# 335472 21-Jun-2018 dim

MFC r335297:

Fix build of ndis with base gcc on i386

Casting from rman_res_t to a pointer results in "cast to pointer from
integer of different size" warnings with base gcc on i386, so use an
intermediate cast to uintptr_t to suppress it. In this case, the I/O
port range is effectively limited to the range of 0..65535.

Revert r330897:

This was intended to be a non-functional change. It wasn't. The commit
message was thus wrong. In addition it broke arm, and merged crypto
related code.

Revert with prejudice.

This revert skips files touched in r316370 since that commit was since
MFCed. This revert also skips files that require $FreeBSD$ property
changes.

Thank you to those who helped me get out of this mess including but not

- U-Khan UW-2054u (Marvell)
- Shuttle XPC Accessory PN20 (Realtek)
- ipTIME G054U2 (Ralink)
- UNiCORN WL-54G (ZyDAS)
- ZyXEL G-200v2 (ZyDAS)

All of them succeeded to attach and worked though there are still some
problems that it's expected to be solved.

To use NDIS USB support, you should rebuild and install ndiscvt(8) and
if you encounter a problem to attach please set `hw.ndisusb.halt' to
0 then retry.

I expect no changes of the NDIS code for PCI, PCMCIA devices.

- Add a new linker_file_foreach() function that walks the list of linker

The iteration terminates either when the entire list has been iterated
over or the predicate function returns a non-zero value.
linker_file_foreach() returns the value returned by the last invocation
of the predicate function. It also accepts a void * context pointer that
is passed to the predicate function as well. Using an iterator function
avoids exposing linker internals to the rest of the kernel making locking
simpler.
- Use linker_file_foreach() instead of walking the list of linker files
manually to lookup ndis files in ndis(4).
- Use linker_file_foreach() to implement linker_hwpmc_list_objects().

MFC: sync with -current (interrupt handler API fixes, RT2500 deadlock
with wpa_supplicant)


# 152626 19-Nov-2005 wpaul

Correct the API for Windows interupt handling a little. The prototype
for a Windows ISR is 'BOOLEAN isrfunc(KINTERRUPT *, void *)' meaning
the ISR get a pointer to the interrupt object and a context pointer,
and returns TRUE if the ISR determines the interrupt was really generated
by the associated device, or FALSE if not.

I had mistakenly used 'void isrfunc(void *)' instead. It happens the
only thing this affects is the internal ndis_intr() ISR in subr_ndis.c,
but it should be fixed just in case we ever need to register a real
Windows ISR vi IoConnectInterrupt().

For NDIS miniports that provide a MiniportISR() method, the 'is_our_intr'
value returned by the method serves as the return value from ndis_isr(),
and 'call_isr' is used to decide whether or not to schedule the interrupt
handler via DPC. For drivers that only supply MiniportEnableInterrupt()
and MiniportDisableInterrupt() methods, call_isr is always TRUE and
is_our_intr is always FALSE.

In the end, there should be no functional changes, except that now
ntoskrnl_intr() can terminate early once it finds the ISR that wants
to service the interrupt.

- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
to use IF_LLADDR() instead.


# 151977 02-Nov-2005 wpaul

Tests with my dual Opteron system have shown that it's possible
for code to start out on one CPU when thunking into Windows
mode in ctxsw_utow(), and then be pre-empted and migrated to another
CPU before thunking back to UNIX mode in ctxsw_wtou(). This is
bad, because then we can end up looking at the wrong 'thread environment
block' when trying to come back to UNIX mode. To avoid this, we now
pin ourselves to the current CPU when thunking into Windows code.

Few other cleanups, since I'm here:

- Get rid of the ndis_isr(), ndis_enable_interrupt() and
ndis_disable_interrupt() wrappers from kern_ndis.c and just invoke
the miniport's methods directly in the interrupt handling routines
in subr_ndis.c. We may as well lose the function call overhead,
since we don't need to export these things outside of ndis.ko
now anyway.

- Remove call to ndis_enable_interrupt() from ndis_init() in if_ndis.c.
We don't need to do it there anyway (the miniport init routine handles
it, if needed).

- Fix the logic in NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() a little.

- Change some NDIS_STATUS_xxx codes in subr_ntoskrnl.c into STATUS_xxx
codes.

- Handle kthread_create() failure correctly in PsCreateSystemThread().


# 151691 26-Oct-2005 wpaul

Get rid of the timer tracking and reaping code in NdisMInitializeTimer()
and ndis_halt_nic(). It's been disabled for some time anyway, and
it turns out there's a possible deadlock in NdisMInitializeTimer() when
acquiring the miniport block lock to modify the timer list: it's
possible for a driver to call NdisMInitializeTimer() when the miniport
block lock has already been acquired by an earlier piece of code. You
can't acquire the same spinlock twice, so this can deadlock.

Also, implement MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace(), and make
NdisMMapIoSpace() and NdisMUnmapIoSpace() use them. There are some
drivers that want MmMapIoSpace() and MmUnmapIoSpace() so that they can
map arbitrary register spaces not directly associated with their
device resources. For example, there's an Atheros driver for
a miniPci card (0x168C:0x1014) on the IBM Thinkpad x40 that wants
to map some I/O spaces at 0xF00000 and 0xE00000 which are held by
the acpi0 device. I don't know what it wants these ranges for,
but if it can't map and access them, the MiniportInitialize() method
fails.


# 151606 24-Oct-2005 wpaul

Fix handling of message table messages that got broken when I
converted NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() to use the RtlXXX unicode/ansi
conversion routines.


# 151451 18-Oct-2005 wpaul

Another round of cleanups and fixes:

- Change ndis_return() from a DPC to a workitem so that it doesn't
run at DISPATCH_LEVEL (with the dispatcher lock held).

- In if_ndis.c, submit packets to the stack via (*ifp->if_input)() in
a workitem instead of doing it directly in ndis_rxeof(), because
ndis_rxeof() runs in a DPC, and hence at DISPATCH_LEVEL. This
implies that the 'dispatch level' mutex for the current CPU is
being held, and we don't want to call if_input while holding
any locks.

- Reimplement IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt(). The original
approach I used to track down the interrupt resource (by scanning
the device tree starting at the nexus) is prone to problems when
two devices share an interrupt. (E.g removing ndis1 might disable
interrupts for ndis0.) The new approach is to multiplex all the
NDIS interrupts through a common internal dispatcher (ntoskrnl_intr())
and allow IoConnectInterrupt()/IoDisconnectInterrupt() to add or
remove interrupts from the dispatch list.

- Implement KeAcquireInterruptSpinLock() and KeReleaseInterruptSpinLock().

- Change the DPC and workitem threads to use the KeXXXSpinLock
API instead of mtx_lock_spin()/mtx_unlock_spin().

- Simplify the NdisXXXPacket routines by creating an actual
packet pool structure and using the InterlockedSList routines
to manage the packet queue.

- Only honor the value returned by OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
for serialized drivers. For deserialized drivers, we now create
a packet array of 64 entries. (The Microsoft DDK documentation
says that for deserialized miniports, OID_GEN_MAXIMUM_SEND_PACKETS
is ignored, and the driver for the Marvell 8335 chip, which is
a deserialized miniport, returns 1 when queried.)

- Clean up timer handling in subr_ntoskrnl.

- Add the following conditional debugging code:
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_TIMERS - add debugging and stats for timers
NDIS_DEBUG_PACKETS - add extra sanity checking for NdisXXXPacket API
NTOSKRNL_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS - add test for spinning too long

- In kern_ndis.c, always start the HAL first and shut it down last,
since Windows spinlocks depend on it. Ntoskrnl should similarly be
started second and shut down next to last.


# 151207 10-Oct-2005 wpaul

This commit makes a big round of updates and fixes many, many things.

First and most importantly, I threw out the thread priority-twiddling
implementation of KeRaiseIrql()/KeLowerIrq()/KeGetCurrentIrql() in
favor of a new scheme that uses sleep mutexes. The old scheme was
really very naughty and sought to provide the same behavior as
Windows spinlocks (i.e. blocking pre-emption) but in a way that
wouldn't raise the ire of WITNESS. The new scheme represents
'DISPATCH_LEVEL' as the acquisition of a per-cpu sleep mutex. If
a thread on cpu0 acquires the 'dispatcher mutex,' it will block
any other thread on the same processor that tries to acquire it,
in effect only allowing one thread on the processor to be at
'DISPATCH_LEVEL' at any given time. It can then do the 'atomic sit
and spin' routine on the spinlock variable itself. If a thread on
cpu1 wants to acquire the same spinlock, it acquires the 'dispatcher
mutex' for cpu1 and then it too does an atomic sit and spin to try
acquiring the spinlock.

Unlike real spinlocks, this does not disable pre-emption of all
threads on the CPU, but it does put any threads involved with
the NDISulator to sleep, which is just as good for our purposes.

This means I can now play nice with WITNESS, and I can safely do
things like call malloc() when I'm at 'DISPATCH_LEVEL,' which
you're allowed to do in Windows.

Next, I completely re-wrote most of the event/timer/mutex handling
and wait code. KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
have been re-written to use condition variables instead of msleep().
This allows us to use the Windows convention whereby thread A can
tell thread B "wake up with a boosted priority." (With msleep(), you
instead have thread B saying "when I get woken up, I'll use this
priority here," and thread A can't tell it to do otherwise.) The
new KeWaitForMultipleObjects() has been better tested and better
duplicates the semantics of its Windows counterpart.

I also overhauled the IoQueueWorkItem() API and underlying code.
Like KeInsertQueueDpc(), IoQueueWorkItem() must insure that the
same work item isn't put on the queue twice. ExQueueWorkItem(),
which in my implementation is built on top of IoQueueWorkItem(),
was also modified to perform a similar test.

I renamed the doubly-linked list macros to give them the same names
as their Windows counterparts and fixed RemoveListTail() and
RemoveListHead() so they properly return the removed item.

I also corrected the list handling code in ntoskrnl_dpc_thread()
and ntoskrnl_workitem_thread(). I realized that the original logic
did not correctly handle the case where a DPC callout tries to
queue up another DPC. It works correctly now.

I implemented IoConnectInterrupt() and IoDisconnectInterrupt() and
modified NdisMRegisterInterrupt() and NdisMDisconnectInterrupt() to
use them. I also tried to duplicate the interrupt handling scheme
used in Windows. The interrupt handling is now internal to ndis.ko,
and the ndis_intr() function has been removed from if_ndis.c. (In
the USB case, interrupt handling isn't needed in if_ndis.c anyway.)

NdisMSleep() has been rewritten to use a KeWaitForSingleObject()
and a KeTimer, which is how it works in Windows. (This is mainly
to insure that the NDISulator uses the KeTimer API so I can spot
any problems with it that may arise.)

KeCancelTimer() has been changed so that it only cancels timers, and
does not attempt to cancel a DPC if the timer managed to fire and
queue one up before KeCancelTimer() was called. The Windows DDK
documentation seems to imply that KeCantelTimer() will also call
KeRemoveQueueDpc() if necessary, but it really doesn't.

