2016-10-27vgacon: remove prehistoric macrosJiri Slaby1-49/+0
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.

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.

2016-10-27tty: vgacon+sisusb, move scrolldelta to a common helperJiri Slaby1-25/+2
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.

2016-10-27tty: vt, cleanup and document con_scrollJiri Slaby1-7/+5
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. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Thomas Winischhofer <thomas@winischhofer.net> Cc: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ti.com> Cc: "James E.J.

2014-06-09drm/i915: Kick out vga consoleDaniel Vetter1-0/+1
Touching the VGA resources on an IVB EFI machine causes hard hangs when we then kick out the efifb. Ouch. Apparently this also prevents unclaimed register errors on hsw and hard machine hangs on my i855gm when trying to unbind fbcon. Also, we want this to make I915_FBDEV=n safe. v2: Rebase and pimp commit message. v3: We also need to unregister the vga console, otherwise the unbind of the fb console before module unload might resurrect it again. v4: Ignore errors when the vga console is already unregistered - this can happen when e.g. reloading i915.ko.

2014-05-29console: Use explicit pointer type for vc_uni_pagedir* fieldsTakashi Iwai1-2/+2
The vc_data.vc_uni_pagedir filed is currently long int, supposedly to be served generically. This, however, leads to lots of cast to pointer, and rather it worsens the readability significantly. Actually, we have now only a single uni_pagedir map implementation, and this won't change likely. So, it'd be much more simple and error-prone to just use the exact pointer for struct uni_pagedir instead of long. Ditto for vc_uni_pagedir_loc. It's a pointer to the uni_pagedir, thus it can be changed similarly to the exact type. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2014-05-29vgacon: Fix & cleanup refcountingTakashi Iwai1-7/+8
The vgacon driver prepares a two element array of uni_pagedir_loc and uses the second item as its own reference counter for sharing the uni_pagedir. And the code assumes blindly that the second item is available if the assigned vc_uni_pagedir isn't the standard one, which might be wrong (although currently it's so). This patch fixes that wrong assumption, and gives a slight cleanup along with it: namely, instead of array, just give the uni_pagedir_loc and a separate refcount variable. It makes the code a bit more understandable at first glance. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

2013-02-07vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)Dave Airlie1-7/+15
When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus the new font misrenders. The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on screen at boot and is quite ugly. A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen no longer corrupts. v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we are are going to or from 512 chars.

2011-01-13vgacon: check for efi machineYannick Heneault1-1/+2
It seems there is a small problem of VGA palette corruption on EFI machine. When the kernel initializes the architecture, it checks if the machine is a EFI machine and assumes that a VGA console can exist. When it initializes the console in vgacon_startup it checks if it can really use the VGA console. I think this is where a check is missing. Currently, the function can fail if a VESA boot mode is detected but not if a EFI boot mode was used. Thus vgacon_startup() doesn't fail and initialize the video card for a real VGA mode. This function changes the first 16entries of the VGA palette. When the efifb driver kicks in, the palette is not restored to default ramp value, thus the 16 first entry remain in a modified state. The following patch prevent this corruption. Signed-off-by: Yannick Heneault <yheneaul@matrox.com> Cc: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> Cc: "H.

2009-09-23vgacon: prevent vgacon_deinit from touching the hardware for inactive consoles.Francisco Jerez1-3/+5
fbcon makes the (reasonable) assumption that it only needs to program the hardware once, when fbcon_init() is called for the foreground console. This doesn't always play well with vgacon because vgacon_deinit() is only doing its job when the last console it owns is closed (when switching from vgacon to fbcon, that's usually *after* fbcon_init() has set the new mode). Depending on the hardware this can cause the wrong framebuffer location to be scanned out (e.g. reproduced on nv05 with the nouveau framebuffer driver).

2009-05-03vgacon: return the upper half of 512 character fontsStefan Bader1-1/+1
Uwe Geuder noted that he gets random bitmaps on a text console if he tried to type extended characters (like the e acute). For him everything above unicode 0xa0 was corrupted. After some digging there seems to be a little culprit in vgacon since the beginning of ages (well git). The function vgacon_font_get will store the number of characters correctly in font->charcount but then calls to vgacon_do_font_op(..., 0, 0). Which means only the lower 256 characters are actually stored to the fontdata. The rest is left untouched. So the next time that saved data is used, the garbled font appears. This happens on every switch between text consoles.

2008-12-29DRM: add mode setting supportDave Airlie1-0/+17
Add mode setting support to the DRM layer. This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace. It was motivated by several factors: - the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple configurations - coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted) - user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops messages more difficult - suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more configurations with kernel level support This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs. Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.

2008-04-29vt: fix background color on line feedJan Engelhardt1-2/+2
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active, such as perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' and perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely filled with the currently active background color instead of the default color. When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`). The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

2007-10-16vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspaceAntonino A. Daplas1-3/+4
Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize() hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug 7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size larger than 80x25. To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The latter is the more correct behavior. With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

2007-07-22console: fix section mismatch warning in vgacon.cSam Ravnborg1-1/+5
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.

Refine SCREEN_INFO sanity check for vgacon initialization. Checking video mode field only to see whenever SCREEN_INFO is initialized is not enougth, in some cases it is zero although a vga card is present. Lets additionally check cols and lines.

2007-05-08vgacon: disallow console operations when in KD_GRAPHICS modeAntonino A. Daplas1-1/+4
Reported by James Pearson as: boot to run level 3 if not root, then make sure /dev/console is writeable login and type: setterm -blank 0 start X type into an xterm: while true; do echo "" > /dev/console; usleep 100000; done while the above loop is running switch to the text console and back again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7) ... and the screen will be shifting (and wrapping) to the left. This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which is in KD_TEXT mode) while the foreground console is in KD_GRAPHICS mode. Somewhere along the way, console printing got confused and omitted the KD_GRAPHICS/KD_TEXT test. Thus, vgacon attempted to scroll the screen of X, which causes X to shift. Fix by disallowing vgacon to touch the hardware when the vc is in KD_GRAPHICS mode. A definitive fix entails a full audit of the console code.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau1-1/+0
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-07-11[PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.hJon Smirl1-0/+1
screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be included by tty.h. This patches removes the include and modifies all users to directly include screen_info.h. struct screen_info is mainly used to communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console. Note that this patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it. If there is a mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.
