- ppbus now supports PLIP via the if_plip driver
- ieee1284 infrastructure added, including parallel-port PnP
- port microsequencer added, for scripting the sort of port I/O
that is common with parallel devices without endless calls up and down
through the driver structure.
- improved bus ownership behaviour among the ppbus-using drivers.
- improved I/O chipset feature detection
The vpo driver is now implemented using the microsequencer, leading to
some performance improvements as well as providing an extensive example
of its use.

the splash screen option (SC_SPLASH_SCREEN) does not work yet, as it
requires additional code from msmith.

- Delay screen switch in `switch_scr()' until the screen saver is
stopped, if one is running,
- Start the screen saver immediately, if any, when the `saver' key is
pressed. (There will be another commit for `kbdcontrol' to support
this keyword in the keymap file.)
- Do not always stop the screen saver when mouse-related ioctls
are called. Stop it only if the mouse is moved or buttons are
clicked; don't stop it if any other mouse ioctls are called.
2. Added provision to write userland screen savers. (Contact me if you
are interested in writing one.)
- Added CONS_IDLE, CONS_SAVERMODE, and CONS_SAVERSTART ioctls to
support userland screen savers.
3. Some code clean-ups.

and DSO_NOLABELS flags prevent searching for slices and labels
respectively. Current drivers don't set these flags. When
DSO_NOLABELS is set, the in-core label for the whole disk is cloned
to create an in-core label for each slice. This gives the correct
result (a good in-core label for the compatibility slice) if
DSO_ONESLICE is set or only one slice is found, but usually gives
broken labels otherwise, so DSO_ONESLICE should be set if DSO_NOLABELS
is set.
- Call isa_dmadone() whenever necessary to stop DMA and/or free bounce
buffers. Undead DMA corrupted the malloc freelist fairly consistently
in the following configuration: SLICE kernel, 2 floppy drives, no disk
in fd0, disk in fd1.
- Don't call fdc_reset() from fd_timeout(). Doing so gave an "extra"
interrupt which was usually misinterpreted as being for completion
of the next FDC command; the interrupt for completion of the next
FDC command was then usually misinterpreted... There were further
complications for interrupts latched by the soft-spl mechanism so
that they were delivered after all the h/w interrupts went away.
This caused at least wrong head settle delays and may be why the
FreeBSD floppy driver seems to munch floppies more than most floppy
drivers. The reset was unnecessary anyway in cases that didn't have
the bug described next, since is was repeated a little later for
the IOTIMEDOUT state. The state machine has complications to handle
resets correctly, so just use it.
- Don't call retrier() from fd_timeout(). The IOTIMEDOUT state needs
to be processed next, and it isn't valid to set to that state if
retrier() has aborted the current transfer. Doing so caused null
pointer panics after the previous bug was fixed.
Improved error handling:
- If an i/o is aborted, arrange to reset in the state machine before
doing the next i/o. New fdc flag for this. This fixes spurious
warnings and lengthy busy-waiting for the next i/o.
- Split STARTRECAL into RESETCOMPLETE and STARTRECAL and only check
for the results from reset if we actually reset. This fixes spurious
warnings for other paths to STARTRECAL. [Oops, it may break reset
handling for motor-off resets.]
Cleanups in fd_timeout():
- Renamed to fd_iotimeout() to make it clearer that it is only used
for i/o.
- Don't handle the bp == 0 case. This case can't happen for i/o.
- Don't check for controller-busy. We know it must be.
- Don't print anything. retrier() already prints too much for normal
errors.
- Fudge the state differently so that the state machine advances
fdc->retry and the status is invalid (perhaps this should fudge a
valid state like the one for WP).
- Style fixes.
fork_trampoline() if switchtime is valid. This fixes not accounting
for the time between the previous context switch and and the current
time (when the forked child starts up here) in most cases - the time
is now counted in the child's runtime. I think it actually fixes
all cases, and switchtime is always valid here, since there must have
been a context switch just before the forked child starts up. Some
code should be removed if this is correct. The check that switchtime
is valid sometimes gives a false negative because the check isn't
correct until the after the first context switch after the system
has been up for >= 1 second.
potentially re-use the stack page.
Cosmetic cleanup of the code to de-obfuscate it and make it easier
to follow. There should be no functional changes in this commit.
small part of a bug suite beginning in the SLICE probes but mostly in the
floppy driver. This is a quick fix: the auto case shouldn't be special;
DMA should also be stopped in isa_dma_release(); isa_dmastop() probably
shouldn't exist; common DMA registers should not be accessed without
locking.
controller reports a successful seek, it is very unlikely to report
seeking to a cylinder other than the one requested, but we check for
this, and botched the error handling for the requested_cylinder != 0
case. This error happened when the bug fixed in rev.1.52 of <sys/buf.h>
caused the head of buffer queue to change to one starting on a different
cylnder - the requested cylinder was found, but it wasn't what we
thought we requested. The fix is simply to arrange to reset the state
machine.
Corruption of the buffer queue seems to only have been a problem in the
floppy driver. Other drivers dequeue the head of the queue before doing
physical i/o on it, so the corruption at worse broke the elevator sort
order. Dequeueing breaks it anyway.
These asm statments are not quite as pessimal as when I complained
about them in rev.1.9 of audio.c. They seem to be only 40% slower

