ldlinux: Convert all UsingVGA uses with display_mask_vga()

2013-01-25T14:31:35+00:00

Introduce display_mask_vga() which does the necessary converting of
UsingVGA into a mask to be AND'd with DisplayMask.

Also, apply TextAttribute when clearing the screen after we've seen a
form feed.

elflink: Set PATH to the directory containing ldlinux.c32

2013-01-25T11:19:02+00:00

On ISOLINUX and PXELINUX, CurrentDirName doesn't contain anything
useful when we enter load_env32(). commit 10bb72d1528b ("PATH: Use
installation directory for 'PATH'") didn't handle the case where we
don't have an installation path, or don't find ldlinux.c32 there. If
we find ldlinux.c32 in one of 'search_directories' use that directory
as the PATH string.

ldlinux: Fix serial output and delete eprintf()

2013-01-24T17:22:45+00:00

Tagging __syslinux_get_serial_info() with __constructor is pretty
useless when the global variables it uses, such as SerialPort, etc,
are assigned *after* the constructor has run. This constructor made
sense when config parsing was done by the core, but parsing is now
performed by ldlinux. We need to explicitly invoke the function to
initialise __syslinux_serial_console_info once we've parsed any config
files.

eprintf.c was introduced in commit 086d698c642f ("ldlinux: Add
eprintf() to print to VGA and serial") because printf() output wasn't
appearing on the serial console. It turns out that the above
__constructor confusion was the real bug.

ldlinux: Don't update UsingVGA when we just want the value

2013-01-24T17:22:45+00:00

There was a bug introduced when this code was copied from the old 4.x
assembly implementation, we don't need to update UsingVGA everytime we
read a character, we only need its value when comparing it against the
DisplayMask.

This bug caused every other character to be displayed when only
writing to the text console, as well as other nasties such as making
syslinux_force_text_mode() think it's in VGA mode even when it's in
text mode.

ldlinux: Dynamically allocate cmdline buffer to avoid overflow

2013-01-24T17:22:45+00:00

Also, because we no longer pass the allocated buffer to __intcall()
and friends we can use malloc() instead of lmalloc(), leaving precious
low memory for other users.

ldlinux: Clear screen on ASCII 12 (form feed) in DISPLAY file

2013-01-24T11:09:27+00:00

The ansi code won't handle \f the way we want, so we need to
explicitly clear the screen and reset the cursor position, like the
old 4.x code.
