Pull TTY/Serial merge from Greg Kroah-Hartman: "Here's the big tty/serial tree set of changes for 3.8-rc1. Contained in here is a bunch more reworks of the tty port layer from Jiri and bugfixes from Alan, along with a number of other tty and serial driver updates by the various driver authors. Also, Jiri has been coerced^Wconvinced to be the co-maintainer of the TTY layer, which is much appreciated by me. All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while.

tty vt: Fix a regression in command line edition

2012-11-22T00:45:32Z

The commit 81732c3b2fede049a692e58a7ceabb6d18ffb18c ("Fix line garbage in virtual console on command line edition") made a regression with some machines: some characters were not erased after line edition. This patch adjusts the number of moved characters and the size of the region to be updated. Signed-off-by: Jean-François Moine Tested-by: Krzysztof Mazur Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c: Include for pm_set_vt_switch

2012-11-21T23:19:52Z

C files should include the header files that prototype their functions. This keeps the types in sync, and eliminates warnings from GCC (-Wmissing-prototypes) and Sparse (-Wdecl). Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers

2012-11-16T01:20:58Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

TTY: vt, fix paste_selection ldisc handling

2012-10-22T23:50:53Z

There used to be a single tty_ldisc_ref_wait. But then, when a big-tty-mutex (BTM) was introduced, it has to be tty_ldisc_ref + tty_unlock + tty_ldisc_ref_wait + tty_lock. Later, BTM was removed from that path and tty_ldisc_ref + tty_ldisc_ref_wait remained there. But it makes no sense now. So leave there only tty_ldisc_ref_wait. And when we have a reference to an ldisc, actually use it in the loop. Otherwise it may be racy. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kdb,vt_console: Fix missed data due to pager overruns

2012-10-12T11:37:35Z

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. Cc: Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel

tty vt: Fix line garbage in virtual console on command line edition

2012-09-10T23:35:46Z

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).

vt: fix race in vt_waitactive()

2012-07-26T20:37:02Z

pm_restore_console() is called from the suspend/resume path, and this calls vt_move_to_console(), which calls vt_waitactive(). There's a race in this path which causes the process which requests the suspend to sleep indefinitely waiting for an event which already happened: P1 P2 vt_move_to_console() set_console() schedule_console_callback() vt_waitactive() check n == fg_console +1 console_callback() switch_screen() vt_event_post() // no waiters vt_event_wait() // forever Fix the race by ensuring we're registered for the event before we check if it's already completed.
