From 368c1e3249afe0e59097e7df664435ae55fb9f8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hendrik Brueckner Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:09:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] hvc_console: Escape magic sysrq key The ctrl-o (^O) is a common control key used by several applications, such as vim, but hvc_console uses ^O as the magic-sysrq key. This commit allows users to send ^O to applications by pressing ^O twice in succession. To implement this, this commit introduces a check if ^O is pressed again if the sysrq_pressed variable is already set. In this case, clear sysrq_pressed state and flip the ^O character to the tty. (The old behavior has always set "sysrq_pressed" if ^O has been entered, and it has not flipped the ^O character to the tty.)
