vt: Don't ignore unbind errors in vt_unbind

2014-06-06T20:19:47Z

Otherwise the loop will never stop since we don't make any forward progress. Noticed while breaking this accidentally in a painful attempt to make vga_con unregistering work. With this patch we'll bail out on the first attempt, which at least leaves a useful enough system behind for debugging. Livelocks on console_lock just aren't fun.

vt: Fix up unregistration of vt drivers

2014-06-06T20:19:32Z

A bunch of issues: - We should not kick out the default console (which is tracked in conswitchp), so check for that. - Add better error codes so callers can differentiate between "something went wrong" and "your driver isn't registered already". i915 needs that so it doesn't fall over when reloading the driver and hence vga_con is already unregistered. - There's a mess with the driver flags: What we need to check for is that the driver isn't used any more, i.e. unbound completely (FLAG_INIT). And not whether it's the boot console or not (which is the only one which doesn't have FLAG_MODULE). Otherwise there's no way to kick out the boot console, which i915 wants to do to prevent havoc with vga_con interferring (which tends to hang machines).

vt: Fix replacement console check when unbinding

2014-06-06T20:18:25Z

I don't fully understand the magic of the vt register/unregister logic, but apparently everything but the inital console (as set in the conswitchp pointer) is marked with FLAG_MODULE. Which means if something unregistered the boot vt driver (e.g. i915.ko kicking out vga_con) there's nothing left when trying to unbind e.g. fbcon through sysfs. But in most cases have the dummy console hanging around besides the boot console, so this test is fairly dubious. What we actually want is simply a different console than the one we want to unbind. v2: Correct the commit message to clarify that the dummy console isn't always around, but only in most cases (David).

console: Remove superfluous readonly check

uni_pagedir.readonly is never set. Let's get rid of superfluous check codes. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

console: Use explicit pointer type for vc_uni_pagedir* fields

2014-05-28T20:37:21Z

The vc_data.vc_uni_pagedir filed is currently long int, supposedly to be served generically. This, however, leads to lots of cast to pointer, and rather it worsens the readability significantly. Actually, we have now only a single uni_pagedir map implementation, and this won't change likely. So, it'd be much more simple and error-prone to just use the exact pointer for struct uni_pagedir instead of long. Ditto for vc_uni_pagedir_loc. It's a pointer to the uni_pagedir, thus it can be changed similarly to the exact type. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vt: emulate 8- and 24-bit colour codes.

2014-05-28T20:14:08Z

Most other mainstream terminals support "xterm256" colours, which means people sometimes use these blindly without checking capabilities. Because of hardware limitations of VGA consoles, colours are downgraded to 16 foregrounds and 8 backgrounds. On fbdev consoles it would be possible to support them without quality loss, but adding that would require quite a large amount of code.

vt: detect and ignore OSC codes.

2014-03-01T00:25:47Z

These can be used to send commands consisting of an arbitrary string to the terminal, most often used to set a terminal's window title or to redefine the colour palette. Our console doesn't use OSC, unlike everything else, which can lead to junk being displayed if a process sends such a code unconditionally. The rules for termination follow established practice rather than Ecma-48. Ecma-48 requires the string to use only byte values 0x08..0x0D and 0x20..0x7E, terminated with either ESC \ or 0x9C. This would disallow using 8-bit characters, which are reasonable for example in window titles. A widespread idiom is to terminate with 0x07. The behaviour for other control characters differs between terminal emulators, I followed libvte and xterm: * 0x07 and ESC anything terminate * nothing else terminates, all 8-bit values including 0x9C are considered a part of the string Signed-off-by: Adam Borowski Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
