fbcon: Fix vc attr at deinit

2017-03-30T07:44:10+00:00

commit 8aac7f34369726d1a158788ae8aff3002d5eb528 upstream.

fbcon can deal with vc_hi_font_mask (the upper 256 chars) and adjust
the vc attrs dynamically when vc_hi_font_mask is changed at
fbcon_init().  When the vc_hi_font_mask is set, it remaps the attrs in
the existing console buffer with one bit shift up (for 9 bits), while
it remaps with one bit shift down (for 8 bits) when the value is
cleared.  It works fine as long as the font gets updated after fbcon
was initialized.

However, we hit a bizarre problem when the console is switched to
another fb driver (typically from vesafb or efifb to drmfb).  At
switching to the new fb driver, we temporarily rebind the console to
the dummy console, then rebind to the new driver.  During the
switching, we leave the modified attrs as is.  Thus, the new fbcon
takes over the old buffer as if it were to contain 8 bits chars
(although the attrs are still shifted for 9 bits), and effectively
this results in the yellow color texts instead of the original white
color, as found in the bugzilla entry below.

An easy fix for this is to re-adjust the attrs before leaving the
fbcon at con_deinit callback.  Since the code to adjust the attrs is
already present in the current fbcon code, in this patch, we simply
factor out the relevant code, and call it from fbcon_deinit().

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

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.

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the tty/serial patchset for 4.10-rc1.

  It's been a quiet kernel cycle for this subsystem, just a small number
  of changes. A few new serial drivers, and some cleanups to the old
  vgacon logic, and other minor serial driver changes as well.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

openrisc: prevent VGA console, fix builds

2016-12-12T14:10:29+00:00

OpenRISC does not support VGA console, so prevent that kconfig symbol
from being enabled for OpenRISC, thus fixing these build errors:

   vgacon.c:(.text+0x20e0): undefined reference to `screen_info'

vgacon: remove prehistoric macros

2016-10-27T14:37:44+00:00

These macros:
* CAN_LOAD_EGA_FONTS
* CAN_LOAD_PALETTE
* TRIDENT_GLITCH
* VGA_CAN_DO_64KB
* SLOW_VGA
are either always set or always unset. They come from the linux 2.1
times. And given nobody switched them to some configurable options, I
assume nobody actually uses them.

So remove the macros and leave in place appropriate branches of the
conditional code.

vgacon: switch boolean variables to bool

2016-10-27T14:37:44+00:00

These variables:
* vga_can_do_color
* vgacon_text_mode_force
* vga_font_is_default
* vga_hardscroll_enabled
* vga_hardscroll_user_enable
* vga_init_done
* vga_is_gfx
* vga_palette_blanked
* vga_512_chars
are used exclusively as a boolean value, so make them really a bool.

Remove also useless "? true : false".

__read_mostly annotations removed too as they obfuscate the code and I
doubt they improve anything measurable given the variables are used
from .con_scroll, .con_startup and such.

tty: vgacon+sisusb, move scrolldelta to a common helper

2016-10-27T14:37:44+00:00

The code is mirrorred in scrolldelta implementations of both vgacon
and sisusb. Let's move the code to a separate helper where we will
perform a common cleanup and further changes.

While we are moving the code, make it linear and save one indentation
level. This is done by returning from the "!lines" then-branch
immediatelly. This allows flushing the else-branch 1 level to the
left, obviously.

Few more new lines and comments were added too.

And do not forget to export the helper function given sisusb can be
built as module.

tty: vt, cleanup and document con_scroll

2016-10-27T14:37:43+00:00

Scrolling helpers scrup and scrdown both accept 'top' and 'bottom' as
unsigned int. Number of lines 'nr' is accepted as int, but all callers
pass down unsigned too. So change the type of 'nr' to unsigned too.
Now, promote unsigned int from the helpers up to the con_scroll
hook which actually accepted all those as signed int.

Next, the 'dir' parameter can have only two values and we define
constants for that: SM_UP and SM_DOWN. Switch them to enum and do
proper type checking on 'dir' too.

Finally, document the behaviour of the hook.

tty: vt, convert more macros to functions

2016-06-25T16:04:48+00:00

Namely convert:
* IS_FG -> con_is_fg
* DO_UPDATE -> con_should_update
* CON_IS_VISIBLE -> con_is_visible

DO_UPDATE was a weird name for a yes/no answer, so the new name is
con_should_update.
