4995f8ef9d vcs: hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"
During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.

A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
  $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
  real    0m1.142s
  user    0m0.015s
  sys     0m0.540s

If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
  $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
  real    0m0.152s
  user    0m0.030s
  sys     0m0.072s

a88a69c912 n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_tty
Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when
the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens
frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C)
and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline.

Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all
ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters).  Along with the
loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between
tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately
written to the tty driver.

The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need
to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column
position).  This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output,
since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written.

Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code
to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the
Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks.

Highlights are:

* Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full
  - continuous program output can block echo
* Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S)
  - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output)
* Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not
  split up by interleaved program output
* Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to
  the tty driver
* Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline

1c55f18717 console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping
For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found
in the current font.  This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency
fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would
display nothing readable on the screen.

At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character
is defined.  In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where
there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g.  control character area)
you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card
glyphs.

I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII
code characters, i.e.  chars < 128.

The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

a564738c1c vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stop
Problem 1 (see patch below):
  vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct
  vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h .
  In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized
  leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than
  160 columns text.

Problem 2 (open):
  Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to
  invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator
  calculations:
    if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31)))
	break;

feebed6515 tty: shutdown method
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when
they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt
sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe.

Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which
is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown
method is tied into the refcounting.

Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic.

Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now
have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree
free up paths.

f700d6e5e5 vt: do not update when the console is blanked
vt.c DO_UPDATE macro checks if the console is visible but doesn't check if

c9e587abfd vt: fix background color on line feed
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as

	perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
	perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'

causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.

When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset.  However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color.  This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g.  `xterm -bg black`).

The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

e400b6ec4e vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspace
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.

623e71b035 fbcon: allow fbcon to use the primary display driver
Allow fbcon to select the primary display adapter using the
fb_is_primary_device() arch-specific helper.  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.

1ed8a2b3c5 console UTF-8 fixes (fix)
Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline.  Here is an additional patch
that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely:

1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode
   mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the
   kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table,
   which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I
   removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the
   replacement symbol.

   As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package)
   lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question
   marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font
   should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work
   around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII
   characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts
   ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users
   won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a
   not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only
   re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented
   letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English
   letters right.

2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a
   last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on
   framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but
   shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed.
   This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute.

3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's
   updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

Create a variable, default_utf8, that defines the system-wide default UTF-8
setting.  This variable can be altered via sysfs. If the variable is properly

This is based from patches by Jan Engelhardt and Paul LeoNerd Evans.

2f1a2ccb9c console UTF-8 fixes
The UTF-8 part of the vt driver suffers from the following issues which are
addressed in my patch:

1) If there's no glyph found for a particular valid UTF-8 character, we try
   to display U+FFFD. However if this one is not found either, here's what
   the current kernel does:

   - First, if the Unicode value is less than the number of glyphs, use the
     glyph directly from that position of the glyph table. While it may be a
     good idea in the 8-bit world, it has absolutely no sense with Unicode
     in mind. For example, if a Latin-2 font is loaded and an application
     prints U+00FB ("u with circumflex", not present in Latin-2) then as a
     fallback solution the glyph from the 0xFB position of the Latin-2
     fontset (which is an "u with double accent" - a different character) is
     displayed.

   - Second, if this fallback fails too, a simple ASCII question mark is
     printed, which is visually undistinguishable from a real question mark.

   I changed the code to skip the first step (except if in non-UTF-8 mode),
   and changed the second step to print the question mark with inverse color
   attributes, so it is visually clear that it's not a real question mark,
   and resembles more to the common glyph of U+FFFD.

2) The UTF-8 decoder is buggy in many ways:

   - Lone continuation bytes (section 3.1 of Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 stress
     test) are not caught, they are displayed as some "random" (taken
     directly form the font table, see above) glyphs instead the replacement
     character.

   - Incomplete sequences (sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the stress test) emit no
     replacement character, but rather cause the subsequent valid character
     to be displayed more times(!).

   - The decoder is not safe: overlong sequences are not caught currently,
     they are displayed as if these were valid representations. This may
     even have security impacts.

   - The decoder does not handle D800..DFFF and FFFE..FFFF specially, it
     just emits these code points and lets it be looked up in the glyph
     table. Since these are invalid code points, I replace them by U+FFFD
     and hence give no chance for them to be looked up in the glyph table.
     (Assuming no font ships glyphs for these code points, this change is
     not visible to the users since the glyph shown will be the same.)

   With my fixes to the decoder it now behaves exactly as Markus Kuhn's
   stress test recommends.

3) It has no concept of double-width (CJK) characters. It's way beyond the
   scope of my patch to try to display them, but at least I think it's
   important for the cursor to jump two positions when printing such
   characters, since this is what applications (such as text editors)
   expect. Currently the cursor only jumps one position, and hence
   applications suffer from displaying and refreshing problems, and editing
   some English letters that are preceded by some CJK characters in the same
   line is a nightmare. With my patch an additional space is inserted after
   the CJK character has been printed (which usually means a replacement
   symbol of course). (If U+FFFD isn't availble and hence an inverse
   question mark is displayed in the first cell, I keep the inverted state
   for the space in the 2nd column so it's quite easy to see that they are
   tied together.)

4) There is a small built-in table of zero-width spaces that are not to be
   printed but silently skipped. U+200A is included there, but it's not a
   zero-width character, so I remove it from there.

7f1f86a0d0 [PATCH] Fix SAK_work workqueue initialization.
Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling
got broken.  Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API
was changing so fast I missed something.  Regardless currently
triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel.

Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org> for spotting this.

This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data
structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call
schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK.  I update both
data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency.

All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone.

If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it
has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate
schedule_work request.

ab521dc0f8 [PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pid
Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest
consumer.  But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only
lasts until the session leader exits.  Which means that no reference counting
is required.  So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to
avoid hash table lookups.

In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid
spaces mixed everything will work correctly.
