* console ASCII glyph 1:1 mappingIngo Brueckl2008-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found in the current font. This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would display nothing readable on the screen. At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character is defined. In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g. control character area) you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card glyphs. I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII code characters, i.e. chars < 128. The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

* vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stopWolfgang Kroworsch2008-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem 1 (see patch below): vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h . In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than 160 columns text. Problem 2 (open): Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator calculations: if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31))) break; Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Kroworsch <wolfgang@kroworsch.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* tty: shutdown methodAlan Cox2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe. Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown method is tied into the refcounting. Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic. Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree free up paths.

* vt: fix background color on line feedJan Engelhardt2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active, such as perl -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.

* vt/vgacon: Check if screen resize request comes from userspaceAntonino A. Daplas2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* console UTF-8 fixes (fix)Egmont Koblinger2007-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently my console UTF-8 patch went mainline. Here is an additional patch that fixes two nasty issues and improves a third one, namely: 1. My patch changed the behavior if a glyph is not found in the Unicode mapping table. Previously for Unicode values less than 256 or 512 the kernel tried to display the glyph from that position of the glyph table, which could lead to a different accented letter being displayed. I removed this fallback possibility and changed it to display the replacement symbol. As Behdad pointed out, some fonts (e.g. sun12x22 from the kbd package) lack Unicode mapping information, hence all you get is lots of question marks. Though theoretically it's actually a user-space bug (the font should be fixed), Behdad and I both believe that it'd be good to work around in the kernel by re-introducing the fallback solution for ASCII characters only. This sounds a quite reasonable decision, since all fonts ship the ASCII characters in the first 128 positions. This way users won't be surprised by lots of question marks just because s/he issued a not-so-perfectly parameterized setfont command. As this fallback is only re-introduced for code points below 128, you still won't see an accented letter replaced by another, but at least you'll always get the English letters right. 2. My patch introduced "question mark with inverted color attributes" as a last resort fallback glyph. Though it perfectly works on VGA console, on framebuffer you may end up with question marks that are highlighed but shouldn't be, and normal characters that are accidentally highlighed. This is caused by missing FLUSHes when changing the color attribute. 3. I've updated the table of double-width character based on Markus's updated version. Only ten new code poings (one interval) is added.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The UTF-8 part of the vt driver suffers from the following issues which are addressed in my patch: 1) If there's no glyph found for a particular valid UTF-8 character, we try to display U+FFFD. However if this one is not found either, here's what the current kernel does: - First, if the Unicode value is less than the number of glyphs, use the glyph directly from that position of the glyph table. While it may be a good idea in the 8-bit world, it has absolutely no sense with Unicode in mind. For example, if a Latin-2 font is loaded and an application prints U+00FB ("u with circumflex", not present in Latin-2) then as a fallback solution the glyph from the 0xFB position of the Latin-2 fontset (which is an "u with double accent" - a different character) is displayed. - Second, if this fallback fails too, a simple ASCII question mark is printed, which is visually undistinguishable from a real question mark. I changed the code to skip the first step (except if in non-UTF-8 mode), and changed the second step to print the question mark with inverse color attributes, so it is visually clear that it's not a real question mark, and resembles more to the common glyph of U+FFFD. 2) The UTF-8 decoder is buggy in many ways: - Lone continuation bytes (section 3.1 of Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 stress test) are not caught, they are displayed as some "random" (taken directly form the font table, see above) glyphs instead the replacement character. - Incomplete sequences (sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the stress test) emit no replacement character, but rather cause the subsequent valid character to be displayed more times(!). - The decoder is not safe: overlong sequences are not caught currently, they are displayed as if these were valid representations. This may even have security impacts. - The decoder does not handle D800..DFFF and FFFE..FFFF specially, it just emits these code points and lets it be looked up in the glyph table. Since these are invalid code points, I replace them by U+FFFD and hence give no chance for them to be looked up in the glyph table. (Assuming no font ships glyphs for these code points, this change is not visible to the users since the glyph shown will be the same.) With my fixes to the decoder it now behaves exactly as Markus Kuhn's stress test recommends. 3) It has no concept of double-width (CJK) characters. It's way beyond the scope of my patch to try to display them, but at least I think it's important for the cursor to jump two positions when printing such characters, since this is what applications (such as text editors) expect. Currently the cursor only jumps one position, and hence applications suffer from displaying and refreshing problems, and editing some English letters that are preceded by some CJK characters in the same line is a nightmare. With my patch an additional space is inserted after the CJK character has been printed (which usually means a replacement symbol of course). (If U+FFFD isn't availble and hence an inverse question mark is displayed in the first cell, I keep the inverted state for the space in the 2nd column so it's quite easy to see that they are tied together.) 4) There is a small built-in table of zero-width spaces that are not to be printed but silently skipped. U+200A is included there, but it's not a zero-width character, so I remove it from there.

* [PATCH] Fix SAK_work workqueue initialization.Eric W. Biederman2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somewhere in the rewrite of the work queues my cleanup of SAK handling got broken. Maybe I didn't retest it properly or possibly the API was changing so fast I missed something. Regardless currently triggering a SAK now generates an ugly BUG_ON and kills the kernel. Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@openvz.org> for spotting this. This modifies the use of SAK_work to initialize it when the data structure it resides in is initialized, and to simply call schedule_work when we need to generate a SAK. I update both data structures that have a SAK_work member for consistency. All of the old PREPARE_WORK calls that are now gone. If we call schedule_work again before it has processed it has generated the first SAK it will simply ignore the duplicate schedule_work request. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] tty: update the tty layer to work with struct pidEric W. Biederman2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Of kernel subsystems that work with pids the tty layer is probably the largest consumer. But it has the nice virtue that the assiation with a session only lasts until the session leader exits. Which means that no reference counting is required. So using struct pid winds up being a simple optimization to avoid hash table lookups. In the long term the use of pid_nr also ensures that when we have multiple pid spaces mixed everything will work correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
