MFC r319872, r321063, r321582, r322034, r322425, r322962, r322985,
r325596, r326026, r328420, r331472, r333276, r333650, r333652, r334406,
r334409-r334410, r334489, r336042, r340651, r342603, and r345083.

This updates the cxgbe firmwares in stable/10 and also pulls in support
for some newer boards and flash parts.

r319872:
cxgbe(4): Do not request an FEC setting that the port does not support.

r321063:
cxgbe(4): Various link/media related improvements.

r321582:
cxgbe(4): Some updates to the common code.

r322034:
cxgbe(4): Always use the first and not the last virtual interface
associated with a port in begin_synchronized_op.

r322425:
cxgbe(4): Save the last reported link parameters and compare them with
the current state to determine whether to generate a link-state change
notification. This fixes a bug introduced in r321063 that caused the
driver to sometimes skip these notifications.

r322962:
cxgbe(4): Remove write only variable from t4_port_init.

r322985:
cxgbe(4): Maintain one ifmedia per physical port instead of one per
Virtual Interface (VI). All autonomous VIs that share a port share the
same media.

r325596:
cxgbe(4): Do not request settings not supported by the port.

r326026:
cxgbe(4): Add a custom board to the device id list.

r328420:
cxgbe(4): Do not display harmless warning in non-debug builds.

r331472:
cxgbe(4): Always initialize requested_speed to a valid value.

This fixes an avoidable EINVAL when the user tries to disable AN after
the port is initialized but l1cfg doesn't have a valid speed to use.

r333276:
cxgbe(4): Update all firmwares to 1.19.1.0.

r333650:
cxgbe(4): Claim some more T5 and T6 boards.

r333652:
cxgbe(4): Add support for two more flash parts.

r334406:
cxgbe(4): Consider all supported speeds when building the ifmedia list
for a port. Fix other related issues while here:
- Require port lock for access to link_config.
- Allow 100Mbps operation by tracking the speed in Mbps. Yes, really.
- New port flag to indicate that the media list is immutable. It will
be used in future refinements.

This also fixes a bug where the driver reports incorrect media with
recent firmwares.

r334409:
cxgbe(4): Implement ifm_change callback.

r334410:
cxgbe(4): Use ifm for ifmedia just like the rest of the kernel.

No functional change.

r334489:
cxgbe(4): Include full duplex mediaopt in media that can be reported as
active. Always report full duplex in active media.

r336042:
cxgbe(4): Assume that any unknown flash on the card is 4MB and has 64KB
sectors, instead of refusing to attach to the card.

r340651:
cxgbe(4): Update T4/5/6 firmwares to 1.22.0.3.

r342603:
cxgbe(4): Attach to two T540 variants.

r345083:
cxgbe(4): Update T4/5/6 firmwares to 1.23.0.0.


# 318855 25-May-2017 np

MFC r318014, r318091, r318125, and r318263.

r318014:
cxgbe(4): Fixes related to the knob that controls link autonegotiation.

- Do not leak the adapter lock in sysctl_autoneg.
- Accept only 0 or 1 as valid settings for autonegotiation.
- A fixed speed must be requested by the driver when autonegotiation is
disabled otherwise the firmware will reject the l1cfg command. Use
the top speed supported by the port for now.

r318091:
cxgbe(4): Do not assume that if_qflush is always followed by inteface-down.

r318125:
Adjust whitespace and fix a comment. No functional change.

r318263:
cxgbe(4): netmap-only interrupts for a VI do not have an associated rxq
or ofld_rxq and should be ignored by vi_intr_iq.

# 318851 25-May-2017 np

MFC r317702, r317847, r318307

r317702:
cxgbe(4): Support routines for Tx traffic scheduling.

- Create a new file, t4_sched.c, and move all of the code related to
traffic management from t4_main.c and t4_sge.c to this file.
- Track both Channel Rate Limiter (ch_rl) and Class Rate Limiter (cl_rl)
parameters in the PF driver.
- Initialize all the cl_rl limiters with somewhat arbitrary default
rates and provide routines to update them on the fly.
- Provide routines to reserve and release traffic classes.

r317847:
cxgbe(4): The Tx scheduler initialization either works or doesn't. It
doesn't need a refresh in either case.

r318307:
cxgbe(4): Avoid an out of bounds access when an attempt to unbind a tx
queue from a traffic class fails.

