* Add 'devctl delete' that calls device_delete_child().jhb2016-04-271-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 'devctl delete' can be used to delete a device that is no longer present. As an anti-foot-shooting measure, 'delete' will not delete a device unless it's parent bus says it is no longer present. This can be overridden by passing the force ('-f') flag. Note that this command should be used with care. If a device is deleted that is actually present it can't be resurrected unless the parent bus device's driver supports rescans.

* Add a new rescan method to the bus interface.jhb2016-04-271-0/+7
| | | | | | | | The BUS_RESCAN() method rescans a single bus device checking for devices that have been added or removed from the bus. A new 'rescan' command is added to devctl(8) to trigger a rescan. Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6016
* Add a new device control utility for new-bus devices called devctl. Thisjhb2015-02-061-0/+124
allows the user to request administrative changes to individual devices such as attach or detaching drivers or disabling and re-enabling devices. - Add a new /dev/devctl2 character device which uses ioctls for device requests. The ioctls use a common 'struct devreq' which is somewhat similar to 'struct ifreq'. - The ioctls identify the device to operate on via a string. This string can either by the device's name, or it can be a bus-specific address. (For unattached devices, a bus address is the only way to locate a device.) Bus drivers register an eventhandler to claim unrecognized device names that the driver recognizes as a valid address. Two buses currently support addresses: ACPI recognizes any device in the ACPI namespace via its full path starting with "\" and the PCI bus driver recognizes an address specification of 'pci[<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>:<func>' (identical to the PCI selector strings supported by pciconf). - To make it easier to cut and paste, change the PnP location string in the PCI bus driver to output a full PCI selector string rather than 'slot=<slot> function=<func>'. - Add a devctl(3) interface in libdevctl which provides a wrapper around the ioctls and is the preferred interface for other userland code. - Add a devctl(8) program which is a simple wrapper around the requests supported by devctl(3). - Add a device_is_suspended() function to check DF_SUSPENDED. - Add a resource_unset_value() function that can be used to remove a hint from the kernel environment. This is used to clear a hint.<driver>.<unit>.disabled hint when re-enabling a boot-time disabled device. Reviewed by: imp (parts) Requested by: imp (changing PCI location string) Relnotes: yes
