Wang YanQing e57f35d45f fbcon: convert last fbcon_takeover call to do_fbcon_takeover
After commit 054430e773 (fbcon: fix locking harder),
there is only one place use do_fbcon_takeover now, this patch
convert it to do_fbcon_takeover too, then we can delete
fbcon_takeover whos function can be achieved with do_fbcon_takeover
easily to reduce code size and duplication.

Arnd Bergmann 8c090cfbf9 staging/solo6x10: depend on CONFIG_FONTS
The new SOLO6X10 driver needs the built-in console fonts, specifically
the VGA8x16 font and building it without console support results in
a link error error.

drivers/built-in.o: In function `solo_osd_print':
 :(.text+0x7d3424): undefined reference to `find_font'

This adds a dependency on the CONFIG_FONTS symbol and changes the
console code to always build the base driver even if there are
no specific fonts built-in.

Viresh Kumar a85f1a41f0 fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq
fbcon uses workqueues and it has no real dependency of scheduling these on the
cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

This patch replaces system_wq with system_power_efficient_wq.

Mika Kuoppala e6637d5427 fbcon: when font is freed, clear also vc_font.data
commit ae1287865f
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Jan 24 16:12:41 2013 +1000

    fbcon: don't lose the console font across generic->chip driver switch

uses a pointer in vc->vc_font.data to load font into the new driver.
However if the font is actually freed, we need to clear the data
so that we don't reload font from dangling pointer.

Dave Airlie 054430e773 fbcon: fix locking harder
Okay so Alan's patch handled the case where there was no registered fbcon,
however the other path entered in set_con2fb_map pit.

In there we called fbcon_takeover, but we also took the console lock in a couple
of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map,

this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier
entry points that lead to this.

This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten.

Dave Airlie ae1287865f fbcon: don't lose the console font across generic->chip driver switch
If grub2 loads efifb/vesafb, then when systemd starts it can set the console
font on that framebuffer device, however when we then load the native KMS
driver, the first thing it does is tear down the generic framebuffer driver.

The thing is the generic code is doing the right thing, it frees the font
because otherwise it would leak memory. However we can assume that if you
are removing the generic firmware driver (vesa/efi/offb), that a new driver
*should* be loading soon after, so we effectively leak the font.

However the old code left a dangling pointer in vc->vc_font.data and we
can now reuse that dangling pointer to load the font into the new
driver, now that we aren't freeing it.

Dave Airlie 2a24830723 vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)
When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the
current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds
the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus
the new font misrenders.

The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it
ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char
which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on
screen at boot and is quite ugly.

A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the
screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen
no longer corrupts.

v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we
are are going to or from 512 chars.

Dave Airlie d8636a2717 fbcon: fix race condition between console lock and cursor timer (v1.1)
So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
days to finding the problem.

Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
message and that was all.

So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.

Thread A (driver load)    Thread B (timer thread)
  unbind_con_driver ->              |
  bind_con_driver ->                |
  vc->vc_sw->con_deinit ->          |
  fbcon_deinit ->                   |
  console_lock()                    |
      |                             |
      |                       fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
      |                       console_lock() <- blocked for A
      |
      |
fbcon_del_cursor_timer ->
  del_timer_sync
  (BOOM)

Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
console guess what we never see anything.

Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms
driver handoff.

v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan.

Paul Bolle bfc994b5fc Kconfig: remove a few puzzling comments
These comments mention CONFIG options that do not exist: not as a symbol
in a Kconfig file (without the CONFIG_ prefix) and neither as a symbol
(with that prefix) in the code.

There's one reference to XSCALE_PMU_TIMER as a negative dependency.
But XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is never defined (CONFIG_XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is
also unused in the code). It shows up with type "unknown" if you search
for it in menuconfig. Apparently a negative dependency on an unknown
symbol is always true. That negative dependency can be removed too.

Dave Airlie 32b98bf875 fbcon: fix situation where fbcon gets deinitialised and can't reinit.
Situation as follow:
2 GPUs + vesafb + kms.

