tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.
o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats
from hardware.

o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.
Actual movements:
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl

The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.
Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.
The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.

Regular LISTs have been implemented in such a way that the prev-pointer
does not point to the previous element, but to the next-pointer stored
in the previous element. This is done to simplify LIST_REMOVE(). This
macro can be implemented without knowing the address of the list head.
Unfortunately this makes it harder to implement LIST_PREV(), which is
why this macro was never here. Still, it is possible to implement this
macro. If the prev-pointer points to the list head, we return NULL.
Otherwise we simply subtract the offset of the prev-pointer within the
structure.
It's not as efficient as traversing forward of course, but in practice
it shouldn't be that bad. In almost all use cases, people will want to
compare the value returned by LIST_PREV() against NULL, so an optimizing
compiler will not emit code that does more branching than TAILQs.
While there, make the code a bit more readable by introducing
__member2struct(). This makes STAILQ_LAST() far more readable.

used with Terasic's DE-4 and other similar FPGA boards. This display
is 800x480 and includes a capacitive touch screen, multi-touch
gesture recognition, etc. This device driver depends on a Cambridge-
provided IP core that allows the MTL device to be hooked up to the
Altera Avalon SoC bus, and also provides a VGA-like text frame buffer.
Although it is compiled as a single device driver, it actually
implements a number of different device nodes exporting various
aspects of this multi-function device to userspace:
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL 24-bit pixel frame buffer.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL control register set.
- Simple memory-mapped driver for the MTL text frame buffer.
- syscons attachment for the MTL text frame buffer.
This driver attaches directly to Nexus as is common for SoC device
drivers, and for the time being is considered BERI-specific, although
in principle it might be used with other hard and soft cores on
Altera FPGAs.
Control registers, including touchscreen input, are simply memory
mapped; in the future it would be desirable to hook up a more
conventional device node that can stream events, support kqueue(2)/
poll(2)/select(2), etc.
This is the first use of syscons on MIPS, as far as I can tell, and
there are some loose ends, such as an inability to use the hardware
cursor. More fundamentally, it appears that syscons(4) assumes that
either a host is PC-like (i386, amd64) *or* it must be using a
graphical frame buffer. While the MTL supports a graphical frame
buffer, using the text frame buffer is preferable for console use.
Fixing this issue in syscons(4) requires non-trivial changes, as the
text frame buffer support assumes that direct memory access can be
done to the text frame buffer without using bus accessor methods,
which is not the case on MIPS. As a workaround for this, we instead
double-buffer and pretend to be a graphical frame buffer exposing
text accessor methods, leading to some quirks in syscons behaviour.

The driver attempts to support all documented parts, but has only been
tested with the 512Mbit part on the Terasic DE4 FPGA board. It should be
trivial to adapt the driver's attach routine to other embedded boards
using with any parts in the family.
Also import isfctl(8) which can be used to erase sections of the flash.

which presents a UART-like interface over the Avalon bus that can be
addressed over JTAG. This IP core proves extremely useful, allowing us to
connect trivially to the FreeBSD console over JTAG for FPGA-embedded hard
and soft cores. As interrupts are optionally configured for this soft
core, we support both interrupt-driven and polled modes of operation,
which must be selected using device.hints. UART instances appear in /dev
as ttyu0, ttyu1, etc.
However, it also contains a number of quirks, which make it difficult to
tell when JTAG is connected, and some buffering issues. We work around
these as best we can, using various heuristics.
While the majority of this device driver is not only not BERI-specific,
but also not MIPS-specific, for now add its defines in the BERI files
list, as the console-level parts are aware of where the first JTAG UART
is mapped on Avalon, and contain MIPS-specific address translation, to
use before Newbus and device.hints are available.

which can be synthesised in Altera FPGAs. An altera_sdcardc device
probes during the boot, and /dev/altera_sdcard devices come and go as
inserted and removed. The device driver attaches directly to the
Nexus, as is common for system-on-chip device drivers.
This IP core suffers a number of significant limitations, including a
lack of interrupt-driven I/O -- we must implement timer-driven polling,
only CSD 0 cards (up to 2G) are supported, there are serious memory
access issues that require the driver to verify writes to memory-mapped
buffers, undocumented alignment requirements, and erroneous error
returns. The driver must therefore work quite hard, despite a fairly
simple hardware-software interface. The IP core also supports at most
one outstanding I/O at a time, so is not a speed demon.
However, with the above workarounds, and subject to performance
problems, it works quite reliably in practice, and we can use it for
read-write mounts of root file systems, etc.

CPU cores on Altera FPGAs. The device driver allows memory-mapped devices
on Altera's Avalon SoC bus to be exported to userspace via device nodes.
device.hints directories dictate device name, permissible access methods,
physical address and length, and I/O alignment. Devices can be accessed
using read(2)/write(2), but also memory mapped in userspace using mmap(2).
Devices attach directly to the Nexus, as is common for embedded device
drivers; in the future something more mature might be desirable. There is
currently no facility to support directing device-originated interrupts to
userspace.
In the future, this device driver may be renamed to socgen(4), as it can
in principle also be used with other system-on-chip (SoC) busses, such as
Axi on ASICs and FPGAs. However, we have only tested it on Avalon busses
with memory-mapped ROMs, frame buffers, etc.