The KeTimer implementation has been rewritten to use the callout API
directly instead of timeout()/untimeout(). I still cheat a little in
that I have to manage my own small callout timer wheel, but the timer
code works more smoothly now. I discovered a race condition using
timeout()/untimeout() with periodic timers where untimeout() fails
to actually cancel a timer. I don't quite understand where the race
is, using callout_init()/callout_reset()/callout_stop() directly
seems to fix it.

I also discovered and fixed a bug in winx32_wrap.S related to
translating _stdcall calls. There are a couple of routines
(i.e. the 64-bit arithmetic intrinsics in subr_ntoskrnl) that
return 64-bit quantities. On the x86 arch, 64-bit values are
returned in the %eax and %edx registers. However, it happens
that the ctxsw_utow() routine uses %edx as a scratch register,
and x86_stdcall_wrap() and x86_stdcall_call() were only preserving
%eax before branching to ctxsw_utow(). This means %edx was getting
clobbered in some cases. Curiously, the most noticeable effect of this
bug is that the driver for the TI AXC110 chipset would constantly drop
and reacquire its link for no apparent reason. Both %eax and %edx
are preserved on the stack now. The _fastcall and _regparm
wrappers already handled everything correctly.

I changed if_ndis to use IoAllocateWorkItem() and IoQueueWorkItem()
instead of the NdisScheduleWorkItem() API. This is to avoid possible
deadlocks with any drivers that use NdisScheduleWorkItem() themselves.

The unicode/ansi conversion handling code has been cleaned up. The
internal routines have been moved to subr_ntoskrnl and the
RtlXXX routines have been exported so that subr_ndis can call them.
This removes the incestuous relationship between the two modules
regarding this code and fixes the implementation so that it honors
the 'maxlen' fields correctly. (Previously it was possible for
NdisUnicodeStringToAnsiString() to possibly clobber memory it didn't
own, which was causing many mysterious crashes in the Marvell 8335
driver.)

The registry handling code (NdisOpen/Close/ReadConfiguration()) has
been fixed to allocate memory for all the parameters it hands out to
callers and delete whem when NdisCloseConfiguration() is called.
(Previously, it would secretly use a single static buffer.)

I also substantially updated if_ndis so that the source can now be
built on FreeBSD 7, 6 and 5 without any changes. On FreeBSD 5, only
WEP support is enabled. On FreeBSD 6 and 7, WPA-PSK support is enabled.

The original WPA code has been updated to fit in more cleanly with
the net80211 API, and to eleminate the use of magic numbers. The
ndis_80211_setstate() routine now sets a default authmode of OPEN
and initializes the RTS threshold and fragmentation threshold.
The WPA routines were changed so that the authentication mode is
always set first, followed by the cipher. Some drivers depend on
the operations being performed in this order.

I also added passthrough ioctls that allow application code to
directly call the MiniportSetInformation()/MiniportQueryInformation()
methods via ndis_set_info() and ndis_get_info(). The ndis_linksts()
routine also caches the last 4 events signalled by the driver via
NdisMIndicateStatus(), and they can be queried by an application via
a separate ioctl. This is done to allow wpa_supplicant to directly
program the various crypto and key management options in the driver,
allowing things like WPA2 support to work.

Whew.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.

This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.

Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

# 146364 19-May-2005 wpaul

Fix some of the things I broke so that the SMC2602W (AMD Am1772) driver
works again.

This driver uses NdisScheduleWorkItem(), and we have to take special steps
to insure that its workitems don't collide with any of the other workitems
used by the NDISulator. In particular, if one of the driver's work jobs
blocks, it can prevent NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync() from completing
when expected.

The original hack to fix this was to have NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
defer its work to the DPC queue instead of the general task queue. To
fix it now, I decided to add some additional workitem threads. (There's
supposed to be a pool of worker threads in Windows anyway.) Currently,
there are 4. There should be at least 2. One is reserved for the legacy
ExQueueWorkItem() API, while the others are used in round-robin by the
IoQueueWorkItem() API. NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync() uses the latter
API while NdisScheduleWorkItem() uses the former, so the deadlock is
avoided.

Fixed NdisMRegisterDevice()/NdisMDeregisterDevice() to work a little
more sensibly with the new driver_object/device_object framework. It
doesn't really register a working user-mode interface, but the existing
code was completely wrong for the new framework.

Fixed a couple of bugs dealing with the cancellation of events and
DPCs. When cancelling an event that's still on the timer queue (i.e.
hasn't expired yet), reset dh_inserted in its dispatch header to FALSE.
Previously, it was left set to TRUE, which would make a cancelled
timer appear to have not been cancelled. Also, when removing a DPC
from a queue, reset its list pointers, otherwise a cancelled DPC
might mistakenly be treated as still pending.

Lastly, fix the behavior of ntoskrnl_wakeup() when dealing with
objects that have nobody waiting on them: sync event objects get
their signalled state reset to FALSE, but notification objects
should still be set to TRUE.

Remove extranaous free() of ASCII filename from NdisOpenFile().

Oh, one additional change I forgot to mention in the last commit:
NdisOpenFile() was broken in the case for firmware files that were
pre-loaded as modules. When searching for the module in NdisOpenFile(),
we would match against a symbol name, which would contain the string
we were looking for, then save a pointer to the linker file handle.
Later, in NdisMapFile(), we would refer to the filename hung off
this handle when trying to find the starting address symbol. Only
problem is, this filename is different from the embedded symbol
name we're searching for, so the mapping would fail. I found this
problem while testing the AirGo driver, which requires a small
firmware file.

This commit makes a bunch of changes, some big, some not so big.

- Remove the old task threads from kern_ndis.c and reimplement them in
subr_ntoskrnl.c, in order to more properly emulate the Windows DPC
API. Each CPU gets its own DPC queue/thread, and each queue can
have low, medium and high importance DPCs. New APIs implemented:
KeSetTargetProcessorDpc(), KeSetImportanceDpc() and KeFlushQueuedDpcs().
(This is the biggest change.)

- Fix a bug in NdisMInitializeTimer(): the k_dpc pointer in the
nmt_timer embedded in the ndis_miniport_timer struct must be set
to point to the DPC, also embedded in the struct. Failing to do
this breaks dequeueing of DPCs submitted via timers, and in turn
breaks cancelling timers.

- Fix a bug in KeCancelTimer(): if the timer is interted in the timer
queue (i.e. the timeout callback is still pending), we have to both
untimeout() the timer _and_ call KeRemoveQueueDpc() to nuke the DPC
that might be pending. Failing to do this breaks cancellation of
periodic timers, which always appear to be inserted in the timer queue.

- Make use of the nmt_nexttimer field in ndis_miniport_timer: keep a
queue of pending timers and cancel them all in ndis_halt_nic(), prior
to calling MiniportHalt(). Also call KeFlushQueuedDpcs() to make sure
any DPCs queued by the timers have expired.

- Modify NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() and NdisMFreeSharedMemory() to keep
track of both the virtual and physical addresses of the shared memory
buffers that get handed out. The AirGo MIMO driver appears to have a bug
in it: for one of the segments is allocates, it returns the wrong
virtual address. This would confuse NdisMFreeSharedMemory() and cause
a crash. Why it doesn't crash Windows too I have no idea (from reading
the documentation for NdisMFreeSharedMemory(), it appears to be a violation
of the API).

- Implement strstr(), strchr() and MmIsAddressValid().

- Implement IoAllocateWorkItem(), IoFreeWorkItem(), IoQueueWorkItem() and
ExQueueWorkItem(). (This is the second biggest change.)

- Make NdisScheduleWorkItem() call ExQueueWorkItem(). (Note that the
ExQueueWorkItem() API is deprecated by Microsoft, but NDIS still uses
it, since NdisScheduleWorkItem() is incompatible with the IoXXXWorkItem()
API.)

- Change if_ndis.c to use the NdisScheduleWorkItem() interface for scheduling
tasks.

With all these changes and fixes, the AirGo MIMO driver for the Belkin
F5D8010 Pre-N card now works. Special thanks to Paul Robinson
(paul dawt robinson at pwermedia dawt net) for the loan of a card
for testing.


# 145485 24-Apr-2005 wpaul

Throw the switch on the new driver generation/loading mechanism. From
here on in, if_ndis.ko will be pre-built as a module, and can be built
into a static kernel (though it's not part of GENERIC). Drivers are
created using the new ndisgen(8) script, which uses ndiscvt(8) under
the covers, along with a few other tools. The result is a driver module
that can be kldloaded into the kernel.

A driver with foo.inf and foo.sys files will be converted into
foo_sys.ko (and foo_sys.o, for those who want/need to make static
kernels). This module contains all of the necessary info from the
.INF file and the driver binary image, converted into an ELF module.
You can kldload this module (or add it to /boot/loader.conf) to have
it loaded automatically. Any required firmware files can be bundled
into the module as well (or converted/loaded separately).

Also, add a workaround for a problem in NdisMSleep(). During system
bootstrap (cold == 1), msleep() always returns 0 without actually
sleeping. The Intel 2200BG driver uses NdisMSleep() to wait for
the NIC's firmware to come to life, and fails to load if NdisMSleep()
doesn't actually delay. As a workaround, if msleep() (and hence
ndis_thsuspend()) returns 0, use a hard DELAY() to sleep instead).
This is not really the right thing to do, but we can't really do much
else. At the very least, this makes the Intel driver happy.

There are probably other drivers that fail in this way during bootstrap.
Unfortunately, the only workaround for those is to avoid pre-loading
them and kldload them once the system is running instead.


# 144888 11-Apr-2005 wpaul

Create new i386 windows/bsd thunking layer, similar to the amd64 thunking
layer, but with a twist.

The twist has to do with the fact that Microsoft supports structured
exception handling in kernel mode. On the i386 arch, exception handling
is implemented by hanging an exception registration list off the
Thread Environment Block (TEB), and the TEB is accessed via the %fs
register. The problem is, we use %fs as a pointer to the pcpu stucture,
which means any driver that tries to write through %fs:0 will overwrite
the curthread pointer and make a serious mess of things.

To get around this, Project Evil now creates a special entry in
the GDT on each processor. When we call into Windows code, a context
switch routine will fix up %fs so it points to our new descriptor,
which in turn points to a fake TEB. When the Windows code returns,
or calls out to an external routine, we swap %fs back again. Currently,
Project Evil makes use of GDT slot 7, which is all 0s by default.
I fully expect someone to jump up and say I can't do that, but I
couldn't find any code that makes use of this entry anywhere. Sadly,
this was the only method I could come up with that worked on both
UP and SMP. (Modifying the LDT works on UP, but becomes incredibly
complicated on SMP.) If necessary, the context switching stuff can
be yanked out while preserving the convention calling wrappers.

(Fortunately, it looks like Microsoft uses some special epilog/prolog
code on amd64 to implement exception handling, so the same nastiness
won't be necessary on that arch.)

