This fixes bad looking refresh when switching window: squares instead
of text, flashing screen, and so on. In the worst case, vt_flush() came
at a very inappropriate timing and the screen was not refreshed at all
(leaving squares all over the place).
This doesn't fix the flickering of the screen with vt_vga, because the
sync signal is temporarily stopped and the video memory is cleared.

Like r270273, this has no effect for now, because the cursor is always
drawn. This is in preparation of future changes to vd_bitbltchr_t API.
MFC after: 1 week
Currently, this has no effect, because the cursor is always redrawn
anyway. But this will be useful after improvements to the vd_bitbltchr_t
callback API.
The vt_device structure members used to store the position of the cursor
as of the last redraw are renamed from vd_mdirty{x,y} to vd_mold{x,y}.
The associated comment is fixed too. Also, their value is now expressed
in pixels, not in character columns/row.

This avoids unnecessary redraw. In particular, during boot, where the
cursor is disabled and its fake position is [0;0], this triggered a
refresh of the whole screen each time vt_flush() is called.

Before the global flag was set/unset using the CONS_MOUSECTL ioctl, and
the per-window flag through the MOUSE_SETLEVEL or MOUSE_SETMODE ioctls.
Also, if the cursor is already enabled/disabled, return immediatly. This
avoids to reset the cursor's position to the center of the screen.
This matches syscons' behavior.
While here, remove a trailing space and a redundant variable
declaration.
Rename vt_generate_vga_palette() to vt_generate_cons_palette() and
change it to build a palette where the color index is the same than in
terminal escape codes, not the VGA index. That's what TCHAR_CREATE()
uses and passes to vt(4).
The main differences between both orders are:
o Blue and red are swapped (1 <-> 4)
o Yellow and cyan are swapped (3 <-> 6)
The problem remained unnoticed, because the RGB bit indexes passed to
vt_generate_vga_palette() were reversed. This inversion was cancelled
by the colors inversions in the generated palette. For instance, red
(0xff0000) and blue (0x0000ff) have bytes in opposite order, but were
swapped in the palette. But after changing the value of blue (see last
paragraph), the modified color was in fact the red one.
This commit includes a fix to creator_vt.c, submitted by Nathan
Whitehorn: fb_cmsize is set to 16. Before this, the generated palette
would be overwritte. This fixes colors on sparc64 with a Creator3D
adapter.
While here, tune the palette to better match console colors and improve
the readability (especially the dark blue).

In several functions, vtbuf_putchar() in particular, the lock on vtbuf
is acquired twice:
1. once by the said functions;
2. once in vtbuf_dirty().
Now, vtbuf_dirty_locked() and vtbuf_dirty_cell_locked() allow to
acquire that lock only once.
This improves the input speed of vt(4). To measure the gain, a
50,000-lines file was displayed on the console using cat(1). The time
taken by cat(1) is reported below:
o On amd64, with vt_vga:
- before: 1.0"
- after: 0.5"
o On sparc64, with creator_vt:
- before: 13.6"
- after: 10.5"

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

implement options TERMINAL_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR. These are aliased to
SC_{KERNEL_CONS,NORM}_ATTR and like these latter, allow to change the
default colors of normal and kernel text respectively.
Note on the naming: Although affecting the output of vt(4), technically
kern/subr_terminal.c is primarily concerned with changing default colors
so it would be inconsistent to term these options VT_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR.
Actually, if the architecture and abstraction of terminal+teken+vt would
be perfect, dev/vt/* wouldn't be touched by this commit at all.

With this change and previous work from ray@ it will be possible to put
both in GENERIC, and have one enabled by default, but allow the other to
be selected via the loader.
(The previous implementation had separate kern.vt.disable and
hw.syscons.disable tunables, and would panic if both drivers were

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

If a vt(4) font does not exactly fit the screen dimensions, the console
window is offset so that it is centered. A rectangle is drawn at the
top, left, right, and bottom of the screen, to erase any leftovers that
are outside of the new usable console area.
If the x offset or y offset is 0 then the left border or top border
respectively is not drawn. The right and bottom borders may be one
pixel larger than necessary due to rounding, and are always drawn.
Prior to this change a 0 offset would result in a panic when calling
vt_drawrect with an x or y coordinate of -1.

vt_grow may be called with a new size that's larger than previous but
does not require reallocation - for example, when the number of columns
is the same and new number of rows is less than the history size.
Prior to this change we would fail to update vb_scr_size, and then hit
a KASSERT when trying to write to the newly visible rows.
