MFC r358689 (by jhibbits):
Fix a mistaken conditional in mfi_tbolt_send_frame()
As written, the condition of (cdb[0] != 0x28 || cdb[0] != 0x2A) will always
be true, since if it's one, it's obviously not the other. Reading the code,
the intent appears to be that it should only perform the operation if it's
neither, otherwise the conditional can be elided.

CALLOUT_MPSAFE has lost its meaning since r141428, i.e., for more than ten
years for head. However, it is continuously misused as the mpsafe argument
for callout_init(9). Deprecate the flag and clean up callout_init() calls
to make them more consistent.

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Change the cap_rights_t type from uint64_t to a structure that we can extend
in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

Update PCI drivers to no longer look at the MEMIO-enabled bit in the PCI
command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes
disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable
it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer
a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This
results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives
the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set
the busmaster enable bit.
This changes fixes some recent reports of disk controllers and their
associated drives/enclosures disappearing during boot.

Fixes queuing issues where mfi_release_command blindly sets the cm_flags = 0
without first removing the command from the relavent queue.
This was causing panics in the queue functions which check to ensure a command
is not on another queue.
Fixed some cases where the error from mfi_mapcmd was lost and where the command
was never released / dequeued in error cases.
Ensure that all failures to mfi_mapcmd are logged.
Fixed possible null pointer exception in mfi_aen_setup if mfi_get_log_state
failed.
Fixed mfi_parse_entries & mfi_aen_setup not returning possible errors.
Corrected MFI_DUMP_CMDS calls with invalid vars SC vs sc.
Commands which have timed out now set cm_error to ETIMEDOUT and call
mfi_complete which prevents them getting stuck in the busy queue forever.
Fixed possible use of NULL pointer in mfi_tbolt_get_cmd.
Changed output formats to be more easily recognisable when debugging.
Optimised mfi_cmd_pool_tbolt cleanup.
Made information about driver limiting commands always display as for modern
cards this can be severe.
Fixed mfi_tbolt_alloc_cmd out of memory case which previously didnt return an
error.
Added malloc checks for request_desc_pool including free when subsiquent errors
are detected.
Fixed overflow error in SIMD reply descriptor check.
Fixed tbolt_cmd leak in mfi_build_and_issue_cmd if there's an error during IO
build.
Elimintated double checks on sc->mfi_aen_cm & sc->mfi_map_sync_cm in
mfi_shutdown.
Move local hdr calculation after error check in mfi_aen_complete.
Fixed wakeup on NULL in mfi_aen_complete.
Fixed mfi_aen_cm cleanup in mfi_process_fw_state_chg_isr not checking if it was
NULL.
Changed mfi_alloc_commands to error if bus_dmamap_create fails. Previously we
would try to continue with the number of allocated commands but lots of places
in the driver assume sc->mfi_max_fw_cmds is whats available so its unsafe to do
this without lots of changes.
Removed mfi_total_cmds as its no longer used due the above change.
Corrected mfi_tbolt_alloc_cmd to return ENOMEM where appropriate.
Fixed timeouts actually firing at double what they should.
Setting hw.mfi.max_cmds=-1 now configures to use the controller max.
A few style (9) fixes e.g. braced single line conditions and double blank lines
Cleaned up queuing macros
Removed invalid queuing tests for multiple queues
Trap and deal with errors when doing sends in mfi_data_cb
Refactored frame sending into one method with error checking of the return
code so we can ensure commands aren't left on the queue after error. This
ensures that mfi_mapcmd & mfi_data_cb leave the queue in a valid state.
Refactored how commands are cleaned up, mfi_release_command now ensures
that all queues and command state is maintained in a consistent state.
Prevent NULL pointer use in mfi_tbolt_complete_cmd
Fixed use of NULL sc->mfi_map_sync_cm in wakeup
Added defines to help with output of mfi_cmd and header flags.
Fixed mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue invalidating cm_index of the acquired mfi_cmd.
Reset now reinitialises sync map as well as AEN.
Fixed possible use of NULL pointer in mfi_build_and_issue_cmd
Fixed mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue call to mfi_process_fw_state_chg_isr causing
panic on failure.
Ensure that tbolt cards always initialise next_host_reply_index and
free_host_reply_index (based off mfi_max_fw_cmds) on both startup and
reset as per the linux driver.
Fixed mfi_tbolt_complete_cmd not acknowledging unknown commands so
it didn't clear the controller.
Prevent locks from being dropped and re-acquired in the following functions
which was allowing multiple threads to enter critical methods such as
mfi_tbolt_complete_cmd & mfi_process_fw_state_chg_isr:-
* mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue
* mfi_aen_complete / mfi_aen_register
* mfi_tbolt_sync_map_info
* mfi_get_log_state
* mfi_parse_entries
The locking for these functions was promoting to higher level methods. This
also fixed MFI_LINUX_SET_AEN_2 which was already acquiring the lock, so would
have paniced for recursive lock.
This also required changing malloc of ld_sync in mfi_tbolt_sync_map_info to
M_NOWAIT which can hence now fail but this was already expected as its return
was being tested.
Removed the assignment of cm_index in mfi_tbolt_init_MFI_queue which breaks
the world if the cmd returned by mfi_dequeue_free isn't the first cmd.
Fixed locking in mfi_data_cb, this is an async callback from bus_dmamap_load
which could hence be called after the caller has dropped the lock. If we
don't have the lock we aquire it and ensure we unlock before returning.
Fixed locking mfi_comms_init when mfi_dequeue_free fails.
Fixed mfi_build_and_issue_cmd not returning tbolt cmds aquired to the pool
on error.
Fixed mfi_abort not dropping the io lock when mfi_dequeue_free fails.
Added hw.mfi.polled_cmd_timeout sysctl that enables tuning of polled
timeouts. This shouldn't be reduced below 50 seconds as its used for
firmware patching which can take quite some time.
Added hw.mfi.fw_reset_test sysctl which is avaliable when compiled with
MFI_DEBUG and allows the testing of controller reset that was provoking a
large number of the issues encountered here.