GPU 1 is primary, vesafb binds to it as fb0
radeon loads
GPU 0 loads as fb1
GPU 1 loads, vesafb gets kicked off which causes fb0 to unbind
console, which causes the dummy console to rebind.

this means fbcon_deinit gets called, which calls fbcon_exit
since the console isn't bound anymore and we set fbcon_has_exited.

GPU 1 creates a new fb0 which is primary and we want to be console.
fbcon_fb_registered gets called sets the primary up and calls set_con2fb_map,
however as fbcon_has_exited is set nothing further ever happens.

This patch bypasses the fbcon_has_exited and checks if the console is unbound,
if its unbound it calls the fbcon_takeover which calls the vt layer to
call the fbcon_startup method and everthing works.

(Tile Blitting Operation in framebuffer console).

The old mask 0x01 for vc_cursor_type detects CUR_NONE, CUR_LOWER_THIRD

Torben Hohn ac751efa6a console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()
The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex.  As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()

This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.

The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()

This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

David Rientjes 6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Yannick Heneault 554ec37aca vgacon: check for efi machine
It seems there is a small problem of VGA palette corruption on EFI
machine.  When the kernel initializes the architecture, it checks if the
machine is a EFI machine and assumes that a VGA console can exist.

When it initializes the console in vgacon_startup it checks if it can
really use the VGA console.  I think this is where a check is missing.
Currently, the function can fail if a VESA boot mode is detected but not if
a EFI boot mode was used.

Thus vgacon_startup() doesn't fail and initialize the video card for a real
VGA mode.  This function changes the first 16entries of the VGA palette.

When the efifb driver kicks in, the palette is not restored to default
ramp value, thus the 16 first entry remain in a modified state.  The
following patch prevent this corruption.

Jesse Barnes 8fd4bd2235 vt/console: try harder to print output when panicing
Jesse's initial patch commit said:

"At panic time (i.e.  when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit
harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since
some drivers are capable of flipping back to it.

So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a
panic context."

I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to
indicate they want this behaviour to occur.  This also adds support to
fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want
to use the support.  It enables this for KMS drivers.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Dave Airlie 6a9ee8af34 vga_switcheroo: initial implementation (v15)
Many new laptops now come with 2 gpus, one to be used for low power
modes and one for gaming/on-ac applications. These GPUs are typically
wired to the laptop panel and VGA ports via a multiplexer unit which
is controlled via ACPI methods.

4 combinations of systems typically exist - with 2 ACPI methods.
Intel/ATI - Lenovo W500/T500 - use ATPX ACPI method
ATI/ATI - some ASUS - use ATPX ACPI Method
Intel/Nvidia - - use _DSM ACPI method
Nvidia/Nvidia -  - use _DSM ACPI method.

TODO:
This patch adds support for the ATPX method and initial bits
for the _DSM methods that need to written by someone with
access to the hardware.
Add a proper non-debugfs interface - need to get some proper
testing first.

v2: add power up/down support for both devices
on W500 puts i915/radeon into D3 and cuts power to radeon.

v3: redo probing methods, no DMI list, drm devices call to
register with switcheroo, it tries to find an ATPX method on
any device and once there is two devices + ATPX it inits the
switcher.

v4: ATPX msg handling using buffers - should work on more machines

v5: rearchitect after more mjg59 discussion - move ATPX handling to
    radeon driver.

v6: add file headers + initial nouveau bits (to be filled out).

v7: merge delayed switcher code.

v8: avoid suspend/resume of gpu that is off

v9: rearchitect - mjg59 is always right. - move all ATPX code to
radeon, should allow simpler DSM also proper ATRM handling

v10: add ATRM support for radeon BIOS, add mutex to lock vgasr_priv

v11: fix bug in resuming Intel for 2nd time.

v12: start fixing up nvidia code blindly.

v13: blindly guess at finishing nvidia code

v14: remove radeon audio hacks - fix up intel resume more like upstream

v15: clean up printks + remove unnecessary igd/dis pointers

mount debugfs

/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch - should exist if ATPX detected
 + 2 cards.

