This patch breaks set_selection() into two functions so that when
called from kernel, copy_from_user() can be avoided. The two functions
are called set_selection_user() and set_selection_kernel() in order to
be explicit about their purposes. This also means updating any
references to set_selection() and fixing for name change. It also
exports set_selection_kernel() and paste_selection().
These changes are used the following patch where speakup's selection
functionality calls into the above functions, thereby doing away with
parallel implementation.

The patch a6dbe44275 ("vt: perform safe console erase in the right
order") introduced a bug. The conditional do_update_region() was
replaced by a call to update_region() that does contain the conditional
already, but with unwanted extra side effects such as restoring the cursor
drawing.
In order to reproduce the bug:
- use framebuffer console with the AMDGPU driver
- type "links" to start the console www browser
- press 'q' and space to exit links
Now the cursor will be permanently visible in the center of the
screen. It will stay there until something overwrites it.
The bug goes away if we change update_region() back to the conditional
do_update_region().

Previously, in the userspace, it was possible to use the "setterm" command
from util-linux to blank the VT console by default, using the following
command.
According to the man page,
> The force option keeps the screen blank even if a key is pressed.
It was implemented by calling TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN.
case BLANKSCREEN:
ioctlarg = TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN;
if (ioctl(STDIN_FILENO, TIOCLINUX, &ioctlarg))
warn(_("cannot force blank"));
break;
However, after Linux 4.12, this command ceased to work anymore, which is
unexpected. By inspecting the kernel source, it shows that the issue was
triggered by the side-effect from commit a4199f5eb8 ("tty: Disable
default console blanking interval").
The console blanking is implemented by function do_blank_screen() in vt.c:
"blank_state" will be initialized to "blank_normal_wait" in con_init() if
AND ONLY IF ("blankinterval" > 0). If "blankinterval" is 0, "blank_state"
will be "blank_off" (== 0), and a call to do_blank_screen() will always
abort, even if a forced blanking is required from the user by calling
TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN, the console won't be blanked.
This behavior is unexpected from a user's point-of-view, since it's not
mentioned in any documentation. The setterm man page suggests it will
always work, and the kernel comments in uapi/linux/tiocl.h says
> /* keep screen blank even if a key is pressed */
> #define TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN 14
To fix it, we simply remove the "blank_state != blank_off" check, as
pointed out by Nicolas Pitre, this check doesn't logically make sense
and it's safe to remove.

Commit 4b4ecd9cb8 ("vt: Perform safe console erase only once") removed
what appeared to be an extra call to scr_memsetw(). This missed the fact
that set_origin() must be called before clearing the screen otherwise
old screen content gets restored on the screen when using vgacon. Let's
fix that by moving all the scrollback handling to flush_scrollback()
where it logically belongs, and invoking it before the actual screen
clearing in csi_J(), making the code simpler in the end.

When kernel messages are printed to the console, they appear blank on
the unicode screen. This is because vt_console_print() is lacking a call
to vc_uniscr_putc(). However the later function assumes vc->vc_x is
always up to date when called, which is not the case here as
vt_console_print() uses it to mark the beginning of the display update.
This patch reworks (and simplifies) vt_console_print() so that vc->vc_x
is always valid and keeps the start of display update in a local variable
instead, which finally allows for adding the missing vc_uniscr_putc()
call.

There is currently no provision for scrollback content in the core code,
leaving that to backend video drivers where this can be highly optimized.
There is currently no common method for those drivers to tell the core
what part of the scrollback is actually displayed and what size the
scrollback buffer is either. Because of that, the unicode screen buffer
has no provision for any scrollback.
At least we can provide backtranslated glyph values when the scrollback
is active which should be plenty good enough for now.

Now that the core vt code knows how to preserve unicode values for each
displayed character, it is then possible to let user space access it via
/dev/vcs*.
Unicode characters are presented as 32 bit values in native endianity
via the /dev/vcsu* devices, mimicking the simple /dev/vcs* devices.
Unicode with attributes (similarly to /dev/vcsa*) is not supported at
the moment.
Data is available only as long as the console is in UTF-8 mode. ENODATA
is returned otherwise.
This was tested with the latest development version (to become
version 5.7) of BRLTTY. Amongst other things, this allows ⠋⠕⠗ ⠞⠓⠊⠎
⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑⠀⠞⠑⠭⠞⠀to appear directly on braille displays regardless of the
console font being used.

