# 297777 10-Apr-2016 jhb

Add a 'show t4 tcb <nexus> <tid>' command to dump a TCB from DDB.

This allows the contents of a TCB to be extracted from a T4/T5 card in
DDB after a panic.

# 278913 17-Feb-2015 glebius

Globally enable -fms-extensions when building kernel with gcc, and remove
this option from all modules that enable it theirselves.
In C mode -fms-extensions option enables anonymous structs and unions,
allowing us to use this C11 feature in kernel. Of course, clang supports
it without any extra options.

only when gcc is being used. This is what r277225 should have been.

cxgbe(4): major tx rework.

a) Front load as much work as possible in if_transmit, before any driver
lock or software queue has to get involved.

b) Replace buf_ring with a brand new mp_ring (multiproducer ring). This
is specifically for the tx multiqueue model where one of the if_transmit
producer threads becomes the consumer and other producers carry on as
usual. mp_ring is implemented as standalone code and it should be
possible to use it in any driver with tx multiqueue. It also has:
- the ability to enqueue/dequeue multiple items. This might become
significant if packet batching is ever implemented.
- an abdication mechanism to allow a thread to give up writing tx
descriptors and have another if_transmit thread take over. A thread
that's writing tx descriptors can end up doing so for an unbounded
time period if a) there are other if_transmit threads continuously
feeding the sofware queue, and b) the chip keeps up with whatever the
thread is throwing at it.
- accurate statistics about interesting events even when the stats come
at the expense of additional branches/conditional code.

The NIC txq lock is uncontested on the fast path at this point. I've
left it there for synchronization with the control events (interface
up/down, modload/unload).

c) Add support for "type 1" coalescing work request in the normal NIC tx
path. This work request is optimized for frames with a single item in
the DMA gather list. These are very common when forwarding packets.
Note that netmap tx in cxgbe already uses these "type 1" work requests.

d) Do not request automatic cidx updates every 32 descriptors. Instead,
request updates via bits in individual work requests (still every 32
descriptors approximately). Also, request an automatic final update
when the queue idles after activity. This means NIC tx reclaim is still
performed lazily but it will catch up quickly as soon as the queue
idles. This seems to be the best middle ground and I'll probably do
something similar for netmap tx as well.

e) Implement a faster tx path for WRQs (used by TOE tx and control
queues, _not_ by the normal NIC tx). Allow work requests to be written
directly to the hardware descriptor ring if room is available. I will
convert t4_tom and iw_cxgbe modules to this faster style gradually.

cxgbe(4): netmap support for Terminator 5 (T5) based 10G/40G cards.
Netmap gets its own hardware-assisted virtual interface and won't take
over or disrupt the "normal" interface in any way. You can use both
simultaneously.

For kernels with DEV_NETMAP, cxgbe(4) carves out an ncxl<N> interface
(note the 'n' prefix) in the hardware to accompany each cxl<N>
interface. These two ifnet's per port share the same wire but really
are separate interfaces in the hardware and software. Each gets its own
L2 MAC addresses (unicast and multicast), MTU, checksum caps, etc. You
should run netmap on the 'n' interfaces only, that's what they are for.

With this, pkt-gen is able to transmit > 45Mpps out of a single 40G port
of a T580 card. 2 port tx is at ~56Mpps total (28M + 28M) as of now.
Single port receive is at 33Mpps but this is very much a work in
progress. I expect it to be closer to 40Mpps once done. In any case
the current effort can already saturate multiple 10G ports of a T5 card
at the smallest legal packet size. T4 gear is totally untested.

# 253691 26-Jul-2013 np

Add support for packet-sniffing tracers to cxgbe(4). This works with
all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.

Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.

There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.

/* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 tx0 (watch what cxl0 is transmitting)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 rx0 (watch what cxl0 is receiving)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# tcpdump -i t5nex0 <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire

If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K
"frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that
were actually transmitted.

# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 disable
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 disable
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# ifconfig t5nex0 destroy

L2 table code. This is enough to get the T4's switch + L2 rewrite
filters working. (All other filters - switch without L2 info rewrite,
steer, and drop - were already fully-functional).

Some contrived examples of "switch" filters with L2 rewriting:

# cxgbetool t4nex0 iport 0 dport 80 action switch vlan +9 eport 3
Intercept all packets received on physical port 0 with TCP port 80 as
destination, insert a vlan tag with VID 9, and send them out of port 3.

# cxgbetool t4nex0 sip 192.168.1.1/32 ivlan 5 action switch \
vlan =9 smac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff eport 0
Intercept all packets (received on any port) with source IP address
192.168.1.1 and VLAN id 5, rewrite the VLAN id to 9, rewrite source mac
to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, and send it out of port 0.

T4 packet timestamps.

Reference code that shows how to get a packet's timestamp out of
cxgbe(4). Disabled by default because we don't have a standard way
today to pass this information up the stack.

The timestamp is 60 bits wide and each increment represents 1 tick of
the T4's core clock. As an example, the timestamp granularity is ~4.4ns
for this card:

# sysctl dev.t4nex.0.core_clock
dev.t4nex.0.core_clock: 228125