DIS - immediate change to discrete
IGD - immediate change to IGD
DDIS - delayed change to discrete
DIGD - delayed change to IGD
ON - turn on not in use
OFF - turn off not in use

Tested on W500 (Intel/ATI) and T500 (Intel/ATI)

Krzysztof Helt f5c15d0b37 fb: remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations
Remove fb_save_state() and fb_restore_state operations from frame buffer layer.
They are used only in two drivers:
1. savagefb  - and cause bug #11248
2. uvesafb

Usage of these operations is misunderstood in both drivers so kill these
operations, fix the bug #11248 and avoid confusion in the future.

Tested on Savage 3D/MV card and the patch fixes the bug #11248.

The frame buffer layer uses these funtions during switch between graphics
and text mode of the console, but these drivers saves state before
switching of the frame buffer (in the fb_open) and after releasing it (in
the fb_release).  This defeats the purpose of these operations.

Francisco Jerez f0c7d2b72a vgacon: prevent vgacon_deinit from touching the hardware for inactive consoles.
fbcon makes the (reasonable) assumption that it only needs to program the
hardware once, when fbcon_init() is called for the foreground console.

This doesn't always play well with vgacon because vgacon_deinit() is only
doing its job when the last console it owns is closed (when switching from
vgacon to fbcon, that's usually *after* fbcon_init() has set the new
mode).

Depending on the hardware this can cause the wrong framebuffer location to
be scanned out (e.g.  reproduced on nv05 with the nouveau framebuffer
driver).

Ian Armstrong 2ddce3fd0a fbcon: only unbind from console if successfully registered
Attempting to unload a framebuffer module calls unregister_framebuffer()
which in turn gets fbcon to release it.  If fbcon has no framebuffers
linked to a console, it will also unbind itself from the console driver.
However, if fbcon never registered itself as a console driver, the unbind
will fail causing the framebuffer device entry to persist.  In most cases
this failure will result in an oops when attempting to access the now
non-existent device.

This patch ensures that the fbcon unbind request will succeed even if a
bind was never done.  It tracks if a successful bind ever occurred & will
only attempt to unbind if needed.  If there never was a bind, it simply
returns with no error.

Florian Tobias Schandinat 0fcf6ada2b fb: do not ignore fb_set_par errors
At the moment about half of the framebuffer drivers can return an error
code in fb_set_par. Until now it would be silently ignored by fbmem.c
and fbcon.c. This patch fixes fbmem.c to return the error code and
restore var on error.

But it is not clear in which video mode the device is when fb_set_par
fails.  It would be good and reasonable if it were in the old state but
there is no guarantee that this is true for all existing drivers.
Additionally print a message if a failing fb_set_par is detected in
fbmem.c or fbcon.c.

Although most errors should be caught by the previous fb_check_var some
errors can't as they are dynamic (memory allocations, ...) and can only be
detected while performing the operations which is forbidden in
fb_check_var.

This patch shouldn't have a negative impact on normal operation as all
drivers return 0 on success.  The impact in case of error depends heavily
on the driver and caller but it's expected to be better than before.

David S. Miller 09d3f3f0e0 sparc: Kill PROM console driver.
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

Johannes Weiner 0035fe00f7 fbcon: don't use vc_resize() on initialization
Catalin and kmemleak spotted a leak of a VC screen buffer in
vc_allocate() due to the following chain of events:

	vc_allocate()
	  visual_init(init=1)
	    vc->vc_sw->con_init(init=1)
              fbcon_init()
	        vc_resize()
	          vc->screen_buf = kmalloc()
	  vc->screen_buf = kmalloc()

The common way for the VC drivers is to set the screen dimension
parameters manually in the init case and only call vc_resize() for
!init - which allocates a screen buffer according to the new
dimensions.

fbcon instead would do vc_resize() unconditionally and afterwards set
the dimensions manually (again) for !init - i.e. completely upside
down.  The vc_resize() allocated buffer would then get lost by
vc_allocate() allocating a fresh one.

Use vc_resize() only for actual resizing to close the leak.

Set the dimensions manually only in initialization mode to remove the
redundant setting in resize mode.

The kmemleak trace from Catalin:

Stefan Bader b175dc0928 vgacon: return the upper half of 512 character fonts
Uwe Geuder noted that he gets random bitmaps on a text console if he tried
to type extended characters (like the e acute).  For him everything above
unicode 0xa0 was corrupted.

