Analysis seems to reveal that sc->keyboard >= 0 implies sc->kbd != NULL and
there's no such scenario where sc->kbd is set (and theoretically used to
rebuild sc->keyboard) with the keyboard unavailable.
Drop the index softc. The index is only explicitly needed in few places, in
which case we can just as easily grab it from sc->kbd. There's no need for
keeping sc->kbd and sc->keyboard in sync when it can be readily accomplished
with just the former.
This was purely automatically massaged... some parts are still imperfect,
but this is close enough to make it more readable/easy to work on.
Unfortunately the vt/syscons/kdb situation slightly complicates changes to
tty locking, so some work will need to be done to remediate that.
Non-x86 arches use an inconsistently named header for the file containing
"pc" attributes, and the ifdef messes to include the right header were out
of date in the 2 files that I added to the MI files list.
Only amd64, arm, i386, mips, powerpc and sparc64 are supposed to support
syscons. Only arm and mips were out of date in the ifdef. Test
coverage for of syscons in arm is broken (turned off) in NOTES, but
syscons is in some other arm config files which universe detects as broken.
arm64 and riscv remain broken due to the opposite bug of not turning off
sc in NOTES, the same as before r344458 (see r344443).
The header is MD to contain possibly-non-"pc" encodings of attributes, but
since the attributes are essentially virtual in graphics mode and non-x86
arches only support graphics mode, the header has always been the same on
all arches except for different style bugs, so there should be only 1 MI
copy of it for syscons' use. It was used in pcvt and still gives an an
API and an ABI, so it should be public and MI near or in sys/consio.h.
First remove ifdefs of the unsupported option SC_DUMB_TERMINAL which
prevented building using both in the same kernel and broke regression
tests. This option will be replaced by per-emulator supported options.
The dumb emulator rotted with KSE in r83366, but usually compiled since
it is ifdefed to nothing unless SC_DUMB_TERMINAL is defined. The type
of an unused function parameter changed.
Both emulators rotted when 2 new methods were added while the emulators
were removed. Only null methods are needed, but null function pointers
give panics instead.
The wildcard in the default for the unsupported option SC_DFLT_TERM
never really worked. It tends to prefer the dumb emulator when multiple
emulators are configured. Change it to prefer scteken for compatibility.

The "sc" emulator has the advantages of full support for cons25 and running
about 8 times faster than teken (for writing to the frame buffer).
The "dumb" emulator has the advantage of being simple.
Runtime choice of the emulator is good, but compile time choice is bad.
when TEKEN_CONS25 is configured. Fix this by adding a function to
set the flag that enables the fix and always calling this function
for syscons.
Expand the man page for teken_set_cons25(). This function is not
very useful since it can only set but not clear 1 flag. In practice,
it is only used when TEKEN_CONS25 is configured and all that does is
choose the the default emulation for syscons at compile time.
Effectively all i386 kernels now have two pmaps compiled in: one
managing PAE pagetables, and another non-PAE. The implementation is
selected at cold time depending on the CPU features. The vm_paddr_t is
always 64bit now. As result, nx bit can be used on all capable CPUs.
Option PAE only affects the bus_addr_t: it is still 32bit for non-PAE
configs, for drivers compatibility. Kernel layout, esp. max kernel
address, low memory PDEs and max user address (same as trampoline
start) are now same for PAE and for non-PAE regardless of the type of
page tables used.
Non-PAE kernel (when using PAE pagetables) can handle physical memory
up to 24G now, larger memory requires re-tuning the KVA consumers and
instead the code caps the maximum at 24G. Unfortunately, a lot of
drivers do not use busdma(9) properly so by default even 4G barrier is
not easy. There are two tunables added: hw.above4g_allow and
hw.above24g_allow, the first one is kept enabled for now to evaluate
the status on HEAD, second is only for dev use.
i386 now creates three freelists if there is any memory above 4G, to
allow proper bounce pages allocation. Also, VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE changed
from 3 to 1.
The PAE_TABLES kernel config option is retired.

