"options FOO=xxx"). options that take a value were converted to
defparam recently.
- minor whitespace & formatting cleanups
as config(8) will warn for value-less defparam options
- minor whitespace/formatting cleanup
- consolidate opt_tcp_recvspace.h and opt_tcp_sendspace.h into opt_tcp_space.h
- replace opt_kgdb_machdep.h with opt_kgdb.h
- defparam opt_kgdb.h:
KGDB_DEV KGDB_DEVNAME KGDB_DEVADDR KGDB_DEVRATE KGDB_DEVMODE
- move from opt_ddbparam.h to opt_ddb.h:
DDB_FROMCONSOLE DDB_ONPANIC DDB_HISTORY_SIZE DDB_BREAK_CHAR SYMTAB_SPACE
- replace KGDBDEV with KGDB_DEV
- replace KGDBADDR with KGDB_DEVADDR
- replace KGDBMODE with KGDB_DEVMODE
- replace KGDBRATE with KGDB_DEVRATE
- use `9600' instead of `0x2580' for 9600 baud rate
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEVNAME="\"com\""
- use correct quotes for options KGDB_DEV="17*256+0"

8 port chip. this is used in several sbus (sparc) serial boards, as
well as an 8 port isa card from riscom. sio16 (sbus) frontend coming
shortly.
this is heavily based on the com and zs drivers.
if_ieee80211subr.c, which can be shared between any IEEE 802.11
drivers.
However, most of current working IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN cards
have rich firmware and we cannot have a control to management frames
for such cards.
IBSS creation is now supported for the awi driver.
- remove special treatment of pager_map mappings in pmaps. this is
required now, since I've removed the globals that expose the address range.
pager_map now uses pmap_kenter_pa() instead of pmap_enter(), so there's
no longer any need to special-case it.
- eliminate struct uvm_vnode by moving its fields into struct vnode.
- rewrite the pageout path. the pager is now responsible for handling the
high-level requests instead of only getting control after a bunch of work
has already been done on its behalf. this will allow us to UBCify LFS,
which needs tighter control over its pages than other filesystems do.
writing a page to disk no longer requires making it read-only, which
allows us to write wired pages without causing all kinds of havoc.
- use a new PG_PAGEOUT flag to indicate that a page should be freed
on behalf of the pagedaemon when it's unlocked. this flag is very similar
to PG_RELEASED, but unlike PG_RELEASED, PG_PAGEOUT can be cleared if the
pageout fails due to eg. an indirect-block buffer being locked.
this allows us to remove the "version" field from struct vm_page,
and together with shrinking "loan_count" from 32 bits to 16,
struct vm_page is now 4 bytes smaller.
- no longer use PG_RELEASED for swap-backed pages. if the page is busy
because it's being paged out, we can't release the swap slot to be
reallocated until that write is complete, but unlike with vnodes we
don't keep a count of in-progress writes so there's no good way to
know when the write is done. instead, when we need to free a busy
swap-backed page, just sleep until we can get it busy ourselves.
- implement a fast-path for extending writes which allows us to avoid
zeroing new pages. this substantially reduces cpu usage.
- encapsulate the data used by the genfs code in a struct genfs_node,
which must be the first element of the filesystem-specific vnode data
for filesystems which use genfs_{get,put}pages().
- eliminate many of the UVM pagerops, since they aren't needed anymore
now that the pager "put" operation is a higher-level operation.
- enhance the genfs code to allow NFS to use the genfs_{get,put}pages
instead of a modified copy.
- clean up struct vnode by removing all the fields that used to be used by
the vfs_cluster.c code (which we don't use anymore with UBC).
- remove kmem_object and mb_object since they were useless.
instead of allocating pages to these objects, we now just allocate
pages with no object. such pages are mapped in the kernel until they
are freed, so we can use the mapping to find the page to free it.
this allows us to remove splvm() protection in several places.
The sum of all these changes improves write throughput on my
decstation 5000/200 to within 1% of the rate of NetBSD 1.5
and reduces the elapsed time for "make release" of a NetBSD 1.5
source tree on my 128MB pc to 10% less than a 1.5 kernel took.
protocols, and lacking any timeouts, but it basically works, doing four-way
handshakes in both directions and incoming Machine Peek operations.
Oh, and Econet is Acorn's ancient, proprietary 500kbit/s networking
technology.
This also involved updating the in-kernel DES functions to correspond
to the versions in our in-tree OpenSSL, because the des_SPtrans table
has changed; the asm code will not work with the old permutation table!
C and i386 asm code for the DES, 3DES, and Blowfish CBC modes is also
included; it is not currently built as the ESP processing in esp_core.c
splits the CBC operation and the cipher transform apart. Hopefully that
will be fixed as there is a substantial performance improvement to be had
from doing so. It will remain necessary to use the C version of the
Blowfish CBC function on some i386 machines, however, as the asm version
uses bswapl, which ony 486 and later processors have. The DES CBC code
doesn't have this problem.
Finally, change esp_core.c to use the ecb3_encrypt function instead of
calling ecb_encrypt three times; this improves performance a bit, in
particular in the asm case.
guard pages. Can only debug one malloc type at a time, and nothing
larger than 1 page. But can be useful for debugging certain types

for FreeBSD project. Besides huge speed boost compared with socketpair-based
pipes, this implementation also uses pagable kernel memory instead of mbufs.
Significant differences to FreeBSD version:
* uses uvm_loan() facility for direct write
* async/SIGIO handling correct also for sync writer, async reader
* limits settable via sysctl, amountpipekva and nbigpipes available via sysctl
* pipes are unidirectional - this is enforced on file descriptor level
for now only, the code would be updated to take advantage of it
eventually
* uses lockmgr(9)-based locks instead of home brew variant
* scatter-gather write is handled correctly for direct write case, data
is transferred by PIPE_DIRECT_CHUNK bytes maximum, to avoid running out of kva
All FreeBSD/NetBSD specific code is within appropriate #ifdef, in preparation
to feed changes back to FreeBSD tree.
This pipe implementation is optional for now, add 'options NEW_PIPE'
to your kernel config to use it.

