Now it matches the man page and also the only other commercial implementation
i have found so far ( Solaris 2.x).
Changed the name from ss_base to ss_sp.
Display update method changed, now allways write in memory buffer,
then periodically update physical display.
Speed improvements (now > 5 times faster than the old syscons).
History now circular buffer, with changeable size.
History scroll by up/down line, up/down page, home and end.
Backtab proberly implemented.
Now space for 96 function keys, 63 allocated standard, default now
SCO/SYSV compat again as in the old days.
New keyboard definition files ~share/syscons/keymaps/*
Misc fixes for old "hacks" that broke SCO/SYSV compat.
More that I forgot before writing this...

The pas driver has consequently been removed.
This driver can be configured without without interrupts.

case, software cursor now optional case. Driver must provide
raw things (what hardware do for us, exactly) as default case,
all driver features must be _optional_. Modern VGAs have internal
configuration utilities to set cursor shape/blinking which stored
into cards ROM, and syscons nuke out such features completely
by forcing software cursor. Moreover, software cursor is hard
to distinguish on standouted (or near standouted) fields and
tends to disappearse from the screen.
Set "flags 0x4" to enable software cursor now.
o Cleanup screen savers.
o Don't draw cursor if saver or blinker is active.
o Duplicated code moved to functons.
o Add more checks for blinker in progress, character lost otherwise
when blinker restore old contents.
o Reduce blinking counter to 3, too slow in old variant.
o Fix timeout code in scrn_timer(), old variant can reenter iself,
if action takes too long time.
o Disable visual bell for scroll lock mode, saved screen
becomes overwritted otherwise.

page flipping anytime soon and 4k just wastes memory. Performance via the
looback interface will decrease slightly by this change. Idealy, we need
buffers that can have variable sizes, but this requires a rewrite of far
too much code at the moment.
1) Don't clone routes to multicast destinations; there is nothing useful
to be gained in this case.
2) Reduce default expiration timer to one hour. Busy sites will still
likely want to reduce this, but for ordinary users this is a reasonable
value to use.

route.h: add glue to track this to rtentry structure. WARNING WILL ROBINSON!
This will be yet another incompatible change in your route-using binaries.
I apologize, but this was the only way to do it. I took this opportunity
to increase the size of the metrics to what I believe will be the final
length for 2.1, so that when the T/TCP stuff is done, this won't happen
again.
Print out the length of the compiled sequencer program.
aic7xxx.seq:
More optimizations. Replace generic bcopy routine with bcopy_3
and bcopy_4 (ie unroll the loops) since these are the only two cases used.
Initialize SIMODE1 and SXFRCTL1 from the kernel in ahc_init instead of
at each selection/reselection since this is expensive and only needs to
be done once. Condense function returns into previous instruction if possible.
Reorder some sections to kill superflous jumps. These optimizations kill
the ~150k/s penalty adding support for Twin/Wide cards was costing since
the last place in the commaon path of execution where we had to do ugly,
convoluted testing for the type of card in the sequencer has gone away.

