Refine r204265. We want the standard VGA palette for packed pixel mode.


# 204281 24-Feb-2010 jkim

Improve VESA mode switching via loader tunable `hint.sc.0.vesa_mode'.
The most notable change is history buffer is fully saved/restored now.


# 204265 23-Feb-2010 jkim

Yet another attempt to make palette loading more safer:

- Add a separate palette data for 8-bit DAC mode when SC_PIXEL_MODE is set
and fill it up with default gray-scale palette data for text. Now we don't
have to set `hint.sc.0.vesa_mode' to get the default palette data.
- Add a new adapter flag, V_ADP_DAC8 to track whether the controller is
using 8-bit palette format and load correct palette when switching modes.
- Set 8-bit DAC mode only for non-VGA compatible graphics mode.

# 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.

# 174985 29-Dec-2007 wkoszek

Replace explicit calls to video methods with their respective variants
implemented with macros. This patch improves code readability. Reasoning
behind vidd_* is a sort of "video discipline".

List of macros is supposed to be complete--all methods of video_switch
ought to have their respective macros from now on.

Functionally, this code should be no-op. My intention is to leave current
behaviour of touched code as is.

# 162711 27-Sep-2006 ru

Fix our ioctl(2) implementation when the argument is "int". New
ioctls passing integer arguments should use the _IOWINT() macro.
This fixes a lot of ioctl's not working on sparc64, most notable
being keyboard/syscons ioctls.

Full ABI compatibility is provided, with the bonus of fixing the
handling of old ioctls on sparc64.

# 150686 28-Sep-2005 marius

Add a font width argument to vi_load_font_t, vi_save_font_t and vi_putm_t
and do some preparations for handling 12x22 fonts (currently lots of code
implies and/or hardcodes a font width of 8 pixels). This will be required
on sparc64 which uses a default font size of 12x22 in order to add font
loading and saving support as well as to use a syscons(4)-supplied mouse
pointer image.
This API breakage is committed now so it can be MFC'ed in time for 6.0
and later on upcoming framebuffer drivers destined for use on sparc64
and which are expected to rely on using font loading internally and on
a syscons(4)-supplied mouse pointer image can be easily MFC'ed to
RELENG_6 rather than requiring a backport.

# 146736 29-May-2005 delphij

Add VESA mode support for syscons, which enables the support of 15, 16,
24, and 32 bit modes. To use that, syscons(4) must be built with
the compile time option 'options SC_PIXEL_MODE', and VESA support (a.k.a.
vesa.ko) must be either loaded, or be compiled into the kernel.

Do not return EINVAL when the mouse state is changed to what it already is,
which seems to cause problems when you have two mice attached, and
applications are not likely obtain useful information through the EINVAL
caused by showing the mouse pointer twice.

Teach vidcontrol(8) about mode names like MODE_<NUMBER>, where <NUMBER> is
the video mode number from the vidcontrol -i mode output. Also, revert the
video mode if something fails.

# 91140 23-Feb-2002 tanimura

Lock struct pgrp, session and sigio.

New locks are:

- pgrpsess_lock which locks the whole pgrps and sessions,
- pg_mtx which protects the pgrp members, and
- s_mtx which protects the session members.

Please refer to sys/proc.h for the coverage of these locks.

Changes on the pgrp/session interface:

- pgfind() needs the pgrpsess_lock held.

- The caller of enterpgrp() is responsible to allocate a new pgrp and
session.

- Call enterthispgrp() in order to enter an existing pgrp.

- pgsignal() requires a pgrp lock held.

# 78161 13-Jun-2001 peter

With this commit, I hereby pronounce gensetdefs past its use-by date.

Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible. <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.

The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).

The macros declare a strongly typed set. They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.

For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>). Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.

For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.

NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated. This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.

The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.

linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

This is the 3rd stage of syscons code reorganization.

- Split terminal emulation code from the main part of the driver so
that we can have alternative terminal emulator modules if we like in
the future. (We are not quite there yet, though.)

- Put sysmouse related code in a separate file, thus, simplifying the
main part of the driver.

As some files are added to the source tree, you need to run config(8)
before you compile a new kernel next time.

You shouldn't see any functional change by this commit; this is only
internal code reorganization.

- Remove sc_get_scr_stat(). It's not necessary anymore.
- Call ttymalloc() to allocate the struct tty for each vty, rather than

allocated struct tty for the first vty which is used for the kernel
console I/O, though.
- Likewise, call ttymalloc() for /dev/sysmouse and /dev/consolectl.
- Delete unnecessary test on the pointer struct tty *tp in some functions.
- Delete unused code in scmouse.c.

- Reorganized the screen update routine.

- VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more

APM resume event directly.

- New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING,
SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE.
Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is
reduced.

SC_PIXEL_MODE

split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h
(another new file). machine/console.h is still maintained for
compatibility reasons.

- Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and
slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between
the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console

these numbers to real video mode numbers appropriate and available
with the given video hardware. I believe this will be useful to make
syscons more portable across archtectures.

The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will
be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.

vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be
either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given,
vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video
adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will
list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.
