    compat_ioctl: Supress "unknown cmd" message on serial /dev/console · 3f001711
    Atsushi Nemoto authored
    After the commit fb07a5f8
    
     ("compat_ioctl: remove all VT ioctl
    handling"), I got this error message on 64-bit mips kernel with 32-bit
    busybox userland:
    
    ioctl32(init:1): Unknown cmd fd(0) cmd(00005600){t:'V';sz:0} arg(7fd76480) on /dev/console
    
    The cmd 5600 is VT_OPENQRY.  The busybox's init issues this ioctl to
    know vt-console or serial-console.  If the console was serial console,
    VT ioctls are not handled by the serial driver.
    
    And by quick search, I found some programs using VT_GETMODE to check
    vt-console is available or not.
