Merge tag 'docs-4.10' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet: "These are the documentation changes for 4.10. It's another busy cycle for the docs tree, as the sphinx conversion continues. Highlights include: - Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but should be more solid now. - Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx. Only 27 to go... Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and integrated. - Images in binary formats have been replaced with more source-friendly versions. - Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of various files discussed at the kernel summit. - New documentation for the device_link mechanism. ... and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates" * tag 'docs-4.10' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (193 commits) dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst Update Documentation/00-INDEX docs: 00-INDEX: document directories/files with no docs docs: 00-INDEX: remove non-existing entries docs: 00-INDEX: add missing entries for documentation files/dirs docs: 00-INDEX: consolidate process/ and admin-guide/ description scripts: add a script to check if Documentation/00-INDEX is sane Docs: change sh -> awk in REPORTING-BUGS Documentation/core-api/device_link: Add initial documentation core-api: remove an unexpected unident ppc/idle: Add documentation for powersave=off Doc: Correct typo, "Introdution" => "Introduction" Documentation/atomic_ops.txt: convert to ReST markup Documentation/local_ops.txt: convert to ReST markup Documentation/assoc_array.txt: convert to ReST markup docs-rst: parse-headers.pl: cleanup the documentation docs-rst: fix media cleandocs target docs-rst: media/Makefile: reorganize the rules docs-rst: media: build SVG from graphviz files docs-rst: replace bayer.png by a SVG image ...

-Software cursor for VGA by Pavel Machek <pavel@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>
-======================= and Martin Mares <mj@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>
-
- Linux now has some ability to manipulate cursor appearance. Normally, you
-can set the size of hardware cursor (and also work around some ugly bugs in
-those miserable Trident cards--see #define TRIDENT_GLITCH in drivers/video/
-vgacon.c). You can now play a few new tricks: you can make your cursor look
-like a non-blinking red block, make it inverse background of the character it's
-over or to highlight that character and still choose whether the original
-hardware cursor should remain visible or not. There may be other things I have
-never thought of.
-
- The cursor appearance is controlled by a "<ESC>[?1;2;3c" escape sequence
-where 1, 2 and 3 are parameters described below. If you omit any of them,
-they will default to zeroes.
-
- Parameter 1 specifies cursor size (0=default, 1=invisible, 2=underline, ...,
-8=full block) + 16 if you want the software cursor to be applied + 32 if you
-want to always change the background color + 64 if you dislike having the
-background the same as the foreground. Highlights are ignored for the last two
-flags.
-
- The second parameter selects character attribute bits you want to change
-(by simply XORing them with the value of this parameter). On standard VGA,
-the high four bits specify background and the low four the foreground. In both
-groups, low three bits set color (as in normal color codes used by the console)
-and the most significant one turns on highlight (or sometimes blinking--it
-depends on the configuration of your VGA).
-
- The third parameter consists of character attribute bits you want to set.
-Bit setting takes place before bit toggling, so you can simply clear a bit by
-including it in both the set mask and the toggle mask.
-
-Examples:
-=========
-
-To get normal blinking underline, use: echo -e '\033[?2c'
-To get blinking block, use: echo -e '\033[?6c'
-To get red non-blinking block, use: echo -e '\033[?17;0;64c'
