Console blanking is not enabling DPMS power saving (thereby negating any
power-saving benefit), and is simply turning the screen content blank. This
means that any crash output is invisible which is unhelpful on a server
(virtual or otherwise).
Furthermore, CRT burn in concerns should no longer govern the default case.
Affected users could always set consoleblank on the kernel command line.

show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant
to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is
done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the
mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as
expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating
task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to
request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see
new_node_page).
Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the
show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL
nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

drivers/input/input-leds.c with regard to what is a Scroll Lock LED
trigger name: input calls it "kbd-scrolllock", but vt calls it
"kbd-scrollock" (two l's).
This prevents Scroll Lock LED trigger from binding to this LED by default.
Since it is a scroLL Lock LED, this interface was introduced only about a
year ago and in an Internet search people seem to reference this trigger
only to set it to this LED let's simply rename it to "kbd-scrolllock".

pass down unsigned too. So change the type of 'nr' to unsigned too.
Now, promote unsigned int from the helpers up to the con_scroll
hook which actually accepted all those as signed int.
Next, the 'dir' parameter can have only two values and we define
constants for that: SM_UP and SM_DOWN. Switch them to enum and do
proper type checking on 'dir' too.

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.

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
variable before drawing the softcursor, whereas hide_softcursor() writes
the value back. A value of -1 means that no cursor has been drawn and
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
black cursor rectangle on non-black backgrounds e.g. with boot option
"vt.global_cursor_default=0 vt.color=0xf0". softcursor_original needs
to be initialized with -1.

Author: Antonino A. Daplas <adaplas@gmail.com>
Date: Mon Jun 26 00:27:12 2006 -0700
[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

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)

First round of fixes for 3.16-rc, mostly cc: stable, and the vt/vgacon
fixes from Daniel [1] to avoid hangs and unclaimed register errors on
module load/reload.
* tag 'drm-intel-fixes-2014-06-17' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel:
drm/i915/bdw: remove erroneous chv specific workarounds from bdw code
drm/i915: fix possible refcount leak when resetting forcewake
drm/i915: Reorder semaphore deadlock check
drm/i95: Initialize active ring->pid to -1
drm/i915: set backlight duty cycle after backlight enable for gen4
drm/i915: Avoid div-by-zero when pixel_multiplier is zero
drm/i915: Disable FBC by default also on Haswell and later
drm/i915: Kick out vga console
drm/i915: Fixup global gtt cleanup
vt: Don't ignore unbind errors in vt_unbind
vt: Fix up unregistration of vt drivers
vt: Fix replacement console check when unbinding
Otherwise the loop will never stop since we don't make any
forward progress. Noticed while breaking this accidentally
in a painful attempt to make vga_con unregistering work.
With this patch we'll bail out on the first attempt, which
at least leaves a useful enough system behind for debugging.
Livelocks on console_lock just aren't fun.

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).

uni_pagedir.readonly is never set. Let's get rid of superfluous check
codes.

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
