From 27a4c827c34ac4256a190cc9d24607f953c1c459 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scot Doyle Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:56:38 +0000 Subject: fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt vt now provides a cursor blink interval via vc_data. Use this interval instead of the currently hardcoded 200 msecs. Store it in fbcon_ops to avoid locking the console in cursor_timer_handler().

Unfortunately that wreaks havoc under some circumstances. An easily reproducible way is to use both the framebuffer console and a debug serial port as the console output for kernel messages (e.g. "console=ttyS0 console=tty1" on the kernel command-line. Upon boot this triggers a warning from within the del_timer_sync() function because it is called from IRQ context: [ 5.070096] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 5.070110] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at ../kernel/time/timer.c:1098 del_timer_sync+0x4c/0x54() [ 5.070115] Modules linked in: [ 5.070120] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.1.0-rc4-next-20150519 #1 [ 5.070123] Hardware name: SAMSUNG EXYNOS (Flattened Device Tree) [ 5.070142] [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [ 5.070156] [] (show_stack) from [] (dump_stack+0x70/0xbc) [ 5.070164] [] (dump_stack) from [] (warn_slowpath_common+0x74/0xb0) [ 5.070169] [] (warn_slowpath_common) from [] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) [ 5.070174] [] (warn_slowpath_null) from [] (del_timer_sync+0x4c/0x54) [ 5.070183] [] (del_timer_sync) from [] (fbcon_del_cursor_timer+0x2c/0x40) [ 5.070190] [] (fbcon_del_cursor_timer) from [] (fbcon_cursor+0x9c/0x180) [ 5.070198] [] (fbcon_cursor) from [] (hide_cursor+0x30/0x98) [ 5.070204] [] (hide_cursor) from [] (vt_console_print+0x2a8/0x340) [ 5.070212] [] (vt_console_print) from [] (call_console_drivers.constprop.23+0xc8/0xec) [ 5.070218] [] (call_console_drivers.constprop.23) from [] (console_unlock+0x498/0x4f0) [ 5.070223] [] (console_unlock) from [] (vprintk_emit+0x1f0/0x508) [ 5.070228] [] (vprintk_emit) from [] (vprintk_default+0x24/0x2c) [ 5.070234] [] (vprintk_default) from [] (printk+0x70/0x88) After which the system starts spewing all kinds of weird and seemingly unrelated error messages.
