array, similar to what filltxdesc() uses.
This removes the last reference to ds_data in the TX path outside of
debugging statements. These need to be adjusted/fixed.
Tested:
* AR9280 STA/AP with iperf TCP traffic
The existing API only exposes 'seglen' (the current buffer (segment) length)
with the data buffer pointer set in 'ds_data'. This is fine for the legacy
DMA engine but it won't work for the EDMA engines.
The EDMA engine has a significantly different TX descriptor layout.
* The legacy DMA engine had a ds_data pointer at the same offset in the
descriptor for both TX and RX buffers;
* The EDMA engine has no ds_data for RX - the data is DMAed after the
descriptor;
* The EDMA engine has support for 4 TX buffer/segment pairs in the TX
DMA descriptor;
* The EDMA TX completion is in a different FIFO, and the driver will
'link' the status completion entry to a QCU by a "QCU ID".
I don't know why it's just not filled in by the hardware, alas.
So given that, here are the changes:
* Instead of directly fondling 'ds_data' in ath_desc, change the
ath_hal_filltxdesc() to take an array of buffer pointers as well
as segment len pointers;
* The EDMA TX completion status wants a descriptor and queue id.
This (for now) uses bf_state.bfs_txq and will extract the hardware QCU
ID from that.
* .. and this is ugly and wasteful; it should change to just store
the QCU in the bf_state and save 3/7 bytes in the process.
Now, the weird crap:
* The aggregate TX path was using bf_state->bfs_txq for the TXQ, rather than
taking a function argument. I've tidied that up.
* The multicast queue frames get put on a software TXQ and then that is
appended to the hardware CABQ when appropriate. So for now, make sure
that bf_state->bfs_txq points at the CABQ when adding frames to the
multicast queue.
* .. but the multicast queue TX path for now doesn't use the software
queue and instead
(a) directly sets up the descriptor contents at that point;
(b) the frames on the vap->avp_mcastq are then just appended wholesale
to the CABQ.
So for now, I don't have to worry about making the multicast path
work with aggregation or the per-TID software queue. Phew.
What's left to do:
* I need to modify the 11n ath_hal_chaintxdesc() API to do the same.
I'll do that in a subsequent commit.
* Remove bf_state.bfs_txq entirely and store the QCU as appropriate.
* .. then do the runtime "is this going on the right HWQ?" checks using
that, rather than comparing pointer values.
Tested on:
* AR9280 STA/AP
* AR5416 STA/AP
Use the interface number from the USB interface descriptor
like in the other USB serial drivers. These numbers are not
supposed to be different, though in theory they can. Make sure
that the driver then uses the interface number given by the USB
descriptor, and not the logical index of the USB stack.
For the future:
Whenever the term "index" is used in the USB code, it refers to
a number computed by the USB stack.
Whenever the term "number" is used in the USB code, it refers to
a number in a USB descriptor.

code is called and remove it from ath_buf_set_rate().
For the legacy (non-11n API) TX routines, ath_hal_filltxdesc() takes care
of setting up the intermediary and final descriptors right, complete
with copying the rate control info into the final descriptor so the
rate modules can grab it.
The 11n version doesn't do this - ath_hal_chaintxdesc() doesn't
copy the rate control bits over, nor does it clear isaggr/moreaggr/
pad delimiters. So the call to setuplasttxdesc() is needed here.
So:
* legacy NICs - never call the 11n rate control stuff, so filltxdesc
copies the rate control info right;
* 11n NICs transmitting legacy or 11n non-aggregate frames -
ath_hal_set11nratescenario() is called to setup rate control and
then ath_hal_filltxdesc() chains them together - so the rate control
info is right;
* 11n aggregate frames - set11nratescenario() is called, then
ath_hal_chaintxdesc() is called to chain a list of aggregate and subframes
together. This requires a call to ath_hal_setuplasttxdesc() to complete

For C1 and C2 states use cpu_ticks() to measure sleep time instead of much

less important there as wake up latency is high any way.
For C1 and C2 states do not check/clear bus mastering activity status, as
it is important only for C3. As side effect it can make CPU enter C2 instead
of C3 if last BM activity was two sleeps back (unlike one before), but
that may be even good because of collecting more statistics. Premature BM

I found 8.3 is a history BSD version using socket to implement FIFO
pipe, it uses per-file seqcount to compare with writer generation
stored in per-pipe object. The concept is after all writers are gone,
the pipe enters next generation, all old readers have not closed the
pipe should get the indication that the pipe is disconnected, result
is they should get EPIPE, SIGPIPE or get POLLHUP in poll().
But newcomer should not know that previous writters were gone, it
should treat it as a fresh session.
I am trying to bring back FIFO pipe to history behavior. It is still
unclear that if single EOF flag can represent SBS_CANTSENDMORE and
SBS_CANTRCVMORE which socket-based version is using, but I have run
the poll regression test in tool directory, output is same as the one
on 8.3-STABLE now.
I think the output "not ok 18 FIFO state 6b: poll result 0 expected 1.
expected POLLHUP; got 0" might be bogus, because newcomer should not
know that old writers were gone. I got the same behavior on Linux.
Our implementation always return POLLIN for disconnected pipe even it
should return POLLHUP, but I think it is not wise to remove POLLIN for
compatible reason, this is our history behavior.

