case, software cursor now optional case. Driver must provide
raw things (what hardware do for us, exactly) as default case,
all driver features must be _optional_. Modern VGAs have internal
configuration utilities to set cursor shape/blinking which stored
into cards ROM, and syscons nuke out such features completely
by forcing software cursor. Moreover, software cursor is hard
to distinguish on standouted (or near standouted) fields and
tends to disappearse from the screen.
Set "flags 0x4" to enable software cursor now.
o Cleanup screen savers.
o Don't draw cursor if saver or blinker is active.
o Duplicated code moved to functons.
o Add more checks for blinker in progress, character lost otherwise
when blinker restore old contents.
o Reduce blinking counter to 3, too slow in old variant.
o Fix timeout code in scrn_timer(), old variant can reenter iself,
if action takes too long time.
o Disable visual bell for scroll lock mode, saved screen

Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)
Obtained from:
sio.c and sioreg.c changed to allow autodetecting the RB_SERIAL flag
passed by the boot blocks so that the kernel can switch to 'serial
console' mode automagically. 'options COMCONSOLE' can still be specified
to force the kernel to always use the serial port as a console.
CONUNIT and CONADDR can also be specified in the kernel config file
if the user wants to shift the console to a different port.

sigreturn() sometimes failed for ordinary returns from signal handlers.
Failures of ordinary returns "can't happen" and are badly handled.
"Temporary" fix: allow users to corrupt PSL_RF. This is fairly
harmless. A correct fix would involve saving the old %eflags (and
perhaps the old segment registers) where the user can't get at them.
WDTR, and message reject handlers so they don't need to exist in the
sequencer. All three of these cases are not on the critical path, so it
makes little sense to use up precious sequencer ram for them.
properly from the beginning:
1) The `kern_devconf' struct should be a part of the driver's
`softc' structure (now it is).
2) The `description' should say what the device actually is,
rather than just giving a model number (now it does).
3) The device should be registered even if the probe fails, so
that it can be reconfigured later.
4) For netifs, the device state should follow the IFF_UP flag.
Other network interfaces should follow this example. (Please?) Eventually
there should be a rundown routine doing the equivalent of setting IFF_UP
off, and perhaps more if warranted.

machdep.c:
In syscalls, allow changing only the eflags that can be changed on

allow changing the nasty PSL_NT; don't allow changing the i586

Don't attempt to check all the cases involving invalid selectors
and %eip's. Just check for privilege violations and let the invalid
things cause a trap.
procfs_machdep.c:
Call the ptrace register functions to do all the work for reading
and writing ordinary registers and for single stepping.
trap.c:
Ignore traps caused by PSL_NT being set. Previously, users could
cause a fatal trap in user mode by setting PSL_NT and executing an
iret, and a fatal trap in kernel mode by setting PSL_NT and making
a syscall. PSL_NT was cleared too late and not in enough modes to
fix the problem.
Make all traps in user mode (except T_NMI) nonfatal.
Recover from traps caused by attempting to load invalid user
registers in doreti by restarting the traps so that they appear to
occur in user mode.

much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.
The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.
The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.
vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.
vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.
vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.
vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.
vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.
pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.
vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.
proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.
swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.
machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.
machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.
ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

correct console number for the VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl. Invalid console numbers
caused waiting on an invalid pointer.
Use bcopyw() instead of move_up() and move_down(). bcopyw() handles
overlapped copies and should be faster. Actually use bcopy(). bcopy()
is slightly faster if video memory is 16-bit and about twice as fast if
it is 32-bit. bcopy() is said to fail on someGA's, but syscons already
depends on it working for other accesses to video memory.
Remove bogus input operands for fnsave(), fnstcw() and fnstsw().
Change all fwait's to fnop's. This might help avoid hardware bugs.
Wait after fninit with an fnop. This should be safer now.
Fix some spelling and formatting errors.
Use natural sizes for control and status words (u_short, promotes to int).
Don't clobber the SWI_CLOCK_MASK bits in npx0_imask when using IRQ13.
Set the devconf state correctly (always busy, if configured). Improve
code for npx_registerdev() a little (gcc can't keep id->id_unit in a
register for some reason). Don't register a nonexistent npx device.
Print a useful message in npxattach() again (delete references to errors
and not the whole message). Don't print "387 emulator" if there is no
emulator in the kernel.
Use %p for pointers in error messages.
Don't clobber the FPU state when there is an FPU exception. Just clear
the exception flags (after saving the flags as before). This allows
debuggers and SIGFPE handlers to look at the full exception state.
SIGFPE handlers should normally return via longjmp(), which restores a
good FPU state (as before). Returning from a SIGFPE handler may leave
the FPU in the wrong state (as before).
Clear the busy latch _after_ clearing the exception flags so that there
is less chance of getting a bogus h/w interrupt for a control operation.
Clear the saved exception status word when the next FPU instruction is
excuted so that it doesn't stick around until the next exception.
Clear the busy latch after fnsave() in npxsave() in case it was set when
npxsave() was called.
values for syncronous negotiation. The 284x series adaptors can now be
supported without the Bios being enabled. If you disable the Bios on the
274x series adaptors, all configuration parameters revert to the default
since there is no way to retrieve them.
- /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c is just plain broke. But fear not, for I
have unbroken it. One thing that swapgeneric.c does is walk through the
list of configured devices searching for a boot device. The only easy
way to accomplish this in 2.0 is to use Garret Wollman's kern_devconf
stuff. *BUT*, the head of the kern_devconf linked list (dc_list) is declared
static in /sys/kern/kern_devconf.c. This means that swapgeneric.c can't
see it at link time. I had to remove the 'static' keyword to get around
this little problem. I hope this doesn't break anything anywhere.
*Furthermore,* there's a small matter of making the call to setconf()
in swapgeneric.c disappear when 'config kernel swap generic' isn't used.
You could change /sbin/config to create a dummy setconf() function in
swapkernel.c, but that seems messy somehow. (It's also someting of an
'it isn't broken, why are you fixing it' situation.) My solution was to
do what the NetBSD people did and put an #ifdef GENERIC around the call
to setconf(). If your kernel is called GENERIC or you define 'options
GENERIC,' then you can use 'config kernel swap generic' and it'll work.
That aside, the upshot is that: a) swapgeneric.c actually works, and
and b) the -a boot flag now works as well. If you boot with -a, as in
"Boot: wd(0,a)/kernel -a" you will be presented with a 'root device?'
prompt after the autoconfig phase, at which point you can specify what
device you want mounted as root. Regrettably, you can't specify an NFS
filesystem. Yet. Three files are affected: /sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c,
/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c and /sys/kern/kern_devconf.c.