# 318840 25-May-2017 np

MFC r316971:

cxgbe: Add a tunable to configure the SGE time scaler, which is
available starting with T6. The values in the timer holdoff registers
are multiplied by the scaling factor before use.

dev.<nexus>.<n>.holdoff_timers shows the final values of the
timers in microseconds.

# 312186 14-Jan-2017 np

MFC r311831 and r311832.

r311831:
cxgbe(4): The wraparound logic in start_wrq_wr() should not get involved
in work requests that end at the end of the descriptor ring, even though
the pidx wraps around to 0.

r311832:
cxgbe(4): Enable automatic cidx flush for all control queues.


# 311261 04-Jan-2017 np

MFC r309666, r310033, r310049, r310100, r310152, and r310807.

r309666:
cxgbe(4): unsigned short isn't large enough to store link speed (which
is in Mbps) for 100Gbps links.

r310033:
cxgbe(4): Retire t4_bus_space_read_8 and t4_bus_space_write_8.

r310049:
cxgbe(4): Fix the tid range shown for T6 cards in misc.tids.

r310100:
cxgbe(4): Deal with compressed error vectors.

r310152:
cxgbe(4): Fix typo in an unused macro.

r310807:
cxgbe(4): Updates to link configuration.

- Update struct link_settings and associated shared code.

- Add tunables to control FEC and autonegotiation. All ports inherit
these values as their initial settings.
hw.cxgbe.fec
hw.cxgbe.autoneg

- Add per-port sysctls to control FEC and autonegotiation. These can be
modified at any time.
dev.<port>.<n>.fec
dev.<port>.<n>.autoneg


# 309579 05-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 307876:
cxgbe(4): Fix bug in the calculation of the number of physically
contiguous regions in an mbuf chain.

If the payload of an mbuf ends at a page boundary count_mbuf_nsegs would
incorrectly consider the next mbuf's payload physically contiguous based
solely on a KVA comparison.


# 309564 05-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 306277:
cxgbe(4): Make the location/length of all descriptor rings available in
the sysctl MIB.


# 309560 05-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 305695,305696,305699,305702,305703,305713,305715,305827,305852,305906,
305908,306062,306063,306137,306138,306206,306216,306273,306295,306301,
306465,309302:
Add support for adapters using the Terminator T6 ASIC.

305695:
cxgbe(4): Set up fl_starve_threshold2 accurately for T6.

305696:
cxgbe(4): Use correct macro for header length with T6 ASICs. This
affects the transmit of the VF driver only.

305699:
cxgbe(4): Update the pad_boundary calculation for T6, which has a
different range of boundaries.

305702:
cxgbe(4): Use smaller min/max bursts for fl descriptors with a T6.

305703:
cxgbe(4): Deal with the slightly different SGE_STAT_CFG in T6.

305713:
cxgbe(4): Add support for additional port types and link speeds.

305715:
cxgbe(4): Catch up with the rename of tlscaps -> cryptocaps. TLS is one
of the capabilities of the crypto engine in T6.

305827:
cxgbe(4): Use the interface's viid to calculate the PF/VF/VFValid fields
to use in tx work requests.

305852:
cxgbe(4): Attach to cards with the Terminator 6 ASIC. T6 cards will
come up as 't6nex' nexus devices with 'cc' ports hanging off them.

The T6 firmware and configuration files will be added as soon as they
are released. For now the driver will try to work with whatever
firmware and configuration is on the card's flash.

305906:
cxgbe/t4_tom: The SMAC entry for a VI is at a different location in the T6.

305908:
cxgbe/t4_tom: Update the active/passive open code to support T6. Data
path works as-is.

306062:
cxgbe(4): Show wcwr_stats for T6 cards.

306063:
cxgbe(4): Setup congestion response for T6 rx queues.

306137:
cxgbetool: Add T6 support to the SGE context decoder.

306138:
Fix typo.