interupt level events. This needs a lot of cleanup, but has been working

just to ensure 32-bit variables. Doing so broke and/or pessimized
i386's with 64-bit longs (unnecessary use of 64-bit variables
caused remarkably few problems in C code, but the inline asm here
tended to fail because there are no 64-bit registers). Since the
interfaces here are very machine-dependent and shouldn't be used
outside of the kernel, use a standard types of "known" width instead
of fixed-width types.
Changed all quad_t's to u_int64_t's. quad_t isn't standard, and
using signed types for 64-bit registers was bogus (but made no
difference).
to ensure 32-bit variables. Doing so broke i386's with 64-bit

chars and pointers since the bootinfo struct layout is a binary
interface. The boot blocks could reasonably be implemented using
16-bit code.

There is only cdevsw (which should be renamed in a later edit to deventry

to the cdevsw entry of the device. it's major is in d_bmaj rather than
d_maj. some cleanup still to happen (e.g. dsopen now gets two pointers
to the same cdevsw struct instead of one to a bdevsw and one to a cdevsw).
rawread()/rawwrite() went away as part of this though it's not strictly
the same patch, just that it involves all the same lines in the drivers.
cdroms no longer have write() entries (they did have rawwrite (?)).
tapes no longer have support for bdev operations.

Kapok Computer Co. notebook with AMI 'WinBIOS' which seems to insist
on having a short jump and nop as the first instructions in the
boot sector code. The prevailing theory is that the BIOS is doing
some sort of boot sector virus detection and refusing to run any
boot block that doesn't start with the same instruction sequence as
MS-DOG boot sector code. If this is the case, it would be nice if it
actually printed an error message to this effect instead of just
saying 'FAILED.'
This workaround has no effect on the boot sector code other than to

code. Apart from the first one, none really affect typical configurations
but are nevertheless unnecessary limitations. We use netbooted PCs as
student X-terminals and all of the below fixes have been useful. Apologies
for including them all in one PR, but some are just too silly or trivial
to send on their own!
a) Newer SMC cards have hardware addresses starting with 00:E0.
Netboot compares the MAC address with 00:00:C0 to determine
if it is a WD/SMC card, so it fails to detect these.
b) Netboot is unable to boot kzipped kernels, as it assumes that
the kernel load address is 0x100000.
c) Users can abort the booting process and enter arbitrary network
addresses, or boot from a floppy disk. This can be a problem when
netbooted machines are used in a student environment.
d) It is not possible to set all options via bootp. For example there
is no way to remotely force a client to boot from disk. With both
SECURE_BOOT(patch below) and NO_TFTP defined, short of unplugging
the eprom there is no way at all to get the client to boot locally.
A generic solution is to allow complete netboot commands to be sent
using bootp lines such as:
:T132="diskboot":
e) The last character of netboot command names is not checked. You
can type 'iz 10.0.0.1' and it will be interpreted as 'ip'. This
is only important if you try to add a new command which is the
same as an existing one except for the last character.
f) We have a configuration where multiple servers are willing to serve
a diskless client. The tftp config file, or the bootptab entry on
each server must specify the root and swap filesystems as 'ip:/fs'
even though 'ip' will usually be the responding server's IP address.
It would be nice if netboot could automatically prepend the server's
IP address to an entry specified as just '/fs', so that multiple
servers can use the same tftp or bootp configuration files. Admittedly
this is hardly a major problem!