Clean up and make clear what kind of firmware we've loaded and
what capabilities it has.
-----------
FULL (252 byte) SENSE DATA
In CTIOs for the ISP, there's only a limimted amount of space
to load SENSE DATA for associated CHECK CONDITIONS (24 or 26
bytes). This makes it difficult to send full SENSE DATA that can
be up to 252 bytes.
Implement MODE 2 responses which have us build the FCP Response
in system memory which the ISP will put onto the wire directly.
On the initiator side, the same problem occurs in that a command
status response only has a limited amount of space for SENSE DATA.
This data is supplemented by status continuation responses that
the ISP pushes onto the response queue after the status response.
We now pull them all together so that full sense data can be
returned to the periph driver.
This is supported on 23XX, 24XX and 25XX cards.
This is also preparation for doing >16 byte CDBs.
-----------
FC TAPE
Implement full FC-TAPE on both initiator and target mode side. This
capability is driven by firmware loaded, board type, board NVRAM
settings, or hint configuration options to enable or disable. This
is supported for 23XX, 24XX and 25XX cards.
On the initiator side, we pretty much just have to generate a command
reference number for each command we send out. This is FCP-4 compliant
in that we do this per ITL nexus to generate the allowed 1 thru 255
CRN.
In order to support the target side of FC-TAPE, we now pay attention
to more of the PRLI word 3 parameters which will tell us whether
an initiator wants confirmed responses. While we're at it, we'll
pay attention to the initiator view too and report it.
On sending back CTIOs, we will notice whether the initiator wants
confirmed responses and we'll set up flags to do so.
If a response or data frame is lost the initiator sends us an SRR
(Sequence Retransmit Request) ELS which shows up as an SRR notify
and all outstanding CTIOs are nuked with SRR Received status. The
SRR notify contains the offset that the initiator wants us to restart
the data transfer from or to retransmit the response frame.
If the ISP driver still has the CCB around for which the data segment
or response applies, it will retransmit.
However, we typically don't know about a lost data frame until we
send the FCP Response and the initiator totes up counters for data
moved and notices missing segments. In this case we've already
completed the data CCBs already and sent themn back up to the periph
driver. Because there's no really clean mechanism yet in CAM to
handle this, a hack has been put into place to complete the CTIO
CCB with the CAM_MESSAGE_RECV status which will have a MODIFY DATA
POINTER extended message in it. The internal ISP target groks this
and ctl(8) will be modified to deal with this as well.
At any rate, the data is retransmitted and an an FCP response is
sent. The whole point here is to successfully complete a command
so that you don't have to depend on ULP (SCSI) to have to recover,
which in the case of tape is not really possible (hence the name
FC-TAPE).

Modify MIPS page table entry (PTE) initialisation so that cachability
bits are set only once, using is_cacheable_mem() to determine what
caching properties are required, rather than also unconditionally
setting PTE_C_CACHE in init_pte_prot(). As PTE_C_CACHE |
PTE_C_UNCACHED == PTE_C_CACHE, this meant that all userspace memory
mappings of device memory (incorrectly) used caching TLB entries.
This is arguably not quite what we want, even though it is (more)
consistent with the MIPS pmap design: PTE caching properties should
be derived from machine-independent page table attributes, but this
is a substantially more complex change as the MIPS pmap doesn't yet
know about page attributes, causing it to ignore requests by device
drivers that want uncached userspace memory mappings as they
describe memory-mapped FIFOs or shared memory with a device not
participating in the cache coherence scheme.
This fixes cacheability issues (specifically, undesired and
unrequested caching) seen in userspace memory mappings of Avalon SoC

for which aliases exist but no actual hardware is connected
- avoids issues due to different diskN naming schemes
- aligns us with Solaris

* shuffle things around so things fall on natural padding boundaries;
* add a couple of new flags to specify LDPC and whether to switch to the
low power RX chain configuration after this TX has completed.

Specifically, however:
* AR9280 and later support 1-stream STBC RX;
* AR9280 and AR9287 support 1-stream STBC TX.
The STBC support isn't announced (yet) via net80211 and it isn't at all
chosen by the rate control code, so there's no real consumer of this
yet.

(future) TPC support in the AR9300 HAL.
This is effectively a no-op for the moment as (a) TPC isn't really
supported, (b) the AR9300 HAL isn't yet public, and (c) the existing
HAL code doesn't use these fields.

buffers.
ath_descdma is now being used for things other than the classical
combination of ath_buf + ath_desc allocations. In this particular case,
don't try to free and blank out the ath_buf list if it's not passed in.
of buffers, only the number of descriptors.
This involves:
* Change the allocation function to not use nbuf at all;
* When calling it, pass in "nbuf * ndesc" to correctly update how many
descriptors are being allocated.
Whilst here, fix the descriptor allocation code to correctly allocate
a larger buffer size if the Merlin 4KB WAR is required. It overallocates
descriptors when allocating a block that doesn't ever have a 4KB boundary
being crossed, but that can be fixed at a later stage.
off da0s1a instead of ate0. Note that MMC/SD is slot B. Until I
switch over to NAND boot, dataflash booting will preclude having SD
cards inserted at boot, so this last bit is untested.

VALE lets you dynamically instantiate multiple software bridges
that talk the netmap API (and are *extremely* fast), so you can test
netmap applications without the need for high end hardware.
This is particularly useful as I am completing a netmap-aware
version of ipfw, and VALE provides an excellent testing platform.
Also, I also have netmap backends for qemu mostly ready for commit
to the port, and this too will let you interconnect virtual machines
at high speed without fiddling with bridges, tap or other slow solutions.
The API for applications is unchanged, so you can use the code
in tools/tools/netmap (which i will update soon) on the VALE ports.
This commit also syncs the code with the one in my internal repository,
so you will see some conditional code for other platforms.
The code should run mostly unmodified on stable/9 so people interested
in trying it can just copy sys/dev/netmap/ and sys/net/netmap*.h