306206:
cxgbe(4): Catch up with the different layout of WHOAMI in T6.

Note that the code moved below t4_prep_adapter() as part of this change
because now it needs a working chip_id().

306216:
cxgbe(4): Fix the output of the "tids" sysctl on T6.

306273:
cxgbe(4): Fix netmap with T6, which doesn't encapsulate SGE_EGR_UPDATE
message inside a FW_MSG. The base NIC already deals with updates in
either form.

306295:
cxgbe(4): Support SIOGIFXMEDIA so that ifconfig displays correct media
for 25Gbps and 100Gbps ports. This should have been part of r305713,
which is when the driver first started reporting extended media types.

306301:
cxgbe(4): Use the port's top speed to figure out whether it is "high
speed" or not (for the purpose of calculating the number of queues etc.)
This does the right thing for 25Gbps and 100Gbps ports.

306465:
cxgbe(4): Claim the T6 -DBG card.

309302:
cxgbe(4): Include firmware for T6 cards in the driver. Update all
firmwares to 1.16.12.0.

MFC 305652: cxgbe(4): Do not prescreen frames before attempting LRO.


# 309458 02-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 302440,304873,305704,305985,306787,307531: Fixes for sysctls.

302440:
cxgbe(4): Add sysctl to display the RSS indirection table size for an
interface.

dev.cxl.<n>.rss_size
dev.vcxl.<n>.rss_size

304873:
cxgbe(4): Provide more details about the card in the sysctl MIB.

dev.t5nex.0.tp_version: 0.1.4.9
dev.t5nex.0.firmware_version: 1.16.2.0

305704:
cxgbe(4): Rename the debug_flags driver tunable/sysctl to dflags.
Tunables that end with _flags are special.

305985:
cxgbe(4): Fixes to wrq stats.

- Increment tx_wrs_copied in the correct place.
- Add tx_wrs_sspace to the sysctl MIB.

306787:
cxgbe(4): Fix whitespace in the pm_stats display.

307531:
cxgbe(4): Adjust whitespace to line up the column titles in cim_qcfg
with the values displayed.

# 309449 02-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 303859,305851: Fix a typo and some whitespace nits.


# 309448 02-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 303454: Mark spg_len and fl_pktshift static.

These variables are no longer exported to t4_netmap.c after r296478.


# 309447 02-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 303522,303647,303860,303880,304168-304170,304479,304482,304485,305548,
305549:
Chelsio T4/T5 VF driver.

303522:
Various fixes to the t4/5nex character device.

- Remove null open/close methods.
- Don't set d_flags to 0 explicitly.
- Remove t5_cdevsw as the .d_name member isn't really used and doesn't
warrant a separate cdevsw just for the name.
- Use ENOTTY as the error value for an unknown ioctl request.
- Use make_dev_s() to close race with setting si_drv1.

303647:
Store the offset of the KDOORBELL and GTS registers in the softc.

VF devices use a different register layout than PF devices. Storing
the offset in a value in the softc allows code to be shared between the
PF and VF drivers.

303860:
Reserve an adapter flag IS_VF to mark VF devices vs PF devices.

303880:
Track the base absolute ID of ingress and egress queues.

Use this to map an absolute queue ID to a logical queue ID in interrupt
handlers. For the regular cxgbe/cxl drivers this should be a no-op as
the base absolute ID should be zero. VF devices have a non-zero base
absolute ID and require this change. While here, export the absolute ID
of egress queues via a sysctl.

304168:
Make SGE parameter handling more VF-friendly.

Add fields to hold the SGE control register and free list buffer sizes to
the sge_params structure. Populate these new fields in
t4_init_sge_params() for PF devices and change t4_read_chip_settings() to
pull these values out of the params structure instead of reading
registers directly. This will permit t4_read_chip_settings() to be reused
for VF devices which cannot read SGE registers directly.

While here, move the call to t4_init_sge_params() to
get_params__post_init(). The VF driver will populate the SGE parameters
structure via a different method before calling t4_read_chip_settings().

304169:
Update mailbox writes to work with VF devices.

