MFC r349321: Improve AHCI Enclosure Management and SES interoperation.

Since SES specs do not define mechanism to map enclosure slots to SATA
disks, AHCI EM code I written many years ago appeared quite useless,
that always bugged me. I was thinking whether it was a good idea, but
if LSI HBAs do that, why I shouldn't?

This change introduces simple non-standard mechanism for the mapping
into both AHCI EM and SES code, that makes AHCI EM on capable controllers
(most of Intel's) a first-class SES citizen, allowing it to report disk
physical path to GEOM, show devices inserted into each enclosure slot in
`sesutil map` and `getencstat`, control locate and fault LEDs for specific
devices with `sesutil locate adaX on` and `sesutil fault adaX on`, etc.

I've successfully tested this on Supermicro X10DRH-i motherboard connected
with sideband cable of its S-SATA Mini-SAS connector to SAS815TQ backplane.
It can indicate with LEDs Locate, Fault and Rebuild/Remap SES statuses for
each disk identical to real SES of Supermicro SAS2 backplanes.


# 350792 08-Aug-2019 mav

MFC r340092 (by imp): Implement ability to turn on/off PHYs for AHCI devices.

As part of Chuck's work on fixing kernel crashes caused by disk I/O
errors, it is useful to be able to trigger various kinds of
errors. This patch allows causing an AHCI-attached disk to disappear,
by having the driver keep the PHY disabled when the driver would
otherwise enable the PHY. It also allows making the disk reappear by
having the driver go back to setting the PHY enable/disable state as
it normal would and simulating the hardware event that causes a bus
rescan.

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
limited to gonzo, kevans, rgrimes.

# 331493 24-Mar-2018 ian

MFC r324186:

Define a single instance of ahci_devclass and reference it from all the
attachment code for various SOCs and busses. Remove all the static and
should-have-been-static and named-differently instances of it.

This should eliminate the recently-grown build warnings about multiple
definitions when building arm kernels.

MFC r312767: Partially workaround ASMedia HBA error recovery.

READ LOG EXT times out after NCQ error. This patch workarounds first two
problems, that were making ATAPI devices close to unusable on these HBAs.

# 302402 07-Jul-2016 mav

Fix ahci(4) driver attach to controller with 32 ports.

Incorrect sign expansion in variables that supposed to be a bit fields
caused infinite loop. Fixing this allows system properly detect maximal
possible 32 devices configured on AHCI HBA of BHyVe. That case did not
happen in a wild before due to lack of hardware AHCI HBAs with 32 ports.

# 294883 27-Jan-2016 jhibbits

Convert rman to use rman_res_t instead of u_long

Summary:
Migrate to using the semi-opaque type rman_res_t to specify rman resources. For
now, this is still compatible with u_long.

This is step one in migrating rman to use uintmax_t for resources instead of
u_long.

Going forward, this could feasibly be used to specify architecture-specific
definitions of resource ranges, rather than baking a specific integer type into
the API.

This change has been broken out to facilitate MFC'ing drivers back to 10 without
breaking ABI.

# 285090 03-Jul-2015 loos

Add AHCI attachment code for Allwinner A10/A20 SoCs.

The Allwinner SoC has an AHCI device on its internal main bus rather
than the PCI bus. This SoC is somewhat underdocumented, and its SATA
controller is no exception. The methods to support this chip were
harvested from the Linux Allwinner SDK, and then constants invented to
describe what's going on based on low-level constants contained in the
SATA standard and guess work.

This SoC requires a specific AHCI channel setup in order to start the
operations on the channel properly.

Clock setup and AHCI channel setup idea came from NetBSD.

Tested on Cubieboard 2 and Banana pi (and attachment on Cubieboard by
Pratik Singhal).

Separate out PCI attachment from the main AHCI driver. Move checks of

and possibly other bus attachments can use them.

The split isn't perfect yet, but it is functional. The split will be
perfected as other bus attachments for AHCI are written.

