As discussed with Robert Watson on the src-committers list, it is safer
to keep at least some pty(4) entries in /etc/ttys, for applications that
roll their own PTY allocation routine and only search for BSD-style
PTY's.
This means we've now just toggled the amount of entries for pts(4) and
pty(4).
Requested by: rwatson
Because we now use pts(4)-style PTY's exclusively, there is no use for
these entries in /etc/ttys. Right now the pts(4) entries only go from 0
to 255. Because we're going to touch these files anyway, increase the
number to 511.
Discussed with: philip (ex-mentor)
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.

non-dhcp interfaces to negotiate/associate this will make more sense.
This also correctly gets run after both devd and netif are run so it has
a chance of working.
The rc.initdiskless functionality is used by NanoBSD to allow configuration
files to live on a separate configuration slice, which acts as NVRAM, whilst
the system image is mounted read-only.
Normally, if the remount command fails during boot, this is regarded as
a fatal error. If /conf/T/M/remount_optional is present, this error is
non-fatal. If the file is not present, the default behaviour is unchanged.
This is very useful for people building live CD images using FreeBSD,
where the NVRAM lives somewhere completely differently from the system image,
and may be present on removable media which is not present during the
initial boot.
To preserve the existing behavior of etc/rc.d/netif, add code to wait
up to if_up_delay seconds (30 seconds by default) for a default route to
be configured if there are any dhcp interfaces. This should be extended
to test that the interface is actually up.
