The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console.The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog
to the console= kernel command line option.The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual
console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers

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 0m0.540sIf 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

Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.
This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace. It was
motivated by several factors:
- the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
configurations
- coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
- user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
messages more difficult
- suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
configurations with kernel level supportThis commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.Co-authors: Jesse Barnes , Jakob Bornecrantz

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first
console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one
behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is).This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the
PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is
merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the
Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the
kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3dfbc117dff26058fbac316b8acfc2cb5f7
did that for us.Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty
again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to
enable the Xen console as well.Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is
enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup
game is over.Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred
console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes
successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon

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.Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8it will print in very early stage:

The framebuffer console is now able to dynamically bind and unbind from the VT
console layer. Due to the way the VT console layer works, the drivers
themselves decide when to bind or unbind. However, it was decided that
binding must be controlled, not by the drivers themselves, but by the VT
console layer. With this, dynamic binding is possible for all VT console
drivers, not just fbcon.Thus, the VT console layer will impose the following to all VT console
drivers:- all registered VT console drivers will be entered in a private list
- drivers can register themselves to the VT console layer, but they cannot
decide when to bind or unbind. (Exception: To maintain backwards
compatibility, take_over_console() will automatically bind the driver after
registration.)
- drivers can remove themselves from the list by unregistering from the VT
console layer. A prerequisite for unregistration is that the driver must not
be bound.The following functions are new in the vt.c:
register_con_driver() - public function, this function adds the VT console
driver to an internal list maintained by the VT consolebind_con_driver() - private function, it binds the driver to the console
take_over_console() is changed to call register_con_driver() followed by a
bind_con_driver(). This is the only time drivers can decide when to bind to
the VT layer. This is to maintain backwards compatibility.unbind_con_driver() - private function, it unbinds the driver from its
console. The vacated consoles will be taken over by the default boot console
driver.unregister_con_driver() - public function, removes the driver from the
internal list maintained by the VT console. It will only succeed if the
driver is currently unbound.con_is_bound() checks if the driver is currently bound or not
give_up_console() is just a wrapper to unregister_con_driver().
There are also 3 additional functions meant to be called only by the tty layer
for sysfs control:vt_bind() - calls bind_con_driver()
vt_unbind() - calls unbind_con_driver()
vt_show_drivers() - shows the list of registered driversMost VT console drivers will continue to work as is, but might have problems
when unbinding or binding which should be fixable with minimal changes.Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas

Currently printk is no use for early debugging because it refuses to
actually print anything to the console unless
cpu_online(smp_processor_id()) is true.The stated explanation is that console drivers may require per-cpu
resources, or otherwise barf, because the system is not yet setup
correctly. Fair enough.However some console drivers might be quite happy running early during
boot, in fact we have one, and so it'd be nice if printk understood that.So I added a flag (which I would have called CON_BOOT, but that's taken)
called CON_ANYTIME, which indicates that a console is happy to be called
anytime, even if the cpu is not yet online.Tested on a Power 5 machine, with both a CON_ANYTIME driver and a bogus
console driver that BUG()s if called while offline. No problems AFAICT.
