parisc/sticon: Add user font support

2020-10-15T06:12:59+00:00

This is a major rework of the sticon (parisc text console) driver in
order to support user font support.

Usually one want to use the stifb (parisc framebuffer driver) which is
based on fbcon and does support fonts and colors, but some old machines
(e.g. HP 730 workstations) don't provide a supported stifb graphic card,
and for those user fonts are preferred.

This patch drops unused code for software cursor and scrollback,
enhances the debug output and adds better documentation.

The code was tested on various machines with byte-mode and word-mode
graphic cards on GSC- and PCI-busses.

parisc/sticon: Always register sticon console driver

2020-10-15T06:10:39+00:00

If the ROM provides functional STI routines, always register the sticon
driver, even if the serial console was choosen as boot device.
Additionally, in that case, do not make the sticon driver the default
output console device.

fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros into linux/font.h

2020-09-25T08:28:18+00:00

drivers/video/console/newport_con.c is borrowing FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros
from drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.h. To keep things simple, move all
definitions into .

Since newport_con now uses four extra words, initialize the fourth word in
newport_set_font() properly.

vgacon: remove software scrollback support

2020-09-14T17:06:15+00:00

Yunhai Zhang recently fixed a VGA software scrollback bug in commit
ebfdfeeae8c0 ("vgacon: Fix for missing check in scrollback handling"),
but that then made people look more closely at some of this code, and
there were more problems on the vgacon side, but also the fbcon software
scrollback.

We don't really have anybody who maintains this code - probably because
nobody actually _uses_ it any more.  Sure, people still use both VGA and
the framebuffer consoles, but they are no longer the main user
interfaces to the kernel, and haven't been for decades, so these kinds
of extra features end up bitrotting and not really being used.

So rather than try to maintain a likely unused set of code, I'll just
aggressively remove it, and see if anybody even notices.  Maybe there
are people who haven't jumped on the whole GUI badnwagon yet, and think
it's just a fad.  And maybe those people use the scrollback code.

If that turns out to be the case, we can resurrect this again, once
we've found the sucker^Wmaintainer for it who actually uses it.

newport_con: make module's init & exit static using module_driver

2020-08-18T11:51:18+00:00

The compiler complains that newport_console_init and
newport_console_exit are not declared:
   drivers/video/console/newport_con.c:745:12: warning: no previous prototype for 'newport_console_init'
   drivers/video/console/newport_con.c:750:13: warning: no previous prototype for 'newport_console_exit'

Here, it translates into: they should be marked static. Do so by
converting the simple un/registration to module_driver().
