Use sbintime_t timeouts with precision control to get very accurate
timing. It costs little to always ask for about 1% accuracy, and the
not so new event timer implementation usual delivers that, and when
it can't it gets much closer than our previous coarse timeouts and
buggy simple countdown.
The 2 fastest atkbd repeat rates have periods 34 and 38 msec, and ukbd
pretended to support rates in between these. This requires
sub-microsecond precision and accuracy even to handle the 4 msec
difference very well, but ukbd asked the timeout subsystem for timeouts
of 25 msec and the buggy simple countdown of this gave a a wide range
of precisions and accuracies depending on HZ and other timer
configuration (sometimes better than 25 msec but usually more like 50
msec). We now ask for and usually get precision and accuracy of about
1% for each repeat and much better on average.
The 1% accuracy is overkill. Rounding of 30 cps to 34 msec instead of
33 already gives an error of +2% instead of -1%, and ut AT keyboards on
PS/2 interfaces have similar errors.
A timeout is now scheduled for every keypress and release. This allows
some simplifications that are not done. It allows removing the timeout
scheduling for exiting polled mode where it was unsafe in ddb mode. This
is done. Exiting polled mode had some problems with extra repeats. Now
exiting polled mode lets an extra timeout fire and the state is fudged
so that the timeout handler does very little.
The sc->time_ms variable is unsigned to avoid overflow. Differences of
it need to be signed. Signed comparisons were emulated by testing an
emulated sign bits. This only works easily for '<' comparisonss, but
we now need a '<=' comparison. Change the difference variable to
signed and use a signed comparison. Using unsigned types here didn't
prevent overflow bugs but just reduced them. Overflow occurs with
n repeats at the silly repeat period of [U]INT_MAX / n. The old countdown
had an off by 1 error, and the simplifications would simply count down
1 to 0 and not need to accumulate possibly-large repeat repeats.
kbdcontrol -r fast is documented to give a non-emulated atkbd's fastest
rate of 250.34, but is misimplemented to request this as 0.0. ukbd
supports many nonstandard rates, although it is currently too inaccurate
by a factor of several hundred for non-huge nonstandard rates to be
useful. It mapped 0.0 to 200.0. A repeat delay of 0 means a rate of
infinity which is quite fast, but physical constraints limit this to
a few MHz and the inaccuracies made it almost usable.
Convert 0.0 to the documented 250.34.
Also convert negative args and small args to the 250.34 minimal ones,
like atkbd does. This is for KDSETREPEAT -- the 2 versions of the
deprecated KDSETRAD have bounds checking. Keep not doing any bounds
checking or conversions for upper limits since nonstandard large
delays are useful for testing.
The inaccuracies are dependent on HZ and the timeout implementation.
With the old timeout implementation and HZ = 1000, 200.0 probably
worked better to emulate 250.34 than 250.34 itself. HZ = 100 gives
roundoff errors that accidentally reduce the inaaccuracies, and
event timers reduce the inaccuracies even more, so 200.0 was giving
more like itself (perhaps 215.15 on average but sometimes close to
10 msec repeat which is noticebly too fast). This commit makes 0.0
noticeably too slow, like 250.34 always was.
The previous fix was tested mainly on 3 AT keyboards with USB adaptors where
it works. 1 USB keyboard doesn't translate Alt-PrintScreen, so the software
has to do it.
Reorganize a little to share some code and to not translate the unusual usb
scan code0x8a unless an Alt modified is set. Remove redundant check of Alt
modifiers. Translation now more clearly filters out Alt-PrintScreen before
the check.
The table of errors fixed in the previous commit had many bugs. Correct
table:
K_RAW Ctl-PrintScreen: E0-2A-E0-37 -> E0-37
K_RAW Alt-PrintScreen (with 4 comb. of Ctl/Shift): 79 -> 54
K_RAW Pause/Break (with 4 comb. of Alt/Shift): E0-46 -> E1-1D-45
K_CODE PrintScreen (with 4 comb. of Ctl/Shift): 54 -> 5c
K_CODE Alt-PrintScreen (with 4 comb. of Ctl/Shift): 7e -> 54
K_CODE Pause/Break (with 8 comb. of Ctl/Alt/Shift): 6c -> 68
That is 25 of 32 shift combinations for 2 keys fixed. All 16 combinations
were broken for K_CODE and thus also for K_XLATE.
so they are memory independent which allows for handling panics
triggered by the keyboard driver itself, typically via CTRL+ALT+ESC
sequences. Or if the USB keyboard driver was processing a key at the
moment of panic. Allow UKBD to be attached while keyboard polling is active.

