- Move setting the chip configuration we use and invalidating the
cache variables to creator_set_mode() and set the V_ADP_MODECHANGE

psm(4), ukbd(4), ums(4) and usb(4) on by default. Modulo some nits with
the most annoying one probably being USB keyboards no longer working at
the OFW boot prompt after halting FreeBSD these drivers work fine on
sparc64 including X and there's nothing left that I'd consider a show-
stopper. I.e. graphical consoles on sun4u machines should either work
out of the box or by plugging in a card that is supported by either
creator(4) or machfb(4). The exception obviously are SBus-only machines
without UPA slots like some Ultra 1 (but which also still lack support
in other areas) and certain Exx0 (but which probably are mainly used
with serial consoles anyway). I'll try to add a cgsix(4) for these later
as Sun CG6 cards are probably the most common SBus framebuffer cards in
sun4u machines. I however don't see much sense in adding drivers for the
dozen of SBus framebuffers that were destined for sparc v8 machines.
The rest of the USB drivers aren't enabled as I'm only aware of ukbd(4)

- Drop creator_set_mode() and move the relevant parts to creator_fill_rect()

make sure that creator_set_mode() was called before creator_fill_rect()
or creator_putc() are used and matches better what Xorg does.
- Fix a bug in the handling of the FBIOSCURSOR IOCTL; the code was meant
to return ENODEV for all invocations expect when used to disable the
cursor and not just when used for enabling the cursor.
- In case the adapter is the OFW stdout move its OFW cursor to the start
of the last line on halt so OFW output doesn't get intermixed with what
FreeBSD left on the screen. With hindsight this is what the faking of a
hardware cursor which was removed in the last revision really was about,
i.e. to keep the OFW updated about the current cursor position. The new
approach however is simpler while producing the same result and doesn't
cause the first letter of the OFW output to be turned into a blank and
a newline.
- Add variable names to the prototypes of creator_cursor_*() which were

- Replace "graphics cards" with "framebuffers" in the description
of creator(4) in order to make it uniform with the description of
machfb(4) and the latter occur both on-board and as add-on cards.
- Use register macros instead of magic values in the code. [1]
- Check the return values of OF_getprop() and other stuff that actually
can fail.
- Let the unimplemented video driver methods return ENODEV rather
than 0 so other code isn't tricked into thinking a certain operation
was successfull. In case of e.g. the video driver creator_ioctl()
this caused vidcontrol(1) to return random garbage information.
Remove the TODO macros in the unimplemented video driver methods
which did a printf("%s: unimplemented\n", __func__). Under certain
circumstances these managed to invoke a printf() when a low-level
console device wasn't attached, yet, causing a Fast Data Access MMU
Miss. These macros were only really usefull for development anyway.
- Set the struct video_adapter and struct video_info va_flags and
vi_flags etc. as appropriate.
- In creator_configure() don't rely on hitting the node which is the
chosen console device first when searching the OFW tree for adapters
compatible with this driver. Instead just check whether the chosen
console device is a viable target for this driver. Targets that are
not the console (including additional cards in multi-head configs)
will be attached through creator_upa_attach(). I think this how the
code in creator_configure() was actually meant to work.
Honour the VIO_PROBE_ONLY flag and don't initialise and register the
console device twice when creator_configure() is called a second time
during sc_probe_unit().
Let creator_configure() return the number of the found adapters,
i.e. 1 in case probing succeeds, as it's expected. The return values
of video adapter configure functions however currently aren't checked
so this doesn't make a difference at the moment.
- In creator_upa_attach() don't rely on probing and attaching the
adapter which is the console first, in case there are multiple
adpaters and one of them is the console this could lead into using
the video adapter unit 0 twice.
- Make the check for DACs with inverted cursor control a bit more
precise and actually honour that information when turning the cursor
on or off. Add a helper function creator_cursor_enable() for this
in order to keep code duplication low. [1]
- Don't bother with faking a hardware cursor in case a device is the
console. Apparently this was meant to start kernel output right after
where the firmware left. In general this isn't worth the fuzz and
also had no real effect as creator_set_mode() did clear the screen
in any case, not just in case a device was not the console.
- Implement creator_fill_rect() and use it to actually blank the
display in creator_blank_display() when the mode is V_DISPLAY_BLANK,
moving blanking the display out of creator_set_mode(). Use it also
to implement creator_set_border() so the border can be re-drawn
when switching to a VTY from X, exiting X, etc. (which leaves us
with a black border most of the time).
- Implement the video driver creator_ioctl(), moving the implementation
of the IOCTL interface from the fbN CDEV version of creator_ioctl()
into the video driver version and use the latter to implement the
former. Use fb_commonioctl() to handle most of the FBIO IOCTLs.
This gives programs like vidcontrol(1) which use the video driver
creator_ioctl() a chance of working.
Implement turning off the cursor via the FBIOSCURSOR IOCTL, which
Xorg uses to in order to inform the OS that it's taking over the
cursor. In creator_putm() check whether the cursor is enabled and
(re-)install it if necessary, moving installing the cursor out of
creator_init() and into a helper function creator_cursor_install().
This fixes the missing mouse pointer when switching to a VTY from X,
exiting X, etc.

