The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was
overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written. To
be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by
band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels.
Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to
uses of the channel.
Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in
its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the
duration for a CTS packet.

The IBA specification refers to management "interfaces" and "agents".
The interface is the component that connects to the queue pair and
sends and receives MADs; the agent is the component that constructs
the reply to the MAD.
Rename the IB_{QPN,QKEY,QPT} constants as a first step towards making
this separation in gPXE.
The Linux IB Communication Manager will always send MADs to QP1,
rather than back to the originating QP. On Hermon, QP1 is by default
handled by the embedded firmware. We can change this, but the cost is
that we have to handle both QP0 and QP1 (i.e. we have to provide SMA
as well as GMA service in software), and we have to use MLX queues
rather than standard UD queues (i.e. we have to construct the UD
datagrams by hand).
There doesn't seem to be any viable way around this situation, ugly
though it is.
Queue pairs are now assumed to be created in the INIT state, with a
call to ib_modify_qp() required to bring the queue pair to the RTS
state.
ib_modify_qp() no longer takes a modification list; callers should
modify the relevant queue pair parameters (e.g. qkey) directly and
then call ib_modify_qp() to synchronise the changes to the hardware.
The packet sequence number is now a property of the queue pair, rather
than of the device.
Each queue pair may have an associated address vector. For RC queue
pairs, this is the address vector that will be programmed in to the
hardware as the remote address. For UD queue pairs, it will be used
as the default address vector if none is supplied to ib_post_send().
The queue key is stored as a property of the queue pair, and so can
optionally be added by the Infiniband core at the time of calling
ib_post_send(), rather than always having to be specified by the
caller.
This allows IPoIB to avoid explicitly keeping track of the data queue
key.
Now that path record lookups are handled entirely via
ib_resolve_path(), the only role of the IPoIB peer cache is as a
lookup table for MAC addresses. Update the code structure and
comments to reflect this.
The IPoIB broadcast MAC address varies according to the partition key.
Now that the broadcast MAC address is a property of the network device
rather than of the link layer, we can expose this real MAC address
directly.
The broadcast LID is now identified via a path record lookup; this is
marginally inefficient (since it was present in the MCMemberRecord
GetResponse), but avoids the need to special-case broadcasts when
constructing the address vector in ipoib_transmit().
Currently, all Infiniband users must create a process for polling
their completion queues (or rely on a regular hook such as
netdev_poll() in ipoib.c).
Move instead to a model whereby the Infiniband core maintains a single
process calling ib_poll_eq(), and polling the event queue triggers
polls of the applicable completion queues. (At present, the
Infiniband core simply polls all of the device's completion queues.)
Polling a completion queue will now implicitly refill all attached
receive work queues; this is analogous to the way that netdev_poll()
implicitly refills the RX ring.
Infiniband users no longer need to create a process just to poll their
completion queues and refill their receive rings.
IPoIB and the SMA have separate constants for the packet size to be
used to I/O buffer allocations. Merge these into the single
IB_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE constant.
(Various other points in the Infiniband stack have hard-coded
assumptions of a 2048-byte payload; we don't currently support
variable MTUs.)
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
Move the icky call to step() from aoe.c to ata.c; this takes it at
least one step further away from where it really doesn't belong.
Unfortunately, AoE has the ugly aoe_discover() mechanism which means
that we still have a step() loop in aoe.c for now; this needs to be
replaced at some future point.
In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.
Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

Several SPI chips will respond to an SPI read command with a dummy
zero bit immediately prior to the first real data bit. This can be
used to autodetect the address length, provided that the command
length and data length are already known, and that the MISO data line

Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.
Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.
Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
Following the example of the Linux driver, we add a check and delay to
make sure that the NIC has finished resetting before the driver issues
any additional commands.

Problem reported by Kristof Van Doorsselaere <kvandoor@aserver.com>
and Shiva Shankar <802.11e@gmail.com>.
Driver was storing the result of pci_bar_start() and pci_bar_size() in
an int, rather than an unsigned long.
(Bug was introduced in the vendor's tree in commit eac85cd "Port
etherfabric driver to net_device api".)
adjust_pci_device() has historically enabled bus-mastering and I/O
cycles, but has never previously needed to enable memory cycles. Some
EFI systems seem not to enable memory cycles by default, so add that
to the list of PCI command register bits that we force on.
When compiling for the Linux kernel, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0 == 0, and
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_1 == 1. This is not so when compiling for gPXE. We
must use the symbolic names rather than integers to get the correct
values.

