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.

3de213cc00 Add a new 'why' argument to kdb_enter(), and a set of constants to use
for that argument.  This will allow DDB to detect the broad category of
reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.

Assign approximate why values to all current consumers of the
kdb_enter() interface.

40ca0d5755 - Don't force to be the GDB port since dcons(4) is in GENERIC now.
To enable the GDB port of dcons(4), you need to put
  dcons_gdb=1
in /boot/loader.conf.

293b847542 Add the address of IDT in the configuration ROM. (i386/amd64 only)
A change to dconschat(8) will follow so that it can bomb
this address over FireWire to reset a wedged system.

Though this method is just a hack and far from perfection,
it should be useful if you don't want to go machine room
just to reset or to power-cycle a machine without
remote-managed power supply.  And much better than doing:
# fwcontrol -m target-eui64
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fwmem0.2 bs=1m

9953c34ca6 Poll bus resets on FireWire while kdb/gdb is active.
Now, it's safe to call the fwohci interrupt(polling) routine while ddb/gdb
is active. After this change, a dcons connnection over FireWire can survive
bus resets even in kernel debugger.

This means that it is not too late to plug a FireWire cable after a panic
to investigate the problem.

Actually there is a small window(between a jump to kernel from loader and
initialization of dcons_crom) in which no one can take care of a bus reset.
Except that window, firewire console should keep working
from loader to reboot even with a panic and a bus reset.
(as far as you enable LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT)

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.

672c05d49c Preparation commit for the tty cleanups that will follow in the near
future:

rename ttyopen() -> tty_open() and ttyclose() -> tty_close().

We need the ttyopen() and ttyclose() for the new generic cdevsw
functions for tty devices in order to have consistent naming.

those alone for now and instead taught MOD_QUIESCE to accept this
as "didn't do anything".

ed9c21cd74 Update for the KDB framework:
o  Use kdb_alt_break() to handle the alternate break sequence instead
   of handcoding it here.
o  Remove GDB kluges to make this driver work with the pre-KDB remote
   GDB code.
o  Call kdb_enter() instead of Debugger().

Note that with this commit the dcons(4) driver cannot be used for
remote debugging anymore. This driver has to use the new GDB debug
port interface instead. Such has not been done yet.
