vt is using static buffers for on screen data, the buffer size is
calculated based on maximum supported screen size and 8x16 font.
When using hi-res graphics and very smaller than 8x16 font, we
need to be careful not to overflow static buffers in vt.
Testing: I did test by building smaller buffers than vt currently is using,
royger was testing on actual 4k capable hardware.

As we get started with no memory allocator, we set up static font data
for font passed by loader (if there is any). At this time, we also must
set refcount 1, and refcount will get incremented in cnprobe() callback.
At some point the memory allocator will be available, and we will set up
properly allocated font data, but we should not disturb the refcount.

When a break-to-debugger is triggered, kdb will grab the console and vt(4)
will generally switch back to ttyv0. If one issues a continue from the
debugger, then kdb will ungrab the console and the system rolls on.
This change adds a perhaps minor feature: when we're down to grab == 0 and
if vt actually switched away to ttyv0, switch back to the tty it was
previously on before the console was grabbed.
The justification behind this is that a typical flow is to work in
!ttyv0 to avoid console spam while occasionally dropping to ddb to inspect
system state before returning. This could easily enough be tossed behind
a sysctl or something if it's not generally appreciated, but I anticipate
indifference.

vt_allocate_keyboard only needs to unwind the effects of keyboard-grabbing,
rather than any associated vt window action that may have also happened.
Split out the bits that do the keyboard work into *_noswitch equivalents,
and use those in keyboard allocation. This will be less error-prone when a
later change will offer up different window state behavior when the console

When using the ALT+CTRL+ESC sequence to break into kdb, the keyboard is
completely borked when you return. watch(8) shows that it's working, but
it's inserting escape sequences.
Further investigation revealed that VT_ALT_TO_ESC_HACK is the default and
directly conflicts with this sequence, so upon return from the debugger
ALKED is set.
If they triggered the break to debugger, it's safe to assume they didn't
mean to use VT_ALT_TO_ESC_HACK, so just unset it to reduce the surprise when
the keyboard seems non-functional upon return.

Currently the CONS_HISTORY and CONS_CLRHIST ioctls modify the state of the
active terminal instead of the terminal against which the ioctl was issued.
Because of the way vidcontrol(1) works, these are the same in most cases.
But a poorly-timed window switch can make them differ. This is reproducible
by issuing e.g. 'vidcontrol -s 2 && vidcontrol -C' to switch from vty 1 to
vty 2; teken will reset the cursor position on vty 1 but vt(4) will clear
the history buffer of vty 2, producing an interesting state of affairs.

This effectively reverts r355935, but is functionally equivalent. We gain no
benefit from storing the index and repeatedly fetching the keyboard with
`kbd_get_keyboard` when we need it. We'll be notified when it's going away
so we can clean up the pointer.
All existing references were trivially converted. Only once instance
actually needed the index.
With absolutely no keyboards attached and no kbdmux in kernel, we descend
down this error path. 0 is a valid keyboard index, so leaving
vd->vd_keyboard at 0 when there's no keyboard found is objectively wrong as
later attachment of a keyboard will fail -- it gets index 0, and vt thinks
it's already using that keyboard.
This is decidedly the corniest of corner cases, but it's easy enough to get
correct that we should do so.
Tested in a kernel without atkbdc, atkbd, psm, kbdmux, ukbd, hyperv then
loading ukbd post-boot and attaching a usb keyboard.
If there is an attempt to switch from a process-owned VT to a closed VT,
then vt(4) first requests the process to release its VT and only then
realizes that the target VT is closed and, so, the switch is not
possible. So, the driver does not actually do any switch, but at the
same time the owning process is not notified about that and it does not
re-acquire the VT.
This change adds an early check for the target VT state, so that the
switch can be refused before the process coordination dance.
On top of that, the code now checks for a failure of vt_window_switch()
and calls vt_window_postswitch() for the current VT if it is in the
process mode.
Test Plan:
- configure VT1 - VT8 (ttyv0 - ttyv7) to be text consoles (run getty)
- configure VT9 (ttyv8) to rn X server
- make sure that the X server configuration allows VT switching
- leave VT10 - VT12 unconfigured
- while in the X server press Ctrl+Alt+F10
- without the patch, observe strange screen content and problems with
keyboard input
- with the patch, observe that nothing happens
The problem has been observed and the fix has been tested with an nVidia
graphics card and the proprietary nvidia driver.

in a cngrab() while atkbd is the keyboard.
- A USB keyboard attaches.
- vt_upgrade() runs and switches the keyboard to the new USB keyboard,

values to this cache and don't re-draw the characters if they haven't changed.
When invalidating the display, clear this cache in order to force characters
to be redrawn; also force full redraws between suspend/resume pairs since odd
artifacts can otherwise result.
When scrolling the display (which is where most time is spent within the vt
driver) this yields a significant performance improvement if most lines are
less than the width of the terminal, since this avoids re-drawing blanks on
top of blanks.
(Note that "re-drawing" here includes writing to the VGA text mode buffer; on
virtualized systems this can be extremely slow since it triggers a glyph
being rendered onto a 640x480 screen).
On a c5.4xlarge EC2 instance (with emulated text mode VGA) this cuts the time
spent in vt(4) during the kernel boot from 1200 ms to 700ms; on my laptop

