packet loss, of between 10-30%. The fix is to put the PHY into
and take it out of local loopback mode when resetting the interface.

o Chip full mask revision 2 or later controllers have to
set correct Tx MAC and Tx offload clock depending on negotiated
link speed.
o JMC260 chip full mask revision 2 has a silicon bug that can't
handle 64bit DMA addressing. Add workaround to the bug by
limiting DMA address space to be within 32bit.
o Valid FIFO space of receive control and status register was
changed on chip full mask revision 2 or later controllers. For
these controllers, use default 16QW as it's supposed to be the
safest value for maximum PCIe compatibility. JMicron confirmed
performance will not be reduced even if the FIFO space is set
to 16QW.
o When interface is put into suspend/shutdown state, remove Tx MAC
and Tx offload clock to save more power. We don't need Tx clock
at all in this state.
o Added new register definition for chip full mask revision 2 or
later controllers.
Thanks to JMicron for their continuous support of FreeBSD.

directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.
For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

recieves data it mistakenly thinks that its transmitting side is broken

hardware for PMCs that have been configured for sampling.
- Bug fix: acknowledge PMC hardware overflows irrespective of the
the (software) PMC's state.
- break complex conditionals in to multiple lines to avoid wrapping
- remove copious unused debug statements
- be more aggressive about cleaning in the calling thread
- eliminate usage of ENOSPC
- increase number of iterations that cxgbsp can do
- eliminate "initerr" usage to simplify ENOBUFS handling
- when coalescing pass all packets to BPF
- always set overrun if hardware queue is full
offload for VLAN frames are also supported. The VLAN hardware
assistance is available only on 82550/82551 based controllers.
While I'm here change the confusing name of bit1 in byte 22 of
configuration block to vlan_drop_en. The bit controls whether
hardware strips VLAN tagged frame or not. Special thanks to wpaul
who sent valuable VLAN related information to me.

module; the ath module now brings in the hal support. Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.
o eliminate private state indexed by 802.11 rate codes; use the hal's
rate tables directly to get the same info
o calculate a mask of operational rates to optimize lookups and checks
(instead of using for loops and similar)
o optimize size bin operations
o ignore rates marked as "do not use" in the hal phy tables
o fix bug that caused upshifting to break in 11g once the rate dropped
below 11Mb/s
o add more intelligent multi-rate tx schedules
o add support for 1/2 and 1/4 width channels
o add dev.ath.X.sample_stats sysctl to dump runtime statistics to the console
(needs to go up to a user app)
o export more tuning knobs via sysctls (still a couple of magic constants)
necessary workarounds, add code to detect these hangs and distinguish
them from other events; note this code is only invoked for anomalous
conditions and (at the moment) is a noop because the hang detection
code is in a new hal that's coming shortly
and Core Duo), models 0xF (Core2), model 0x17 (Core2Extreme) and
model 0x1C (Atom).
In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present
need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural"
events also needs to be queried at run time.
Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs
additionally support "fixed-function" counters.
- Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in
account that:
- events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family
can have differing names in vendor documentation,
- identical vendor event names may map to differing events across
CPUs,
- each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable
events.
Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor
names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or
"iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished.
- In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface
and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code.
- Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.
