# 267654 19-Jun-2014 gjb

Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

# 229740 06-Jan-2012 dim

MFC r228817:

Use the correct types when calling the decompression mask function.

There's currently no public code which uses this feature and the
current reference driver doesn't enable this feature at all.
It's possible it was used by a previous version of the driver and
that indeed it should return HAL_STATUS; but at this point I'm
happy to require that they complain and submit a patch.

This was found by LLVM compile-time type checking.

# 225444 07-Sep-2011 adrian

Update the TSF and next-TBTT methods to work for the AR5416 and later NICs.
This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs.

* Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it.
This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU.

* Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they
likely now belong.

* Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF.
The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor;
the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor.
* Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment
functions in ath_extend_tsf().

* Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods.
ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary.

According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA
stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic
stability which need to be investigated.

The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping;
this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the
timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

# 224709 08-Aug-2011 adrian

Add another HAL method - ah_isFastClockEnabled - which returns AH_TRUE
if 5ghz fast clock is enabled in the current operating mode.

It's slightly dirty, but it's part of the reference HAL and used by
the (currently closed-source) radar event code to map radar pulses
back to microsecond durations.

# 224517 30-Jul-2011 adrian

Fix AR5416 radar parameter initialisation.

* I messed up the order of parameter true/false; oops!
* AR_PHY_RADAR_1 was being written at the wrong place, and was writing
potential garbage to the hardware.

Approved by: re (kib)


# 224244 21-Jul-2011 adrian

Modify the radar API a little to be easier to "change" via run-time
tools.

* introduce pe_enabled, which (will) indicate whether the radar
detection stuff is enabled or not. Right now it's incorrectly
set, based on something previously written. I'll sort it out
later.

* Don't set HAL_PHYERR_PARAM_ENABLE in pe_relstep to say whether
radar detection is on.

* Return whether blockradar, fir128 and enmaxrssi is enabled.

* Change some of the phyerr params to be integers rather than
HAL_BOOL so they can be set to the NOPARAM value when the
setup function is called. This is in line with other radar
parameters.

* Add new configuration parameters for fir128, blockradar and
enmaxrssi, rather than defaulting to off, on and on respectively.

Approved by: re (kib)


# 223459 23-Jun-2011 adrian

Break out most of the HAL related tweaks into a per-HAL instance,
rather than global variables.

This specifically allows for debugging to be enabled per-NIC, rather
than globally.

Since the ath driver doesn't know about AH_DEBUG, and to keep the ABI
consistent regardless of whether AH_DEBUG is enabled or not, enable the
debug parameter always but only conditionally compile in the debug
methods if needed.

The ALQ support is currently still global pending some brainstorming.

# 222815 07-Jun-2011 adrian

Flesh out a new HAL method to fetch the radar PHY error frame information.

For the AR5211/AR5212, this is apparently a one byte pulse duration
counter value. It is only coded up here for the AR5212 as I don't have
any AR5211-series hardware to test it on.

This information was extracted from the Madwifi DFS branch along with
some local additions.

Please note - all this does is extract out the radar event duration,
it in no way reflects the presence of a radar. Further code is needed
to take a set of radar events and filter them to extract out correct
radar pulse trains (and ignore other events.)

For further information, please see:

is going on.

# 222644 03-Jun-2011 adrian

Bring over the relevant registers to use when implementing the quiet time
portion of 802.11h.

The AR5212 code has been brought over as a reference, it's currently
untested.

# 222584 01-Jun-2011 adrian

Add some missing DFS chipset functionality to the FreeBSD HAL.

Please note - this doesn't in any way constitute a full DFS
implementation, it merely adds the relevant capability bits and
radar detection threshold register access.

The particulars:

* Add new capability bits outlining what the DFS capabilities
are of the various chipsets.
* Add HAL methods to set and get the radar related register values.
* Add AR5212 and AR5416+ DFS radar related register value
routines.
* Add a missing HAL phy error code that's related to radar event
processing.
* Add HAL_PHYERR_PARAM, a data type that encapsulates the radar
register values.

The AR5212 routines are just for completeness. The AR5416 routines
are a super-set of those; I may later on do a drive-by pass to
tidy up duplicate code.

# 221878 14-May-2011 adrian

When disabling RIFS for Sowl (AR9160) and Howl (AR9130), make sure RIFS
is totally disabled.

The Atheros HAL code does this for Sowl/Howl but not for Owl (AR5416) where
RIFS is disabled by default.

This seems to quieten the occasional baseband hang I've been seeing with
the AR9160 in STA mode under constant heavy traffic load.

Obtained from: Atheros


# 221603 07-May-2011 adrian

Do a HAL capabilities sync pass based on the Atheros HAL.

* Shuffle some of the capability numbers around to match the
Atheros HAL capability IDs, just for consistency.

* Add some new capabilities to FreeBSD from the Atheros
HAL which will be be shortly used when new chipsets are added
(HAL SGI-20 support is for Kiwi/AR9287 support); for
TX aggregation (MBSSID aggregate support, WDS aggregation
support); CST/GTT support for carrier sense/TX timeout.


# 221582 07-May-2011 adrian

Instead of returning an unknown mac/bb signature, just return 0.


