[PATCH v3 2/4] drm/log: Introduce a new boot logger to draw the kmsg on the screen

From: Jocelyn Falempe
Date: Tue Sep 10 2024 - 03:08:56 EST


drm_log is a simple logger that uses the drm_client API to print the
kmsg boot log on the screen. This is not a full replacement to fbcon,
as it will only print the kmsg. It will never handle user input, or a
terminal because this is better done in userspace.

Design decisions:
* It uses the drm_client API, so it should work on all drm drivers
from the start.
* It doesn't scroll the message, that way it doesn't need to redraw
the whole screen for each new message.
It also means it doesn't have to keep drawn messages in memory, to
redraw them when scrolling.
* It uses the new non-blocking console API, so it should work well
with PREEMPT_RT.
* drm_log can only be built-in (and drm must be built-in too).
The reason is that, if you build it as a module, then a userspace
application will be more appropriate than this module.

v2:
* Use vmap_local() api, with that change, I've tested it successfully on simpledrm, virtio-gpu, amdgpu, and nouveau.
* Stop drawing when the drm_master is taken. This avoid wasting CPU cycle if the buffer is not visible.
* Use deferred probe. Only do the probe the first time there is a log to draw. With this, if you boot with quiet, drm_log won't do any modeset.
* Add color support for the timestamp prefix, like what dmesg does.
* Add build dependency on disabling the fbdev emulation, as they are both drm_client, and there is no way to choose which one gets the focus.

v3:
* Remove the work thread and circular buffer, and use the new write_thread() console API.
* Register a console for each drm driver.
