LINT:
- Added the psm options PSM_HOOKAPM and PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND.
- Added comments on the flag 0x20 for syscons.
- Clarified descriptions on the flags (0x02, 0x04) regarding the cursor
shape in syscons.
cursor (CHAR_CURSOR)
1. Reduced the number of calls to set_destructive_cursor(). The
destructive cursor produced noticeable overhead on the system. It was
caused by draw_cursor_image() calling set_destructive_cursor() every
so often.
set_destructive_cursor() absolutely needs to be called when
a) the character code under the cursor has changed either because
the cursor moved or because the screen was updated or the mouse
pointer overlapped the cursor.
b) Or a new font has been loaded,
c) or the video mode has been changed,
d) or the cursor shape has been changed,
e) or the user switched virtual consoles.
2. Turn off the configuration flag CHAR_CURSOR (destructive cursor) in
scattach() if we have a non-VGA card. The destructive cursor works
only for VGA.
3. Removed redundant calls to set_destructive_cursor() in some places.
4. Fixed the "disappearing mouse pointer" problem. The mouse pointer
looked hidden under the destructive cursor when it overlaped the cursor.
A slightly different version of the patch was reviewd and OKed by
sos and ache.
If the configuration option PSM_HOOKAPM is defined and the APM device
is available, the psm driver will issue the ENABLE command to the
pointing device at the resume APM event if the device was open when
the system went into suspended mode. If the option
PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND is specified in addition to PSM_HOOKAPM, the
driver will try to reset the pointing device before sending the
ENABLE command.
Built-in PS/2-type pointing devices in some laptops (all the reports I
heard were about Toshiba models) sometimes don't work immediately
after the system is resumed. The device MAY become available after a
while. The system may exhibit the same symptom in other OS's too
(no, FreeBSD is not the only OS that is suffering :-).
I don't know the correct way of solving this yet, but it's been
reported that issuing the ENABLE command after resumption wakes up the
pointing device.
Without PSM_HOOKAPM, the psm driver behaves in the same way as before.
Problem reported in the bsd-nomads mailing list in Japan.
fix stopped it being used in all cases, because substitution on unset
variables does not work.
When profiling, put -malign-functions=4 in CFLAGS instead of in PROF.
This fixes the histogram counts for profiling support functions. It
gives bogus but harmless extra alignment for genassym etc.
Add a new configuration flag, KBD_NORESET (0x20) to tell scprobe() not
to reset the keyboard.
IBM ThinkPad 535 has the `Fn' key with which the user can perform
certain functions in conjunction with other keys. For example, `Fn' +
PageUP/PageDOWN adjust speaker volume, `Fn' + Home/End change
brightness of LCD screen. It can also be used to suspend the system.
It appears that these functions are implemented at the keyboard level
or the keyboard controller level and totally independent from BIOS or
OS. But, if the keyboard is reset (as is done in scprobe()), they
become unavailable. (There are other laptops which have similar
functions associated with the `Fn' key. But, they aren't affected by
keyboard reset.)
ThinkPad 535 doesn't have switches or buttons to adjust brightness and
volume, or to put the system into the suspend mode. Therefore, it is
essential to preserve these `Fn' key functions in FreeBSD. The new
flag make scprobe() skip keyboard reset.
If this flag is not set, scprobe() behaves in the same say as before.
(If we only knew a way to detect ThinkPad 535, we could skip keyboard
reset automatically, but...)
- added Xcpustop IPI code to support stop_cpus()/restart_cpus().
it is off by default, enable via smptests.h:TEST_CPUSTOP
intr_machdep.h:
- moved +ICULEN to lower level.
- added entry for Xcpustop.
General cleanup.
New functions to stop/start CPUs via IPIs:
- int stop_cpus( u_int map );
- int restart_cpus( u_int map );
Turned off by default, enabled via smptests.h:TEST_CPUSTOP.
Current version has a BUG, perhaps a deadlock?
This variable is a bitmap showing all CPUs present EXCEPT the CPU
owning the variable. In other words, it is equal to the global bitmap
'all_cpus' minus its own bit.
Till now NMIs would be ignored. Now an NMI is caught by the BSP.
APs still ignore NMI, am working on code to allow a CPU to stop other CPUs
via an IPI.

relevant on systems where "panic: kmem_malloc: kmem_map too small" is a
problem.

Also, at the same time, be a *bit* optimizing and don't allocate any
"stackgrap" memory if we're not going to use it.
This is another Oracle-discovered problem.

the XENIX version is packed, and two bytes smaller than ours. So, define
the structure, and have it packed. I used the __attribte__((packed))
modifier for this; I could also have surrounded the struct definition with
#pragma pack(2) -- but that would have meant making ibcs2_timeb's definition
outside the function. This may need to be revisited if we ever want to
compile with a compiler other than gcc. (I also used 'unsigned long'
instead of 'time_t' because I am writing to match an external specification
-- and the definition of time_t could change.)

This eliminates a lot of #ifdef SMP type code. Things like _curproc reside
in a data page that is unique on each cpu, eliminating the expensive macros
like: #define curproc (SMPcurproc[cpunumber()])
There are some unresolved bootstrap and address space sharing issues at
present, but Steve is waiting on this for other work. There is still some
strictly temporary code present that isn't exactly pretty.
This is part of a larger change that has run into some bumps, this part is
standalone so it should be safe. The temporary code goes away when the
full idle cpu support is finished.

The kernel with USERCONFIG_BOOT and VISUAL_USERCONFIG option presents
the user the kernel configuration menu upon boot.
The user can navigate the menu with cursor keys. I think it would be
nice if the user can navigate and select a menu item with regular keys
as well, so that the user who is using a serial console which is not
so capable of esc sequences still can choose a menu item.
With the following patch we can select an item by typing an item
number, 1, 2, or 3, or mnemonic `s' to skip UserConfig, 'v' to enter
the visual mode, and `c' to start the CLI mode. `p', `u', `n', and `d'
will move cursor up and down.

This is rather strange assumption. If there is no dispaly adapter, the
console driver cannot be any good...
In this patch, scinit() is split into two parts; the first part is
now called scvidprobe() which will detect the presence of video card
at the CGA or MONO buffer address and returns TRUE if found. It is
called during sccnprobe() and scprobe(). Both will fail if no video
card is found.
The second part, whose name stays the same as before, scinit(), is
called from sccninit() and scattach() to complete initialization of
the found video card.
The keyboard probe code is moved from scprobe() to sckbdprobe();
scprobe() now calls scvidprobe() and sckbdprobe() to carry out device
probe. (This is rather a cosmetic change, but it sure makes the code
look better organized.)

Reduced the command line buffer size yet again from 4096 to 1024. It is
oversized to defend against overrun in gets(), but data space is starting
to run out so the buffer size can't be as grossly oversized as before.
