of the struct, so that a placeholder for it (or unportable C99
initializers) are not needed for entries that don't use it. Use a C99
initializer for the 1 entry that uses it. Removed 91 placeholders.
This also restores API compatibility with NetBSD and RELENG_4 for most
entries.
+ remove useless wrappers around bcmp(), bcopy(), bzero().
The code assumes that bcmp() returns 0 if the size is 0, but
this is true for both the libc and the libkern versions.
+ nuke Bcmp, Bzero, Bcopy from radix.h now that nobody uses them anymore.
Removed the requirement for a particular subvendor/subproduct in
rev.1.26 (VScom PCI-800L card). While the BARs, etc., may depend on
the sub-ids, this is not known to be so, and I think it is better to
guess that they don't. The decision to check sub-id checks in this
file is apparently random; for VScom cards they were checked in 3 of
8 cases.

+ replace 5 redefinitions of the IPF2AC macro with one in if_arp.h
Eventually (but before freezing the ABI) we need to get rid of
struct arpcom (initially with the help of some smart #defines
to avoid having to touch each and every driver, see below).
Apart from the struct ifnet, struct arpcom now only stores a copy
of the MAC address (ac_enaddr, but we already have another copy in
the struct ifnet -- if_addrhead), and a netgraph-specific field
which is _always_ accessed through the ifp, so it might well go
into the struct ifnet too (where, besides, there is already an entry
for AF_NETGRAPH data...)
Too bad ac_enaddr is widely referenced by all drivers. But
this can be fixed as follows:
#define ac_enaddr ac_if.the_original_ac_enaddr_in_struct_ifnet
(note that the right hand side would likely be a pointer rather than
the base address of an array.)
+ replace 0 with NULL where appropriate (not complete)
+ remove register declaration while there
+ add argument names to function prototypes to have a better idea of
what they are used for
+ add 'const' qualifiers in 3 places
Nehemiah chip, but the work is all done in hardware.
There are three opportunities to add other entropy; the Data
Buffer, the Cipher's IV and the Cipher's key. A future commit
will exploit these opportunities.
+ remove a partly incorrect comment that i introduced in the last commit;
+ deal with the correct part of the above comment by cleaning up the
updates of 'info' -- rti_addrs needd not to be updated,
rti_info[RTAX_IFP] can be set once outside the loop.
While at it, correct a few misspelling of NULL as 0, but there are
way too many in this file, and i did not want to clutter the
important part of this commit.
Logical volumes on these devices show up as LUNs behind another
controller (also known as proxy controller). In order to issue
firmware commands for a volume on a proxy controller, they must be
targeted at the address of the proxy controller it is attached to,
not the Host/PCI controller.
A proxy controller is defined as a device listed in the INQUIRY
PHYSICAL LUNS command who's L2 and L3 SCSI addresses are zero. The
corresponding address returned defines which "bus" the controller
lives on and we use this to create a virtual CAM bus.
A logical volume's addresses first byte defines the logical drive
number. The second byte defines the bus that it is attached to
which corresponds to the BUS of the proxy controller's found or the
Host/PCI controller.
Change event notification to be handled in its own kernel thread.
This is needed since some events may require the driver to sleep
on some operations and this cannot be done during interrupt context.
With this change, it is now possible to create and destroy logical
volumes from FreeBSD, but it requires a native application to
construct the proper firmware commands which is not publicly
available.
Special thanks to John Cagle @ HP for providing remote access to
all the hardware and beating on the storage engineers at HP to
answer my questions.
Specifically, we used to enable the source after locking sched_lock
and just before we had already decided to do a context switch.
This meant that an ithread could never process more than one interrupt
per context switch. Enabling earlier in the loop before sched_lock is
acquired allows an ithread to handle multiple interrupts per context
switch if interrupts fire very rapidly. For the case of heavy interrupt
load this can reduce the number of context switches (and thus overhead)
as well as reduce interrupt latency.
- Now that we can handle multiple interrupts per context switch, add simple
interrupt storm protection to threaded interrupts. If X number of
consecutive interrupts are triggered before the itherad voluntarily
yields to another thread, then the interrupt thread will sleep with the
associated interrupt source disabled (masked) for 1/10th of a second.
The default value of X is 500, but it can be tweaked via the tunable/
sysctl hw.intr_storm_threshold. If an interrupt storm is detected, then
a message is output to the kernel console on the first occurrence per
interrupt thread. Interrupt storm protection can be disabled completely
by setting this value to 0. There is no scientific reasoning for the
1/10th of a second or 500 interrupts values, so they may require tweaking
at some point in the future.
Tested by: rwatson (an earlier version w/o the storm protection)
Tested by: mux (reportedly made a machine with two PCI interrupts
storming usable rather than hard locked)

different BIOSs use the same exact settings to mean two very different and
incompatible things for the SCI. Thus, if the SCI is remapped to a PCI
interrupt, we now trust the trigger/polarity that the MADT provides by
default. However, the SCI can be forced to level/lo as 1.10 did by setting
the tunable "hw.acpi.force_sci_lo" to a non-zero value from the loader.
Thus, if rev 1.10 caused an interrupt storm, it should nwo fix your
machine. If rev 1.10 fixed an interrupt storm on your machine, you
probably need to set the aforementioned tunable in /boot/loader.conf to
prevent the interrupt storm.
The more general problem of getting the SCI's trigger/polarity programmed
"correctly" (for some value of correctly meaning several workarounds for
broken BIOSs and inconsistent "implementations" of the ACPI standard) is
going to require more work, but this band-aid should improve the current
situation somewhat.

uiomove(9) is not properly locked. So, return to NEEDGIANT
mode. Later, when uiomove is finely locked, I'll revisit.
While I'm here, provide some temporary debugging output to
help catch blocking startups.
unconditionally initialize the mbuf header even if cluster allocation
failed, which could result in a NULL pointer dereference in low-memory
conditions.
