vt: make mouse selection of non-ASCII consistent

2017-04-11T19:39:15+00:00

For some reason a handful of ISO-8859-1 symbols are excluded from "word
chars" while the vast majority of Unicode is hard-coded as included, even
when inappropriate (we really would want to _not_ select line-drawing/etc).
Those symbols are: ¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿×÷

Thus, let's not special-case any non-ASCII anymore.  Attempts to set these
via ioctl will be silently ignored.

As an extra bonus, we debloat the kernel by 128 bytes.

vt: set mouse selection word-chars to gpm's default

2017-04-11T19:39:14+00:00

Since forever, gpm was this code's only user, and it overrides the table on
start so the default was never seen -- until Bill Allombert's "consolation"
came in.  The in-kernel set is "A-Za-z0-9_" which fails to catch typical
file names, etc.  Let's change this to gpm's conservative default, ie
"-A-Za-z0-9_./"; most terminals include more, for example xfce4-terminal has
"-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_=+@~".

There's some discussion at https://bugs.debian.org/846587

tty: Disable default console blanking interval

2017-03-31T14:56:10+00:00

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869017

Console blanking is not enabling DPMS power saving (thereby negating any
power-saving benefit), and is simply turning the screen content blank. This
means that any crash output is invisible which is unhelpful on a server
(virtual or otherwise).

Furthermore, CRT burn in concerns should no longer govern the default case.
Affected users could always set consoleblank on the kernel command line.

sched/headers: Remove duplicate #include line

2017-03-28T07:56:03+00:00

Vito Caputo reported that the sched.h split-up series
introduced a duplicate #include  line
in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c.

Remove it.

lib/show_mem.c: teach show_mem to work with the given nodemask

2017-02-23T00:41:30+00:00

show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant
to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES.  The filtering is
done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the
mems_allowed of the current process.  This works most of the time as
expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating
task but there are some exceptions.  E.g.  memory hotplug might want to
request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see
new_node_page).

Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the
show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed.  NULL
nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

console: Add callback to flush scrollback buffer to consw struct

2017-01-25T10:54:02+00:00

This new callback is in preparation for persistent scrollback buffer
support for VGA consoles.
With a single scrollback buffer for all consoles, we could flush the
buffer just by invocating consw->con_switch(). But when each VGA console
has its own scrollback buffer, we need a new callback to tell the
video console driver which buffer to flush.

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.