The vt code translates UTF-8 strings into glyph index values and stores
those glyph values directly in the screen buffer. Because there can only
be at most 512 glyphs, it is impossible to represent most unicode
characters, in which case a default glyph (often '?') is displayed
instead. The original unicode value is then lost.
This patch implements the basic screen buffer handling to preserve unicode
values alongside corresponding display glyphs. It is not activated by
default, meaning that people not relying on that functionality won't get
the implied overhead.

ECMA-48 [1] (aka ISO 6429) has defined SGR 21 as "doubly underlined"
since at least March 1984. The Linux kernel has treated it as SGR 22
"normal intensity" since it was added in Linux-0.96b in June 1992.
Before that, it was simply ignored. Other terminal emulators have
either ignored it, or treat it as double underline now. xterm for
example added support in its 304 release (May 2014) [2] where it was
previously ignoring it.
Changing this behavior shouldn't be an issue:
- It isn't a named capability in ncurses's terminfo database, so no
script is using libtinfo/libcurses to look this up, or using tput
to query & output the right sequence.
- Any script assuming SGR 21 will reset intensity in all terminals
already do not work correctly on non-Linux VTs (including running
under screen/tmux/etc...).
- If someone has written a script that only runs in the Linux VT, and
they're using SGR 21 (instead of SGR 22), the output should still
be readable.
imo it's important to change this as the Linux VT's non-conformance
is sometimes used as an argument for other terminal emulators to not
implement SGR 21 at all, or do so incorrectly.

In con_font_set(), when we need to guess font height (for
compat reasons?), the current approach uses multiple userspace
fetches, i.e., get_user(tmp, &charmap[32*i+h-1]), to derive
the height. This has two drawbacks:
1. performance: accessing userspace memory is less efficient than
directly de-reference the byte
2. security: a more critical problem is that the height derived
might not match with the actual font.data. This is because a user
thread might race condition to change the memory of op->data after
the op->height guessing but before the second fetch: font.data =
memdup_user(op->data, size). Leaving font.height = 32 while the
actual height is 1 or vice-versa.
This patch tries to resolve both issues by re-locating the height
guessing part after the font.data is fetched in. In this way, the
userspace data is fetched in one shot and we directly dereference
the font.data in kernel space to probe for the height.

