Subject: fix: implement VGA text-mode scrolling instead of wrap-to-row-0
X-Git-Url: https://projects.tadryanom.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=127f2ac2fefdb1f4bf1a103013e91db5f29f0529;p=AdrOS.git

fix: implement VGA text-mode scrolling instead of wrap-to-row-0

When the cursor reached the bottom of the 25-row VGA text buffer,
term_row was reset to 0, overwriting the top of the screen. This
made boot output unreadable once it exceeded 25 lines.

Add vga_scroll() that shifts all rows up by one and clears the
last row. Called from both vga_put_char and vga_print.

Passes: make, cppcheck, QEMU smoke test.
