This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled efi/earlycon: Remap entire framebuffer after page initialization to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: efi-earlycon-remap-entire-framebuffer-after-page-ini.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e6d5a8917a10483a734096fa45fb99da52fe503d Author: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 6 16:55:42 2019 +0000 efi/earlycon: Remap entire framebuffer after page initialization [ Upstream commit b418d660bb9798d2249ac6a46c844389ef50b6a5 ] When commit: 69c1f396f25b ("efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation") moved the x86 specific EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location, it also tweaked the behaviour. In particular, it dropped a trick with full framebuffer remapping after page initialization, leading to two regressions: 1) very slow scrolling after page initialization, 2) kernel hang when the 'keep_bootcon' command line argument is passed. Putting the tweak back fixes #2 and mitigates #1, i.e., it limits the slow behavior to the early boot stages, presumably due to eliminating heavy map()/unmap() operations per each pixel line on the screen.