# 221580 07-May-2011 adrian

Some BB hang changes:

* Add Howl (ar9130) to the list of chips that have DFS/BB/MAC hangs
* Don't treat unknown BB hangs as fatal; ath9k/Atheros HAL don't
treat it as such.
* Add HAL_DEBUG_DFS to the debug fields in ath_hal/ah_debug.h

The BB hang check simply loops over an observation register checking
for a stuck state engine, but it can happen under high traffic
conditions. Ath9k and the Atheros HAL simply log a debug message and
continue.

Private to FreeBSD:

* Add HAL_DEBUG_HANG to the debug fields
* Change the hang debugging to HAL_DEBUG_HANG rather than HAL_DEBUG_DFS
like in the Atheros HAL.

# 221535 06-May-2011 adrian

Add a function which enables or disables RX RIFS searching, and migrate
the code which does this into it.


# 221163 28-Apr-2011 adrian

Introduce AR9130 (HOWL) WMAC support to the FreeBSD HAL.

The AR9130 is an AR9160/AR5416 family WMAC which is glued directly
to the AR913x SoC peripheral bus (APB) rather than via a PCI/PCIe
bridge.

The specifics:

* A new build option is required to use the AR9130 - AH_SUPPORT_AR9130.
This is needed due to the different location the RTC registers live
with this chip; hopefully this will be undone in the future.
This does currently mean that enabling this option will break non-AR9130
builds, so don't enable it unless you're specifically building an image
for the AR913x SoC.

* Add the new probe, attach, EEPROM and PLL methods specific to Howl.

* Add a work-around to ah_eeprom_v14.c which disables some of the checks
for endian-ness and magic in the EEPROM image if an eepromdata block
is provided. This'll be fixed at a later stage by porting the ath9k
probe code and making sure it doesn't break in other setups (which
my previous attempt at this did.)

* Sprinkle Howl modifications throughput the interrupt path - it doesn't
implement the SYNC interrupt registers, so ignore those.

* Sprinkle Howl chip powerup/down throughout the reset path; the RTC methods
were

* Sprinkle some other Howl workarounds in the reset path.

* Hard-code an alternative setup for the AR_CFG register for Howl, that
sets up things suitable for Big-Endian MIPS (which is the only platform
this chip is glued to.)

This has been tested on the AR913x based TP-Link WR-1043nd mode, in
legacy, HT/20 and HT/40 modes.

Caveats:

* 2ghz has only been tested. I've not seen any 5ghz radios glued to this
chipset so I can't test it.

* AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION is not supported on the AR9130. At least,
it isn't implemented in ath9k. Please don't enable this.

* This hasn't been tested in MBSS mode or in RX/TX block-aggregation mode.


# 220772 18-Apr-2011 adrian

Add global TX timeout handling.

The global TX timeout counter increments whenever a frame is ready
to be transmitted and the medium is busy.


# 220718 16-Apr-2011 adrian

Disable classic-style fast diversity on the AR5416 and later.

Antenna diversity on the >= AR5416 is implemented differently than the
AR5212 and previous chips. So for now, and not to confuse things, just
disable it for now.


# 220323 04-Apr-2011 adrian

At least set the coverage class value here; worry about populating the
register values at a later date.


# 217634 20-Jan-2011 adrian

Only enable 11n modes if the chipset suports 11n.

Since the AR2427 doesn't allow 802.11n, it shouldn't have them
configured.

Replace most compile-time support options with linker sets for
chip and RF backend support:
o add OS_DATA_SET and OS_SET_DECLARE os requirements for setting
up linker sets
o add AH_CHIP macro for registering chip support (e.g. 5210)
o add AH_RF macro for registering RF support (e.g. 2413); note
this isn't required for single chip solutions where there's no
ambiguity (e.g. 5416/9160+2133) but for 5212 class parts it's
required because of the multi-chip solutions
o remove all uses of AH_SUPPORT_AR5210, AH_SUPPORT_AR5211, AH_SUPPORT_5212,
and AH_SUPPORT_AR9160; still need AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 to enable the 11n
descriptor formats and 5312 support is presently broken
o remove all uses of AH_SUPPORT_2133, AH_SUPPORT_2413, AH_SUPPORT_5111,
AH_SUPPORT_5112, AH_SUPPORT_2417, AH_SUPPORT_2425, and AH_SUPPORT_5413;
5312-related support still requires fixup

Remaining issues:
o fixup SoC attach
o ath_hal_attach uses a hack to probe w/o access to the vendorid
o fallback handling of parts w/o a macrev needs to be restored


# 185380 27-Nov-2008 sam

Update to later code from my repository:
o many bug fixes
o add new periodic calibration api
o break up 5416 periodic calibration code in preparation for 928x
o move get noise floor to rf backends
o 5416-specific ani (still disabled)
o modularize 5210 eeprom format a la other eeprom formats
o start cleaning up regdomain code
o prepare for proper 1/2 and 1/4 width channel support
o bring back 900MHz card support
o clean up 5212 rf version handling
o add 1/2 and 1/4 width channel support for 5212 parts
o split 5212 rfgain handling out
o improve ani debugging
o add AH_USE_INIPDGAIN compile option
o purge a bunch of dead 5212 state
o add 1/2 and 1/4 rate modes
o remove HAL_CAP_CHAN_HALFRATE and HAL_CAP_CHAN_QUARTERRATE; the
same info can now be deduced from the set of supported modes