Next, the 'dir' parameter can have only two values and we define

Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches.
The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and
the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and
dubious. And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had
a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a
message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT
handling in the recording code was rather confusing too).
This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes
the few places I noticed where it was missing. There are probably more
missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning
for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log
level necessary, this is a continuation line").
This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level. In that
case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line
is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now
get the right log level.
That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with
the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing
would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end
up in the middle of a continuing line).
* printk-cleanups:
printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines
printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible
printk: split out core logging code into helper function
printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines
Long long ago the kernel log buffer was a buffered stream of bytes, very
much like stdio in user space. It supported log levels by scanning the
stream and noticing the log level markers at the beginning of each line,
but if you wanted to print a partial line in multiple chunks, you just
did multiple printk() calls, and it just automatically worked.
Except when it didn't, and you had very confusing output when different
lines got all mixed up with each other. Then you got fragment lines
mixing with each other, or with non-fragment lines, because it was
traditionally impossible to tell whether a printk() call was a
continuation or not.
To at least help clarify the issue of continuation lines, we added a
KERN_CONT marker back in 2007 to mark continuation lines:
4749252776 ("printk: add KERN_CONT annotation").
That continuation marker was initially an empty string, and didn't
actuall make any semantic difference. But it at least made it possible
to annotate the source code, and have check-patch notice that a printk()
didn't need or want a log level marker, because it was a continuation of
a previous line.
To avoid the ambiguity between a continuation line that had that
KERN_CONT marker, and a printk with no level information at all, we then
in 2009 made KERN_CONT be a real log level marker which meant that we
could now reliably tell the difference between the two cases.
5fd29d6ccb ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines")
and we could take advantage of that to make sure we didn't mix up
continuation lines with lines that just didn't have any loglevel at all.
Then, in 2012, the kernel log buffer was changed to be a "record" based
log, where each line was a record that has a loglevel and a timestamp.
You can see the beginning of that conversion in commits
e11fea92e1 ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface")
7ff9554bb5 ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer")
with a number of follow-up commits to fix some painful fallout from that
conversion. Over all, it took a couple of months to sort out most of
it. But the upside was that you could have concurrent readers (and
writers) of the kernel log and not have lines with mixed output in them.
And one particular pain-point for the record-based kernel logging was
exactly the fragmentary lines that are generated in smaller chunks. In
order to still log them as one recrod, the continuation lines need to be
attached to the previous record properly.
However the explicit continuation record marker that is actually useful
for this exact case was actually removed in aroundm the same time by commit
61e99ab8e3 ("printk: remove the now unnecessary "C" annotation for KERN_CONT")
due to the incorrect belief that KERN_CONT wasn't meaningful. The
ambiguity between "is this a continuation line" or "is this a plain
printk with no log level information" was reintroduced, and in fact
became an even bigger pain point because there was now the whole
record-level merging of kernel messages going on.
This patch reinstates the KERN_CONT as a real non-empty string marker,
so that the ambiguity is fixed once again.
But it's not a plain revert of that original removal: in the four years
since we made KERN_CONT an empty string again, not only has the format
of the log level markers changed, we've also had some usage changes in
this area.
For example, some ACPI code seems to use KERN_CONT _together_ with a log
level, and now uses both the KERN_CONT marker and (for example) a
KERN_INFO marker to show that it's an informational continuation of a
line.
Which is actually not a bad idea - if the continuation line cannot be
attached to its predecessor, without the log level information we don't
know what log level to assign to it (and we traditionally just assigned
it the default loglevel). So having both a log level and the KERN_CONT
marker is not necessarily a bad idea, but it does mean that we need to
actually iterate over potentially multiple markers, rather than just a
single one.
Also, since KERN_CONT was still conceptually needed, and encouraged, but
didn't actually _do_ anything, we've also had the reverse problem:
rather than having too many annotations it has too few, and there is bit
rot with code that no longer marks the continuation lines with the
KERN_CONT marker.
So this patch not only re-instates the non-empty KERN_CONT marker, it
also fixes up the cases of bit-rot I noticed in my own logs.
There are probably other cases where KERN_CONT will be needed to be
added, either because it is new code that never dealt with the need for
KERN_CONT, or old code that has bitrotted without anybody noticing.
That said, we should strive to avoid the need for KERN_CONT. It does
result in real problems for logging, and should generally not be seen as
a good feature. If we some day can get rid of the feature entirely,
because nobody does any fragmented printk calls, that would be lovely.
But until that point, let's at mark the code that relies on the hacky
multi-fragment kernel printk's. Not only does it avoid the ambiguity,
it also annotates code as "maybe this would be good to fix some day".
(That said, particularly during single-threaded bootup, the downsides of
KERN_CONT are very limited. Things get much hairier when you have
multiple threads going on and user level reading and writing logs too).

For now, these fall back to regular (dark) colors.
It'd be tempting to replace blink with bright backgrounds, as permitted by
CGA/VGA -- we already muck with the other programmable bit (foreground
brightness vs 512 character font). This would bring vgacon in line with
fbcon, which doesn't support blink anywhere but on some drivers renders
that bit as bright background. If that is done, this commit should be
amended to be one of ways of setting that bit.

This is caused by the vt visual_init() function calling into
fbcon_init() with a vc_cur_blink_ms value of zero. This is a
transient condition, as it is later set to a non-zero value. But, if
the timer happens to expire while the blink rate is zero, it goes into
an endless loop, and we get soft lockup.
The fix is to initialize vc_cur_blink_ms before calling the con_init()

add_softcursor() stores the contents of the text buffer position in this

therefore no character is to be restored. softcursor_original, however,
is only implicitly initialized with 0. Therefore, when hide_softcursor
is called for the first time (console_init -> con_init -> redraw_screen
-> hide_cursor), it wrongly writes 0x0000 in the top left corner of
the text buffer. Normally, this is just as black as the rest of the
screen (vc_video_erase_char) and can't be seen, but it appears as a

Staging: speakup: Fix getting port information
Revert "Staging: panel: usleep_range is preferred over udelay"
iio: adis_buffer: Fix out-of-bounds memory access
Previously, speakup would always read the non-scrolled part of the VT,
even when the VT is scrolled back with shift-page. This patch makes
vt.c export screen_pos so that speakup can use it to properly access
the content of the scrolled-back VT.
This was tested with both vgacon and fbcon.

[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

[2] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=107602
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.

Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all
corner cases correctly. This is a minor API consolidation only and

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)
