The original intention was to put devskel in to the
kernel to detach what it provides from devsrv.
That is not a good reason, just move it to userspace.
auth/box has been changed to exec skelfs instead
of relying on '#z'.
do all the magic dwc3 specific initalization as well
as reset the hub and power on the phys.
with this, "usb start" command is not needed anymore
from u-boot.
We don't need to multiply session path by 2, the definition
for NETQID is:
Meaning we don't need to save room between session paths
for individual Qid paths. This doubles the amount of
pipe sessions we can have before a wrap.
This code is checking the return of devwalk for
a walk resulting in a clone of an open pipe file. However,
devclone ensures that the chan we are cloning is not
currently open.
This is mostly a copy of port/usbxhci.c with PCIWADDR() replaced
by PADDR() and the pci specific code stripped out.
This could be refactored at a later time.
There is a gpio line for the main hub reset that needs to be
asserted and some power management functions that are currently
done by u-boot (using "usb start" command).
We will do these ourselfs once we have the infrastructure for
it in place.
This is a work in progress port to the mntreform2 laptop.
Working so far:
- mmu (same as raspberry pi 3b+)
- arm generic timer
- gicv3
- uart1
- enet
With access to the uart, one can netboot this kernel in u-boot
using the following commands:
> dhcp
> bootm
devproc allows changing the noteid of another process
which opens a race condition in sysrfork(), when deciding
to inherit the noteid of "up" to the child and calling
pidalloc() later to take the reference, the noteid could
have been changed and the childs noteid could have been
freed already in the process.
this bug can only happen when one writes the /proc/n/noteid
file of a another process than your own that is in the
process of forking.
the noteid changing functionality of devproc seems questinable
and seems to be only used by ape's setpgrid() implementation.
Avoid calling sdgetdev() for every I/O. Instead,
put the SDunit pointer for #S/sdXX/* files in Chan.aux
and keep a reference to SDev between sdopen()/sdclose().
This avoids having to do the sdindex() lookup and
qlock(),incref(),decref() on every read/write
operation. Removal of SDev's is quite rare and only
can happen with pcmcia ide controllers, and i assume
that for that we can assume thet fileservers having
been exited properly and closed their files before
we attempt to remove a device.
The rest is improving waserror() codepaths, making
sure we release the locks for any of the interface
callbacks (verify/online).
Also get rid of tas() and instead only change the
unit's rawopen flag while holding raw qlock.
pci uarts are detected late and usually do not contain
the console= parameter logic.
for these, we can just enable them when devuart is reset,
and replay the boot messages once enabled.
this is usefull as it allows us to use these uarts for
kernel debugging in interrupt context.
This avoids ipconfig having to explicitely specify the tag
when we want to set route type, as the tag can be provided
implicitely thru the "tag" command.
This adds a new route "t"-flag that enables network address translation,
replacing the source address (and local port) of a forwarded packet to
one of the outgoing interface.
The state for a translation is kept in a new Translation structure,
which contains two Iphash entries, so it can be inserted into the
per protocol 4-tuple hash table, requiering no extra lookups.
Translations have a low overhead (~200 bytes on amd64),
so we can have many of them. They get reused after 5 minutes
of inactivity or when the per protocol limit of 1000 entries
is reached (then the one with longest inactivity is reused).
The protocol needs to export a "forward" function that is responsible
for modifying the forwarded packet, and then handle translations in
its input function for iphash hits with Iphash.trans != 0.
This patch also fixes a few minor things found during development:
- Include the Iphash in the Conv structure, avoiding estra malloc
- Fix ttl exceeded check (ttl < 1 -> ttl <= 1)
- Router should not reply with ttl exceeded for multicast flows
- Extra checks for icmp advice to avoid protocol confusions.
Use an RWlock so readers can work in parallel in
the common case (no cache updates).
When a reader needs to update the cache to add
a new learned source mac address, it will drop
the rlock and aquire the wlock to do the update.
When we get a read error, we now unbind the
port to avoid further packets being forwarded
to it.
This is usefull for hotplug ethernet devices
like usb ones or tunnels.
Simplify the unbind, getting rid of the refcount,
by having only the reader proc call freeport().
Avoid holding the bridge lock while opening
and closing ethernet/tunnel device files during
bind and unbind.
Dont use smalloc() (especially when holding locks).
Allocate bridges dynamically, so we do not waste
the memory when we do not need them.
Reject non-hostowner from allocating new bridges.
Use consistent naming: port -> port
Use consistent comment style: // -> /* */
Wlock()'ing the ifc causes a deadlock with Medium
bind/unbind as the routine can walk /net, while
ndb/dns or ndb/cs are currently blocked enumerating
/net/ipifc/*.
The fix is to have a fake medium, called "unbound",
that is set temporarily during the call of Medium
bind and unbind.
That way, the interface rwlock can be released while
bind/unbind is in progress.
The ipifcunbind() routine will refuse to unbind a
ifc that is currently assigned to the "unbound"
medium, preventing any accidents.

some more thoughts on this, i think as 0x15*2 is not multiple
of 8, fw rounds the offset to 0x14*2. i have touched to code
to read data from 0x14*2 then ignore the first 2 bytes, just
so it's not confusing. if this causes mac to be read wrong again,
report.
also, some more changes:
1. set the fwname at iwlpci, just to align the behavior with 8000+.
this is a cosmetic change.
2. i have discovered that on device boot/reset/shutdown functions,
our driver slept way much more than it should. the reason for that is,
driver used the function delay() on places where it needs to use
microdelay() instead. i have modified the code to use microdelay().
wpi likely needs similar changes too. i hope that this does not
break the code.
3. zzz a bit more on tx/rx scheduler shutdowns and niclock.
4. openbsd's iwm and linux apparently does not check if ownership
was obtained anymore in their handover functions. instead they
just loop until the hw is ready. aligned the behavior.
see linux commit: 289e5501c3141191dd830957f1d764d3dc14a54f
5. don't take antenna masks from nvm. it's apparently empty
in some cards from 7k family. we will rely on what the fw file gives
us.
6. when the calibration is completed, wakeup the proc that runs
postboot. otherwise that thing sleeps for like 2 whole seconds
even if calibration completed earlier.
i honestly don't think any of these changes will fix 7260 not
being able to get calibration results, but i don't see anything
wrong at all in postboot7000 at this point. i will just hope
these changes somehow make it get calibration results.
