# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- 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.

# 257396 30-Oct-2013 neel

MFC r257293.

Add support for PCI-to-ISA LPC bridge emulation. If the LPC bus is attached
to a virtual machine then we implicitly create COM1 and COM2 ISA devices.

Prior to this change the only way of attaching a COM port to the virtual
machine was by presenting it as a PCI device that is mapped at the legacy
I/O address 0x3F8 or 0x2F8.

There were some issues with the original approach:
- It did not work at all with UEFI because UEFI will reprogram the PCI device
BARs and remap the COM1/COM2 ports at non-legacy addresses.
- OpenBSD GENERIC kernel does not create a /dev/console because it expects
the uart device at the legacy 0x3F8/0x2F8 address to be an ISA device.
- It was functional with a FreeBSD guest but caused the console to appear
on /dev/ttyu2 which was not intuitive.

The uart emulation is now independent of the bus on which it resides. Thus it
is possible to have uart devices on the PCI bus in addition to the legacy
COM1/COM2 devices behind the LPC bus.

The command line option to attach ISA COM1/COM2 ports to a virtual machine is
"-s <bus>,lpc -l com1,stdio".

The command line option to create a PCI-attached uart device is:
"-s <bus>,uart[,stdio]"

The command line option to create PCI-attached COM1/COM2 device is:
"-S <bus>,uart[,stdio]". This style of creating COM ports is deprecated.

# 252682 04-Jul-2013 grehan

Support an optional "mac=" parameter to virtio-net config, to allow
users to set the MAC address for a device.

Clean up some obsolete code in pci_virtio_net.c

Allow an error return from a PCI device emulation's init routine
to be propagated all the way back to the top-level and result in
the process exiting.

# 249916 26-Apr-2013 neel

Gripe if some <slot,function> tuple is specified more than once instead of
silently overwriting the previous assignment.

Gripe if the emulation is not recognized instead of silently ignoring the
emulated device.

If an error is detected by pci_parse_slot() then exit from the command line
parsing loop in main().

# 246846 15-Feb-2013 neel

Advertise PCI-E capability in the hostbridge device presented to the guest.

FreeBSD wants to see this capability in at least one device in the PCI
hierarchy before it allows use of MSI or MSI-X.

Obtained from: NetApp


# 246190 01-Feb-2013 neel

Fix a bug in the passthru implementation where it would assume that all
devices are MSI-X capable. This in turn would lead it to treat bar 0 as
the MSI-X table bar even if the underlying device did not support MSI-X.

Fix this by providing an API to query the MSI-X table index of the emulated
device. If the underlying device does not support MSI-X then this API will
return -1.

Obtained from: NetApp


# 246109 30-Jan-2013 neel

Add support for MSI-X interrupts in the virtio network device and make that
the default.

The current behavior of advertising a single MSI vector can be requested by
setting the environment variable "BHYVE_USE_MSI" to "true". The use of MSI
is not compliant with the virtio specification and will be eventually phased
out.

# 245749 21-Jan-2013 neel

Allocate the memory for the MSI-X table dynamically instead of allocating 32KB
statically. In most cases the number of table entries will be far less than
the maximum of 2048 allowed by the PCI specification.

Reuse macros from pcireg.h to interpret the MSI-X capability instead of rolling
our own.

# 245740 21-Jan-2013 neel

Get rid of redundant 'table_size' field in struct pi_msix. If needed it can
always be calculated from the number of entries in the MSI-X table.

# 245678 20-Jan-2013 neel

Add svn properties to the recently merged bhyve source files.

The pre-commit hook will not allow any commits without the svn:keywords
property in head.


# 245652 19-Jan-2013 neel

Merge projects/bhyve to head.

'bhyve' was developed by grehan@ and myself at NetApp (thanks!).

Special thanks to Peter Snyder, Joe Caradonna and Michael Dexter for their
support and encouragement.

# 242131 26-Oct-2012 grehan

Remove mptable generation code from libvmmapi and move it to bhyve.
Firmware tables require too much knowledge of system configuration,
and it's difficult to pass that information in general terms to a library.
The upcoming ACPI work exposed this - it will also livein bhyve.

Also, remove code specific to NetApp from the mptable name, and remove
the -n option from bhyve.

# 241744 19-Oct-2012 grehan

Rework how guest MMIO regions are dealt with.

- New memory region interface. An RB tree holds the regions,
with a last-found per-vCPU cache to deal with the common case
of repeated guest accesses to MMIO registers in the same page.

- Support memory-mapped BARs in PCI emulation.

mem.c/h - memory region interface

instruction_emul.c/h - remove old region interface.
Use gpa from EPT exit to avoid a tablewalk to
determine operand address. Determine operand size
and use when calling through to region handler.

fbsdrun.c - call into region interface on paging
exit. Distinguish between instruction emul error
and region not found

pci_emul.c/h - implement new BAR callback api.
Split BAR alloc routine into routines that
require/don't require the BAR phys address.

ioapic.c
pci_passthru.c
pci_virtio_block.c
pci_virtio_net.c
pci_uart.c - update to new BAR callback i/f

# 234938 03-May-2012 grehan

Add 16550 uart emulation as a PCI device. This allows it to
be activated as part of the slot config options.
The syntax is:

-s <slotnum>,uart[,stdio]

The stdio parameter instructs the code to perform i/o using
stdin/stdout. It can only be used for one instance.
To allow legacy i/o ports/irqs to be used, a new variant of
the slot command, -S, is introduced. When used to specify a
slot, the device will use legacy resources if it supports
them; otherwise it will be treated the same as the '-s' option.
Specifying the -S option with the uart will first use the 0x3f8/irq 4
config, and the second -S will use 0x2F8/irq 3.

Interrupt delivery is awaiting the arrival of the i/o apic code,
but this works fine in uart(4)'s polled mode.

This code was written by Cynthia Lu @ MIT while an intern at NetApp,
with further work from neel@ and grehan@.

# 234761 28-Apr-2012 grehan

MSI-x interrupt support for PCI pass-thru devices.

Includes instruction emulation for memory r/w access. This
opens the door for io-apic, local apic, hpet timer, and
legacy device emulation.