After some digging there seems to be a little culprit in vgacon since the
beginning of ages (well git).  The function vgacon_font_get will store the
number of characters correctly in font->charcount but then calls to
vgacon_do_font_op(..., 0, 0).  Which means only the lower 256 characters
are actually stored to the fontdata.  The rest is left untouched.  So the
next time that saved data is used, the garbled font appears.  This happens
on every switch between text consoles.

Dave Airlie f453ba0460 DRM: add mode setting support
Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.

This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace.  It was
motivated by several factors:
  - the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
    configurations
  - coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
    drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
  - user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
    messages more difficult
  - suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
    configurations with kernel level support

This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.

Geoff Levand beaa4867ee fbcon: fix workqueue shutdown
Add a call to cancel_work_sync() in fbcon_exit() to cancel any pending
work in the fbcon workqueue.

The current implementation of fbcon_exit() sets the fbcon workqueue
function info->queue.func to NULL, but does not assure that there is no
work pending when it does so.  On occasion, depending on system timing,
there will still be pending work in the queue when fbcon_exit() is
called.  This results in a null pointer deference when run_workqueue()
tries to call the queue's work function.

Fixes errors on shutdown similar to these:

Dmitry Baryshkov bca404afdc fbdev: fix FB console blanking
The commit aef7db4bd5 fixed the problem with
recursive locking in fb blanking code if blank is caused by user setting
the /sys/class/graphics/fb*/blank.  However this broke the fbcon timeout
blanking.

If you use a driver that defines ->fb_blank operation and at the same time
that driver relies on other driver (e.g.  backlight or lcd class) to blank
the screen, when the fbcon times out and tries to blank the fb, it will
call only fb driver blanker and won't notify the other driver.  Thus FB
output is disabled, but the screen isn't blanked.

Restore fbcon blanking and at the same time apply the proper fix for the
above problem: if fbcon_blank is called with FBINFO_FLAG_USEREVENT, we are
already called through notification from fb_blank, thus we don't have to
blank the fb again.

Linus Torvalds 93f78da405 Revert "vt: fix background color on line feed"
This reverts commit c9e587abfd, and the
subsequent commits that fixed it up:

 - afa9b649 "fbcon: prevent cursor disappearance after switching to 512
   character font"

 - d850a2fa "vt/fbcon: fix background color on line feed"

 - 7fe3915a "vt/fbcon: update scrl_erase_char after 256/512-glyph font
   switch"

by request of Alan Cox. Quoth Alan:
  "Unfortunately it's wrong and its been causing breakages because
   various apps like ncurses expect our previous (and correct)
   behaviour."

Alexander sent out a similar patch.

Krzysztof Helt aef7db4bd5 fbdev: fix recursive notifier and locking when fbdev console is blanked
Fix infinite recursive notifier in the fbdev layer.  This causes recursive

Impact: cleanup

Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.

Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.

vga= always possible now which is good.

Helge Deller fdac4e69a1 sticore: don't activate unsupported GSC STI cards on HPPA
On HPPA there exists some older GSC graphics cards, which need special
graphic-card-BIOS patching to become supported.  Since we don't have yet
implemented the patching, it's better to detect such cards in advance,
inform to the user that there are known problems and to not activate the
card.

Problematic GSC cards and BIOS versions are:
* Hyperdrive/Hyperbowl (A4071A) graphics card series:
   * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/8)
   * ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/11)
* Thunder 1 VISUALIZE 48 card:
   * ID = 0x2F23E5FC (Version 8.05/9)
* Thunder 2 VISUALIZE 48 XP card:
   * ID = 0x2F8D570E (Version 8.05/12)
* Some Hyperion and ThunderHawk GSC cards

Roland Kletzing 0b9cf3aa6b mdacon messing up default vc's - set default to vc13-16 again
mdacon incorrectly detects MDA hardware on systems without such graphics card.

One may load this module by chance, for example when doing some systematical
module-testing, and if there is no Monochrome Display Adapter attached ,
module init renders vc1-16 completely unusable.

