rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).

without Giant held.
A quick outline of the locking strategy:
Since all IOMMUs are synchronized, there is a single lock, iommu_mtx,
which protects the hardware registers (where needed) and the global and
per-IOMMU software states. As soon as the IOMMUs are divorced, each struct
iommu_state will have its own mutex (and the remaining global state
will be moved into the struct).
The dvma rman has its own internal mutex; the TSB slots may only be
accessed by the owner of the corresponding resource, so neither needs
extra protection.
Since there is a second access path to maps via LRU queues, the consumer-
provided locking is not sufficient; therefore, each map which is on a
queue is additionally protected by iommu_mtx (in part, there is one
member which only the map owner may access). Each map on a queue may
be accessed and removed from or repositioned in a queue in any context as
long as the lock is held; only the owner may insert a map.
To reduce lock contention, some bus_dma functions remove the map from
the queue temporarily (on behalf of the map owner) for some operations and
reinsert it when they are done. Shorter operations and operations which are
not done on behalf of the lock owner are completely covered by the lock.
To facilitate the locking, reorganize the streaming buffer handling;
while being there, fix an old oversight which would cause the streaming
buffer to always be flushed, regardless of whether streaming was enabled
in the TSB entry. The streaming buffer is still disabled for now, since
there are a number of drivers which lack critical bus_dmamp_sync() calls.

order to avoid the overhead of later page faults. In general, it
implements two cases: one for vnode-backed objects and one for
device-backed objects. Only the device-backed case is really
machine-dependent, belonging in the pmap.
This commit moves the vnode-backed case into the (relatively) new
function vm_map_pmap_enter(). On amd64 and i386, this commit only
amounts to code rearrangement. On alpha and ia64, the new machine
independent (MI) implementation of the vnode case is smaller and more
efficient than their pmap-based implementations. (The MI
implementation takes advantage of the fact that objects in -CURRENT
are ordered collections of pages.) On sparc64, pmap_object_init_pt()
hadn't (yet) been implemented.
Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please

for now. It introduces a OFW PCI bus driver and a generic OFW PCI-PCI
bridge driver. By utilizing these, the PCI handling is much more elegant
now.
The advantages of the new approach are:
- Device enumeration should hopefully be more like on Solaris now,
so unit numbers should match what's printed on the box more
closely.
- Real interrupt routing is implemented now, so cardbus bridges
etc. have at least a chance to work.
- The quirk tables are gone and have been replaced by (hopefully
sufficient) heuristics.
- Much cleaner code.
There was also a report that previously bogus interrupt assignments
are fixed now, which can be attributed to the new heuristics.
A pitfall, and the reason why this is not the default yet, is that
it changes device enumeration, as mentioned above, which can make
it necessary to change the system configuration if more than one
unit of a device type is present (on a system with two hme cars,
for example, it is possible that hme0 becomes hme1 and vice versa
after enabling the option). Systems with multiple disk controllers
may need to be booted into single user (and require manual specification
of the root file system on boot) to adjust the fstab.
Nevertheless, I would like to encourage users to use this option,
so that it can be made the default soon.
In detail, the changes are:
- Introduce an OFW PCI bus driver; it inherits most methods from the
generic PCI bus driver, but uses the firmware for enumeration,
performs additional initialization for devices and firmware-specific
interrupt routing. It also implements an OFW-specific method to allow
child devices to get their firmware nodes.
- Introduce an OFW PCI-PCI bridge driver; again, it inherits most
of the generic PCI-PCI bridge driver; it has it's own method for
interrupt routing, as well as some sparc64-specific methods (one to
get the node again, and one to adjust the bridge bus range, since
we need to reenumerate all PCI buses).
- Convert the apb driver to the new way of handling things.
- Provide a common framework for OFW bridge drivers, used be the two
drivers above.
- Provide a small common framework for interrupt routing (for all
bridge types).
- Convert the psycho driver to the new framework; this gets rid of a
bunch of old kludges in pci_read_config(), and the whole
preinitialization (ofw_pci_init()).
- Convert the ISA MD part and the EBus driver to the new way
interrupts and nodes are handled.
- Introduce types for firmware interrupt properties.
- Rename the old sparcbus_if to ofw_pci_if by repo copy (it is only
required for PCI), and move it to a more correct location (new
support methodsx were also added, and an old one was deprecated).
- Fix a bunch of minor bugs, perform some cleanups.
In some cases, I introduced some minor code duplication to keep the
new code clean, in hopes that the old code will be unifdef'ed soon.

we were passing in a void* representing the PCB of the parent thread.
Now we pass a pointer to the parent thread itself.
The prime reason for this change is to allow cpu_set_upcall() to copy
(parts of) the trapframe instead of having it done in MI code in each
caller of cpu_set_upcall(). Copying the trapframe cannot always be
done with a simply bcopy() or may not always be optimal that way. On
ia64 specifically the trapframe contains information that is specific
to an entry into the kernel and can only be used by the corresponding
exit from the kernel. A trapframe copied verbatim from another frame
is in most cases useless without some additional normalization.
Note that this change removes the assignment to td->td_frame in some
implementations of cpu_set_upcall(). The assignment is redundant.
A previous call to cpu_thread_setup() already did the exact same
assignment. An added benefit of removing the redundant assignment is
that we can now change td_pcb without nasty side-effects.
This change officially marks the ability on ia64 for 1:1 threading.

