# 267393 12-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 260239,261268,265058:
Expand the support for PCI INTx interrupts including providing interrupt
routing information for INTx interrupts to I/O APIC pins and enabling
INTx interrupts in the virtio and AHCI backends.


# 267341 10-Jun-2014 jhb

MFC 261217:
Remove support for legacy PCI devices. These haven't been needed since
support for LPC uart devices was added and it conflicts with upcoming
patches to add PCI INTx support.

# 257396 30-Oct-2013 neel

MFC r257293.

Add support for PCI-to-ISA LPC bridge emulation. If the LPC bus is attached
to a virtual machine then we implicitly create COM1 and COM2 ISA devices.

Prior to this change the only way of attaching a COM port to the virtual
machine was by presenting it as a PCI device that is mapped at the legacy
I/O address 0x3F8 or 0x2F8.

There were some issues with the original approach:
- It did not work at all with UEFI because UEFI will reprogram the PCI device
BARs and remap the COM1/COM2 ports at non-legacy addresses.
- OpenBSD GENERIC kernel does not create a /dev/console because it expects
the uart device at the legacy 0x3F8/0x2F8 address to be an ISA device.
- It was functional with a FreeBSD guest but caused the console to appear
on /dev/ttyu2 which was not intuitive.

The uart emulation is now independent of the bus on which it resides. Thus it
is possible to have uart devices on the PCI bus in addition to the legacy
COM1/COM2 devices behind the LPC bus.

The command line option to attach ISA COM1/COM2 ports to a virtual machine is
"-s <bus>,lpc -l com1,stdio".

The command line option to create a PCI-attached uart device is:
"-s <bus>,uart[,stdio]"

The command line option to create PCI-attached COM1/COM2 device is:
"-S <bus>,uart[,stdio]". This style of creating COM ports is deprecated.

Merge projects/bhyve to head.

'bhyve' was developed by grehan@ and myself at NetApp (thanks!).

Special thanks to Peter Snyder, Joe Caradonna and Michael Dexter for their
support and encouragement.

# 245127 07-Jan-2013 grehan

Don't completely drain the read file descriptor. Instead, only
fill up to the uart's rx fifo size, and leave any remaining input
for when the rx fifo is read. This allows cut'n'paste of long lines
to be done into the bhyve console without truncation.

Also, introduce a mutex since the file input will run in the mevent
thread context and may corrupt state accessed by a vCPU thread.

# 244167 13-Dec-2012 grehan

Rename fbsdrun.* -> bhyverun.*

bhyve is intended to be a generic hypervisor, and not FreeBSD-specific.

(renaming internal routines will come later)

# 241744 19-Oct-2012 grehan

Rework how guest MMIO regions are dealt with.

- New memory region interface. An RB tree holds the regions,
with a last-found per-vCPU cache to deal with the common case
of repeated guest accesses to MMIO registers in the same page.

- Support memory-mapped BARs in PCI emulation.

mem.c/h - memory region interface

instruction_emul.c/h - remove old region interface.
Use gpa from EPT exit to avoid a tablewalk to
determine operand address. Determine operand size
and use when calling through to region handler.

fbsdrun.c - call into region interface on paging
exit. Distinguish between instruction emul error
and region not found

pci_emul.c/h - implement new BAR callback api.
Split BAR alloc routine into routines that
require/don't require the BAR phys address.

ioapic.c
pci_passthru.c
pci_virtio_block.c
pci_virtio_net.c
pci_uart.c - update to new BAR callback i/f

# 239028 04-Aug-2012 neel

Check that 'opts' is actually not NULL before dereferencing it. It is expected
that 'opts' will be NULL for the second serial port (-S <slot>,uart)


# 234938 03-May-2012 grehan

Add 16550 uart emulation as a PCI device. This allows it to
be activated as part of the slot config options.
The syntax is:

-s <slotnum>,uart[,stdio]

The stdio parameter instructs the code to perform i/o using
stdin/stdout. It can only be used for one instance.
To allow legacy i/o ports/irqs to be used, a new variant of
the slot command, -S, is introduced. When used to specify a
slot, the device will use legacy resources if it supports
them; otherwise it will be treated the same as the '-s' option.
Specifying the -S option with the uart will first use the 0x3f8/irq 4
config, and the second -S will use 0x2F8/irq 3.

Interrupt delivery is awaiting the arrival of the i/o apic code,
but this works fine in uart(4)'s polled mode.

This code was written by Cynthia Lu @ MIT while an intern at NetApp,
with further work from neel@ and grehan@.
