Adjust and honor the vc_scrl_erase_char for 256 and 512 character fonts.
It fixes the issue with disappearing cursor during scrolling
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11258). The issue was

This reverts commit 2d04a4a72d7e1519b4838f24bdd4b5d0f3f426dc, which made
it impossible to make the softcursor use the highlight colors.Yes, the fourth bit should be "blinking", but since we cannot reasonably
blink in fbcon, highlighting it with a bright background is preferable.Reported-by: Pavel Machek

On HPPA there exists some older GSC graphics cards, which need special
graphic-card-BIOS patching to become supported. Since we don't have yet
implemented the patching, it's better to detect such cards in advance,
inform to the user that there are known problems and to not activate the
card.Problematic GSC cards and BIOS versions are:
* Hyperdrive/Hyperbowl (A4071A) graphics card series:
* ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/8)
* ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/11)
* Thunder 1 VISUALIZE 48 card:
* ID = 0x2F23E5FC (Version 8.05/9)
* Thunder 2 VISUALIZE 48 XP card:
* ID = 0x2F8D570E (Version 8.05/12)
* Some Hyperion and ThunderHawk GSC cardsFurther details are described here:

mdacon incorrectly detects MDA hardware on systems without such graphics card.
One may load this module by chance, for example when doing some systematical
module-testing, and if there is no Monochrome Display Adapter attached ,
module init renders vc1-16 completely unusable.I and others have run into this more than once. see [Bug 224522 - modprobe
mdacon freezes machine -> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224522 ]
for exampleApparently proper MDA detection seems to be broken for a long time - seems to
be related to those #ifdef TEST_MDA_B statements added by Edward Betts.this commit back in 2002 made things even worse :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commit;h=c72757b49c88914433244757fb4967fc63546685It changed default vc allocation from 13-16 to 1-16 for no apparent reason
(!?) , and with that (and without X), mdacon grabs the vc you`re currently
sitting on and locks you out.this is from Kconfig :
>config MDA_CONSOLE
> depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
> tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
> ---help---
> Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
> adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
> will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
> say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
> normal VGA driver will handle it.As we can see mdacon is just meant as an additional driver for dual-head
setup, and since kernel 2.4.36 still defaults to vc13-16 , setting the default
back to that value again shouldn`t do any harm.Hereby i'm reverting that change, setting default back to to vc13-16 again.
Besides the fact that mdacon may be rarely or never be used these days and
could perhaps put to trash anyway (pre-dinosaur hardware!), indeed this is not
a real solution, but at least it removes the unfortunate side-effect of
messing up the vc you`re working on.Signed-off-by: Roland Kletzing

Another addendum to commit c9e587abfdec2c2aaa55fab83bcb4972e2f84f9b
("vt: fix background color on line feed").fbcon still was not doing the right thing (read: continued to do old
behavior). fbcon_clear() seems to clear the new line (e.g. where your new
prompt appears after doing echo -en "\e[42mfoo\n"), while scr_memsetw clears
the previous one only (where "foo" appears). So just temporarily set the
video_erase_char to the scrl_erase_char so that fbcon_clear does the right
thing.Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt

A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such asperl -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.Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt

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

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.Regression potential: Present but low

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