everything was broken. The cases that I noticed were Ctrl-PrintScreen
not being mapped to the virtual scancode 0x5c (debug) and Pause not being
mapped to the physical/virtual scancode 0x46 (slock).
These keys are the most complicated ones due to kludges to give some
compatibility back to before AT keyboards.
Alt-PrintScreen must pretend to be a separate key from PrintScreen
even at the "raw" level. The (unique) usb code for it is 0x8a and we
just have to map this to our unique virtual scancode 0x54, but we
mapped it first to the internal code 0x7e and then to 0x79 which is a
key on the Japanese 106/109 keyboard. This fix is under the
UKBD_EMULATE_ATASCANCODE option which shouldn't be used for non-AT
keyboards. If it is, then the syscons Japanese keymaps have nothing
of importance for code 0x79 and can easily be changed. 0x54 is also
unimportant in Japanese and US keymaps.
NonAlt-PrintScreen and NonCtl-Pause/Break had many much larger bugs with
smaller compatibility problems from fixing them. The details are too
ugly to give here. Summary of the changed (hex) codes:
K_RAW PrintScreen (Ctl, Shift, Ctl-Shift): E0-2A-E0-37 -> E0-37
K_RAW Alt-PrintScreen (all shift states): 79 -> 54
K_RAW Pause/Break (unshifted, Shift, Alt, Alt-Shift)): E0-46 -> E1-1D-45
K_CODE ALT-PrintScreen (all shift states): 79 -> 54
That is 15 of 32 shift combinations for 2 keys fixed, with 8 easy cases
from the 79 -> 54 remapping.
The difference is only large and with no workaround using a keymap for
for K_RAW, but this affects other modes when ukbd is layered under kbmux
because kbmux keeps all subdevices in K_RAW mode and translates. Oops.
I used kbdmux to generate the above table of changes.
tables. Some drivers needed some slight re-arrangement of declarations
to accommodate this. Change the USB pnp tables slightly to allow
better compatibility with the system by moving linux driver info from
start of each entry to the end. All other PNP tables in the system
have the per-device flags and such at the end of the elements rather
that at the beginning.

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

or uname(1)

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.

This change is designed to let USB keyboard work in the panic context
with stop_scheduler_on_panic=1. Most of change consists of removing
mtx_owned() checks where they can be easily avoided. Some additional
lock cleanup is performed along the way.
A list of the smaller changes:
- newbus methods should be executed with Giant already held, just assert
this
- kbd methods called in the non-polling context should be executed with
Giant already held, just assert this
- Giant is recursive, so we should just take it where we must have it,
without redundant checks if we already have it
- thanks to recent syscons changes we don't need to go through the hoops
to detect if kernel is going to poll us; polling mode is now clearly
separated from non-polling mode
- at present the polling mode can be entered by only one thread
- document special cases in greater detail
Please note that the ukbd code and underlying USB code still lve
dangerously in the kdb context by trying to obtain various locks
including the Giant. If any of those locks are already held by the
stopped threads, then the things would blow up.
Another limitation of the ukbd driver is that it is detached before a
system enters the halt state.
With this commit we can enable kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic by default,
that should not introduce any regressions.

This brings USB bus more in line with how newbus is supposed to be used.
Also, because of the two-pass probing the following message was produced
by devd in default configuration when almost any USB device was
connected:
Unknown USB device: vendor <> product <> bus <>
This should be fixed now.
Note that many USB device drivers pass some information from probe
method to attach method via ivars. For this to continue working we rely
on the fact that the subr_bus code calls probe method of a winning driver
again before calling its attach method in the case where multiple
drivers claim to support a device. This is done because device
description is set in successful probe methods and we want to get a correct
device description from a winning driver. So now this logic is re-used
for setting ivars too.

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.
