Create wrapper for Giant taken for newbus

Create a wrapper for newbus to take giant and for busses to take it too.
bus_topo_lock() should be called before interacting with newbus routines
and unlocked with bus_topo_unlock(). If you need the topology lock for
some reason, bus_topo_mtx() will provide that.

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.

# 0fca6f8b 17-Sep-2012 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

Add locking to mlx(4) to make it MPSAFE along with some other fixes:
- Use callout(9) rather than timeout(9).
- Add a mutex as an I/O lock that protects the adapter and is used
for the I/O path.
- Add an sx lock as a configuration lock that protects the relationship
of configured volumes.
- Freeze the request queue when a DMA load is deferred with EINPROGRESS
and unfreeze the queue when the DMA callback is invoked.
- Explicitly poll the hardware while waiting to submit a command to
allow completed commands to free up slots in the command ring.
- Remove driver-wide 'initted' variable from mlx_*_fw_handshake() routines.
That state should be per-controller instead. Add it as an argument
since the first caller knows when it is the first caller.
- Remove explicit bus_space tag/handle and use bus_*() rather than
bus_space_*().
- Move duplicated PCI device ID probing into a mlx_pci_match() routine.
- Don't check for PCIM_CMD_MEMEN (the PCI bus will enable that when
allocating the resource) and use pci_enable_busmaster() rather than
manipulating the register directly.

# a56fe095 20-Aug-2009 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

# 444b9186 02-Aug-2009 Attilio Rao <attilio@FreeBSD.org>

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.

# 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.

Replace all calls to minor() with dev2unit().

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.

This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

# f6b1c44d 01-Jul-2003 Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>

Mega busdma API commit.

Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.

sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.

If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

Update to the latest development version of the Mylex driver. Changes in

- Support for version 2.x firmware (2.42 or later recommended). This
means we are the only open-source driver supporting these adapters.
This code has only been tested on a Digital KZPCA adapter in an Alpha
system, but is believed to be correct. NOTE: EISA adapters are not
yet supported.

- Support the BIOS/Firmware initialisation handshake protocol. This
allows the driver to bring the card up to operational state even if
the BIOS can't be run (eg. if it's an x86 BIOS in an Alpha system).

- A working command pasthrough interface. This allows a user-space
configuration tool (under development) to issue arbitrary commands

Major update to the Mylex DAC960 driver adding new hardware support
and fixing some major bugs.

- Add support for the v5 firmware interface, used by the DAC1164P
(tested) and AcceleRAID 352 (untested but should work). We now cover
all of the Mylex family's protocols except for v2 (used by EISA and
Alpha-compatible cards).

- Fix an accounting bug which resulted in endless 'poll still busy'
messages. In situations of high controller load the count of poll
commands could be incremented without actually successfully launching
a command. This totally removes the accounting for status poll
commnads; it was its own worst enemy.

- Add some simple reentry prevention locks to processing of the waiting
and completed command queues to prevent races which could result in
I/O being done or completed twice (both are fatal). This highlights
a need for simple locking primitives in both the UP and SMP kernels.

- Streamline the handling of command completion to reduce the amount of
redundant work being done. Remove the code which tests for commands
that have gone missing in action; nobody has ever seen one of these
and it wouldn't have worked properly anyhow.

- Handle disconnection of drives from the controller in the detach,
not shutdown method. This avoids problems flushing the cache in
a panic when a drive is mounted.

- Don't call bus_generic_detach when disconnecting drives; it doesn't
actually do anything useful.

- Increment the log message index regardless of whether we actually
retrieved one or not. If we run into a message that we can't fetch,
we don't want to spin endlessly complaining about the fact.

- Don't assume that interrupts will work when we're flushing the
controller. We may think they are enabled, but in eg. a panic
situation the controller may not be able to deliver an interrupt.


# fe0d4089 03-Dec-1999 Matthew N. Dodd <mdodd@FreeBSD.org>

Remove the 'ivars' arguement to device_add_child() and
device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.

This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.

Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
the rest of the local changes in my tree.

# 97adfbaf 01-Nov-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Correctly compute the block count. In reality, it seems that the
controller will never return the command if it's not exactly a multiple
of a block in size.

Cosmetic formatting for RAID level output.


# 4b006d7b 26-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Move some hardware-related items to the hardware-related header.

Shift to using the same queueing strategy that the amr driver uses.
Some simple tests indicate that we use about 2% of the CPU at around
500tps with the controller completely saturated with I/O.


# cd4ace0c 22-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Use the physical block number, not the logical block number, for I/O
operations. The latter only works where the partion begins at the bottom
of the disk. Whoops.

# 33c8cb18 15-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Use a much larger buffer for message log retrieval until we are sure that
32 bytes is safe.

Handle successful completion of message log retrieval commands.

With these changes, the driver correctly handles the consequences of drive
death and replacement in a reliable array. Note that the massive backlog
of I/O during handling of such an event can kill the system if softupdates
is enabled.


# 466454bd 15-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Fix mlx_diagnose_command so that it actually works. I can't believe this
has been broken since implemented.


# f01f2af6 15-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Save the drive device_t correctly so we can print it later.

The drive number is 5 bits, not 4, in the read/write command.


# f6b84b08 13-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

Add support for the version 4 firmware interface and the DAC960 PG and
PJ cards. This will probably also support the AcceleRAID and
eXtremeRAID cards, but nobody has volunteered one for testing, so I
haven't enabled their PCI device IDs.

Slightly clean up communication between the disk devices and the
controller device as per new practice, and move some more register-
related items int mlxreg.h from mlxvar.h.

Remove some unnecessary read-modify-write operations to the card
control registers; they don't behave like that.

Increase the status polling interval to 10 seconds. It's still possible
to load the card up to the point where a status poll will find the
previous poll still running, but this will reduce the incidence of
complaints.


# 1ac4b82b 06-Oct-1999 Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.org>

This is a driver for the Mylex DAC960 family of integrated RAID
controllers. It currently supports the P, PL, PD and PU variants,
with more to be supported shortly.
