypted mbufs are marked not
ready (M_NOTREADY) and released to protocols for transmit by marking
mbufs ready once their data is encrypted.
- In the receive case, incoming (encrypted) data appended to the
socket buffer is still a single stream of data from the protocol,
but decrypted TLS records are stored as separate records in the
socket buffer and read individually via recvmsg().
Initially I tried to make this work by marking incoming mbufs as
M_NOTREADY, but there didn't seemed to be a non-gross way to deal with
picking a portion of the mbuf chain and turning it into a new record
in the socket buffer after decrypting the TLS record it contained
(along with prepending a control message). Also, such mbufs would
also need to be "pinned" in some way while they are being decrypted
such that a concurrent sbcut() wouldn't free them out from under the
thread performing decryption.
As such, I settled on the following solution:
- Socket buffers now contain an additional chain of mbufs (sb_mtls,
sb_mtlstail, and sb_tlscc) containing encrypted mbufs appended by
the protocol layer. These mbufs are still marked M_NOTREADY, but
soreceive*() generally don't know about them (except that they will
block waiting for data to be decrypted for a blocking read).
- Each time a new mbuf is appended to this TLS mbuf chain, the socket
buffer peeks at the TLS record header at the head of the chain to
determine the encrypted record's length. If enough data is queued
for the TLS record, the socket is placed on a per-CPU TLS workqueue
(reusing the existing KTLS workqueues and worker threads).
- The worker thread loops over the TLS mbuf chain decrypting records
until it runs out of data. Each record is detached from the TLS
mbuf chain while it is being decrypted to keep the mbufs "pinned".
However, a new sb_dtlscc field tracks the character count of the
detached record and sbcut()/sbdrop() is updated to account for the
detached record. After the record is decrypted, the worker thread
first checks to see if sbcut() dropped the record. If so, it is
freed (can happen when a socket is closed with pending data).
Otherwise, the header and trailer are stripped from the original
mbufs, a control message is created holding the decrypted TLS
header, and the decrypted TLS record is appended to the "normal"
socket buffer chain.
(Side note: the SBCHECK() infrastucture was very useful as I was
able to add assertions there about the TLS chain that caught several
bugs during development.)

AVL trees, red-black trees, and others. Weak AVL (wavl) trees are a
recently discovered member of that class. This change replaces
red-black rebalancing with weak AVL rebalancing in the RB tree macros.
Wavl trees sit between AVL and red-black trees in terms of how
strictly balance is enforced. They have the stricter balance of AVL
trees as the tree is built - a wavl tree is an AVL tree until the
first deletion. Once removals start, wavl trees are lazier about
rebalancing than AVL trees, so that removals can be fast, but the
balance of the tree can decay to that of a red-black tree. Subsequent
insertions can push balance back toward the stricter AVL conditions.
Removing a node from a wavl tree never requires more than two
rotations, which is better than either red-black or AVL
trees. Inserting a node into a wavl tree never requires more than two
rotations, which matches red-black and AVL trees. The only
disadvantage of wavl trees to red-black trees is that more insertions
are likely to adjust the tree a bit. That's the cost of keeping the
tree more balanced.
Testing has shown that for the cases where red-black trees do worst,
wavl trees better balance leads to faster lookups, so that if lookups
outnumber insertions by a nontrivial amount, lookup time saved exceeds
the extra cost of balancing.