- /sys/i386/isa/if_ed.c doesn't quite know how to deal with SMC EtherEZ
ethernet cards. The EtherEZ looks just like the Elite Ultra, except it
has only 8K of shared memory. The only way to have it properly detected
is to zero and test a few bytes of memory just about the first 8K region.
If it clears properly, it's an Elite Ultra, otherwise it's an EtherEZ.
I've also got an EtherEZ patch for netboot (Makefile, ether.c and ether.h).
- /sys/i386/isa/syscons.c wraps at the next to the last column rather than
the last column, like it should. You don't really notice this unless you
use certain programs that write all the way out to, say, the 80th column,
like VMSmail. Along with a one-line fix for this are some changes to
implement a non-blinking cursor. Put 'options "NOBLINK_CURSOR"' in your
config file and give it a try. :)

This is new version of Seagate ST01/02, Future Domain TMC-885, TMC-950
SCSI driver for FreeBSD. I started from the 2.0R version and mostly
rewrote it. New features are:
1) New probe algorithm. Old driver read the BIOS region of the adapter
memory and find the copyright string. The problem was in the BIOS itself:
it conflicted with IDE disks. The solution was to unplug it and
make the probe algorithm to work without it.
2) Proper timeout handling in numerous places where the driver
polls waiting for some event.
3) Assembler flagments added in critical places, mostly for data transfer
to of from the target. It was possible to make it faster,
but at the price of decreasing reliability.
4) Target-dependent delays when waiting for REQ deassert event.
Some devices seem to be slower (CD-ROMS, some tape drives),
and some seem to be too fast (disks). The driver tests the REQ
deassert timeout for each target and then uses it for polling.
5) Device flags added for SCSI parity control and sense request
priority control.
6) Generic cleanup, after which the driver became much more readable
(at least by me:).
7) Target data parity error logging is limited to avoid log file overflow.
8) Manual page added.

boot(). This is needed so the "serialboot" stuff can share this file,
too.
Everything is #ifdef'ed so it evaluates to nothing when actually been
built in the "biosboot" directory.
The files in this directory are modified version of "biosboot". The
only difference is in that they perform their I/O via a serial port,
so their preferrable usage is to form bootblocks for systems where the
kernel happens to have an "options COMCONSOLE". Most of the code is
actually shared with "biosboot", and make will not (and should not)
descend into this directory by default. It is in the responsibility
of the user to build these bootblocks instead of the original ones.

This stabilizes a couple of APM bioses quite a bit.
They all make the mistake of going into 16-bit mode, without clearing the

processing in case they metamorphose into an interrupt
handler.
i386/genassym.c;
Remove support for the obsolete pcb_iml and pcb_cmap2.
Add support for pcb_inl.
i386/swtch.s:
Fudge the interrupt nesting level across context switches and in
the idle loop so that the work for preemptive context switches
gets counted as interrupt time, the work for voluntary context
switches gets counted mostly as system time (the part when
curproc == 0 gets counted as interrupt time), and only truly idle
time gets counted as idle time.
Remove obsolete support (commented out and otherwise) for pcb_iml.
Load curpcb just before curproc instead of just after so that
curpcb is always valid if curproc is. A few more changes like
this may fix tracing through context switches.
Remove obsolete function swtch_to_inactive().
include/cpu.h:
Use the new interrupt nesting level variable to implement a
non-fake CLF_INTR() so that accounting for the interrupt state
works.
You can use top, iostat or (best) an up to date systat to see
interrupt overheads. I see the expected huge interrupt overheads
for ISA devices (on a 486DX/33, about 55% for an IDE drive
transferring 1250K/sec and the same for a WD8013EBT network card
transferring 1100K/sec). The huge interrupt overheads for serial
devices are unfortunately normally invisible.

padding to preserve binary compatibility.
Use part of the new padding for pcb_inl.
isa/icu.s:
isa/vector.s:

ICRNL doesn't apply to cngetc(). cnputc() unconditionally does the
equivalent of ONLCR; perhaps cngetc() should unconditionally do the
equivalent of ICRNL. Ddb must be checking for CR. Userconfig only
checks for NL. Userconfig works with syscons because pccngetc()
does the conversion. This is probably the wrong place to do it.
