reducing the number of runtime checks done by the SDK code.
o) Group board/CPU information at early startup by subject matter, so that e.g.
CPU information is adjacent to CPU information and board information is
adjacent to board information.
other than UART 0 from the outset.
o) Print board information from sysinfo after consoles have been initialized
rather than doing it during boot descriptor parsing.
o) Use cvmx_safe_printf and platform_reset rather than panic when doing very
early boot descriptor parsing before the console is set up.
o) Get rid of the global octeon_bootinfo.
address passed from the bootloader, rather than using a hard-coded value.
Make FreeBSD announce itself on the LED display similar to other kernels.
Remove uses of the previous LED routines, which were under-used and only used
in drivers for what seem like debugging purposes, despite those drivers being
widely-tested.
Remove several inlines for accessing memory that duplicate other functions
which are now used instead, as they are now entirely unused.
make use of it where possible.
This primarily brings in support for newer hardware, and FreeBSD is not yet
able to support the abundance of IRQs on new hardware and many features in the
Ethernet driver.
Because of the changes to IRQs in the Simple Executive, we have to maintain our
own list of Octeon IRQs now, which probably can be pared-down and be specific
to the CIU interrupt unit soon, and when other interrupt mechanisms are added
they can maintain their own definitions.
Remove unmasking of interrupts from within the UART device now that the
function used is no longer present in the Simple Executive. The unmasking
seems to have been gratuitous as this is more properly handled by the buses
above the UART device, and seems to work on that basis.
2MB of memory in the bootmem allocator for the SDK to use internally at a later
point. It'd be nice if there were some functions we could call before
allocating memory to let various facilities reserve some memory, but for now
this seems sufficient. Previously some unfortunate systems could give up all
(or at least most) of their memory to the kernel from bootmem, and then
allocating command queues for packet output and the like would fail later in
the boot process (which in turn would lead to crashes even later.)

facilities as well as support for the Octeon 2 family of SoCs.
XXX Note that with our antediluvian assembler, we can't support some Octeon 2
instructions and fall back to using the old ones instead.
library:
o) Increase inline unit / large function growth limits for MIPS to accommodate
the needs of the Simple Executive, which uses a shocking amount of inlining.
o) Remove TARGET_OCTEON and use CPU_CNMIPS to do things required by cnMIPS and
the Octeon SoC.
o) Add OCTEON_VENDOR_LANNER to use Lanner's allocation of vendor-specific
board numbers, specifically to support the MR320.
o) Add OCTEON_BOARD_CAPK_0100ND to hard-wire configuration for the CAPK-0100nd,
which improperly uses an evaluation board's board number and breaks board
detection at runtime. This board is sold by Portwell as the CAM-0100.
o) Add support for the RTC available on some Octeon boards.
o) Add support for the Octeon PCI bus. Note that rman_[sg]et_virtual for IO
ports can not work unless building for n64.
o) Clean up the CompactFlash driver to use Simple Executive macros and
structures where possible (it would be advisable to use the Simple Executive
API to set the PIO mode, too, but that is not done presently.) Also use
structures from FreeBSD's ATA layer rather than structures copied from
Linux.
o) Print available Octeon SoC features on boot.
o) Add support for the Octeon timecounter.
o) Use the Simple Executive's routines rather than local copies for doing reads
and writes to 64-bit addresses and use its macros for various device
addresses rather than using local copies.
o) Rename octeon_board_real to octeon_is_simulation to reduce differences with
Cavium-provided code originally written for Linux. Also make it use the
same simplified test that the Simple Executive and Linux both use rather
than our complex one.
o) Add support for the Octeon CIU, which is the main interrupt unit, as a bus
to use normal interrupt allocation and setup routines.
o) Use the Simple Executive's bootmem facility to allocate physical memory for
the kernel, rather than assuming we know which addresses we can steal.
NB: This may reduce the amount of RAM the kernel reports you as having if
you are leaving large temporary allocations made by U-Boot allocated
when starting FreeBSD.
o) Add a port of the Cavium-provided Ethernet driver for Linux. This changes
Ethernet interface naming from rgmxN to octeN. The new driver has vast
improvements over the old one, both in performance and functionality, but
does still have some features which have not been ported entirely and there
may be unimplemented code that can be hit in everyday use. I will make
every effort to correct those as they are reported.
o) Support loading the kernel on non-contiguous cores.
o) Add very conservative support for harvesting randomness from the Octeon
random number device.
o) Turn SMP on by default.
o) Clean up the style of the Octeon kernel configurations a little and make
them compile with -march=octeon.
o) Add support for the Lanner MR320 and the CAPK-0100nd to the Simple
Executive.
o) Modify the Simple Executive to build on FreeBSD and to build without
executive-config.h or cvmx-config.h. In the future we may want to
revert part of these changes and supply executive-config.h and
cvmx-config.h and access to the options contained in those files via
kernel configuration files.
o) Modify the Simple Executive USB routines to support getting and setting
of the USB PID.
attributes for XKPHYS.
o) Make coprocessor 0 accessor function macros for register+selector registers
take the full name so that e.g. (as done in this commit), prid selector 1
can be written through mips_wr_ebase() rather than mips_wr_prid1().
o) Allow for sign extension of 32-bit segment addresses.
o) Remove an unused MIPS-I register number.
same time.
o) Remove some unused trivial uart functions from octeon_machdep now that the
uart part is fully working and they are unused.
o) Use __func__ instead of __FUNCTION__.
o) Use intr_*() instead of other routines that do the same thing.
o) Remove some duplicate printfs from the Octeon port, as well as duplicate
setting of Maxmem.
o) Use the right frequency divider on Octeon.
o) Use PCPU_GET(cpuid) consistently to get the cpuid of the running core.
o) Remove some unused macros in the Octeon port.
o) Use mips_sync() around use of the global dpcpu, whose value may not be
visible to APs at first.
o) When loading the first thread's stack, use macros to make the code correct
for n64 as well.
o) Remove stub, do-nothing FAU init/enable/disable functions from the RGMX
driver.
o Force the ebase to be 0x80000000 (the base that we're booted with may
need to be respected in the future).
o Initialize the clock early so we can initialize the console early
o use panic where we can now use it.
o Tag some code for parsing the boot records as belonging in the cavium sdk.
o remove support for booting on ancient boards...
# we make it further in bootstrapping now: interrupts being enabled in the
# uarts are now taking us out, it seems, for reasons unknown.
the Cavium version of the boot loader puts data just after &end, so
our rounding up to the next page in clearing memory overwrote their
data, which meant we'd get a lot of wrong values for parameters to the
system.
While I'm here, remove argc/argv parsing. Those values aren't passed
in via a0 and a1, so it was a guaranted panic on some boards.
Copy the support files for the Octeon 1 CPU from sys/mips/octeon1 on
the projects/mips side to sys/mips/cavium on the head side to conform
to the other vendor code. This code was contributed by Cavium to the
project and forward ported by Warner Losh, with some additional code
from Randal Stewart.
# I'll fix the building problems the move creates in a future commit.
