Wang YanQing c1f5e38a5d vt: delete unneeded function unbind_con_driver
Now there is no place use unbind_con_driver,
and we can achieve unbind_con_driver's function
with do_unbind_con_driver easily, so just delete
it to reduce code size and duplication.

Peter Hurley 421b40a628 tty/vt: Fix vc_deallocate() lock order
Now that the tty port owns the flip buffers and i/o is allowed
from the driver even when no tty is attached, the destruction
of the tty port (and the flip buffers) must ensure that no
outstanding work is pending.

Unfortunately, this creates a lock order problem with the
console_lock (see attached lockdep report [1] below).

For single console deallocation, drop the console_lock prior
to port destruction. When multiple console deallocation,
defer port destruction until the consoles have been
deallocated.

tty_port_destroy() is not required if the port has not
been used; remove from vc_allocate() failure path.

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.

Alan Cox 5d1a33fa55 vt: push the tty_lock down into the map handling
When we do this it becomes clear the lock we should be holding is the vc
lock, and in fact many of our other helpers are properly invoked this way.

We don't at this point guarantee not to race the keyboard code but the results
of that appear harmless and that was true before we started as well.

We now have no users of tty_lock in the console driver...

Alan Cox 079c9534a9 vt:tackle kbd_table
Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely
ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on

- Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users
- Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer
- Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress
- Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking
  around properly
- Tweak the braille console so it still builds

There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous
they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is
private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place.

This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

Mandeep Singh Baines c958474b6d panic, vt: do not force oops output when panic_timeout < 0
Don't force output if you intend to reboot immediately.

In this patch, I'm disabling the functionality enabled by
vc->vc_panic_force_write if panic_timeout < 0 (i.e.  no timeout).
vc_panic_force_write is only enabled for fb video consoles if the
FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag is set.

For our application, we're using ram_oops to preserved the panic in
memory.  We want to reliably, and as fast as possible, machine_restart.
The vc_panic_force_write flag results in a bunch of graphics driver code
to be invoked which slows down restart and decreases reliability.  Since
we're already storing the panic in RAM and are going to reboot
immediately, there is no benefit in mode switching back to the vc in
order to display the panic output.  The log buffer will get flushed by
the console_unblank() call so remote management consoles should see all
output.

Jiri Olsa fcdba07ee3 tty,vcs removing con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data.

The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this,
is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer.

Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code
in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history
goes - 2.6.12-rc2.

AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change.
The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the
vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated
via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing.

I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep
this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did
not find any pattern on different places.

I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different
threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we
could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.

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.

Eric W. Biederman 81af8d67d4 [PATCH] vt: rework the console spawning variables
This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test
this after soring out the locking.

This patch does several things.
- The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h
- A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values.
- Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against
  pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.

Alan Cox ca9bda00b4 [PATCH] tty locking on resize
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the
resize against the tty structure updates.  This means that while two
parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results
reported.

Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the
console.  This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console
driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good

Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any
longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

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.

Andrew Morton 760f1fce03 [PATCH] revert "swsusp add check for suspension of X controlled devices"
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

Revert commit ff4da2e262.

It broke APM suspend, probably because APM doesn't switch back to a VT
when suspending.

Tracked down by Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>

Rafael sayeth:
  "It only fixed the theoretical issue that a quick-handed user could
   switch to X after processes have been frozen and before the devices
   are suspended.

   With the current userland suspend tools it shouldn't be necessary."

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