IBM 4xx series CPU features:
- New pmap and revised trap handler.
- Support on-chip timers, PCI controller, UARTs
- Framework for on-chip ethernet and watchdog timer.
General PowerPC features:
- Add in-kernel PPC floating point emulation
- New in{,4}_cksum that is between 1.5 and 5 times faster than the
old version depending on CPU type.
General changes:
- Kernel support for generic dbsym-style symbols.
network interfaces. This works by pre-computing the pseudo-header
checksum and caching it, delaying the actual checksum to ip_output()
if the hardware cannot perform the sum for us. In-bound checksums
can either be fully-checked by hardware, or summed up for final
verification by software. This method was modeled after how this
is done in FreeBSD, although the code is significantly different in
most places.
We don't delay checksums for IPv6/TCP, but we do take advantage of the
cached pseudo-header checksum.
Note: hardware-assisted checksumming defaults to "off". It is
enabled with ifconfig(8). See the manual page for details.
Implement hardware-assisted checksumming on the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet,
3c90xB/3c90xC 10/100 Ethernet, and Alteon Tigon/Tigon2 Gigabit Ethernet.
enabling the INET6_MD_CKSUM option, which is defopted into opt_inet.h.
Supply an i386 assembly version of in6_cksum in in_cksum.s; on
P6-family cpu's, this is is roughly 20% faster than the C code in
sys/netinet6 for ethernet-mtu-sized mbufs in L1 cache. Turn on
INET6_MD_CKSUM in i386/conf/std.i386
While we're here, also nuke some now-obsolete XXX comments from
in_cksum.s.
This is based on amiga's siop driver, but converted to use
bus_space(9) functions and modified to fit bus_dma(9) framework.
Currently tested on NetBSD/arc with jazzio 53c710 SCSI,
which really requires bus_dma(9) functions :-)
Sync transfers and disconnect/reconnect are also working.
TODO:
- Test under more heavy load
- Clean up osiop_checkintr() hander
- Reorganize command queue and sync negotiation handling more suitable
for thorpej-scsipi mid-layer
- Re-think defered interrupt handling for amiga
based on the existing net/if_spppsubr.c stuff.
While there are completely userland (bpf based) implementations available,
those have a vastly larger per packet overhead thus causing major CPU
overhead and higher latency. On an i386 base router, running a 486DX at 50MHz
my line (768kBit/s downstream) was limited to something (varying) between 10
and 20 kByte/s effective download rate. With this implementation I get full
bandwidth (~85kByte/s).
This is client side only. Arguably the right way to add full PPPoE support
(including server side) would be a variation of the ppp line discipline and
appropriate modifications to pppd. I promise every help I can give to anyone
doing that - but I needed this realy fast. Besids, on low memory NAT boxes
with typically a single PPPoE connection, this implementation is more
lightweight than a pppd based one, which nicely fits my needs.
This now provides slightly more functionality than the FreeBSD layer1-newbus
interface. It was meant to be a simple change to one header and a few
c files, but the change rippled all through various stuff.
To prevent a change to the kernel<->userland interface right now the kernel
is now lying about card types to userland (but who cares). This will be fixed
when the userland interface changes, after layer 3 <-> layer 4 has been
fixed.
Functional changes:
Provide a clean interface for hardware drivers to attach to the upper
layers. This will need another small change in the B-channel handling
when a similar change to the layer 3 <-> layer 4 interface happens.
Avoid passing indices into global arrays of pointers around, instead pass
the pointers itself. Don't code hardware driver types by predefined magic
numbers (think LKM). Prepare for detachable drivers (think pcmcia).
While there remove some sets of function pointers always pointing to the
same function (meant to be the configurable set of D channel protocol
handlers). It is unlikely another supported D-channel protocol will fit into
that (maximal layer interface) abstraction. When we get support for another
protocol, we will need to come up with a workable interface. Besides, the
old implementation was, uhm, strange.
including layer_*.c if "options LKM". This is not the right way to fix
it, but we have as yet no standardized mechanism to add a "LKM code
library" to fill in gaps in the monolithic kernel's code.

This is the kernel part (userland to follow soon) of the latest (and
very probably last) release (version 0.96) of ISDN4BSD. ISDN4BSD has a
homepage at http://www.freebsd-support.de/i4b/.
It gives the user various ways to use the isdn connection: raw data (via
the i4brbch "raw b-channel" device), ppp (via the isp "isdn PPP" device),
voice/answering machine (the i4btel "telephone" device) and ip over isdn
(the ipr device, "IP over raw ISDN").
Supported are a bunch of common and older cards, more to be added soon
after some cleanup. Currently only the european E-DSS1 variant of the
ISDN D channel protocol is supported.
This is very adhoc work for IETF meeting.
- Since it seems that 'an' and 'wi' have similar hardware, low level