actually also fits atkbdc(4) better to just start at the first parent

- Add support for storing the century in MK48TXX_WDAY_CB on MK48Txx with
extended registers when the MK48TXX_NO_CENT_ADJUST flag is set (and which
is termed somewhat confusing as it actually means don't manually adjust
the century in the driver).
- Add the MI part of interfacing the watchdog functionality of MK48Txx with
extended registers with watchdog(9). This is inspired by the SunOS/Solaris
drivers for the 'eeprom' devices also having watchdog support. I actually
expected this to work out of the box on Sun Exx00 machines with 'eeprom'
devices which have a 'watchdog-enable' property. On terminal count of the
the watchdog timer however only the MK48TXX_FLAGS_WDF bit rises but the
reset signal and the interrupt respectively (depending on whether the
MK48TXX_WDOG_WDS bit of the chip and the MK48TXX_WDOG_ENABLE_WDS flag
of the driver respectively is set) goes nowhere. Apparently passing the
reset signal on to the WDR line of the CPUs has to be enabled somewhere
else but we don't have documentation for the Exx00 specific controllers.
I decided to commit this nevertheless so it can be enabled in the eeprom(4)
front-end later in e.g. 6.0-STABLE without breaking the API. Besides the
Exx00 the watchdog part of the MK48Txx should also work on E250 and E450.

compatibility with ISA devices while in fact all known EBus devices
actually use memory space turned out to be not a good idea as so far
there is only the 'rtc' device known to show up either on an EBus or
ISA bus but not on any of the other busses used on sparc64. However
there are quite a couple of them that show up on either EBus, FireHose
or SBus. In order to save extra code in the respective drivers switch
ebus(4) to actually use SYS_RES_MEMORY for the memory resources of
its children. At least for transition still accept SYS_RES_IOPORT
and silently change it to SYS_RES_MEMORY. [1]

the iteration variable as the RID when adding the respective resource
to the child via bus_set_resource(). In case a device has both I/O

the child, e.g. its first memory resource might end up as RID 1.
To solve this mimic resource_list_add_next() via resource_list_find()
and bus_set_resource(); we can't just use resource_list_add_next()
here as this would circumvent the limit checks in isa_set_resource()
of the common ISA code.
This however is more or less a theoretical problem so far as all known
ISA devices on sparc64 soley use I/O space.

- Merge ncr53c9x.c rev. 1.111 from NetBSD (partial):
On reset, clear state flags and the msgout queue.
In NetBSD code to notify the upper layer (i.e. CAM in FreeBSD) on reset
was also added with this revision. This is believed to be not necessary
in FreeBSD and was not merged.
This makes ncr53c9x.c to be in sync with NetBSD up to rev. 1.114.
- Conditionalize the LSI64854 support on sbus(4) only instead of sbus(4)
and esp(4) as it's also required for the 'dma', 'espdma' and 'ledma'
busses/devices as well as the 'SUNW,bpp' device (printer port) which
all hang off of sbus(4).
- Add a driver for the 'dma', 'espdma' and 'ledma' (pseudo-)busses/
devices. These busses and devices actually represent the LSI64854 DMA
engines for the ESP SCSI and LANCE Ethernet controllers found on the
SBus of Ultra 1 and SBus add-on cards. With 'espdma' and 'ledma' the
'esp' and 'le' devices hang off of the respective DMA bus instead of
directly from the SBus. The 'dma' devices are either also used in this
manner or on some add-on cards also as a companion device to an 'esp'
device which also hangs off directly from the SBus. With the latter
variant it's a bit tricky to glue the DMA engine to the core logic of
the respective 'esp' device. With rev. 1.35 of sbus.c we are however
guaranteed that such a 'dma' device is probed before the respective
'esp' device which simplifies things a lot. [1]
- In the esp(4) SBus front-end read the part-unique ID code of Fast-SCSI
capable chips the right way. This fixes erroneously detecting some
chips as FAS366 when in fact they are not. Add explicit checks for the
FAS100A, FAS216 and FAS236 variants instead treating all of these as
ESP200. That way we can correctly set the respective Fast-SCSI config
bits instead of driving them out of specs. This includes adding the
FAS100A and FAS236 variants to the NCR53C9x core code. We probably
still subsume some chip variants as ESP200 while in fact they are
another variant which however shouldn't really matter as this will
only happen when these chips are driven at 25MHz or less which implies
not being able to run Fast-SCSI. [3]
- Add a workaround to the NCR53C9x interrupt handler which ignores the
stray interrupt generated by FAS100A when doing path inquiry during
boot and which otherwiese would trigger a panic.
- Add support for the 'esp' devices hanging off of a 'dma' or 'espdma'
busses or which are companions of 'dma' devices to esp(4). In case of
the variants that hang off of a DMA device this is a bit hackish as
esp(4) then directly uses the softc of the respective parent to talk
to the DMA engine. It might make sense to add an interface for this
in order to implement this in a cleaner way however it's not yet clear
how the requirements for the LANCE Ethernet controllers are and the
hack works for now. [2]
This effectively adds support for the onboard SCSI controller in
Ultra 1 as well as most of the ESP-based SBus add-on cards to esp(4).
With this the code for supporting the Performance Technologies SBS430
SBus SCSI add-on cards is also largely in place the remaining bits
were however omitted as it's unclear from the NetBSD how to couple
the DMA engine and the core logic together for these cards.

