mdacon: rework dependency list

mdacon has roughly the same dependencies as vgacon but expresses them
as a negative list instead of a positive list, with the only practical
difference being PowerPC/CHRP, which uses vga16fb instead of vgacon.

The CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE description advises to only turn it on when vgacon
is also used because MDA/Hercules-only systems should be using vgacon
instead, so just change the list to enforce that directly for simplicity.

The probing was broken from 2002 to 2008, this improves on the fix
that was added then: If vgacon is a loadable module, then mdacon
cannot be built-in now, and the list of systems that support vgacon
is carried over.

dummycon: limit Arm console size hack to footbridge

The dummycon default console size used to be determined by architecture,
but now this is a Kconfig setting on everything except ARM. Tracing this
back in the historic git trees, this was used to match the size of VGA
console or VGA framebuffer on early machines, but nowadays that code is
no longer used, except probably on the old footbridge/netwinder since
that is the only one that supports vgacon.

On machines with a framebuffer, booting with DT so far results in always
using the hardcoded 80x30 size in dummycon, while on ATAGS the setting
can come from a bootloader specific override. Both seem to be worse
choices than the Kconfig setting, since the actual text size for fbcon
also depends on the selected font.

Make this work the same way as everywhere else and use the normal
Kconfig setting, except for the footbridge with vgacon, which keeps
using the traditional code. If vgacon is disabled, footbridge can
also ignore the setting. This means the screen_info only has to be
provided when either vgacon or EFI are enabled now.

To limit the amount of surprises on Arm, change the Kconfig default
to the previously used 80x30 setting instead of the usual 80x25.

vgacon: rework Kconfig dependencies

The list of dependencies here is phrased as an opt-out, but this is missing
a lot of architectures that don't actually support VGA consoles, and some
of the entries are stale:

- powerpc used to support VGA consoles in the old arch/ppc codebase, but
the merged arch/powerpc never did

- arm lists footbridge, integrator and netwinder, but netwinder is actually
part of footbridge, and integrator does not appear to have an actual
VGA hardware, or list it in its ATAG or DT.

- mips has a few platforms (malta, sibyte, and sni) that initialize
screen_info, on everything else the console is selected but cannot
actually work.

- csky, hexgagon, loongarch, nios2, riscv and xtensa are not listed
in the opt-out table and declare a screen_info to allow building
vga_con, but this cannot work because the console is never selected.

Replace this with an opt-in table that lists only the platforms that
remain. This is effectively x86, plus a couple of historic workstation
and server machines that reused parts of the x86 system architecture.

drm: fix up fbdev Kconfig defaults

As a result of the recent Kconfig reworks, the default settings for the
framebuffer interfaces changed in unexpected ways:

Configurations that leave CONFIG_FB disabled but use DRM now get
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION by default. This also turns on the deprecated /dev/fb
device nodes for machines that don't actually want it.

In turn, configurations that previously had DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION enabled
now only get the /dev/fb front-end but not the more useful framebuffer
console, which is not selected any more.

We had previously decided that any combination of the three frontends
(FB_DEVICE, FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and LOGO) should be selectable, but the
new default settings mean that a lot of defconfig files would have to
get adapted.

Change the defaults back to what they were in Linux 6.5:

- Leave DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION turned off unless CONFIG_FB
is enabled. Previously this was a hard dependency but now the two are
independent. However, configurations that enable CONFIG_FB probably
also want to keep the emulation for DRM, while those without FB
presumably did that intentionally in the past.

- Leave FB_DEVICE turned off for FB=n. Following the same
logic, the deprecated option should not automatically get enabled
here, most users that had FB turned off in the past do not want it,
even if they want the console

- Turn the FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE option on if
DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION is set to avoid having to change defconfig
files that relied on it being selected unconditionally in the past.
This also makes sense since both LOGO and FB_DEVICE are now disabled
by default for builds without CONFIG_FB, but DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION
would make no sense if all three are disabled.

fbdev: Split frame buffer support in FB and FB_CORE symbols

Currently the CONFIG_FB option has to be enabled even if no legacy fbdev
drivers are needed (e.g: only to have support for framebuffer consoles).

The DRM subsystem has a fbdev emulation layer, but depends on CONFIG_FB
and so it can only be enabled if that dependency is enabled as well.

That means fbdev drivers have to be explicitly disabled if users want to
enable CONFIG_FB, only to use fbcon and/or the DRM fbdev emulation layer.

This patch introduces a non-visible CONFIG_FB_CORE symbol that could be
enabled just to have core support needed for CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION,
allowing CONFIG_FB to be disabled (and automatically disabling all the
fbdev drivers).

