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.

On some machines using a specific hardware for console screen output,
the update of the pixel frame buffer does not work correctly when
using command line edition. This may be due to a memory cache bug
in the machine on which the problem has been found, but an other
solution is possible.
This patch proposes to avoid touching directly the pixel frame buffer
and to rebuild each character using the standard putc() function
on command line edition.
The resulting code is smaller and not obviously slower (no read
access to the pixel frame buffer).
Tested on a Cubox (ARM Marvell Dove 88AP510 SoC).

Now that we don't have tty->termios tied to drivers->tty we can untangle
the logic here. In addition we can push the removal logic out of the

We need to initialize the console only on the first open. This is
usually what is done in the ->install hook. vt used to do this in
->open. Now we move it to ->install and use newly added helper for
install: tty_port_install. It ensures tty->port to be set properly.

set_get_cmap() ignored the result of {get,put}_user(), causing ioctl(vt,
{G,P}IO_CMAP, 0xdeadbeef) to silently fail.
Another side effect of this: calling the PIO_CMAP ioctl with an invalid
buffer would zero the default colormap and the palette for all vts (all
colors set to black).
Leave the default colormap intact and return -EFAULT when
reading/writing to the userspace buffer fails.

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

All num, magic and owner are set by alloc_tty_driver. No need to
re-set them on each allocation site.
pti driver sets something different to what it passes to

parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right

Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely
ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on
- Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users
- Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer
- Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress
- Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking
around properly
- Tweak the braille console so it still builds
There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous
they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is
private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place.
This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

Traditional \E[2J sequence erases console display but scroll-back
buffer and underlying device (frame) buffer keep data that can be
accessed by scrolling console back.
This patch introduce new \E[J parameter 3 that allows to scramble
scroll-back buffer explicitly. Session locking programs (screen,
vlock) can use it to prevent attacker to browse locked console
history.

seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data.
The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this,
is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer.
Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code
in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history
goes - 2.6.12-rc2.
AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change.
The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the
vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated
via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing.
I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep
this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did
not find any pattern on different places.
I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different
threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we
could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

With framebuffer handover and multiple GPUs, we get into a
position where the fbcon unbinds the vesafb framebuffer for GPU 1,
but we still have a radeon framebuffer bound from GPU 0, so
we don't unregister the console driver. Then when we tried to bind
the new radeon framebuffer for GPU1 we never get to the bind
call as we fail due to the console being registered already.
This changes the return value to -EBUSY when the driver is
already registered and continues to bind for -EBUSY.

Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
