# 249341 10-Apr-2013 mav

MFC r249062:
Since ATA_CAM mode has no implemented support for serializing access to the
different ATA channels, required for acard and pc98 ATA controllers, block
access to second channels of both, hoping that one working channel is better
then none. I have an idea how that support could be implemented, but I have
no hardware to work on that.


# 242908 12-Nov-2012 dim

MFC r242625:

Remove duplicate const specifiers in many drivers (I hope I got all of
them, please let me know if not). Most of these are of the form:

static const struct bzzt_type {
[...list of members...]
} const bzzt_devs[] = {
[...list of initializers...]
};

The second const is unnecessary, as arrays cannot be modified anyway,
and if the elements are const, the whole thing is const automatically
(e.g. it is placed in .rodata).

I have verified this does not change the binary output of a full kernel
build (except for build timestamps embedded in the object files).

- First pass at const'ifying ata(4) as appropriate.
- Use DEVMETHOD_END.
- Use NULL instead of 0 for pointers.


# 233715 30-Mar-2012 marius

MFC: r233274

Remove remnants of ATA_LOCKING uses in the ATA_CAM case and wrap it
along with functions, SYSCTLs and tunables that are not used with
ATA_CAM in #ifndef ATA_CAM, similar to the existing #ifdef'ed ATA_CAM
code for the other way around. This makes it easier to understand
which parts of ata(4) actually are used in the new world order and
to later on remove the !ATA_CAM bits. It also makes it obvious that
there is something fishy with the C-bus front-end as well as in the
ATP850 support, as these used ATA_LOCKING which is defunct in the
ATA_CAM case. When fixing the former, ATA_LOCKING probably needs to
be brought back in some form or other.

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

# 224270 22-Jul-2011 mav

- Use mutex to serialize index/data register pair usage, when
accessing SATA registers. Unserialized access under heavy load caused
wrong speed reporting and potentially could cause device loss.
- To free memory and other resources (including above), allocated
during chipinit() method call on attach, add new chipdeinit() method,
called during driver detach.

# 200171 05-Dec-2009 mav

MFp4:
Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.

As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.

Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial
and is not really required by PCI ATA BM specification or hardware.

# 194893 24-Jun-2009 mav

MFp4:
Reduce default PCI ATA drivers priorities from absolute to default,
to allow them been overriden. It was so before modularization.


# 192105 14-May-2009 jhb

- Add a void pointer to the ata-pci controller softc to allow
chipset-specific code to attach chipset-specific data.
- Use chipset-specific data in the acard and promise chipsets rather than
changing the ivars of ATA PCI devices. ivars are reserved for use by the
parent bus driver and are _not_ available for use by devices directly.
This fixes a panic during sysctl -a with certain Promise controllers with
ACPI enabled.

# 188769 18-Feb-2009 mav

Quite mechanical ch_detach implementations for all atapci subdrivers.
Some dmainit call fixes for previous commit.


# 188765 18-Feb-2009 mav

As soon as they called in only same one place (ata_pcichannel_attach()),
join allocate() and dmainit() atapci subdriver's channel initialization
methods into single ch_attach() method.

As opposite to ch_attach() add new ch_detach() method to deallocate/disable
channel.


# 183724 09-Oct-2008 sos

This is the roumored ATA modulerisation works, and it needs a little explanation.

If you just config KERNEL as usual there should be no apparent changes, you'll get all chipset support code compiled in.

However there is now a way to only compile in code for chipsets needed on a pr vendor basis. ATA now has the following "device" entries:

atacore: ATA core functionality, always needed for any ATA setup

atacard: CARDBUS support
atacbus: PC98 cbus support
ataisa: ISA bus support
atapci: PCI bus support only generic chipset support.

ataahci: AHCI support, also pulled in by some vendor modules.

ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek, atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron, atamarvell, atamicron, atanational, atanetcell, atanvidia, atapromise, ataserverworks, atasiliconimage, atasis, atavia; Vendor support, ie atavia for VIA chipsets

atadisk: ATA disk driver
ataraid: ATA softraid driver

atapicd: ATAPI cd/dvd driver
atapifd: ATAPI floppy/flashdisk driver
atapist: ATAPI tape driver

atausb: ATA<>USB bridge
atapicam: ATA<>CAM bridge

This makes it possible to config a kernel with just VIA chipset support by having the following ATA lines in the kernel config file:

device atacore
device atapci
device atavia

And then you need the atadisk, atapicd etc lines in there just as usual.

If you use ATA as modules loaded at boot there is few changes except the rename of the "ata" module to "atacore", things looks just as usual.
However under atapci you now have a whole bunch of vendor specific drivers, that you can kldload individually depending on you needs. Drivers have the same names as used in the kernel config explained above.
