It has been observed that the problem is most apparent:
a) in notebook computers,
b) and/or in the systems with C&T video chips.
Define the new configuration option SC_BAD_FLICKER in the kernel
configuration file to remove outb()/outw() calls in question.
DOS partition type 15 (Extended DOS, LBA) as a container for

Fixed nearby bugs (in linux_alarm()):
- the itimer for the alarm was relative to the epoch instead of relative
to the boot time. This was harmless because the itimer's interval is 0.
- the seconds arg was not checked for validity before converting it to a
possibly different value.
- printf format errors.
Improvements:
Don't use splclock(). splsoftclock() suffices. Don't complicate things
by micro-optimizing interrupt latency.
Minor improvements:
Various micro-optimizations to exploit the specialness of the alarm itimer
and the value 0.
- ppbus now supports PLIP via the if_plip driver
- ieee1284 infrastructure added, including parallel-port PnP
- port microsequencer added, for scripting the sort of port I/O
that is common with parallel devices without endless calls up and down
through the driver structure.
- improved bus ownership behaviour among the ppbus-using drivers.
- improved I/O chipset feature detection
The vpo driver is now implemented using the microsequencer, leading to
some performance improvements as well as providing an extensive example
of its use.

saver and splash screen can all work properly with syscons. Note that
the splash screen option (SC_SPLASH_SCREEN) does not work yet, as it
requires additional code from msmith.
- Reorganized the splash screen code to match the latest development
in this area.
- Delay screen switch in `switch_scr()' until the screen saver is
stopped, if one is running,
- Start the screen saver immediately, if any, when the `saver' key is
pressed. (There will be another commit for `kbdcontrol' to support
this keyword in the keymap file.)
- Do not always stop the screen saver when mouse-related ioctls
are called. Stop it only if the mouse is moved or buttons are
clicked; don't stop it if any other mouse ioctls are called.
2. Added provision to write userland screen savers. (Contact me if you
are interested in writing one.)
- Added CONS_IDLE, CONS_SAVERMODE, and CONS_SAVERSTART ioctls to
support userland screen savers.
3. Some code clean-ups.
the screen mode is changed even if another vty has larger size.
Reallocate the buffer only when the new screen size is larger than

When bell is of "quiet" types, the console won't ring (or flush)
if the ringing process is in a background vty.

duration are set in hertz and msecs by kbdcontrol(1).
There will be a corresponding kbdcontrol patch.

and DSO_NOLABELS flags prevent searching for slices and labels
respectively. Current drivers don't set these flags. When
DSO_NOLABELS is set, the in-core label for the whole disk is cloned
to create an in-core label for each slice. This gives the correct
result (a good in-core label for the compatibility slice) if
DSO_ONESLICE is set or only one slice is found, but usually gives
broken labels otherwise, so DSO_ONESLICE should be set if DSO_NOLABELS
is set.
- Call isa_dmadone() whenever necessary to stop DMA and/or free bounce
buffers. Undead DMA corrupted the malloc freelist fairly consistently
in the following configuration: SLICE kernel, 2 floppy drives, no disk
in fd0, disk in fd1.
- Don't call fdc_reset() from fd_timeout(). Doing so gave an "extra"
interrupt which was usually misinterpreted as being for completion
of the next FDC command; the interrupt for completion of the next
FDC command was then usually misinterpreted... There were further
complications for interrupts latched by the soft-spl mechanism so
that they were delivered after all the h/w interrupts went away.
This caused at least wrong head settle delays and may be why the
FreeBSD floppy driver seems to munch floppies more than most floppy
drivers. The reset was unnecessary anyway in cases that didn't have
the bug described next, since is was repeated a little later for
the IOTIMEDOUT state. The state machine has complications to handle
resets correctly, so just use it.
- Don't call retrier() from fd_timeout(). The IOTIMEDOUT state needs
to be processed next, and it isn't valid to set to that state if
retrier() has aborted the current transfer. Doing so caused null
pointer panics after the previous bug was fixed.
Improved error handling:
- If an i/o is aborted, arrange to reset in the state machine before
doing the next i/o. New fdc flag for this. This fixes spurious
warnings and lengthy busy-waiting for the next i/o.
- Split STARTRECAL into RESETCOMPLETE and STARTRECAL and only check
for the results from reset if we actually reset. This fixes spurious
warnings for other paths to STARTRECAL. [Oops, it may break reset
handling for motor-off resets.]
Cleanups in fd_timeout():
- Renamed to fd_iotimeout() to make it clearer that it is only used
for i/o.
- Don't handle the bp == 0 case. This case can't happen for i/o.
- Don't check for controller-busy. We know it must be.
- Don't print anything. retrier() already prints too much for normal
errors.
- Fudge the state differently so that the state machine advances
fdc->retry and the status is invalid (perhaps this should fudge a
valid state like the one for WP).
- Style fixes.
fork_trampoline() if switchtime is valid. This fixes not accounting
for the time between the previous context switch and and the current
time (when the forked child starts up here) in most cases - the time
is now counted in the child's runtime. I think it actually fixes
all cases, and switchtime is always valid here, since there must have
been a context switch just before the forked child starts up. Some
code should be removed if this is correct. The check that switchtime
is valid sometimes gives a false negative because the check isn't
correct until the after the first context switch after the system
has been up for >= 1 second.

Cosmetic cleanup of the code to de-obfuscate it and make it easier

small part of a bug suite beginning in the SLICE probes but mostly in the
floppy driver. This is a quick fix: the auto case shouldn't be special;
DMA should also be stopped in isa_dma_release(); isa_dmastop() probably
shouldn't exist; common DMA registers should not be accessed without
locking.
controller reports a successful seek, it is very unlikely to report
seeking to a cylinder other than the one requested, but we check for
this, and botched the error handling for the requested_cylinder != 0
case. This error happened when the bug fixed in rev.1.52 of <sys/buf.h>
caused the head of buffer queue to change to one starting on a different
cylnder - the requested cylinder was found, but it wasn't what we
thought we requested. The fix is simply to arrange to reset the state
machine.
Corruption of the buffer queue seems to only have been a problem in the
floppy driver. Other drivers dequeue the head of the queue before doing
physical i/o on it, so the corruption at worse broke the elevator sort
order. Dequeueing breaks it anyway.
These asm statments are not quite as pessimal as when I complained
about them in rev.1.9 of audio.c. They seem to be only 40% slower
than the C version on P5's and the same speed on K6's.

printf format broken by this. The old math emulator now compiles
cleanly on i386's with 64-bit longs. It may even work, provided
suword() doesn't actually write a long.
