Subject: tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
commit be0d5f02c9194fe41c1aad11d7282db117bda938
Author: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>
Date: Tue Nov 9 18:53:59 2010 +0100
tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device
Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console.
The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog
to the console= kernel command line option.
The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual
console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.
