When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the
current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds
the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus
the new font misrenders.
The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it
ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char
which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on
screen at boot and is quite ugly.
A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the
screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen
no longer corrupts.
v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we
are are going to or from 512 chars.

Fixed up some trivial conflicts in the staging tree, due to the fwserial

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.

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.

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).

set_get_cmap() ignored the result of {get,put}_user(), causing ioctl(vt,

Another side effect of this: calling the PIO_CMAP ioctl with an invalid

colors set to black).
Leave the default colormap intact and return -EFAULT when
reading/writing to the userspace buffer fails.

Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely
ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on
- Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users
- Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer
- Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress
- Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking
around properly
- Tweak the braille console so it still builds
There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous
they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is
private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place.
This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data.
The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this,
is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer.
Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code
in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history
goes - 2.6.12-rc2.
AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change.
The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the
vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated
via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing.
I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep
this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did
not find any pattern on different places.
I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different
threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we
could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.

With framebuffer handover and multiple GPUs, we get into a
position where the fbcon unbinds the vesafb framebuffer for GPU 1,
but we still have a radeon framebuffer bound from GPU 0, so
we don't unregister the console driver. Then when we tried to bind
the new radeon framebuffer for GPU1 we never get to the bind
call as we fail due to the console being registered already.
This changes the return value to -EBUSY when the driver is
