This introduces a new drm panic handler, which displays a message when a panic occurs. So when fbcon is disabled, you can still see a kernel panic. This is one of the missing feature, when disabling VT/fbcon in the kernel: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/10eccv9/config_vtn_in_2023/ Fbcon can be replaced by a userspace kms console, but the panic screen must be done in the kernel. This is a proof of concept, and works with simpledrm and mgag200, using a new get_scanout_buffer() api To test it, make sure you're using the simpledrm driver, and trigger a panic: echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger v2: * Use get_scanout_buffer() instead of the drm client API. (Thomas Zimmermann) * Add the panic reason to the panic message (Nerdopolis) * Add an exclamation mark (Nerdopolis) v3: * Rework the drawing functions, to write the pixels line by line and to use the drm conversion helper to support other formats. (Thomas Zimmermann) v4: * Fully support all simpledrm formats using drm conversion helpers * Rename dpanic_* to drm_panic_*, and have more coherent function name. (Thomas Zimmermann) * Use drm_fb_r1_to_32bit for fonts (Thomas Zimmermann) * Remove the default y to DRM_PANIC config option (Thomas Zimmermann) * Add foreground/background color config option * Fix the bottom lines not painted if the framebuffer height is not a multiple of the font height. * Automatically register the driver to drm_panic, if the function get_scanout_buffer() exists. (Thomas Zimmermann) * Add mgag200 support. v5: * Change the drawing API, use drm_fb_blit_from_r1() to draw the font. (Thomas Zimmermann) * Also add drm_fb_fill() to fill area with background color. * Add draw_pixel_xy() API for drivers that can't provide a linear buffer. * Add a flush() callback for drivers that needs to synchronize the buffer. * Add a void *private field, so drivers can pass private data to draw_pixel_xy() and flush(). * Add ast support. * Add experimental imx/ipuv3 support, to test on an ARM hw. (Maxime Ripard) With mgag200 support, I was able to test that the xrgb8888 to rgb565 conversion is working. IMX/IPUV3 support is not complete, I wasn't able to have etnaviv working on my board. But it shows that it can still work on ARM with DMA buffer in this case.
