      console: Fix compilation regression · 9261ec1a
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      A regression of building without CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE was introduced with
      commit b45cfba4 (vt,console,kdb:
      implement atomic console enter/leave functions).
      
      ERROR: "con_debug_enter" [drivers/serial/kgdboc.ko] undefined!
      ERROR: "vc_cons" [drivers/serial/kgdboc.ko] undefined!
      ERROR: "fg_console" [drivers/serial/kgdboc.ko] undefined!
      ERROR: "con_debug_leave" [drivers/serial/kgdboc.ko] undefined!
      
      When there is no HW console the con_debug_enter and con_debug_leave
      functions should have no code.

      vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding" · 4995f8ef
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      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

      DRM: add mode setting support · f453ba04
      Dave Airlie 提交于
      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.

      xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy · 9e124fe1
      Markus Armbruster 提交于
      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 b8c2d3df
      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.

      serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time option · 8f4ce8c3
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      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.

      vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspace · e400b6ec
      Antonino A. Daplas 提交于
      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.

      serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250 · 18a8bd94
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      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]

      [PATCH] VT binding: Add binding/unbinding support for the VT console · 3e795de7
      Antonino A. Daplas 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] Make printk work for really early debugging · 76a8ad29
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      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.
      Built for i386 UP & SMP.