Nothing from fb_backlight.o and fbmon.o is used by the DRM fbdev emulation
layer so these two objects can be compiled out when CONFIG_FB is disabled.

Implement DRM's aperture helpers under video/ for sharing with other
sub-systems. Remove DRM-isms from the interface. The helpers track
the ownership of framebuffer apertures and provide hand-over from
firmware, such as EFI and VESA, to native graphics drivers.

Other subsystems, such as fbdev and vfio, also have to maintain ownership
of framebuffer apertures. Moving DRM's aperture helpers to a more public
location allows all subsystems to interact with each other and share a
common implementation.

The aperture helpers are selected by the various firmware drivers within
DRM and fbdev, and the VGA text-console driver.

The original DRM interface is kept in place for use by DRM drivers.

nds32: Remove the architecture

The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.

As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.

While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

fbcon: Add option to enable legacy hardware acceleration

Add a config option CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_LEGACY_ACCELERATION to
enable bitblt and fillrect hardware acceleration in the framebuffer
console. If disabled, such acceleration will not be used, even if it is
supported by the graphics hardware driver.

If you plan to use DRM as your main graphics output system, you should
disable this option since it will prevent compiling in code which isn't
used later on when DRM takes over.

For all other configurations, e.g. if none of your graphic cards support
DRM (yet), DRM isn't available for your architecture, or you can't be
sure that the graphic card in the target system will support DRM, you
most likely want to enable this option.

In the non-accelerated case (e.g. when DRM is used), the inlined
fb_scrollmode() function is hardcoded to return SCROLL_REDRAW and as such the
compiler is able to optimize much unneccesary code away.

In this v3 patch version I additionally changed the GETVYRES() and GETVXRES()
macros to take a pointer to the fbcon_display struct. This fixes the build when
console rotation is enabled and helps the compiler again to optimize out code.

vgacon: remove software scrollback support

Yunhai Zhang recently fixed a VGA software scrollback bug in commit
ebfdfeeae8c0 ("vgacon: Fix for missing check in scrollback handling"),
but that then made people look more closely at some of this code, and
there were more problems on the vgacon side, but also the fbcon software
scrollback.

We don't really have anybody who maintains this code - probably because
nobody actually _uses_ it any more. Sure, people still use both VGA and
the framebuffer consoles, but they are no longer the main user
interfaces to the kernel, and haven't been for decades, so these kinds
of extra features end up bitrotting and not really being used.

So rather than try to maintain a likely unused set of code, I'll just
aggressively remove it, and see if anybody even notices. Maybe there
are people who haven't jumped on the whole GUI badnwagon yet, and think
it's just a fad. And maybe those people use the scrollback code.

If that turns out to be the case, we can resurrect this again, once
we've found the sucker^Wmaintainer for it who actually uses it.

Since commit [1] consolidated console configuration in
drivers/video/console, DUMMY_CONSOLE has always been enabled, since the
dependency is always satisfied.

There is no point in trying to allow it to be configured out, since
(a) it's tiny, and (b) if VT_CONSOLE is enabled, we must have a working
console driver by the time con_init(vt.c) runs, and only dummycon is
guaranteed to work (vgacon may be configured in, but that doesn't mean
we have a VGA device).

So just remove the fake dependency.

console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover

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.

Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver,
rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after
2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon
code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only
feasible option.

s390/setup : enable display support for KVM guest

The S390 architecture does not support any graphics hardware,
but with the latest support for Virtio GPU in Linux and Virtio
GPU emulation in QEMU, it's possible to enable graphics for
S390 using the Virtio GPU device.

To enable display we need to enable the Linux Virtual Terminal (VT)
layer for S390. But the VT subsystem initializes quite early
at boot so we need a dummy console driver till the Virtio GPU
driver is initialized and we can run the framebuffer console.

The framebuffer console over a Virtio GPU device can be run
in combination with the serial SCLP console (default on S390).
The SCLP console can still be accessed by management applications
(eg: via Libvirt's virsh console).

s390/setup: enable display support for KVM guest

The S390 architecture does not support any graphics hardware,
but with the latest support for Virtio GPU in Linux and Virtio
GPU emulation in QEMU, it's possible to enable graphics for
S390 using the Virtio GPU device.

To enable display we need to enable the Linux Virtual Terminal (VT)
layer for S390. But the VT subsystem initializes quite early
at boot so we need a dummy console driver till the Virtio GPU
driver is initialized and we can run the framebuffer console.

The framebuffer console over a Virtio GPU device can be run
in combination with the serial SCLP console (default on S390).
The SCLP console can still be accessed by management applications
(eg: via Libvirt's virsh console).
