Right now, ic_curchan seems to be updated rather quickly (ie, during
the ioctl) and before the driver gets notified of what's going on.
So what I was seeing was:
* NIC was in channel X;
* It generates PHY errors for channel X;
* an ioctl comes along from userland and changes things to channel Y;
* .. this updates ic_curchan, but hasn't yet reset the hardware;
* in parallel, RX is occuring and it looks at ic_curchan;
* .. which is channel Y, so events get stamped with that now.
Sigh.
into the FreeBSD boot loader, typically for non-USB aware BIOSes, EFI systems
or embedded platforms. This is also useful for out of the system compilation
of the FreeBSD USB stack for various purposes. The USB kernel files can
now optionally include a global header file which should include all needed
definitions required to compile the FreeBSD USB stack. When the global USB
header file is included, no other USB header files will be included by
default.
Add new file containing the USB stack configuration for the
FreeBSD loader build.
Replace some __FBSDID()'s by /* $FreeBSD$ */ comments. Now all
USB files follow the same style.
Use cases:
- console in loader via USB
- loading kernel via USB

bug in old versions of QEMU (and Xen, and other places using QEMU code).
On those buggy emulated UARTs, the "TX idle" interrupt gets lost; with
this workaround, we spinwait for the TX to happen and then send ourselves
the interrupt. It's ugly but it works, while minimizing the impact on
the code for the !broken_txfifo case.

If a BUSDMA load operation results in a single segment which
is greater than the PAGE_SIZE, the USB computed physical
addresses will not be correct. Make sure that the first
segment is unfolded like the sub-sequent segments are into
USB_PAGE_SIZE big ranges.

cannot be freed while do_pass_accept_req is running. This closes a race
where do_pass_establish on another CPU (the driver chose a different
queue for the new tid) expands the synq entry into a full PCB and then
releases the only hold on it, all while do_pass_accept_req is still
running.

the separate ath0 TX taskq.
Whilst here, make sure that the TX software scheduler is also
running out of the TX task, rather than the ath0 taskqueue.
Make sure that the tx taskqueue is blocked/unblocked as necessary.
This allows for a little more parallelism on multi-core machines,
as well as (eventually) supporting a higher task priority for TX
tasks, allowing said TX task to preempt an already running RX or
TX completion task.
Tested:
* AR5416, AR9280 hostap and STA modes
- Make bge_lookup_{rev,vendor}() static.
- Factor out chip identification rather than duplicating the code.
- Sanitize bge_probe() a bit (don't hardcode buffer sizes, allow
bge_lookup_vendor() to return NULL so the excessive panic() three
can be removed there, etc.) and return BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT rather than
hardcoding 0.
- According to the Linux tg3 driver, BCM57791 and BCM57795 aren't
capable of Gigabit Ethernet.
- Check the return value of taskqueue_start_threads().
- At least the Saturn chips of 501-6738 cards need a delay after freezing
the external GMII pins before the internal PHY is accessible again. So
wait a bit after (un)freezing these. Also don't touch the other bits of
that configuration register. [1]
- Take advantage of nitems().

By setting dev.netmap.fwd=1 (or enabling the feature with a per-ring flag),
packets are forwarded between the NIC and the host stack unless the
netmap client clears the NS_FORWARD flag on the individual descriptors.
This feature greatly simplifies applications where some traffic
(think of ARP, control traffic, ssh sessions...) must be processed
by the host stack, whereas the bulk is handled by the netmap process
which simply (un)marks packets that should not be forwarded.
The default is chosen so that now a netmap receiver operates
in a mode very similar to bpf.
Of course there is no free lunch: traffic to/from the host stack
still operates at OS speed (or less, as there is one extra copy in
one direction).
HOWEVER, since traffic goes to the user process before being
reinjected, and reinjection occurs in a user context, you get some
form of livelock protection for free.
Add a missing 0 to the mask for byte0 of C_SIZE.
The previous mask (0xc) worked except that the last 0-1536K of the disk
could not be accessed since we were shifting the (wrong) bits we did
mask off the right edge.

This is easily possible now that the TX is protected by a single
lock, rather than a per-TXQ (and thus per-TID) lock.
Only set CLRDMASK if none of the destinations are filtered.
This likely will need some tuning when it comes time to do UASPD/PS-POLL
TX, however at that point it should be manually set anyway.
Tested:
* AR9280, STA mode
TODO:
* More thorough testing in AP mode
* test other chipsets, just to be safe/sure.

two upcoming features:
semi-transparent mode:
when a device is opened in this mode, the
user program will be able to mark slots that must be forwarded
to the "other" side (i.e. from NIC to host stack, or viceversa),
and the forwarding will occur automatically at the next netmap syscall.
This saves the need to open another file descriptor and do
the forwarding manually.
direct-forwarding mode:
when operating with a VALE port, the user can specify in the slot
the actual destination port, overriding the forwarding decision
made by a lookup of the destination MAC. This can be useful to
implement packet dispatchers.
No API changes will be introduced.
No new functionality in this patch yet.
chip hangs.
* Always do a reset in ath_bmiss_proc(), regardless of whether the
hardware is "hung" or not. Specifically, for spectral scan, there's
likely a whole bunch of potential hangs that we don't (yet) recognise
in the HAL. So to avoid staying RX deaf persisting until the station
disassociates, just do a no-loss reset.
* Set sc_beacons=1 in STA mode. During a reset, the beacon programming
isn't done. (It's likely I need to set sc_syncbeacons during a hang
reset, but I digress.) Thus after a reset, there's no beacon timer
programming to send a BMISS interrupt if beacons aren't heard ..
thus if the AP disappears, you won't get notified and you'll have to
reset your interface.
This hasn't yet fixed all of the hangs that I've seen when debugging
spectral scan, but it's certainly reduced the hang frequency and it
should improve general STA stability in very noisy environments.
Tested:
* AR9280, STA mode, spectral scan off/on
