vt: synchronize_rcu() under spinlock is not nice...

2013-04-05T17:04:19Z

commit e8cd81693bbbb15db57d3c9aa7dd90eda4842874 upstream. vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu(). Do it *after* we'd dropped ->f_lock. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-28T14:59:05Z

commit e93a9a868792ad71cdd09d75e5a02d8067473c4e upstream. I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver(). After this hack, lockdep warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-28T14:59:05Z

commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream. Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order. This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)

2013-02-28T14:59:03Z

commit 2a2483072393b27f4336ab068a1f48ca19ff1c1e upstream. When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus the new font misrenders. The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on screen at boot and is quite ugly. A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen no longer corrupts. v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we are are going to or from 512 chars.

kdb,vt_console: Fix missed data due to pager overruns

2012-10-21T16:27:59Z

commit 17b572e82032bc246324ce136696656b66d4e3f1 upstream. It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager. The kdb pager does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen or serial terminal. This result is not incrementing the shown lines correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen. Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you cannot scroll back. The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many characters are printed. It might not be perfect considering you can output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs. This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS variable. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tty: keyboard.c: Remove locking from vt_get_leds.

2012-10-07T15:32:23Z

commit 157a4b311c45c9aba75a990464d9680867dc8805 upstream. There are three call sites for this function, and all three are called within a keyboard handler. kbd_event_lock is already held within keyboard handlers, so attempting to lock it in vt_get_leds causes deadlock.

vt: Fix deadlock on scroll-lock

2012-05-01T18:01:28Z

Fixing the locking accidentally replaced a race in the scroll lock handling with a deadlock. Turn it back into a race for now. The basic problem is that there are two paths into the tty stop/start helpers. One via the tty layer ^S/^Q handling where we need to take the kbd_event_lock and one via the special keyboard handler for fn_hold where we already hold it. Probably we need to split out into a separate LED lock but for now just go back to the race as it's a bit close to release.

printk(): add KERN_CONT where needed in hpet and vt code

2012-04-09T17:30:39Z

A prototype for kmsg records instead of a byte-stream buffer revealed a couple of missing printk(KERN_CONT ...) uses. Subsequent calls produce one record per printk() call, while all should have ended up in a single record. Instead of: ACPI: (supports S0 S5) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 5 *10 11) hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2 , 8 , 0 It prints: ACPI: (supports S0 S5 ) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 5 *10 11 ) hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2 , 8 , 0 Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
