vt: make vc_data pointers const in selection.h

2020-08-18T11:45:20+00:00

There are many functions declared in selection.h which only read from
struct vc_data passed as a parameter. Make all those uses const to hint
the compiler a bit.

vt: get rid of VT10.ID macros

2020-06-24T15:08:31+00:00

VT100ID is unused, but defined twice. Kill it.

VT102ID is used only in respond_ID. Define there a variable with proper
type and use that instead. Then drop both defines of VT102ID too.

vc: switch state to bool

2020-06-24T15:08:31+00:00

The code currently uses bitfields to store true-false values. Switch all
of that to bools. Apart from the cleanup, it saves 20B of code as many
shifts, ANDs, and ORs became simple movzb's.

vt: introduce enum vc_intensity for intensity

2020-06-24T15:08:31+00:00

Introduce names (en enum) for 0, 1, and 2 constants. We now have
VCI_HALF_BRIGHT, VCI_NORMAL, and VCI_BOLD instead.

Apart from the cleanup,
1) the enum allows for better type checking, and
2) this saves some code. No more fiddling with bits is needed in
   assembly now. (OTOH, the structure is larger.)

We need the console patches in here as well for futher work from Andy.

  console: Introduce ->exit() callback
  console: Don't notify user space when unregister non-listed console
  console: Avoid positive return code from unregister_console()
  console: Drop misleading comment
  console: Use for_each_console() helper in unregister_console()
  console: Drop double check for console_drivers being non-NULL

printk: Correctly set CON_CONSDEV even when preferred console was not registered

2020-02-18T08:35:24+00:00

CON_CONSDEV flag was historically used to put/keep the preferred console
first in console_drivers list. Where the preferred console is the last
on the command line.

The ordering is important only when opening /dev/console:

  + tty_kopen()
    + tty_lookup_driver()
      + console_device()

The flag was originally an implementation detail. But it was later
made accessible from userspace via /proc/consoles. It was used,
for example, by the tool "showconsole" to show the real tty
accessible via /dev/console, see
https://github.com/bitstreamout/showconsole

Now, the current code sets CON_CONSDEV only for the preferred
console or when a fallback console is added. The flag is not
set when the preferred console is defined on the command line
but it is not registered from some reasons.

Simple solution is to set CON_CONSDEV flag for the first
registered console. It will work most of the time because:

  + Most real consoles have console->device defined.

  + Boot consoles are removed in printk_late_init().

  + unregister_console() moves CON_CONSDEV flag to the next
    console.

Clean solution would require checking con->device when the
preferred console is registered and in unregister_console().

Conclusion:

Use the simple solution for now. It is better than the current
state and good enough.

The clean solution is not worth it. It would complicate the already
complicated code without too much gain. Instead the code would deserve
a complete rewrite.

console: Introduce ->exit() callback

2020-02-11T09:44:22+00:00

Some consoles might require special operations on unregistering.
For instance, serial console, when registered in the kernel,
keeps power on for entire time, until it gets unregistered.
Example of use:

	->setup(console):
		pm_runtime_get(...);

	->exit(console):
		pm_runtime_put(...);

For such cases to have a balance we would provide ->exit() callback.

panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer

2019-05-18T22:52:26+00:00

Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending
printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic().

Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to replay all
dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due to the
loglevel setting, which will help panic debugging .