There is no need to try to resume it after each smaller operations
(putchar, cursor_position, copy, fill).
The resume function already checks if the timer is armed before doing
anything, but it uses an atomic cmpset which is expensive. And resuming
the timer at the end of input processing is enough.
While here, we also skip timer resume if the input is for another
windows than the currently displayed one. I.e. if `ttyv0` is currently
displayed, any changes to `ttyv1` shouldn't resume the timer (which
would refresh `ttyv0`).
By doing the same benchmark as r333669, I get:
* vt(4), before r333669: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 760 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
... to process input, instead of inside each smaller operations such as
appending a character or moving the cursor forward.
In other words, before we were doing (oversimplified):
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
vtterm_cursor_position()
VTBUF_LOCK()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
Now, we are doing:
vtterm_pre_input()
VTBUF_LOCK()
teken_input()
<for each input character>
vtterm_putchar()
vtterm_cursor_position()
vtterm_post_input()
VTBUF_UNLOCK()
The situation was even worse when the vtterm_copy() and vtterm_fill()
callbacks were involved.
The new callbacks are:
* struct terminal_class->tc_pre_input()
* struct terminal_class->tc_post_input()
They are called in teken_input(), surrounding the while() loop.
The goal is to improve input processing speed of vt(4). As a benchmark,
here is the time taken to write a text file of 360 000 lines (26 MiB) on
`ttyv0`:
* vt(4), unmodified: 1500 ms
* vt(4), with this patch: 1200 ms
* syscons(4): 700 ms
This is on a Haswell laptop with a GENERIC-NODEBUG kernel.
At the same time, the locking is changed in the vt_flush() function
which is responsible to draw the text on screen. So instead of
(indirectly) using VTBUF_LOCK() just to read and reset the dirty area
of the internal buffer, the lock is held for about the entire function,
including the drawing part.
The change is mostly visible while content is scrolling fast: before,
lines could appear garbled while scrolling because the internal buffer
was accessed without locks (once the scrolling was finished, the output
was correct). Now, the scrolling appears correct.
In the end, the locking model is closer to what syscons(4) does.

Trying to grab locks during cngrab() when entering the debugger is
deadlock prone as all other CPUs are already halted (and thus unable
to release locks) when cngrab() is invoked. One could instead use
try-locks. However, the case that the try-lock fails still has to
be handled. In addition, if the try-lock works it doesn't provide
any greater ordering guarantees than is already provided by entering
and exiting DDB. It is simpler to define a simpler path for the
case that the try-lock would fail and always use that when entering
DDB. Messing with timers, etc. when entering DDB is dubious even if
the try-lock succeeds.
This patch attempts to use the smallest possible set of operations to
grab the vt(4) console when entering DDB without using any locks.

for vt. Restore syscons' rendering of background (bg) brightness as
foreground (fg) blinking and vice versa, and add rendering of blinking
as background brightness to vt.
Bright/saturated is conflated with light/white in the implementation
and in this description.
Bright colors were broken in all cases, but appeared to work in the
only case shown by "vidcontrol show". A boldness hack was applied
only in 1 layering-violation place (for some syscons sequences) where
it made some cases seem to work but was undone by clearing bold using
ANSI sequences, and more seriously was not undone when setting
ANSI/xterm dark colors so left them bright. Move this hack to drivers.
The boldness hack is only for fg brightness. Restore/add a similar hack
for bg brightness rendered as fg blinking and vice versa. This works
even better for vt, since vt changes the default text mode to give the
more useful bg brightness instead of fg blinking.
The brightness bit in colors was unnecessarily removed by the boldness
hack. In other cases, it was lost later by teken_256to8(). Use
teken_256to16() to not lose it. teken_256to8() was intended to be
used for bg colors to allow finer or bg-specific control for the more
difficult reduction to 8; however, since 16 bg colors actually work
on VGA except in syscons text mode and the conversion isn't subtle
enough to significantly in that mode, teken_256to8() is not used now.
There are still bugs, especially in vidcontrol, if bright/blinking
background colors are set.
Restore XOR logic for bold/bright fg in syscons (don't change OR
logic for vt). Remove broken ifdef on FG_UNDERLINE and its wrong
or missing bit and restore the correct hard-coded bit. FG_UNDERLINE
is only for mono mode which is not really supported.
Restore XOR logic for blinking/bright bg in syscons (in vt, add
OR logic and render as bright bg). Remove related broken ifdef
on BG_BLINKING and its missing bit and restore the correct
hard-coded bit. The same bit means blinking or bright bg depending
on the mode, and we want to ignore the difference everywhere.
Simplify conversions of attributes in syscons. Don't pretend to
support bold fonts. Don't support unusual encodings of brightness.
It is as good as possible to map 16 VGA colors to 16 xterm-16
colors. E.g., VGA brown -> xterm-16 Olive will be converted back
to VGA brown, so we don't need to convert to xterm-256 Brown. Teken
cons25 compatibility code already does the same, and duplicates some
small tables. This is mostly for the sc -> te direction. The other
direction uses teken_256to16() which is too generic.
