2026-04-07lib/fonts: Implement font rotationThomas Zimmermann1-0/+3
Move the core of fbcon's font-rotation code to the font library as the new helper font_data_rotate(). The code can rotate in steps of 90°. For completeness, it also copies the glyph data for multiples of 360°. Bring back the memset optimization. A memset to 0 again clears the whole glyph output buffer. Then use the internal rotation helpers on the cleared output. Fbcon's original implementation worked like this, but lost it during refactoring. Replace fbcon's font-rotation code with the new implementations. All that's left to do for fbcon is to maintain its internal fbcon state. v2: - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-04-07lib/fonts: Implement glyph rotationThomas Zimmermann1-0/+8
Move the glyph rotation helpers from fbcon to the font library. Wrap them behind clean interfaces. Also clear the output memory to zero. Previously, the implementation relied on the caller to do that. Go through the fbcon code and callers of the glyph-rotation helpers. In addition to the font rotation, there's also the cursor code, which uses the rotation helpers. The font-rotation relied on a single memset to zero for the whole font. This is now multiple memsets on each glyph. This will be sorted out when the font library also implements font rotation. Building glyph rotation in the font library still depends on CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION=y. If we get more users of the code, we can still add a dedicated Kconfig symbol to the font library. No changes have been made to the actual implementation of the rotate_*() and pattern_*() functions. These will be refactored as separate changes. v2: - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-04-07lib/fonts: Provide helpers for calculating glyph pitch and sizeThomas Zimmermann1-0/+40
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 <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-03-09lib/fonts: Remove internal symbols and macros from public header fileThomas Zimmermann1-40/+17
Define access macros for font_data_t in fonts.c. Define struct font_data and declare most of the font symbols in the internal header font.h, where they can only be seen by the font code. Also move font indices into internal font.h. They appear to be unused though. There is m86k assembly code that operates on the idx field, so leave them in place for now. List all built-in fonts in a separate section in the public header file. v2: - do not add config guards around font symbols (Helge) - keep declaration of built-in fonts in public header Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-03-09lib/fonts: Store font data for user space with font_data_export()Thomas Zimmermann1-0/+1
Add font_data_export() and update consoles to use it. The helper font_data_export() is based on code in fbcon_get_font(). It extends the size of a single glyph to match the requested vpitch, which us usually 32 bytes for fonts from user space. Internal fonts have a pitch according to the glyph's height. The implementation of font_data_export() differs in several ways from the original code. The original implementation distinguished between different pitches of the font data. This is not necessary as the pitch is a parameter in the copying. There was also special handling for a font pitch of 3 bytes, which got expanded to 4 bytes (with trailing bits on each scanline). The logic originated from long before git history exists even in the historical tree. So it is not clear why this was implemented. It is not what user space expects. The setfont utitlity loads font with 3-bytes pitches and expects to read such fonts with a 3-byte pitch. For any font width, the font pitch is always the width extended to the next multiple of 8. See [1] for the user-space font-reading code. With the changes to handling the font pitches, font_data_export() replaces the original code's various special cases with a single copying logic. v3: - fix typos (Helge) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Link: https://github.com/legionus/kbd/blob/v2.9.0/src/libkfont/kdfontop.c#L73 # [1] Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-03-09lib/fonts: Create font_data_t from struct console_font with font_data_import()Thomas Zimmermann1-1/+5
Add font_data_import() and update consoles to use it. The implementation of font_data_import() is based on code from fbcon, which supports overflow checks and crc32 checksums. Fbcon uses the crc32 checksum. Newport_con now implements the same overflow checks as fbcon. As before, this console does not support checksums, which are optional. Newport_con can now also handle input font data with a vertical pitch other than 32 bytes. (The vertical pitch is the offset between two glyphs in the font data.) As an internal change, remove the const qualifier from the data field if struct font_data. This allows font_data_import() to write the data without type casting. For all users of the font data via font_data_t, the stored data is still read only. v3: - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-03-09lib/fonts: Compare font data for equality with font_data_is_equal()Thomas Zimmermann1-0/+1
Add font_data_is_equal() and update consoles to use it. Font data is equal if it has the same size and contains the same values on all bytes. Only fbcon uses a crc32 checksum. If set in both operands the checksums have to be equal. The new helper also guarantees to not compare internal fonts against fonts from user space. Internal fonts cannot be ref-counted, so making them equal to user-space fonts with the same byte sequence results in undefined behavior. The test only compares data buffers. Their interpretation is up each console. Therefore remove a width test in fbcon_set_font(). v3: - rebase onto font_data_{get,put}() Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
2026-03-09lib/fonts: Manage font-data lifetime with font_data_get/_put()Thomas Zimmermann1-0/+2
Add font_data_get() and font_data_put(). Update consoles to use them over REFCOUNT() and plain kfree(). Newly allocated font data starts with a reference count of 1. Loading the font puts the previously loaded font. If the reference count reaches zero, font_data_put() frees the font data. The kernel stores a refcount of zero for internal font data. Invoking font_data_get() and font_data_put() tests this internally and returns success without further operation. From the caller's perspective, getting and putting works the same for all font data. Fbcon used the userfont flag distinguish between internal fonts and fonts loaded by user space. Only the latter where refcounted. With the new helper's automatic handling of internal font data, remove the userfont flag from fbcon. Newport_con uses a default font, FONT_DATA, until user space loads custom font data. Remove all special cases for FONT_DATA, as the get and put calls' read-only handling also covers this case. v3: - fix module linker error wrt font symbols (Nathan, Arnd) - fix typos Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

