[PATCH] VT binding: Add sysfs control to the VT layer
with the justification
"In addition, if any of the consoles are in KD_GRAPHICS mode, binding and
unbinding will not succeed. KD_GRAPHICS mode usually indicates that the
underlying console hardware is used for other purposes other than displaying
text (ie X). This feature should prevent binding/unbinding from interfering
with a graphics application using the VT."
I think we should lift this artificial restriction though:
- KD_GRAPHICS doesn't get cleaned up automatically, which means it's
easy to have terminals stuck in KD_GRAPHICS when hacking around on
X.
- X doesn't really care, especially with drm where kms already blocks
fbdev (and hence fbcon) when there's an active compositor.
- This is a root-only interface with a separate .config option and
it's possible to hang your machine already anyway if you
unload/reload drivers and don't know what you're doing.
With this patch i915.ko module reloading works again reliably,
something in the recent fedora upgrades broke things.

Currently there is a lock order problem between the console lock and the
kernfs s_active lock of the console driver's bind sysfs entry. When
writing to the sysfs entry the lock order is first s_active then console
lock, when unregistering the console driver via
do_unregister_con_driver() the order is the opposite. See the below
bugzilla reference for one instance of a lockdep backtrace.
Fix this by unregistering the console driver from a deferred work, where
we can safely drop the console lock while unregistering the device and
corresponding sysfs entries (which in turn acquire s_active). Note that
we have to keep the console driver slot in the registered_con_driver
array reserved for the driver that's being unregistered until it's fully
removed. Otherwise a concurrent call to do_register_con_driver could
try to reuse the same slot and fail when registering the corresponding
device with a minor index that's still in use.
Note that the referenced bug report contains two dmesg logs with two
distinct lockdep reports: [1] is about a locking scenario involving
s_active, console_lock and the fb_notifier list lock, while [2] is
about a locking scenario involving only s_active and console_lock.
In [1] locking fb_notifier triggers the lockdep warning only because
of its dependence on console_lock, otherwise case [1] is the same
s_active<->console_lock dependency problem fixed by this patch.
Before this change we have the following locking scenarios involving
the 3 locks:
a) via do_unregister_framebuffer()->...->do_unregister_con_driver():
1. console lock 2. fb_notifier lock 3. s_active lock
b) for example via give_up_console()->do_unregister_con_driver():
1. console lock 2. s_active lock
c) via vt_bind()/vt_unbind():
1. s_active lock 2. console lock
Since c) is the console bind sysfs entry's write code path we can't
change the locking order there. We can only fix this issue by removing
s_active's dependence on the other two locks in a) and b). We can do
this only in the vt code which owns the corresponding sysfs entry, so
that after the change we have:
a) 1. console lock 2. fb_notifier lock
b) 1. console lock
c) 1. s_active lock 2. console lock
d) in the new con_driver_unregister_callback():
1. s_active lock

v2:
- get console_lock earlier in con_driver_unregister_callback(), so we
protect the following console driver field assignments there
- add code coment explaining the reason for deferring the sysfs entry
removal
- add a third paragraph to the commit message explaining why there are
two distinct lockdep reports and that this issue is independent of
fb/fbcon. (Peter Hurley)
v3:
- clarify further the third paragraph
v4:
- rebased on v4 of patch 1/3

Add an escape sequence to specify the current console's cursor blink
interval. The interval is specified as a number of milliseconds until
the next cursor display state toggle, from 50 to 65535. /proc/loadavg
did not show a difference with a one msec interval, but the lower
bound is set to 50 msecs since slower hardware wasn't tested.
Store the interval in the vc_data structure for later access by fbcon,
initializing the value to fbcon's current hardcoded value of 200 msecs.

The default console driver (conswitchp) and busy drivers bound to a
console (as reported by con_is_bound()) shouldn't be unregistered.
System console drivers (without the CON_DRIVER_FLAG_MODULE flag) can be
unregistered, provided they are neither default nor busy. The current
code checks for the CON_DRIVER_FLAG_INIT flag but this doesn't make
sense: this flag is set for a driver whenever its associated console's
con_startup() function is called, which first happens when the console
driver is registered (so before the console gets bound) and gets cleared
when the console gets unbound. The purpose of this flag is to show if we
need to call con_startup() on a console before we use it.
Based on the above, do_unregister_con_driver() in its current form will
allow unregistering a console driver only if it was never bound, but
will refuse to unregister one that was bound and later unbound.
Fix this by dropping the CON_DRIVER_FLAG_INIT check, allowing
unregistering of any console driver provided that it's not the default
one and it's not busy.
v2:
- reword the third paragraph to clarify how the fix works (Peter Hurley)
v3:
- unchanged
v4:
- Allow unregistering a system console driver too, needed by i915 to
unregister vgacon. Update commit description accordingly. (Daniel)

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).

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).

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.

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.

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

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

Now that the tty port owns the flip buffers and i/o is allowed
from the driver even when no tty is attached, the destruction
of the tty port (and the flip buffers) must ensure that no
outstanding work is pending.
Unfortunately, this creates a lock order problem with the
console_lock (see attached lockdep report [1] below).
For single console deallocation, drop the console_lock prior
to port destruction. When multiple console deallocation,
defer port destruction until the consoles have been
deallocated.
tty_port_destroy() is not required if the port has not
been used; remove from vc_allocate() failure path.

Commit 81732c3b2f ("tty vt: Fix line garbage in virtual console on
command line edition") broke insert_char() in multiple ways. Then
commit b1a925f44a ("tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition")
partially fixed it. However, the buffer being moved is still too large
and overflowing beyond the end of the current line, corrupting existing
characters on the next line.
Example test case:
echo -e "abc\nde\x1b[A\x1b[4h \x1b[4l\x1b[B"
Expected result:
ab c
de
Current result:
ab c
e
Needless to say that this is very annoying when inserting words in the
middle of paragraphs with certain text editors.

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.

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.

Fixed up some trivial conflicts in the staging tree, due to the fwserial
driver having come in both ways (but fixed up a bit in the serial tree),
and the ioctl handling in the dgrp driver having been done slightly
differently (staging tree got that one right, and removed both
TIOCGSOFTCAR and TIOCSSOFTCAR).

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.
To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

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.