I and others have run into this more than once.  see [Bug 224522 - modprobe
mdacon freezes machine -> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224522 ]
for example

Apparently  proper MDA detection seems to be broken for a long time - seems to
be related to those #ifdef TEST_MDA_B statements added by Edward Betts.

this commit back in 2002 made things even worse :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commit;h=c72757b49c88914433244757fb4967fc63546685

It changed default vc allocation from 13-16 to 1-16 for no apparent reason
(!?) , and with that (and without X), mdacon grabs the vc you`re currently
sitting on and locks you out.

this is from Kconfig :
>config MDA_CONSOLE
>        depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
>        tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
>        ---help---
>          Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
>          adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
>          will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
>          say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
>          normal VGA driver will handle it.

As we can see mdacon is just meant as an additional driver for dual-head
setup, and since kernel 2.4.36 still defaults to vc13-16 , setting the default
back to that value again shouldn`t do any harm.

Hereby i'm reverting that change, setting default back to to vc13-16 again.

Besides the fact that mdacon may be rarely or never be used these days and
could perhaps put to trash anyway (pre-dinosaur hardware!), indeed this is not
a real solution, but at least it removes the unfortunate side-effect of
messing up the vc you`re working on.

Jan Engelhardt d850a2fac1 vt/fbcon: fix background color on line feed
Another addendum to commit c9e587abfd
("vt: fix background color on line feed").

fbcon still was not doing the right thing (read: continued to do old
behavior).  fbcon_clear() seems to clear the new line (e.g.  where your new
prompt appears after doing echo -en "\e[42mfoo\n"), while scr_memsetw clears
the previous one only (where "foo" appears).  So just temporarily set the
video_erase_char to the scrl_erase_char so that fbcon_clear does the right
thing.

Jan Engelhardt c9e587abfd vt: fix background color on line feed
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as

	perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
	perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'

causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.

When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset.  However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color.  This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g.  `xterm -bg black`).

The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

Thomas Pfaff 91c4313206 fbcon: fix color generation for monochrome framebuffer
The current attr_fgcol_ec / attr_bgcol_ec macros do a simple shift of bits
to get the color from vc_video_erase_char.  For a monochrome display
however the attribute does not contain any color, only attribute bits.
Furthermore the reverse bit is lost because it is shifted out, the
resulting color is always 0.

This can bee seen on a monochrome console either directly or by setting it
to inverse mode via "setterm -inversescreen on" .  Text is written with
correct color, fb_fillrects from a bit_clear / bit_clear_margins will get
wrong colors.

Antonino Daplas 4d8a2d986d fbcon: delay the start of the cursor timer until a con_switch()
As reported in Bugzilla Bug 9093, upon switching to X, a small rectangular
cursor can still be seen blinking in the upper left part of the screen.  It is
fbcon's text cursor.  This is caused by a strange ioctl(..., KDSETMODE,
KD_TEXT) call done by something in userspace, perhaps by X itself, while the
tty is still in graphics mode.  And when the tty is in KD_TEXT mode, the
cursor timer is restarted.

Although this is a userspace problem, we can work around it by delaying the
restart of the cursor timer until an fbcon_switch() is called.  In other
words, the cursor timer will not be restarted even if a KD_TEXT mode switch is
requested.

Regression potential: Present but low

Antonino A. Daplas e400b6ec4e vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspace
Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize()
hook.  This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and
VT_RESIZEX ioctl's.  One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that
con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the
resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware.  However, this
particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug
7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size
larger than 80x25.

To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize().  This
parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon.  If this parameter is
non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl
and vgacon will always return success.  If this parameter is zero, vgacon will
return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware.  The
latter is the more correct behavior.

With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and
stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

Jesse Barnes cfafca8067 fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebuffer
This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates
the FB layer to use it.  This makes debugging new console drivers much easier,
since you can properly clean them up before unloading.

[adaplas]
unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's
module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is
holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver.  With this change,
it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed.

Additions from the original:  If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if
one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the
outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map).   Once only the outgoing driver remains,
then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is
set to y).

It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release()
just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these
drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().

