[PATCH 3/3] drm/client: log: Implement struct drm_client_funcs.restore

Thomas Zimmermann

Restore the log client's output when the DRM core invokes the restore
callback. Follow the existing behavior of fbdev emulation wrt. the
value of the force parameter.

If force is false, acquire the DRM master lock and reprogram the
display. This is the case when the user-space compositor exists and
the DRM core transfers the display back to the in-kernel client. This
also enables log output during reboots.

If force is true, reprogram without considering the master lock. This
overrides the current compositor and prints the log to the screen. In
case of system malfunction, users can enter SysRq+v to invoke the
emergency error reporting. See Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst for
more information.
