sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Add support for MegaRAID Fury cards. The main change needed to boot from a
9341-4i controller was to ensure that scatter/gather lists are ended with
an end-of-list marker. Both the mrsas and Linux megaraid_sas drivers use
this marker with Invader cards as well, so we do the same thing, though
it is apparently not strictly necessary.

# 96f9425f 04-Feb-2014 Doug Ambrisko <ambrisko@FreeBSD.org>

Add a tunable "hw.mfi.mrsas_enable" to allow mfi(4) to drop priority and
allow mrsas(4) from LSI to attach to newer LSI cards that are support by
mrsas(4). If mrsas(4) is not loaded into the system at boot then mfi(4)
will always attach. If a modified mrsas(4) is loaded in the system. That
modification is return "-30" in it's probe since that is between
BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT and BUS_PROBE_LOW_PRIORITY.

This option is controller by a new probe flag "MFI_FLAGS_MRSAS" in mfi_ident
that denotes cards that should work with mrsas(4). New entries that should
have this option.

This is the first step to get mrsas(4) checked into FreeBSD and to avoid
collision with people that use mrsas(4) from LSI. Since mfi(4) takes
priority, then mrsas(4) users need to rebuild GENERIC. Using the
.disabled="1" method doesn't work since that blocks attaching and the
probe gave it to mfi(4).

# 08c89430 26-Feb-2013 Steven Hartland <smh@FreeBSD.org>

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.

# dd0b4fb6 12-Feb-2013 Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org>

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.

we only have one implementation in mfi.
- Fix dumping on Thunderbolt cards. Polled IO commands do not seem to
be normally acknowledged by changing cmd_status to MFI_STAT_OK.
In order to get acknowledgement of the IO is complete, the Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt wrapper and indicate the result. This flag needs to be
set in the JBOD case in case if that us using Thunderbolt card.

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.

# 89f7d036 12-Mar-2012 Doug Ambrisko <ambrisko@FreeBSD.org>

Several style type changes.

Main functional change is not to run events from the prior boot or
when the driver is shutting down. Tested added and removing JBOD
drives. The driver adds and remove drives. A sysctl
hw.mfi.detect_jbod_change enables or disables this. it is set by
default to enable this. On boot only act on events from this
boot. This avoids stale disk events stating disks have gone
and come back from. This happens when the kernel doesn't shutdown
the card (ie. power cycle).

Switch hw.mfi.msi to 1 by default. It works better on the cards
I've tried.

First cut at updating mfi(4) to support newer LSI MegaRAID SAS cards.
Specifically, add support for "Drake Skinny" and "ThunderBolt" LSI
cards.

Initial code was supplied by LSI under BSD license. Several improvements
were done by myself. Such things like making it work in a static kernel,
be able to boot of the RAID, performance improvements. I removed some
fairly complicated code that seemed to directly access the disks under
the firmware. It doesn't seem to be needed and significantly slowed
down the performance of the driver and caused tons of sense errors to
be reported.

This code is being checked in this area so others can help me get it into
shape to commit into the FreeBSD tree. Assistance has been volunteered
by iXsystems.

We might want to re-work the JBOD attachment that creates /dev/mfisyspd?
node for each disk.

Performance is faster then prior cards. It works okay with WITNESS
and INVARIANTS on amd64 and i386. I recall seeing a use after
free time bug with FreeBSD 8 and a Drake Skinny card with WITNESS
and INVARIANTS on.

First task is get all of the new structures to be named in FreeBSD
style format.

Next is probably to deal with the 64bit addressing changes that are
mostly around the #ifdef __amd64__ checks.

Thanks to LSI for providing the initial code.

# 52c9ce25 10-Jul-2009 Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>

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 in a couple of things:
- In the ioctl path let command get queued up and return
when complete _without_ blocking the driving waiting for
the response. This way the driver doesn't "lock up" for
~30s during a flash command. Submitted by scottl.
- Add a guard so that if a DCMD of 0 is sent down the ioctl
path don't send it to the controller. Return with a
status of OK. This is a little strange since MegaCli
doesn't seem to like something and will issue some DCMD
of 0. This doesn't happen under Linux. So the emulation
needs to be improved but I'm not sure what. Another strange
thing is that when a DCMD of 0 gets issued under i386 the
controller returns OK but in amd64 the context is messed
up.
- Add a guard so the context has to be with-in the legal
limit so we get a reasonable error assertion versus random
panic.

It's going to be a challenge to figure out why MegaCli is not totally
happy and then sends some bogus commands. This means that flashing
firmware via the Linux tool won't work since it generates a DCMD of
0 when it should be opening the firmware for a flash update. Without
this problem flashing works fine. This means there is no publicly
available tool to upgrade the RAID firmware under FreeBSD right now.

StoreLib may or may not work. Remember to kldload mfi_linux.
- Add in AEN (Async Event Notification) support so we can
get messages from the firmware when something happens.
Not all messages are in defined in event detail. Use
event_log to try to figure out what happened.
- Try to implement something like SIGIO for StoreLib. Since
mrmonitor doesn't work right I can't fully test it. StoreLib
works best with the rh9 base. In theory mrmonitor isn't
needed due to native driver support of AEN :-)
Now we can configure and monitor the RAID better.

# 2e21a3ef 24-Mar-2006 Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>

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.