The advantages are:

- Any driver that uses %fs as though it were a TEB pointer won't
clobber pcpu.
- All the __stdcall/__fastcall/__regparm stuff that's specific to
gcc goes away.

Also, while I'm here, switch NdisGetSystemUpTime() back to using
nanouptime() again. It turns out nanouptime() is way more accurate
than just using ticks(). On slower machines, the Atheros drivers
I tested seem to take a long time to associate due to the loss
in accuracy.

Fix an amd64 issue I overlooked. When setting up a callout to
ndis_timercall() in NdisMInitializeTimer(), we can't use the raw
function pointer. This is because ntoskrnl_run_dpc() expects to
invoke a function with Microsoft calling conventions. On i386,
this works because ndis_timercall() is declared with the __stdcall
attribute, but this is a no-op on amd64. To do it correctly, we
have to generate a wrapper for ndis_timercall() and us the wrapper
instead of of the raw function pointer.

Fix this by adding ndis_timercall() to the funcptr table in subr_ndis.c,
and create ndis_findwrap() to extract the wrapped function from the
table in NdisMInitializeTimer() instead of just passing ndis_timercall()
to KeInitializeDpc() directly.

Finally bring an end to the great "make the Atheros NDIS driver
work on SMP" saga. After several weeks and much gnashing of teeth,
I have finally tracked down all the problems, despite their best
efforts to confound and annoy me.

Problem nunmber one: the Atheros windows driver is _NOT_ a de-serialized
miniport! It used to be that NDIS drivers relied on the NDIS library
itself for all their locking and serialization needs. Transmit packet
queues were all handled internally by NDIS, and all calls to
MiniportXXX() routines were guaranteed to be appropriately serialized.
This proved to be a performance problem however, and Microsoft
introduced de-serialized miniports with the NDIS 5.x spec. Microsoft
still supports serialized miniports, but recommends that all new drivers
written for Windows XP and later be deserialized. Apparently Atheros
wasn't listening when they said this.

This means (among other things) that we have to serialize calls to
MiniportSendPackets(). We also have to serialize calls to MiniportTimer()
that are triggered via the NdisMInitializeTimer() routine. It finally
dawned on me why NdisMInitializeTimer() takes a special
NDIS_MINIPORT_TIMER structure and a pointer to the miniport block:
the timer callback must be serialized, and it's only by saving the
miniport block handle that we can get access to the serialization
lock during the timer callback.

Problem number two: haunted hardware. The thing that was _really_
driving me absolutely bonkers for the longest time is that, for some
reason I couldn't understand, my test machine would occasionally freeze
or more frustratingly, reset completely. That's reset and in *pow!*
back to the BIOS startup. No panic, no crashdump, just a reset. This
appeared to happen most often when MiniportReset() was called. (As
to why MiniportReset() was being called, see problem three below.)
I thought maybe I had created some sort of horrible deadlock
condition in the process of adding the serialization, but after three
weeks, at least 6 different locking implementations and heroic efforts
to debug the spinlock code, the machine still kept resetting. Finally,
I started single stepping through the MiniportReset() routine in
the driver using the kernel debugger, and this ultimately led me to
the source of the problem.

One of the last things the Atheros MiniportReset() routine does is
call NdisReadPciSlotInformation() several times to inspect a portion
of the device's PCI config space. It reads the same chunk of config
space repeatedly, in rapid succession. Presumeably, it's polling
the hardware for some sort of event. The reset occurs partway through
this process. I discovered that when I single-stepped through this
portion of the routine, the reset didn't occur. So I inserted a 1
microsecond delay into the read loop in NdisReadPciSlotInformation().
Suddenly, the reset was gone!!

I'm still very puzzled by the whole thing. What I suspect is happening
is that reading the PCI config space so quickly is causing a severe
PCI bus error. My test system is a Sun w2100z dual Opteron system,
and the NIC is a miniPCI card mounted in a miniPCI-to-PCI carrier card,
plugged into a 100Mhz PCI slot. It's possible that this combination of
hardware causes a bus protocol violation in this scenario which leads
to a fatal machine check. This is pure speculation though. Really all I
know for sure is that inserting the delay makes the problem go away.
(To quote Homer Simpson: "I don't know how it works, but fire makes
it good!")

Problem number three: NdisAllocatePacket() needs to make sure to
initialize the npp_validcounts field in the 'private' section of
the NDIS_PACKET structure. The reason if_ndis was calling the
MiniportReset() routine in the first place is that packet transmits
were sometimes hanging. When sending a packet, an NDIS driver will
call NdisQueryPacket() to learn how many physical buffers the packet
resides in. NdisQueryPacket() is actually a macro, which traverses
the NDIS_BUFFER list attached to the NDIS_PACKET and stashes some
of the results in the 'private' section of the NDIS_PACKET. It also
sets the npp_validcounts field to TRUE To indicate that the results are
now valid. The problem is, now that if_ndis creates a pool of transmit
packets via NdisAllocatePacketPool(), it's important that each time
a new packet is allocated via NdisAllocatePacket() that validcounts
be initialized to FALSE. If it isn't, and a previously transmitted
NDIS_PACKET is pulled out of the pool, it may contain stale data
from a previous transmission which won't get updated by NdisQueryPacket().
This would cause the driver to miscompute the number of fragments
for a given packet, and botch the transmission.

Fixing these three problems seems to make the Atheros driver happy
on SMP, which hopefully means other serialized miniports will be
happy too.

And there was much rejoicing.

Other stuff fixed along the way:

- Modified ndis_thsuspend() to take a mutex as an argument. This
allows KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to
avoid any possible race conditions with other routines that
use the dispatcher lock.

- Fixed KeCancelTimer() so that it returns the correct value for
'pending' according to the Microsoft documentation

- Modfied NdisGetSystemUpTime() to use ticks and hz rather than
calling nanouptime(). Also added comment that this routine wraps
after 49.7 days.

- Added macros for KeAcquireSpinLock()/KeReleaseSpinLock() to hide
all the MSCALL() goop.

- For x86, KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() needs to be a separate
function. This is because it's supposed to be _stdcall on the x86
arch, whereas KeAcquireSpinLock() is supposed to be _fastcall.
On amd64, all routines use the same calling convention so we can
just map KeAcquireSpinLockRaiseToDpc() directly to KfAcquireSpinLock()
and it will work. (The _fastcall attribute is a no-op on amd64.)

- Implement and use IoInitializeDpcRequest() and IoRequestDpc() (they're
just macros) and use them for interrupt handling. This allows us to
move the ndis_intrtask() routine from if_ndis.c to kern_ndis.c.

- Fix the MmInitializeMdl() macro so that is uses sizeof(vm_offset_t)
when computing mdl_size instead of uint32_t, so that it matches the
MmSizeOfMdl() routine.

- Change a could of M_WAITOKs to M_NOWAITs in the unicode routines in
subr_ndis.c.

- Use the dispatcher lock a little more consistently in subr_ntoskrnl.c.

- Get rid of the "wait for link event" hack in ndis_init(). Now that
I fixed NdisReadPciSlotInformation(), it seems I don't need it anymore.
This should fix the witness panic a couple of people have reported.

- Use MSCALL1() when calling the MiniportHangCheck() function in
ndis_ticktask(). I accidentally missed this one when adding the
wrapping for amd64.

Add support for Windows/x86-64 binaries to Project Evil.
Ville-Pertti Keinonen (will at exomi dot comohmygodnospampleasekthx)
deserves a big thanks for submitting initial patches to make it
work. I have mangled his contributions appropriately.

The main gotcha with Windows/x86-64 is that Microsoft uses a different
calling convention than everyone else. The standard ABI requires using
6 registers for argument passing, with other arguments on the stack.
Microsoft uses only 4 registers, and requires the caller to leave room
on the stack for the register arguments incase the callee needs to
spill them. Unlike x86, where Microsoft uses a mix of _cdecl, _stdcall
and _fastcall, all routines on Windows/x86-64 uses the same convention.
This unfortunately means that all the functions we export to the
driver require an intermediate translation wrapper. Similarly, we have
to wrap all calls back into the driver binary itself.

The original patches provided macros to wrap every single routine at
compile time, providing a secondary jump table with a customized
wrapper for each exported routine. I decided to use a different approach:
the call wrapper for each function is created from a template at
runtime, and the routine to jump to is patched into the wrapper as
it is created. The subr_pe module has been modified to patch in the
wrapped function instead of the original. (On x86, the wrapping
routine is a no-op.)

There are some minor API differences that had to be accounted for:

- KeAcquireSpinLock() is a real function on amd64, not a macro wrapper
around KfAcquireSpinLock()
- NdisFreeBuffer() is actually IoFreeMdl(). I had to change the whole
NDIS_BUFFER API a bit to accomodate this.

Bugs fixed along the way:
- IoAllocateMdl() always returned NULL
- kern_windrv.c:windrv_unload() wasn't releasing private driver object
extensions correctly (found thanks to memguard)

This has only been tested with the driver for the Broadcom 802.11g
chipset, which was the only Windows/x86-64 driver I could find.


# 141524 08-Feb-2005 wpaul

Next step on the road to IRPs: create and use an imitation of the
Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can
simulate driver stacking.

In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT
structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device
ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image
is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up
the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates
a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver
detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for
it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to
that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke
the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT
and the PDO.

The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of
its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and
corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses
IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the
driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers
in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack.
When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack
passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches
the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware)
at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves
driver layering.

Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent
handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the
creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also
does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry,
so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually,
the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from
the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported
device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it
to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call
our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block
is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows.
The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the
DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices
handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.)
We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the
stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created
for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB,
which will actually accept USB IRP.s

Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in
the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing
IRPs between drivers.

Various changes:

- corrected the comments about IRQL handling in subr_hal.c to more
accurately reflect reality
- update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a
global so that if_ndis_pci.o and/or if_ndis_pccard.o can see it.
- Obtain the softc pointer from the miniport block by referencing
the PDO rather than a private pointer of our own (nmb_ifp is no
longer used)
- implement IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), IoDetachDevice(),
IoGetAttachedDevice(), IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension(),
IoGetDriverObjectExtension(), IoCreateDevice(), IoDeleteDevice(),
IoAllocateIrp(), IoReuseIrp(), IoMakeAssociatedIrp(), IoFreeIrp(),
IoInitializeIrp()
- fix a few mistakes in the driver_object and device_object definitions
- add a new module, kern_windrv.c, to handle the driver registration
and relocation/dynalinkign duties (which don't really belong in
kern_ndis.c).
- made ndis_block and ndis_chars in the ndis_softc stucture pointers
and modified all references to it
- fixed NdisMRegisterMiniport() and NdisInitializeWrapper() so they
work correctly with the new driver_object mechanism
- changed ndis_attach() to call NdisAddDevice() instead of ndis_load_driver()
(which is now deprecated)
- used ExAllocatePoolWithTag()/ExFreePool() in lookaside list routines

Apparently, the Intel icc compiler doesn't like it when you use
attributes in casts (i.e. foo = (__stdcall sometype)bar). This only
happens in two places where we need to set up function pointers, so
work around the problem with some void pointer magic.


