parisc/sticon: Add user font support

2020-10-15T06:12:59+00:00

This is a major rework of the sticon (parisc text console) driver in order to support user font support. Usually one want to use the stifb (parisc framebuffer driver) which is based on fbcon and does support fonts and colors, but some old machines (e.g. HP 730 workstations) don't provide a supported stifb graphic card, and for those user fonts are preferred. This patch drops unused code for software cursor and scrollback, enhances the debug output and adds better documentation. The code was tested on various machines with byte-mode and word-mode graphic cards on GSC- and PCI-busses. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

vgacon: remove software scrollback support

2020-09-14T17:06:15+00:00

Yunhai Zhang recently fixed a VGA software scrollback bug in commit ebfdfeeae8c0 ("vgacon: Fix for missing check in scrollback handling"), but that then made people look more closely at some of this code, and there were more problems on the vgacon side, but also the fbcon software scrollback. We don't really have anybody who maintains this code - probably because nobody actually _uses_ it any more. Sure, people still use both VGA and the framebuffer consoles, but they are no longer the main user interfaces to the kernel, and haven't been for decades, so these kinds of extra features end up bitrotting and not really being used. So rather than try to maintain a likely unused set of code, I'll just aggressively remove it, and see if anybody even notices. Maybe there are people who haven't jumped on the whole GUI badnwagon yet, and think it's just a fad. And maybe those people use the scrollback code. If that turns out to be the case, we can resurrect this again, once we've found the sucker^Wmaintainer for it who actually uses it.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

console/dummycon: Remove bogus depends on from DUMMY_CONSOLE

2020-01-14T14:29:15+00:00

Since commit [1] consolidated console configuration in drivers/video/console, DUMMY_CONSOLE has always been enabled, since the dependency is always satisfied. There is no point in trying to allow it to be configured out, since (a) it's tiny, and (b) if VT_CONSOLE is enabled, we must have a working console driver by the time con_init(vt.c) runs, and only dummycon is guaranteed to work (vgacon may be configured in, but that doesn't mean we have a VGA device). So just remove the fake dependency.

fbcon: Only allow FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER if fbdev is builtin

2018-08-10T15:23:01+00:00

Having FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER with fbdev+fbcon being build as a module does not make much sense. Having FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER only when fbdev+fbcon are builtin was always the intention, hence the =y checks but they were checking the wrong option, fbcon is build as part of fb.ko, so we must check for FB=y.

console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover

2018-06-28T13:20:30+00:00

Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered. This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer (typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is. The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not enable fbcon. This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option, which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the "quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as soon as e.g. an error message is logged. Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver, rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after 2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only feasible option. Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: - Improvements for the spectre defense: * The spectre related code is consolidated to a single file nospec-branch.c * Automatic enable/disable for the spectre v2 defenses (expoline vs. nobp) * Syslog messages for specve v2 are added * Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES and define the attribute functions for spectre v1 and v2 - Add helper macros for assembler alternatives and use them to shorten the code in entry.S. - Add support for persistent configuration data via the SCLP Store Data interface. The H/W interface requires a page table that uses 4K pages only, the code to setup such an address space is added as well. - Enable virtio GPU emulation in QEMU. To do this the depends statements for a few common Kconfig options are modified. - Add support for format-3 channel path descriptors and add a binary sysfs interface to export the associated utility strings. - Add a sysfs attribute to control the IFCC handling in case of constant channel errors. - The vfio-ccw changes from Cornelia. - Bug fixes and cleanups. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (40 commits) s390/kvm: improve stack frame constants in entry.S s390/lpp: use assembler alternatives for the LPP instruction s390/entry.S: use assembler alternatives s390: add assembler macros for CPU alternatives s390: add sysfs attributes for spectre s390: report spectre mitigation via syslog s390: add automatic detection of the spectre defense s390: move nobp parameter functions to nospec-branch.c s390/cio: add util_string sysfs attribute s390/chsc: query utility strings via fmt3 channel path descriptor s390/cio: rename struct channel_path_desc s390/cio: fix unbind of io_subchannel_driver s390/qdio: split up CCQ handling for EQBS / SQBS s390/qdio: don't retry EQBS after CCQ 96 s390/qdio: restrict buffer merging to eligible devices s390/qdio: don't merge ERROR output buffers s390/qdio: simplify math in get_*_buffer_frontier() s390/decompressor: trim uncompressed image head during the build s390/crypto: Fix kernel crash on aes_s390 module remove. s390/defkeymap: fix global init to zero ...
