Patch by Slava Semushin <slava.semushin@gmail.com>
Again, this was tested by comparing obj files from a pristine and a patched
source tree against an i386/ALL kernel, and also for src/sbin/fsck_ffs,
src/sbin/fsdb and src/usr.sbin/makefs. Only changes in assert() line numbers
were detected in 'objdump -d' output.
version.
Add disk_blocksize(9) so that disk drivers can record the physical
block size of a disk if it is different to DEV_BSIZE. Right now this
simply initialises dk_blkshift and dk_byteshift according to the
supplied block size. This information is used in the MI version of
bounds_check_with_label().
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

require it. On most archs this does not change anything, but on sparc{,64}
it allows linking of kernels that have machfb as the only framebuffer.
Solution suggested by Quentin.
requested by uwe@. These were wrong because they were receiving an
emulcookie yet they were accessops (thus having to receive an accesscookie).
Instead, just handle the WSDISPLAYIO_{GET,PUT}WSCHAR ioctls from the
driver's ioctl accessop.
As this reduces the amount of code needed to handle these operations to
two small functions in each driver, remove the WSDISPLAY_CHARFUNCS kernel
option.
Reviewed by, at least, uwe@ and macallan@. No objections in tech-kern@.
to the screen on which they are being called. The driver cannot guess
this by itself but it is needed to implement, at least, the getwschar and
putwschar functions in the correct place. There are no functional changes
yet.
Tested on i386 (vga, vga_raster, machfb, vesafb), macppc and sparc64.
Suggested and reviewed by macallan@.
The tadpole microcontroller sets an additional bit in frame headers from
an external mouse which caused our driver to discard the frame - now we
just ignore the bit.
- Replace references to linesw[0] with a ttyldisc_default() function
that returns the default ("termios") line discipline.
- The linesw[] array is gone, replaced by a linked list.
- ttyldisc_add() and ttyldisc_remove() have been replaced by
ttyldisc_attach() and ttyldisc_detach().
- Things that provide line disciplines are now responsible for
registering those disciplines with the system. The linesw
structures are no longer declared in tty_conf.c
- Line disciplines are now refcounted; a lookup causes a reference to
be held. ttyldisc_release() releases the reference. Attempts to
detach an in-use line discipline result in EBUSY.
- Fix function signature lossage in if_sl.c, if_strip.c, and tty_tb.c
that was masked by the old tty_conf.c
- tty_init() is no longer necessary; delete it and its call from main().
Framebuffer drivers use their own minor device number to find their device entry
in fbdriver methods ( like cgsix uses cgsix_cd[minor] ) but fb passed the fb
device's unit number which works only as long as all registered fb devices use
the same underlying driver. With different fb drivers, like a cgsix and an ffb, both will be (native) unit number 0 so with the old code /dev/fb1 would be
unusable.
via the /dev/fbn abstraction. Framebuffers are attached in probe order.
However, the previous semantics are kept, so that the detected or forced
console will always be fb0.
