accessible:
(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
KDB is present in the kernel.
(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.
(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
above sysctls to enable those features by default. Current kernel
configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.
(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
individual device drivers into centralised KDB code. This has a
number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't. However,
similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.
(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
interface to KDB to allow that to work.
GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.

interface is fairly simple WRT dealing with flow control, but
needed 2 new RX buffer functions with "get-char-from-buf" separated
from "advance-buf-pointer" so that the pointer could be advanced
only when ttydisc_rint() succeeded.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER. In addition to "Enter ~ ctrl-B" (to enter the
debugger), there is now "Enter ~ ctrl-P" (force panic) and
"Enter ~ ctrl-R" (request clean reboot, ala ctrl-alt-del on syscons).
We've used variations of this at work. The force panic sequence is
best used with KDB_UNATTENDED for when you just want it to dump and
get on with it.
The reboot request is a safer way of getting into single user than
a power cycle. eg: you've hosed the ability to log in (pam, rtld, etc).
It gives init the reboot signal, which causes an orderly reboot.
I've taken my best guess at what the !x86 and non-sio code changes
should be.
This also makes sio release its spinlock before calling KDB/DDB.

for that argument. This will allow DDB to detect the broad category of
reason why the debugger has been entered, which it can use for the
purposes of deciding which DDB script to run.

it obtained through the uart_class structure. This allows us
to declare the uart_class structure as weak and as such allows
us to reference it even when it's not compiled-in.
It also allows is to get the uart_ops structure by name, which
makes it possible to implement the dt tag handling in uart_getenv().
The side-effect of all this is that we're using the uart_class
structure more consistently which means that we now also have
access to the size of the bus space block needed by the hardware
when we map the bus space, eliminating any hardcoding.

system devices (i.e. console, debug port or keyboard), don't stop
after the first match. Find them all and keep track of the last.
The reason for this change is that the low-level console is always
added to the list of system devices first, with other devices added
later. Since new devices are added to the list at the head, we have
the console always at the end. When a debug port is using the same
UART as the console, we would previously mark the "newbus" UART as
a debug port instead of as a console. This would later result in a
panic because no "newbus" device was associated with the console.
By matching all possible system devices we would mark the "newbus"
UART as a console and not as a debug port.
While it is arguably better to be able to mark a "newbus" UART as
both console and debug port, this fix is lightweight and allows
a single UART to be used as the console as well as a debug port
with only the aesthetic bug of not telling the user about it also
being a debug port.
Now that we match all possible system devices, update the rclk of
the system devices with the rclk that was obtained through the
bus attachment. It is generally true that clock information is
more reliable when obtained from the parent bus than by means of
some hardcoded or assumed value used early in the boot. This by
virtue of having more context information.

baudrate of the sysdev (as represented by a 0 value). When the
ioctl() fails, e.g. when the backend hasn't implemented it or the
hardware doesn't provide the means to determine its current baudrate
setting, we invalidate the baudrate setting by setting it to -1.
None of the backends currently implement the new ioctl().

and the Z8530 drivers used the I/O address as a quick and dirty way to
determine which channel they operated on, but formalizing this by
introducing iobase is not a solution. How for example would a driver
know which channel it controls for a multi-channel UART that only has a
single I/O range?
Instead, add an explicit field, called chan, to struct uart_bas that
holds the channel within a device, or 0 otherwise. The chan field is
initialized both by the system device probing (i.e. a system console)
or it is passed down to uart_bus_probe() by any of the bus front-ends.
As such, it impacts all platforms and bus drivers and makes it a rather
large commit.
Remove the use of iobase in uart_cpu_eqres() for pc98. It is expected
that platforms have the capability to compare tag and handle pairs for
equality; as to determine whether two pairs access the same device or
not. The use of iobase for pc98 makes it impossible to formalize this
and turn it into a real newbus function later. This commit reverts
uart_cpu_eqres() for pc98 to an unimplemented function. It has to be
reimplemented using only the tag and handle fields in struct uart_bas.
Rewrite the SAB82532 and Z8530 drivers to use the chan field in struct
uart_bas. Remove the IS_CHANNEL_A and IS_CHANNEL_B macros. We don't
need to abstract anything anymore.

