- VBE 3.0 says palette format resets to 6-bit mode when video mode changes.
We simply set 8-bit mode when we switch modes if the adapter supports it.
- VBE 3.0 also says if the mode is not VGA compatible, we must use VBE
function to save/restore palette. Otherwise, VGA function may be used.
Thus, reinstate the save/load palette functions only for non-VGA compatible
modes regardless of its palette format.

Right now if applications want to use the mouse on the command line,
they use sysmouse(4) and install a signal handler in the kernel to
deliver signals when mouse events arrive. This conflicts with my plan to
change to TERM=xterm, so implement proper VT200-style mouse input.
Because mouse input is now streamed through the TTY, it means you can
now SSH to another system on the console and use the mouse there as
well. The disadvantage of the VT200 mouse protocol, is that it doesn't
seem to generate events when moving the cursor. Only when pressing and
releasing mouse buttons.
There are different protocols as well, but this one seems to be most
commonly supported.

I don't want people to override the mutex when allocating a TTY. It has
to be there, to keep drivers like syscons happy. So I'm creating a
tty_alloc_mutex() which can be used in those cases. tty_alloc_mutex()
should eventually be removed.
The advantage of this approach, is that we can just remove a function,
without breaking the regular API in the future.
Apart from the 16 virtual terminals, Syscons allocates two device nodes
that should not really be TTYs, even though they are. One of them is
consolectl. In RELENG_7 and before, these device nodes are used in
single user mode. After I simplified input path, we only use this device
node to call ioctl() on (moused, Xorg, vidcontrol).
When you call ioctl() on consolectl, it will behave the same as being
called on the first window.
After I imported libteken into the source tree, I noticed syscons didn't
store the cursor position inside the terminal emulator, but inside the
virtual terminal stat. This is not very useful, because when you
implement more complex forms of line wrapping, you need to keep track of
more state than just the cursor position.
Because the kernel messages didn't share the same terminal emulator as
ttyv0, this caused a lot of strange things, like kernel messages being
misplaced and a missing notification to resize the terminal emulator for
kernel messages never to be resized when using vidcontrol.
This patch just removes kernel_console_ts and adds a special parameter
to te_puts to determine whether messages should be printed using regular
colors or the ones for kernel messages.

Some time ago I started working on a library called libteken, which is
terminal emulator. It does not buffer any screen contents, but only
keeps terminal state, such as cursor position, attributes, etc. It
should implement all escape sequences that are implemented by the
cons25 terminal emulator, but also a fair amount of sequences that are
present in VT100 and xterm.
A lot of random notes, which could be of interest to users/developers:
- Even though I'm leaving the terminal type set to `cons25', users can
do experiments with placing `xterm-color' in /etc/ttys. Because we
only implement a subset of features of xterm, this may cause
artifacts. We should consider extending libteken, because in my
opinion xterm is the way to go. Some missing features:
- Keypad application mode (DECKPAM)
- Character sets (SCS)
- libteken is filled with a fair amount of assertions, but unfortunately
we cannot go into the debugger anymore if we fail them. I've done
development of this library almost entirely in userspace. In
sys/dev/syscons/teken there are two applications that can be helpful
when debugging the code:
- teken_demo: a terminal emulator that can be started from a regular
xterm that emulates a terminal using libteken. This application can
be very useful to debug any rendering issues.
- teken_stress: a stress testing application that emulates random
terminal output. libteken has literally survived multiple terabytes
of random input.
- libteken also includes support for UTF-8, but unfortunately our input
layer and font renderer don't support this. If users want to
experiment with UTF-8 support, they can enable `TEKEN_UTF8' in
teken.h. If you recompile your kernel or the teken_demo application,
you can hold some nice experiments.
- I've left PC98 the way it is right now. The PC98 platform has a custom
syscons renderer, which supports some form of localised input. Maybe
we should port PC98 to libteken by the time syscons supports UTF-8?
- I've removed the `dumb' terminal emulator. It has been broken for
years. It hasn't survived the `struct proc' -> `struct thread'
conversion.
- To prevent confusion among people that want to hack on libteken:
unlike syscons, the state machines that parse the escape sequences are
machine generated. This means that if you want to add new escape
sequences, you have to add an entry to the `sequences' file. This will
cause new entries to be added to `teken_state.h'.
- Any rendering artifacts that didn't occur prior to this commit are by
accident. They should be reported to me, so I can fix them.

The syscons code disabled scroll lock inside sc_cnputs() if it's going
to print a system message. The code currently wants to process any TTY
output data as well, but we cannot do this, because the TTY lock is a
sleep mutex, while cnputs() picks up a spin mutex.
Disable the code for now. It solves a panic when a console message is
printed while scroll lock is enabled. One solution would be to
initialize a task structure here.

When I was hacking on uart(4) to make it work with the MPSAFE TTY layer,
I noticed there was a difference between the way syscons and uart work
with respect to consoles:
- The uart(4) driver sets cn_name to the corresponding ttyu%r node,
which means init(8) (which opens /dev/console) will have its output
redirected to /dev/ttyu%r. After /etc/rc is done, it can spawn a getty
on that device node as well.
- Syscons used a little different approach. Apart from the /dev/ttyv%r
nodes, it creates a /dev/consolectl node. This device node is used by
moused and others to deliver their data, but for some reason it also
acts as a TTY, which shares its stat structure with ttyv0. This device
node is used as a console (run conscontrol).
There are a couple advantages of this approach:
- Because we use two different TTY's to represent the 0th syscons
window, we allocate two sets of TTY buffers. Even if you don't use
/dev/consolectl after the system has booted (systems that don't run
moused), it seems the buffers are still allocated.
- We have to apply an evil hack to redirect input to /dev/consolectl.
Because each window (stat) is associated not associated with one TTY,
syscons solves this by redirecting all input to closed TTY's to
consolectl.
This means that opening /dev/ttyv0 while in single user mode will
probably cause strange things to happen with respect to keyboard input
redirection.
The first patch that I discussed with philip@ turned consolectl into a
symlink to ttyv0, but this was not a good idea, because in theory we
would want consolectl to be a simple device node, which contains all the
`privileged' ioctl()'s. Apart from that, it didn't work, because each
time /dev/ttyv0 got revoked, moused also lost its descriptor to deliver
input, which meant you had to plug out/in your mouse to make it work
again. This version just leaves the consolectl device the way it is. It
can still be used to write output to ttyv0, but it can no longer receive
any input.
In my opinion this patch is not a complete solution, but it's already a
step in the good direction. It would allow us to turn consolectl into a
special (non-TTY) device node in the far future. It shaves off 15 KB of
wasted TTY buffer space.
Discussed with: philip
The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

these days, so de-generalize the acquire_timer/release_timer api
to just deal with speakers.
The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()
and
timer_spkr_setfreq()
the last of which configures the timer to generate a tone of a given
frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.
Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.
Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.
Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.
This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.
Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.
In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode
the 1193182 and leave it at that. It's probably not important.
Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.
This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual
clock.c code and the prof_machdep.c on amd64 and i386, where I think
it would be smart to ask for help from the timecounters anyway [TBD].
