Basic braille screen reader support

2008-04-30T15:29:52Z

This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support. This is meant to be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

tty: The big operations rework

2008-04-30T15:29:47Z

- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux objects - Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour - Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer - Document which functions are needed/optional - Make put_char report success/fail - Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops - Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need - Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan - Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/compat_ioctl.c build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix isicom] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix arch/ia64/hp/sim/simserial.c build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix kgdb] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Jason Wessel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

isolate ratelimit from printk.c for other use

2008-04-29T15:06:06Z

Due to the rcupreempt.h WARN_ON trigged, I got 2G syslog file. For some serious complaining of kernel, we need repeat the warnings, so here I isolate the ratelimit part of printk.c to a standalone file. Signed-off-by: Dave Young Acked-by: Paul E.

Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()"

2008-04-15T20:09:54Z

When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console(). Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch.

Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible

2008-03-25T02:25:08Z

The printk() logic on when/how to get the console semaphore was unreadable, this splits the code up into a few helper functions and makes it easier to follow what is going on. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

printk: fix possible printk overrun

2008-02-26T15:42:37Z

printk recursion detection prepends message to printk_buf and offsets printk_buf when actual message is printed but it forgets to trim buffer length accordingly. This can result in overrun in extreme cases. Fix it.
