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.

With framebuffer handover and multiple GPUs, we get into a position where the fbcon unbinds the vesafb framebuffer for GPU 1, but we still have a radeon framebuffer bound from GPU 0, so we don't unregister the console driver. Then when we tried to bind the new radeon framebuffer for GPU1 we never get to the bind call as we fail due to the console being registered already. This changes the return value to -EBUSY when the driver is already registered and continues to bind for -EBUSY.

After 02f0777a "vc_origin" is no longer reset to the screen buffer before calling the con_init() hook of the new console driver. If the old driver wasn't using a fixed scanout buffer (e.g. the case of vgacon) "vc_origin" may be a pointer to a VRAM location, and its contents aren't guaranteed to be preserved after calling con_deinit() on the old driver and con_init() on the new driver, i.e. the subsequent console resize may fill the framebuffer with garbage. It can be reproduced in the transition from vgacon to the nouveau framebuffer driver: in that case the legacy VGA aperture "vc_origin" points to becomes unreadable after fbcon_init(). This patch reverts the mentioned commit. To avoid the problem it intended to fix, stop using "vc_scr_end" in vc_do_resize() to calculate how many rows we have to copy (actually the code looks simpler this way without the help of "vc_scr_end").

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.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
This reverts commit 962400e8, which was entirely bogus. The code used to multiply the character offset by "vc->vc_cols", and that's actually correct, because 'd' itself is an 'unsigned short'. So the pointer arithmetic already takes the size of a VGA character into account. Changing it to use vc_size_row (which is just "vc_cols" shifted up to take the size of the character into account) ends up multiplying with the VGA character size twice. This got reported as bugs for various other subsystems, because what it actually results in is writing the 16-bit vc_video_erase_char pattern (usually 0x0720: 0x07 is the default attribute, 0x20 is ASCII space) into some random other allocation. So Markus ended up reporting this as a ext4 bug, while to Torsten Kaiser it looked like a problem with KMS or libata. Jeff Chua saw it in different places. And finally - Justin Mattock had slab poisoning enabled, and saw it as a slab poison overwritten. And bisected and reverted this to verify the buggy commit.

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to redirect the kernel messages to a specific console. However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic message on the current console. This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect variable by a function to be able to use it in code where CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c). This patch: Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where messages are printed. Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c) to the new interface. The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us.

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.
