- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle. - Update __FreeBSD_version [1] - Set branch name to -RC1
[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with a value ending in zero.

vge(4) hardwares poll media status and generates an interrupt whenever the link state is changed. Using software based polling for media status tracking is known to cause MII access failure under certain conditions once link is established so vge(4) used to rely on link status change interrupt. However DEVICE_POLLING completely disables generation of all kind of interrupts on vge(4) such that this resulted in not detecting link state change event. This means vge(4) does not correctly detect established/lost link with DEVICE_POLLING. Losing the interrupt made vge(4) not to send any packets to peer since vge(4) does not try to send any packets when there is no established link.
Work around the issue by generating link state change interrupt with DEVICE_POLLING.

Add rudimentary WOL support. While I'm here remove enabling busmastering/memory address in resume path. Bus driver will handle that.

Implement interrupt moderation scheme supported by VT61xx controllers. TX/RX interrupt mitigation is controlled by VGE_TXSUPPTHR and VGE_RXSUPPTHR register. These registers suppress generation of interrupts until the programmed frames counter equals to the registers. VT61xx also supports interrupt hold off timer register. If this interrupt hold off timer is active all interrupts would be disabled until the timer reaches to 0. The timer value is reloaded whenever VGE_ISR register written. The timer resolution is about 20us.
Previously vge(4) used single shot timer to reduce Tx completion interrupts. This required VGE_CRS1 register access in Tx start/completion handler to rearm new timeout value and it did not show satisfactory result(more than 50k interrupts under load). Rx interrupts was not moderated at all such that vge(4) used to generate too many interrupts which in turn made polling(4) better approach under high network load.
This change activates all interrupt moderation mechanism and initial values were tuned to generate interrupt less than 8k per second. That number of interrupts wouldn't add additional packet latencies compared to polling(4). These interrupt parameters could be changed with sysctl. dev.vge.%d.int_holdoff dev.vge.%d.rx_coal_pkt dev.vge.%d.tx_coal_pkt Interface has be brought down and up again before change take effect.
With interrupt moderation there is no more need to loop in interrupt handler. This loop always added one more register access. While I'm here remove dead code which tried to implement subset of interrupt moderation.

Overhaul bus_dma(9) usage and fix various things. o Separate TX/RX buffer DMA tag from TX/RX descriptor ring DMA tag. o Separate RX buffer DMA tag from common buffer DMA tag. RX DMA tag has different restriction compared to TX DMA tag. o Add 40bit DMA address support. o Adjust TX/RX descriptor ring alignment to 64 bytes from 256 bytes as documented in datasheet. o Added check to ensure TX/RX ring reside within a 4GB boundary. Since TX/RX ring shares the same high address register they should have the same high address. o TX/RX side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support. o Add lock assertion to vge_setmulti(). o Add RX spare DMA map to recover from DMA map load failure. o Add optimized RX buffer handler, vge_discard_rxbuf which is activated when vge(4) sees bad frames. o Don't blindly update VGE_RXDESC_RESIDUECNT register. Datasheet says the register should be updated only when number of available RX descriptors are multiple of 4. o Use __NO_STRICT_ALIGNMENT instead of defining VGE_FIXUP_RX which is only set for i386 architecture. Previously vge(4) also performed expensive copy operation to align IP header on amd64. This change should give RX performance boost on amd64 architecture. o Don't reinitialize controller if driver is already running. This should reduce number of link state flipping. o Since vge(4) drops a driver lock before passing received frame to upper layer, make sure vge(4) is still running after re-acquiring driver lock. o Add second argument count to vge_rxeof(). The argument will limit number of packets could be processed in RX handler. o Rearrange vge_rxeof() not to allocate RX buffer if received frame was bad packet. o Removed if_printf that prints DMA map failure. This type of message shouldn't be used in fast path of driver. o Reduce number of allowed TX buffer fragments to 6 from 7. A TX descriptor allows 7 fragments of a frame. However the CMZ field of descriptor has just 3bits and the controller wants to see fragment + 1 in the field. So if we have 7 fragments the field value would be 0 which seems to cause unexpected results under certain conditions. This change should fix occasional TX hang observed on vge(4). o Simplify vge_stat_locked() and add number of available TX descriptor check. o vge(4) controllers lack padding short frames. Make sure to fill zero for the padded bytes. This closes unintended information disclosure. o Don't set VGE_TDCTL_JUMBO flag. Datasheet is not clear whether this bit should be set by driver or write-back status bit after transmission. At least vendor's driver does not set this bit so remove it. Without this bit vge(4) still can send jumbo frames. o Don't start driver when vge(4) know there are not enough RX buffers. o Remove volatile keyword in RX descriptor structure. This should be handled by bus_dma(9). o Collapse two 16bits member of TX/RX descriptor into single 32bits member. o Reduce number of RX descriptors to 252 from 256. The VGE_RXDESCNUM is 16bits register but only lower 8bits are valid. So the maximum number of RX descriptors would be 255. However the number of should be multiple of 4 as controller wants to update 4 RX descriptors at a time. This limits the maximum number of RX descriptor to be 252.

Add device driver support for the VIA Networking Technologies VT6122 gigabit ethernet chip and integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY. The vge driver has been added to GENERIC for i386, pc98 and amd64, but not to sparc or ia64 since I don't have the ability to test it there. The vge(4) driver supports VLANs, checksum offload and jumbo frames.
Also added the lge(4) and nge(4) drivers to GENERIC for i386 and pc98 since I was in the neighborhood. There's no reason to leave them out anymore.
