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.

As clearly mentioned on the mailing lists, there is a list of drivers
that have not been ported to the MPSAFE TTY layer yet. Remove them from
the kernel configuration files. This means people can now still use
these drivers if they explicitly put them in their kernel configuration
file, which is good.
People should keep in mind that after August 10, these drivers will not
work anymore. Even though owners of the hardware are capable of getting
these drivers working again, I will see if I can at least get them to a
compilable state (if time permits).
Now that st_rdev is being automatically generated by the kernel, there
is no need to define static major/minor numbers for the iodev and
memdev. We still need the minor numbers for the memdev, however, to
distinguish between /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

Much of this is related to <sys/clock.h>, which should really have

In general the kernel does not know about minutes, hours, days,
timezones, daylight savings time, leap-years and such. All that
is theoretically a matter for userland only.
Parts of kernel code does however care: badly designed filesystems
store timestamps in local time and RTC chips almost universally
track time in a YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, and sometimes in local
timezone instead of UTC. For this we have <sys/clock.h>

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].

- Add a new intr_event method ie_assign_cpu() that is invoked when the MI
code wishes to bind an interrupt source to an individual CPU. The MD
code may reject the binding with an error. If an assign_cpu function
is not provided, then the kernel assumes the platform does not support
binding interrupts to CPUs and fails all requests to do so.
- Bind ithreads to CPUs on their next execution loop once an interrupt
event is bound to a CPU. Only shared ithreads are bound. We currently
leave private ithreads for drivers using filters + ithreads in the
INTR_FILTER case unbound.
- A new intr_event_bind() routine is used to bind an interrupt event to
a CPU.
- Implement binding on amd64 and i386 by way of the existing pic_assign_cpu
PIC method.
- For x86, provide a 'intr_bind(IRQ, cpu)' wrapper routine that looks up
an interrupt source and binds its interrupt event to the specified CPU.
MI code can currently (ab)use this by doing:
intr_bind(rman_get_start(irq_res), cpu);
however, I plan to add a truly MI interface (probably a bus_bind_intr(9))
where the implementation in the x86 nexus(4) driver would end up calling
intr_bind() internally.

The reason for this change is that previously all bus space

The upcoming support for Book E, and in particular the E500

embedded peripherals are in the native byte-order.
With this change, there's no distinction between I/O port