# 140751 24-Jan-2005 wpaul

Begin the first phase of trying to add IRP support (and ultimately
USB device support):

- Convert all of my locally chosen function names to their actual
Windows equivalents, where applicable. This is a big no-op change
since it doesn't affect functionality, but it helps avoid a bit
of confusion (it's now a lot easier to see which functions are
emulated Windows API routines and which are just locally defined).

- Turn ndis_buffer into an mdl, like it should have been. The structure
is the same, but now it belongs to the subr_ntoskrnl module.

- Implement a bunch of MDL handling macros from Windows and use them where
applicable.

- Correct the implementation of IoFreeMdl().

- Properly implement IoAllocateMdl() and MmBuildMdlForNonPagedPool().

- Add the definitions for struct irp and struct driver_object.

- Add IMPORT_FUNC() and IMPORT_FUNC_MAP() macros to make formatting
the module function tables a little cleaner. (Should also help
with AMD64 support later on.)

- Fix if_ndis.c to use KeRaiseIrql() and KeLowerIrql() instead of
the previous calls to hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() which
have been renamed.

The function renaming generated a lot of churn here, but there should
be very little operational effect.


# 140267 14-Jan-2005 wpaul

Fix a problem reported by Pierre Beyssac. Sometinmes when ndis_get_info()
calls MiniportQueryInformation(), it will return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING.
When this happens, ndis_get_info() will sleep waiting for a completion
event. If two threads call ndis_get_info() and both end up having to
sleep, they will both end up waiting on the same wait channel, which
can cause a panic in sleepq_add() if INVARIANTS are turned on.

Fix this by having ndis_get_info() use a common mutex rather than
using the process mutex with PROC_LOCK(). Also do the same for
ndis_set_info(). Note that Pierre's original patch also made ndis_thsuspend()
use the new mutex, but ndis_thsuspend() shouldn't need this since
it will make each thread that calls it sleep on a unique wait channel.

Also, it occured to me that we probably don't want to enter
MiniportQueryInformation() or MiniportSetInformation() from more
than one thread at any given time, so now we acquire a Windows
spinlock before calling either of them. The Microsoft documentation
says that MiniportQueryInformation() and MiniportSetInformation()
are called at DISPATCH_LEVEL, and previously we would call
KeRaiseIrql() to set the IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL before entering
either routine, but this only guarantees mutual exclusion on
uniprocessor machines. To make it SMP safe, we need to use a real
spinlock. For now, I'm abusing the spinlock embedded in the
NDIS_MINIPORT_BLOCK structure for this purpose. (This may need to be
applied to some of the other routines in kern_ndis.c at a later date.)

Export ntoskrnl_init_lock() (KeInitializeSpinlock()) from subr_ntoskrnl.c
since we need to use in in kern_ndis.c, and since it's technically part
of the Windows kernel DDK API along with the other spinlock routines. Use
it in subr_ndis.c too rather than frobbing the spinlock directly.

Make the Texas Instruments 802.11g chipset work with the NDISulator.
This was tested with a Netgear WG311v2 802.11b/g PCI card. Things
that were fixed:

- This chip has two memory mapped regions, one at PCIR_BAR(0) and the
other at PCIR_BAR(1). This is a little different from the other
chips I've seen with two PCI shared memory regions, since they tend
to have the second BAR ad PCIR_BAR(2). if_ndis_pci.c tests explicitly
for PCIR_BAR(2). This has been changed to simply fill in ndis_res_mem
first and ndis_res_altmem second, if a second shared memory range
exists. Given that NDIS drivers seem to scan for BARs in ascending
order, I think this should be ok.

- Fixed the code that tries to process firmware images that have been
loaded as .ko files. To save a step, I was setting up the address
mapping in ndis_open_file(), but ndis_map_file() flags pre-existing
mappings as an error (to avoid duplicate mappings). Changed this so
that the mapping is now donw in ndis_map_file() as expected.

- Made the typedef for 'driver_entry' explicitly include __stdcall
to silence gcc warning in ndis_load_driver().

NOTE: the Texas Instruments ACX111 driver needs firmware. With my
card, there were 3 .bin files shipped with the driver. You must
either put these files in /compat/ndis or convert them with
ndiscvt -f and kldload them so the driver can use them. Without
the firmware image, the NIC won't work.


# 133127 04-Aug-2004 wpaul

More minor cleanups and one small bug fix:

- In ntoskrnl_var.h, I had defined compat macros for
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() and ntoskrnl_release_spinlock() but
never used them. This is fortunate since they were stale. Fix them
to work properly. (In Windows/x86 KeAcquireSpinLock() is a macro that
calls KefAcquireSpinLock(), which lives in HAL.dll. To imitate this,
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() is just a macro that calls hal_lock(),
which lives in subr_hal.o.)

- Add macros for ntoskrnl_raise_irql() and ntoskrnl_lower_irql() that
call hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql().

- Use these macros in kern_ndis.c, subr_ndis.c and subr_ntoskrnl.c.

- Along the way, I realised subr_ndis.c:ndis_lock() was not calling
hal_lock() correctly (it was using the FASTCALL2() wrapper when
in reality this routine is FASTCALL1()). Using the
ntoskrnl_acquire_spinlock() fixes this. Not sure if this actually
caused any bugs since hal_lock() would have just ignored what
was in %edx, but it was still bogus.

This hides many of the uses of the FASTCALLx() macros which makes the
code a little cleaner. Should not have any effect on generated object
code, other than the one fix in ndis_lock().

# 132973 01-Aug-2004 wpaul

Big mess 'o changes:

- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to process a .SYS file directly into
a .o file so that we don't have to emit big messy char arrays into
the ndis_driver_data.h file. This behavior is currently optional, but
may become the default some day.

- Give ndiscvt(8) the ability to turn arbitrary files into .ko files
so that they can be pre-loaded or kldloaded. (Both this and the
previous change involve using objcopy(1)).

- Give NdisOpenFile() the ability to 'read' files out of kernel memory
that have been kldloaded or pre-loaded, and disallow the use of
the normal vn_open() file opening method during bootstrap (when no
filesystems have been mounted yet). Some people have reported that
kldloading if_ndis.ko works fine when the system is running multiuser
but causes a panic when the modile is pre-loaded by /boot/loader. This
happens with drivers that need to use NdisOpenFile() to access
external files (i.e. firmware images). NdisOpenFile() won't work
during kernel bootstrapping because no filesystems have been mounted.
To get around this, you can now do the following:

o Say you have a firmware file called firmware.img
o Do: ndiscvt -f firmware.img -- this creates firmware.img.ko
o Put the firmware.img.ko in /boot/kernel
o add firmware.img_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf
o add if_ndis_load="YES" and ndis_load="YES" as well

Now the loader will suck the additional file into memory as a .ko. The
phony .ko has two symbols in it: filename_start and filename_end, which
are generated by objcopy(1). ndis_open_file() will traverse each module
in the module list looking for these symbols and, if it finds them, it'll
use them to generate the file mapping address and length values that
the caller of NdisOpenFile() wants.

As a bonus, this will even work if the file has been statically linked
into the kernel itself, since the "kernel" module is searched too.
(ndiscvt(8) will generate both filename.o and filename.ko for you).

- Modify the mechanism used to provide make-pretend FASTCALL support.
Rather than using inline assembly to yank the first two arguments
out of %ecx and %edx, we now use the __regparm__(3) attribute (and
the __stdcall__ attribute) and use some macro magic to re-order
the arguments and provide dummy arguments as needed so that the
arguments passed in registers end up in the right place. Change
taken from DragonflyBSD version of the NDISulator.

Make NdisReadPcmciaAttributeMemory() and NdisWritePcmciaAttributeMemory()
actually work.

Make the PCI and PCCARD attachments provide a bus_get_resource_list()
method so that resource listing for PCCARD works. PCCARD does not
have a bus_get_resource_list() method (yet), so I faked up the
resource list management in if_ndis_pccard.c, and added
bus_get_resource_list() methods to both if_ndis_pccard.c and if_ndis_pci.c.
The one in the PCI attechment just hands off to the PCI bus code.
The difference is transparent to the NDIS resource handler code.

# 131750 07-Jul-2004 wpaul

Fix two problems:

- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_allocate_sharemem(), create the busdma tags
used for shared memory allocations with a lowaddr of 0x3E7FFFFF.
This forces the buffers to be mapped to physical/bus addresses within
the first 1GB of physical memory. It seems that at least one card
(Linksys Instant Wireless PCI V2.7) depends on this behavior. I
don't know if this is a hardware restriction, or if the NDIS
driver for this card is truncating the addresses itself, but using
physical/bus addresses beyong the 1GB limit causes initialization
failures.

- Create am NDIS_INITIALIZED() macro in if_ndisvar.h and use it in
if_ndis.c to test whether the device has been initialized rather
than checking for the presence of the IFF_UP flag in if_flags.
While debugging the previous problem, I noticed that bringing
up the device would always produce failures from ndis_setmulti().
It turns out that the following steps now occur during device
initialization:

- IFF_UP flag is set in if_flags
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFADDR (which we don't handle)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (again)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCADDMULTI (yet again)
- ifp->if_ioctl() called with SIOCSIFFLAGS

Setting the receive filter and multicast filters can only be done
when the underlying NDIS driver has been initialized, which is done
by ifp->if_init(). However, we don't call ifp->if_init() until
ifp->if_ioctl() is called with SIOCSIFFLAGS and IFF_UP has been
set. It appears that now, the network stack tries to add multicast
addresses to interface's filter before those steps occur. Normally,
ndis_setmulti() would trap this condition by checking for the IFF_UP
flag, but the network code has in fact set this flag already, so
ndis_setmulti() is fooled into thinking the interface has been
initialized when it really hasn't.

It turns out this is usually harmless because the ifp->if_init()
routine (in this case ndis_init()) will set up the multicast
filter when it initializes the hardware anyway, and the underlying
routines (ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info()) know that the driver/NIC
haven't been initialized yet, but you end up spurious error messages
on the console all the time.

Something tells me this new behavior isn't really correct. I think
the intention was to fix it so that ifp->if_init() is only called
once when we ifconfig an interface up, but the end result seems a
little bogus: the change of the IFF_UP flag should be propagated
down to the driver before calling any other ioctl() that might actually
require the hardware to be up and running.

In subr_ndis.c, when searching for keys in our make-pretend registry,
make the key name matching case-insensitive. There are some drivers
and .inf files that have mismatched cases, e.g. the driver will look
for "AdhocBand" whereas the .inf file specifies a registry key to be
created called "AdHocBand." The mismatch is probably a typo that went
undetected (so much for QA), but since Windows seems to be case-insensitive,
we should be too.

In if_ndis.c, initialize rates and channels correctly so that specify
frequences correctly when trying to set channels in the 5Ghz band, and
so that 802.11b rates show up for some a/b/g cards (which otherwise
appear to have no 802.11b modes).

