Currently the scroll copies the full screen which is slow on the hi-resolution displays. At the same time most of the screen is an empty space which has no need to be copied over and over. Optimize the scrolling algorithm by caching the x coordinates of the last printed lines and scroll in accordance with the maximum x in that cache. On my Microsoft Surface Book (the first version) this produces a significant speedup of the console 90 seconds vs. 168 seconds with the kernel command line having ignore_loglevel earlycon=efifb keep_bootcon Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> --- drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
