9976156f12 kern cons: introduce infrastructure for console grabbing by kernel
At the moment grab and ungrab methods of all console drivers are no-ops.

Current intended meaning of the calls is that the kernel takes control of
console input.  In the future the semantics may be extended to mean that
the calling thread takes full ownership of the console (e.g. console
output from other threads could be suspended).

e5a0927394 Follow up to r225203 refining break-to-debugger run-time configuration
improvements:

(1) Implement new model in previously missed at91 UART driver
(2) Move BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER from opt_comconsole.h
    to opt_kdb.h (spotted by np)
(3) Garbage collect now-unused opt_comconsole.h

4cf7545589 Attempt to make break-to-debugger and alternative break-to-debugger more
accessible:

(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
    KDB is present in the kernel.

(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
    and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
    debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.

(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
    to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
    break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
    above sysctls to enable those features by default.  Current kernel
    configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.

(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
    individual device drivers into centralised KDB code.  This has a
    number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
    sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't.  However,
    similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.

(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
    allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
    interface to KDB to allow that to work.

GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.

c5e30cc02b Last minute TTY API change: remove mutex argument from tty_alloc().
I don't want people to override the mutex when allocating a TTY. It has
to be there, to keep drivers like syscons happy. So I'm creating a
tty_alloc_mutex() which can be used in those cases. tty_alloc_mutex()
should eventually be removed.

The advantage of this approach, is that we can just remove a function,
without breaking the regular API in the future.

c8978106d0 Remove unused consdev structure fields.
The cn_unit and cn_tp fields don't seem to be used anywhere. Some
drivers set them, while others don't. Just remove them, in an attempt to

bc093719ca 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.

43d7128c14 Expand kdb_alt_break a little, most commonly used with the option
ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER.  In addition to "Enter ~ ctrl-B" (to enter the
debugger), there is now "Enter ~ ctrl-P" (force panic) and
"Enter ~ ctrl-R" (request clean reboot, ala ctrl-alt-del on syscons).

We've used variations of this at work.  The force panic sequence is
best used with KDB_UNATTENDED for when you just want it to dump and
get on with it.

The reboot request is a safer way of getting into single user than
a power cycle.  eg: you've hosed the ability to log in (pam, rtld, etc).
It gives init the reboot signal, which causes an orderly reboot.

I've taken my best guess at what the !x86 and non-sio code changes
should be.

This also makes sio release its spinlock before calling KDB/DDB.

95bc568977 Add new function ttyinitmode() which sets our systemwide default
modes on a tty structure.

Both the ".init" and the current settings are initialized allowing
the function to be used both at attach and open time.

The function takes an argument to decide if echoing should be enabled.
Echoing should not be enabled for regular physical serial ports
unless they are consoles, in which case they should be configured
by ttyconsolemode() instead.

Use the new function throughout.

44731cab3b Change the suser() API to take advantage of td_ucred as well as do a
general cleanup of the API.  The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API.  The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument.  The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0.  The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.