Also, when setting OID_802_11_CONFIGURATION in ndis_80211_setstate(),
provide default values for the beacon interval, ATIM window and dwelltime.
The Atheros "Aries" driver will crash if you try to select ad-hoc mode
and leave the beacon interval set to 0: it blindly uses this value and
does a division by 0 in the interrupt handler, causing an integer
divide trap.

# 128229 14-Apr-2004 wpaul

Continue my efforts to imitate Windows as closely as possible by
attempting to duplicate Windows spinlocks. Windows spinlocks differ
from FreeBSD spinlocks in the way they block preemption. FreeBSD
spinlocks use critical_enter(), which masks off _all_ interrupts.
This prevents any other threads from being scheduled, but it also
prevents ISRs from running. In Windows, preemption is achieved by
raising the processor IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL, which prevents other
threads from preempting you, but does _not_ prevent device ISRs
from running. (This is essentially what Solaris calls dispatcher
locks.) The Windows spinlock itself (kspin_lock) is just an integer
value which is atomically set when you acquire the lock and atomically
cleared when you release it.

FreeBSD doesn't have IRQ levels, so we have to cheat a little by
using thread priorities: normal thread priority is PASSIVE_LEVEL,
lowest interrupt thread priority is DISPATCH_LEVEL, highest thread
priority is DEVICE_LEVEL (PI_REALTIME) and critical_enter() is
HIGH_LEVEL. In practice, only PASSIVE_LEVEL and DISPATCH_LEVEL
matter to us. The immediate benefit of all this is that I no
longer have to rely on a mutex pool.

Now, I'm sure many people will be seized by the urge to criticize
me for doing an end run around our own spinlock implementation, but
it makes more sense to do it this way. Well, it does to me anyway.

Overview of the changes:

- Properly implement hal_lock(), hal_unlock(), hal_irql(),
hal_raise_irql() and hal_lower_irql() so that they more closely
resemble their Windows counterparts. The IRQL is determined by
thread priority.

- Make ntoskrnl_lock_dpc() and ntoskrnl_unlock_dpc() do what they do
in Windows, which is to atomically set/clear the lock value. These
routines are designed to be called from DISPATCH_LEVEL, and are
actually half of the work involved in acquiring/releasing spinlocks.

- Add FASTCALL1(), FASTCALL2() and FASTCALL3() macros/wrappers
that allow us to call a _fastcall function in spite of the fact
that our version of gcc doesn't support __attribute__((__fastcall__))
yet. The macros take 1, 2 or 3 arguments, respectively. We need
to call hal_lock(), hal_unlock() etc... ourselves, but can't really
invoke the function directly. I could have just made the underlying
functions native routines and put _fastcall wrappers around them for
the benefit of Windows binaries, but that would create needless bloat.

- Remove ndis_mtxpool and all references to it. We don't need it
anymore.

- Re-implement the NdisSpinLock routines so that they use hal_lock()
and friends like they do in Windows.

- Use the new spinlock methods for handling lookaside lists and
linked list updates in place of the mutex locks that were there
before.

- Remove mutex locking from ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() since they're
already called with ndis_intrmtx held in if_ndis.c.

- Put ndis_destroy_lock() code under explicit #ifdef notdef/#endif.
It turns out there are some drivers which stupidly free the memory
in which their spinlocks reside before calling ndis_destroy_lock()
on them (touch-after-free bug). The ADMtek wireless driver
is guilty of this faux pas. (Why this doesn't clobber Windows I
have no idea.)

- Make NdisDprAcquireSpinLock() and NdisDprReleaseSpinLock() into
real functions instead of aliasing them to NdisAcaquireSpinLock()
and NdisReleaseSpinLock(). The Dpr routines use
KeAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel() level and KeReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel(),
which acquires the lock without twiddling the IRQL.

- In ndis_linksts_done(), do _not_ call ndis_80211_getstate(). Some
drivers may call the status/status done callbacks as the result of
setting an OID: ndis_80211_getstate() gets OIDs, which means we
might cause the driver to recursively access some of its internal
structures unexpectedly. The ndis_ticktask() routine will call
ndis_80211_getstate() for us eventually anyway.

- Fix the channel setting code a little in ndis_80211_setstate(),
and initialize the channel to IEEE80211_CHAN_ANYC. (The Microsoft
spec says you're not supposed to twiddle the channel in BSS mode;
I may need to enforce this later.) This fixes the problems I was
having with the ADMtek adm8211 driver: we were setting the channel
to a non-standard default, which would cause it to fail to associate
in BSS mode.

- Use hal_raise_irql() to raise our IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL when
calling certain miniport routines, per the Microsoft documentation.

I think that's everything. Hopefully, other than fixing the ADMtek
driver, there should be no apparent change in behavior.


# 127887 05-Apr-2004 wpaul

- The MiniportReset() function can return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING, in which
case we should wait for the resetdone handler to be called before
returning.

- When providing resources via ndis_query_resources(), uses the
computed rsclen when using bcopy() to copy out the resource data
rather than the caller-supplied buffer length.

- Avoid using ndis_reset_nic() in if_ndis.c unless we really need
to reset the NIC because of a problem.

- Allow interrupts to be fielded during ndis_attach(), at least
as far as allowing ndis_isr() and ndis_intrhand() to run.

- Use ndis_80211_rates_ex when probing for supported rates. Technically,
this isn't supposed to work since, although Microsoft added the extended
rate structure with the NDIS 5.1 update, the spec still says that
the OID_802_11_SUPPORTED_RATES OID uses ndis_80211_rates. In spite of
this, it appears some drivers use it anyway.

- When adding in our guessed rates, check to see if they already exist
so that we avoid any duplicates.

- Add a printf() to ndis_open_file() that alerts the user when a
driver attempts to open a file under /compat/ndis.

With these changes, I can get the driver for the SMC 2802W 54g PCI
card to load and run. This board uses a Prism54G chip. Note that in
order for this driver to work, you must place the supplied smc2802w.arm
firmware image under /compat/ndis. (The firmware is not resident on
the device.)

Note that this should also allow the 3Com 3CRWE154G72 card to work
as well; as far as I can tell, these cards also use a Prism54G chip.


# 127411 25-Mar-2004 wpaul

- In subr_ndis.c:ndis_init_event(), initialize events as notification
objects rather than synchronization objects. When a sync object is
signaled, only the first thread waiting on it is woken up, and then
it's automatically reset to the not-signaled state. When a
notification object is signaled, all threads waiting on it will
be woken up, and it remains in the signaled state until someone
resets it manually. We want the latter behavior for NDIS events.

- In kern_ndis.c:ndis_convert_res(), we have to create a temporary
copy of the list returned by BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST(). When the PCI
bus code probes resources for a given device, it enters them into
a singly linked list, head first. The result is that traversing
this list gives you the resources in reverse order. This means when
we create the Windows resource list, it will be in reverse order too.
Unfortunately, this can hose drivers for devices with multiple I/O
ranges of the same type, like, say, two memory mapped I/O regions (one
for registers, one to map the NVRAM/bootrom/whatever). Some drivers
test the range size to figure out which region is which, but others
just assume that the resources will be listed in ascending order from
lowest numbered BAR to highest. Reversing the order means such drivers
will choose the wrong resource as their I/O register range.

Since we can't traverse the resource SLIST backwards, we have to
make a temporary copy of the list in the right order and then build
the Windows resource list from that. I suppose we could just fix
the PCI bus code to use a TAILQ instead, but then I'd have to track
down all the consumers of the BUS_GET_RESOURCE_LIST() and fix them
too.


# 127248 20-Mar-2004 wpaul

- Rewrite the timer and event API routines in subr_ndis.c so that they
are actually layered on top of the KeTimer API in subr_ntoskrnl.c, just
as it is in Windows. This reduces code duplication and more closely
imitates the way things are done in Windows.

- Modify ndis_encode_parm() to deal with the case where we have
a registry key expressed as a hex value ("0x1") which is being
read via NdisReadConfiguration() as an int. Previously, we tried
to decode things like "0x1" with strtol() using a base of 10, which
would always yield 0. This is what was causing problems with the
Intel 2200BG Centrino 802.11g driver: the .inf file that comes
with it has a key called RadioEnable with a value of 0x1. We
incorrectly decoded this value to '0' when it was queried, hence
the driver thought we wanted the radio turned off.

- In if_ndis.c, most drivers don't accept NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO,
but NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_SHARED may not be right in some cases,
so for now always use NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_OPEN.

NOTE: There is still one problem with the Intel 2200BG driver: it
happens that the kernel stack in Windows is larger than the kernel
stack in FreeBSD. The 2200BG driver sometimes eats up more than 2
pages of stack space, which can lead to a double fault panic.
For the moment, I got things to work by adding the following to
my kernel config file:

options KSTACK_PAGES=8

I'm pretty sure 8 is too big; I just picked this value out of a hat
as a test, and it happened to work, so I left it. 4 pages might be
enough. Unfortunately, I don't think you can dynamically give a
thread a larger stack, so I'm not sure how to handle this short of
putting a note in the man page about it and dealing with the flood
of mail from people who never read man pages.


# 126833 11-Mar-2004 wpaul

Fix the problem with the Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA card. Most newer drivers
for Windows are deserialized miniports. Such drivers maintain their own
queues and do their own locking. This particular driver is not deserialized
though, and we need special support to handle it correctly.

Typically, in the ndis_rxeof() handler, we pass all incoming packets
directly to (*ifp->if_input)(). This in turn may cause another thread
to run and preempt us, and the packet may actually be processed and
then released before we even exit the ndis_rxeof() routine. The
problem with this is that releasing a packet calls the ndis_return_packet()
function, which hands the packet and its buffers back to the driver.
Calling ndis_return_packet() before ndis_rxeof() returns will screw
up the driver's internal queues since, not being deserialized,
it does no locking.

To avoid this problem, if we detect a serialized driver (by checking
the attribute flags passed to NdisSetAttributesEx(), we use an alternate
ndis_rxeof() handler, ndis_rxeof_serial(), which puts the call to
(*ifp->if_input)() on the NDIS SWI work queue. This guarantees the
packet won't be processed until after ndis_rxeof_serial() returns.

Note that another approach is to always copy the packet data into
another mbuf and just let the driver retain ownership of the ndis_packet
structure (ndis_return_packet() never needs to be called in this
case). I'm not sure which method is faster.


# 126795 10-Mar-2004 wpaul

Fix several issues related to the KeInitializeTimer() etc... API stuff
that I added recently:

- When a periodic timer fires, it's automatically re-armed. We must
make sure to re-arm the timer _before_ invoking any caller-supplied
defered procedure call: the DPC may choose to call KeCancelTimer(),
and re-arming the timer after the DPC un-does the effect of the
cancel.

- Fix similar issue with periodic timers in subr_ndis.c.

- When calling KeSetTimer() or KeSetTimerEx(), if the timer is
already pending, untimeout() it first before timeout()ing
it again.

