commit 210a1ce8ed4391b64a888b3fb4b5611a13f5ccc7 upstream.
Move the cursor position rightward after rendering the character,
not before. This avoids complications that arise when the recursive
console_putc call has to wrap the line and/or scroll the display.
This also fixes the linewrap bug that crops off the rightmost column.
When the cursor is at the bottom of the display, a linefeed will not
move the cursor position further downward. Instead, the display scrolls
upward. Avoid the repeated add/subtract sequence by way of a single
subtraction at the initialization of console_struct_num_rows.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
