Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover
Date:   Tue, 26 Jun 2018 15:55:35 +0200
Message-Id: <20180626135535.2990-4-hdegoede@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180626135535.2990-1-hdegoede@redhat.com>

Precedence: bulk

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.

Changes in v2:
-Check the whole string when checking for erases in putcs, instead of just
 the first char
-Make dummycon_blank return 1, so that a redraw gets triggered and any text
 rendered while blanked gets output so that it can trigger a deferred
 takeover if one is pending

Changes in v3:
-Call WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() from fbcon_output_notifier()
-Unregister the notifier on fbcon_exit()
-Document the fbcon=nodefer commandline option in Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt
