History
Gerard Roudier 7a35ada03e Simplifications: 
- Remove all the code intended to deal with experimental
  C1010 revisions. This code got useless due to commercial
  chip revisions having been fixed.
Fixes:
- Rewrite/rework the WSR condition handling.
  Previous drivers snooped on the BUS through the SBDL IO
  register and this has been discovered to trigger a spurious
  SCSI parity error when WSR had been set by chip and cleared
  by SCRIPTS prior to reading SBDL bit [0...7].
  On the other hand, the C1010 does not use the SWIDE register
  when synchronous data transfers are taking place and
  requires a CHMOV (1) WHEN DATA_IN to be performed in order
  to move to memory the residual byte when WSR is set and
  the residual byte is useful data.
  BTW, the new WSR handling by the driver is simpler.
- No longer attempt to read from SCRIPTS the SBDL register.
  This is intended to avoid to be victimized again by any other
  issue regarding the handling of this register by 8xx chips.
Miscellaneous:
- The driver is now able to handle the WSR + IGN RESIDUE
  condition at the end of a DATA IN I/O without need of a
  programmed interrupt. It is a minor? optimization.
- A few other minor cosmetic changes.

This driver version fixes notably a permanent SCSI parity
error condition at boot that can be triggerred due to recent
changes in cam_xpt.c between 1.79 and 1.80.
Changes in CAM/XPT are fine, but the new handling of the full
INQUIRY may trigger the driver problem when a target returned
an odd value in the `additionnal length' field of the INQUIRY
response.

The diff against previous driver version is large, but it
consists approximatively in:
- 350 lignes removed and not compiled in previous drivers
  (They addressed experimental C1010 revisions)
- 250 lignes added or changed, half being comments or empty
  lines.
So, in fact, the real changes are about 120 lines of source.
About 80 lines address SCRIPTS changes and about 40 lines
address C code changes.

  sym_defs.h		driver definitions
  sym_hipd.c		driver code
  sym_sys.patch		kernel patch for FreeBSD 4
  sym_sys_3.patch	kernel patch for FreeBSD 3

These patches apply a change to the ncr.c driver that forces it to 
ignore SYM53C8XX chips that support LOAD/STORE. These devices will 
be attached by the sym_hipd.c driver.

Installation:
  1) Untar SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz
  2) Create the /usr/src/sys/dev/sym directory
  3) Copy README.sym, sym_conf.h, sym_defs.h and sym_hipd.c to 
     /usr/src/sys/dev/sym/
  4) Change to /usr/src/sys/ directory
  5) If FreeBSD-4, apply the unified patch sym_sys.patch
         (patch -p0 <sym_sys.patch)
     Otherwise,
     If FreeBSD-3, apply the unified patch sym_sys_3.patch
         (patch -p0 <sym_sys_3.patch)
     Otherwise, leave here. ;)
  6) Change to /usr/src/sys/dev/sym directory
  7) Update to SYM-0.11.0-19991120
     gzip -d <PATCH-SYM-0.10.0-19991111.gz | patch -p0
     gzip -d <PATCH-SYM-0.11.0-19991120.gz | patch -p0
     gzip -d <PATCH-SYM-0.12.0-19991127.gz | patch -p0
  8) Add sym0 to your kernel configuration as indicated in patched LINT file.
     Configure and make your kernel.

As seen from the shell history file (driver material assumed from /tmp), 
installation should proceed as follow (modulo mistakes from me:)):

cd /tmp
tar zxvf SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz
cp SYM-0.9.0-19991024/* /usr/src/sys/dev/sym
cd /usr/src/sys
patch -p0 <dev/sym/sym_sys.patch    # use sym_sys_3.patch if FreeBSD-3.X
cd dev/sym
gzip -d </tmp/PATCH-SYM-0.10.0-19991111.gz | patch -p0
gzip -d </tmp/PATCH-SYM-0.11.0-19991120.gz | patch -p0
gzip -d </tmp/PATCH-SYM-0.12.0-19991127.gz | patch -p0

Configuring Ultra-3 DT data transfer support.
---------------------------------------------
If you have a board using the SYM53C1010 (only evaluation boards seem to 
be available for now), you may want to give Ultra-3 DT transfer a try.
For the reasons that FreeBSD-CAM is not yet ready for Ultra-3 and that 
early SYM53C1010 chips need some work-around for DT transfers to work 
reliably, you must apply manually the following additionnal patch to your 
kernel tree:

---------------------- Cut Here ------------------------

This change consist in allowing sync factor 9 support to be handled 
by scsi_all.c and a compilation option to be defined in sym_conf.h.
The driver may only start a PPR negotiation if sync factor is 9.
This change has been only tested on FreeBSD-3.3 for the moment.

For the PPR negotiation to occur at system startup time, you need to 
configure Ultra3 hard disks in the NVRAM for 80 Mega-transfers per second 
Wide.
If you prefer to use camcontrol for such a negotiation to be performed after 
system startup, then you have to rebuild either the libcam shareable library 
with the patched version of scsi_all.c, on to rebuild camcontrol using 
the new static version of the libcam library that includes the patched 
version of scsi_all.o.

