In order to use platorm backend hardware driver should
impement three methods:
- platform_start_transfer and platform_finish_transfer
to start and finish transfer
- platform_will_handle - check whether transaction is
suitable for backend. If not - driver will fall back
to PIO mode.

Switch eventtimers(9) from using struct bintime to sbintime_t.
Even before this not a single driver really supported full dynamic range of
struct bintime even in theory, not speaking about practical inexpediency.
This change legitimates the status quo and cleans up the code.
When CPU becomes idle, cpu_idleclock() calculates time to the next timer
event in order to reprogram hw timer. Return that time in sbintime_t to
the caller and pass it to acpi_cpu_idle(), where it can be used as one
more factor (quite precise) to extimate furter sleep time and choose
optimal sleep state. This is a preparatory change for further callout
improvements will be committed in the next days.
The commmit is not targeted for MFC.
The following support was added to watchdog(4):
- Support to query the outstanding timeout.
- Support to set a software pre-timeout function watchdog with an 'action'
- Support to set a software only watchdog with a configurable 'action'
'action' can be a mask specifying a single operation or a combination of:
log(9), printf(9), panic(9) and/or kdb_enter(9).
Support the following in watchdogged:
- Support to utilize the new additions to watchdog(4).
- Support to warn if a watchdog script runs for too long.
- Support for "dry run" where we do not actually arm the watchdog,
but only report on our timing.

There were still corner cases where the EWMA update stats are being

This should fix the crashes I've been seeing on recent -HEAD.
without first removing the command from the relavent queue.
This was causing panics in the queue functions which check to ensure a command
is not on another queue.
Fixed some cases where the error from mfi_mapcmd was lost and where the command
was never released / dequeued in error cases.
Ensure that all failures to mfi_mapcmd are logged.
Fixed possible null pointer exception in mfi_aen_setup if mfi_get_log_state
failed.
Fixed mfi_parse_entries & mfi_aen_setup not returning possible errors.
Corrected MFI_DUMP_CMDS calls with invalid vars SC vs sc.
Commands which have timed out now set cm_error to ETIMEDOUT and call
mfi_complete which prevents them getting stuck in the busy queue forever.
Fixed possible use of NULL pointer in mfi_tbolt_get_cmd.
Changed output formats to be more easily recognisable when debugging.
Optimised mfi_cmd_pool_tbolt cleanup.
Made information about driver limiting commands always display as for modern
cards this can be severe.
Fixed mfi_tbolt_alloc_cmd out of memory case which previously didnt return an
error.
Added malloc checks for request_desc_pool including free when subsiquent errors
are detected.
Fixed overflow error in SIMD reply descriptor check.
Fixed tbolt_cmd leak in mfi_build_and_issue_cmd if there's an error during IO
build.
Elimintated double checks on sc->mfi_aen_cm & sc->mfi_map_sync_cm in
mfi_shutdown.
Move local hdr calculation after error check in mfi_aen_complete.
Fixed wakeup on NULL in mfi_aen_complete.
Fixed mfi_aen_cm cleanup in mfi_process_fw_state_chg_isr not checking if it was
NULL.
Changed mfi_alloc_commands to error if bus_dmamap_create fails. Previously we
would try to continue with the number of allocated commands but lots of places
in the driver assume sc->mfi_max_fw_cmds is whats available so its unsafe to do
this without lots of changes.
Removed mfi_total_cmds as its no longer used due the above change.
Corrected mfi_tbolt_alloc_cmd to return ENOMEM where appropriate.
Fixed timeouts actually firing at double what they should.
Setting hw.mfi.max_cmds=-1 now configures to use the controller max.
A few style (9) fixes e.g. braced single line conditions and double blank lines
Cleaned up queuing macros
Removed invalid queuing tests for multiple queues
Trap and deal with errors when doing sends in mfi_data_cb
Refactored frame sending into one method with error checking of the return
code so we can ensure commands aren't left on the queue after error. This
ensures that mfi_mapcmd & mfi_data_cb leave the queue in a valid state.
Refactored how commands are cleaned up, mfi_release_command now ensures
that all queues and command state is maintained in a consistent state.
Prevent NULL pointer use in mfi_tbolt_complete_cmd
Fixed use of NULL sc->mfi_map_sync_cm in wakeup
Added defines to help with output of mfi_cmd and header flags.
Fixed mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue invalidating cm_index of the acquired mfi_cmd.
Reset now reinitialises sync map as well as AEN.
Fixed possible use of NULL pointer in mfi_build_and_issue_cmd
Fixed mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue call to mfi_process_fw_state_chg_isr causing
panic on failure.
Ensure that tbolt cards always initialise next_host_reply_index and
free_host_reply_index (based off mfi_max_fw_cmds) on both startup and
reset as per the linux driver.
Fixed mfi_tbolt_complete_cmd not acknowledging unknown commands so
it didn't clear the controller.
Prevent locks from being dropped and re-acquired in the following functions
which was allowing multiple threads to enter critical methods such as
mfi_tbolt_complete_cmd & mfi_process_fw_state_chg_isr:-
* mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue
* mfi_aen_complete / mfi_aen_register
* mfi_tbolt_sync_map_info
* mfi_get_log_state
* mfi_parse_entries
The locking for these functions was promoting to higher level methods. This
also fixed MFI_LINUX_SET_AEN_2 which was already acquiring the lock, so would
have paniced for recursive lock.
This also required changing malloc of ld_sync in mfi_tbolt_sync_map_info to
M_NOWAIT which can hence now fail but this was already expected as its return
was being tested.
Removed the assignment of cm_index in mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue which breaks
the world if the cmd returned by mfi_dequeue_free isn't the first cmd.
Fixed locking in mfi_data_cb, this is an async callback from bus_dmamap_load
which could hence be called after the caller has dropped the lock. If we
don't have the lock we aquire it and ensure we unlock before returning.
Fixed locking mfi_comms_init when mfi_dequeue_free fails.
Fixed mfi_build_and_issue_cmd not returning tbolt cmds aquired to the pool
on error.
Fixed mfi_abort not dropping the io lock when mfi_dequeue_free fails.
Added hw.mfi.polled_cmd_timeout sysctl that enables tuning of polled
timeouts. This shouldn't be reduced below 50 seconds as its used for
firmware patching which can take quite some time.
Added hw.mfi.fw_reset_test sysctl which is avaliable when compiled with
MFI_DEBUG and allows the testing of controller reset that was provoking a
large number of the issues encountered here.

