CAM.
Desriptor sense is a new sense data format that originated in SPC-3. Among
other things, it allows for an 8-byte info field, which is necessary to
pass back block numbers larger than 4 bytes.
This change adds a number of new functions to scsi_all.c (and therefore
libcam) that abstract out most access to sense data.
This includes a bump of CAM_VERSION, because the CCB ABI has changed.
Userland programs that use the CAM pass(4) driver will need to be
recompiled.
camcontrol.c: Change uses of scsi_extract_sense() to use
scsi_extract_sense_len().
Use scsi_get_sks() instead of accessing sense key specific
data directly.
scsi_modes: Update the control mode page to the latest version (SPC-4).
scsi_cmds.c,
scsi_target.c: Change references to struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed. This should be changed to allow the
user to specify fixed or descriptor sense, and then use
scsi_set_sense_data() to build the sense data.
ps3cdrom.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of setting sense data
manually.
cam_periph.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of using
scsi_extract_sense() or accessing sense data directly.
cam_ccb.h: Bump the CAM_VERSION from 0x15 to 0x16. The change of
struct scsi_sense_data from 32 to 252 bytes changes the
size of struct ccb_scsiio, but not the size of union ccb.
So the version must be bumped to prevent structure
mis-matches.
scsi_all.h: Lots of updated SCSI sense data and other structures.
Add function prototypes for the new sense data functions.
Take out the inline implementation of scsi_extract_sense().
It is now too large to put in a header file.
Add macros to calculate whether fields are present and
filled in fixed and descriptor sense data
scsi_all.c: In scsi_op_desc(), allow the user to pass in NULL inquiry
data, and we'll assume a direct access device in that case.
Changed the SCSI RESERVED sense key name and description
to COMPLETED, as it is now defined in the spec.
Change the error recovery action for a number of read errors
to prevent lots of retries when the drive has said that the
block isn't accessible. This speeds up reconstruction of
the block by any RAID software running on top of the drive
(e.g. ZFS).
In scsi_sense_desc(), allow for invalid sense key numbers.
This allows calling this routine without checking the input
values first.
Change scsi_error_action() to use scsi_extract_sense_len(),
and handle things when invalid asc/ascq values are
encountered.
Add a new routine, scsi_desc_iterate(), that will call the
supplied function for every descriptor in descriptor format
sense data.
Add scsi_set_sense_data(), and scsi_set_sense_data_va(),
which build descriptor and fixed format sense data. They
currently default to fixed format sense data.
Add a number of scsi_get_*() functions, which get different
types of sense data fields from either fixed or descriptor
format sense data, if the data is present.
Add a number of scsi_*_sbuf() functions, which print
formatted versions of various sense data fields. These
functions work for either fixed or descriptor sense.
Add a number of scsi_sense_*_sbuf() functions, which have a
standard calling interface and print the indicated field.
These functions take descriptors only.
Add scsi_sense_desc_sbuf(), which will print a formatted
version of the given sense descriptor.
Pull out a majority of the scsi_sense_sbuf() function and
put it into scsi_sense_only_sbuf(). This allows callers
that don't use struct ccb_scsiio to easily utilize the
printing routines. Revamp that function to handle
descriptor sense and use the new sense fetching and
printing routines.
Move scsi_extract_sense() into scsi_all.c, and implement it
in terms of the new function, scsi_extract_sense_len().
The _len() version takes a length (which should be the
sense length - residual) and can indicate which fields are
present and valid in the sense data.
Add a couple of new scsi_get_*() routines to get the sense
key, asc, and ascq only.
mly.c: Rename struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed.
sbp_targ.c: Use the new sense fetching routines to get sense data
instead of accessing it directly.
sbp.c: Change the firewire/SCSI sense data transformation code to
use struct scsi_sense_data_fixed instead of struct
scsi_sense_data. This should be changed later to use
scsi_set_sense_data().
ciss.c: Calculate the sense residual properly. Use
scsi_get_sense_key() to fetch the sense key.
mps_sas.c,
mpt_cam.c: Set the sense residual properly.
iir.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of building sense data by
hand.
iscsi_subr.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of grabbing sense data
directly.
umass.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() to build sense data.
Grab the sense key using scsi_get_sense_key().
Calculate the sense residual properly.
isp_freebsd.h: Use scsi_get_*() routines to grab asc, ascq, and sense key
values.
Calculate and set the sense residual.

If a selinfo object is recorded (via selrecord()) and then it is
quickly destroyed, with the waiters missing the opportunity to awake,
at the next iteration they will find the selinfo object destroyed,
causing a PF#.
That happens because the selinfo interface has no way to drain the
waiters before to destroy the registered selinfo object. Also this
race is quite rare to get in practice, because it would require a
selrecord(), a poll request by another thread and a quick destruction
of the selrecord()'ed selinfo object.
Fix this by adding the seldrain() routine which should be called
before to destroy the selinfo objects (in order to avoid such case),
and fix the present cases where it might have already been called.
Sometimes, the context is safe enough to prevent this type of race,
like it happens in device drivers which installs selinfo objects on
poll callbacks. There, the destruction of the selinfo object happens
at driver detach time, when all the filedescriptors should be already
closed, thus there cannot be a race.
For this case, mfi(4) device driver can be set as an example, as it
implements a full correct logic for preventing this from happening.

Update to use the latest version of the PCI IDs Repository.
As discussed on -current@ in May, this brings in a new source of the database,
which is also used by other operating systems. Our previous sources no longer
exist and this database is actively maintained and more complete in general.
This includes a structural change regarding atomic ops. Previously they
were enabled on all platforms unless we had knowledge that they did not
work. However both work performed by marius@ on sparc64 and the fact that
the 9.8.x branch is fussier in this area has demonstrated that this is
not a safe approach. So I've modified a patch provided by marius to
enable them for i386, amd64, and ia64 only.
As Garrett points out,
It is no more a debugging interface than setproctitle(3), and has not
been since the name started getting stuffed into the kernel. This
statement may have made sense when the name was only visible in thread
state dumps and the debugger.

When "make update" is run using a tree's makefile, it can also use

Clean up documentation and code regarding "make update":
- Increase oddness by adding support for WWWSUPFILE and NO_WWWUPDATE to

DOCSUPFILE/NO_DOCUPDATE; WWWSUPFILE already supported by www/Makefile).
- Document all trees that support CVS_UPDATE.
