4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit bfd8d8fe98b8792f362cd210a7873969f8d2fc04 upstream.
When CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK is selected, the VGA display memory
index and vc_visible_origin don't change when scrollback is activated.
The actual screen content is saved away and the scrollbackdata is copied
over it. However the vt code, and /dev/vcs devices in particular, still
expect vc_origin to always point at the actual screen content not the
displayed scrollback content.
So adjust vc_origin to point at the saved screen content when scrollback
is active and set it back to vc_visible_origin when restoring the screen.
This fixes /dev/vcsa<n> that return scrollback content when they
shouldn't (onli /dev/vcsa without a number should), and also fixes
/dev/vcsu that should return scrollback content when scrollback is
active but currently doesn't.
An unnecessary call to vga_set_mem_top() is also removed.
