This fixes a bug where scroll lock would not work for tty #0 when using
vt_vga's textmode. The reason was that this window is created with a
static 256x100 buffer, larger than the real size of 80x25.
Now, in vt_change_font() and vt_compute_drawable_area(), we still
perform operations even of the window has no font loaded (this is the
case in textmode here vw->vw_font == NULL). One of these operation
resizes the buffer accordingly.
In vt_compute_drawable_area(), we take the terminal size as is (ie.
80x25) for the drawable area.
The font argument to vt_set_border() is removed (it was never used) and
the code now uses the computed drawable area instead of re-doing its own
calculation.

There were two issues:
1. The area given to vt_is_cursor_in_area() was adding the drawable
area offset, something already handled by this function.
2. The cursor was shifted on the screen by the offset of this area
and thus was misplaced or not erased. Furthermore, when reaching
the bottom or right borders, the cursor was either totally
removed or not erased correctly.

The timer is restarted whenever a window buffer is marked as dirty or
the mouse cursor moves.
There's still room for improvement. For instance, we should not mark a
window buffer as dirty when this window isn't displayed.

They are used when a panic occurs or when entering a DDB session for

cngrab() forces a vt-switch to the console window, no matter if the
original window is another terminal or an X session. However, cnungrab()
doesn't vt-switch back to the original window currently.

With the current implementation, this allows an X11 server to tell
the console it switches a particular window in "graphics mode". This
information is used by the mouse handling code to ignore sysmouse events
in the window taken by the X server: only him should receive those
events.

... not just the visible part.
This fixes a bug where, when switching from eg. vt_vga to vt_fb (ie. the
resolution goes up), the originally hidden, uninitialized area of the
buffer is displayed on the screen. This leads to a missing text cursor
when it's over an unitialized area.
This was also visible when selecting text: the uninitialized area was
not highlighted.
Internally, this area was zeroed: characters were all 0x00000000,
meaning the foreground and background color was black. Now, everything
is filled with a space with a gray foreground color, like the visible
area.
While here, remove the check for the mute flag and always use
TERMINAL_NORM_ATTR as the character attribute (ie. gray foreground,
black background).

This fixes a "General protection fault" in vt_vga, where

It's replaced by vd_bitblt_text_t, which gives more context to the

There were situations where the cursor was not erased/redrawn or its
position was marked as dirty even though it's not displayed. The code is
now more straightforward.
At the same, add a function to determine if the cursor covers a given
area. This is used by backends to know if they need to draw the cursor.
This new function should be paired with a new state in struct vt_device,
called vd_mshown, which indicates if the cursor should be displayed.
This again simplifies vd_bitblt_text_t callback's API.

In textmode, no font is loaded, thus the page fault in
vt_mark_mouse_position_as_dirty() when it wants the font width/height.
For now, create a fake area for the textmode. This needs to be modified
if vt_vga gains mouse support in textmode.
While here, fix a build failure when SC_NO_CUTPASTE is defined:
vt_mark_mouse_position_as_dirty() must not be included in this case.

The previous global offset, based on the last loaded font, had no
meaning for other windows. This caused a shifted text area, often partly
out-of-screen.

This fixes a bug when two windows use different fonts, but a longer-term
solution is required. The dirty area should be stored as pixels, not
character cells, because such coordinates don't have the same meaning in
all windows, when using different fonts.

Compared to the deprecated vd_bitbltchr_t callback, vd_bitblt_text_t
receives:
o the whole text buffer
o the dirty area
o the mouse cursor (map, position, colors)
This allows the backend to perform optimization on how to draw things.
The goal is to remove vd_bitbltchr_t and vd_putchar_t, once all driver
are converted (only vt_vga is included in this commit).
In vt_vga, this allows to draw the text and the cursor in one pass,
without ever reading from video memory (because it has all the context).
The main benefit is the speed improvement: no more slideshow during
boot!
Other bugs fixed in vt_vga are:
o left-most characters are drawn properly (the left-most pixels were
missing with bold characters and some wide letters such as 'm')
o no more black square around the cursor
o no cursor flickering when the text is scrolling
There are still many problems to fix: the known issues are marked with
"FIXME" inside the code.

The goal is to clear the video memory, in case an application drew to

At the same time, "w" and "h" members are now called "width" and

Later, we just see if the "struct mouse_cursor" pointer is set. This
avoids the need to mess with all the conditions several times; this has

While here, rename the variable "m" to a more meaningful "cursor", like

This fixes bad looking refresh when switching window: squares instead
of text, flashing screen, and so on. In the worst case, vt_flush() came
at a very inappropriate timing and the screen was not refreshed at all
(leaving squares all over the place).
This doesn't fix the flickering of the screen with vt_vga, because the
sync signal is temporarily stopped and the video memory is cleared.

Like r270273, this has no effect for now, because the cursor is always

Currently, this has no effect, because the cursor is always redrawn
anyway. But this will be useful after improvements to the vd_bitbltchr_t
callback API.
The vt_device structure members used to store the position of the cursor
as of the last redraw are renamed from vd_mdirty{x,y} to vd_mold{x,y}.
The associated comment is fixed too. Also, their value is now expressed
in pixels, not in character columns/row.

This avoids unnecessary redraw. In particular, during boot, where the
cursor is disabled and its fake position is [0;0], this triggered a
refresh of the whole screen each time vt_flush() is called.

Before the global flag was set/unset using the CONS_MOUSECTL ioctl, and
the per-window flag through the MOUSE_SETLEVEL or MOUSE_SETMODE ioctls.
Also, if the cursor is already enabled/disabled, return immediatly. This
avoids to reset the cursor's position to the center of the screen.
This matches syscons' behavior.
While here, remove a trailing space and a redundant variable
declaration.
Rename vt_generate_vga_palette() to vt_generate_cons_palette() and
change it to build a palette where the color index is the same than in
terminal escape codes, not the VGA index. That's what TCHAR_CREATE()
uses and passes to vt(4).
The main differences between both orders are:
o Blue and red are swapped (1 <-> 4)
o Yellow and cyan are swapped (3 <-> 6)
The problem remained unnoticed, because the RGB bit indexes passed to
vt_generate_vga_palette() were reversed. This inversion was cancelled
by the colors inversions in the generated palette. For instance, red
(0xff0000) and blue (0x0000ff) have bytes in opposite order, but were
swapped in the palette. But after changing the value of blue (see last
paragraph), the modified color was in fact the red one.
This commit includes a fix to creator_vt.c, submitted by Nathan
Whitehorn: fb_cmsize is set to 16. Before this, the generated palette
would be overwritte. This fixes colors on sparc64 with a Creator3D
adapter.
While here, tune the palette to better match console colors and improve
the readability (especially the dark blue).

In several functions, vtbuf_putchar() in particular, the lock on vtbuf
is acquired twice:
1. once by the said functions;
2. once in vtbuf_dirty().
Now, vtbuf_dirty_locked() and vtbuf_dirty_cell_locked() allow to
acquire that lock only once.
This improves the input speed of vt(4). To measure the gain, a
50,000-lines file was displayed on the console using cat(1). The time
taken by cat(1) is reported below:
o On amd64, with vt_vga:
- before: 1.0"
- after: 0.5"
o On sparc64, with creator_vt:
- before: 13.6"
