de6da1e8bc panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in buffer
Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending
printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic().

Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to replay all
dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due to the
loglevel setting, which will help panic debugging .

56e6c104e4 console: Replace #if 0 with atomic var 'ignore_console_lock_warning'
The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters
the console's critical section without having acquired the console
lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using
printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary
warnings.

The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables
WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's
critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and
decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning
is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it.

Acknoledgements: This patch is based on an earlier version by Steven
Rostedt. The use of atomic increment/decrement was suggested by Petr
Mladek.

83d83bebf4 console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover
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.

bcd375f7f7 console: Add callback to flush scrollback buffer to consw struct
This new callback is in preparation for persistent scrollback buffer
support for VGA consoles.
With a single scrollback buffer for all consoles, we could flush the
buffer just by invocating consw->con_switch(). But when each VGA console
has its own scrollback buffer, we need a new callback to tell the
video console driver which buffer to flush.

c6c7d83b9c Revert "console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"
This reverts commit 05fd007e46 ("console: don't prefer first
registered if DT specifies stdout-path").

The reverted commit changes existing behavior on which many ARM boards
rely.  Many ARM small-board-computers, like e.g.  the Raspberry Pi have
both a video output and a serial console.  Depending on whether the user
is using the device as a more regular computer; or as a headless device
we need to have the console on either one or the other.

Many users rely on the kernel behavior of the console being present on
both outputs, before the reverted commit the console setup with no
console= kernel arguments on an ARM board which sets stdout-path in dt
would look like this:

  [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles
  ttyS0                -W- (EC p a)    4:64
  tty0                 -WU (E  p  )    4:1

Where as after the reverted commit, it looks like this:

  [root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/consoles
  ttyS0                -W- (EC p a)    4:64

This commit reverts commit 05fd007e46 ("console: don't prefer first
registered if DT specifies stdout-path") restoring the original
behavior.

d705ff3818 tty: vt, cleanup and document con_scroll
Scrolling helpers scrup and scrdown both accept 'top' and 'bottom' as
unsigned int. Number of lines 'nr' is accepted as int, but all callers
pass down unsigned too. So change the type of 'nr' to unsigned too.
Now, promote unsigned int from the helpers up to the con_scroll
hook which actually accepted all those as signed int.

Next, the 'dir' parameter can have only two values and we define
constants for that: SM_UP and SM_DOWN. Switch them to enum and do
proper type checking on 'dir' too.

Finally, document the behaviour of the hook.

05fd007e46 console: don't prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path
If a device tree specifies a preferred device for kernel console output
via the stdout-path or linux,stdout-path chosen node properties or the
stdout alias then the kernel ought to honor it & output the kernel
console to that device.  As it stands, this isn't the case.  Whilst we
parse the stdout-path properties & set an of_stdout variable from
of_alias_scan(), and use that from of_console_check() to determine
whether to add a console device as a preferred console whilst
registering it, we also prefer the first registered console if no other
has been selected at the time of its registration.

This means that if a console other than the one the device tree selects
via stdout-path is registered first, we will switch to using it & when
the stdout-path console is later registered the call to
add_preferred_console() via of_console_check() is too late to do
anything useful.  In practice this seems to mean that we switch to the
dummy console device fairly early & see no further console output:

    Console: colour dummy device 80x25
    console [tty0] enabled
    bootconsole [ns16550a0] disabled

Fix this by not automatically preferring the first registered console if
one is specified by the device tree.  This allows consoles to be
registered but not enabled, and once the driver for the console selected
by stdout-path calls of_console_check() the driver will be added to the
list of preferred consoles before any other console has been enabled.
When that console is then registered via register_console() it will be
enabled as expected.

8d91f8b153 printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles
@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through
lock or trylock.  If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and
console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched().  This allows
console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield
while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling.

However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding
irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule
before starting outputting lines.  Also, only a few drivers call
console_conditional_schedule() to begin with.  This means that when a
lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a
console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for
a long time on a non-preemptible kernel.

If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial
console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time.
Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in
turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of
warnings incapacitating the system.

Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if
@console_may_schedule.

6fe29354be printk: implement support for extended console drivers
printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
sequence number and timestamp.  The metadata is currently available only
through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers.  We
want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
in transit.

This patch implements support for extended console drivers.  Consoles can
indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.

 "<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"

If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled.  This
ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
sequence number.  The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
the fragments from the reader side trivially.  Note that this only affects
/dev/kmsg.  Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
this change.

* Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
  are registered extended consoles.

* Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing

c7cef0a849 console: Add extensible console matching
Add match() method to struct console which allows the console to
perform console command line matching instead of (or in addition to)
default console matching (ie., by fixed name and index).

The match() method returns 0 to indicate a successful match; normal
console matching occurs if no match() method is defined or the
match() method returns non-zero. The match() method is expected to set
the console index if required.

Re-implement earlycon-to-console-handoff with direct matching of
"console=uart|uart8250,..." to the 8250 ttyS console.

50539dd4f8 vt: delete unneeded function unregister_con_driver
Now there is no place use unregister_con_driver,
and we can achieve unregister_con_driver's function
with unregister_con_driver easily, so just delete it
to reduce code size and duplication.

d0380e6c3c early_printk: consolidate random copies of identical code
The early console implementations are the same all over the place.  Move
the print function to kernel/printk and get rid of the copies.

fffddfd6c8 Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm merge from Dave Airlie:
 "Highlights:

   - TI LCD controller KMS driver

   - TI OMAP KMS driver merged from staging

   - drop gma500 stub driver

   - the fbcon locking fixes

   - the vgacon dirty like zebra fix.

   - open firmware videomode and hdmi common code helpers

   - major locking rework for kms object handling - pageflip/cursor
     won't block on polling anymore!

   - fbcon helper and prime helper cleanups

   - i915: all over the map, haswell power well enhancements, valleyview
     macro horrors cleaned up, killing lots of legacy GTT code,

   - radeon: CS ioctl unification, deprecated UMS support, gpu reset
     rework, VM fixes

   - nouveau: reworked thermal code, external dp/tmds encoder support
     (anx9805), fences sleep instead of polling,

   - exynos: all over the driver fixes."

Lovely conflict in radeon/evergreen_cs.c between commit de0babd60d
("drm/radeon: enforce use of radeon_get_ib_value when reading user cmd")
and the new changes that modified that evergreen_dma_cs_parse()
function.

e93a9a8687 fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess
I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver().  After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.
