* Retire most of the classful network behaviour of netstat -r output, for IPv4.Bruce M Simpson2007-02-141-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without -n, we now only print a "network name" without the prefix length under the following conditions: 1) the network address and mask matches a classful network prefix; 2) getnetbyaddr(3) returns a network name for this network address. With -n, we unconditionally print the full unabbreviated CIDR network prefix in the form "a.b.c.d/p". 0.0.0.0/0 is still printed as "default". This change is in preparation for changes such as equal-cost multipath, and to more generally assist operational deployment of FreeBSD as a modern IPv4 router. There are currently no plans to backport this change. Discussed on: freebsd-net Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=166711

* Welcome to Once-a-year Sound Mega-Commit. Enjoy numerous updates and fixesAriff Abdullah2006-11-261-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in every sense. General ------- - Multichannel safe, endian safe, format safe * Large part of critical pcm filters such as vchan.c, feeder_rate.c, feeder_volume.c, feeder_fmt.c and feeder.c has been rewritten so that using them does not cause the pcm data to be converted to 16bit little endian. * Macrosses for accessing pcm data safely are defined within sound.h in the form of PCM_READ_* / PCM_WRITE_* * Currently, most of them are probably limited for mono/stereo handling, but the future addition of true multichannel will be much easier. - Low latency operation * Well, this require lot more works to do not just within sound driver, but we're heading towards right direction. Buffer/block sizing within channel.c is rewritten to calculate precise allocation for various combination of sample/data/rate size. As a result, applying correct SNDCTL_DSP_POLICY value will achive expected latency behaviour simmilar to what commercial 4front driver do. * Signal handling fix. ctrl+c of "cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp" does not result long delay. * Eliminate sound truncation if the sound data is too small. DIY: 1) Download / extract http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/shortfiles.tar.gz 2) Do a comparison between "cat state*.au > /dev/dsp" and "for x in state*.au ; do cat $x > /dev/dsp ; done" - there should be no "perceivable" differences. Double close for PR kern/31445. CAVEAT: Low latency come with (unbearable) price especially for poorly written applications. Applications that trying to act smarter by requesting (wrong) blocksize/blockcount will suffer the most. Fixup samples/patches can be found at: http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/ports/ - Switch minimum/maximum sampling rate limit to "1" and "2016000" (48k * 42) due to closer compatibility with 4front driver. Discussed with: marcus@ (long time ago?) - All driver specific sysctls in the form of "hw.snd.pcm%d.*" have been moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, notably: hw.snd.pcm%d.vchans -> dev.pcm.%d.vchans Bump __FreeBSD_version. Driver specific --------------- - Ditto for sysctls. - snd_atiixp, snd_es137x, snd_via8233, snd_hda * Numerous cleanups and fixes. * _EXPERIMENTAL_ polling mode support using simple callout_* mechanisme. This was intended for pure debugging and latency measurement, but proven good enough in few unexpected and rare cases (such as problematic shared IRQ with GIANT devices - USB). Polling can be enabled/disabled through dev.pcm.0.polling. Disabled by default. - snd_ich * Fix possible overflow during speed calibration. Delay final initialization (pcm_setstatus) after calibration finished. PR: kern/100169 Tested by: Kevin Overman <oberman@es.net> * Inverted EAPD for few Nec VersaPro.

If the architecture has a system synchronized TSC, the profiling code will use that - thereby minimizing profiling overhead. Large chunks of profiling code have been moved out of line, the overhead measured on the T1 for when it is compiled in but not enabled is < 1%.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenBSD. This driver seems to give a small performance increase, and should lead to better maintainability in the future. The nForce Ethernet-specific hack in sys/i386/xbox/xbox.c is still required, judging from dev/nfe/if_nfe.c. The condition it hacks will almost certainly only occur on XBOX-es anyway, so it is best left there. Approved by: imp (mentor) Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=159997
