2008-04-30Basic braille screen reader supportSamuel Thibault
This adds a minimalistic braille screen reader support. This is meant to be used by blind people e.g. on boot failures or when / cannot be mounted etc and thus the userland screen readers can not work.

2007-10-17unicode diacritics supportSamuel Thibault
There have been issues with non-latin1 diacritics and unicode. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7746 Git 759448f459234bfcf34b82471f0dba77a9aca498 `Kernel utf-8 handling' partly resolved it by adding conversion between diacritics and unicode. The patch below goes further by just turning diacritics into unicode, hence providing better future support. The kbd support can be fetched from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=12313 This was tested in all of latin1, latin9, latin2 and unicode with french and czech dead keys. Turn the kernel accent_table into unicode, and extend ioctls KDGKBDIACR and KDSKBDIACR into their equivalents KDGKBDIACRUC and KDSKBDIACR. New function int conv_uni_to_8bit(u32 uni) for converting unicode into 8bit _input_. No, we don't want to store the translation, as it is potentially sparse and large.

2007-05-08console UTF-8 fixesEgmont Koblinger
The UTF-8 part of the vt driver suffers from the following issues which are addressed in my patch: 1) If there's no glyph found for a particular valid UTF-8 character, we try to display U+FFFD. However if this one is not found either, here's what the current kernel does: - First, if the Unicode value is less than the number of glyphs, use the glyph directly from that position of the glyph table. While it may be a good idea in the 8-bit world, it has absolutely no sense with Unicode in mind. For example, if a Latin-2 font is loaded and an application prints U+00FB ("u with circumflex", not present in Latin-2) then as a fallback solution the glyph from the 0xFB position of the Latin-2 fontset (which is an "u with double accent" - a different character) is displayed. - Second, if this fallback fails too, a simple ASCII question mark is printed, which is visually undistinguishable from a real question mark. I changed the code to skip the first step (except if in non-UTF-8 mode), and changed the second step to print the question mark with inverse color attributes, so it is visually clear that it's not a real question mark, and resembles more to the common glyph of U+FFFD. 2) The UTF-8 decoder is buggy in many ways: - Lone continuation bytes (section 3.1 of Markus Kuhn's UTF-8 stress test) are not caught, they are displayed as some "random" (taken directly form the font table, see above) glyphs instead the replacement character. - Incomplete sequences (sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the stress test) emit no replacement character, but rather cause the subsequent valid character to be displayed more times(!). - The decoder is not safe: overlong sequences are not caught currently, they are displayed as if these were valid representations. This may even have security impacts. - The decoder does not handle D800..DFFF and FFFE..FFFF specially, it just emits these code points and lets it be looked up in the glyph table. Since these are invalid code points, I replace them by U+FFFD and hence give no chance for them to be looked up in the glyph table. (Assuming no font ships glyphs for these code points, this change is not visible to the users since the glyph shown will be the same.) With my fixes to the decoder it now behaves exactly as Markus Kuhn's stress test recommends. 3) It has no concept of double-width (CJK) characters. It's way beyond the scope of my patch to try to display them, but at least I think it's important for the cursor to jump two positions when printing such characters, since this is what applications (such as text editors) expect. Currently the cursor only jumps one position, and hence applications suffer from displaying and refreshing problems, and editing some English letters that are preceded by some CJK characters in the same line is a nightmare. With my patch an additional space is inserted after the CJK character has been printed (which usually means a replacement symbol of course). (If U+FFFD isn't availble and hence an inverse question mark is displayed in the first cell, I keep the inverted state for the space in the 2nd column so it's quite easy to see that they are tied together.) 4) There is a small built-in table of zero-width spaces that are not to be printed but silently skipped. U+200A is included there, but it's not a zero-width character, so I remove it from there.

2006-12-13[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() callsRobert P. J. Day
Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