- Use alternate register locations for the data and control registers for
VFs.
- Do a dummy read to force the writes to the mailbox data registers to
post before the write to the control register on VFs.
- Do not check the PCI-e firmware register for errors on VFs.

304170:
Add support for register dumps on VF devices.

- Add handling of VF register sets to t4_get_regs_len() and t4_get_regs().
- While here, use t4_get_regs_len() in the ioctl handler for regdump
instead of inlining it.

304479:
Add structures for VF-specific adapter parameters.

While here, mark which parameters are PF-specific and which are
VF-specific.

304482:
Adjust t4_port_init() to work with VF devices.

Specifically, the FW_PORT_CMD may or may not work for a VF (the PF
driver can choose whether or not to permit access to this command),
so don't attempt to fetch port information on a VF if permission is
denied by the PF.

304485:
Reorder sysctls so that nodes shared with the VF driver are added first.

This permits a single early return for VF devices in the routines that
add sysctl nodes.

305548:
Don't break out of the m_advance() loop if len drops to zero.

If a packet contains the Ethernet header (14 bytes) in the first mbuf
and the payload (IP + UDP + data) in the second mbuf, then the attempt
to fetch the l3hdr will return a NULL pointer. The first loop iteration
will drop len to zero and exit the loop without setting 'p'. However,
the desired data is at the start of the second mbuf, so the correct
behavior is to loop around and let the conditional set 'p' to m_data of
the next mbuf (and leave offset as 0).

305549:
Chelsio T4/T5 VF driver.

The cxgbev/cxlv driver supports Virtual Function devices for Chelsio
T4 and T4 adapters. The VF devices share most of their code with the
existing PF4 driver (cxgbe/cxl) and as such the VF device driver
currently depends on the PF4 driver.

Similar to the cxgbe/cxl drivers, the VF driver includes a t4vf/t5vf
PCI device driver that attaches to the VF device. It then creates
child cxgbev/cxlv devices representing ports assigned to the VF.
By default, the PF driver assigns a single port to each VF.

t4vf_hw.c contains VF-specific routines from the shared code used to
fetch VF-specific parameters from the firmware.

t4_vf.c contains the VF-specific PCI device driver and includes its
own attach routine.

VF devices are required to use a different firmware request when
transmitting packets (which in turn requires a different CPL message
to encapsulate messages). This alternate firmware request does not
permit chaining multiple packets in a single message, so each packet
results in a firmware request. In addition, the different CPL message
requires more detailed information when enabling hardware checksums,
so parse_pkt() on VF devices must examine L2 and L3 headers for all
packets (not just TSO packets) for VF devices. Finally, L2 checksums
on non-UDP/non-TCP packets do not work reliably (the firmware trashes
the IPv4 fragment field), so IPv4 checksums for such packets are
calculated in software.

Most of the other changes in the non-VF-specific code are to expose
various variables and functions private to the PF driver so that they
can be used by the VF driver.

Note that a limited subset of cxgbetool functions are supported on VF
devices including register dumps, scheduler classes, and clearing of
statistics. In addition, TOE is not supported on VF devices, only for
the PF interfaces.

# 309444 02-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 303204: Install a handler for firmware work request error messages.

If a driver sends an malformed or disallowed work request, the firmware
responds with a work request error. Previously the driver treated this is
as an unexpected message and panicked. Now it decodes the error message
to aid in debugging.


# 309442 02-Dec-2016 jhb

MFC 302339:
cxgbe(4): Changes to the CPL-handler registration mechanism and code
related to "shared" CPLs.

a) Combine t4_set_tcb_field and t4_set_tcb_field_rpl into a single
function. Allow callers to direct the response to any iq. Tidy up
set_ulp_mode_iscsi while there to use names from t4_tcb.h instead of
magic constants.

b) Remove all CPL handler tables from struct adapter. This reduces its
size by around 2KB. All handlers are now registered at MOD_LOAD instead
of attach or some kind of initialization/activation. The registration
functions do not need an adapter parameter any more.

c) Add per-iq handlers to deal with CPLs whose destination cannot be
determined solely from the opcode. There are 2 such CPLs in use right
now: SET_TCB_RPL and L2T_WRITE_RPL. The base driver continues to send
filter and L2T_WRITEs over the mgmtq and solicits the reply on fwq.
t4_tom (including the DDP code) now uses the port's ctrlq to send
L2T_WRITEs and SET_TCB_FIELDs and solicits the reply on an ofld_rxq.
fwq and ofld_rxq have different handlers that know what kind of tid to
expect in the reply. Update t4_write_l2e and callers to to support any
wrq/iq combination.

