Subject: [PATCH] vgacon: unconfuse vc_origin when using soft scrollback
Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 23:22:11 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <nycvar.YSQ.7.76.1901202317500.1525@knanqh.ubzr> (raw)
When CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK is selected, the VGA display memory
index and vc_visible_origin don't change when scrollback is activated.
The actual screen content is saved away and the scrollbackdata is copied
over it. However the vt code, and /dev/vcs devices in particular, still
expect vc_origin to always point at the actual screen content not the
displayed scrollback content.
So adjust vc_origin to point at the saved screen content when scrollback
is active and set it back to vc_visible_origin when restoring the screen.
This fixes /dev/vcsa<n> that return scrollback content when they
shouldn't (onli /dev/vcsa without a number should), and also fixes
/dev/vcsu that should return scrollback content when scrollback is
active but currently doesn't.
An unnecessary call to vga_set_mem_top() is also removed.

I tagged it for stable starting with v4.19 as this is the kernel that
introduced /dev/vcsu* which is directly affected. Users of earlier kernels
most likely won't care.
