[kbd] [patchv2 0/3] VT: Support >32x32 fonts for hidpi displays

[Samuel Thibault]

Hello,

This patch series adds to Linux and kbd the support for fonts larger than 32x32
by dropping the oldish VGA constraints that don't apply to fb-based consoles.

Samuel

[kbd] [patchv2 1/3] VT: Add height parameter to con_font_get/set consw operations

[Samuel Thibault]

The current con_font_get/set API currently hardcodes a 32-pixel-tall
limitation, which only dates from the old VGA hardware which could not
handle taller fonts than that.

This change just adds a vpitch parameter to release this
constraint. Drivers which do not support vpitch != 32 can just return
EINVAL when it is not 32, font loading tools will revert to trying 32
and succeed.

This change makes the fbcon driver consider vpitch appropriately, thus
making it able to load large fonts.

[kbd] [patchv2 2/3] VT: Add KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations

[Samuel Thibault]

The KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET operations hardcode vpitch to be 32 pixels,
which only dates from the old VGA hardware which as asserting this.

Drivers such as fbcon however do not have such limitation, so this
introduces KD_FONT_OP_SET/GET_TALL operations, which userland can try
to use to avoid this limitation, thus opening the patch to >32 pixels
font height.

[kbd] [patchv2 3/3] VT: Bump font size limitation to 64x128 pixels

[Samuel Thibault]

This moves 32x32 font size limitation checking down to drivers, so that
fbcon can allow large fonts.

We still keep a limitation to 64x128 pixels so as to have a simple bounded
allocation for con_font_get and in the userland kbd tool. That glyph size
will however be enough to have 128x36 characters on a "16/9 8K display".

The new KD_FONT_OP_GET/SET_TALL font operations allow to load fonts taller
than 32 pixels by dropping the VGA-specific vertical pitch limitation.

The new maximum font size has thus been raised to 64x128.

We however continue using the older font operations for smaller fonts, to
continue supporting older kernels.

As a suggestion that you can safely ignore. Maybe make max_font_glyphs a
sysctl parameter to be able to use larger fonts ?

I get requests from time to time in kbd that it is not possible to load a
larger font.

64KiB was really low, while the theoretically possible max was
32*32*512 = 512KB, so I understand there used to be such requests :)

Here, by setting the max to 64x128*512, I don't think we'll need more.
Even with a 8K screen (will such really exist and want a text console?)
the max 64x128 gets 128 characters on a single line, for soemthing like
36 lines. So I guess it's not worth adding yet another sysctl :)

I was not talking about the size of one glyph, but about the number of
glyphs in the font. Right now the font cannot have more than 512 glyphs.

That one is unfortunately *very* hardcoded in the VT code, since it's
the very representation of the console text in vc_screenbuf which is set
to the VGA-based 16bits per glyph, with a 8+8 or 9+7 separation between
glyph number and color number. Lifting that would be way more involved.

Yeah, but I thought that since someone decided to touch this old code,
then this someone will improve this old limit :)

Hm. But max_font_height is 128. Shouldn't it be height > 128 ?
