console: Introduce ->exit() callback

2020-02-11T09:44:22Z

Some consoles might require special operations on unregistering. For instance, serial console, when registered in the kernel, keeps power on for entire time, until it gets unregistered. Example of use: ->setup(console): pm_runtime_get(...); ->exit(console): pm_runtime_put(...); For such cases to have a balance we would provide ->exit() callback.

panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer

2019-05-18T22:52:26Z

Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic(). Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to replay all dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due to the loglevel setting, which will help panic debugging .

console: Replace #if 0 with atomic var 'ignore_console_lock_warning'

2018-07-31T11:06:57Z

The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters the console's critical section without having acquired the console lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary warnings. The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it. Acknoledgements: This patch is based on an earlier version by Steven Rostedt. The use of atomic increment/decrement was suggested by Petr Mladek.

console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover

2018-06-28T13:20:30Z

Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered. This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer (typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is. The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not enable fbcon. This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option, which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the "quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as soon as e.g. an error message is logged. Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver, rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after 2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only feasible option. Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

console: Fill in struct consw argument names

2018-02-27T09:17:33Z

Reading the function declarations for the console callbacks lacks any hints as to what the arguments are. Instead of going and digging around in various implementations that may each only have a subset of the callbacks, name all the arguments in the declaration. This has no functional change.

console: move console_init() out of tty_io.c

2017-04-18T16:01:52Z

All the console driver handling code lives in printk.c. Move console_init() there as well so console support can still be used when the TTY code is configured out. No logical changes from this patch. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

console: Add callback to flush scrollback buffer to consw struct

2017-01-25T10:54:02Z

This new callback is in preparation for persistent scrollback buffer support for VGA consoles. With a single scrollback buffer for all consoles, we could flush the buffer just by invocating consw->con_switch(). But when each VGA console has its own scrollback buffer, we need a new callback to tell the video console driver which buffer to flush.
