VGA hardware provides many different graphics and data access modes,
each with different capabilities and limitations.
VGA vt(4) graphics mode operates on blocks of pixels at a time. When a
given pixel block contains only two colours the vt_vga driver uses write
mode 3. When the block contains more than two colours it uses write
mode 0. This is done because two-colour write mode 3 is much more
efficient.
In practice write mode 3 is used most of the time, as there is often a
single foreground colour and single background colour across the entire
console. One common exception requiring the use of mode 0 is when the
mouse cursor is drawn over a background other than black, as we need
black and white for the cursor in addition to the background colour.
VGA's default 16-colour palette provides the same set of colours as the
system console, but in a different order. Previously we configured a
non-default VGA palette that had the same colours at the same indexes.
However, this caused anything drawn before the kernel started (drawn by
the loader, for instance) to change colours once the kernel configured
the new, non-default palette.
In 5e251aec86 we switched to leaving the default VGA palette in place,
translating console colour indexes to VGA colour indexes as necessary.
This translation was missed for the write mode 0 case for pixel blocks
with more than two colours.

I made a mistaking in merging the final commits for the devctl changes. This
adds the 'hushed' variable and has the correct dates for the manuals.
Pointy hat to: imp
386BSD provided a MD function sysbeep. This took two arguments (pitch
and period). Pitch was jammed into the PIT's divisor directly (which
means the argument was expected to sound a tone at '1193182 / pitch'
Hz). FreeBSD inherited this interface.
In commit e465985885 (svn 177642, Mar 26 2008), phk changed this
function to take a tone to sound in hz. He converted all in-tree
instances of 1193182 / hz to just hz (and kept the few misguided folks
that passed hz directly unchanged -- this was part of what motivated the
change). He converted the places where we pre-computed the 8254 divisor
from being pitch to 1193182 / pitch (since that converts the divisor to
the frequency and the interfaces that were exposed to userland exposed
it in these units in places, continuing the tradition inherited from SCO
System V/386 Unix in spots).
In 2009, Ed Shouten was contracted by the FreeBSD Foundation to write /
finish newcons. This work was done in perforce and was imported into
subversion in user/ed/newcons in revision 199072
(https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=199072) which
was later imported into FreeBSD by ray@ (Aleksandr Rybalko).
From that earliest import into svn import to this date, we ring the bell
with:
sysbeep(1193182 / VT_BELLPITCH, VT_BELLDURATION);
where VT_BELLPITCH was defined to be 800. This results in a bell
frequency of 1491Hz, more or less today. This is similar to the
frequency that syscons and pcvt used (1493Hz and 1500Hz respectively).
This in turn was inherited from 386BSD, it seems, which used the hard
coded value 0x31b which is 795 -> 1500Hz.
This '800' was intended to be the bell tone (eg 800Hz) and this
interface was one that wasn't converted. The most common terminal prior
to the rise of PCs was the VT100, which had an approximately 800Hz
bell. Ed Shouten has confirmed that the original intent was 800Hz and
changing this was overlooked after the change to -current was made.
This restors that original intent and makes the bell less obnoxious in
the process.

Add the glue needed to listen to TP_SETBELLPD which teken uses to
inform its client drivers about the results of parsing
\e[=<pitch>;<duration>B. It converts these to a Hz value for the
tone/pitch of the bell and a duration in ms. There's some loss of
precision because <pitch> in the escape seuquence is defined to be
(1193182 / pitch) Hz and <duration> is in 10ms units. Also note that
kbdcontrol also parses 'off' but then doesn't send the proper escape
sequence, leading me to wonder if that's another bug since teken
appears to parse that sequence properly and I've added code here to
treat that as the same as quiet or disabled.
In general, Hz from 100 to 2000 is good. Outside that range is possible,
but even at 100Hz the square wave is starting to sound bad and above
2000Hz the speaker may not respond.

When a break-to-debugger is triggered, kdb will grab the console and vt(4)
will generally switch back to ttyv0. If one issues a continue from the
debugger, then kdb will ungrab the console and the system rolls on.
This change adds a perhaps minor feature: when we're down to grab == 0 and
if vt actually switched away to ttyv0, switch back to the tty it was
previously on before the console was grabbed.
The justification behind this is that a typical flow is to work in
!ttyv0 to avoid console spam while occasionally dropping to ddb to inspect
system state before returning. This could easily enough be tossed behind
a sysctl or something if it's not generally appreciated, but I anticipate
indifference.

This effectively reverts r355935, but is functionally equivalent. We gain no
benefit from storing the index and repeatedly fetching the keyboard with
`kbd_get_keyboard` when we need it. We'll be notified when it's going away
so we can clean up the pointer.
All existing references were trivially converted. Only once instance
actually needed the index.
With absolutely no keyboards attached and no kbdmux in kernel, we descend
down this error path. 0 is a valid keyboard index, so leaving
vd->vd_keyboard at 0 when there's no keyboard found is objectively wrong as
later attachment of a keyboard will fail -- it gets index 0, and vt thinks
it's already using that keyboard.
This is decidedly the corniest of corner cases, but it's easy enough to get
correct that we should do so.
Tested in a kernel without atkbdc, atkbd, psm, kbdmux, ukbd, hyperv then
loading ukbd post-boot and attaching a usb keyboard.
This change enables the use of OpenFirmware Console (ofwcons), even when VGA is
available, allowing early kernel messages to be seen, that is important in case
of crashes before VGA console initialization.
This is specially useful in virtualized environments, where the user/developer
doesn't have full control of the virtualization engine (e.g. OpenStack).
The old behavior is preserved by default and, in order to use ofwcons, a few
tunables that have been introduced need to be set:
- hw.ofwfb.disable=1 - disable OFW FrameBuffer device
- machdep.ofw.mtx_spin=1 - change PPC OFW mutex to SPIN type, to match kernel
console's mutex type
- debug.quiesce_ofw=0 - don't call OFW quiesce, needed to keep ofwcons I/O
