mdacon: rework dependency list

2025-03-26T21:39:20+00:00

mdacon has roughly the same dependencies as vgacon but expresses them
as a negative list instead of a positive list, with the only practical
difference being PowerPC/CHRP, which uses vga16fb instead of vgacon.

The CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE description advises to only turn it on when vgacon
is also used because MDA/Hercules-only systems should be using vgacon
instead, so just change the list to enforce that directly for simplicity.

The probing was broken from 2002 to 2008, this improves on the fix
that was added then: If vgacon is a loadable module, then mdacon
cannot be built-in now, and the list of systems that support vgacon
is carried over.

dummycon: fix default rows/cols

2025-03-26T21:39:20+00:00

dummycon fails to build on ARM/footbridge when the VGA console is
disabled, since I got the dependencies slightly wrong in a previous
patch:

drivers/video/console/dummycon.c: In function 'dummycon_init':
drivers/video/console/dummycon.c:27:25: error: 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE'?
   27 | #define DUMMY_COLUMNS   CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS
drivers/video/console/dummycon.c:28:25: error: 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE'?
   28 | #define DUMMY_ROWS      CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS

This only showed up after many thousand randconfig builds on Arm, and
doesn't matter in practice, but should still be fixed. Address it by
using the default row/columns on footbridge after all in that corner
case.

dummycon: only build module if there are users

2025-03-26T21:39:20+00:00

Dummycon is used as a fallback conswitchp for vgacon and fbcon
in the VT code, and there are no references to it if all three
are disabled, so just leave it out of the kernel image for
configurations without those.

video: console: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros

2024-06-22T07:52:36+00:00

With ARCH=i386, make allmodconfig && make W=1 C=1 reports:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/video/console/mdacon.o

Add the missing invocation of the MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro to all
files which have a MODULE_LICENSE().

This includes three other files which, although they did not produce a
warning with the i386 allmodconfig configuration, may cause this
warning with other configurations.

tty: vt: change consw::con_set_origin() return type

2024-01-28T02:08:54+00:00

The return value of consw::con_set_origin() is only true/false, meaining
if vc->vc_origin is set to vc->vc_screenbuf or not.

So switch the type and returned values accordingly.

And document the hook.

It's a name after all and that is not supposed to be changed. So make it
const to make this obvious.

2024-01-28T02:08:54+00:00

Both the mode_switch parameter and the return value (a redraw needed)
are true/false. So switch them to bool, so that users won't return
-Eerrors or anything else.

And document the hook.

There are VESA blanking constants defined in vesa.h. So use them in the
