fbcon: Put font-rotation state into separate struct

2026-04-07T15:38:07+00:00

Move all temporary state of the font-rotation code into the struct rotated in struct fbcon_par. Protect it with the Kconfig symbol CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION. Avoids mixing it up with fbcon's regular state. v2: - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbcon: Fill cursor mask in helper function

2026-04-07T15:38:07+00:00

Fbcon creates a cursor shape on the fly from the user-configured settings. The logic to create a glyph with the cursor's bitmap mask is duplicated in four places. In the cases that involve console rotation, the implementation further rotates the cursor glyph for displaying. Consolidate all cursor-mask creation in a single helper. Update the callers accordingly. For console rotation, use the glyph helpers to rotate the created cursor glyph to the correct orientation. v2: - fix sparse truncated-bits warning Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

lib/fonts: Provide helpers for calculating glyph pitch and size

2026-04-07T15:38:07+00:00

Implement pitch and size calculation for a single font glyph in the new helpers font_glyph_pitch() and font_glyph_size(). Replace the instances where the calculations are open-coded. Note that in the case of fbcon console rotation, the parameters for a glyph's width and height might be reversed. This is intentional. v2: - fix typos in commit message Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbcon: Streamline setting rotated/unrotated bitops

2025-09-19T08:04:06+00:00

Support for console rotation is somewhat bolted onto the helper fbcon_set_bitops() for unrotated displays. Update fbcon_set_bitops() with a switch statement that picks the correct settings helper for the current rotation. For unrotated consoles, set the bitops for in the new helper fbcon_set_bitops_ur(). Rename the other, existing helpers to match the common naming scheme. The old helper fbcon_set_rotate() is no longer used.

fbcon: Move fbcon callbacks into struct fbcon_bitops

2025-09-19T08:04:05+00:00

Depending on rotation settings, fbcon sets different callback functions in struct fbcon_par from within fbcon_set_bitops(). Declare the callback functions in the new type struct fbcon_bitops. Then only replace the single bitops pointer in struct fbcon_par. Keeping callbacks in constant instances of struct fbcon_bitops makes it harder to exploit the callbacks. Also makes the code slightly easier to maintain. For tile-based consoles, there's a separate instance of the bitops structure.

fbcon: Set rotate_font callback with related callbacks

2025-09-19T08:04:04+00:00

The field struct fbcon_par.rotate_font points to fbcon_rotate_font() if the console is rotated. Set the callback in the same place as the other callbacks. Prepares for declaring all fbcon callbacks in a dedicated struct type. If not rotated, fbcon_set_bitops() still clears the callback to NULL.

fbcon: Rename struct fbcon_ops to struct fbcon_par

2025-09-19T08:04:02+00:00

The type struct fbcon_ops contains fbcon state and callbacks. As the callbacks will be removed from struct fbcon_ops, rename the data type to struct fbcon_par. Also rename the variables from ops to par. The _par postfix ("private access registers") is used throughout the fbdev subsystem for per-driver state. The fbcon pointer within struct fb_info is also named fbcon_par. Hence, the new naming fits existing practice. v2: - rename struct fbcon_ops to struct fbcon_par - fix build for CONFIG_FB_TILEBITTING=n (kernel test robot) - fix indention Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250909124616.143365-3-tzimmermann@suse.de

fbcon: Use correct erase colour for clearing in fbcon

2025-03-26T21:39:19+00:00

The erase colour calculation for fbcon clearing should use get_color instead of attr_col_ec, like everything else. The latter is similar but is not correct. For example it's missing the depth dependent remapping and doesn't care about blanking. The problem can be reproduced by setting up the background colour to grey (vt.color=0x70) and having an fbcon console set to 2bpp (4 shades of gray). Now the background attribute should be 1 (dark gray) on the console. If the screen is scrolled when pressing enter in a shell prompt at the bottom line then the new line is cleared using colour 7 instead of 1. That's not something fillrect likes (at 2bbp it expect 0-3) so the result is interesting. This patch switches to get_color with vc_video_erase_char to determine the erase colour from attr_col_ec. That makes the latter function redundant as no other users were left. Use correct erase colour for clearing in fbcon Signed-off-by: Zsolt Kajtar Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

tty: vt: remove CM_* constants

2024-01-28T02:08:54+00:00

There is no difference between CM_MOVE and CM_DRAW. Either of them enables the cursor. CM_ERASE then disables cursor. So get rid of all of them and use simple "bool enable". Note that this propagates down to the fbcon code. And document the hook. Signed-off-by: "Jiri Slaby (SUSE)" Cc: Helge Deller Cc: "James E.J.

fbdev/core: simplify cursor_state setting in fbcon_ops::cursor()

2024-01-28T02:08:54+00:00

There is a switch decicing if cursor should be drawn or not. The whole switch can be simplified to one line. Do this cleanup as a preparatory work for the next patch. There, all the CM_* constants are removed.