This machine uses a non-standard scheme to specify the interrupts to
be assigned for devices in PCI slots; instead of giving the INO
or full interrupt number (which is done for the other devices in this
box), the firmware interrupt properties contain intpin numbers, which
have to be swizzled as usual on PCI-PCI bridges; however, the PCI host
bridge nodes have no interrupt map, so we need to guess the
correct INO by slot number of the device or the closest PCI-PCI
bridge leading to it, and the intpin.
To do this, this fix makes the following changes:
- Add a newbus method for sparc64 PCI host bridges to guess
the INO, and glue code in ofw_pci_orb_callback() to invoke it based
on a new quirk entry. The guessing is only done for interrupt numbers
too low to contain any IGN found on e450s.
- Create another new quirk entry was created to prevent mapping of EBus
interrupts at PCI level; the e450 has full INOs in the interrupt
properties of EBus devices, so trying to remap them could cause
problems.
- Set both quirk entries for e450s; remove the no-swizzle entry.
- Determine the psycho half (bus A or B) a driver instance manages
in psycho_attach()
- Implement the new guessing method for psycho, using the slot number,
psycho half and property value (intpin).

The current name is confusing, because it indicates to
the client that a bus_dmamap_sync() operation is not
necessary when the flag is specified, which is wrong.
The main purpose of this flag is to hint the underlying
architecture that DMA memory should be mapped in a coherent
way, but the architecture can ignore it. But if the
architecture does supports coherent mapping of memory, then
it makes bus_dmamap_sync() calls cheap.

bytes of data (best for whole pages). The block load and store instructions
don't follow normal memory ordering rules and require either a memory barrier
or move between registers before the data can actually be used. This
implementation correctly shuffles around 3 out of the 4 sets of registers
in order to avoid memory barriers expect for the last 2 blocks.
will be saved if we context switch as a result of an interrupt which occured
while using the floating point registers in the kernel (which actually can't
happen right now). This allows fp disabled traps in the kernel, which
normally shouldn't happen, so make sure the trapping code is what we expect
it is.
used to support block copy and zero operations in the kernel which use the
floating point registers.
- While I'm changing the size, improve the layout of struct pcb, sort by size,
then alphabetical etc.
- Add some assertions to validate assumptions made about how the pcb is
allocated.
for temporaries relating to the state of the new process instead of the
outs, so that functions can be called without fear of clobbering them.
- Use savefpctx instead of rolling our own.
as it could be and can do with some more cleanup. Currently its under
options LAZY_SWITCH. What this does is avoid %cr3 reloads for short
context switches that do not involve another user process. ie: we can
take an interrupt, switch to a kthread and return to the user without
explicitly flushing the tlb. However, this isn't as exciting as it could
be, the interrupt overhead is still high and too much blocks on Giant
still. There are some debug sysctls, for stats and for an on/off switch.
The main problem with doing this has been "what if the process that you're
running on exits while we're borrowing its address space?" - in this case
we use an IPI to give it a kick when we're about to reclaim the pmap.
Its not compiled in unless you add the LAZY_SWITCH option. I want to fix a
few more things and get some more feedback before turning it on by default.
This is NOT a replacement for Bosko's lazy interrupt stuff. This was more
meant for the kthread case, while his was for interrupts. Mine helps a
little for interrupts, but his helps a lot more.
The stats are enabled with options SWTCH_OPTIM_STATS - this has been a
pseudo-option for years, I just added a bunch of stuff to it.
One non-trivial change was to select a new thread before calling
cpu_switch() in the first place. This allows us to catch the silly
case of doing a cpu_switch() to the current process. This happens
uncomfortably often. This simplifies a bit of the asm code in cpu_switch
(no longer have to call choosethread() in the middle). This has been
implemented on i386 and (thanks to jake) sparc64. The others will come
soon. This is actually seperate to the lazy switch stuff.

set_mcontext.
- Don't make assumptions about the alignment of the mcontext inside of the
ucontext; we have to save the floating point registers to the pcb and then
copy to the mcontext.
