series of controllers. Areca provides a CLI and HTTP management tool for
FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 on their website. Many thanks to Areca for
their support of FreeBSD. Thanks also to Mike Tansca and Sentex Communications
for donating hardware.

ndis_timercall() in NdisMInitializeTimer(), we can't use the raw
function pointer. This is because ntoskrnl_run_dpc() expects to
invoke a function with Microsoft calling conventions. On i386,
this works because ndis_timercall() is declared with the __stdcall
attribute, but this is a no-op on amd64. To do it correctly, we
have to generate a wrapper for ndis_timercall() and us the wrapper
instead of of the raw function pointer.
Fix this by adding ndis_timercall() to the funcptr table in subr_ndis.c,
and create ndis_findwrap() to extract the wrapped function from the
table in NdisMInitializeTimer() instead of just passing ndis_timercall()
to KeInitializeDpc() directly.
checks, including cpuid_is_k7(), will catch CPUs that really don't support
this method.

on filesystems which safely support them. It appears that many
network filesystems specifically are not shared lock safe.

since simply unlocking a mutex does not ensure that one of the waiters
will run and acquire it. We're more likely to reacquire the mutex
before anyone else has a chance. It has also bit me three times now, as
it's not safe to drop the interlock before sleeping in many cases.

objdump --disassemble when disassembling itself in userland. I've added
the cmovCC instruction group and tweaked a bunch of size sensitive array
indexes to either fix my mistakes and/or force it to work by any means
necessary.
I'm committing this because it is usable enough to see what is going on
when single stepping via ddb.
It might still tell lies, but its lies will be far more subtle now. I'm
not sure that this is a good thing or not.
instructions as it was when I dropped it back in May 31, 2003. I'm
committing this as an intermediate stage because back then I thought I
understood what I was doing with this file.
an ap in 11g with protection enabled
o correct rate selection when operating in 11g with protection when no
packets have been sent yet (from John Bicket)
o track api change to get first descriptor and use it to collect the frame
length for calculating the state bin
o add more debugging and shuffle some existing debugging to give more info
o bump version to distinguish bug fixes
to the rate control module for tx complete processing; this enables
rate control algorithms to extract the packet length for xmits that
require multiple descriptors
o ATA is now fully newbus'd and split into modules.
This means that on a modern system you just load "atapci and ata"
to get the base support, and then one or more of the device
subdrivers "atadisk atapicd atapifd atapist ataraid".
All can be loaded/unloaded anytime, but for obvious reasons you
dont want to unload atadisk when you have mounted filesystems.
o The device identify part of the probe has been rewritten to fix
the problems with odd devices the old had, and to try to remove
so of the long delays some HW could provoke. Also probing is done
without the need for interrupts, making earlier probing possible.
o SATA devices can be hot inserted/removed and devices will be created/
removed in /dev accordingly.
NOTE: only supported on controllers that has this feature:
Promise and Silicon Image for now.
On other controllers the usual atacontrol detach/attach dance is
still needed.
o Support for "atomic" composite ATA requests used for RAID.
o ATA RAID support has been rewritten and and now supports these
metadata formats:
"Adaptec HostRAID"
"Highpoint V2 RocketRAID"
"Highpoint V3 RocketRAID"
"Intel MatrixRAID"
"Integrated Technology Express"
"LSILogic V2 MegaRAID"
"LSILogic V3 MegaRAID"
"Promise FastTrak"
"Silicon Image Medley"
"FreeBSD PseudoRAID"
o Update the ioctl API to match new RAID levels etc.
o Update atacontrol to know about the new RAID levels etc
NOTE: you need to recompile atacontrol with the new sys/ata.h,
make world will take care of that.
NOTE2: that rebuild is done differently from the old system as
the rebuild is now done piggybacked on read requests to the
array, so atacontrol simply starts a background "dd" to rebuild
the array.
o The reinit code has been worked over to be much more robust.
o The timeout code has been overhauled for races.
o Support of new chipsets.
o Lots of fixes for bugs found while doing the modulerization and
reviewing the old code.
Missing or changed features from current ATA:
o atapi-cd no longer has support for ATAPI changers. Todays its
much cheaper and alot faster to copy those CD images to disk
and serve them from there. Besides they dont seem to be made
anymore, maybe for that exact reason.
o ATA RAID can only read metadata from all the above metadata formats,
not write all of them (Promise and Highpoint V2 so far). This means
that arrays can be picked up from the BIOS, but they cannot be
created from FreeBSD. There is more to it than just the missing
write metadata support, those formats are not unique to a given
controller like Promise and Highpoint formats, instead they exist
for several types, and even worse, some controllers can have
different formats and its impossible to tell which one.
The outcome is that we cannot reliably create the metadata of those
formats and be sure the controller BIOS will understand it.
However write support is needed to update/fail/rebuild the arrays
properly so it sits fairly high on the TODO list.
o So far atapicam is not supported with these changes. When/if this
will change is up to the maintainer of atapi-cam so go there for
questions.

carp_carpdev_state_locked() is called every time carp interface is attached.
The first call backs up flags of the first interface, and the second
call backs up them again, erasing correct values.
To solve this, a carp_sc_state_locked() function is introduced. It is
called when interface is attached to parent, instead of calling
carp_carpdev_state_locked. carp_carpdev_state_locked() calls
carp_sc_state_locked() for each sc in chain.

queues lock in vm_object_backing_scan(). Updates to the page's PG_BUSY
flag and busy field are synchronized by the containing object's lock.
Testing the page's hold_count and wire_count in vm_object_backing_scan()'s
OBSC_COLLAPSE_NOWAIT case is unnecessary. There is no reason why the held
or wired pages cannot be migrated to the shadow object.

filesystem modules must be recompiled. (Since struct vnode has
already changed in 6-CURRENT, there's little advantage to leaving
the unused fields around.)
vnodes whose names it caches, so we no longer need a `generation
number' to tell us if a referenced vnode is invalid. Replace the use
of the parent's v_id in the hash function with the address of the
parent vnode.

except for places where people forget to update one of them. We now
collect only one set of stats for both of these routines. Other
changes in this commit include:
- Start acquiring Giant again in vn_fullpath(), since it is required
when crossing a mount point.
- Expand the scope of the cache lock to avoid dropping it and
picking it up again for every pathname component. This also
makes it trivial to avoid races in stats collection.
- Assert that nc_dvp == v_dd for directories instead of returning
an error to userland when this is not true. AFAIK, it should
always be true when v_dd is non-null.
- For vn_fullpath(), handle the first (non-directory) vnode
separately.
