Move the sysrq functionality from DRM fbdev helpers to the DRM device and in-kernel clients, so that it becomes available on all clients. DRM fbdev helpers support emergency restoration of the console output via a special key combination. Press SysRq+v to replace the current compositor with the kernel's output on the framebuffer console. This allows users to see the log messages during system emergencies. By moving the functionality from fbdev helpers to the DRM device, any in-kernel client can serve as emergency output. This can be used to bring up drm_log, for example. Each DRM device registers itself to the list of possible sysrq handlers. On receiving SysRq+v, the DRM core goes over all registered devices and restores an in-kernel DRM client for each of them. See Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst on how to invoke SysRq. Switch VTs to bring back the user-space compositor. v2: - declare placeholders as 'static inline' (kernel test robot) - fix grammar in commit description Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@redhat.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251110154616.539328-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
