    console: make blank timeout value a boot option · f324edc8
    Daniel Mack 提交于
    The console blank timer is currently hardcoded to 10*60 seconds which
    might be annoying on systems with no input devices attached to wake up the
    console again.  Especially during development, disabling the screen saver
    can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or
    other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at
    runtime from userspace.
    
    This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows
    users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0.
    The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl
    call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.