MFC 301516,301520,301531,301535,301540,301542,301628: Traffic scheduling
updates.

301516:
cxgbetool: Allow max-rate > 10Gbps for rate-limited traffic.

301520:
cxgbe(4): Create a reusable struct type for scheduling class parameters.

301531:
cxgbe(4): Break up set_sched_class. Validate the channel number and
min/max rates against their actual limits (which are chip and port
specific) instead of hardcoded constants.

301535:
cxgbe(4): Track the state of the hardware traffic schedulers in the
driver. This works as long as everyone uses set_sched_class_params
to program them.

301540:
cxgbe(4): Provide information about traffic classes in the sysctl mib.

301542:
cxgbe(4): A couple of fixes to set_sched_queue.

- Validate the scheduling class against the actual limit (which is chip
specific) instead of a magic number.

- Return an error if an attempt is made to manipulate the tx queues of a
VI that hasn't been initialized.

301628:
cxgbe(4): Add a sysctl to manage the binding of a txq to a traffic class.

296493-296496,296544,296710-296711,297863,299685: Catch up to changes to
the internal shared code.

Note that this merge includes two different firmware updates, but the
effective change is to update to the last version (1.15.37.0). As such,
I've trimmed the log message of the first update (1.15.28.0).

In addition, the M_WAIT macro added in t4_regs.h had to be renamed to
CXGBE_M_WAIT to avoid a collision on 10.x that is not present on 11.

295778:
cxgbe: catch up with the latest hardware-related definitions.

296249:
cxgbe(4): Update T5 and T4 firmwares to 1.15.28.0.

296333:
cxgbe(4): First of many changes to reduce diffs with internal shared
code:

- Rename some CamelCase variables.
- s/t4_link_start/t4_link_l1cfg/g
- Pull in t4_get_port_type_description.
- Move t4_wait_op_done to t4_hw.c.
- Flip the order of the RDMA stats.
- Remove unsused function t4_iq_start_stop.
- Move t4_wait_op_done and t4_wait_op_done_val to t4_hw.c

296383:
cxgbe(4): Very basic T6 awareness. This is part of ongoing work to
update to the latest internal shared code.

- Add a chip_params structure to keep track of hardware constants for
all generations of Terminators handled by cxgbe.
- Update t4_hw_pci_read_cfg4 to work with T6.
- Update the hardware debug sysctls (hidden within dev.<tNnex>.<n>.misc.*) to
work with T6. Most of the changes are in the decoders for the CIM
logic analyzer and the MPS TCAM.
- Acquire the regwin lock around indirect register accesses.

296471:
cxgbe(4): Updated register dumps.

- Get the list of registers to read during a regdump from the shared
code instead of the OS specific code. This follows a similar move
internally. The shared code includes the list for T6.

- Update cxgbetool to be able to decode T5 VF, T6, and T6 VF register
dumps (and catch up with some updates to T4 and T5 register decode).

296478:
cxgbe(4): Add a struct sge_params to store per-adapter SGE parameters.
Move the code that reads all the parameters to t4_init_sge_params in the
shared code. Use these per-adapter values instead of globals.

296481:
cxgbe(4): Overhaul the shared code that deals with the chip's TP block,
which is responsible for filtering and RSS.

Add the ability to use filters that match on PF/VF (aka "VNIC id") while
here. This is mutually exclusive with filtering on outer VLAN tag with
Q-in-Q.

296485:
cxgbe(4): Update the interrupt handlers for hardware errors.

296488:
cxgbe(4): Updates to mailbox routines in the shared code.

296489:
cxgbe(4): Updates to the shared routines that deal with the serial EEPROM,
flash, and VPD.

296490:
cxgbe(4): Remove __devinit and SPEED_<foo> as part of catch up with
internal shared code.

