This bug has been bugging me for quite some time. I finally sat down
with enough coffee to figure it out.
The short of it - rounding up to the next intval multiple of the TSF value
only works if the AP is transmitting all its beacons on an interval of
the TSF. If it isn't - for example, doing staggered beacons on a multi-VAP
setup with a single hardware TSF - then weird things occur.
The long of it -
When powersave is enabled, the MAC and PHY are partially powered off.
They can't receive any packets (or transmit, for that matter.)
The target beacon timer programming will wake up the MAC/PHY just before
the beacon is supposed to be received (well, strictly speaking, at DTIM
so it can see the TIM - traffic information map - telling the STA whether
any traffic is there for it) and it happens automatically.
However, this relies on the target beacon time being programmed correctly.
If it isn't then the hardware will wake up and not hear any beacons -
and then it'll be asleep for said beacons. After enough of this, net80211
will give up and assume the AP went away.
This should fix both TSFOOR interrupts and disconnects from APs with powersave
enabled.
The annoying bit is that it only happens if APs stagger things or start
on a non-zero TSF. So, this would sometimes be fine and sometimes not be
fine.
What:
* I don't know (yet) why the code rounds up to the next intval.
For now, just disable rounding it and trust the value we get.
TODO:
* If we do see a beacon miss in STA mode then we should transition
out of sleep for a while so we can hear beacons to resync against.
I'd love a patch from someone to enable that particular behaviour.
Note - that doesn't require that net80211 brings the chip out of
sleep state - only that we wake the chip up through to full-on and
then let it go to sleep again when we've seen a beacon. The wifi
stack and AP can still completely just stay believing we're in sleep
mode.
Tested:
* AR9485, STA mode, powersave enabled

- Set IEEE80211_FEXT_SCAN_OFFLOAD flag; firmware can send null data
frames when associated.
- Check IEEE80211_SCAN_ACTIVE scan flag instead of IEEE80211_F_ASCAN
ic flag; the last is never set since r170530.
- Eliminate software scan (net80211) <-> site_survey (driver) race:
* override ic_scan_curchan and ic_scan_mindwell pointers so net80211
will not try to finish scanning automatically;
* inform net80211 about current status via ieee80211_cancel_scan()
and ieee80211_scan_done();
* remove corresponding workaround from rsu_join_bss().
Now the driver can associate to an AP with hidden SSID.
Tested with Asus USB-N10.
the vnode is inactivated. This contradicts with the nullfs caching
which keeps upper vnode around, as consequence keeping the use
reference to lower vnode.
Add a filesystem flag to request nullfs to not cache when mounted over
that filesystem, and set the flag for nfs v4 mounts.

- Defined an abstract NVRAM I/O API (bhnd_nvram_io), decoupling NVRAM/SPROM
parsing from the actual underlying NVRAM data provider (e.g. CFE firmware
devices).
- Defined an abstract NVRAM data API (bhnd_nvram_data), decoupling
higher-level NVRAM operations (indexed lookup, data conversion, etc) from
the underlying NVRAM file format parsing/serialization.
- Implemented a new high-level bhnd_nvram_store API, providing indexed
variable lookup, pending write tracking, etc on top of an arbitrary
bhnd_nvram_data instance.
- Migrated all bhnd(4) NVRAM device drivers to the common bhnd_nvram_store
API.
- Implemented a common bhnd_nvram_val API for parsing/encoding NVRAM
variable values, including applying format-specific behavior when
converting to/from the NVRAM string representations.
- Dropped the now unnecessary bhnd_nvram driver, and moved the
broadcom/mips-specific CFE NVRAM driver out into sys/mips/broadcom.
- Implemented a new nvram_map file format:
- Variable definitions are now defined separately from the SPROM
layout. This will also allow us to define CIS tuple NVRAM
mappings referencing the common NVRAM variable definitions.
- Variables can now be defined within arbitrary named groups.
- Textual descriptions and help information can be defined inline
for both variables and variable groups.
- Implemented a new, compact encoding of SPROM image layout
offsets.
- Source-level (but not build system) support for building the NVRAM file
format APIs (bhnd_nvram_io, bhnd_nvram_data, bhnd_nvram_store) as a
userspace library.
The new compact SPROM image layout encoding is loosely modeled on Apple
dyld compressed LINKEDIT symbol binding opcodes; it provides a compact
state-machine encoding of the mapping between NVRAM variables and the SPROM
image offset, mask, and shift instructions necessary to decode or encode
the SPROM variable data.
The compact encoding reduces the size of the generated SPROM layout data
from roughly 60KB to 3KB. The sequential nature SPROM layout opcode tables
also simplify iteration of the SPROM variables, as it's no longer
neccessary to iterate the full NVRAM variable definition table, but
instead simply scan the SPROM revision's layout opcode table.

