# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 214680 02-Nov-2010 ed

Add a new libc function: cfmakesane(3).

I've noticed various terminal emulators that need to obtain a sane
default termios structure use very complex `hacks'. Even though POSIX
doesn't provide any functionality for this, extend our termios API with
cfmakesane(3), which is similar to the commonly supported cfmakeraw(3),
except that it fills the termios structure with sane defaults.

Change all code in our base system to use this function, instead of
depending on <sys/ttydefaults.h> to provide TTYDEF_*.


# 203964 16-Feb-2010 imp

# 199898 28-Nov-2009 ed

Decompose <sys/termios.h>.

The <sys/termios.h> header file is hardlinked to <termios.h>. It
contains both the structures and the flag definitions, but also the C
library interface that's implemented by the C library.

This header file has the typical problem of including too many random
things and being badly ordered. Instead of trying to fix this, decompose
it into two header files:

- <sys/_termios.h>, which contains struct termios and the flags.
- <termios.h>, which includes <sys/_termios.h> and contains the C
library interface.

This means userspace has to include <termios.h> for struct termios,
while kernelspace code has to include <sys/tty.h>. Also add a
<sys/termios.h>, which prints a warning message before including
<termios.h>. I am aware that there are some applications that use this
header file as well.


# 191882 07-May-2009 ed

Add tcsetsid(3).

The entire world seems to use the non-standard TIOCSCTTY ioctl to make a
TTY a controlling terminal of a session. Even though tcsetsid(3) is also
non-standard, I think it's a lot better to use in our own source code,
mainly because it's similar to tcsetpgrp(), tcgetpgrp() and tcgetsid().

I stole the idea from QNX. They do it the other way around; their
TIOCSCTTY is just a wrapper around tcsetsid(). tcsetsid() then calls
into an IPC framework.


# 189813 14-Mar-2009 das

Use namespace visibility macros instead of checking for _POSIX_SOURCE.


# 185233 23-Nov-2008 dwmalone

Make the new CCEQ macro a little more like the old one - first do
the comparison between c and val and then compare val to _POSIX_VDISABLE.
This avoids comparing c (which is usually of type char) to
_POSIX_VDISABLE (which has value 0xff and may not be representable
as a char).

Small style(9) nit in <sys/termios.h>.

There are a lot of places where we do "#define<space>" instead of
"#define<tab>". Clean this up a little.


# 181905 20-Aug-2008 ed

Integrate the new MPSAFE TTY layer to the FreeBSD operating system.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:

- Improved driver model:

The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.

If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.

- Improved hotplugging:

With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).

The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.

- Improved performance:

One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.

Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

# 180561 16-Jul-2008 ed

Move the TCSA* definitions out of _KERNEL. They are processed in libc.

The tcsetattr() routine already converts the TCSA* arguments to their
respective TIOCSETA* ioctl's in the C library. There is no need to have
these definitions inside the kernel.

# 55205 29-Dec-1999 peter

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.

# 35755 05-May-1998 jb

Change a couple of long types to int to match NetBSD so that termios
works on alpha without any modifications.


# 34522 12-Mar-1998 bde

Changed speed_t from long to unsigned long. POSIX.1 requires an
unsigned integral type. Changing it doesn't seem to cause any
sign extension bugs in /usr/src. In the kernel, this is partly
because `struct speedtab' and its lookup function are too bogus
to use speed_t's for speeds - they use ints.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

# 8187 30-Apr-1995 bde

Define CDTR_IFLOW and CDSR_OFLOW which are now required for compiling
bin/stty. Define alias CCAR_OFLOW for MDMBUF.

Declare speeds as having type speed_t instead of long. speed_t is
long, which is wrong (POSIX specifies it to be unsigned integral),
but fixing it might introduce more serious bugs.
