driver methods, call the driver's putchar() method to redraw the affected
areas.
For unaccelerated framebuffers where reads are expensive and we can't spare
any memory for a shadow framebuffer. Enabled by setting VCONS_DONT_READ in
scr_flags
Rename real routines to proc_find() and pgrp_find(), remove PFIND_* flags
and have consistent behaviour. Provide proc_find_raw() for special cases.
Fix memory leak in sysctl_proc_corename().
COMPAT_LINUX: rework ptrace() locking, minimise differences between
different versions per-arch.
Note: while this change adds some formal cosmetics for COMPAT_DARWIN and
COMPAT_IRIX - locking there is utterly broken (for ages).
Fixes PR/43176.
things if NWSDISPLAY is 0.
Arguably the right fix is to not allow "options WSDISPLAY_SCROLLSUPPORT"
to be enabled in this case, but AIUI config doesn't know how to encode
rules like that.
and non-const types, and the kernel uses both const and non-const
PMF qualifiers and device suspensors, so change the pmf_qual_t and
device_suspensor_t typedefs from "pointers to const" to non-pointer,
non-const types.
wsemul_vt100_subr.c) to be used by alternative terminal emulators
(which are not in-tree yet but can be loaded as LKMs).
For this, split out that part of the state structure which is used
by the sharable code and include that in the original vt100 state.
This is only a query-replace and sed(1) job for now, it makes sense
to rearrange things a bit so that even more code can be changed --
will do so later.
this is what it meant all the time -- it includes characters >127
-delegate translation of all key symbols >127 to the terminal emulation
layer -- formerly everything non-special was passed to the tty subsystem
directly, involving truncation to a "char", which effectively meant
some ISO-1 assumption
type/status/etc inquiries. (PR kern/37915)
This is clearly a design problem in tty, but we need a cheap fix now.
The problem is that ttyinput() tries to pull a spinlock which
is already held on calls to t_oproc.
The workaround is based on the fact that within wscons code, the
wsdisplay_emulinput() function is only called directly from
wsdisplaystart(). So we can be sure that the tty lock is held,
and use an inofficial entry point in ttc.c which avoids the locking.
These ate certainly more assumptions than needed by the fix
proposed in the PR, but it doesn't affect (and slow down) other
tty drivers.
proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
usable VGA console ("call ddb_vgapost")
-allow to switch from/to screens occupied by an X server if the graphics
device is console and in polling mode (ie DDB)
This together allows to get a DDB session on a VGA console if the
system crashed while X11 was running.
As long as the protocol to tell X servers about virtual screen switches
is as primitive as it is, it is unsafe to restart an X session afterwards.
So this is basically for crash analysis.
- Add a lot of missing selinit() and seldestroy() calls.
- Merge selwakeup() and selnotify() calls into a single selnotify().
- Add an additional 'events' argument to selnotify() call. It will
indicate which event (POLL_IN, POLL_OUT, etc) happen. If unknown,
zero may be used.
Note: please pass appropriate value of 'events' where possible.
