The VGA "text mode" buffer has a pair of bytes for each character: One
byte for the character symbol, and an "attribute" byte encoding the
foreground and background colours. When updating the screen, we were
writing these two bytes separately.
On some virtualized systems, every write results in a glyph being redrawn
into a (graphical) virtual screen; writing these two bytes separately
results in twice as much work being done to draw characters, whereas if
we perform a single 16-bit write instead, the character only needs to be
redrawn once.
On an EC2 c5.4xlarge instance, this change cuts 1.30s from the kernel boot,
speeding it up from 8.90s to 7.60s.

/chosen/stdout-path is a string, not ihandle. Treat it as such.
With this, ofwfb now starts correctly on a POWER9 system when launched from
the local console (not serial).
The FDT implementation of OF_instance_to_package() backend checks the
cross-reference to get the node. On failure, this returns the input handle
unchanged. In the case of ofwfb attachment, if /chosen/stdout property does not
exist, sc->sc_handle is either garbage or 0, which then gets propagated to node.
This will prevent "screen" from being used, resulting in not properly attaching.
Correct this by matching the code in ofwfb_probe().
To workaround buggy firmware that sets this flag when there's actually
a VGA present.

This may not be right, but it sometimes right and is better than

MMU is disabled.
This expands some earlier logic and avoids a number of potential problems:
1. The CPU may not be able to access the framebuffer in real mode (real
mode does not necessarily encompass all available memory, especially
under a hypervisor).
2. Real mode accesses generally assume cacheability, so it might not
even have worked.
3. The difference in cacheability between real mode and later (and
potentially earlier) points in the boot with the MMU on may cause
ERAT parity problems, resulting in a machine check.
This fixes real-mode (usefdt=1) early boot on the G5 iMac, which was
previously broken as a result of issue #3. Late boot will require some
other fixups.

There is no need to try to resume it after each smaller operations
(putchar, cursor_position, copy, fill).
The resume function already checks if the timer is armed before doing
anything, but it uses an atomic cmpset which is expensive. And resuming
the timer at the end of input processing is enough.
While here, we also skip timer resume if the input is for another
windows than the currently displayed one. I.e. if `ttyv0` is currently
displayed, any changes to `ttyv1` shouldn't resume the timer (which
would refresh `ttyv0`).
By doing the same benchmark as r333669, I get:
* vt(4), before r333669: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 760 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
... to process input, instead of inside each smaller operations such as
appending a character or moving the cursor forward.
In other words, before we were doing (oversimplified):
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
vtterm_cursor_position()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
Now, we are doing:
vtterm_pre_input()
VTBUF_LOCK()
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
vtterm_cursor_position()
vtterm_post_input()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
The situation was even worse when the vtterm_copy() and vtterm_fill()
callbacks were involved.
The new callbacks are:
* struct terminal_class->tc_pre_input()
* struct terminal_class->tc_post_input()
They are called in teken_input(), surrounding the while() loop.
The goal is to improve input processing speed of vt(4). As a benchmark,
here is the time taken to write a text file of 360 000 lines (26 MiB) on
`ttyv0`:
* vt(4), unmodified: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 1200 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
This is on a Haswell laptop with a GENERIC-NODEBUG kernel.
At the same time, the locking is changed in the vt_flush() function
which is responsible to draw the text on screen. So instead of
(indirectly) using VTBUF_LOCK() just to read and reset the dirty area
of the internal buffer, the lock is held for about the entire function,
including the drawing part.
The change is mostly visible while content is scrolling fast: before,
lines could appear garbled while scrolling because the internal buffer
was accessed without locks (once the scrolling was finished, the output
was correct). Now, the scrolling appears correct.
In the end, the locking model is closer to what syscons(4) does.

Before this change, the VGA palette was configured to match the shell
palette (e.g. color #1 was red). There was one glitch early in boot when
the vt(4)'s VGA palette was loaded: the loader's logo would switch from
red to blue. Likewise for the "Booting..." message switching from blue
to red. That's because the loader's logo was drawed with the default VGA
palette where a few colors are swapped compared to the shell palette
(e.g. blue <-> red).
This change configures the default VGA palette during initialization and
converts input's colors from shell to VGA palette index.
There should be no visible changes, except the loader's logo which will
keep its original color.

