option is not visible anywhere else, and pstat uses it to find the bounds
of the sccons[MAXCONS] array, which varies.
. preserve a multi-char sequence in a small static buffer inside
pccngetc(), so it won't be clobbered later (used to happen when
breaking into DDB user Ctrl-Alt-ESC), and
. simplify the ``keystroke is present'' determination in sgetc(), thus
making pccncheck() actually working without waiting for a keystroke.
for work regardless of whether there was an interrupt. This needs more
work, it should be able to run better when there are more than 3 host
cards present, ie: all cards in polling-only mode with no IRQ. (The
host cards have a choice of 3 irq's, 11, 12, or 15, or just polling)
little more reliably. So far I've received a couple of positive
responses and no objections to these changes.
There are two one-line changes:
- In wdprobe(), when testing the error status of drives, don't
unconditionally decide that there is no controller present if we
read back a value of 0x81 (drive 0 okay, drive 1 failed) twice
in a row. This may be caused by having an ATAPI CD-ROM jumpered
as a master on the controller with no slave.
- In wdgetctlr(), when checking for a status of WDCS_READY, check the
value twice. The first time may be bogus. This stops a phantom wd2
device from being detected when an ATAPI CD-ROM is attached to the
secondary controller alone as a slave. (This can cause installation to
fail when sysinstall attempts to open the phantom device and wedges the
system as a result. This has bitten me a couple of times on some
Gateway 2000 machines.)
. make pccncheck() work even when interrupts are disabled, so the
``Press a key on the console...'' procedure will work,
. make kernel colors #ifndef, so they can be overridden from the
config file,
. use shutdown_nice() instead of cpu_reset() if Ctrl-Alt-Del is
enabled,
. allow pccngetc() to return more than a single character, so the
arrow keys will work (and thus visual UserConfig!),
. fix a warning.
This closes all know PRs related to pcvt, in particular #845, #1236,
and #1265. PR #991 is a duplicate for 845, and PR #1283 has already
been fixed earlier in rev 1.11 of pcvt_conf.h.

Changed i586_ctr_bias from long long to u_int. Only the low 32 bits
are used now that microtime uses a multiplication to do the scaling.
Previously the high 32 bits had to match those of rdtsc() to prevent
overflow traps and invalid timeval adjustments.

Don't bother clearing dumplo when dumpdev is set to NODEV. Everything

Fixed the kern.dumpdev sysctl. Writes were handle bogusly.

performance issues.
1) The pmap module has had too many inlines, and so the
object file is simply bigger than it needs to be.
Some common code is also merged into subroutines.
2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.
The removal caused the need for more vm_page_lookups.
I added lookup hints to minimize the need for the
page table lookup operations.
3) Removal of some bogus performance improvements, that
mostly made the code more complex (tracking individual
page table page updates unnecessarily). Those improvements
actually hurt 386 processors perf (not that people who
worry about perf use 386 processors anymore :-)).
4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
day one. Some significant scalability issues are resolved
by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
address instead of just the physical address. This makes
certain pmap operations run much faster. This does
not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
performance *significantly*. DG helped and came up with most
of the solution for this one.
6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
pmap_test_bit();
pmap_clear_bit();
That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal. The
pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
instead of a phys address. This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
operation.
7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
keeping the cache footprint smaller.
blocked in a write() while waiting for the output to drain, sleep only
for tp->t_timeout, not forever. This only seems to happen when there is
either a modem lockup holding the hardware flow control down, or due to
some problem in the driver with processes attempting to write after the
modem has hung up (eg: elm, tf).
Saves about 280 butes of source per driver, 56 bytes in object size
and another 56 bytes moves from data to bss.
No functional change intended nor expected.
GENERIC should be about one k smaller now :-)

People who want them to break into the debugger can always set the

the beginning, in the (wrong) assumption that the SCSI controller must
always be of essential importance to the entire system.
make it more intelligible, improve the partially bogus locking, and
allow for a ``quick re-acquiration'' from a pending release of timer 0

This latter modification now finally allows to play XBoing over