296491:

# 308154 31-Oct-2016 jhb

MFC 291665,291685,291856,297467,302110,302263: Add support for VIs.

291665:
Add support for configuring additional virtual interfaces (VIs) on a port.

Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics.
The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented
as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap
interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces
use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX.

Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a
value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver.
NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX).

T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port.
As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including
the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled).

One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received
or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats
for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface.

The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various
information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X.

The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the
specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to
clear the stats of an individual VI.

291685:
Fix build for !TCP_OFFLOAD case.

291856:
Fix RSS build.

297467:
Remove #ifdef's from various structures used in the cxgbe/cxl driver.

This provides a constant ABI and layout for these structures (especially
struct adapter) avoiding some foot shooting.

302110:
cxgbe(4): Merge netmap support from the ncxgbe/ncxl interfaces to the
vcxgbe/vcxl interfaces and retire the 'n' interfaces. The main
cxgbe/cxl interfaces and tunables related to them are not affected by
any of this and will continue to operate as usual.

The driver used to create an additional 'n' interface for every
cxgbe/cxl interface if "device netmap" was in the kernel. The 'n'
interface shared the wire with the main interface but was otherwise
autonomous (with its own MAC address, etc.). It did not have normal
tx/rx but had a specialized netmap-only data path. r291665 added
another set of virtual interfaces (the 'v' interfaces) to the driver.
These had normal tx/rx but no netmap support.

This revision consolidates the features of both the interfaces into the
'v' interface which now has a normal data path, TOE support, and native
netmap support. The 'v' interfaces need to be created explicitly with
the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable. This means "device netmap" will not
result in the automatic creation of any virtual interfaces.

The following tunables can be used to override the default number of
queues allocated for each 'v' interface. nofld* = 0 will disable TOE on
the virtual interface and nnm* = 0 to will disable native netmap
support.

# number of normal NIC queues
hw.cxgbe.ntxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nrxq_vi

# number of TOE queues
hw.cxgbe.nofldtxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nofldrxq_vi

# number of netmap queues
hw.cxgbe.nnmtxq_vi
hw.cxgbe.nnmrxq_vi

hw.cxgbe.nnm{t,r}xq{10,1}g tunables have been removed.

--- tl;dr version ---
The workflow for netmap on cxgbe starting with FreeBSD 11 is:
1) "device netmap" in the kernel config.
2) "hw.cxgbe.num_vis=2" in loader.conf. num_vis > 2 is ok too, you'll
end up with multiple autonomous netmap-capable interfaces for every
port.
3) "dmesg | grep vcxl | grep netmap" to verify that the interface has
netmap queues.
4) Use any of the 'v' interfaces for netmap. pkt-gen -i vcxl<n>... .
One major improvement is that the netmap interface has a normal data
path as expected.
5) Just ignore the cxl interfaces if you want to use netmap only. No
need to bring them up. The vcxl interfaces are completely independent
and everything should just work.
---------------------

302263:
cxgbe(4): Do not bring up an interface when IFCAP_TOE is enabled on it.
The interface's queues are functional after VI_INIT_DONE (which is short
of interface-up) and that's all that's needed for t4_tom to communicate
with the chip.

MFC r284988, r285220, and r285221.

r284988:
cxgbe(4): request an automatic tx update when a netmap tx queue idles.
The NIC tx queues already do this.

r285220:
cxgbe(4): Do not override the the global defaults for congestion drops.
The hw.cxgbe.cong_drop knob is not affected by this change because the
driver sets up congestion drop on a per-queue basis.

r285221:
cxgbe(4): Add a new knob that controls the congestion response of netmap
rx queues. The default is to drop rather than backpressure.

This decouples the congestion settings of NIC and netmap rx queues.

r277637, and r283149 (by emaste@).

r276485 is the real change here, the rest deal with the fallout of
mp_ring's reliance on 64b atomics.