When using cp to copy a file under the following circumstanes:
- original file in on an NFS filesystem
- destination file is on the same NFS filesystem
- the file is less than 8Mbytes in size
- the file is larger than 65536 bytes in size
the cp process can get frozen in device-wait and never wake up (cp uses
mmap() in this case).
A small change to allocbuf() fixes this.
Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)
Obtained from:
sio.c and sioreg.c changed to allow autodetecting the RB_SERIAL flag
passed by the boot blocks so that the kernel can switch to 'serial
console' mode automagically. 'options COMCONSOLE' can still be specified
to force the kernel to always use the serial port as a console.
CONUNIT and CONADDR can also be specified in the kernel config file
if the user wants to shift the console to a different port.
Obtained from:
Added a new flag (RB_SERIAL) which is passed by the boot block to tell
the kernel that it should use a serial port as a console. (The kernel
can still be forced to boot in serial console mode if 'options COMCONSOLE'
is used.)
Put in the much shorter and cleaner version for the calibrate_cycle_counter
for the Pentium that Bruce suggested. Tested here on my Pentium and
it works okay.
sigreturn() sometimes failed for ordinary returns from signal handlers.
Failures of ordinary returns "can't happen" and are badly handled.
"Temporary" fix: allow users to corrupt PSL_RF. This is fairly
harmless. A correct fix would involve saving the old %eflags (and
perhaps the old segment registers) where the user can't get at them.
(original "High Sierra") CD format. I've already implemented this for
1.1.5.1 (and posted to -hackers), but didn't get any response to it.
Perhaps i'm the only one who has such an old CD lying around...
Everything is done empirically, but i had three of them around (from
different vendors), so there's a high probability that i've got it
right. :)
WDTR, and message reject handlers so they don't need to exist in the
sequencer. All three of these cases are not on the critical path, so it
makes little sense to use up precious sequencer ram for them.
(SCSI control block) instead of having the host PIO it down. Also
reimplement WDTR and SDTR optimization to remove code in the sequencer
and place the responsibility of knowing when to initiate SDTR or WDTR
on the kernel driver. This vastly shortens the sequencer program yet
yeilds the same performance.
properly from the beginning:
1) The `kern_devconf' struct should be a part of the driver's
`softc' structure (now it is).
2) The `description' should say what the device actually is,
rather than just giving a model number (now it does).
3) The device should be registered even if the probe fails, so
that it can be reconfigured later.
4) For netifs, the device state should follow the IFF_UP flag.
Other network interfaces should follow this example. (Please?) Eventually
there should be a rundown routine doing the equivalent of setting IFF_UP
off, and perhaps more if warranted.
attempted to check for insecure and fatal eflags and segment
selectors, but missed many cases and got the IOPL check back to
front. The other syscalls didn't check at all.
sys_process.c, machdep.c:
Only allow PT_WRITE_U to write to the registers (ordinary and FP).
psl.h, locore.s, machdep.c:
Eliminate PSL_MBZ, PSL_MBO and PSL_USERCLR. We are not supposed
to assume anything about the reserved bits. Use PSL_USERCHANGE
and PSL_KERNEL instead. Rename PSL_USERSET to PSL_USER.
exception.s:
Define a private label for use by doreti when returning to user
mode fails.
machdep.c:
In syscalls, allow changing only the eflags that can be changed on
486's in user mode (no longer attempt to allow benign IOPL changes;
allow changing the nasty PSL_NT; don't allow changing the i586
bits).
Don't attempt to check all the cases involving invalid selectors
and %eip's. Just check for privilege violations and let the invalid
things cause a trap.
procfs_machdep.c:
Call the ptrace register functions to do all the work for reading
and writing ordinary registers and for single stepping.
trap.c:
Ignore traps caused by PSL_NT being set. Previously, users could
cause a fatal trap in user mode by setting PSL_NT and executing an
iret, and a fatal trap in kernel mode by setting PSL_NT and making
a syscall. PSL_NT was cleared too late and not in enough modes to
fix the problem.
Make all traps in user mode (except T_NMI) nonfatal.
Recover from traps caused by attempting to load invalid user
registers in doreti by restarting the traps so that they appear to
occur in user mode.

Uniformize idempotency ifdef.
exception.s, machdep.c:
Remove rsvd[0-14]. rsvd0 hasn't been reserved since the 486 came

non-unique) trap numbers. Replace rsvd[1-14] by rsvd.
locore.s:
Enable alignment check flag on 486's and 586's.
machdep.c:
Use a better type for kstack[].
Use TFREGP() to find the registers.
Reformat ptrace functions from SEF to something closer to KNF.
procfs_machdep.c:
The wrong pointer to the registers got fixed as a side effect.

/proc/*/*regs now work (only) for processes that are in memory.
Clean up comments.
trap.c, trap.h:
Remove unused trap types.
