The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen

When FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND is sent, fbcon has two paths, one path taken
when there is another frame buffer to switch any affected vcs to and
another path when there isn't.In the case where there is another frame buffer to use,
fbcon_fb_unbind calls set_con2fb_map to remap all of the affected vcs
to the replacement frame buffer. set_con2fb_map will eventually call
con2fb_release_oldinfo when the last vcs gets unmapped from the old
frame buffer.con2fb_release_oldinfo frees the fbcon data that is hooked off of the
fb_info structure, including the cursor timer.In the case where there isn't another frame buffer to use,
fbcon_fb_unbind simply calls fbcon_unbind, which doesn't clear the
con2fb_map or free the fbcon data hooked from the fb_info
structure. In particular, it doesn't stop the cursor blink timer. When
the fb_info structure is then freed, we end up with a timer queue
pointing into freed memory and "bad things" start happening.This patch first changes con2fb_release_oldinfo so that it can take a
NULL pointer for the new frame buffer, but still does all of the
deallocation and cursor timer cleanup.Finally, the patch tries to replicate some of what set_con2fb_map does
by clearing the con2fb_map for the affected vcs and calling the
modified con2fb_release_info function to clean up the fb_info structure.Signed-off-by: Keith Packard

The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is
why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are
available. This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not
supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

arm64 is unlikely to have a VGA console and does not export screen_info
causing build failures if the driver is build, for example in all*config.
Add a dependency on !ARM64 to prevent this.This list is getting quite long, it may be easier to depend on a symbol
which architectures that do support the driver can select.Signed-off-by: Mark Brown

STI text console (sticon) was broken on 64bit machines with more than
4GB RAM and this lead in some cases to a kernel crash.Since sticon uses the 32bit STI API it needs to keep pointers to memory
below 4GB. But on a 64bit kernel some memory regions (e.g. the kernel
stack) might be above 4GB which then may crash the kernel in the STI
functions.Additionally sticon didn't selected the built-in framebuffer fonts by
default. This is now fixed.On a side-note: Theoretically we could enhance the sticon driver to
use the 64bit STI API. But - beside the fact that some machines don't
provide a 64bit STI ROM - this would just add complexity.Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev provides framebuffer hotplugging, hence, we need to allow fbcon to
unbind from framebuffers. Unfortunately, fbcon_fb_unbind() cannot unbind
from the last framebuffer, unless console-unbinding is supported.Fixing fbcon_unbind() to return 0 caused some horrible NULL-derefs in the
VT layer and I couldn't figure out why. Hence, lets just require
console-unbinding so fbdev hotplugging works with fbcon.Signed-off-by: David Herrmann

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
"Okay this is the big one, I was stalled on the fbdev pull req as I
stupidly let fbdev guys merge a patch I required to fix a warning with
some patches I had, they ended up merging the patch from the wrong
place, but the warning should be fixed. In future I'll just take the
patch myself!Outside drm:
There are some snd changes for the HDMI audio interactions on haswell,
they've been acked for inclusion via my tree. This relies on the
wound/wait tree from Ingo which is already merged.Major changes:
AMD finally released the dynamic power management code for all their
GPUs from r600->present day, this is great, off by default for now but
also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request.Since it landed there has been a lot of community testing and Alex has
sent a lot of fixes for any bugs found so far. I suspect radeon might
now be the biggest kernel driver ever :-P p.s. radeon.dpm=1 to enable
dynamic powermanagement for anyone.New drivers:
Renesas r-car display unit.
Other highlights:
- core: GEM CMA prime support, use new w/w mutexs for TTM
reservations, cursor hotspot, doc updates
- dvo chips: chrontel 7010B support
- i915: Haswell (fbc, ips, vecs, watermarks, audio powerwell),
Valleyview (enabled by default, rc6), lots of pll reworking, 30bpp
support (this time for sure)
- nouveau: async buffer object deletion, context/register init
updates, kernel vp2 engine support, GF117 support, GK110 accel
support (with external nvidia ucode), context cleanups.
- exynos: memory leak fixes, Add S3C64XX SoC series support, device
tree updates, common clock framework support,
- qxl: cursor hotspot support, multi-monitor support, suspend/resume
support
- mgag200: hw cursor support, g200 mode limiting
- shmobile: prime support

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
changes necessary at this point.The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads
to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
less effective.Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."* 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:

The current Makefile rules to build font support are messy and buggy.
Replace them by Kconfig rules:
- Introduce CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT, which controls the building of all font
code,
- Select CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT for all drivers that use fonts,
- Select CONFIG_FONT_8x16 for all drivers that default to the VGA8x16
font,
- Drop the bogus console dependency for CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI,
- Always process drivers/video/console/Makefile, as some drivers need
fonts even if CONFIG_VT is not set.This fixes (if CONFIG_SOLO6X10=y and there are no built-in console

fbcon uses workqueues and it has no real dependency of scheduling these on the
cpu which scheduled them.On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.This patch replaces system_wq with system_power_efficient_wq.

Okay so Alan's patch handled the case where there was no registered fbcon,
however the other path entered in set_con2fb_map pit.In there we called fbcon_takeover, but we also took the console lock in a couple
of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map,this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier
entry points that lead to this.This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten.

If grub2 loads efifb/vesafb, then when systemd starts it can set the console
font on that framebuffer device, however when we then load the native KMS
driver, the first thing it does is tear down the generic framebuffer driver.The thing is the generic code is doing the right thing, it frees the font
because otherwise it would leak memory. However we can assume that if you
are removing the generic firmware driver (vesa/efi/offb), that a new driver
*should* be loading soon after, so we effectively leak the font.However the old code left a dangling pointer in vc->vc_font.data and we
can now reuse that dangling pointer to load the font into the new
driver, now that we aren't freeing it.Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892340

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.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.CC: Florian Tobias Schandinat

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.Cc: Bill Pemberton

Because of commit e84de0c61905030a0fe66b7210b6f1bb7c3e1eab [MIPS: GIO bus
support for SGI IP22/28] newport con is now taking over console from
dummy con, therefore it's necessary to resize the VC to the correct size
