2008-02-08mn10300: add the MN10300/AM33 architecture to the kernelDavid Howells
Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the kernel. This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.

2008-02-06fbcon: fix color generation for monochrome framebufferThomas Pfaff
The current attr_fgcol_ec / attr_bgcol_ec macros do a simple shift of bits to get the color from vc_video_erase_char. For a monochrome display however the attribute does not contain any color, only attribute bits. Furthermore the reverse bit is lost because it is shifted out, the resulting color is always 0. This can bee seen on a monochrome console either directly or by setting it to inverse mode via "setterm -inversescreen on" . Text is written with correct color, fb_fillrects from a bit_clear / bit_clear_margins will get wrong colors. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@pcs.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

2007-10-16fbcon: delay the start of the cursor timer until a con_switch()Antonino Daplas
As reported in Bugzilla Bug 9093, upon switching to X, a small rectangular cursor can still be seen blinking in the upper left part of the screen. It is fbcon's text cursor. This is caused by a strange ioctl(..., KDSETMODE, KD_TEXT) call done by something in userspace, perhaps by X itself, while the tty is still in graphics mode. And when the tty is in KD_TEXT mode, the cursor timer is restarted. Although this is a userspace problem, we can work around it by delaying the restart of the cursor timer until an fbcon_switch() is called. In other words, the cursor timer will not be restarted even if a KD_TEXT mode switch is requested.

2007-10-16vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspaceAntonino A. Daplas
Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize() hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug 7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size larger than 80x25. To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The latter is the more correct behavior. With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

2007-07-17fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebufferJesse Barnes
This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers much easier, since you can properly clean them up before unloading. [adaplas] unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver. With this change, it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed. Additions from the original: If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map). Once only the outgoing driver remains, then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is set to y). It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release() just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().

2007-07-17fbcon: allow fbcon to use the primary display driverAntonino A. Daplas

If a a primary adapter is detected, fbcon will unbind the old adapter from the VT layer, then rebind using the new adapter. This requires that bind_/unbind_con_driver() be made public. Because this feature may produce unexpected behavior (from the user's POV), this must be explicitly enabled in Kconfig.

2007-05-08vgacon: disallow console operations when in KD_GRAPHICS modeAntonino A. Daplas
Reported by James Pearson as: boot to run level 3 if not root, then make sure /dev/console is writeable login and type: setterm -blank 0 start X type into an xterm: while true; do echo "" > /dev/console; usleep 100000; done while the above loop is running switch to the text console and back again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7) ... and the screen will be shifting (and wrapping) to the left. This problem stems from continuously writing text to the system console (which is in KD_TEXT mode) while the foreground console is in KD_GRAPHICS mode. Somewhere along the way, console printing got confused and omitted the KD_GRAPHICS/KD_TEXT test. Thus, vgacon attempted to scroll the screen of X, which causes X to shift. Fix by disallowing vgacon to touch the hardware when the vc is in KD_GRAPHICS mode. A definitive fix entails a full audit of the console code.

fbcon_set_font() will now check if the new font dimensions can be drawn by the driver (by checking pixmap.blit_x and blit_y). Similarly, add 2 new parameters to get_default_font(), font_w and font_h, to further aid in the font selection process.

2007-05-08fbcon: delay screen update when setting the mode of all consolesAntonino A. Daplas
If the current framebuffer console is rotated (rotate != 0), doing an "fbset -a" will corrupt the current console. Fix by updating the current console only after all non-visible consoles have been updated.

2007-05-08fbdev: don't show logo if driver or fbcon are modularAntonino A. Daplas
It was always intended for the logo to be drawn only if both fbcon and the driver that is mapped to it are both compiled statically. Currently, if fbcon is loaded prior to the driver, the logo is not shown. Reverse the order, and the code may attempt to draw the logo which is __initdata. By accident, this bug is rarely seen because this method of loading the modules is not common and secondly, a code in fb_prepare_logo() that checks the height of the logo (now a random value) rarely succeeds. Fix by drawing the logo only if both fbcon and the driver are statically compiled.

2007-05-08fbcon: don't draw cursor when it's disabledMichal Januszewski
When the cursor and echo are disabled on the current console, pressing a key will cause a black rectangle to be painted in the cursor's position. Fix this by not touching the framebuffer in fbcon_cursor() when the cursor is off. Signed-off-by: Michal Januszewski <spock@gentoo.org> Cc: "Antonino A.
