VT: Add KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations

2023-01-19T15:28:57+00:00

The KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET operations hardcode vpitch to be 32 pixels, which only dates from the old VGA hardware which as asserting this. Drivers such as fbcon however do not have such limitation, so this introduces KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations, which userland can try to use to avoid this limitation, thus opening the patch to >32 pixels font height.

console: Delete unused con_font_copy() callback implementations

2020-11-16T15:27:03+00:00

Recently in commit 3c4e0dff2095 ("vt: Disable KD_FONT_OP_COPY") we disabled the KD_FONT_OP_COPY ioctl() option. Delete all the con_font_copy() callbacks, since we no longer use them. Mark KD_FONT_OP_COPY as "obsolete" in include/uapi/linux/kd.h, just like what we have done for PPPIOCDETACH in commit af8d3c7c001a ("ppp: remove the PPPIOCDETACH ioctl").

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.
