vt: make the default color configurable

2013-08-05T07:06:46Z

The virtual console has (undocumented) module parameters to set the colors for italic and underlined text, but the default text color was hardcoded for some reason. This made it impossible to change the color for startup messages, or to set the default for new virtual consoles. Add a module parameter for that, and document the entire bunch. Any hacker who thinks that a command prompt on a "black screen with white font" is not supicious enough can now use the kernel parameter vt.color=10 to get a nice, evil green.

tty: Remove dead code

2013-07-26T23:19:48Z

-> The ledptrs[] array is never initialized. -> There is no place where kbd->ledmode is set to LED_SHOW_MEM therefore the if statement does not make much sense. -> Since LED_SHOW_MEM is not used, it can be removed from the header file as well.

tty: Fix unsafe vt paste_selection()

2013-07-23T23:47:10Z

Convert the tty_buffer_flush() exclusion mechanism to a public interface - tty_buffer_lock/unlock_exclusive() - and use the interface to safely write the paste selection to the line discipline. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Convert termios_mutex to termios_rwsem

2013-07-23T23:43:01Z

termios is commonly accessed unsafely (especially by N_TTY) because the existing mutex forces exclusive access. Convert existing usage. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: Make ldisc input flow control concurrency-friendly

2013-07-23T23:42:59Z

Although line discipline receiving is single-producer/single-consumer, using tty->receive_room to manage flow control creates unnecessary critical regions requiring additional lock use. Instead, introduce the optional .receive_buf2() ldisc method which returns the # of bytes actually received. Serialization is guaranteed by the caller. In turn, the line discipline should schedule the buffer work item whenever space becomes available; ie., when there is room to receive data and receive_room() previously returned 0 (the buffer work item stops processing if receive_buf2() returns 0). Note the 'no room' state need not be atomic despite concurrent use by two threads because only the buffer work thread can set the state and only the read() thread can clear the state. Add n_tty_receive_buf2() as the receive_buf2() method for N_TTY. Provide a public helper function, tty_ldisc_receive_buf(), to use when directly accessing the receive_buf() methods. Line disciplines not using input flow control can continue to set tty->receive_room to a fixed value and only provide the receive_buf() method.

tty/vt: Return EBUSY if deallocating VT1 and it is busy

2013-06-17T19:37:29Z

Commit 421b40a6286e ("tty/vt: Fix vc_deallocate() lock order") changed the behavior when deallocating VT 1. Previously if trying to deallocate VT1 and it is busy, we would return EBUSY. The commit changed this to return 0 (success). This commit restores the old behavior.
