dev.bce.<unit>.nvram_dump
Add the capability to write the complete contents of the NVRAM via sysctl
dev.bce.<unit>.nvram_write
These are only available if the kernel option BCE_DEBUG is enabled.
The nvram_write sysctl also requires the kernel option
BCE_NVRAM_WRITE_SUPPORT to be enabled. These are to be used at your
own caution. Since the MAC addresses are stored in the NVRAM, if you
dump one NIC and restore it on another NIC the destination NIC's
MAC addresses will not be preserved. A tool can be made using these
sysctl's to manage the on-chip firmware.

Unlike actual MTRR, this only controls the mapping attributes for
subsequent mmap() of /dev/mem. Nonetheless, the support is sufficiently
MTRR-like that Xorg can use it, which translates into an enormous increase
in graphics performance on PowerPC.

it (the root mount code) into a new file called vfs_mountroot.c
The split is almost trivial, as the code is almost perfectly
non-intertwined. The only adjustment needed was to move the UMA
zone allocation out of vfs_mountroot() [in vfs_mountroot.c] and
into vfs_mount.c, where it had to be done as a SYSINIT [see
vfs_mount_init()].

specific devfs path exists. For true device file paths we can traverse
the cdevp_list but a separate directory list is needed for user created
symbolic links.
Add a new directory entry flag DE_USER to mark entries which should
unreference their parent directory on deletion.
A new function to traverse cdevp_list and the directory list will be
introduced in a separate commit.

Bring in a driver for the LSI Logic MPT2 6Gb SAS controllers.
This driver supports basic I/O, and works with SAS and SATA drives and
expanders.
Basic error recovery works (i.e. timeouts and aborts) as well.
Integrated RAID isn't supported yet, and there are some known bugs.
So this isn't ready for production use, but is certainly ready for
testing and additional development. For the moment, new commits to this
driver should go into the FreeBSD Perforce repository first
(//depot/projects/mps/...) and then get merged into -current once
they've been vetted.
This has only been added to the amd64 GENERIC, since that is the only
architecture I have tested this driver with.

the existing code was very platform specific, and broken for SMP systems
trying to reboot from KDB.
- Add a new PLATFORM_RESET() method to the platform KOBJ interface, and
migrate existing reset functions into platform modules.
- Modify the OF_reboot() routine to submit the request by hand to avoid
the IPIs involved in the regular openfirmware() routine. This fixes
reboot from KDB on SMP machines.
- Move non-KDB reset and poweroff functions on the Powermac platform
into the relevant power control drivers (cuda, pmu, smu), instead of
using them through the Open Firmware backdoor.
- Rename platform_chrp to platform_powermac since it has become
increasingly Powermac specific. When we gain support for IBM systems,
we will grow a new platform_chrp.
provide PCI devices for various hardware such as memory controllers, etc.
These PCI buses are not enumerated via ACPI however. Add qpi(4) psuedo
bus and Host-PCI bridge drivers to enumerate these buses. Currently the
driver uses the CPU ID to determine the bridges' presence.

Makefiles or *.mk files, use ${CC:T:Mfoo} instead, so only the basename
of the compiler command (excluding any arguments) is considered.
This allows you to use, for example, CC="/nondefault/path/clang -xxx",
and still have the various tests in bsd.*.mk identify your compiler as
clang correctly.

zones for each malloc bucket size. The purpose is to isolate
different malloc types into hash classes, so that any buffer overruns
or use-after-free will usually only affect memory from malloc types in
that hash class. This is purely a debugging tool; by varying the hash
function and tracking which hash class was corrupted, the intersection
of the hash classes from each instance will point to a single malloc
type that is being misused. At this point inspection or memguard(9)
can be used to catch the offending code.
Add MALLOC_DEBUG_MAXZONES=8 to -current GENERIC configuration files.

library:
o) Increase inline unit / large function growth limits for MIPS to accommodate
the needs of the Simple Executive, which uses a shocking amount of inlining.
o) Remove TARGET_OCTEON and use CPU_CNMIPS to do things required by cnMIPS and
the Octeon SoC.
o) Add OCTEON_VENDOR_LANNER to use Lanner's allocation of vendor-specific
board numbers, specifically to support the MR320.
o) Add OCTEON_BOARD_CAPK_0100ND to hard-wire configuration for the CAPK-0100nd,
which improperly uses an evaluation board's board number and breaks board
detection at runtime. This board is sold by Portwell as the CAM-0100.
o) Add support for the RTC available on some Octeon boards.
o) Add support for the Octeon PCI bus. Note that rman_[sg]et_virtual for IO
ports can not work unless building for n64.
o) Clean up the CompactFlash driver to use Simple Executive macros and
structures where possible (it would be advisable to use the Simple Executive
API to set the PIO mode, too, but that is not done presently.) Also use
structures from FreeBSD's ATA layer rather than structures copied from
Linux.
o) Print available Octeon SoC features on boot.
o) Add support for the Octeon timecounter.
o) Use the Simple Executive's routines rather than local copies for doing reads
and writes to 64-bit addresses and use its macros for various device
addresses rather than using local copies.
o) Rename octeon_board_real to octeon_is_simulation to reduce differences with
Cavium-provided code originally written for Linux. Also make it use the
same simplified test that the Simple Executive and Linux both use rather
than our complex one.
o) Add support for the Octeon CIU, which is the main interrupt unit, as a bus
to use normal interrupt allocation and setup routines.
o) Use the Simple Executive's bootmem facility to allocate physical memory for
the kernel, rather than assuming we know which addresses we can steal.
NB: This may reduce the amount of RAM the kernel reports you as having if
you are leaving large temporary allocations made by U-Boot allocated
when starting FreeBSD.
o) Add a port of the Cavium-provided Ethernet driver for Linux. This changes
Ethernet interface naming from rgmxN to octeN. The new driver has vast
improvements over the old one, both in performance and functionality, but
does still have some features which have not been ported entirely and there
may be unimplemented code that can be hit in everyday use. I will make
every effort to correct those as they are reported.
o) Support loading the kernel on non-contiguous cores.
o) Add very conservative support for harvesting randomness from the Octeon
random number device.
o) Turn SMP on by default.
o) Clean up the style of the Octeon kernel configurations a little and make
them compile with -march=octeon.
o) Add support for the Lanner MR320 and the CAPK-0100nd to the Simple
Executive.
o) Modify the Simple Executive to build on FreeBSD and to build without
executive-config.h or cvmx-config.h. In the future we may want to
revert part of these changes and supply executive-config.h and
cvmx-config.h and access to the options contained in those files via
kernel configuration files.
o) Modify the Simple Executive USB routines to support getting and setting
of the USB PID.
