Some time ago I made a change to merge together the memory scope
definitions used by mmap (MAP_{PRIVATE,SHARED}) and lock objects
(PTHREAD_PROCESS_{PRIVATE,SHARED}). Though that sounded pretty smart
back then, it's backfiring. In the case of mmap it's used with other
flags in a bitmask, but for locking it's an enumeration. As our plan is
to automatically generate bindings for other languages, that looks a bit
sloppy.
Change all of the locking functions to use separate flags instead.

The type definitions and constants that were used by COMPAT_CLOUDABI64
are a literal copy of some headers stored inside of CloudABI's C
library, cloudlibc. What is annoying is that we can't make use of
cloudlibc's system call list, as the format is completely different and
doesn't provide enough information. It had to be synced in manually.
We recently decided to solve this (and some other problems) by moving
the ABI definitions into a separate file:
https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudabi/blob/master/cloudabi.txt
This file is processed by a pile of Python scripts to generate the
header files like before, documentation (markdown), but in our case more
importantly: a FreeBSD system call table.
This change discards the old files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and replaces
them by the latest copies, which requires some minor changes here and
there. Because cloudabi.txt also enforces consistent names of the system
call arguments, we have to patch up a small number of system call
implementations to use the new argument names.
The new header files can also be included directly in FreeBSD kernel
space without needing any includes/defines, so we can now remove
cloudabi_syscalldefs.h and cloudabi64_syscalldefs.h. Patch up the
sources to include the definitions directly from sys/contrib/cloudabi
instead.
Freescale's QorIQ line includes a new ethernet controller, based on their
Datapath Acceleration Architecture (DPAA). This uses a combination of a Frame
manager, Buffer manager, and Queue manager to improve performance across all
interfaces by being able to pass data directly between hardware acceleration
interfaces.
As part of this import, Freescale's Netcomm Software (ncsw) driver is imported.
This was an attempt by Freescale to create an OS-agnostic sub-driver for
managing the hardware, using shims to interface to the OS-specific APIs. This
work was abandoned, and Freescale's primary work is in the Linux driver (dual
BSD/GPL license). Hence, this was imported directly to sys/contrib, rather than
going through the vendor area. Going forward, FreeBSD-specific changes may be
made to the ncsw code, diverging from the upstream in potentially incompatible
ways. An alternative could be to import the Linux driver itself, using the
linuxKPI layer, as that would maintain parity with the vendor-maintained driver.
However, the Linux driver has not been evaluated for reliability yet, and may
have issues with the import, whereas the ncsw-based driver in this commit was
completed by Semihalf 4 years ago, and is very stable.
Other SoC modules based on DPAA, which could be added in the future:
* Security and Encryption engine (SEC4.x, SEC5.x)
* RAID engine
Additional work to be done:
* Implement polling mode
* Test vlan support
* Add support for the Pattern Matching Engine, which can do regular expression
matching on packets.
This driver has been tested on the P5020 QorIQ SoC. Others listed in the
dtsec(4) manual page are expected to work as the same DPAA engine is included in
all.

HAL version: 2.7

The synth programming here requires the real centre frequency,
which for HT20 channels is the normal channel, but HT40 is
/not/ the primary channel. Everything else was using 'freq',
which is the correct centre frequency, but the hornet config
was using 'ichan' to do the lookup which was also the primary
channel.
So, modify the HAL call that does the mapping to take a frequency
in MHz and return the channel number.
Tested:
* Carambola 2, AR9331, tested both HT/20 and HT/40 operation.
This is a 2x2 2GHz 802.11n part. It works enough at the moment to
bring up, scan and associate. I haven't started using this as
a day to day AP.
The specifics:
* add honeybee initvals
* add in changes; a mix from the QCA HAL and ath9k;
* fix a bug in AR_SREV_AR9580_10_OR_LATER(), which is only used
for one capability check and we don't even implement it - so it's
a big no-op.
Shady things:
* ath9k has the "platform data" define the 25/40MHz clock.
This HAL .. doesn't. Honeybee gets hard-coded to 25MHz which
it likely shouldn't be. I'll have to go and identify/fix those.
Tested:
* Qualcomm Atheros AP143 reference design board.

