2025-05-26dummycon: Trigger redraw when switching consoles with deferred takeoverThomas Zimmermann
Signal vt subsystem to redraw console when switching to dummycon with deferred takeover enabled. Makes the console switch to fbcon and displays the available output. With deferred takeover enabled, dummycon acts as the placeholder until the first output to the console happens. At that point, fbcon takes over. If the output happens while dummycon is not active, it cannot inform fbcon. This is the case if the vt subsystem runs in graphics mode. A typical graphical boot starts plymouth, a display manager and a compositor; all while leaving out dummycon. Switching to a text-mode console leaves the console with dummycon even if a getty terminal has been started. Returning true from dummycon's con_switch helper signals the vt subsystem to redraw the screen. If there's output available dummycon's con_putc{s} helpers trigger deferred takeover of fbcon, which sets a display mode and displays the output. If no output is available, dummycon remains active. v2: - make the comment slightly more verbose (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reported-by: Andrei Borzenkov <arvidjaar@gmail.com> Closes: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1242191 Tested-by: Andrei Borzenkov <arvidjaar@gmail.com> Acked-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Fixes: 83d83bebf401 ("console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover") Cc: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Cc: linux-fbdev@vger.kernel.org Cc: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.19+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250520071418.8462-1-tzimmermann@suse.de

2023-10-17dummycon: limit Arm console size hack to footbridgeArnd Bergmann
The dummycon default console size used to be determined by architecture, but now this is a Kconfig setting on everything except ARM. Tracing this back in the historic git trees, this was used to match the size of VGA console or VGA framebuffer on early machines, but nowadays that code is no longer used, except probably on the old footbridge/netwinder since that is the only one that supports vgacon. On machines with a framebuffer, booting with DT so far results in always using the hardcoded 80x30 size in dummycon, while on ATAGS the setting can come from a bootloader specific override. Both seem to be worse choices than the Kconfig setting, since the actual text size for fbcon also depends on the selected font. Make this work the same way as everywhere else and use the normal Kconfig setting, except for the footbridge with vgacon, which keeps using the traditional code. If vgacon is disabled, footbridge can also ignore the setting. This means the screen_info only has to be provided when either vgacon or EFI are enabled now. To limit the amount of surprises on Arm, change the Kconfig default to the previously used 80x30 setting instead of the usual 80x25.

2020-11-16console: Delete dummy con_font_set() and con_font_default() callback ↵Peilin Ye
implementations .con_font_set and .con_font_default callbacks should not pass `struct console_font *` as a parameter, since `struct console_font` is a UAPI structure. We are trying to let them use our new kernel font descriptor, `struct font_desc` instead. To make that work slightly easier, first delete all of their no-op implementations used by dummy consoles. This will make KD_FONT_OP_SET and KD_FONT_OP_SET_DEFAULT ioctl() requests on dummy consoles start to fail and return `-ENOSYS`, which is intended, since no user should ever expect such operations to succeed on dummy consoles.

2018-06-28console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeoverHans de Goede
Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered. This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer (typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is. The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not enable fbcon. This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option, which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the "quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as soon as e.g. an error message is logged. Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver, rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after 2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only feasible option.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