As of r234483, vnode deactivation causes non-VPO_NOSYNC pages to be
laundered. This behaviour has two problems:
1. Dirty VPO_NOSYNC pages must be laundered before the vnode can be
reclaimed, and this work may be unfairly deferred to the vnlru process
or an unrelated application when the system is under vnode pressure.
2. Deactivation of a vnode with dirty VPO_NOSYNC pages requires a scan of
the corresponding VM object's memq for non-VPO_NOSYNC dirty pages; if
the laundry thread needs to launder pages from an unreferenced such
vnode, it will reactivate and deactivate the vnode with each laundering,
potentially resulting in a large number of expensive scans.
Therefore, ensure that all dirty pages are laundered upon deactivation,
i.e., when all maps of the vnode are removed and all references are
released.

(APIC-Timer-always-running) is not implemented.
If machine has ncpus >= 8 and non-FSB interrupt routing from HPET,
default HPET eventtimer quality 450 is reduced by 100, i.e. it is
350. On the other hand, LAPIC default quality is 600 and it is reduced
by 200 if ARAT is not reported. We end up with HPET quality 350 <
LAPIC quality 400, despite ARAT is not set. Then, since deep Cx
states are active by default, eventtimer fail.
E.g., on Nehalem Core i7 CPU and X58 chipset, LAPIC only works in
C0/C1/C1E and HPET does not implement FSB mode, which otherwise
requires manual switch to HPET to get working system.
Set LAPIC eventtimer quality to 100 if no ARAT.
While there, do not ignore deadlint TSC mode for LAPIC timer if ARAT
is not implemented. If user manually selected LAPIC eventtimer on
such CPU, there is no reason to not use deadline if available and not
disabled administratively.

MAXPAGESIZE is not well defined by the GNU ld documentation.
Different linkers, and different versions of the same linker, use
different MAXPAGESIZE values. Current versions of GNU gold and LLVM's
lld use 4K. When set to 4K the kernel panics at boot due to an issue

Here we want the kernel physaddr to be the amd64 superpage size, so use
that value (2MB) explicitly. With this change GNU gold and LLVM lld can

[PowerPC] Refactor soft-float support, and enable PPC64 soft float
This change enables soft-float for PowerPC64, and also makes
soft-float disable all vector instruction sets for both 32-bit and
64-bit modes. This latter part is necessary because the PPC backend
canonicalizes many Altivec vector types to floating-point types, and
so soft-float breaks scalarization support for many operations. Both
for embedded targets and for operating-system kernels desiring
soft-float support, it seems reasonable that disabling hardware
floating-point also disables vector instructions (embedded targets
without hardware floating point support are unlikely to have Altivec,
etc. and operating system kernels desiring not to use floating-point
registers to lower syscall cost are unlikely to want to use vector
registers either). If someone needs this to work, we'll need to
change the fact that we promote many Altivec operations to act on
v4f32. To make it possible to disable Altivec when soft-float is
enabled, hardware floating-point support needs to be expressed as a
positive feature, like the others, and not a negative feature,
because target features cannot have dependencies on the disabling of
some other feature. So +soft-float has now become -hard-float.
Fixes PR26970.
Pull in r283061 from upstream clang trunk (by Hal Finkel):
[PowerPC] Enable soft-float for PPC64, and +soft-float -> -hard-float
Enable soft-float support on PPC64, as the backend now supports it.
Also, the backend now uses -hard-float instead of +soft-float, so set
the target features accordingly.

The callout subsystem already handles early callouts and schedules
the first clock interrupt appropriately based on the currently pending
callouts. The one nit to fix was that callouts scheduled via C_HARDCLOCK
during early boot could fire too early once timers were enabled as the
per-CPU base time is always zero until timers are initialized. The change
in callout_when() handles this case by using the current uptime as the
base time of the callout during bootup if the per-CPU base time is zero.

with large replay windows, the algorithm used here is based on
RFC 6479: IPsec Anti-Replay Algorithm without Bit Shifting.
The replay window will be fast to be updated, but will cost as many bits
in RAM as its size.
The previous implementation did not provide a lock on the replay window,
which may lead to replay issues.
