Fix font dependency for SGI Newport console driver

2007-08-31T08:42:22+00:00

We better select a font when the newport driver is a module or the user
experience might suffer.

* 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kyle/parisc-2.6:
  [PARISC] Add NOTES section
  [PARISC] Use compat_sys_getdents
  [PARISC] Do not allow STI_CONSOLE to be modular
  [PARISC] Clean up sti_flush
  [PARISC] Add dummy isa_(bus|virt)_to_(virt|bus) inlines
  [PARISC] Add empty

[PARISC] Do not allow STI_CONSOLE to be modular

2007-08-27T04:29:24+00:00

It doesn't really make much sense, anyways, and would need a pile of
symbols exported.

[PARISC] Clean up sti_flush

2007-08-27T04:29:23+00:00

sti_flush is supposed to flush the caches so we can execute the STI rom
we copied to memory. Anything more than flush_icache_range is overkill.

Fixes a missing symbol when built as a module.

newport_con warning fix

2007-08-23T02:52:47+00:00

drivers/video/console/newport_con.c: In function `newport_console_init':
drivers/video/console/newport_con.c:743: warning: return makes integer from pointer without a cast

Although one wonders whether that should have been -ENODEV...

fbcon: Fix typo and bogus logic in get_default_font

2007-07-31T22:39:37+00:00

Reported in: Bugzilla Bug 8727

Fix typo and bogus logic in get_default_font(). The bug results in
get_default_font() returning a font that may not be displayed properly by a
framebuffer driver.

console: fix section mismatch warning in vgacon.c

2007-07-22T00:49:14+00:00

Fix following section mismatch warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x121e62): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'vgacon_startup' and 'vgacon_scrolldelta')

Browsing the code it seems that vgacon_scrollback_startup() is only called
during the init phase so the reference to the .init.text section is OK.

Teach modpost not to warn using ___init_refok.

fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebuffer

2007-07-17T17:23:11+00:00

This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates
the FB layer to use it.  This makes debugging new console drivers much easier,
since you can properly clean them up before unloading.

[adaplas]
unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's
module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is
holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver.  With this change,
it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed.

Additions from the original:  If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if
one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the
outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map).   Once only the outgoing driver remains,
then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is
set to y).

It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release()
just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these
drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().

fbcon: Revise primary device selection

2007-07-17T17:23:11+00:00

Use set_con2fb_map() to select the primary display driver instead of using
unbind_con_driver() and bind_con_driver().  Using the former is much simpler
and safer than the current one.
