2014-04-17video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdevTomi Valkeinen
The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev device drivers, fbdev framework files. Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev directory, and move all fbdev related files there. No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this patch.

2014-03-07fbdev: vesafb: add dev->remove() callbackDavid Herrmann
If x86-sysfb platform-devices are removed from a system, we should properly unload vesafb. Otherwise, we end up releasing the parent while our vesa framebuffer is still running. This currently works just fine, but will cause problems on handover to real hw. So add the ->remove() callback and unregister vesafb.

2011-03-22uvesafb,vesafb: create WC or WB PAT-entriesThomas Schlichter
with an PAT-enabled kernel, when using uvesafb or vesafb, these drivers will create uncached-minus PAT entries for the framebuffer memory because they use ioremap() (not the *_cache or *_wc variants). When the framebuffer memory intersects with the video RAM used by Xorg, the complete video RAM will be mapped uncached-minus what results in a serve performance penalty. Here are the correct MTRR entries created by uvesafb: schlicht@netbook:~$ cat /proc/mtrr reg00: base=0x000000000 ( 0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back reg01: base=0x06ff00000 ( 1791MB), size= 1MB, count=1: uncachable reg02: base=0x070000000 ( 1792MB), size= 256MB, count=1: uncachable reg03: base=0x0d0000000 ( 3328MB), size= 16MB, count=1: write-combining And here are the problematic PAT entries: schlicht@netbook:~$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pat_memtype_list PAT memtype list: write-back @ 0x0-0x1000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fedd000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee3000-0x6fee4000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee3000-0x6fee4000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee3000-0x6fee4000 uncached-minus @ 0xd0000000-0xe0000000 <-- created by xserver-xorg uncached-minus @ 0xd0000000-0xd1194000 <-- created by uvesafb uncached-minus @ 0xf4000000-0xf4009000 uncached-minus @ 0xf4200000-0xf4400000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5000000-0xf5010000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5100000-0xf5104000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5400000-0xf5404000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5404000-0xf5405000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5404000-0xf5405000 uncached-minus @ 0xfed00000-0xfed01000 Therefore I created the attached patch for uvesafb which uses ioremap_wc() to create the correct PAT entries, as shown below: schlicht@netbook:~$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pat_memtype_list PAT memtype list: write-back @ 0x0-0x1000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fedd000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee2000-0x6fee3000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee3000-0x6fee4000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee3000-0x6fee4000 uncached-minus @ 0x6fee3000-0x6fee4000 write-combining @ 0xd0000000-0xe0000000 write-combining @ 0xd0000000-0xd1194000 uncached-minus @ 0xf4000000-0xf4009000 uncached-minus @ 0xf4200000-0xf4400000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5000000-0xf5010000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5100000-0xf5104000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5400000-0xf5404000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5404000-0xf5405000 uncached-minus @ 0xf5404000-0xf5405000 uncached-minus @ 0xfed00000-0xfed01000 This results in a performance gain, objectively measurable with e.g. x11perf -comppixwin10 -comppixwin100 -comppixwin500: 1: x11perf_xaa.log 2: x11perf_xaa_patched.log 1 2 Operation -------- ---------------- ----------------- 124000.0 202000.0 ( 1.63) Composite 10x10 from pixmap to window 3340.0 24400.0 ( 7.31) Composite 100x100 from pixmap to window 131.0 1150.0 ( 8.78) Composite 500x500 from pixmap to window You can see the serve performance gain when composing larger pixmaps to window. The patches replace the ioremap() function with the variant matching the mtrr- parameter. To create "write-back" PAT entries, the ioremap_cache() function must be called after creating the MTRR entries, and the ioremap_cache() region must completely fit into the MTRR region, this is why the MTRR region size is now rounded up to the next power-of-two.

2010-04-07vesafb: use platform_driver_probe() instead of platform_driver_register()Jan Beulich
Commit c2e13037e6794bd0d9de3f9ecabf5615f15c160b ("platform-drivers: move probe to .devinit.text in drivers/video") introduced a huge amount of section mismatch warnings in vesafb code. Rather than converting all of the annotations, do the obvious and revert the __init -> __devinit change, and use the recommended (in that patch) alternative to calling platform_driver_register(): vesafb depends on information obtained from by kernel at boot time, cannot be a module, and no post-boot devices can ever show up.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-07platform-drivers: move probe to .devinit.text in drivers/videoUwe Kleine-König
A pointer to a probe callback is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.

2009-06-16fbdev: add support for handoff from firmware to hw framebuffersDave Airlie
With KMS we have ran into an issue where we really want the KMS fb driver to be the one running the console, so panics etc can be shown by switching out of X etc. However with vesafb/efifb built-in, we end up with those on fb0 and the KMS fb driver on fb1, driving the same piece of hw, so this adds an fb info flag to denote a firmware fbdev, and adds a new aperture base/size range which can be compared when the hw drivers are installed to see if there is a conflict with a firmware driver, and if there is the firmware driver is unregistered and the hw driver takes over. It uses new aperture_base/size members instead of comparing on the fix smem_start/length, as smem_start/length might for example only cover the first 1MB of the PCI aperture, and we could allocate the kms fb from 8MB into the aperture, thus they would never overlap.

I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels." This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb. It works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop users.

2005-11-07[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.

When I hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video state is not fully restored..." vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and powerdown. The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking, and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

To eliminate the warning messages, you can add the option mtrr:2 to add a write-back mtrr for vesafb. Or just use nomtrr option. 1. Fix algorithm for finding the best power of 2 size with mtrr_add(). 2. Add option to choose the mtrr type by extending the mtrr boot option: mtrr:n where n 0 = no mtrr (equivalent to using the nomtrr option) 1 = uncachable 2 = write back 3 = write combining (default) 4 = write through Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-06-21[PATCH] some vesafb fixesGerd Knorr
Fix the size passed to release_mem_region in an error path. Also adjust the message printed when vesafb cannot load; the comment there already says this must not be fatal, so the message should also not mention the word 'abort' otherwise indicating a problem to worry about in the log.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
