Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order.
This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.
bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

The con_debug_leave/con_debug_enter functions are stubbed out

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console.
The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog
to the console= kernel command line option.
The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual
console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.

During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.
A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m1.142s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.540s
If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
$ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
real 0m0.152s
user 0m0.030s
sys 0m0.072s

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.

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).
This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc117dff26058fbac316b8acfc2cb5f7
did that for us.
Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.
Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.
Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.
This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.
For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.

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.

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

The framebuffer console is now able to dynamically bind and unbind from the VT
console layer. Due to the way the VT console layer works, the drivers
themselves decide when to bind or unbind. However, it was decided that
binding must be controlled, not by the drivers themselves, but by the VT
console layer. With this, dynamic binding is possible for all VT console
drivers, not just fbcon.
Thus, the VT console layer will impose the following to all VT console
drivers:
- all registered VT console drivers will be entered in a private list
- drivers can register themselves to the VT console layer, but they cannot
decide when to bind or unbind. (Exception: To maintain backwards
compatibility, take_over_console() will automatically bind the driver after
registration.)
- drivers can remove themselves from the list by unregistering from the VT
console layer. A prerequisite for unregistration is that the driver must not
be bound.
The following functions are new in the vt.c:
register_con_driver() - public function, this function adds the VT console
driver to an internal list maintained by the VT console
bind_con_driver() - private function, it binds the driver to the console
take_over_console() is changed to call register_con_driver() followed by a
bind_con_driver(). This is the only time drivers can decide when to bind to
the VT layer. This is to maintain backwards compatibility.
unbind_con_driver() - private function, it unbinds the driver from its
console. The vacated consoles will be taken over by the default boot console
driver.
unregister_con_driver() - public function, removes the driver from the
internal list maintained by the VT console. It will only succeed if the
driver is currently unbound.
con_is_bound() checks if the driver is currently bound or not
give_up_console() is just a wrapper to unregister_con_driver().
There are also 3 additional functions meant to be called only by the tty layer
for sysfs control:
vt_bind() - calls bind_con_driver()
vt_unbind() - calls unbind_con_driver()
vt_show_drivers() - shows the list of registered drivers
Most VT console drivers will continue to work as is, but might have problems
when unbinding or binding which should be fixable with minimal changes.

Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to
actually print anything to the console unless
cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true.
The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu
resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup
correctly. Fair enough.
However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during
boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that.
So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken)
called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called
anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online.
Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus
console driver that BUG()s if called while offline. No problems AFAICT.

CON_BOOT is like early printk in that it allows for output really early on.
It's better than early printk because it unregisters automatically when a
real console is initialised. So if you don't get consoles registering in
console_init, there isn't a huge delay between the boot console
unregistering and the real console starting. This is the case on PA-RISC
where we have serial ports that aren't discovered until the PCI bus has
been walked.
I think all the current early printk users could be converted to this
scheme with a minimal amount of effort.

PM related bugs possible on a whole range of them.
However, the fbdev wakeup code triggers WARN_ON's in the VT subsystem if
called without the console semaphore when redrawing the screen (I added those
warnings a couple of kernel versions ago), and we can't call
acquire_console_sem() since we are so early in the wakeup process that we are
considered as in_atomic() (we hold irqs off too).
This patch addds a try_acquire_console_sem() function that can be used by
those video drivers that implement this early wakeup hook. If the acquire
fails (which should never happen in practice), wakeup is delayed to the normal
PCI callback which does a blocking acquire_console_sem().

->con_font_get() sanitized. We pass console_font * to method instead of
console_font_op * and do not mess with mixing ->data in these guys.

con_font_set() sanitized. We are passing console_font and flags into
the method in separate arguments and we are not messing with
console_font_op->data anymore - it's a userland pointer (to be annotated
several patches later in the series, due to another abuse of console_font_op
that needs to be fixed first), while console_font->data is kernel one
and they don't mix anymore.
We also do a sanity check (font width > 0) in the caller instead of
method instances, since we are already checking for width <= 32 and
height <= 32 there; doesn't make sense leaving that one in method
instances.

->con_font_copy() sanitized. We extract the number of console to copy the
font from in the caller (it's taken from the field of console_font_op that
is normally used for font height - messy even for an ioctl, but that animal
used to be passed all the way down into console drivers).
With decoding done in con_font_copy(), we simply pass source console number
into the method.

->con_font_default() sanitized. We copy font name (if any) from userland

of console_font_op in method arguments.

Preparations for cleanups: con_font_op() is turned into a switch calling
con_font_{get,set,default,copy} depending on the operation required;
method ->con_font_op() also split, with NULL resulting in -ENOSYS on
operation in question.
Code that used to be in con_font_op() got slightly cleaned up after move
into new helpers (we are beginning to untangle the mess; there will be
more cleanups in the next patches).
Methods are currently using exact same arguments as old ->con_font_op().
That will change in subsequent patches, method by method (right now there's
a hell of a scary field reuse between them, making impossible to do any
static checks and practically begging for bugs).

Add console_stop() and console_start() methods so the serial drivers
can disable console output before suspending a port, and re-enable output
afterwards.
We also add locking to ensure that we synchronise with any in-progress
printk.

The following patch adds basic module reference counting to vt console
drivers. Currently modules like fbcon are not counted at all.

This patch implements what we discussed earlier to fix the switch bewteen
KD_GRAPHICS and KD_TEXT.
It has been tested for a few days now and appear to resolve the problem for
affected users.
James: I know you have some objections, I don't fully agree with them, and
I want that in asap now, that bug has been plaguing fbdev since the very
beginning and it's time to get rid of that and my corresponding todolist
entry. You are welcome to propose a patch on top of this one if you feel
you can make things cleaner. The approach of adding a parameter to
con_blank() is Linus idea btw :)
I didn't add a separate function as that would have made the butchering of
drivers/char/vt beyond what I want to deal with in 2.6.

- Make sure that all console operations are approriately protected under
console_sem.
- Adds checks to make sure that people are taking console_sem when it is
expected to be held.

Add a generic add_preferred_console() to printk.c so that other

From: Amit Shah <shahamit@gmx.net>
The read function for consoles in include/linux/console.h contains const
char* for a pointer that it will actually modify. Although no one seems
to be using this as of now, it should be corrected.

Console drivers cleanup. In current tree interaction between
console and tty layer sits in the ->device() method of struct console.
It takes a pointer to console and returns device number of its tty
device. open(2) on /dev/console goes through the list of registered
consoles, picks the first one that has ->device() and remaps the device
number to console->device(console). Then it proceeds with normal
opening of tty. This is the only caller of ->device().
Cleanup: let ->device() return a pair (pointer to tty_driver, index
of tty in question) instead of device number. Note that
a) the first thing tty_open() does with remapped device number is
conversion to such pair.
b) console driver _knows_ which tty_driver we want - one that
implements tty interface to the same physical device (i.e. the part of
the same driver).
c) current code expects the result of ->device() to be a device
number of tty device - anything else is immediate -ENODEV from tty_open();
might as well have NULL ->device in that driver.
Console drivers converted, (the only) caller updated.

Preparation to console->device() cleanup: serial drivers converted
to common helper for their ->device() methods.
