   indirectly; we start up with default foreground and background colors and only way to change those is via esc sequences sent to tem, and there we do have fixed list of possible values. If we allow to set color directly to lit the pixel or we do implement interface to allow custom RGB values to be loaded, then this should be reviewed.

Is the framebuffer endianness well defined to be little endian or does it match the host endianness? If the first case, we probably need to adjust the cases here to do conversion.

   It seems fine to avoid writing the endian conversion code, but in it's place we should probably have a compile-time check? e.g., https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/blob/8a15db18cc817a39246b143e7ccd35a0898ed743/usr/src/uts/common/sys/scsi/adapters/smrt/smrt.h#L38-L44

I'm not sure if the calculation of blend guarantees this property or not, but if somehow blend = 0xffff, then we'll have h = 0xff, l = 0xff, which will cause h to be set to 0x100, which we will truncate to zero at the return. Is that the right behavior? Should values greater than a uint8_t in h be truncated versus round up to UINT8_MAX?

1. 

   Toomas Soome Dec. 11, 2018, 1:39 p.m.

   We can not get blend to 0xffff. The maximum we can get is fg = 0xff, bg = 0xff, and alpha = 0xfe (0xff is corner case). in such setup, we will have blend 0xfe01 and that will result with h = 0xff.

Does this need to live in a shared header?

Unrelated, but I like the strategy. It seems to make sense. This shows up as a module in the multiboot2 sense right? We won't create a boot time module from it, will we?

1. 

   Toomas Soome Dec. 12, 2018, 10:57 a.m.

   Yes, the idea is that:
   
   1. we have compiled in (limited) font - 8x16, to be able to have basic screen output on FB. 8x16 was selected because it can be shared with VGA text mode too. The alternative implementation could be to keep text mode/SimpleTextOutputProtocol till we have font loaded.
   
   2. if we have font loaded (manual or autoload), it is full font and used by loader, and if FB is supported by the kernel, we will pass this font down to kernel as multiboot module (type=console-font). This module has small header with pointers to data and it is in memory representation of the loaded font.
   
   3. kernel also will have small built in font for case we get framebuffer, or to load vga text mode font, but if the console-module font was passed, it will be used instead - in early boot by using the module memory directly, and later the memory will be allocated and the module will be released.
   
   4. At some point in future, we can implement font loading to kernel - the base mechanism to switch the font is already present, but the tooling and the data transfer to kernel is to be implemented. However, I would assume that for most cases the boot loader mechanism will be preferred anyhow.

   the function name only is hinting it was created for tem; since the kernel tem does require its presence, I did kept the same for loader. In kernel it is only meaningful for sparc, to switch the firmware cursor off.

1.

   Yes, this is also originating from sparc prom, when tem is starting up, we fetch the prom cursor position to continue where from we were left to. So we only get the cursor position in terms of terminal coordinates and the tem will do the math. Note that here it does not really matter if we can preserve the cursor position because switching the font will clear the whole screen anyhow.

If we hit this case, then we will never free png->zs. I'm not sure where the right place to try and free this up is, but certainly looking at the way callers work today, this'll be leaked.

However, that has its own risks because we would make sure that we freed it before another call to png_start_inflate.

Maybe we should do both? Try and free it in png_end_inflate, but also try and catch someone not freeing it in png_close() and someone doing the same in png_start_inflate()?

Why are we casting this to a char versus a uint8_t? Unfortunately a default 'char' can either be signed or unsigned based on the processor / platform. ARM for example, historically has had the opposite of x86.

   I would believe, they were intending to achieve (in[i] + sum/2) & 0xff here.

This converts an unsigned data to a signed data. It won't overflow, but seems odd to change the sign.

Are COLUMNS and LINES no longer honored? Or is it only no longer honored in the context of using the VGA frame buffer? Just trying to understand why this changed.

   I did decide to go with screen-* because we have those properties in our kernel (wscons.c): screen-#cols, screen-#rows, screen-width, screen-height. We build up the console properties in loader and pass the values down to kernel via environment module and the kernel will inherit and use the values (down to cursor position). This will allow us to get consistent console and will save us from translating loader properties to kernel properties in kernel fakebop.c.

Re-defined common macros.

Is it worth to add an ABS() macro into <sys/param.h>?

(Not for this issue.)

This macro already exist in <sys/param.h>, but that's name is capitalized.
And it's not used, so delete it.

abs() macro used here + in the next line.

#ifdef _STANDALONE
#include <sys/param.h>

#ifndef ABS

#define ABS(x)      ((x) < 0 ? -(x) : (x))
#endif

#else /* !_STANDALONE */
#include <sys/sysmacros.h>
#endif

(The preferred macro name should be the capitalized name.)

   abs() is tricky because it is function in userland (man abs).

Should we be using CMD_OK or should we actually be using CMD_WARN/CMD_ERROR in cases where the user input something incorrect?

1. 

   Toomas Soome Dec. 15, 2018, 9:03 a.m.

   There is a problem with those codes - when we get the error while interpreting startup scripts, the interpeter will stop. So we have one hand with lets set an error and other hand with should we break the boot process. I guess with colors we should rather keep boot going:)

   Robert Mustacchi Dec. 18, 2018, 1:02 a.m.

   OK, this makes sense. Yeah, we'd rather try to boot, I think. Seems like in the future we should separate the fatalness of the two operations somehow, but that's another day's problem.

I think this is always safe, but I'll be honest, seeing the cast was a bit weird at first glance.

In general, I think this is good, though if you don't mind, I'd still like the explicit build failure if we're building big endian that jclulow described.

Unchecked return value? Since this returns void, I guess we should panic on failure?

   tvs_screen_buf is simple - if we fail to allocate, we will not use it (the code has checks in place). We fall back on full line copy in copy area.

Should width and cols be unsigned here since we're using them as indexes into an array? Though that change would require redoing the way the while loop works due to the comparison / wraparound.

   Toomas Soome Dec. 22, 2018, 12:02 p.m.

   yea, I do not think using unsigned value will serve any good purpose there except we will complicate things.
