2006-12-08[PATCH] softcursor.c: avoid unaligned accessesFranck Bui-Huu
Fix some possible unaligned accesses when accessing fields of 'image' pointer. Indeed this pointer was obtained by allocating a block of memory that embeds a temporary array plus an image structure. The temporary buffer was located at the start of the allocated block and depending on its size, the image structure which comes right after can be unaligned. For example when using mini fonts (4x6) (cursor's width is 4 and its height is 6) the temporary buf size is 6 bytes. Therefore this patch moves the image structure to the start of the block and moves the temporary buffer right after. It makes 'image' pointer always aligned and since the tempo buf is a buffer of char, it's always correctly aligned as well. It also fixes the file header alignement.

2006-10-03[PATCH] fbcon: Use persistent allocation for cursor blinkingDave Jones
Every time the console cursor blinks, we do a kmalloc/kfree pair. This patch turns that into a single allocation. This allocation was the most frequent kmalloc I saw on my test box. [adaplas] Per Alan's suggestion, move global variables to fbcon's private structure. This would also avoid resource leaks when fbcon is unloaded.

2006-07-10[PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.hJon Smirl
MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their dependency on tty.h.

2006-01-10[PATCH] drivers/video/: possible cleanupsAdrian Bunk
This patch contains the possible cleanups including the following: - every file should #include the headers containing the prototypes for it's global functions - make needlessly global functions static - kyro/STG4000Interface.h: #include video/kyro.h and linux/pci.h instead of a manual "struct pci_dev" - i810_main.{c,h}: prototypes for static functions belong to the C file Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

2005-11-07[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.