- ensure that succeeding drivers after the first gets mapped to the console

  former's functionality
- ensure that binding and unbinding succeeds if multiple drivers are mapped to

Allow fbcon to select the primary display adapter using the

detected, fbcon will unbind the old adapter from the VT layer, then rebind

public.

Because this feature may produce unexpected behavior (from the user's POV),
this must be explicitly enabled in Kconfig.

Sam Ravnborg 353076fee8 [VIDEO]: Fix section mismatch warning in promcon.
Fix the following warnings in promcon:
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x480): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unitable (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x488): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unitable (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x48c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unicount (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x490): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unicount (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')

The warnings happens because the function: promcon_init_unimap()
references promfont_unitable and promfont_unicount which are marked
__initdata by the conmakehash command in the drivers/video/console/Makefile

Fix the warning by removing the __initdata marker on the two variables.

Antonino A. Daplas 2ae8547775 vgacon: disallow console operations when in KD_GRAPHICS mode
Reported by James Pearson as:

	 boot to run level 3

	 if not root, then make sure /dev/console is writeable

	 login and type:

	 setterm -blank 0

	 start X

	 type into an xterm:

	 while true; do echo "" > /dev/console; usleep 100000; done

	 while the above loop is running switch to the text console and back
	 again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7)

	 ... and the screen will be shifting (and wrapping) to the left.

This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which
is in KD_TEXT mode) while the foreground console is in KD_GRAPHICS
mode. Somewhere along the way, console printing got confused and omitted the
KD_GRAPHICS/KD_TEXT test.  Thus, vgacon attempted to scroll the screen of X,
which causes X to shift.

Fix by disallowing vgacon to touch the hardware when the vc is in KD_GRAPHICS
mode. A definitive fix entails a full audit of the console code.

Check if the mode can properly display the screen.  This will be needed by

For example, if a particular driver supports 2 modes where:

mode1 = can only display 8x16 bitmaps
mode2 = can display any bitmap

then if current mode = mode2 and current font = 12x22

It was always intended for the logo to be drawn only if both fbcon and the
driver that is mapped to it are both compiled statically.  Currently, if fbcon
is loaded prior to the driver, the logo is not shown.  Reverse the order, and
the code may attempt to draw the logo which is __initdata.  By accident, this
bug is rarely seen because this method of loading the modules is not common
and secondly, a code in fb_prepare_logo() that checks the height of the logo
(now a random value) rarely succeeds.

Fix by drawing the logo only if both fbcon and the driver are statically
compiled.

Tim Schmielau cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Franck Bui-Huu 024cd7e088 [PATCH] softcursor.c: avoid unaligned accesses
Fix some possible unaligned accesses when accessing fields of 'image'
pointer.  Indeed this pointer was obtained by allocating a block of memory
that embeds a temporary array plus an image structure.  The temporary
buffer was located at the start of the allocated block and depending on its
size, the image structure which comes right after can be unaligned.

For example when using mini fonts (4x6) (cursor's width is 4 and its height
is 6) the temporary buf size is 6 bytes.

Therefore this patch moves the image structure to the start of the block
and moves the temporary buffer right after.  It makes 'image' pointer
always aligned and since the tempo buf is a buffer of char, it's always
correctly aligned as well.

It also fixes the file header alignement.

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

Jon Smirl a8f340e394 [PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.h
MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one.  Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

Antonino A. Daplas e614b18dce [PATCH] VT binding: Update fbcon to support binding
The control for binding/unbinding is moved from fbcon to the console layer.
Thus the fbcon sysfs attributes, attach and detach, are also gone.

    1. Add a notifier event that tells fbcon if a framebuffer driver has been
       unregistered.  If no registered driver remains, fbcon will unregister
       itself from the console layer.

    2. Replaced calls to give_up_console() with unregister_con_driver().

    3. Still use take_over_console() instead of register_con_driver() to
       maintain compatibility

    4. Respect the parameter first_fb_vc and last_fb_vc instead of using 0 and
       MAX_NR_CONSOLES - 1. These parameters are settable by the user.

    5. When fbcon is completely unbound from the console layer, fbcon will
       also release (iow, decrement module reference counts to zero) all fbdev
       drivers. In other words, a bind or unbind request from the console layer
       will propagate down to the framebuffer drivers.

