use with syscons(4) on sparc64. It's based on the respective NetBSD
driver with some additional info (initialisation/hardware cursor)
obtained from the Xorg 'ati' driver and some ideas taken from
creator(4). ATI Mach64 chips ("ATI Rage") are quite common as low-
end graphics chips in PCI-based sun4u machines and are used on-board
in e.g. Blade 100 and a couple of OEM products. Most if not all of
the Sun PGX add-on cards family (descriptions of the PGX32 are
conflicting but most say it's a Rage Pro) are also based on these
chips. Depending on the version of the OBP Mach64 cards destined for
use in i386 machines also work in sun4u machines.
The driver uses pixel mode with hardware acceleration as far as
syscons(4) currently permits on sparc64 so text mode is already
quite fast. The hardware cursor is used for the mouse pointer;
for one because this is a "restriction" induced in syscons(4) on
sparc64 by creator(4) and also because of issues with mapping
the aperture when used as a low-level early during boot. Due to
insufficiencies in the available documentation I didn't manage to
get mode switch work properly (sync problems), yet. So for now
this driver relies on the OBP having initialised a mode (as does
creator(4)). On all of the tested machines is even true when using
a serial console (and also not only when the OBP switched to a
serial console because no keyboard is present). In general however
the states the Mach64 chips are left in by the OBP vary a lot
depending on the version of the OBP. This e.g. includes the aperture
not being mapped in even when used as the console and the OBP just
barfing when asked to map it. The latter is also the reason for the
existence of this native driver in FreeBSD rather than taking an
OFW frambuffer approach.
Xorg is also happy to talk to these chips by mmap'ing them through
this driver. For some hardware configs like on the Blade 100 a fix
for the Xorg sparc64 MD bus code is however needed (added in version
6.8.2_2 of the xorg-server port).
The video driver font loading and saving methods are not implemented,
yet, as syscons(4) needs more work in that area to work viable on
sparc64.
With minor modifications machfb(4) would most likely also work on
powerpc, when #ifdef'ing the OFW and possibly implementing mode
setting probably also on the other archs. The latter is however
not very practible at the moment as it would conflict with vga(4).

- 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.
- Some clean-up (remove unused/useless code, etc.).
o sparc64/creator/creator_upa.c / sparc64/sparc64/sc_machdep.c:
- Attach syscons(4) as an own pseudo-device on the nexus rather than
directly in creator_upa_attach(), similiar to attaching syscons(4)
as a pseudo-device on isa(4) on other archs. This makes it a whole
lot easier to do the right thing in multi-head configs, especially
with different types of graphics adapters. [2]
- Set SC_AUTODETECT_KBD by default so USB keyboards work out of the
box. [2]

because it was mostly irrelevant - except for the silly BIOS_PADDRTOVADDR

* Make syscons properly inherit the bios capslock/shiftlock/etc state like
i386 does. Note that we cannot inherit the bios key repeat rate because
that requires a bios call (which is impossible for us).
* Give syscons the ability to beep on amd64. Oops.

- Fix the code that determines whether a creator instance was used
for firmware output (and should not be blanked on initialization).
Since r1.2 of dev/fb/creator.c, this consisted comparing a handle of
an instance of a package with a handle of the package itself.
Use the test from r1.1, which utilizes OF_instance_to_package().

A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few

These are fixed resolution and operate only in pixel mode so they present
a challenge to syscons (square peg, round hole, etc, etc). The driver
provides a video driver interface for syscons and a separate character
device for X to mmap. Wherever possible the creator's accelarated graphics
functions are used so text mode is very fast.

- Use this to represent physical addresses in the MI vm system and in the
i386 pmap code. This also changes the paddr parameter to d_mmap_t.
- Fix printf formats to handle physical addresses >4G in the i386 memory
detection code, and due to kvtop returning vm_paddr_t instead of u_long.
Note that this is a name change only; vm_paddr_t is still the same as
vm_offset_t on all currently supported platforms.

- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour. The
device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
int. Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful. The
mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
is considered as an error. Previously, returning -1 was the only
way to fail. This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.
I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.