- The old Atheros driver for the 5211 seems to use KeSetTimerEx()
incorrectly, or at the very least in a very strange way that
doesn't quite follow the Microsoft documentation. In one case,
it calls KeSetTimerEx() with a duetime of 0 and a period of 5000.
The Microsoft documentation says that negative duetime values
are relative to the current time and positive values are absolute.
But it doesn't say what's supposed to happen with positive values
that less than the current time, i.e. absolute values that are
in the past.

Lacking any further information, I have decided that timers with
positive duetimes that are in the past should fire right away (or
in our case, after only 1 tick). This also takes care of the other
strange usage in the Atheros driver, where the duetime is
specified as 500000 and the period is 50. I think someone may
have meant to use -500000 and misinterpreted the documentation.

- Also modified KeWaitForSingleObject() and KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
to make the same duetime adjustment, since they have the same rules
regarding timeout values.

- Cosmetic: change name of 'timeout' variable in KeWaitForSingleObject()
and KeWaitForMultipleObjects() to 'duetime' to avoid senseless
(though harmless) overlap with timeout() function name.

With these fixes, I can get the 5211 card to associate properly with
my adhoc net using driver AR5211.SYS version 2.4.1.6.


# 126568 03-Mar-2004 wpaul

Add sanity checks to the ndis_packet and ndis_buffer pool handling
routines to guard against problems caused by (possibly) buggy drivers.

The RealTek 8180 wireless driver calls NdisFreeBuffer() to release
some of its buffers _after_ it's already called NdisFreeBufferPool()
to destroy the pool to which the buffers belong. In our implementation,
this error causes NdisFreeBuffer() to touch stale heap memory.

If you are running a release kernel, and hence have INVARIANTS et al
turned off, it turns out nothing happens. But if you're using a
development kernel config with INVARIANTS on, the malloc()/free()
sanity checks will scribble over the pool memory with 0xdeadc0de
once it's released so that any attempts to touch it will cause a
trap, and indeed this is what happens. It happens that I run 5.2-RELEASE
on my laptop, so when I tested the rtl8180.sys driver, it worked fine
for me, but people trying to run it with development systems checked
out or cvsupped from -current would get a page fault on driver load.

I can't find any reason why the NDISulator would cause the RealTek
driver to do the NdisFreeBufferPool() prematurely, and the same driver
obviously works with Windows -- or at least, it doesn't cause a crash:
the Microsoft documentation for NdisFreeBufferPool() says that failing
to return all buffers to the pool before calling NdisFreeBufferPool()
causes a memory leak.

I've written to my contacts at RealTek asking them to check if this
is indeed a bug in their driver. In the meantime, these new sanity checks
will catch this problem and issue a warning rather than causing a trap.
The trick is to keep a count of outstanding buffers for each buffer pool,
and if the driver tries to call NdisFreeBufferPool() while there are still
buffers outstanding, we mark the pool for deletion and then defer
destroying it until after the last buffer has been reclaimed.


# 125860 16-Feb-2004 wpaul

More cleanups/fixes for the AMD Am1771 driver:

- When adding new waiting threads to the waitlist for an object,
use INSERT_LIST_TAIL() instead of INSERT_LIST_HEAD() so that new
waiters go at the end of the list instead of the beginning. When we
wake up a synchronization object, only the first waiter is awakened,
and this needs to be the first thread that actually waited on the object.

- Correct missing semicolon in INSERT_LIST_TAIL() macro.

- Implement lookaside lists correctly. Note that the Am1771 driver
uses lookaside lists to manage shared memory (i.e. DMAable) buffers
by specifying its own alloc and free routines. The Microsoft documentation
says you should avoid doing this, but apparently this did not deter
the developers at AMD from doing it anyway.

With these changes (which are the result of two straight days of almost
non-stop debugging), I think I finally have the object/thread handling
semantics implemented correctly. The Am1771 driver no longer crashes
unexpectedly during association or bringing the interface up.


# 125599 08-Feb-2004 wpaul

Make NdisMMapIoSpace() guard against NULL/uninitialized resource pointers too.


# 125598 08-Feb-2004 wpaul

Make NdisMMapIoSpace() handle the case where a device has both mem
and altmem ranges mapped.


# 125582 07-Feb-2004 wpaul

Argh. kthread_suspend() when in P_KTHREAD context, tsleep() when not,
not the other way around.


# 125577 07-Feb-2004 wpaul

Correct an intance of mtx_pool_lock() that should have been mtx_pool_unlock().


# 125551 07-Feb-2004 wpaul

Add a whole bunch of new stuff to make the driver for the AMD Am1771/Am1772
802.11b chipset work. This chip is present on the SMC2602W version 3
NIC, which is what was used for testing. This driver creates kernel
threads (12 of them!) for various purposes, and required the following
routines:

PsCreateSystemThread()
PsTerminateSystemThread()
KeInitializeEvent()
KeSetEvent()
KeResetEvent()
KeInitializeMutex()
KeReleaseMutex()
KeWaitForSingleObject()
KeWaitForMultipleObjects()
IoGetDeviceProperty()

and several more. Also, this driver abuses the fact that NDIS events
and timers are actually Windows events and timers, and uses NDIS events
with KeWaitForSingleObject(). The NDIS event routines have been rewritten
to interface with the ntoskrnl module. Many routines with incorrect
prototypes have been cleaned up.

Also, this driver puts jobs on the NDIS taskqueue (via NdisScheduleWorkItem())
which block on events, and this interferes with the operation of
NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync(), which was also being put on the
NDIS taskqueue. To avoid the deadlock, NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync()
is now performed in the NDIS SWI thread instead.

There's still room for some cleanups here, and I really should implement
KeInitializeTimer() and friends.


# 125413 04-Feb-2004 wpaul

Correct/improve the implementation of NdisMAllocateSharedMemoryAsync().
Since we have a worker thread now, we can actually do the allocation
asynchronously in that thread's context. Also, we need to return a
status value: if we're unable to queue up the async allocation, we
return NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE, otherwise we return NDIS_STATUS_PENDING
to indicate the allocation has been queued and will occur later.

This replaces the kludge where we just invoked the callback routine
right away in the current context.


# 125377 03-Feb-2004 wpaul

Implement support for single packet sends. The Intel Centrino driver
that Asus provides on its CDs has both a MiniportSend() routine
and a MiniportSendPackets() function. The Microsoft NDIS docs say
that if a driver has both, only the MiniportSendPackets() routine
will be used. Although I think I implemented the support correctly,
calling the MiniportSend() routine seems to result in no packets going
out on the air, even though no error status is returned. The
MiniportSendPackets() function does work though, so at least in
this case it doesn't matter.

In if_ndis.c:ndis_getstate_80211(), if ndis_get_assoc() returns
an error, don't bother trying to obtain any other state since the
calls may fail, or worse cause the underlying driver to crash.

(The above two changes make the Asus-supplied Centrino work.)

Also, when calling the OID_802_11_CONFIGURATION OID, remember
to initialize the structure lengths correctly.

In subr_ndis.c:ndis_open_file(), set the current working directory
to rootvnode if we're in a thread that doesn't have a current
working directory set.


# 125069 27-Jan-2004 wpaul

Implement NdisVirtualBufferAddress() and NdisVirtualBufferAddressSafe().

The RealTek 8180 driver seems to need this.


# 125057 26-Jan-2004 wpaul

Reorganize the timer code a little and implement NdisInitializeTimer()
and NdisCancelTimer(). NdisInitializeTimer() doesn't accept an NDIS
miniport context argument, so we have to derive it from the timer
function context (which is supposed to be the adapter private context).
NdisCancelTimer is now an alias for NdisMCancelTimer().

Also add stubs for NdisMRegisterDevice() and NdisMDeregisterDevice().
These are no-ops for now, but will likely get fleshed in once I start
working on the Am1771/Am1772 wireless driver.


# 124697 18-Jan-2004 wpaul

Convert from using taskqueue_swi to using private kernel threads. The
problem with using taskqueue_swi is that some of the things we defer
into threads might block for up to several seconds. This is an unfriendly
thing to do to taskqueue_swi, since it is assumed the taskqueue threads
will execute fairly quickly once a task is submitted. Reorganized the
locking in if_ndis.c in the process.

Cleaned up ndis_write_cfg() and ndis_decode_parm() a little.


# 124541 15-Jan-2004 wpaul

Implement NdisCopyFromPacketToPacket() and NdisCopyFromPacketToPacketSafe().
I only have one driver that references this routine (for the 3Com 3cR990)
and it never gets called, but just in case, here it is.


# 124509 13-Jan-2004 wpaul

mp_ncpus is always defined now, so no need to do an #ifdef SMP in
ndis_cpu_cnt().


# 124504 13-Jan-2004 obrien

AMD64 has a single MS-Win calling convention, so provide an empty __stdcall.
Centralize the definition to make it easier to change.


# 124454 12-Jan-2004 wpaul

Loosen up the range test in ndis_register_ioport(). Allow drivers to
map ranges that are smaller than what our resource manager code knows
is available, rather than requiring that they match exactly. This
fixes a problem with the Intel PRO/1000 gigE driver: it wants to map
a range of 32 I/O ports, even though some chips appear set up to
decode a range of 64. With this fix, it loads and runs correctly.


# 124409 12-Jan-2004 wpaul

Merge in some changes submitted by Brian Feldman. Among other things,
these add support for listing BSSIDs via wicontrol -l. I added code
to call OID_802_11_BSSID_LIST_SCAN to allow scanning for any nearby
wirelsss nets.

Convert from using individual mutexes to a mutex pool, created in
subr_ndis.c. This deals with the problem of drivers creating locks
in their DriverEntry() routines which might get trashed later.

Put some messages under IFF_DEBUG.


# 124278 09-Jan-2004 wpaul

The private data section of ndis_packets has a 'packet flags' byte
which has two important flags in it: the 'allocated by NDIS' flag
and the 'media specific info present' flag. There are two Windows macros
for getting/setting media specific info fields within the ndis_packet
structure which can behave improperly if these flags are not initialized
correctly when a packet is allocated. It seems the correct thing
to do is always set the NDIS_PACKET_ALLOCATED_BY_NDIS flag on
all newly allocated packets.

This fixes the crashes with the Intel Centrino wireless driver.
My sample card now seems to work correctly.

Also, fix a potential LOR involving ndis_txeof() in if_ndis.c.


# 124272 09-Jan-2004 wpaul

Implement NdisOpenFile()/NdisCloseFile()/NdisMapFile()/NdisUnmapFile().
By default, we search for files in /compat/ndis. This can be changed with
a systcl. These routines are used by some drivers which need to download
firmware or microcode into their respective devices during initialization.

Also, remove extraneous newlines from the 'built-in' sysctl/registry
variables.


# 124228 07-Jan-2004 wpaul

It appears drivers may call NdisWriteErrorLogEntry() with locks
held. However, if we need to translate a unicode message table message,
ndis_unicode_to_ascii() might malloc() some memory, which causes
a warning from witness. Avoid this by using some stack space to hold
the translated message. (Also bounds check to make sure we don't
overrun the stack buffer.)