    6. If fbcon is not bound to the console, it will ignore all notifier
       events (except driver registration and unregistration) and all sysfs
       requests.

Antonino A. Daplas 5428b04405 [PATCH] Detaching fbcon: add capability to attach/detach fbcon
Add the ability to detach and attach the framebuffer console to and from the
vt layer.  This is done by echo'ing any value to sysfs attributes located in
class/graphics/fbcon.  The two attributes are:

      attach - bind fbcon to the vt layer
      detach - unbind fbcon from the vt layer

Once fbcon is detached from the vt layer, fbcon can be unloaded if compiled as
a module.  This feature is quite useful for developers who work on the
framebuffer or console subsystem.  This is also useful for users who want to
go to text mode or graphics mode without having to reboot.

Directly unloading the fbcon module is not possible because the vt layer
increments the module reference count for all bound consoles.  Detaching fbcon
decrements the module reference count to zero so unloading becomes possible.

Detaching fbcon may interfere with X and/or DRM.

Antonino A. Daplas 9a17917671 [PATCH] Detaching fbcon: sdd sysfs class device entry for fbcon
In order for this feature to work, an interface will be needed.  The most
appropriate is sysfs.  However, the framebuffer console has no sysfs entry
yet.  This will create a sysfs class device entry for fbcon under
/sys/class/graphics.

Add a class_device entry 'fbcon' under class 'graphics'.  Console-specific
attributes which where previously under class/graphics/fb[x] are moved to
class/graphics/fbcon.  These attributes, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all',
are also renamed to 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively.

Antonino A. Daplas 50ec42edd9 [PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix vgacon to allow retaking of the console
One of the limitations of the framebuffer console system is its inablity to
unload or detach itself from the console layer.  And once it loads, it also
locks in framebuffer drivers preventing their unload. Although the con2fbmap
utility does provide a means to unload individual drivers, it requires that at
least one framebuffer driver is loaded for use by fbcon.

With this change, it is possible to detach fbcon from the console layer. If it
is detached, it will reattach the boot console driver (which is permanently
loaded) back to the console layer so the system can continue to work.  As a
consequence, fbcon will also decrement its reference count of individual
framebuffer drivers, allowing all of these drivers to be unloaded even if
fbcon is still loaded.

Unless you use drivers that restores the display to text mode (rivafb and
i810fb, for example), detaching fbcon does require assistance from userspace
tools (ie, vbetools) for text mode to be restored completely.  Without the
help of these tools, fbcon will leave the VGA console corrupted. The methods
that can be used will be described in Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt.

Because the vt layer also increments the module reference count for each
console driver, fbcon cannot be directly unloaded.  It must be detached first
prior to unload.

Similarly, fbcon can be reattached to the console layer without having to
reload the module.  A nice feature if fbcon is compiled statically.

Attaching and detaching fbcon is done via sysfs attributes. A class device
entry for fbcon is created in /sys/class/graphics. The two attributes that
controls this feature are detach and attach. Two other attributes that are
piggybacked under /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] that are fbcon-specific,
'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all' are moved to fbcon.  They are renamed as
'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively.

Overall, this feature is a great help for developers working in the
framebuffer or console layer.  There is not need to continually reboot the
kernel for every small change. It is also useful for regular users who wants
to choose between a graphical console or a text console without having to
reboot.

Example usage for x86:

/* start in text mode */
modprobe xxxfb
modprobe fbcon
/* graphical mode with fbcon using xxxfb */
echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/detach
/* back to text mode, will produce corrupt display unless vbetool is used */
rmmod xxxfb
modprobe yyyfb
/* back to graphical mode with fbcon using yyyfb */

Before trying out this feature, please read Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt.

This patch:

In order for fbcon to detach itself from the console layer, vgacon, which is a
boot console driver, must be fixed so it can retake the console multiple
times, not just during init.  The following needs to be done:

- remove __init from the vgacon_startup, this is called again by
  take_over_console().

- vc->rows and vc->cols are set manually by vgacon during init. After init,
  vc_resize() can be used

- make sure the scrollback_buffer is not reallocated
