The scrollback buffer of the VGA console is located in VGA RAM. This RAM
is fixed in size and is very small. To make the scrollback buffer larger,
it must be placed instead in System RAM.
This patch adds this feature. The feature and the size of the buffer are
made as a kernel config option. Besides consuming kernel memory, this
feature will slow down the console by approximately 20%.

This corrects cursor resize on ega boards: registers are write-only, so we
shouldn't even try to read them. And on ega, 31/30 produces a flat cursor.
Using 31/31 is better: except with 32 pixels high fonts, it shouldn't show
up.

EGA boards suck: they mostly have write-only registers. This is
particularly problematic for the overflow register: for being able to write
to it, we would have to handle vertical sync & such too, which (I'd say)
would potentially break a lot of configurations. Instead, just disabling
vertical resize for EGA boards is just nice enough (horizontal resize still
works).

updatescrollmode() must not select ywrap scrolling if
divides(vc->vc_font.height, yres) is not true as this is not supported by
the actual ywrap scrolling code.
The bug is triggered with e.g. mode 800x600, vxres 1024, vyres 8192, bpp
8, font dimensions 8x16, 8Mb video ram and FBINFO_HWACCEL_YWRAP set. If
those conditions are met, scrolling is broken and garbage is permanently
displayed at the bottom of the screen.
No regression, no possible side effects.

Nothing prevents a user to modprobe a framebuffer driver from e.g. the
xterm prompt. As a result, the set_par() function of the driver will be
called from fbcon_init().
This is fatal as a lot of X / framebuffer combinations are unable to
recover from set_par() reprogramming the graphics controller in
KD_GRAPHICS mode.
It is also unnecessary as the set_par() function will be called during a
switch to KD_TEXT anyway. Because of this no side effects are possible.

Whenever ywrap scrolling is selected together with 180 degree screen
rotation, 2.6.15-rc6 and earlier versions are broken. fb_pan_display()
expects non-negative yoffsets, but ud_update_start() calls it with
yoffsets down to -(yres - font height). This patch transforms yoffset
to the correct range 0 ... vyres-1.
Some obviously unneeded parentheses are removed, too.
Verified with cyblafb, should be applied before 2.6.15-final because it
does fix the framebuffer rotation code introduced early in the 2.6.15
release cycle.

Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par()
function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other
functions dependent on the hardware state are executed.
Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first
time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to
KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and
several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed
to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used
by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour.
There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on
10-dec-2005.
This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they
prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the
problems caused by the broken X releases.
The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other
drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X.
As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable
to everybody.

Reported by: Wayne E. Harlan
"[1.] One line summary of the problem:
When the kernel option "vga=1" is used, additional tty's (alt+control+Fx
with x=2,3,4,5, etc) do not provide the full 50 lines of output. The first
one does have 50 lines, however.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
These addtitional tty's show only 39 lines plus the top pixel of the 40-th
line. The remaining lines are black and not shown. Kernel version
2.6.13.4 does not show this problem."
This bug is caused by using a stale font height value on vgacon_init.
Booting with vga=1 gives an 80x50 screen with an 8x8 font. Somewhere
during the initialization, the font was changed to 8x9 and the first
vc was correctly resized to 80x44. However, the rest of the vc's were
not allocated yet, and when they were subsequently initialized, they
still used a font height of 8 (instead of 9) causing the mentioned bug.
Fix by saving the new font height to vga_video_font_height.

Add ability to set rotation via sysfs. The attributes are located in
/sys/class/graphics/fb[n] and accepts 0 - unrotated; 1 - clockwise; 2 - upside
down; 3 - counterclockwise.
The attributes are:
con_rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the active console
con_rotate_all (w) - set rotation of all consoles
rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the framebuffer, if supported.
Currently, none of the drivers support this.
This is probably temporary, since con_rotate and con_rotate_all are
console-specific and has no business being under the fb device. However,
until the console layer acquires it's own sysfs class, these attributes will
temporarily reside here.

