[ Upstream commit 2122b40580dd9d0620398739c773d07a7b7939d0 ]

When unregistering fbdev using unregister_framebuffer(), any bound
console will unbind automatically. This is working fine if this is the
only framebuffer, resulting in a switch to the dummy console. However if
there is a fb0 and I unregister fb1 having a bound console, I eventually
get a crash. The fastest way for me to trigger the crash is to do a
reboot, resulting in this splat:

The problem is in the console rebinding in fbcon_fb_unbind(). It uses the
virtual console index as the new framebuffer index to bind the console(s)
to. The correct way is to use the con2fb_map lookup table to find the
framebuffer index.

[ Upstream commit c82084117f79bcae085e40da526253736a247120 ]

Set the resource type when we reserve VGA-related I/O port resources.

The resource code doesn't actually look at the type, so it inserts
resources without a type in the tree correctly even without this change.
But if we ever print a resource without a type, it looks like this:

  vga+ [??? 0x000003c0-0x000003df flags 0x0]

Setting the type means it will be printed correctly as:

  vga+ [io  0x000003c0-0x000003df]

<title>fbcon: Fix vc attr at deinit</title>

<content type='text'>
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().

Namely convert:
* IS_FG -&gt; con_is_fg
* DO_UPDATE -&gt; con_should_update
* CON_IS_VISIBLE -&gt; con_is_visible

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

It is never called since commit 81732c3b2fede (tty vt: Fix line
garbage in virtual console on command line edition) in 3.7. So remove
all the callbacks.

This means all -&gt;con_set_palette have to have the second parameter
const too now.

<title>fbcon: set a default value to blink interval</title>

<id>a1e533ec07d583d01349ef13c0c965b8633e1b91</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 27a4c827c34ac4256a190cc9d24607f953c1c459
	fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt

two attempts have been made at fixing a possible hang caused by
cursor_timer_handler. That function registers a timer to be triggered at
"jiffies + fbcon_ops.cur_blink_jiffies".

A new case had been encountered during initialisation of clcd-pl11x:

    fbcon_fb_registered
    do_fbcon_takeover

    -&gt;  do_register_con_driver
        fbcon_startup
    (A) add_cursor_timer (with cur_blink_jiffies = 0)

    -&gt;  do_bind_con_driver
        visual_init
        fbcon_init
    (B) cur_blink_jiffies = msecs_to_jiffies(vc-&gt;vc_cur_blink_ms);

If we take an softirq anywhere between A and B (and we do),
cursor_timer_handler executes indefinitely.

Instead of patching all possible paths that lead to this case one at a
time, fix the issue at the source and initialise cur_blink_jiffies to
200ms when allocating fbcon_ops. This was its default value before
aforesaid commit. fbcon_cursor or fbcon_init will refine this value
downstream.