Use the incorrectly spelled 'eigth' from struct pkthdr in this branch
instead of MFC'ing r261733, which would have renamed the field of a
public structure in a -STABLE branch.
---

r276480:
Temporarily unplug cxgbe(4) from !amd64 builds.

r276485:
cxgbe(4): major tx rework.

a) Front load as much work as possible in if_transmit, before any driver
lock or software queue has to get involved.

b) Replace buf_ring with a brand new mp_ring (multiproducer ring). This
is specifically for the tx multiqueue model where one of the if_transmit
producer threads becomes the consumer and other producers carry on as
usual. mp_ring is implemented as standalone code and it should be
possible to use it in any driver with tx multiqueue. It also has:
- the ability to enqueue/dequeue multiple items. This might become
significant if packet batching is ever implemented.
- an abdication mechanism to allow a thread to give up writing tx
descriptors and have another if_transmit thread take over. A thread
that's writing tx descriptors can end up doing so for an unbounded
time period if a) there are other if_transmit threads continuously
feeding the sofware queue, and b) the chip keeps up with whatever the
thread is throwing at it.
- accurate statistics about interesting events even when the stats come
at the expense of additional branches/conditional code.

The NIC txq lock is uncontested on the fast path at this point. I've
left it there for synchronization with the control events (interface
up/down, modload/unload).

c) Add support for "type 1" coalescing work request in the normal NIC tx
path. This work request is optimized for frames with a single item in
the DMA gather list. These are very common when forwarding packets.
Note that netmap tx in cxgbe already uses these "type 1" work requests.

d) Do not request automatic cidx updates every 32 descriptors. Instead,
request updates via bits in individual work requests (still every 32
descriptors approximately). Also, request an automatic final update
when the queue idles after activity. This means NIC tx reclaim is still
performed lazily but it will catch up quickly as soon as the queue
idles. This seems to be the best middle ground and I'll probably do
something similar for netmap tx as well.

e) Implement a faster tx path for WRQs (used by TOE tx and control
queues, _not_ by the normal NIC tx). Allow work requests to be written
directly to the hardware descriptor ring if room is available. I will
convert t4_tom and iw_cxgbe modules to this faster style gradually.

r276498:
cxgbe(4): remove buf_ring specific restriction on the txq size.

r277225:
Make cxgbe(4) buildable with the gcc in base.

r277226:
Allow cxgbe(4) to be built on i386. Driver attach will succeed only on
a subset of i386 systems.

r277227:
Plug cxgbe(4) back into !powerpc && !arm builds, instead of building it
on amd64 only.

r277230:
Build cxgbe(4) on powerpc64 too.

r277637:
Make sure the compiler flag to get cxgbe(4) to compile with gcc is used
only when gcc is being used. This is what r277225 should have been.


# 281955 24-Apr-2015 hiren

MFC r275358 r275483 r276982 - Removing M_FLOWID by hps@

r275358:
Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag
from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.

This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.

"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.

r275483:
Remove M_FLOWID from SCTP code.

r276982:
Remove no longer used "M_FLOWID" flag from mbuf.h and update the netisr
manpage.

Note: The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

It is disabled by default but users can set IFCAP_TXCSUM on the

cxgbe(4): Remove stray if_up from the code that creates the tracing ifnet.

r266757:
cxgbe(4): netmap support for Terminator 5 (T5) based 10G/40G cards.
Netmap gets its own hardware-assisted virtual interface and won't take
over or disrupt the "normal" interface in any way. You can use both
simultaneously.

For kernels with DEV_NETMAP, cxgbe(4) carves out an ncxl<N> interface
(note the 'n' prefix) in the hardware to accompany each cxl<N>
interface. These two ifnet's per port share the same wire but really
are separate interfaces in the hardware and software. Each gets its own
L2 MAC addresses (unicast and multicast), MTU, checksum caps, etc. You
should run netmap on the 'n' interfaces only, that's what they are for.

With this, pkt-gen is able to transmit > 45Mpps out of a single 40G port
of a T580 card. 2 port tx is at ~56Mpps total (28M + 28M) as of now.
Single port receive is at 33Mpps but this is very much a work in
progress. I expect it to be closer to 40Mpps once done. In any case
the current effort can already saturate multiple 10G ports of a T5 card
at the smallest legal packet size. T4 gear is totally untested.