2026-03-09lib/fonts: Store font data as font_data_t; update consolesThomas Zimmermann1-1/+46
Store font data as pointer to font_data_t instead of unsigned char. Update consoles. Pointers to font data refer to the raw data. There is a hidden header before the data that contains additional state. Document the existing layout and semantics of font_data_t. The data field in struct vc_font can be used by any console. Therefore it still points to plain data without the additional header. Fbcon sets its value from struct fbcon_display.fontdata. Hence, update the size test in fbcon_resize() to use struct fbcon_display.fontdata instead of struct vc_font.data. v3: - fix typos (Helge) v2: - 'Font lookup' -> 'Font description' in <linux/font.h> Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

2025-12-02lib/fonts: Add Terminus 10x18 console fontNeilay Kharwadkar1-1/+3
Add a compile-in option for Terminus 10x18 bitmap console font to improve readability on modern laptop displays. On modern 13-16 inch laptop displays with high pixel density, common scaled resolutions like 1280x800 and 1440x900 are widely used. At these resolutions, VGA 8x16 is too small and difficult to read for extended periods, while Terminus 16x32 is too large, providing only 25-28 rows. The existing 10x18 font has poor readability. Terminus 10x18 provides improved readability with its clean, fixed-width design while maintaining practical row counts (44-50 rows). A comfortable and readable built-in font for early boot messages, kernel panics or whenever userspace is unavailable. The font was converted from standard Terminus ter-i18b.psf using psftools and formatted to match kernel font conventions. This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most users won't notice a thing.

2020-09-25Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in fontsPeilin Ye1-0/+5
syzbot has reported an issue in the framebuffer layer, where a malicious user may overflow our built-in font data buffers. In order to perform a reliable range check, subsystems need to know `FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font. Unfortunately, our font descriptor, `struct console_font` does not contain `FONTDATAMAX`, and is part of the UAPI, making it infeasible to modify it. For user-provided fonts, the framebuffer layer resolves this issue by reserving four extra words at the beginning of data buffers. Later, whenever a function needs to access them, it simply uses the following macros: Recently we have gathered all the above macros to <linux/font.h>. Let us do the same thing for built-in fonts, prepend four extra words (including `FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that subsystems can use these macros for all fonts, no matter built-in or user-provided. This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros into linux/font.h".