This patch series implements generic code to rotate the console at 90, 180,
and 270 degrees. The implementation is completely done in the framebuffer
console level, thus no changes to the framebuffer layer or to the drivers
are needed.
Console rotation is required by some Sharp-based devices where the natural
orientation of the display is not at 0 degrees. Also, users that have
displays that can pivot will benefit by having a console in portrait mode
if they so desire.
The choice to implement the code in the console layer rather than in the
framebuffer layer is due to the following reasons:
- it's fast
- it does not require driver changes
- it can coexist with devices that can rotate the display at the hardware level
- it complements graphics applications that can do display rotation
The changes to core fbcon are minimal-- recognition of the console
rotation angle so it can swap directions, origins and axes (xres vs yres,
xpanstep vs ypanstep, xoffset vs yoffset, etc) and storage of the rotation
angle per display. The bulk of the code that does the actual drawing to the
screen are placed in separate files. Each angle of rotation has separate
methods (bmove, clear, putcs, cursor, update_start which is derived from
update_var, and clear_margins). To mimimize processing time, the fontdata
are pre-rotated at each console switch (only if the font or the angle has
changed).
The option can be compiled out (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION = n) if
rotation is not needed.
Choosing the rotation angle can be done in several ways:
1. boot option fbcon=rotate:n, where
n = 0 - normal
n = 1 - 90 degrees (clockwise)
n = 2 - 180 degrees (upside down)
n = 3 - 270 degrees (counterclockwise)
2. echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate
where n is the same as described above. It sets the angle of rotation
of the current console
3 echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate_all
where n is the same as described above. Globally sets the angle of
rotation.
GOTCHAS:
The option, especially at angles of 90 and 270 degrees, will exercise
the least used code of drivers. Namely, at these angles, panning is done
in the x-axis, so it can reveal bugs in the driver if xpanstep is set
incorrectly. A workaround is to set xpanstep = 0.
Secondly, at these angles, the framebuffer memory access can be
unaligned if (fontheight * bpp) % 32 ~= 0 which can reveal bugs in the drivers
imageblit, fillrect and copyarea functions. (I think cfbfillrect may have
this buglet). A workaround is to use a standard 8x16 font.
Speed:
The scrolling speed difference between 0 and 180 degrees is minimal,
somewhere areound 1-2%. At 90 or 270 degress, speed drops down to a vicinity
of 30-40%. This is understandable because the blit direction is across the
framebuffer "direction." Scrolling will be helped at these angles if xpanstep
is not equal to zero, use of 8x16 fonts, and setting xres_virtual >= xres * 2.
Note: The code is tested on little-endian only, so I don't know if it will
work in big-endian. Please let me know, it will take only less than a minute
of your time.
This patch prepares fbcon for console rotation and contains the following
changes:
- add rotate field in struct fbcon_ops to keep fbcon's current rotation
angle
- add con_rotate field in struct display to store per-display rotation angle
- create a private copy of the current var to fbcon. This will prevent
fbcon from directly manipulating info->var, especially the fields xoffset,
yoffset and vmode.
- add ability to swap pertinent axes (xres, yres; xpanstep, ypanstep; etc)
depending on the rotation angle
- change global update_var() (function that sets the screen start address)
as an fbcon method update_start. This is required because the axes, start
offset, and/or direction can be reversed depending on the rotation angle.
- add fbcon method rotate_font() which will rotate each character bitmap to
the correct angle of rotation.
- add fbcon boot option 'rotate' to select the angle of rotation at bootime.
Currently does nothing until all patches are applied.

is why I use it and selected it for conversion. I believe the font is GPL'd.

Currently the fb_find_nearest_mode() function finds a mode with screen
resolution closest to that described by the 'var' argument and with some
arbitrary refresh rate (eg. in the following sequence of refresh rates: 70 60
53 85 75, 53 is selected).
This patch fixes the function so that it looks for the closest mode as far as
both resolution and refresh rate are concerned. The function's first argument
is changed to fb_videomode so that the refresh rate can be specified by the
caller, as fb_var_screeninfo doesn't have any fields that could directly hold
this data.

If machine has more than 1 driver installed, and they all drive the same
hardware, it's possible that the driver's fb_release() method will attempt to
restore the hardware state to the initial state. This will leave the new
driver in an undefined state. To prevent this problem, initialize the new
driver by calling fb_set_par() when the old driver is released by fbcon.

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.
Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.

This patch fixes a long-standing vgacon bug: characters with the bright bit
set were left on the screen and not blacked out. All I did was that I
lookuped up some examples on the net about setting the vga palette, and
added the call missing from the linux kernel, but included in all other
ones. It works for me.
You can test this by writing something with the bright set to the
console, for example:
echo -e "\e[1;31mhello there\e[0m"
and then wait for the console to blank itself (by default, after 10 mins
of inactivity), maybe making it faster using
setterm -blank 1
so you only have to wait 1 minute.

(X86 && !X86_64) becomes X86_32
(X86 || X86_64) becomes X86

Fix bug 5441.
I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?
Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...
The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.
A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.

Reported by: walt <wa1ter@myrealbox.com>
"I routinely switch the console font during bootup to
8x8 so I can get 50 lines per screen. Until 09 Sept,
just changing to the small font automatically gave me
all 50 lines -- but now I'm only getting 25 lines even
with the small font. The bottom half of the screen
displays the text that already scrolled off the top."
This bug is due to an erroneous check in the recently added hook,
vgacon_resize(). It checks the new height against the original number of
rows of the console. Because the original number of rows depends on both
the scanline and the font height, check it instead against the
scanline/fontheight.

const-ify the font control structures and data, to make somewhat better
guarantees that these are not modified anywhere in the kernel.
Specifically for a kernel debugger to share this information from the
normal kernel code, such a guarantee seems rather desirable.
