all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet directly. Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering, before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver. There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction (tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first 128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing. The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual. /* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */ # cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 tx0 (watch what cxl0 is transmitting) # cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 rx0 (watch what cxl0 is receiving) # cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list # tcpdump -i t5nex0 <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K "frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that were actually transmitted. /* all done */ # cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 disable # cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 disable # cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list # ifconfig t5nex0 destroy
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
