027b57170b serial: core: Fix initializing and restoring termios speed
Since commit edc6afc549 ("tty: switch to ktermios and new framework")
termios speed is no longer stored only in c_cflag member but also in new
additional c_ispeed and c_ospeed members. If BOTHER flag is set in c_cflag
then termios speed is stored only in these new members.

Therefore to correctly restore termios speed it is required to store also
ispeed and ospeed members, not only cflag member.

In case only cflag member with BOTHER flag is restored then functions
tty_termios_baud_rate() and tty_termios_input_baud_rate() returns baudrate
stored in c_ospeed / c_ispeed member, which is zero as it was not restored
too. If reported baudrate is invalid (e.g. zero) then serial core functions
report fallback baudrate value 9600. So it means that in this case original
baudrate is lost and kernel changes it to value 9600.

Simple reproducer of this issue is to boot kernel with following command
line argument: "console=ttyXXX,86400" (where ttyXXX is the device name).
For speed 86400 there is no Bnnn constant and therefore kernel has to
represent this speed via BOTHER c_cflag. Which means that speed is stored
only in c_ospeed and c_ispeed members, not in c_cflag anymore.

If bootloader correctly configures serial device to speed 86400 then kernel
prints boot log to early console at speed speed 86400 without any issue.
But after kernel starts initializing real console device ttyXXX then speed
is changed to fallback value 9600 because information about speed was lost.

This patch fixes above issue by storing and restoring also ispeed and
ospeed members, which are required for BOTHER flag.

a91bd6223e Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"
This reverts commit 757055ae8d.

The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.

It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().

Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.

The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aee
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
 or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
 that was widely used and worked only by chance.

This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.

The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:

  + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
    the ultimate fallback.

  + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
    not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
    Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
    by a better console later.

Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.

Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

757055ae8d init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console
stdin, stdout, and stderr standard I/O stream are created for the init
process. They are not available when there is no console registered
for /dev/console. It might lead to a crash when the init process
tries to use them, see the commit 48021f9813 ("printk: handle
blank console arguments passed in.").

Normally, ttySX and ttyX consoles are used as a fallback when no consoles
are defined via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. But there
will be no console registered when an invalid console name is configured
or when the configured consoles do not exist on the system.

Users even try to avoid the console intentionally, for example,
by using console="" or console=null. It is used on production
systems where the serial port or terminal are not visible to
users. Pushing messages to these consoles would just unnecessary
slowdown the system.

Make sure that stdin, stdout, stderr, and /dev/console are always
available by a fallback to the existing ttynull driver. It has
been implemented for exactly this purpose but it was used only
when explicitly configured.

33225d7b0a printk: Correctly set CON_CONSDEV even when preferred console was not registered
CON_CONSDEV flag was historically used to put/keep the preferred console
first in console_drivers list. Where the preferred console is the last
on the command line.

The ordering is important only when opening /dev/console:

  + tty_kopen()
    + tty_lookup_driver()
      + console_device()

The flag was originally an implementation detail. But it was later
made accessible from userspace via /proc/consoles. It was used,
for example, by the tool "showconsole" to show the real tty
accessible via /dev/console, see
https://github.com/bitstreamout/showconsole

Now, the current code sets CON_CONSDEV only for the preferred
console or when a fallback console is added. The flag is not
set when the preferred console is defined on the command line
but it is not registered from some reasons.

Simple solution is to set CON_CONSDEV flag for the first
registered console. It will work most of the time because:

  + Most real consoles have console->device defined.

  + Boot consoles are removed in printk_late_init().

  + unregister_console() moves CON_CONSDEV flag to the next
    console.

Clean solution would require checking con->device when the
preferred console is registered and in unregister_console().

Conclusion:

Use the simple solution for now. It is better than the current
state and good enough.

The clean solution is not worth it. It would complicate the already
complicated code without too much gain. Instead the code would deserve
a complete rewrite.

ed31685c96 console: Introduce ->exit() callback
Some consoles might require special operations on unregistering.
For instance, serial console, when registered in the kernel,
keeps power on for entire time, until it gets unregistered.
Example of use:

	->setup(console):
		pm_runtime_get(...);

	->exit(console):
		pm_runtime_put(...);

For such cases to have a balance we would provide ->exit() callback.

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.

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.

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.

52ad1f38b4 tty: vt, remove consw->con_bmove
It is never called since commit 81732c3b2f (tty vt: Fix line
garbage in virtual console on command line edition) in 3.7. So remove
all the callbacks.