# 256843 21-Oct-2013 mav

Merge CAM locking changes from the projects/camlock branch to radically
reduce lock congestion and improve SMP scalability of the SCSI/ATA stack,
preparing the ground for the coming next GEOM direct dispatch support.

Replace big per-SIM locks with bunch of smaller ones:
- per-LUN locks to protect device and peripheral drivers state;
- per-target locks to protect list of LUNs on target;
- per-bus locks to protect reference counting;
- per-send queue locks to protect queue of CCBs to be sent;
- per-done queue locks to protect queue of completed CCBs;
- remaining per-SIM locks now protect only HBA driver internals.

While holding LUN lock it is allowed (while not recommended for performance
reasons) to take SIM lock. The opposite acquisition order is forbidden.
All the other locks are leaf locks, that can be taken anywhere, but should
not be cascaded. Many functions, such as: xpt_action(), xpt_done(),
xpt_async(), xpt_create_path(), etc. are no longer require (but allow) SIM
lock to be held.

To keep compatibility and solve cases where SIM lock can't be dropped, all
xpt_async() calls in addition to xpt_done() calls are queued to completion
threads for async processing in clean environment without SIM lock held.

Instead of single CAM SWI thread, used for commands completion processing
before, use multiple (depending on number of CPUs) threads. Load balanced
between them using "hash" of the device B:T:L address.

HBA drivers that can drop SIM lock during completion processing and have
sufficient number of completion threads to efficiently scale to multiple
CPUs can use new function xpt_done_direct() to avoid extra context switch.
Make ahci(4) driver to use this mechanism depending on hardware setup.

trusted;
- on controllers supporting staggered spin-up (SS) put unused channels
into Listen state instead of Off. It should still save some power, but
allow plug-in events to be detected;

# 203108 28-Jan-2010 mav

MFp4: Large set of CAM inprovements.

- Unify bus reset/probe sequence. Whenever bus attached at boot or later,
CAM will automatically reset and scan it. It allows to remove duplicate
code from many drivers.
- Any bus, attached before CAM completed it's boot-time initialization,
will equally join to the process, delaying boot if needed.
- New kern.cam.boot_delay loader tunable should help controllers that
are still unable to register their buses in time (such as slow USB/
PCCard/ CardBus devices), by adding one more event to wait on boot.
- To allow synchronization between different CAM levels, concept of
requests priorities was extended. Priorities now split between several
"run levels". Device can be freezed at specified level, allowing higher
priority requests to pass. For example, no payload requests allowed,
until PMP driver enable port. ATA XPT negotiate transfer parameters,
periph driver configure caching and so on.
- Frozen requests are no more counted by request allocation scheduler.
It fixes deadlocks, when frozen low priority payload requests occupying
slots, required by higher levels to manage theit execution.
- Two last changes were holding proper ATA reinitialization and error
recovery implementation. Now it is done: SATA controllers and Port
Multipliers now implement automatic hot-plug and should correctly
recover from timeouts and bus resets.
- Improve SCSI error recovery for devices on buses without automatic sense
reporting, such as ATAPI or USB. For example, it allows CAM to wait, while
CD drive loads disk, instead of immediately return error status.
- Decapitalize diagnostic messages and make them more readable and sensible.
- Teach PMP driver to limit maximum speed on fan-out ports.
- Make boot wait for PMP scan completes, and make rescan more reliable.
- Fix pass driver, to return CCB to user level in case of error.
- Increase number of retries in cd driver, as device may return several UAs.

# 199322 16-Nov-2009 mav

Change the way in which AHCI+PATA combined controllers, such as JMicron

single device, wrapping each call, make one of them (atajmicron, atamarvell)
attach do device solely, but create child device for AHCI driver,
passing it all required resources. It is quite easy, as none of
resources are shared, except IRQ.

As result, it:
- makes drivers operation more independent and straitforward,
- allows to use new ahci(4) driver with such devices, adding support for
new features, such as PMP and NCQ, same time keeping legacy PATA support,
- will allow to just drop old ataahci driver, when it's time come.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.

Add a transport for SATA

Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA

Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.

Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.

The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.

ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.

This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.

Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.

The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.
