certain instructions in a function prologue or epilogue. DTrace has a
hook into the invalid opcode fault handler that checks whether the fault
was due to an probe and if so, runs the DTrace magic.
Upon returning from an invalid opcode fault caused by a probe, DTrace must
emulate the instruction that was replaced with the invalid opcode and then
return control to the instruction following the invalid opcode.
There were a pair of related bugs in the emulation for the leave
instruction. The leave instruction is used to pop off a stack frame prior
to returning from a function. The emulation for this instruction must
move the trap frame for the invalid opcode fault down the stack to the
bottom of the stack frame that is being removed, and then execute an iret.
At two points in this process, the emulation code was storing values above
the current value of the stack pointer. This opened up a window in which
if we were two take an interrupt, the trap frame for the interrupt would
overwrite the values stored on the stack, causing the system to panic
later.
The first bug was that at one point the emulation code saves the new value
for $esp above the current stack pointer value. The fix is to save this
value instead inside of the original trap frame. At this point we do
not need the original trap frame so this is safe.
The second bug is that when the emulate code loads $esp from the stack, it
points part-way through the new trap frame instead of at its beginning.
The emulation code adjusts the stack pointer to the correct value
immediately afterwards, but this still leaves a one instruction window in
which an interrupt would corrupt this trap frame. Fix this by adjusting
the stack frame value before loading it into $esp.
This fixes panics in invop_leave on i386 when using fbt return probes.

object files corresponding to source files that had the compile-with
option set in conf/files. This means that any fbt probes for functions
in that object file would not have correct argument types.
The fix is to run ctfconvert on any target file that does not have the
no-obj option set in files.

doesn't have ${WORLDTMP}/usr/bin in its PATH, if you build world with
CC=clang, tblgen tools from /usr/bin will be used instead of the ones
built under ${WORLDTMP}. This can lead to various errors, especially if
you upgrade from an older clang.
Note that building world with gcc would not experience these problems,
because it only uses the tblgen tools in the world stage, where PATH
does contain ${WORLDTMP}/usr/bin.

This implies that users who are building the driver do so with
KERNBUILDDIR set to the compile/CONFIG directory so the various
opt_* sources can be pulled in.
I need to investigate this a little closer, but it seems that in noisy
environments the NF load takes longer than 5 * DELAY(10) and this is
messing up future NF calibrations. (The background: NF calibrations
begin at the value programmed in after the load has completed, so
if this is never loaded in, the NF calibrations only ever start at
the currently calibrated NF value, rather than starting at something
high (say -50.)
More investigation about the effect on 11n RX and calibration results
are needed.

The AR5416 MAC (which shows up in the AR5008, AR9001, AR9002 devices) has
issues with PCI transactions on SMP machines. This work-around enforces
that register access is serialised through a (global for now) spinlock.
This should stop the hangs people have seen with the AR5416 PCI devices
on SMP hosts.

bootstrap-tools stage to the cross-tools stage. These tools are only
needed for generating llvm/clang include files, and are not necessary
for bootstrapping the build itself.
This shaves off some build time, because the required libraries are now
just built twice (during the cross-tools and world stages), instead of
three times.
Also, if you build world using WITHOUT_CLANG= in src.conf(5), no llvm or
clang code will be compiled at all anymore.

it's cloned and that clone is retransmitted. This means that the
ath_buf pointer squirreled away on the baw window array is suddenly
wrong and was causing all kinds of console output.
This updates the pointer in that particular BAW slot to the new
ath_buf after ensuring that:
* the new and old buffers have the same seqno;
* the current slot pointer matches the old buffer pointer.
This quietens the debugging output (again), restoring said debugging
to only signify when a broken condition has occured.

This is a bit hackish and should be made more generic (ie, support more than
two hard-coded performance counter+config register pairs) so it can be used
for mips74k and other chips.
All this does is process the initial interrupt event. It doesn't (yet) handle
callgraph events, so even if you route the exception/interrupt to this routine
and flip the bit on, it will hang and crash pmc unless you disable callgraph
support when you enable a sample based PMC.
Luckily, it mostly wasn't important, so this didn't cause major problems.
Also improve register reuse when setting up trap frames very slightly.

This quietens a lot of OFDM errors seen in hostap mode, where
there are no beacon RSSI levels to tune the dynamic range of the

This may reduce reception range at the fringes, but does increase
stability.

The 5ghz hostap mode (where DFS is being done) requires ANI to be disabled
or the radar detection parameters don't work as advertised (as they're based
on signal strength level, and tweaking ANI affects the signal strangth,
dynamic range and power increase the baseband is looking for in order to
detect it as a "signal".)

* If we fall through from an ANI command (eg because it's out of range,
or it's disabled) then fall through to the next ANI command rather then
being stuck there.
* Fix some off-by-one comparisons, meaning the final level in some parameters