The patch file supplied for commit 3a799e9 ("[hermon] Add PCI ID for
ConnectX QDR card") accidentally marked drivers/infiniband/hermon.c as
being executable.
This driver is based on Stefan Hajnoczi's summer work, which
is in turn based on version 1.01 of the linux b44 driver.
I just assembled the pieces and fixed/added a few pieces
here and there to make it work for my hardware.
The most major limitation is that this driver won't work
on systems with >1GB RAM due to the card not having enough
address bits for that and gPXE not working around this
limitation.
Still, other than that the driver works well enough for
at least 2 users :) and the above limitation can always
be fixed when somebody wants it bad enough :)

This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
The return path in directed route SMPs lists the egress ports in order
from SM to node, rather than from node to SM.
To write to the correct offset within the return path, we need to
parse the hop pointer. This is held within the class-specific data
portion of the MAD header, which was previously unused by us and
defined to be a uint16_t. Define this field to be a union type; this
requires some rearrangement of ib_mad.h and corresponding changes to
ipoib.c.
These cards very nearly support our current IB Verbs model. There is
one minor difference: multicast packets will always be delivered by
the hardware to QP0, so the driver has to redirect them to the
appropriate QP. This means that QP owners may see receive completions
for buffers that they never posted. Nothing in our current codebase
will break because of this.
This can be used with cards that require the driver to construct and
parse packet headers manually. Headers are optionally handled
out-of-line from the packet payload, since some such cards will split
received headers into a separate ring buffer.
Some Infiniband cards will not be as accommodating as the Arbel and
Hermon cards in providing enough space for us to push a fake extra
header at the start of the received packet. We must therefore make do
with squeezing enough information to identify source and destination
addresses into the two bytes of padding within a genuine IPoIB
link-layer header.
Not all Infiniband cards have embedded subnet management agents.
Split out the code that communicates with such an embedded SMA into a
separate ib_smc.c file, and have drivers call ib_smc_update()
explicitly when they suspect that the answers given by the embedded
SMA may have changed.
Receive completion handlers now get passed an address vector
containing the information extracted from the packet headers
(including the GRH, if present), and only the payload remains in the
I/O buffer.
This breaks the symmetry between transmit and receive completions, so
remove the ib_completer_t type and use an ib_completion_queue_operations
structure instead.
Rename the "destination QPN" and "destination LID" fields in struct
ib_address_vector to reflect its new dual usage.
Since the ib_completion structure now contains only an IB status code,
("syndrome") replace it with a generic gPXE integer status code.
Avoid leaking I/O buffers in ib_destroy_qp() by completing any
outstanding work queue entries with a generic error code. This
requires the completion handlers to be available to ib_destroy_qp(),
which is done by making them static configuration parameters of the CQ
(set by ib_create_cq()) rather than being provided on each call to
ib_poll_cq().
This mimics the functionality of netdev_{tx,rx}_flush(). The netdev
flush functions would previously have been catching any I/O buffers
leaked by the IPoIB data queue (though not by the IPoIB metadata
queue).
Add the simplified ne2k_isa driver. It is just a selective copy+paste
of the relevant parts from ns8390.c plus a little trivial hacking to
make it actually work.
It is true that the code is pretty ugly, but:
a) ns8390.c is worse
b) It is only 372 lines and no #ifdefs
c) It works both in qemu/bochs and in real hardware
and we all know it is easier to cleanup working code
Hope someone will find the time to rewrite this driver properly,
but until then at least for me this is an ok solution.

Halting the PEGs breaks platforms where there is sideband access to
the NIC (e.g. HP machines using iLO). (We have to retain the
unhalting code because on some other platforms (e.g. IBM blades with
BOFM) the pre-PXE firmware must halt the PEGs to avoid issues with the
BIOS rereading via the expansion ROM BAR.)
This is something of an ugly hack to accommodate an OEM requirement.
The NIC has only one expansion ROM BAR, rather than one per port. To
allow individual ports to be selectively enabled/disabled for PXE boot
(as required), we must therefore leave the expansion ROM always
enabled, and place the per-port enable/disable logic within the gPXE
driver.
The Phantom firmware selectively disables PCI functions based on the
board type, with the end result that we see one PCI function for each
network port. This allows us to eliminate the code for reading from
flash and, more importantly, removes knowledge of the board type magic
number from the gPXE driver.
Settings can be constructed using a dotted-decimal notation, to allow
for access to unnamed settings. The default interpretation is as a
DHCP option number (with encapsulated options represented as
"<encapsulating option>.<encapsulated option>".
In several contexts (e.g. SMBIOS, Phantom CLP), it is useful to
interpret the dotted-decimal notation as referring to non-DHCP
options. In this case, it becomes necessary for these contexts to
ignore standard DHCP options, otherwise we end up trying to, for
example, retrieve the boot filename from SMBIOS.
Allow settings blocks to specify a "tag magic". When dotted-decimal
notation is used to construct a setting, the tag magic value of the
originating settings block will be ORed in to the tag number.
Store/fetch methods can then check for the magic number before
interpreting arbitrarily-numbered settings.
This interface provides access to firmware settings (e.g. MAC address)
that will apply to all drivers loaded for the duration of the current
system boot.
A hardware bug means that reads through the expansion ROM BAR can
return corrupted data if the PEGs are running. This breaks platforms
that re-read the expansion ROM after invoking gPXE code, such as IBM
blade servers.
Halt PEGs during driver shutdown, and unhalt PEGs during driver
startup if we detect that this is not the first startup since
power-on.
Most other Phantom drivers define a register space in terms of a 64M
virtual address space. While this doesn't map in any meaningful way
to the actual addresses used on the latest cards, it makes maintenance
easier if we do the same.
The virtnet_transmit() logic for waiting the packet to be transmitted is
reversed: we can't wait the packet to be transmitted if we didn't kick()
the ring yet. The vring_more_used() while loop logic is reversed also,
that explains why the code works today.
The current code risks trying to free a buffer from the used ring
when none was available, that will happen most times because KVM
doesn't handle the packet immediately on kick(). Luckily it was working
because it was unlikely to have a buffer still queued for transmit when
virtnet_transmit() was called.
Also, adds a BUG_ON() to vring_get_buf(), to catch cases where we try
to free a buffer from the used ring when there was none available.

a chance to test gPXE using virtio-net yet.