an UART interface could get stuck when a new interrupt condition
arose while servicing a previous interrupt. Since an interrupt was
already pending, no new interrupt would be triggered.
Avoid infinite recursion by flushing the Rx FIFO and marking an
overrun condition when we could not move the data from the Rx
FIFO to the receive buffer in toto. Failure to flush the Rx FIFO
would leave the Rx ready condition pending.
Note that the SAB 82532 already did this due to the nature of the
chip.

precisely where locking would be needed before adding it, but it
seems uart(4) draws slightly too much attention to have it without
locking for too long.
The lock added is a spinlock that protects access to the underlying
hardware. As a first and obvious stab at this, each method of the
hardware interface grabs the lock. Roughly speaking this serializes
the methods. Exceptions are the probe, attach and detach methods.

Second (PPS) timing interface. The support is non-optional and by
default uses the DCD line signal as the pulse input. A compile-time
option (UART_PPS_ON_CTS) can be used to have uart(4) use the CTS line
signal.
Include <sys/timepps.h> in uart_bus.h to avoid having to add the
inclusion of that header in all source files.

It improves on sio(4) in the following areas:
o Fully newbusified to allow for memory mapped I/O. This is a must
for ia64 and sparc64,
o Machine dependent code to take full advantage of machine and firm-
ware specific ways to define serial consoles and/or debug ports.
o Hardware abstraction layer to allow the driver to be used with
various UARTs, such as the well-known ns8250 family of UARTs, the
Siemens sab82532 or the Zilog Z8530. This is especially important
for pc98 and sparc64 where it's common to have different UARTs,
o The notion of system devices to unkludge low-level consoles and
remote gdb ports and provides the mechanics necessary to support
the keyboard on sparc64 (which is UART based).
o The notion of a kernel interface so that a UART can be tied to
something other than the well-known TTY interface. This is needed
on sparc64 to present the user with a device and ioctl handling
suitable for a keyboard, but also allows us to cleanly hide an
UART when used as a debug port.
Following is a list of features and bugs/flaws specific to the ns8250
family of UARTs as compared to their support in sio(4):
o The uart(4) driver determines the FIFO size and automaticly takes
advantages of larger FIFOs and/or additional features. Note that
since I don't have sufficient access to 16[679]5x UARTs, hardware
flow control has not been enabled. This is almost trivial to do,
provided one can test. The downside of this is that broken UARTs
are more likely to not work correctly with uart(4). The need for
tunables or knobs may be large enough to warrant their creation.
o The uart(4) driver does not share the same bumpy history as sio(4)
and will therefore not provide the necessary hooks, tweaks, quirks
or work-arounds to deal with once common hardware. To that extend,
uart(4) supports a subset of the UARTs that sio(4) supports. The
question before us is whether the subset is sufficient for current
hardware.
o There is no support for multiport UARTs in uart(4). The decision
behind this is that uart(4) deals with one EIA RS232-C interface.
Packaging of multiple interfaces in a single chip or on a single
expansion board is beyond the scope of uart(4) and is now mostly
left for puc(4) to deal with. Lack of hardware made it impossible
to actually implement such a dependency other than is present for
the dual channel SAB82532 and Z8350 SCCs.
The current list of missing features is:
o No configuration capabilities. A set of tunables and sysctls is
being worked out. There are likely not going to be any or much
compile-time knobs. Such configuration does not fit well with
current hardware.
o No support for the PPS API. This is partly dependent on the
ability to configure uart(4) and partly dependent on having
sufficient information to implement it properly.
As usual, the manpage is present but lacks the attention the
software has gotten.
