console/dummy: Move screen size selection from CPP to Kconfig

2015-01-13T12:54:48+00:00

PA-RISC already handled the dummy console screen size selection in
Kconfig, so generalize this to other platforms.

ARM keeps on using screen_info, which is filled in by
platform-specific code, or from ATAGS.

video: vgacon: Don't build on arm64

2014-01-17T08:57:45+00:00

arm64 is unlikely to have a VGA console and does not export screen_info
causing build failures if the driver is build, for example in all*config.
Add a dependency on !ARM64 to prevent this.

This list is getting quite long, it may be easier to depend on a symbol
which architectures that do support the driver can select.

fbdev: fbcon: select VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING

2013-08-02T23:17:51+00:00

fbdev provides framebuffer hotplugging, hence, we need to allow fbcon to
unbind from framebuffers. Unfortunately, fbcon_fb_unbind() cannot unbind
from the last framebuffer, unless console-unbinding is supported.

Fixing fbcon_unbind() to return 0 caused some horrible NULL-derefs in the
VT layer and I couldn't figure out why. Hence, lets just require
console-unbinding so fbdev hotplugging works with fbcon.

lib: Move fonts from drivers/video/console/ to lib/fonts/

2013-06-28T08:28:22+00:00

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
support code selection logic").
Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
CONFIG_VT=y again.

console/font: Refactor font support code selection logic

2013-06-23T13:55:16+00:00

The current Makefile rules to build font support are messy and buggy.
Replace them by Kconfig rules:
  - Introduce CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT, which controls the building of all font
    code,
  - Select CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT for all drivers that use fonts,
  - Select CONFIG_FONT_8x16 for all drivers that default to the VGA8x16
    font,
  - Drop the bogus console dependency for CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI,
  - Always process drivers/video/console/Makefile, as some drivers need
    fonts even if CONFIG_VT is not set.

This fixes (if CONFIG_SOLO6X10=y and there are no built-in console
drivers):

drivers/built-in.o: In function `solo_osd_print':
drivers/staging/media/solo6x10/solo6x10-enc.c:144: undefined reference to `.find_font'

This fixes (if CONFIG_VT=n):

drivers/built-in.o: In function `vivi_init':
vivi.c:(.init.text+0x1a3da): undefined reference to `find_font'

drivers/video/console: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-21T22:52:45+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

video/console: automatically select a font

2012-06-09T12:51:11+00:00

The frame buffer console needs at least one font to be built into
the kernel, so add the necessary Kconfig magic to guarantee that
one of the available font is always on. If a user accidentally
disables all fonts manually, the 8x16 font will be selected
anyway.

Kconfig: remove a few puzzling comments

2011-10-31T09:58:48+00:00

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.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05+00:00

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.