EFI requires us to be able to specify the source address for
individual transmitted packets, and to be able to extract the
destination address on received packets.
Take advantage of this to rationalise the push() and pull() methods so
that push() takes a (dest,source,proto) tuple and pull() returns a
(dest,source,proto) tuple.
Multicast hashing is an ugly overlap between network and link layers.
EFI requires us to provide access to this functionality, so move it
out of ipv4.c and expose it as a method of the link layer.
-Wformat-nonliteral is not enabled by -Wall and needs to be explicitly
specified.
Modified the few files that use nonliteral format strings to work with
this new setting in place.
Inspired by a patch from Carl Karsten <carl@personnelware.com> and an
identical patch from Rorschach <r0rschach@lavabit.com>.
Some devices (e.g. the Atmel AT24C11) have no concept of a device
address; they respond to every device address and use this value as
the word address. Some other devices use part of the device address
field to extend the word address field.
Generalise the i2c bit-bashing support to handle this by defining the
device address length and word address length as properties of an i2c
device. The word address is assumed to overflow into the device
address field if the address used exceeds the width of the word
address field.
Also add a bus reset mechanism. i2c chips don't usually have a reset
line, so rebooting the host will not clear any bizarre state that the
chip may be in. We reset the bus by clocking SCL until we see SDA
high, at which point we know we can generate a start condition and
have it seen by all devices. We then generate a stop condition to
leave the bus in a known state prior to use.
Finally, add some extra debugging messages to i2c_bit.c.
Use individual page mappings rather than a single whole-region
mapping, to avoid the waste of memory that occurs due to the
constraint that each mapped block must be aligned on its own size.
We were accidentally allocating only half the required amount of
memory (given the alignment method) for the firmware buffer, leading
to conflicts between the firmware buffer and gPXE code/data segments.

It is possible for the BIOS to use the UNDI API to bring up the NIC
prior to system boot. If this happens, UNM_NIC_REG_CMDPEG_STATE will
contain the value 0xf00f (UNM_NIC_REG_CMDPEG_STATE_INITIALIZE_ACK),
and we should skip initialising the command PEG.
The firmware will now determine the right port mode on all cards, so
the PXE driver doesn't have to set it. (Setting the port mode
apparently breaks some newer cards.)
Commit f58cc3f introduced a temporary workaround for a bug in current
prototype silicon, but failed to apply it to all eight PCI functions
within the device.
Determine the network-layer packet type and fill it in for UNDI
clients. This is required by some NBPs such as emBoot's winBoot/i.
This change requires refactoring the link-layer portions of the
gPXE netdevice API, so that it becomes possible to strip the
link-layer header without passing the packet up the network stack.
This patch adds support for the virtio-net adapter provided by KVM.

In tg3_chip_reset(), the PCI_EXPRESS change is taken from the Linux
tg3 driver. I am not sure what exactly it does (it is not documented
in the Linux driver), but it is necessary for the NIC to work
correctly.
Conjecture: The hardware issues 64-bit DMA writes of status descriptors,
which some PCI bridges seem to split into two 32-bit writes in reverse
order (i.e. dword 1 first). This means that we sometimes observe a
partial status descriptor. Add an explicit check to ensure that the
descriptor is complete before processing it.
Also ensure that the RDS consumer counter is incremented only when we
know that we have actually consumed an RX descriptor.
ns8390.c can produce four different drivers (one PCI, three ISA.) The
ISA driver requires setting a few macros; do that by setting defines
in stub files instead of using src/Config.
Currently, all the ISA drivers are broken (they were not enabled by
default), so #if 0 them out.

driver's probe() routine fills in in nic->irqno. This is so that
non-interrupt-capable legacy drivers which set nic->irqno=0 will end
up reporting IRQ#0 via PXENV_UNDI_GET_INFORMATION; this in turn means
that the calling PXE NBP will (should) hook the timer interrupt, and
everything will sort of work.
The e1000_irq() routine should (per mcb30) do enable on non-zero,
disable on zero. This is not consistent in all drivers, so I'll
wait to update it when doing a global sweep.
This needs to be done manually because if the irq() routine is
implemented then we want something like "nic->irqno = pci->irqno;",
else we do "nic->irqno = 0;" nic->ioaddr may also need to be set
carefully.
Also added local variables to end of many files, for emacs indentation
to match kernel style (tab does 8 space indent).
There may still be an issue with memory handling, since it seems to