Warnings:
- This driver uses LOAD/STORE instructions from SCRIPTS and therefore does 
  not support earliest NCR chips (NCR53C810, NCR53C815, NCR53C825).

Versionning:
- The version number consists in 3 numbers X.Y.Z, starting with 0.0.0.
- Z will not be used for incremental patches, but may be used for 
  quick fixes.
- Incremental diff files are of the following pattern:
            PATCH-SYM-X.Y.Z-YYYYMMDD
  They must be applied from directory: /usr/src/sys/dev/sym/
- Version 1.0.0 will happen when the driver will be tested enough but this 
  driver version will probably not officially support the C1010 (Ultra-3) 
  since the testing of Ultra3 has just started and FreeBSD-CAM is not yet  
  ready for the support of Ultra-3. Some 1.X.0 version will support 
  DT data transfer for the C1010.
- Version 2.0.0 is not planned for now, but will add support for host target 
  mode if it will ever exist.

Change log:
* SYM-0.0.0-19990915
  Initial release.

* SYM-0.1.0-19990919  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.1.0-19990919
  Add NVRAM support for latest Tekram boards using 24c16 EEPROM.

* SYM-0.2.0-19990922  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.2.0-19990922
  Add PPR negotiation and Ultra3 DT transfers for the LSI53C1010.
  This corresponding code is untested since I haven't yet the 
  hardware. But the driver is not broken for current chips.

* SYM-0.3.0-19990925  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.3.0-19990925
  Source review.
  Testing of the QUEUE FULL handling (some fixes applied).

* SYM-0.4.0-19990925  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.4.0-19990928)
  Fixes, notably the QUEUE FULL handling that requeued everything 
  without telling the XPT about the error. Note that this did not 
  break anything, but the queue depth was never reduced.

* SYM-0.5.0-19991001  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.5.0-19991001)
  Problem of not discovering LUNs != 0 hopefully fixed.
  Some other minor fixes.

* SYM-0.6.0-19991003  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.6.0-19991003)
  Test error recovery pathes and residual calculation.
  Improve Symbios NVRAM support by applying the SCAN_LUNS flag. The driver 
  answers DEV_NOT_THERE to INQUIRYs for LUNs that are not to be scanned.
  Switch the driver status for SPI2 support to BETA-RELEASE.

* SYM-0.7.0-19991006  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.7.0-19991006)
  Add support of the LSI1510D that emulates a 895 (infos sent by Compaq 
  that seems to be the only supplier of this chip)
  Return CAM_REQ_ABORTED on HS_ABORT host status.
  Fix a tiny bug that let the driver miss the TAG setting.

* SYM-0.8.0-19991016  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.8.0-19991016)
  Heavy rewrite/rewamping of the error handling code in order to conform 
  to FreeBSD-CAM expectation of commands having to be requeued and device 
  queue to be frozen on any kind of error. Driver status switched back 
  to EXPERIMENTAL due to these changes.
  Warn user about targets that are not flagged for SCAN AT BOOT in the 
  NVRAM, since the driver will not allow the corresponding devices to be 
  discovered by XPT.
  And numerous minor changes.

* SYM-0.9.0-19991024  (Tar file SYM-0.9.0-19991024.tar.gz)
  Add support for previous PCI BUS stuff, for the driver to be useable 
  under FreeBSD 3.X RELEASES. The source is #ifdefed for using the old 
  PCI BUS code under __FreeBSD_version < 400000 and the new one otherwise.
  Tested under RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE, but should also be just fine for 3.3.
  Other changes against version 0.8.0 are only minor buglet fixes.

* SYM-0.10.0-19991111  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.10.0-19991111)
  Add support for Alpha - UNTESTED. Consists in some minor changes picked 
  mostly from the ncr driver and some others as ahc_pci.c.
  Fix the LED support through GPIO0 for pre-896 chips. In fact some code 
  was wrongly conditionned by something that was never met.
  Switch driver status to BETA-RELEASE given that this driver has been rock 
  solid even if a small number of users seems to actually use it.

* SYM-0.11.0-19991120  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.11.0-19991120)
  Rearrange a bit the initialisation code that deals with IO registers.
  Fix a bug in MODIFY_DP/IGN_RESIDUE handling (May-be this code will 
  never be used).
  Fix a tiny problem in Wide nego. The driver didn't start the Sync nego 
  after a Wide nego if synchronous parameters weren't also changed.
  Apply fixes that should allow to successfully link the kernel on Alpha.
  LSI53C1010 tested with Asynchronous, FAST5, FAST10, FAST20 and FAST40 
  data transfers.

* SYM-0.12.0-19991127  (diff file PATCH-SYM-0.12.0-19991127)
  Some testing in Ultra3 FAST-80 DT mode using a SYM53C1010 connected 
  to an ATLAS 4 Ultra3 disk. Required some tiny fix in the ppr nego code.
  Some cosmetic changes in messages displayed under DEBUG.
  Fix the chip table (and code) that made the driver wrongly attach 
  810 and 825 devices.