Right now the only way to force a cold reset is:
* The HAL itself detects it's needed, or
* The sysctl, setting all resets to be cold.
Trouble is, cold resets take quite a bit longer than warm resets.
However, there are situations where a cold reset would be nice.
Specifically, after a stuck beacon, BB/MAC hang, stuck calibration results,
etc.
The vendor HAL has a separate method to set the reset reason (which is
how HAL_RESET_BBPANIC gets set) which informs the HAL during the reset path
why it occured. This is almost but not quite the same; I may eventually
unify both approaches in the future.
This commit just extends HAL_RESET_TYPE to include both status (eg BBPANIC)
and type (eg do COLD.) None of the HAL code uses it yet though; that'll
come later.
It also is a big no-op in each HAL - I need to go teach each of the HALs
about cold/warm reset through this path.
by bus_dmamem_alloc() which creates associated bus_dmamap_t map for us.
When this memory is freed by bus_dmamem_free(), the map is freed as well.
Thus there is no need to free it explicitly by bus_dmamap_destroy(),
which leads to double freeing.

- Emulate Linux mutex API using sx(9) locks with only exclusive operations
instead of mutex(9), in Linux mutexes are sleepable.
- Emulate Linux rwlock_t using rwlock(9) instead of sx(9). rwlock_t
in Linux are spin locks
- Use pmap_quick_enter_page/pmap_quick_remove_page to bounce non-cacheline
aligned head and tail fragments
- Switch from static fragment size to configurable one, newer firmware
passes cache line size as cache_line_size DTB parameter.
With these changes both RPi and RPi2 pass functinal part of vchiq_test
We can't use copyout because destination memory is userland address
in another process but we have reference to respective page so map
the page into kernel address space and copy fragments there
This was off because the net80211 aggregation code was using the same
state pointers for both fast frames and ampdu tx support which led to some
pretty unfortunate panic-y behaviour.
Now that net80211 doesn't panic, let's flip this back on.
It doesn't (yet) do the horrific sounding thing of A-MPDU aggregates
of fast frames; that'll come next. It's a pre-requisite to supporting
AMSDU + AMPDU anyway, which actually speeds things up quite considerably
(think packing lots of little ACK frames into a single AMSDU.)
Tested:
* QCA955x SoC, AP mode
* AR5416, STA mode
* AR9170, STA mode (with local fast frame patches)
Atheros.
Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original
Atheros open source driver circa 2008. This uses the early, pre-carl9170
atheros provided firmware.
It only supports 11bg at the moment. I've not tested it with 11a
(and so the TX rate control logic may be slightly wrong!) so if
you do have the dual-band version of this hardware please do let me know.
Tested:
* AR9170, TP-Link WN821N 2GHz.
TODO:
* Hook this up to a non-module build.
- Add
nvlist_{add,get,take,move,exists,free}_{number,bool,string,nvlist,
descriptor} functions.
- Add support for (un)packing arrays.
- Add the nvl_array_next field to the nvlist structure.
If an array is added by the nvlist_{move,add}_nvlist_array function
this field will contains next element in the array.
- Add the nitems field to the nvpair and nvpair_header structure.
This field contains number of elements in the array.
- Add special flag (NV_FLAG_IN_ARRAY) which is set if nvlist is a part of
an array.
- Add special type (NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY_NEXT).This type is used only
on packing/unpacking.
- Add new API for traversing arrays (nvlist_get_array_next).
- Add the nvlist_get_pararr function which combines the
nvlist_get_array_next and nvlist_get_parent functions. If nvlist is in
the array it will return next element from array. If nvlist is last
element in array or it isn't in array it will return his
container (parent). This function should simplify traveling over nvlist.
- Add tests for new features.
- Add documentation for new functions.
- Add my copyright.
- Regenerate the sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/nvpair.h file.

- the nvlist error is set, or
- the nvlist case ignore flag is not set and there is attend to
add element with duplicated name.
In both cases the nvlist_move_nvpair() function free nvpair structure.
If library will try to unpack a binary blob which contains duplicated
names it will end up with using memory after free.
To prevent that, the nvlist_move_nvpair() function interface is changed
to report about failure and checks are added to the nvpair_xunpack()
function.