Use the incorrectly spelled 'eigth' from struct pkthdr in this branch
instead of MFC'ing r261733, which would have renamed the field of a
public structure in a -STABLE branch.
---

r276480:
Temporarily unplug cxgbe(4) from !amd64 builds.

r276485:
cxgbe(4): major tx rework.

a) Front load as much work as possible in if_transmit, before any driver
lock or software queue has to get involved.

b) Replace buf_ring with a brand new mp_ring (multiproducer ring). This
is specifically for the tx multiqueue model where one of the if_transmit
producer threads becomes the consumer and other producers carry on as
usual. mp_ring is implemented as standalone code and it should be
possible to use it in any driver with tx multiqueue. It also has:
- the ability to enqueue/dequeue multiple items. This might become
significant if packet batching is ever implemented.
- an abdication mechanism to allow a thread to give up writing tx
descriptors and have another if_transmit thread take over. A thread
that's writing tx descriptors can end up doing so for an unbounded
time period if a) there are other if_transmit threads continuously
feeding the sofware queue, and b) the chip keeps up with whatever the
thread is throwing at it.
- accurate statistics about interesting events even when the stats come
at the expense of additional branches/conditional code.

The NIC txq lock is uncontested on the fast path at this point. I've
left it there for synchronization with the control events (interface
up/down, modload/unload).

c) Add support for "type 1" coalescing work request in the normal NIC tx
path. This work request is optimized for frames with a single item in
the DMA gather list. These are very common when forwarding packets.
Note that netmap tx in cxgbe already uses these "type 1" work requests.

d) Do not request automatic cidx updates every 32 descriptors. Instead,
request updates via bits in individual work requests (still every 32
descriptors approximately). Also, request an automatic final update
when the queue idles after activity. This means NIC tx reclaim is still
performed lazily but it will catch up quickly as soon as the queue
idles. This seems to be the best middle ground and I'll probably do
something similar for netmap tx as well.

e) Implement a faster tx path for WRQs (used by TOE tx and control
queues, _not_ by the normal NIC tx). Allow work requests to be written
directly to the hardware descriptor ring if room is available. I will
convert t4_tom and iw_cxgbe modules to this faster style gradually.

r276498:
cxgbe(4): remove buf_ring specific restriction on the txq size.

r277225:
Make cxgbe(4) buildable with the gcc in base.

r277226:
Allow cxgbe(4) to be built on i386. Driver attach will succeed only on
a subset of i386 systems.

r277227:
Plug cxgbe(4) back into !powerpc && !arm builds, instead of building it
on amd64 only.

r277230:
Build cxgbe(4) on powerpc64 too.

r277637:
Make sure the compiler flag to get cxgbe(4) to compile with gcc is used
only when gcc is being used. This is what r277225 should have been.

MFC r275358 r275483 r276982 - Removing M_FLOWID by hps@

r275358:
Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag
from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.

This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.

"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.

r275483:
Remove M_FLOWID from SCTP code.

r276982:
Remove no longer used "M_FLOWID" flag from mbuf.h and update the netisr
manpage.

Note: The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

r266757:
cxgbe(4): netmap support for Terminator 5 (T5) based 10G/40G cards.
Netmap gets its own hardware-assisted virtual interface and won't take
over or disrupt the "normal" interface in any way. You can use both
simultaneously.

For kernels with DEV_NETMAP, cxgbe(4) carves out an ncxl<N> interface
(note the 'n' prefix) in the hardware to accompany each cxl<N>
interface. These two ifnet's per port share the same wire but really
are separate interfaces in the hardware and software. Each gets its own
L2 MAC addresses (unicast and multicast), MTU, checksum caps, etc. You
should run netmap on the 'n' interfaces only, that's what they are for.

With this, pkt-gen is able to transmit > 45Mpps out of a single 40G port
of a T580 card. 2 port tx is at ~56Mpps total (28M + 28M) as of now.
Single port receive is at 33Mpps but this is very much a work in
progress. I expect it to be closer to 40Mpps once done. In any case
the current effort can already saturate multiple 10G ports of a T5 card
at the smallest legal packet size. T4 gear is totally untested.
