framebuffer: fix cfb_copyarea The function cfb_copyarea is buggy when the copy operation is not aligned on long boundary (4 bytes on 32-bit machines, 8 bytes on 64-bit machines). How to reproduce: - use x86-64 machine - use a framebuffer driver without acceleration (for example uvesafb) - set the framebuffer to 8-bit depth (for example fbset -a 1024x768-60 -depth 8) - load a font with character width that is not a multiple of 8 pixels note: the console-tools package cannot load a font that has width different from 8 pixels. You need to install the packages "kbd" and "console-terminus" and use the program "setfont" to set font width (for example: setfont Uni2-Terminus20x10) - move some text left and right on the bash command line and you get a screen corruption To expose more bugs, put this line to the end of uvesafb_init_info: info->flags |= FBINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA | FBINFO_READS_FAST; - Now framebuffer console will use cfb_copyarea for console scrolling. You get a screen corruption when console is scrolled. This patch is a rewrite of cfb_copyarea. It fixes the bugs, with this patch, console scrolling in 8-bit depth with a font width that is not a multiple of 8 pixels works fine. The cfb_copyarea code was very buggy and it looks like it was written and never tried with non-8-pixel font.
