tty: vt, remove unused vc_deccolm

2016-06-25T16:04:48Z

vc_deccolm is only set and never read, remove the member from vc_data. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: vt, convert more macros to functions

2016-06-25T16:04:48Z

Namely convert: * IS_FG -> con_is_fg * DO_UPDATE -> con_should_update * CON_IS_VISIBLE -> con_is_visible DO_UPDATE was a weird name for a yes/no answer, so the new name is con_should_update.

vt: document vc_data by example

2016-06-25T16:04:48Z

All those members of vc_data are each explained in short. But it needs an example for one to understand the whole picture. So add an ascii art depicting the most important vc_data members. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vt: add cursor blink interval escape sequence

2015-05-10T17:15:52Z

Add an escape sequence to specify the current console's cursor blink interval. The interval is specified as a number of milliseconds until the next cursor display state toggle, from 50 to 65535. /proc/loadavg did not show a difference with a one msec interval, but the lower bound is set to 50 msecs since slower hardware wasn't tested. Store the interval in the vc_data structure for later access by fbcon, initializing the value to fbcon's current hardcoded value of 200 msecs.

console: Use explicit pointer type for vc_uni_pagedir* fields

2014-05-28T20:37:21Z

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 Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Move the vt_tty field from the vc_data into the standard tty_port

2010-08-10T20:47:42Z

This takes all the tty references through the expected interface points so we can refcount them. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Make vt's have a tty_port

2010-08-10T20:47:41Z

The vt layer isn't safely handling reference counts to tty object on the input side. Add a tty port structure to the vt layer in order to implement this using the standard helpers. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Cc: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vt/console: try harder to print output when panicing

2010-08-10T20:47:40Z

Jesse's initial patch commit said: "At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since some drivers are capable of flipping back to it. So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a panic context." I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

vt: drop bootmem/slab memory distinction

2009-07-16T16:19:16Z

Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now available at the time the console is initialized. Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem, it's always slab. This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly: Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator") replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to 1 and the memory block is later leaked. The corresponding kmemleak trace: unreferenced object 0xdf828000 (size 8192): comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294937296 backtrace: [] __save_stack_trace+0x17/0x1c [] log_early+0x55/0x84 [] kmemleak_alloc+0x33/0x3c [] __kmalloc+0xd7/0xe4 [] con_init+0xbf/0x1b8 [] console_init+0x11/0x20 [] start_kernel+0x137/0x1e4 Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg Tested-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Revert "vt: fix background color on line feed"

2008-10-14T19:12:02Z

This reverts commit c9e587abfdec2c2aaa55fab83bcb4972e2f84f9b, and the subsequent commits that fixed it up: - afa9b649 "fbcon: prevent cursor disappearance after switching to 512 character font" - d850a2fa "vt/fbcon: fix background color on line feed" - 7fe3915a "vt/fbcon: update scrl_erase_char after 256/512-glyph font switch" by request of Alan Cox. Quoth Alan: "Unfortunately it's wrong and its been causing breakages because various apps like ncurses expect our previous (and correct) behaviour." Alexander sent out a similar patch.
