Atheros.
Thanks to OpenBSD for providing a driver based on the original
Atheros open source driver circa 2008. This uses the early, pre-carl9170
atheros provided firmware.
It only supports 11bg at the moment. I've not tested it with 11a
(and so the TX rate control logic may be slightly wrong!) so if
you do have the dual-band version of this hardware please do let me know.
Tested:
* AR9170, TP-Link WN821N 2GHz.
TODO:
* Hook this up to a non-module build.
CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

only gpiobus configured via FDT is supported. Bus enumeration is
supported. Devices are created for each device found. 1-Wire
temperature controllers are supported, but other drivers could be
written. Temperatures are polled and reported via a sysctl. Errors
are reported via sysctl counters. Mis-wired bus detection is included
for more trouble shooting. See ow(4), owc(4) and ow_temp(4) for
details of what's supported and known issues.
This has been tested on Raspberry Pi-B, Pi2 and Beagle Bone Black
with up to 7 devices.

I/OAT is also referred to as Crystal Beach DMA and is a Platform Storage
Extension (PSE) on some Intel server platforms.
This driver currently supports DMA descriptors only and is part of a
larger effort to upstream an interconnect between multiple systems using
the Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) PSE.
For now, this driver is only built on AMD64 platforms. It may be ported
to work on i386 later, if that is desired. The hardware is exclusive to
x86.
Further documentation on ioat(4), including API documentation and usage,
can be found in the new manual page.
Bring in a test tool, ioatcontrol(8), in tools/tools/ioat. The test
tool is not hooked up to the build and is not intended for end users.

It has nothing to share with too huge ctl.c other then device descriptor,
but even that may be counted as design error that may be fixed later.
At some point we may even want to have several ioctl ports.
Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places..
There are still several bugs, but I've been using it for a while now.
Thanks to all the testers and to Adrian for his help with this
driver.
This driver isn't connected to the build yet, but it will be soon.
There's no MFC planned because the driver isn't very stable yet.

* GENERAL
- Update copyright.
- Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set
neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna
- If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO
random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will
return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that
always blocks.
- Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went
through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird.
- Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little
suspect.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
functions to do these tasks.
- Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals.
This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack.
- Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be
there.
- Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some
behind boot verbose.
- Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup.
- Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff.
- Make relevant sysctls also tunables.
- Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements
(direct, queue, fast).
- Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the FS code.
- Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the allocator code.
- Fix the random(9) manpage.
- Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered

- Use macros for locks.

up to 2 rx/tx queues for the 82574.
Program the 82574 to enable 5 msix vectors, assign 1 to each rx queue,
1 to each tx queue and 1 to the link handler.
Inspired by DragonFlyBSD, enable some RSS logic for handling tx queue
handling/processing.
Move multiqueue handler functions so that they line up better in a diff
review to if_igb.c
Always enqueue tx work to be done in em_mq_start, if unable to acquire
the TX lock, then this will be processed in the background later by the
taskqueue. Remove mbuf argument from em_start_mq_locked() as the work
is always enqueued. (stolen from igb)
Setup TARC, TXDCTL and RXDCTL registers for better performance and stability
in multiqueue and singlequeue implementations. Handle Intel errata 3 and
generic multiqueue behavior with the initialization of TARC(0) and TARC(1)
Bind interrupt threads to cpus in order. (stolen from igb)
Add 2 new DDB functions, one to display the queue(s) and their settings and
one to reset the adapter. Primarily used for debugging.
In the multiqueue configuration, bump RXD and TXD ring size to max for the
adapter (4096). Setup an RDTR of 64 and an RADV of 128 in multiqueue configuration
to cut down on the number of interrupts. RADV was arbitrarily set to 2x RDTR
and can be adjusted as needed.
Cleanup the display in top a bit to make it clearer where the taskqueue threads
are running and what they should be doing.
Ensure that both queues are processed by em_local_timer() by writing them both
to the IMS register to generate soft interrupts.
Ensure that an soft interrupt is generated when em_msix_link() is run so that
any races between assertion of the link/status interrupt and a rx/tx interrupt
are handled.

DEBUG_FLAGS are set to DEBUG option value when kernel is built.
For example, it is -g in GENERIC config to have debug symbols.
Also DEBUG_FLAGS are used to determine if ctfconvert should keep
debug symbols.
Since we redefined DEBUG_FLAGS, debug symbols were always missing.
ctfconvert complains about it during kernel build.
It is incorrect to append DEBUG_FLAGS, since if DEBUG has no -g (or
similar), we'll have no debug symbols and ctfconvert will complain.
If it incorrect to always have -g in our DEBUG_FLAGS, since debug

The htree directory index is a highly desirable feature for research
purposes and was meant to improve performance in our ext2/3 driver.
Unfortunately our implementation has two problems:
- It never really delivered any performance improvement.
- It appears to corrupt the filesystem in undetermined circumstances.
Strictly speaking dir_index is not required for read/write support in
ext2/3 and our limited ext4 support still works fine without it.
Regain stability in the ext2 driver by removing it. We may need it back
(fixed) if we want to support encrypted ext4 support but thanks to the
