sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

2017-11-27T14:52:40Z

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.

Remove pc98 support completely.

I thank all developers and contributors for pc98. Relnotes: yes

Replace explicit calls to video methods with their respective variants

implemented with macros. This patch improves code readability. Reasoning behind vidd_* is a sort of "video discipline". List of macros is supposed to be complete--all methods of video_switch ought to have their respective macros from now on. Functionally, this code should be no-op. My intention is to leave current behaviour of touched code as is. No objections: rwatson Silence on: freebsd-current@ Approved by: cognet

Fixed warnings.

This is the 3rd stage of syscons code reorganization.

2000-01-15T15:25:43Z

- Split terminal emulation code from the main part of the driver so that we can have alternative terminal emulator modules if we like in the future. (We are not quite there yet, though.) - Put sysmouse related code in a separate file, thus, simplifying the main part of the driver. As some files are added to the source tree, you need to run config(8) before you compile a new kernel next time. You shouldn't see any functional change by this commit; this is only internal code reorganization.

The second phase of syscons reorganization.

1999-06-22T14:14:06Z

- Split syscons source code into manageable chunks and reorganize some of complicated functions. - Many static variables are moved to the softc structure. - Added a new key function, PREV. When this key is pressed, the vty immediately before the current vty will become foreground. Analogue to PREV, which is usually assigned to the PrntScrn key. PR: kern/10113 Submitted by: Christian Weisgerber - Modified the kernel console input function sccngetc() so that it handles function keys properly. - Reorganized the screen update routine. - VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more robust than before. - Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the APM resume event directly. - New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING, SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE. Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is reduced. SC_PIXEL_MODE Made the VESA 800x600 mode an option, rather than a standard part of syscons. SC_DISABLE_DDBKEY Disables the `debug' key combination. SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE Inverse the character cell at the mouse cursor position in the text console, rather than drawing an arrow on the screen. Submitted by: Nick Hibma (n_hibma@FreeBSD.ORG) SC_DFLT_FONT makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_" Include the named font as the default font of syscons. 16-line, 14-line and 8-line font data will be compiled in. This option replaces the existing STD8X16FONT option, which loads 16-line font data only. - The VGA driver is split into /sys/dev/fb/vga.c and /sys/isa/vga_isa.c. - The video driver provides a set of ioctl commands to manipulate the frame buffer. - New kernel configuration option: VGA_WIDTH90 Enables 90 column modes: 90x25, 90x30, 90x43, 90x50, 90x60. These modes are mot always supported by the video card. PR: i386/7510 Submitted by: kbyanc@freedomnet.com and alexv@sui.gda.itesm.mx. - The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h (another new file). machine/console.h is still maintained for compatibility reasons. - Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console (sio) again, as it was in 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1. - Screen savers and splash screen decoders Because of the header file reorganization described above, screen savers and splash screen decoders are slightly modified. After this update, /sys/modules/syscons/saver.h is no longer necessary and is removed.