This makes it more logical:
1. It checks the requested color format
2. It fills the palette accordingly
Also vt_palette_init() is only called when needed (i.e. when the format
is `COLOR_FORMAT_RGB`).

accomplishes a few things:
- Makes NULL an invalid address in the kernel, which is useful for catching
bugs.
- Lays groundwork for radix-tree translation on POWER9, which requires the
direct map be at high memory.
- Similarly lays groundwork for a direct map on 64-bit Book-E.
The new base address is chosen as the base of the fourth radix quadrant
(the minimum kernel address in this translation mode) and because all
supported CPUs ignore at least the first two bits of addresses in real
mode, allowing direct-map addresses to be used in real-mode handlers.
This is required by Linux and is part of the architecture standard
starting in POWER ISA 3, so can be relied upon.

Trying to grab locks during cngrab() when entering the debugger is
deadlock prone as all other CPUs are already halted (and thus unable
to release locks) when cngrab() is invoked. One could instead use
try-locks. However, the case that the try-lock fails still has to
be handled. In addition, if the try-lock works it doesn't provide
any greater ordering guarantees than is already provided by entering
and exiting DDB. It is simpler to define a simpler path for the
case that the try-lock would fail and always use that when entering
DDB. Messing with timers, etc. when entering DDB is dubious even if
the try-lock succeeds.
This patch attempts to use the smallest possible set of operations to
grab the vt(4) console when entering DDB without using any locks.

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.

for vt. Restore syscons' rendering of background (bg) brightness as
foreground (fg) blinking and vice versa, and add rendering of blinking
as background brightness to vt.
Bright/saturated is conflated with light/white in the implementation
and in this description.
Bright colors were broken in all cases, but appeared to work in the
only case shown by "vidcontrol show". A boldness hack was applied
only in 1 layering-violation place (for some syscons sequences) where
it made some cases seem to work but was undone by clearing bold using
ANSI sequences, and more seriously was not undone when setting
ANSI/xterm dark colors so left them bright. Move this hack to drivers.
The boldness hack is only for fg brightness. Restore/add a similar hack
for bg brightness rendered as fg blinking and vice versa. This works
even better for vt, since vt changes the default text mode to give the
more useful bg brightness instead of fg blinking.
The brightness bit in colors was unnecessarily removed by the boldness
hack. In other cases, it was lost later by teken_256to8(). Use
teken_256to16() to not lose it. teken_256to8() was intended to be
used for bg colors to allow finer or bg-specific control for the more
difficult reduction to 8; however, since 16 bg colors actually work
on VGA except in syscons text mode and the conversion isn't subtle
enough to significantly in that mode, teken_256to8() is not used now.
There are still bugs, especially in vidcontrol, if bright/blinking
background colors are set.
Restore XOR logic for bold/bright fg in syscons (don't change OR
logic for vt). Remove broken ifdef on FG_UNDERLINE and its wrong
or missing bit and restore the correct hard-coded bit. FG_UNDERLINE
is only for mono mode which is not really supported.
Restore XOR logic for blinking/bright bg in syscons (in vt, add
OR logic and render as bright bg). Remove related broken ifdef
on BG_BLINKING and its missing bit and restore the correct
hard-coded bit. The same bit means blinking or bright bg depending
on the mode, and we want to ignore the difference everywhere.
Simplify conversions of attributes in syscons. Don't pretend to
support bold fonts. Don't support unusual encodings of brightness.
It is as good as possible to map 16 VGA colors to 16 xterm-16
colors. E.g., VGA brown -> xterm-16 Olive will be converted back
to VGA brown, so we don't need to convert to xterm-256 Brown. Teken
cons25 compatibility code already does the same, and duplicates some
small tables. This is mostly for the sc -> te direction. The other
direction uses teken_256to16() which is too generic.