# 124203 07-Jan-2004 wpaul

Use atomic ops for the interlocked increment and decrement routines
in subr_ndis and subr_ntoskrnl. This is faster and avoids potential
LOR whinage from witness (an LOR couldn't happen with the old code
since the interlocked inc/dec routines could not sleep with a lock
held, but this will keep witness happy and it's more efficient
anyway. I think.)


# 124202 07-Jan-2004 wpaul

In subr_ndis.c: correct ndis_interlock_inc() and ndis_interlock_dec()
so we increment the right thing. (All work and not enough parens
make Bill something something...) This makes the RealTek 8139C+
driver work correctly.

Also fix some mtx_lock_spin()s and mtx_unlock_spin()s that should
have been just plain mtx_lock()s and mtx_unlock()s.

In kern_ndis.c: remove duplicate code from ndis_send_packets() and
just call the senddone handler (ndis_txeof()).


# 124173 06-Jan-2004 wpaul

Clean up pe_get_message(). Allow the caller to obtain the resource
flag so that it can see if the message string is unicode or not and
do the conversion itself rather than doing it in subr_pe.c. This
prevents subr_pe.c from being dependent on subr_ndis.c.


# 124165 06-Jan-2004 wpaul

- Add pe_get_message() and pe_get_messagetable() for processing
the RT_MESSAGETABLE resources that some driver binaries have.
This allows us to print error messages in ndis_syslog().

- Correct the implementation of InterlockedIncrement() and
InterlockedDecrement() -- they return uint32_t, not void.

- Correct the declarations of the 64-bit arithmetic shift
routines in subr_ntoskrnl.c (_allshr, allshl, etc...). These
do not follow the _stdcall convention: instead, they appear
to be __attribute__((regparm(3)).

- Change the implementation of KeInitializeSpinLock(). There is
no complementary KeFreeSpinLock() function, so creating a new
mutex on each call to KeInitializeSpinLock() leaks resources
when a driver is unloaded. For now, KeInitializeSpinLock()
returns a handle to the ntoskrnl interlock mutex.

- Use a driver's MiniportDisableInterrupt() and MiniportEnableInterrupt()
routines if they exist. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right
yet, but at the very least this shouldn't break any currently
working drivers, and it makes the Intel PRO/1000 driver work.

- In ndis_register_intr(), save some state that might be needed
later, and save a pointer to the driver's interrupt structure
in the ndis_miniport_block.

- Save a pointer to the driver image for use by ndis_syslog()
when it calls pe_get_message().


# 124135 04-Jan-2004 wpaul

Modify if_ndis.c so that the MiniportISR function runs in ndis_intr()
and MiniportHandleInterrupt() is fired off later via a task queue in
ndis_intrtask(). This more accurately follows the NDIS interrupt handling
model, where the ISR does a minimal amount of work in interrupt context
and the handler is defered and run at a lower priority.

Create a separate ndis_intrmtx mutex just for the guarding the ISR.

Modify NdisSynchronizeWithInterrupt() to aquire the ndis_intrmtx
mutex before invoking the synchronized procedure. (The purpose of
this function is to provide mutual exclusion for code that shares
variables with the ISR.)

Modify NdisMRegisterInterrupt() to save a pointer to the miniport
block in the ndis_miniport_interrupt structure so that
NdisSynchronizeWithInterrupt() can grab it later and derive
ndis_intrmtx from it.


# 124122 04-Jan-2004 wpaul

Implement NdisScheduleWorkItem() and RtlCompareMemory().

Also, call the libinit and libfini routines from the modevent
handler in kern_ndis.c. This simplifies the initialization a little.


# 124116 04-Jan-2004 wpaul

In ndis_attach(), report the NDIS API level that the Windows miniport
driver was compiled with.

Remove debug printf from ndis_assicn_pcirsc(). It doesn't serve
much purpose.

Implement NdisMIndicateStatus() and NdisMIndicateStatusComplete()
as functions in subr_ndis.c. In NDIS 4.0, they were functions. In
NDIS 5.0 and later, they're just macros.

Allocate a few extra packets/buffers beyond what the driver asks
for since sometimes it seems they can lie about how many they really
need, and some extra stupid ones don't check to see if NdisAllocatePacket()
and/or NdisAllocateBuffer() actually succeed.


# 124100 03-Jan-2004 wpaul

In if_ndis.c:ndis_attach(), temporarily set the IFF_UP flag while
calling the haltfunc. If an interrupt is triggered by the init
or halt func, the IFF_UP flag must be set in order for us to be able
to service it.

In kern_ndis.c: implement a handler for NdisMSendResourcesAvailable()
(currently does nothing since we don't really need it).

In subr_ndis.c:
- Correct ndis_init_string() and ndis_unicode_to_ansi(),
which were both horribly broken.
- Implement NdisImmediateReadPciSlotInformation() and
NdisImmediateWritePciSlotInformation().
- Implement NdisBufferLength().
- Work around my first confirmed NDIS driver bug.
The SMC 9462 gigE driver (natsemi 83820-based copper)
incorrectly creates a spinlock in its DriverEntry()
routine and then destroys it in its MiniportHalt()
handler. This is wrong: spinlocks should be created
in MiniportInit(). In a Windows environment, this is
often not a problem because DriverEntry()/MiniportInit()
are called once when the system boots and MiniportHalt()
or the shutdown handler is called when the system halts.

With this stuff in place, this driver now seems to work:

ndis0: <SMC EZ Card 1000> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xda000000-0xda000fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
ndis0: assign PCI resources...
ndis_open_file("FLASH9.hex", 18446744073709551615)
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:04:e2:0e:d3:f0


# 124097 03-Jan-2004 wpaul

subr_hal.c: implement WRITE_PORT_BUFFER_xxx() and READ_PORT_BUFFER_xxx()
subr_ndis.c: implement NdisDprAllocatePacket() and NdisDprFreePacket()
(which are aliased to NdisAllocatePacket() and NdisFreePacket()), and
bump the value we return in ndis_mapreg_cnt() to something ridiculously
large, since some drivers apparently expect to be able to allocate
way more than just 64.

These changes allow the Level 1 1000baseSX driver to work for
the following card:

ndis0: <SMC TigerCard 1000 Adapter> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xda004000-0xda0043ff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:29:6f:cc:04

This is already supported by the lge(4) driver, but I decided
to take a try at making the Windows driver that came with it work too,
since I still had the floppy diskette for it lying around.


# 124094 03-Jan-2004 wpaul

Tweak ndiscvt to support yet another flavor of .INF files (look for
the NTx86 section decoration).

subr_ndis.c: correct the behavior of ndis_query_resources(): if the
caller doesn't provide enough space to return the resources, tell it
how much it needs to provide and return an error.

subr_hal.c & subr_ntoskrnl.c: implement/stub a bunch of new routines;

ntoskrnl:

KefAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel
KefReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel
MmMapLockedPages
InterlockedDecrement
InterlockedIncrement
IoFreeMdl
KeInitializeSpinLock

HAL:

KfReleaseSpinLock
KeGetCurrentIrql
KfAcquireSpinLock

Lastly, correct spelling of "_aullshr" in the ntoskrnl functable.


# 124060 02-Jan-2004 wpaul

Clean up ndiscvt a bit (leaving out the -i flag didn't work) and add
copyrights to the inf parser files.

Add a -n flag to ndiscvt to allow the user to override the default
device name of NDIS devices. Instead of "ndis0, ndis1, etc..."
you can have "foo0, foo1, etc..." This allows you to have more than
one kind of NDIS device in the kernel at the same time.

Convert from printf() to device_printf() in if_ndis.c, kern_ndis.c
and subr_ndis.c.

Create UMA zones for ndis_packet and ndis_buffer structs allocated
on transmit. The zones are created and destroyed in the modevent
handler in kern_ndis.c.

printf() and UMA changes submitted by green@freebsd.org


# 123941 28-Dec-2003 wpaul

Implement NdisInitUnicodeString().


# 123940 28-Dec-2003 wpaul

Remove the sanity test in ndis_adjust_buflen(). I'm not sure what the
nb_size field in an ndis_buffer is meant to represent, but it does not
represent the original allocation size, so the sanity check doesn't
make any sense now that we're using the Windows-mandated initialization
method.

Among other things, this makes the following card work with the
NDISulator:

ndis0: <NETGEAR PA301 Phoneline10X PCI Adapter> mem 0xda004000-0xda004fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0

This is that notoriously undocumented 10Mbps HomePNA Broadcom chipset
that people wanted support for many moons ago. Sadly, the only other
HomePNA NIC I have handy is a 1Mbps device, so I can't actually do
any 10Mbps performance tests, but it talks to my 1Mbps ADMtek card
just fine.


# 123848 26-Dec-2003 wpaul

Back out the last batch of changes until I have a chance to properly
evaluate them. Whatever they're meant to do, they're doing it wrong.

Also:

- Clean up last bits of NULL fallout in subr_pe
- Don't let ndis_ifmedia_sts() do anything if the IFF_UP flag isn't set
- Implement NdisSystemProcessorCount() and NdisQueryMapRegisterCount().


# 123846 26-Dec-2003 green

Don't call the miniport driver's releasepacket function unless the
packet being freed has NDIS_STATUS_PENDING in the status field of
the OOB data. Finish implementing the "alternative" packet-releasing
function so it doesn't crash.

For those that are curious about ndis0: <ORiNOCO 802.11abg ComboCard Gold>:
1123 packets transmitted, 1120 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.837/6.146/13.919/1.925 ms

Not bad!


# 123832 25-Dec-2003 wpaul

Give the timer API one last overhaul: this time, use the new callout
API instead of the old timeout/untimeout mechanism.


# 123822 24-Dec-2003 wpaul

- Add stubs for Ndis*File() functions
- Fix ndis_time().
- Implement NdisGetSystemUpTime().
- Implement RtlCopyUnicodeString() and RtlUnicodeStringToAnsiString().
- In ndis_getstate_80211(), use sc->ndis_link to determine connect
status.

Submitted by: Brian Feldman <green@freebsd.org>


# 123821 24-Dec-2003 wpaul

- Fix some compiler warnings in subr_pe.c
- Add explicit cardbus attachment in if_ndis.c
- Clean up after moving bus_setup_intr() in ndis_attach().
- When setting an ssid, program an empty ssid as a 1-byte string
with a single 0 byte. The Microsoft documentation says this is
how you're supposed to tell the NIC to attach to 'any' ssid.
- Keep trace of callout handles for timers externally from the
ndis_miniport_timer structs, and run through and clobber them
all after invoking the haltfunc just in case the driver left one
running. (We need to make sure all timers are cancelled on driver
unload.)
- Handle the 'cancelled' argument in ndis_cancel_timer() correctly.


