2009-07-16vt: drop bootmem/slab memory distinctionJohannes Weiner
Bootmem is not used for the vt screen buffer anymore as slab is now available at the time the console is initialized. Get rid of the now superfluous distinction between slab and bootmem, it's always slab. This also fixes a kmalloc leak which Catalin described thusly: Commit a5f4f52e ("vt: use kzalloc() instead of the bootmem allocator") replaced the alloc_bootmem() with kzalloc() but didn't set vc_kmalloced to 1 and the memory block is later leaked. The corresponding kmemleak trace: unreferenced object 0xdf828000 (size 8192): comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294937296 backtrace: [<c006d473>] __save_stack_trace+0x17/0x1c [<c000d869>] log_early+0x55/0x84 [<c01cfa4b>] kmemleak_alloc+0x33/0x3c [<c006c013>] __kmalloc+0xd7/0xe4 [<c00108c7>] con_init+0xbf/0x1b8 [<c0010149>] console_init+0x11/0x20 [<c0008797>] start_kernel+0x137/0x1e4 Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Tested-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-10-14Revert "vt: fix background color on line feed"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit c9e587abfdec2c2aaa55fab83bcb4972e2f84f9b, and the subsequent commits that fixed it up: - afa9b649 "fbcon: prevent cursor disappearance after switching to 512 character font" - d850a2fa "vt/fbcon: fix background color on line feed" - 7fe3915a "vt/fbcon: update scrl_erase_char after 256/512-glyph font switch" by request of Alan Cox. Quoth Alan: "Unfortunately it's wrong and its been causing breakages because various apps like ncurses expect our previous (and correct) behaviour." Alexander sent out a similar patch.

2008-04-29vt: fix background color on line feedJan Engelhardt
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active, such as perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' and perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"' causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely filled with the currently active background color instead of the default color. When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`). The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

2007-10-16vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspaceAntonino A. Daplas
Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize() hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug 7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size larger than 80x25. To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The latter is the more correct behavior. With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

2007-02-11[PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processingEric W. Biederman
This does several things. - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this operation. - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing. - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately. - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation. - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing. With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed. Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] vt: Make vt_pid a struct pid (making it pid wrap around safe).Eric W. Biederman
I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily dropped. Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs. Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the struct pid * pointer instead. Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong signal. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-07-10[PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.hJon Smirl
MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their dependency on tty.h.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
