seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data.
The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this,
is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer.
Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code
in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history
goes - 2.6.12-rc2.
AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change.
The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the
vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated
via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing.
I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep
this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did
not find any pattern on different places.
I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different
threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we
could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.

there's a race between vcs's lseek handler and VC release.
The lseek handler does not hold console_lock and touches
VC's size info. If during this the VC got released, there's
an access violation.
Following program triggers the issue for me:

#define _BSD_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/vt.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
static int run_seek(void)
{
while(1) {
int fd;
fd = open("./vcs30", O_RDWR);
while(lseek(fd, 0, 0) != -1);
close(fd);
}
}
static int open_ioctl_tty(void)
{
return open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR);
}
static int do_ioctl(int fd, int req, int i)
{
return ioctl(fd, req, i);
}
#define INIT(i) do_ioctl(ioctl_fd, VT_ACTIVATE, i)
#define SHUT(i) do_ioctl(ioctl_fd, VT_DISALLOCATE, i)
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int ioctl_fd = open_ioctl_tty();
if (ioctl < 0) {
perror("open tty1 failed\n");
return -1;
}
if ((-1 == mknod("vcs30", S_IFCHR|0666, makedev(7, 30))) &&
(errno != EEXIST)) {
printf("errno %d\n", errno);
perror("failed to create vcs30");
return -1;
}
do_ioctl(ioctl_fd, VT_LOCKSWITCH, 0);
if (!fork())
run_seek();
while(1) {
INIT(30);
SHUT(30);
}
return 0;
}

printk()s without a priority level default to KERN_WARNING. To reduce
noise at KERN_WARNING, this patch set the priority level appriopriately
for unleveled printks()s. This should be useful to folks that look at
dmesg warnings closely.

virtual console: add keyboard mode OFF
Add a new mode for the virtual console keyboard OFF in which all input
other than shift keys is ignored. Prevents vt input buffers from
overflowing when a program opens but doesn't read from a tty, like X11
using evdev for input.

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.

With framebuffer handover and multiple GPUs, we get into a
position where the fbcon unbinds the vesafb framebuffer for GPU 1,
but we still have a radeon framebuffer bound from GPU 0, so
we don't unregister the console driver. Then when we tried to bind
the new radeon framebuffer for GPU1 we never get to the bind
call as we fail due to the console being registered already.
This changes the return value to -EBUSY when the driver is
already registered and continues to bind for -EBUSY.

tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console.
The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog
to the console= kernel command line option.
The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual
console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.

Kay Sievers pointed out that usage of POLLIN is well defined by POSIX,
and the current usage here doesn't follow that definition. So let's
duplicate the same semantics as implemented by sysfs_poll() instead.

The autogenerated files (consolemap_deftbl.c and defkeymap.c) need to
be ignored by git, so move the .gitignore file that was doing it to the
properly location now that the files have moved as well.