The per-CPU ts is not initialized early, so the global kernel ts is used

The difference is most visible with EARLY_AP_STARTUP.
Change to using the curcpu macro instead of PCPU_GET(cpuid) in 2 places for
the above and in 1 other place in my old code in syscons. The function-like
spelling is perhaps better for indicating that curcpu is volatile (unlike
curthread), but for CPU attributes volatility is a feature.
The SCHEDULER_STOPPED() hack breaks locking generally, and
mtx_trylock_*() especially. When mtx_trylock_*() returns nonzero,
naive code version here trusts it to have worked. But when
SCHEDULER_STOPPED() is true, mtx_trylock_*() returns 1 without doing
anything. Then mtx_unlock_*() crashes especially badly attempting to
unlock iff the error is detected, since mutex unlocking functions don't
check SCHEDULER_STOPPED().
syscons already didn't trust mtx_trylock_spin(), but it was missing the
logic to turn on sp->kdb_locked when turning off sp->mtx_locked during
panics. It also used panicstr instead of SCHEDULER_LOCKED because I
thought that panicstr was more fragile. They only differ for a window
of lines in panic(), and in broken cases where stop_cpus_hard() in panic()
didn't work.
The change makes the user and kernel address spaces on i386
independent, giving each almost the full 4G of usable virtual addresses
except for one PDE at top used for trampoline and per-CPU trampoline
stacks, and system structures that must be always mapped, namely IDT,
GDT, common TSS and LDT, and process-private TSS and LDT if allocated.
By using 1:1 mapping for the kernel text and data, it appeared
possible to eliminate assembler part of the locore.S which bootstraps
initial page table and KPTmap. The code is rewritten in C and moved
into the pmap_cold(). The comment in vmparam.h explains the KVA
layout.
There is no PCID mechanism available in protected mode, so each
kernel/user switch forth and back completely flushes the TLB, except
for the trampoline PTD region. The TLB invalidations for userspace
becomes trivial, because IPI handlers switch page tables. On the other
hand, context switches no longer need to reload %cr3.
copyout(9) was rewritten to use vm_fault_quick_hold(). An issue for
new copyout(9) is compatibility with wiring user buffers around sysctl
handlers. This explains two kind of locks for copyout ptes and
accounting of the vslock() calls. The vm_fault_quick_hold() AKA slow
path, is only tried after the 'fast path' failed, which temporary
changes mapping to the userspace and copies the data to/from small
per-cpu buffer in the trampoline. If a page fault occurs during the
copy, it is short-circuit by exception.s to not even reach C code.
The change was motivated by the need to implement the Meltdown
mitigation, but instead of KPTI the full split is done. The i386
architecture already shows the sizing problems, in particular, it is
impossible to link clang and lld with debugging. I expect that the
issues due to the virtual address space limits would only exaggerate
and the split gives more liveness to the platform.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.
Reported by: wosch
PR: 225197
Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

