Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] vgacon: Use vt_cursor_{start,end}()
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:29:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915123304.1027277-4-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915123304.1027277-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>

Replace vgacon's custom cursor metrics with the shared helpers
vc_cursor_start() and vc_font_cursor_end(). Note that the _end()
function returns the index of the scanline below the cursor, while
VGA hardware expects the cursor's final scanline. Hence vgacon
subtracts 1 from the end value.

The cursor shapes remain mostly unchanged, except that non-underline
cursors now also use the glyph's top-most and bottom-most scanline.
This follows the style used by fbcon.

v2:
- restore use of vc_cell_height (Sashiko)