drivers for the various subordinate busses so they don't need to fiddle
with the OFW node of their parent themselves. As SBus busses hang of the
nexus and we don't use the ofw_bus interface for nexus devices, yet, this

a lower order. This saves us from dealing with different probe orders

- In tick_start() don't reset the tick counter of the boot processor to

tick_start() is called on the BSP the APs synchronise with the tick
counter of the BSP in mp_startup(). Resetting the tick counter of the
BSP in tick_start() probably also was the cause of problems seen when
using the CPU tick counter as timecounter on SMP machines.
Not resetting the tick counter of the BSP in mp_startup() makes the
tick counters and tick interrupts between the BSP and APs be pretty
much in sync as it's supposed to be. This also means there's no longer
a real reason to have separate tick_start() and tick_start_ap() so
merge them and zap tick_start_ap(). This is also a first step in
simplifying the interface to the tick counters in preparation to use
alternate clock hardware where available.

critical_enter() and critical_exit() are now solely a mechanism for
deferring kernel preemptions. They no longer have any affect on
interrupts. This means that standalone critical sections are now very
cheap as they are simply unlocked integer increments and decrements for the
common case.
Spin mutexes now use a separate KPI implemented in MD code: spinlock_enter()
and spinlock_exit(). This KPI is responsible for providing whatever MD
guarantees are needed to ensure that a thread holding a spin lock won't
be preempted by any other code that will try to lock the same lock. For
now all archs continue to block interrupts in a "spinlock section" as they
did formerly in all critical sections. Note that I've also taken this
opportunity to push a few things into MD code rather than MI. For example,
critical_fork_exit() no longer exists. Instead, MD code ensures that new
threads have the correct state when they are created. Also, we no longer
try to fixup the idlethreads for APs in MI code. Instead, each arch sets
the initial curthread and adjusts the state of the idle thread it borrows
in order to perform the initial context switch.
This change is largely a big NOP, but the cleaner separation it provides
will allow for more efficient alternative locking schemes in other parts
of the kernel (bare critical sections rather than per-CPU spin mutexes
for per-CPU data for example).

inevitable component in Sun Exx00 machines and provides serial ports,
NVRAM and TOD amongst others which are handled by uart(4) and eeprom(4)
respectively). This driver currently only prints out information about
the chassis on attach and allows to blink the 'Cycling' LED (which is
duplicated on the front panel) of the clock board just like fhc(4) does
for the other boards. The device name for the LED is /dev/led/clockboard.

bus_generic_rl_release_resource() for the bus_release_resource() method
instead of a local copy.
- Correctly handle pass-through allocations in fhc_alloc_resource().
- In case the board model can't be determined just print "unknown model"
so the physical slot number is reported in any case.
- Add support for blinking the 'Cycling' LED of boards on a fhc(4) hanging
of off the nexus (i.e. all boards except the clock board) via led(4).
All boards have at least 3 controllable status LEDs, 'Power', 'Failure'
and 'Cycling'. While the 'Cycling' LED is suitable for signaling from
the OS the others are better off being controlled by the firmware.
The device name for the 'Cycling' LED of each board is /dev/led/boardX
where X is the physical slot number of the board. [1]