# 123757 23-Dec-2003 wpaul

Re-do the handling of ndis_buffers. The NDIS_BUFFER structure is
supposed to be opaque to the driver, however it is exposed through
several macros which expect certain behavior. In my original
implementation, I used the mappedsystemva member of the structure
to hold a pointer to the buffer and bytecount to hold the length.
It turns out you must use the startva pointer to point to the
page containing the start of the buffer and set byteoffset to
the offset within the page where the buffer starts. So, for a buffer
with address 'baseva,' startva is baseva & ~(PAGE_SIZE -1) and
byteoffset is baseva & (PAGE_SIZE -1). We have to maintain this
convention everywhere that ndis_buffers are used.

Fortunately, Microsoft defines some macros for initializing and
manipulating NDIS_BUFFER structures in ntddk.h. I adapted some
of them for use here and used them where appropriate.

This fixes the discrepancy I observed between how RX'ed packet sizes
were being reported in the Broadcom wireless driver and the sample
ethernet drivers that I've tested. This should also help the
Intel Centrino wireless driver work.

Also try to properly initialize the 802.11 BSS and IBSS channels.
(Sadly, the channel value is meaningless since there's no way
in the existing NDIS API to get/set the channel, but this should
take care of any 'invalid channel (NULL)' messages printed on
the console.


# 123723 22-Dec-2003 wpaul

Some minor touchups:

In NdisQueryBuffer() and NdisQueryBufferSafe(), the vaddr argument is
optional, so test it before trying to dereference it.

Also correct NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacket()/NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacketSafe():
we need to use nb_mappedsystemva from the buffer, not nb_systemva.


# 123721 22-Dec-2003 wpaul

Now that I finally have power back, implement a couple more NDIS API
routines: NdisUnchainBufferAtBack(), NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacketSafe()
and NdisGetFirstBufferFromPacket(). This should bring us a little
closer to getting the Intel centrino wireless NIC to work.

Note: I have not actually tested these additions since I don't
have a driver that calls them, however they're pretty simple, and
one of them is taken pretty much directly from the Windows ndis.h
header file, so I'm fairly confident they work, but disclaimers
apply.


# 123695 20-Dec-2003 wpaul

Big round of updates:

- Make ndis_get_info()/ndis_set_info() sleep on the setdone/getdone
routines if they get back NDIS_STATUS_PENDING.

- Add a bunch of net80211 support so that 802.11 cards can be twiddled
with ifconfig. This still needs more work and is not guaranteed to
work for everyone. It works on my 802.11b/g card anyway.

The problem here is Microsoft doesn't provide a good way to a) learn
all the rates that a card supports (if it has more than 8, you're
kinda hosed) and b) doesn't provide a good way to distinguish between
802.11b, 802.11b/g an 802.11a/b/g cards, so you sort of have to guess.

Setting the SSID and switching between infrastructure/adhoc modes
should work. WEP still needs to be implemented. I can't find any API
for getting/setting the channel other than the registry/sysctl keys.


# 123573 16-Dec-2003 wpaul

Implement NdisGetBufferPhysicalArraySize(), which apparently is a
synonym for NDIS_BUFFER_TO_SPAN_PAGES().


# 123526 13-Dec-2003 wpaul

Implement a few new NDIS routines: NdisInitAnsiString(),
NdisAnsiStringToUnicodeString(), NdisWriteConfiguration().

Also add stubs for NdisMGetDeviceProperty(), NdisTerminateWrapper(),
NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByName(), NdisOpenConfigurationKeyByIndex()
and NdisMGetDeviceProperty().


# 123512 13-Dec-2003 wpaul

Correct the implementation of NDIS_BUFFER_TO_SPAN_PAGES().


# 123507 13-Dec-2003 wpaul

subr_ndis.c:
- fix ndis_time() so that it returns a time based on the proper
epoch (wacky though it may be)
- implement NdisInitializeString() and NdisFreeString(), and add
stub for NdisMRemoveMiniport()

ntoskrnl_var.h:
- add missing member to the general_lookaside struct (gl_listentry)

subr_ntoskrnl.c:
- Fix arguments to the interlocked push/pop routines: 'head' is an
slist_header *, not an slist_entry *
- Kludge up _fastcall support for the push/pop routines. The _fastcall
convention is similar to _stdcall, except the first two available
DWORD-sized arguments are passed in %ecx and %edx, respectively.
One kludge for this __attribute__ ((regparm(3))), however this
isn't entirely right, as it assumes %eax, %ecx and %edx will be
used (regparm(2) assumes %eax and %edx). Another kludge is to
declare the two fastcall-ed args as local register variables and
explicitly assign them to %ecx and %edx, but experimentation showed
that gcc would not guard %ecx and %edx against being clobbered.
Thus, I came up with a 3rd kludge, which is to use some inline
assembly of the form:

void *arg1;
void *arg2;

__asm__("movl %%ecx, %%ecx" : "=c" (arg1));
__asm__("movl %%edx, %%edx" : "=d" (arg2));

This lets gcc know that we're going to reference %ecx and %edx and
that it should make an effort not to let it get trampled. This wastes
an instruction (movl %reg, %reg is a no-op) but insures proper
behavior. It's possible there's a better way to do this though:
this is the first time I've used inline assembler in this fashion.

The above fixes to ntoskrnl_var.h an subr_ntoskrnl.c make lookaside
lists work for the two drivers I have that use them, one of which
is an NDIS 5.0 miniport and another which is 5.1.

Implement some more NDIS and ntoskrnl API calls:

subr_ndis.c: NdisGetCurrentSystemTime() which, according to the
Microsoft documentation returns "the number of 100 nanosecond
intervals since January 1, 1601." I have no idea what's so special
about that epoch or why they chose 100 nanosecond ticks. I don't
know the proper offset to convert nanotime() from the UNIX epoch
to January 1, 1601, so for now I'm just doing the unit convertion
to 100s of nanoseconds.

subr_ntoskrnl.c: memcpy(), memset(), ExInterlockedPopEntrySList(),
ExInterlockedPushEntrySList().

The latter two are different from InterlockedPopEntrySList()
and InterlockedPushEntrySList() in that they accept a spinlock to
hold while executing, whereas the non-Ex routines use a lock
internal to ntoskrnl. I also modified ExInitializePagedLookasideList()
and ExInitializeNPagedLookasideList() to initialize mutex locks
within the lookaside structures. It seems that in NDIS 5.0,
the lookaside allocate/free routines ExInterlockedPopEntrySList()
and ExInterlockedPushEntrySList(), which require the use of the
per-lookaside spinlock, whereas in NDIS 5.1, the per-lookaside
spinlock is deprecated. We need to support both cases.

Note that I appear to be doing something wrong with
ExInterlockedPopEntrySList() and ExInterlockedPushEntrySList():
they don't appear to obtain proper pointers to their arguments,
so I'm probably doing something wrong in terms of their calling
convention (they're declared to be FASTCALL in Widnows, and I'm
not sure what that means for gcc). It happens that in my stub
lookaside implementation, they don't need to do any work anyway,
so for now I've hacked them to always return NULL, which avoids
corrupting the stack. I need to do this right though.

Correct the behavior of ndis_adjust_buflen(): the NDIS spec says
it's an error to set the buffer bytecount to anything larger than
the buffer's original allocation size, but anything less than that
is ok.

Also, in ndis_ptom(), use the same logic: if the bytecount is
larger than the allocation size, consider the bytecount invalid
and the allocation size as the packet fragment length (m_len)
instead of the bytecount.

This corrects a consistency problem between the Broadcom wireless
driver and some of the ethernet drivers I've tested: the ethernet
drivers all report the packet frag sizes in buf->nb_bytecount, but
the Broadcom wireless driver reports them in buf->nb_size. This
seems like a bug to me, but it clearly must work in Windows, so
we have to deal with it here too.

Commit the first cut of Project Evil, also known as the NDISulator.

Yes, it's what you think it is. Yes, you should run away now.

This is a special compatibility module for allowing Windows NDIS
miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD/x86. This provides
_binary_ NDIS compatibility (not source): you can run NDIS driver
code, but you can't build it. There are three main parts:

sys/compat/ndis: the NDIS compat API, which provides binary
compatibility functions for many routines in NDIS.SYS, HAL.dll
and ntoskrnl.exe in Windows (these are the three modules that
most NDIS miniport drivers use). The compat module also contains
a small PE relocator/dynalinker which relocates the Windows .SYS
image and then patches in our native routines.

sys/dev/if_ndis: the if_ndis driver wrapper. This module makes
use of the ndis compat API and can be compiled with a specially
prepared binary image file (ndis_driver_data.h) containing the
Windows .SYS image and registry key information parsed out of the
accompanying .INF file. Once if_ndis.ko is built, it can be loaded
and unloaded just like a native FreeBSD kenrel module.

usr.sbin/ndiscvt: a special utility that converts foo.sys and foo.inf
into an ndis_driver_data.h file that can be compiled into if_ndis.o.
Contains an .inf file parser graciously provided by Matt Dodd (and
mercilessly hacked upon by me) that strips out device ID info and
registry key info from a .INF file and packages it up with a binary
image array. The ndiscvt(8) utility also does some manipulation of
the segments within the .sys file to make life easier for the kernel
loader. (Doing the manipulation here saves the kernel code from having
to move things around later, which would waste memory.)

ndiscvt is only built for the i386 arch. Only files.i386 has been
updated, and none of this is turned on in GENERIC. It should probably
work on pc98. I have no idea about amd64 or ia64 at this point.

This is still a work in progress. I estimate it's about %85 done, but
I want it under CVS control so I can track subsequent changes. It has
been tested with exactly three drivers: the LinkSys LNE100TX v4 driver
(Lne100v4.sys), the sample Intel 82559 driver from the Windows DDK
(e100bex.sys) and the Broadcom BCM43xx wireless driver (bcmwl5.sys). It
still needs to have a net80211 stuff added to it. To use it, you would
do something like this:

# cd /sys/modules/ndis
# make; make load
# cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
# ndiscvt -i /path/to/foo.inf -s /path/to/foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
# make; make load
# sysctl -a | grep ndis

All registry keys are mapped to sysctl nodes. Sometimes drivers refer
to registry keys that aren't mentioned in foo.inf. If this happens,
the NDIS API module creates sysctl nodes for these keys on the fly so
you can tweak them.

An example usage of the Broadcom wireless driver would be:

# sysctl hw.ndis0.EnableAutoConnect=1
# sysctl hw.ndis0.SSID="MY_SSID"
# sysctl hw.ndis0.NetworkType=0 (0 for bss, 1 for adhoc)
# ifconfig ndis0 <my ipaddr> netmask 0xffffff00 up

Things to be done:

- get rid of debug messages
- add in ndis80211 support
- defer transmissions until after a status update with
NDIS_STATUS_CONNECTED occurs
- Create smarter lookaside list support
- Split off if_ndis_pci.c and if_ndis_pccard.c attachments
- Make sure PCMCIA support works
- Fix ndiscvt to properly parse PCMCIA device IDs from INF files
- write ndisapi.9 man page
