The KIOCSOUND and KDMKTONE ioctls are based on the CLOCK_TICK_RATE, which is architecture and sometimes configuration specific. In practice, most user applications assume that it is actually defined as the i8253 PIT base clock of 1193182 Hz, which is true on some architectures but not on others. This patch makes the vt code use the PIT frequency on all architectures, which is much more well-defined. It will change the behavior of user applications sending the beep ioctl on all architectures that define CLOCK_TICK_RATE different from PIT_TICK_RATE. The original breakage was introduced in commit bcc8ca09 "Adapt drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c to non-x86". Hopefully, reverting this change will make the frequency correct in more cases than it will make it incorrect.

Revert "tty: Add a new VT mode which is like VT_PROCESS but doesn't require a VT_RELDISP ioctl call" This reverts commit eec9fe7d. Ari writes as the reason this should be reverted: The problems with this patch include: 1. There's at least one subtlety I overlooked - switching between X servers (i.e. from one X VT to another) still requires the cooperation of both X servers. I was assuming that KMS eliminated this. 2. It hasn't been tested at all (no X server patch exists which uses the new mode). As he was the original author of the patch, I'll revert it.

This new VT mode (VT_PROCESS_AUTO) does everything that VT_PROCESS does except that it doesn't wait for a VT_RELDISP ioctl before switching away from a VT with that mode. If the X server eventually uses this new mode, debugging and crash recovery should become easier. This is because even when currently in the VT of a frozen X server it would still be possible to switch out by doing SysRq-r and then CTRL-<number of a text vt>, sshing in and doing chvt <number of a text vt>, or any other method of VT switching. The general concensus on #xorg-devel seems to be that it should be safe to use this with X now that we have KMS. This also moves the VT_ACKACQ define to a more appropriate place, for clarity's sake.

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.

The new behaviour of CFS exposes a race which occurs if a switch is requested when vt_mode.mode is VT_PROCESS. The process with vc->vt_pid is signaled before vc->vt_newvt is set. This causes the switch to fail when triggered by the monitoing process because the target is still -1.

This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.

I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily dropped. Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs. Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the struct pid * pointer instead. Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong signal. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results reported. Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character. But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested) patch: Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).
