fbcon: set a default value to blink interval

2016-02-26T11:19:55Z

Since commit 27a4c827c34ac4256a190cc9d24607f953c1c459 fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt two attempts have been made at fixing a possible hang caused by cursor_timer_handler. That function registers a timer to be triggered at "jiffies + fbcon_ops.cur_blink_jiffies". A new case had been encountered during initialisation of clcd-pl11x: fbcon_fb_registered do_fbcon_takeover -> do_register_con_driver fbcon_startup (A) add_cursor_timer (with cur_blink_jiffies = 0) -> do_bind_con_driver visual_init fbcon_init (B) cur_blink_jiffies = msecs_to_jiffies(vc->vc_cur_blink_ms); If we take an softirq anywhere between A and B (and we do), cursor_timer_handler executes indefinitely. Instead of patching all possible paths that lead to this case one at a time, fix the issue at the source and initialise cur_blink_jiffies to 200ms when allocating fbcon_ops. This was its default value before aforesaid commit. fbcon_cursor or fbcon_init will refine this value downstream.

fbcon: initialize blink interval before calling fb_set_par

2015-10-18T05:00:39Z

Since commit 27a4c827c34ac4256a190cc9d24607f953c1c459 fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt a PPC64LE kernel fails to boot when fbcon_add_cursor_timer uses an uninitialized ops->cur_blink_jiffies. Prevent by initializing in fbcon_init before the call to info->fbops->fb_set_par. Reported-and-tested-by: Alistair Popple Signed-off-by: Scot Doyle Cc: [v4.2] Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/video/concole: add negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE on ARC

2015-09-04T23:54:41Z

Architectures which support VGA console must define screen_info structurture from "uapi/linux/screen_info.h". Otherwise undefined symbol error occurs. Usually it's defined in "setup.c" for each architecture. If an architecture does not support VGA console (ARC's case) there are 2 ways: define a dummy instance of screen_info or add a negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE in to prevent selecting this option. I've implemented the second way. However the best solution is to add HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE option for targets which support VGA console. Then turn off VGA_CONSOLE by default and add dependency to HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE. But right now it's better to just add a negative dependency for ARC and then consider how to collaborate about this issue with maintainers of other architectures.

fbcon: Avoid deleting a timer in IRQ context

2015-05-27T12:55:38Z

Commit 27a4c827c34a ("fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt") unconditionally removes the cursor blink timer. Unfortunately that wreaks havoc under some circumstances. An easily reproducible way is to use both the framebuffer console and a debug serial port as the console output for kernel messages (e.g. "console=ttyS0 console=tty1" on the kernel command-line. Upon boot this triggers a warning from within the del_timer_sync() function because it is called from IRQ context: [ 5.070096] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 5.070110] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at ../kernel/time/timer.c:1098 del_timer_sync+0x4c/0x54() [ 5.070115] Modules linked in: [ 5.070120] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.1.0-rc4-next-20150519 #1 [ 5.070123] Hardware name: SAMSUNG EXYNOS (Flattened Device Tree) [ 5.070142] [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [ 5.070156] [] (show_stack) from [] (dump_stack+0x70/0xbc) [ 5.070164] [] (dump_stack) from [] (warn_slowpath_common+0x74/0xb0) [ 5.070169] [] (warn_slowpath_common) from [] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) [ 5.070174] [] (warn_slowpath_null) from [] (del_timer_sync+0x4c/0x54) [ 5.070183] [] (del_timer_sync) from [] (fbcon_del_cursor_timer+0x2c/0x40) [ 5.070190] [] (fbcon_del_cursor_timer) from [] (fbcon_cursor+0x9c/0x180) [ 5.070198] [] (fbcon_cursor) from [] (hide_cursor+0x30/0x98) [ 5.070204] [] (hide_cursor) from [] (vt_console_print+0x2a8/0x340) [ 5.070212] [] (vt_console_print) from [] (call_console_drivers.constprop.23+0xc8/0xec) [ 5.070218] [] (call_console_drivers.constprop.23) from [] (console_unlock+0x498/0x4f0) [ 5.070223] [] (console_unlock) from [] (vprintk_emit+0x1f0/0x508) [ 5.070228] [] (vprintk_emit) from [] (vprintk_default+0x24/0x2c) [ 5.070234] [] (vprintk_default) from [] (printk+0x70/0x88) After which the system starts spewing all kinds of weird and seemingly unrelated error messages.
