Using the latest NVIDIA driver, upon resuming from suspend with X
running the display remained blank. Additionally OpenGL applications
that were running triggered a number of error messages from the NVIDIA
driver.
This occurred because the vt efifb back-end did not signal the X server
to release the display before suspending (or to re-acquire it after
resuming). The NVIDIA driver includes code for smoothly shutting down
and re-initializing the GPU, which was not getting called.
Since the NVIDIA driver doesn't currently support framebuffer devices
and vt is forced to fall back to the efifb back-end, add vd_suspend and
vd_resume members to connect the suspend/resume path. This ensures the
X server is properly able to re-initialize the display.

the foreground and background colours. In bitblt_text functions, compare
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
(with a 3200x1800 display) the corresponding time is reduced from 970 ms down
to 155 ms.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
rounddown2 tends to produce longer lines than the original code
and when the code has a high indentation level it was not really
advantageous to do the replacement.
This tries to strike a balance between readability using the macros
and flexibility of having the expressions, so not everything is
converted.
horizonal resolution (width). In those cases fb_bpp ended up
completely wrong -- as in 6 bytes per pixel or something like
that. Since we already have a way to calculate fb_depth given
the masks and fb_bpp is effectively the same as fb_depth, all
we need to do is make sure fb_bpp is rounded to the next
multiple of the number of bits in a byte -- we assume we can
divide by the number of bits in a byte throughout vt(4).
While here:
- simplify how we calculate fb_depth.
- use fb_bpp instead of fb_depth to calculate fb_stride;
we know we can divide fb_bpp.
- don't limit fb_width and fb_height by VT_FB_DEFAULT_WIDTH
and VT_FB_DEFAULT_HEIGHT (resp.). Those constants have
not relation to the size of the frame buffer.
This at least fixes "lower-resolution" Macs. We're talking
1280x1024 or so. There still is a problem with 27" Macs,
which typically have a horizontal resolution over 2K.

frame buffers and memory mapped UARTs.
1. Delay calling cninit() until after pmap_bootstrap(). This makes
sure we have PMAP initialized enough to add translations. Keep
kdb_init() after cninit() so that we have console when we need
to break into the debugger on boot.
2. Unfortunately, the ATPIC code had be moved as well so as to
avoid a spurious trap #30. The reason for which is not known
at this time.
3. In pmap_mapdev_attr(), when we need to map a device prior to the
VM system being initialized, use virtual_avail as the KVA to map
the device at. In particular, avoid using the direct map on amd64
because we can't demote by virtue of not being able to allocate
yet. Keep track of the translation.
Re-use the translation after the VM has been initialized to not
waste KVA and to satisfy the assumption in uart(4) that the handle
returned for the low-level console is the same as later returned
when the device is probed and attached.
4. In pmap_unmapdev() remove the mapping from the table when called
pre-init. Otherwise keep the mapping. During bus probe and attach
device resources are mapped and unmapped multiple times, which
would have us destroy the mapping used by the low-level console.
5. In pmap_init(), set pmap_initialized to signal that we're not
pre-init anymore. On amd64, bring the direct map in sync with the
translations created at that time.
6. Implement bus_space_map() and bus_space_unmap() for real: when
the tag corresponds to memory space, call the corresponding
pmap_mapdev() and pmap_unmapdev() functions to construct and
actual handle.
7. In efifb.c and vt_vga.c, remove the crutches and hacks and simply
call pmap_mapdev_attr() or bus_space_map() as desired.
Notes:
1. uart(4) already used bus_space_map() during low-level console
setup but since serial ports have traditionally been I/O port
based, the lack of a proper implementation for said function
was not a problem. It has always supported memory mapped UARTs
for low-level consoles by setting hw.uart.console accordingly.
2. The use of the direct map on amd64 without setting caching
attributes has been a bigger problem than previously thought.
This change has the fortunate (and unexpected) side-effect of
fixing various EFI frame buffer problems (though not all).

Current VT drivers don't register the memory regions they use with the
nexus. This patch makes vt_vga and vt_efifb register the memory regions they
use.
This is needed (at least) for Xen support, since the FreeBSD kernel will try
to use the holes in the memory map to map memory from other domains and
setup it's grant table.

Rename vt_generate_vga_palette() to vt_generate_cons_palette() and
change it to build a palette where the color index is the same than in
terminal escape codes, not the VGA index. That's what TCHAR_CREATE()
uses and passes to vt(4).
The main differences between both orders are:
o Blue and red are swapped (1 <-> 4)
o Yellow and cyan are swapped (3 <-> 6)
The problem remained unnoticed, because the RGB bit indexes passed to
vt_generate_vga_palette() were reversed. This inversion was cancelled
by the colors inversions in the generated palette. For instance, red
(0xff0000) and blue (0x0000ff) have bytes in opposite order, but were
swapped in the palette. But after changing the value of blue (see last
paragraph), the modified color was in fact the red one.
This commit includes a fix to creator_vt.c, submitted by Nathan
Whitehorn: fb_cmsize is set to 16. Before this, the generated palette
would be overwritte. This fixes colors on sparc64 with a Creator3D
adapter.
While here, tune the palette to better match console colors and improve
the readability (especially the dark blue).
