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.

the kernel by wrapping all targets for fake opt_*.h files in
.if defined(KERNBUILDDIR). Thus, such fake files won't be
created at all if modules are built with the kernel.
Some modules undergo cleanup like removing unused or unneeded
options or .h files, without which they wouldn't build this way
or the other.

- Add detach support to the driver so that you can kldunload the module.
Note that currently rc_detach() fails to detach a unit if any of its
child devices are open, thus a kldunload will fail if any of the tty
devices are currently open.
- sys/i386/isa/ic/cd180.h was moved to sys/dev/ic/cd180.h as part of
this change.
