Subject: PROBLEM: kbd busted in linux 6.10-rc1 (regression)
Hi,
It seems kbd utilities are all broken on linux 6.10-rc1. For example:
# loadkeys en-latin9
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console.
[and it did not change the console keymap]
This is a regression from linux 6.9. If I run strace on a working
kernel, at the point of the first difference we see:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/tty0", O_RDWR) = 3
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {c_iflag=BRKINT|ICRNL|IXON|IMAXBEL|IUTF8, c_oflag=NL0|CR0|TAB0|BS0|VT0|FF0|OPOST|ONLCR, c_cflag=B38400|CS8|CREAD|HUPCL, c_lflag=, ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, KDGKBTYPE, [KB_101]) = 0
...
On a busted kernel, we get:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/tty0", O_RDWR) = 3
ioctl(3, TCGETS, {c_iflag=IUTF8, c_oflag=NL0|CR0|TAB0|BS0|VT0|FF0|OPOST|ONLCR, c_cflag=B38400|CS8|CREAD|HUPCL, c_lflag=, ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, KDGKBTYPE, 0xffceaebb) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
close(3) = 0
...
A very similar problem occurs with kbd_mode, chvt, etc.
Bisection implicates the following:

VT: Use macros to define ioctls
All other headers use _IOC() macros to describe ioctls for a long time
now. This header is stuck in the last century.
Simply use the _IO() macro. No other changes.

Reverting this commit corrects the issue.
This testing was done on my sparc system in case it matters.
Let me know if you need any more info!
Thanks,
Nick