- map the hard-coded frame buffer address above KERNBASE. Using the

The hard-coded frame buffer address only works on x86. Use messy ifdefs
to try to avoid warnings about unused code for other arches.
- remove the sysctl for reading and writing the table kernel console
attributes. Writing only worked for emergency output since normal
output uses unalterd copies.
- fix the test for the emergency console being usable
- explain why a hard-coded attribute is used very early. Emergency output
works on x86 even before the pcpu pointer is initialized.
Advertise this by changing the defaults to mostly red. If you don't like
this, change them (almost) back using:
vidcontrol -c charcolors,base=7,height=0
vidcontrol -c mousecolors,base=0[,height=15]
The (graphics mode only) mouse cursor colors were hard-coded to a black
border and lightwhite interior. Black for the border is the worst
possible default, since it is the same as the default black background
and not good for any dark background. Reversing this gives the better
default of X Windows. Coloring everything works better still. Now
the coloring defaults to a lightwhite border and red interior.
Coloring for the character cursor is more complicated and mode
dependent. The new coloring doesn't apply for hardware cursors. For
non-block cursors, it only applies in graphics mode. In text mode,
the cursor color was usually a hard-coded (dull)white for the background
only, unless the foreground was white when it was a hard-coded black
for the background only, unless the foreground was white and the
background was black it was reverse video. In graphics mode, it was
always reverse video for the block cursor. Reverse video is worse,
especially over cutmarking regions, since cutmarking still uses simple
reverse video (nothing better is possible in text mode) and double
reverse video for the cursor gives normal video. Now, graphics mode
uses the same algorithm as the best case for text mode in all cases
for graphics mode. The hard-coded sequence { white, black, } for the
background is now { red, white, blue, } where the first 2 colors can
be configured. The blue color at the end is a sentinel which prevents
reverse video being used in most cases but breaks the compatibility
setting for white on black and black on white characters. This will
be fixed later. The compatibility setting is most needed for mono modes.
The previous commit to syscons.c changed sc_cnterm() to be more careful.
It followed null pointers in some cases. But sc_cnterm() has been
unreachable for 15+ years since changes for multiple consoles turned
off calls to the the cnterm destructor for all console drivers. Before
them, it was only called at boot time. So no driver with an attached
console has ever been unloadable and not even the non-console destructors
have been tested much.
terminal state for kernel console output.
r56043 in 2000 added many complications to support dynamic selection
of the terminal emulator using modules and the ioctl CONS_SETTERM.
This was never completed. There are still no modules, but it is easy
to restore the scterm and dumb emulators at compile time. Then
boot-time configuration for the preferred one doesn't work right, but
CONS_SETTERM almost works after fixing this bug. CONS_SETTERM only
switches the emulator for the user state, leaving the kernel state(s)
still using the boot-time emulator. The fix is especially important
when switching from sc to scteken, since the scteken state has pointers
in it.
Rename kernel_console_ts to sc_kts.
There was already a per-vty defaults field, but it was useless since it was
only initialized when propagating the global settings and thus no different
from the current global settings and not per-vty. The global defaults field
was also invariant after boot time, but not quite so useless.
Fix this by adding a second selection bit the the control flags of the
relevant ioctl(). vidcontrol doesn't support this yet. Setting either
default propagates the change to the current setting for the same level
and then to all lower levels.
Improve the 3-way escape sequence used by termcap to control the cursor.
The "normal" (ve) case has always used reset, so the user could set
it to anything, but since the reset is to a global value this is not
very useful, especially since the "very visible" (vs) case doesn't
reset but inconsistently forces to a blinking block. Change vs to
first reset and then XOR the blinking bit so that it is predictably
different from ve.
attribute field is curs_attr. The base field holds user data translated
in a reversible way and is needed because current field holds this in
an irreversible way for efficiency.
Factor out some common code for the reversible translation. This is
slightly simpler now, and much easier to expand.
Translate the magic flags value -1 to a single control flag internally
up front so other flags can be trusted later. This can be used for the
relevant ioctl() too.
Remove CONS_CURSOR_FLAGS which contained all the control flags. It was
unused and not useful. After adding more flags, there will be tests on
a couple at a time but never on them all. This API should have used this
to disallow unknown flags.
redundant initializations.
Hard-code base = 0, height = (approx. 1/8 of the boot-time font height)
in all cases, and remove the BIOS/MD support for setting these values.
This asks for an underline cursor sized for the boot-time font instead
of various less hard-coded but worse values. I used that think that
the x86 BIOS always gave the same values as the above hard-coding, but
on 1 of my systems it gives the wrong value of base = 1.
The remaining BIOS fields are shift_state and bell_pitch. These are now
consistently not explicitly reinitialized to 0. All sc_get_bios_value()
functions except x86's are now empty, and the only useful thing that x86
returns is shift_state. This really belongs in atkbdc, but heavier
use of the BIOS to read the more useful typematic rate has been removed
there. fb still makes much heavier use of the BIOS.
was aliased to a vt sequence, causing and fixing various bugs.
For syscons, this restores support for arg 2 which sets blinking block
too forcefully, and restores bugs for arg 0 and 1. Arg 2 is used for
vs in the cons25 entry in termcap, but I've never noticed an application
that uses this. The bugs involve replacing local settings by global
ones and need better handling of defaults to fix.
For vt, this requires moving the aliasing code from teken to vt where
it belongs. This sequences is very important for cons25 compatibility
in vt since it is used by the cons25 termcap entries for ve, vi and
vs. vt can't properly support vs for either cons25 or xterm since it
doesn't support blinking. For xterm, the termcap entry for vs asks
for something different using 12;25h instead of 25h.
Rename C25CURS for this to C25LCT and change its description to be closer
to echoing the old comment about it. CURS is too generic.
Fix missing syscons escape sequence for setting the global cursor shape
(and type). Only support this in syscons since vt can't emulate anything

It should toggle between 2 states, but it used a cut-down version of
support for a related 3-state syscons escape sequence and inherited
bugs from that. The usual misbehaviour was that hiding and showing
the cursor reset it to a global default.
Support for the 3-state sequence remains broken by aliasing to the 2-state
sequence. This works better but incompatibly for the 2 cases that it
supports.
