jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator
interface and operation.

zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of
the zero copy send and receive code, and what an
application author should do to take advantage of the
zero copy functionality.

NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS,
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT.

conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c.

conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above.

kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes
"disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to
a user process, and then recycles the user's page.
This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on
and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is
set to 1.

uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written
by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it
kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write
mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network
stack.

uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.

uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are
enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on.

Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get
mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if
they meet size and alignment restrictions.

uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they
can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c)

if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid
calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if
the M_NOWAIT malloc fails.

The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call
this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings
for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the
system. (I've only verified for ti(4)).

ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains
a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers.
This allows the receiver to potentially do page
flipping on receives.

if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If
TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the
jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers.

Add a new character device interface for the ti(4)
driver for the new debugging interface. This allows
(a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board
and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional
debugging ioctls available through this interface.

Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver.

Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing
parameters to more useful defaults.

Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but
leave it turned off with a comment describing why it
is turned off.

if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really
at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13.

Add defines needed for debugging.

Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in
sys/tiio.h.

ti_fw.h: 12.4.11 firmware.

ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13,
and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13
doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This
firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously,
with the addition of header splitting support.)

sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface.

sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to
indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away /
flipped to a userland process.

socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup.

tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4)
driver, plus associated structure/type definitions.

uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know
whether the source page is disposable.

ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().

vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.

vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.

This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)

vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.

vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().

vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault
routines.

vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in
the vm_page structure.

Many thanks to Drew Gallatin, who wrote the zero copy send and receive
code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code
over the years.

Change and clean the mutex lock interface.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

Replace the mbuf external reference counting code with something
that should be better.

The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.

NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.

The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.

Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.

The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.

The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

On FreeBSD/i386, when you use the SYS_RES_MEMORY resource to allocate
a PCI memory mapped region, rman_get_bushandle() returns what happens
to be a kernel virtual address pointing to the base of the PCI shared
memory window. However this is not the behavior on all platforms:
the only thing you should do with the bushandle is pass it to the
bus_spare_read()/bus_space_write() routines. If you actually do want
the kernel virtual address of the base of the PCI memory window, you
need to use rman_get_virtual().

The problem is that at the moment, rman_get_virtual() returns a physical
address, which is bad. In order to get the kernel virtual address we
need, we have to play with it a little.

Presumeably this behavior will be changed, but in the meantime the
Tigon driver won't work. So for the moment, I'm adding a kludge to
make things happy on the alpha: the correct kernel virtual address
is calculated from the value returned by rman_get_virtual(). This
should be removed once rman_get_virtual() starts doing the right
thing.

This should make the Tigon actuall work on the alpha now.

Clean up the buffer allocation code a bit. Make sure to initialize certain
critical mbuf fields to sane values. Simplify the use of ETHER_ALIGN to
enforce payload alignment, and turn it on on the x86 as well as alpha
since it helps with NFS which wants the payload to be longword aligned
even though the hardware doesn't require it.

This fixes a problem with the ti driver causing an unaligned access trap
on the Alpha due to m_adj() sometimes not setting the alignment correctly
because of incomplete mbuf initialization.