Reform the busdma API so that new types may be added without modifying
every architecture's busdma_machdep.c. It is done by unifying the
bus_dmamap_load_buffer() routines so that they may be called from MI
code. The MD busdma is then given a chance to do any final processing
in the complete() callback.
The cam changes unify the bus_dmamap_load* handling in cam drivers.
The arm and mips implementations are updated to track virtual
addresses for sync(). Previously this was done in a type specific
way. Now it is done in a generic way by recording the list of
virtuals in the map.

Fix panics triggered by older mfiutil binaries run on the new mfi(4) driver.
The new driver changed the size of the mfi_dcmd_frame structure in such a
way that a MFI_IOC_PASSTHRU ioctl from an old amd64 binary is treated as an
MFI_IOC_PASSTHRU32 ioctl in the new driver. As a result, the user pointer
is treated as the buffer length. mfi_user_command() doesn't have a bounds
check on the buffer length, so it passes a really big value to malloc()
which panics when it tries to exhaust the kmem_map. Fix this two ways:
- Only honor MFI_IOC_PASSTHRU32 if the binary has the SV_ILP32 flag set,
otherwise treat it as an unknown ioctl.
- Add a bounds check on the buffer length passed by the user. For now
it fails any user attempts to use a buffer larger than 1MB.
While here, fix a few other nits:
- Remove an unnecessary check for a NULL return from malloc(M_WAITOK).
- Use the ENOTTY errno for invalid ioctl commands instead of ENOENT.

First fix pr 167226:
ThunderBolt cannot read sector >= 2^32 or 2^21
with supplied patch.
Second the bigger change, fix RAID operation on ThunderBolt base
card such as physically removing a disk from a RAID and replacing
it. The current situation is the RAID firmware effectively hangs
waiting for an acknowledgement from the driver. This is due to
the firmware support of the driver actually accessing the RAID
from under the firmware. This is an interesting feature that
the FreeBSD driver does not use. However, when the firmare
detects the driver has attached it then expects the driver will
synchronize LD's with the firmware. If the driver does not sync.
then the management part of the firmware will hang waiting for
it so a pulled driver will listed as still there.
The fix for this problem isn't extremely difficult. However,
figuring out why some of the code was the way it was and then
redoing it was involved. Not have a spec. made it harder to
try to figure out. The existing driver would send a
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO command in write mode to acknowledge
a LD state change. In read mode it gets the RAID map from the
firmware. The FreeBSD driver doesn't do that currently. It
could be added in the future with the appropriate structures.
To simplify things, get the current LD state and then build
the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command so that it sends
an acknowledgement for each LD. The map would probably state
which LD's changed so then the driver could probably just
acknowledge the LD's that changed versus all. This doesn't seem
to be a problem. When a MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command
is sent to the firmware, it will complete later when a change
to the LD's happen. So it is very much like an AEN command
returning when something happened. When the
MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command completes, we refire the
sync'ing of the LD state. This needs to be done in as an event
so that MFI_DCMD_LD_GET_LIST can wait for that command to
complete before issuing the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write.
The prior code didn't use the call-back function and tried
to intercept the MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/write command when
processing an interrupt. This added a bunch of code complexity
to the interrupt handler. Using the call-back that is done
for other commands got rid of this need. So the interrupt
handler is greatly simplified. It seems that even commands
that shouldn't be acknowledged end up in the interrupt handler.
To deal with this, code was added to check to see if a command
is in the busy queue or not. This might have contributed to the
interrupt storm happening without MSI enabled on these cards.
Note that MFI_DCMD_LD_MAP_GET_INFO/read returns right away.
It would be interesting to see what other complexity could
be removed from the ThunderBolt driver that really isn't
needed in our mode of operation. Letting the RAID firmware
do all of the I/O to disks is a lot faster since it can
use its caches. It greatly simplifies what the driver has
to do and potential bugs if the driver and firmware are
not in sync.
Simplify the aen_abort/cm_map_abort and put it in the softc
versus in the command structure.
This should get merged to 9 before the driver is merged to
8.

Second-to-last commit implementing Capsicum capabilities in the FreeBSD
kernel for FreeBSD 9.0:
Add a new capability mask argument to fget(9) and friends, allowing system
call code to declare what capabilities are required when an integer file
descriptor is converted into an in-kernel struct file *. With options
CAPABILITIES compiled into the kernel, this enforces capability
protection; without, this change is effectively a no-op.
Some cases require special handling, such as mmap(2), which must preserve
information about the maximum rights at the time of mapping in the memory
map so that they can later be enforced in mprotect(2) -- this is done by
narrowing the rights in the existing max_protection field used for similar
purposes with file permissions.
In namei(9), we assert that the code is not reached from within capability
mode, as we're not yet ready to enforce namespace capabilities there.
This will follow in a later commit.
Update two capability names: CAP_EVENT and CAP_KEVENT become
CAP_POST_KEVENT and CAP_POLL_KEVENT to more accurately indicate what they
represent.

Make the newbus subsystem Giant free by adding the new newbus sxlock.
The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.

Separate the parallel scsi knowledge out of the core of the XPT, and
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.

Add a driver for the new LSI MegaRAID SAS controller family. The 'MFI' name
is derived from the phrase 'MegaRAID Firmware Interface' used by LSI. This
driver provides a block interface to logical disks on the card and a minimal
management device. It is MPSAFE, INTR_FAST, and 64-bit capable.
Thanks to Dell for providing hardware to test with and IronPort for
sponsoring the work.