The HAL already included the STBC fields; it just needed to be exposed

This should allow single-stream STBC TX and RX to be negotiated; however
the driver and rate control code currently don't do anything with it.

rate.
This fixes two things:
* The intermediary rates now also have their EWMA values changed;
* The existing code was using the wrong value for longtries - so the
EWMA stats were only adjusted for the first rate and not subsequent
rates in a MRR setup.
TODO:
* Merge the EWMA updates into update_stats() now..
* Remove ar5416UpdateChainmasks();
* Remove the TX chainmask override code from the ar5416 TX descriptor
setup routines;
* Write a driver method to calculate the current chainmask based on the
operating mode and update the driver state;
* Call the HAL chainmask method before calling ath_hal_reset();
* Use the currently configured chainmask in the TX descriptors rather than
the hardware TX chainmasks.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA/AP mode - legacy and 11n modes
Right now the only way to set the chainmask is to set the hardware
configured chainmask through capabilities. This is fine for forcing
the chainmask to be something other than what the hardware is capable
of (eg to reduce TX/RX to one connected antenna) but it does change what
the HAL hardware chainmask configuration is.
For operational mode changes, it (may?) make sense to separately control
the TX/RX chainmask.
Right now it's done as part of ar5416_reset.c - ar5416UpdateChainMasks()
calculates which TX/RX chainmasks to enable based on the operating mode.
(1 for legacy and whatever is supported for 11n operation.) But doing
this in the HAL is suboptimal - the driver needs to know the currently
configured chainmask in order to correctly enable things for each
TX descriptor. This is currently done by overriding the chainmask
config in the ar5416 TX routines but this has to disappear - the AR9300
HAL support requires the driver to dynamically set the TX chainmask based
on the TX power and TX rate in order to meet mini-PCIe slot power
requirements.
So:
* Introduce a new HAL method to set the operational chainmask variables;
* Introduce null methods for the previous generation chipsets;
* Add new driver state to record the current chainmask separate from
the hardware configured chainmask.
Part #2 of this will involve disabling ar5416UpdateChainMasks() and moving
it into the driver; as well as properly programming the TX chainmask
based on the currently configured HAL chainmask.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode - both legacy (11a/11bg) and 11n rates - verified
that AR_SELFGEN_MASK (the chainmask used for self-generated frames like
ACKs and RTSes) is correct, as well as the TX descriptor contents is
correct.

an incorrectly calculated RTS duration value when transmitting aggregates.
These earlier 802.11n NICs incorrectly used the ACK duration time when
calculating what to put in the RTS of an aggregate frame. Instead it
should have used the block-ack time. The result is that other stations
may not reserve enough time and start transmitting _over_ the top of
the in-progress blockack field. Tsk.
This workaround is to popuate the burst duration field with the delta
between the ACK duration the hardware is using and the required duration
for the block-ack. The result is that the RTS field should now contain
the correct duration for the subsequent block-ack.
This doesn't apply for AR9280 and later NICs.
