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 a circular buffer so the console->write() callback is very quick, and will never stall.
 * Drawing is done asynchronously using a workqueue.
 * 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.

For CON_NBCON, neither of the above points are necessary. You can draw
directly from the write_thread() callback. See below:

For CON_NBCON, this is essentially your write_thread() callback:

void drm_log_write_thread(struct console *con,
			  struct nbcon_write_context *wctxt)
{
	drm_log_draw_all(wctxt->outbuf, wctxt->len);
}

You cannot implement a write_atomic() callback because the console must
be able to print directly in NMI context and must not defer. But
write_atomic() is optional, so you should be fine there.

Disclaimer: Only in PREEMPT_RT patchset at the moment.

Thanks, so that means the circular buffer and workqueue are only 
necessary until write_thread() is merged in mainline. It will be a nice 
simplification.
I think I can also register one console for each drm driver, which will 
simplify drm_log even further. (currently it would mean having a 
circular buffer and work function for each driver which is a bit too much).
Do you know if there is a chance to have write_thread() in 6.12 or 6.13 ?

Indeed.

Sorry, I have no crystal ball. Petr Mladek and I are working really hard
to get things in shape for mainline. I do think there is a chance for
the 6.12 merge window. But it would also need to get past Linus. Our
recent atomic console efforts were rejected [0] for the 6.11 merge
window. We are working to get that series in shape for 6.12 in parallel.

FYI: The full NBCON API (with write_thread()) is now available in
linux-next.

It would be great to see a version of drm_log that only implements
write_thread() and does not do any of its own buffering with workqueue
and also does not need to track multiple graphic loggers at the same
time.

Thanks for the head-up.
I will rebase it on top of Linux-next, and adapt to the new 
write_thread() API, it should be much simpler.


I also need to adapt to the drm client rework 
(https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/137391/) so that it will be 
possible to choose on kernel command line between drm_log and fbdev 
emulation/fbcon.

For drm_log, your write_atomic() callback should be NULL. You only need
to implement the write_thead(), device_lock(), and device_unlock()
callbacks.

Your device_lock()/device_unlock() callbacks probably just need to
lock/unlock your mutex @drm_log_lock.

device_lock() is already called when the write_thread() callback is
called. So your write_thread callback really only needs to call your
drm_log_draw_kmsg_record(&dclient->scanout, wctxt->outbuf, wctxt->len).

Please let me know if you run into any issues. We probably should write
a document "HOWTO write an NBCON console driver".

Sorry, forgot to mention that the device_lock() callback must also
disable migration. Since you are using a mutex, you will need to
manually do that as well...

mutex_lock(&drm_log_lock);
migrate_disable();

Thanks a lot, I've done most of the conversion, and it's already working 
great. I will send a new series next week.
