The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was hardcoded for some reason. This made it impossible to change the color for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles. Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch. Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

Now that the tty port owns the flip buffers and i/o is allowed from the driver even when no tty is attached, the destruction of the tty port (and the flip buffers) must ensure that no outstanding work is pending. Unfortunately, this creates a lock order problem with the console_lock (see attached lockdep report [1] below). For single console deallocation, drop the console_lock prior to port destruction. When multiple console deallocation, defer port destruction until the consoles have been deallocated. tty_port_destroy() is not required if the port has not been used; remove from vc_allocate() failure path.

Commit 81732c3b ("tty vt: Fix line garbage in virtual console on command line edition") broke insert_char() in multiple ways. Then commit b1a925f4 ("tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition") partially fixed it. However, the buffer being moved is still too large and overflowing beyond the end of the current line, corrupting existing characters on the next line. Example test case: echo -e "abc\nde\x1b[A\x1b[4h \x1b[4l\x1b[B" Expected result: ab c de Current result: ab c e Needless to say that this is very annoying when inserting words in the middle of paragraphs with certain text editors.

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.

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this assumption. To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places. This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed. This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen. Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you cannot scroll back. The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many characters are printed. It might not be perfect considering you can output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs. This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS variable. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

On some machines using a specific hardware for console screen output, the update of the pixel frame buffer does not work correctly when using command line edition. This may be due to a memory cache bug in the machine on which the problem has been found, but an other solution is possible. This patch proposes to avoid touching directly the pixel frame buffer and to rebuild each character using the standard putc() function on command line edition. The resulting code is smaller and not obviously slower (no read access to the pixel frame buffer). Tested on a Cubox (ARM Marvell Dove 88AP510 SoC).

Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely ignored by the existing code.

seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data. The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this, is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer. Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history goes - 2.6.12-rc2. AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change. The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing. I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did not find any pattern on different places. I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.
