When using the ALT+CTRL+ESC sequence to break into kdb, the keyboard is
completely borked when you return. watch(8) shows that it's working, but
it's inserting escape sequences.
Further investigation revealed that VT_ALT_TO_ESC_HACK is the default and
directly conflicts with this sequence, so upon return from the debugger
ALKED is set.
If they triggered the break to debugger, it's safe to assume they didn't
mean to use VT_ALT_TO_ESC_HACK, so just unset it to reduce the surprise when
the keyboard seems non-functional upon return.

Currently the CONS_HISTORY and CONS_CLRHIST ioctls modify the state of the
active terminal instead of the terminal against which the ioctl was issued.
Because of the way vidcontrol(1) works, these are the same in most cases.
But a poorly-timed window switch can make them differ. This is reproducible
by issuing e.g. 'vidcontrol -s 2 && vidcontrol -C' to switch from vty 1 to
vty 2; teken will reset the cursor position on vty 1 but vt(4) will clear
the history buffer of vty 2, producing an interesting state of affairs.

This effectively reverts r355935, but is functionally equivalent. We gain no
benefit from storing the index and repeatedly fetching the keyboard with
`kbd_get_keyboard` when we need it. We'll be notified when it's going away
so we can clean up the pointer.
All existing references were trivially converted. Only once instance
actually needed the index.
With absolutely no keyboards attached and no kbdmux in kernel, we descend
down this error path. 0 is a valid keyboard index, so leaving
vd->vd_keyboard at 0 when there's no keyboard found is objectively wrong as
later attachment of a keyboard will fail -- it gets index 0, and vt thinks
it's already using that keyboard.
This is decidedly the corniest of corner cases, but it's easy enough to get
correct that we should do so.
Tested in a kernel without atkbdc, atkbd, psm, kbdmux, ukbd, hyperv then
loading ukbd post-boot and attaching a usb keyboard.
This change enables the use of OpenFirmware Console (ofwcons), even when VGA is
available, allowing early kernel messages to be seen, that is important in case
of crashes before VGA console initialization.
This is specially useful in virtualized environments, where the user/developer
doesn't have full control of the virtualization engine (e.g. OpenStack).
The old behavior is preserved by default and, in order to use ofwcons, a few
tunables that have been introduced need to be set:
- hw.ofwfb.disable=1 - disable OFW FrameBuffer device
- machdep.ofw.mtx_spin=1 - change PPC OFW mutex to SPIN type, to match kernel
console's mutex type
- debug.quiesce_ofw=0 - don't call OFW quiesce, needed to keep ofwcons I/O

The TUNABLE_INT_FETCH is macro around getenv_int() and we will get
return value 0 or 1 for failure or success, we can use it to decide
which background color to use.
If there is an attempt to switch from a process-owned VT to a closed VT,
then vt(4) first requests the process to release its VT and only then
realizes that the target VT is closed and, so, the switch is not
possible. So, the driver does not actually do any switch, but at the
same time the owning process is not notified about that and it does not
re-acquire the VT.
This change adds an early check for the target VT state, so that the
switch can be refused before the process coordination dance.
On top of that, the code now checks for a failure of vt_window_switch()
and calls vt_window_postswitch() for the current VT if it is in the
process mode.
Test Plan:
- configure VT1 - VT8 (ttyv0 - ttyv7) to be text consoles (run getty)

Using the latest NVIDIA driver, upon resuming from suspend with X

that were running triggered a number of error messages from the NVIDIA

This occurred because the vt efifb back-end did not signal the X server
to release the display before suspending (or to re-acquire it after
resuming). The NVIDIA driver includes code for smoothly shutting down
and re-initializing the GPU, which was not getting called.
Since the NVIDIA driver doesn't currently support framebuffer devices
and vt is forced to fall back to the efifb back-end, add vd_suspend and
vd_resume members to connect the suspend/resume path. This ensures the
X server is properly able to re-initialize the display.

values to this cache and don't re-draw the characters if they haven't changed.
When invalidating the display, clear this cache in order to force characters
to be redrawn; also force full redraws between suspend/resume pairs since odd
artifacts can otherwise result.
When scrolling the display (which is where most time is spent within the vt
driver) this yields a significant performance improvement if most lines are
less than the width of the terminal, since this avoids re-drawing blanks on
top of blanks.
(Note that "re-drawing" here includes writing to the VGA text mode buffer; on
virtualized systems this can be extremely slow since it triggers a glyph
being rendered onto a 640x480 screen).
On a c5.4xlarge EC2 instance (with emulated text mode VGA) this cuts the time
spent in vt(4) during the kernel boot from 1200 ms to 700ms; on my laptop

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().

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

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
