<title>fbcon: Do not takeover the console from atomic context</title>

<content type='text'>
Taking over the console involves allocating mem with GFP_KERNEL, talking
to drm drivers, etc. So this should not be done from an atomic context.

But the console-output trigger deferred console takeover may happen from an
atomic context, which leads to "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid
context" errors.

This commit fixes these errors by doing the deferred takeover from a
workqueue.

<title>fbcon: Only defer console takeover if the current console driver is the dummycon</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bedb38fc917527e7a6a7e5a0ecedd44690fab167</id>
<content type='text'>
We rely on dummycon's output notifier mechanism to defer the takeover.

If say vgacon is the current console driver then dummycon will never get
used so its output notifier will also never get called and fbcon never
takes over. This commit fixes this by only deferring the console takeover
if the current console driver is the dummycon driver.

This commit also moves the entirety of fbcon_start under the console_lock,
since the conswitchp which fbcon_start now checks is protected by it.

This commit also inlines fbcon_register_output_notifier, since we now
need a #ifdef CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER in fbcon_start
anyways because of the write access to the deferred_takeover variable,
this has the added advantage that it puts the
dummycon_register_output_notifier() call directly after the "conswitchp !=
&amp;dummy_con" comparison making it clear why that check is there.

Note the arch setup code will set conswitchp to either dummy_con or
vga_con, in the cases where it gets set to vga_con even though their is
no vga_con present we rely on vga_con_startup() to set conswitchp to
dummy_con. vga_con_startup() is guaranteed to happen before
fb_console_init() as it gets called as a console_initcall where as
fb_console_init() gets called as a subsys_initcall.

<title>fbcon: introduce for_each_registered_fb() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
Following pattern is often used:

 for (i = 0; i &lt; FB_MAX; i++) {
        if (registered_fb[i]) {
                ...
        }
 }

Therefore, as Andy's suggestion, for_each_registered_fb() helper can
be introduced to make the code easier to read and write by reducing
indentation level. It also saves few lines of code in each occurrence.

This patch convert all part here at the same time.

<title>console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover</title>

<id>urn:sha1:83d83bebf40132e2d55ec58af666713cc76f9764</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>treewide: kmalloc() -&gt; kmalloc_array()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6da2ec56059c3c7a7e5f729e6349e74ace1e5c57</id>
<content type='text'>
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

This expands the no-op dummy functions into full prototypes to avoid
indirect call mismatches when running under Control Flow Integrity
checking, like with Clang's -fsanitize=cfi.

On some hardware the LCD panel is not mounted upright in the casing,
but upside-down or rotated 90 degrees. In this case we want the console
to automatically be rotated to compensate.

The fbdev-driver may know about the need to rotate. Add a new
fbcon_rotate_hint field to struct fb_info, which gets initialized to -1.
If the fbdev-driver knows that some sort of rotation is necessary then
it can set this field to a FB_ROTATE_* value to tell the fbcon console
driver to rotate the console.

<content type='text'>
During console takeover, which happens for all DRM/KMS setups using the
fbdev helpers, fbcon_startup() is called before fbcon_init() and as a
result con2fb_acquire_newinfo() will not be called (info-&gt;fbcon_par was
set to non-NULL in fbcon_startup()) to assign ops-&gt;info.

This causes the cursor_timer_handler() to unreference a NULL pointer.

Avoid this by unconditionally assigning ops-&gt;info during fbcon_startup()
so that it will be available early, but keep the additional assignment
in con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to support console remapping at runtime.
