New Revision: 355556
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/355556

Log:
  Enable use of ofwcons for early debug
  
  This change enables the use of OpenFirmware Console (ofwcons), even when VGA is
  available, allowing early kernel messages to be seen, that is important in case
  of crashes before VGA console initialization.
  
  This is specially useful in virtualized environments, where the user/developer
  doesn't have full control of the virtualization engine (e.g. OpenStack).
  
  The old behavior is preserved by default and, in order to use ofwcons, a few
  tunables that have been introduced need to be set:
  - hw.ofwfb.disable=1     - disable OFW FrameBuffer device
  - machdep.ofw.mtx_spin=1 - change PPC OFW mutex to SPIN type, to match kernel
                             console's mutex type
  - debug.quiesce_ofw=0    - don't call OFW quiesce, needed to keep ofwcons I/O
                             working
  
  More details can be found at differential revision D20640.

+ * To be able to use OFW console on PPC, that requires real mode OFW,
+ * the mutex that guards the mapping/unmapping of virtual to physical
+ * buffers (of_real_mtx) must be of SPIN type. This is needed because
+ * kernel console first locks a SPIN mutex before calling OFW real.
+ * By default, of_real_mtx is a sleepable mutex. To make it of SPIN
+ * type, use the following tunnable:
+ * machdep.ofw.mtx_spin=1
+ *
+ * Besides that, a few more tunables are needed to select and use the
+ * OFW console with real mode OFW.
+ *
+ * In order to disable the use of OFW FrameBuffer and fallback to the
+ * OFW console, use:
+ * hw.ofwfb.disable=1
+ *
+ * To disable the use of FDT (that doesn't support OFW read/write methods)
+ * and use real OFW instead, unset the following loader variable:
+ * unset usefdt
+ *
+ * OFW is put in quiesce state in early kernel boot, which usually disables
+ * OFW read/write capabilities (in QEMU write continue to work, but
+ * read doesn't). To avoid OFW quiesce, use:
+ * debug.quiesce_ofw=0
+ *
+ * Note that disabling OFW quiesce can cause conflicts between kernel and
+ * OFW trying to control the same hardware. Thus, it must be used with care.
+ * Some conflicts can be avoided by disabling kernel drivers with hints.
+ * For instance, to disable a xhci controller and an USB keyboard connected
+ * to it, that may be already being used for input by OFW, use:
+ * hint.xhci.0.disabled=1
