2012-02-10viafb: add auxiliary device management infrastructureFlorian Tobias Schandinat
This patch adds the basic infrastructure and a few stub drivers for devices that are connected via I2C busses. The infrastructure will be used to replace and extend the support that is scattered throughout viafb. The stub drivers are not very useful yet but they show how the infrastructure works, provide information about the chips integrated into a system and maybe gather some testers as it would be very difficult for a single person to get a sane test environment. The only thing this actually does is probing the I2C busses which will hopefully not cause any regressions. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat <FlorianSchandinat@gmx.de>

2011-03-27viafb: some small cleanup for global variablesFlorian Tobias Schandinat
We do not need viafb_second{,_virtual}_{xres,yres} outside of viafbdev.c so move them there and eliminate the virtual ones where the only sane usage is done during initalization. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat <FlorianSchandinat@gmx.de>
2011-03-22kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

2010-10-24viafb: make suspend and resume work (on all machines?)Florian Tobias Schandinat
This patch removes the dangerous suspend and resume code that was developed for VX855 only. After this the framebuffer is expected to cause no longer serious (freezing) issues on any machines. However the hardware acceleration is broken now so only doing resume with unaccelerated framebuffers is save. This did not work previously as the 2D engine is not mapped if the framebuffer is not accelerated. The acceleration issue will be addressed later.

2010-10-24Minimal support for viafb suspend/resumeDeepak Saxena
This patch adds minimal support for suspend/resume of the VIA framebuffer device. It requires a version of OFW that restores the video mode. This patch is OLPC-specific as the proper upstream solution is to move the VIA video path to using the kernel modesetting infrastructure and doing a proper save/restore in the kernel.

2010-09-24viafb: add interface for output device configurationFlorian Tobias Schandinat
This patch extends the proc entry to contain a possibility to view and change the output devices for each IGA. This is useful for debugging output problems as it provides a reliable way to query which low level devices are active after VIAs output device configuration nightmare happended. It's as well suitable for daily use as one can change the output configuration on the fly for example to connect a projector. At the moment it's still unstable. The reason is that we have to handle a bunch of undocumented output devices (those without a proper name) and that this patch is the first step to collect and verify the needed information. Basically the only configuration change that is expected to work at the moment is switching output devices between IGA1 and IGA2.

2010-09-24viafb: add new output device managementFlorian Tobias Schandinat
This patch adds a new output device management that stores for each IGA which output devices are routed to it and a compatiblity layer that converts the old per-output device values in the new format. Bounding the output devices to each IGA is a central idea of the cleanup. Doing it this way should be easier and make much more sense than the old format which happily mixed different output devices together and did not even take into account that some devices are no longer available on newer chipsets.

2010-05-07viafb: Separate global and fb-specific dataJonathan Corbet
This patch moves data of interest into a new viafb_dev structure which describes the device as a whole; the idea here is to create a separation between what all devices may need and what the framebuffer device in particular needs. I've also made some small steps toward thinning out the global.h mess.

2010-05-07viafb: Move core stuff into via-core.cJonathan Corbet
The first step toward turning viafb into a multifunction driver. This patch creates a new via-core.c file which serves as the main PCI driver; everything else comes below that.

2010-04-27viafb: rework the I2C support in the VIA framebuffer driverHarald Welte
This patch changes the way how the various I2C busses are used internally inside the viafb driver: Previosuly, only a single i2c_adapter was created, even though two different hardware I2C busses are accessed: A structure member in a global variable was modified to indicate the bus to be used. Now, all existing hardware busses are registered with the i2c core, and the viafb_i2c_{read,write}byte[s]() function take the adapter number as function call parameter, rather than referring to the global structure member.

2010-03-12viafb: split global index upFlorian Tobias Schandinat
This is the first step to remove an artificial global index that was used in two ways: 1. As a pseudo index in the mode table. Pseudo as you had to search through the table to find the referenced entry. This was replaced by using a pointer to the entry. 2. As a shortcut to compare a combination of horizontal and vertical resolution at the same time. This was replaced by a "(hres<<16) | vres" which is good enough for now and the near future. If vres or hres become greater than 2^16 this might indeed cause problems but this solution allows to split this indexing mess up without the requirement to do even more code changes. This is a big change that will allow more clean ups. It should be a bit faster but that is probably not relevant for normal operation. No regressions expected but as this is a relatively big step heavy testing is appreciated.

2009-09-23viafb: hardware acceleration initialization cleanupFlorian Tobias Schandinat
The main motivation of this patch was to merge the three initialization functions in one and clean it up. However as some changes in other code areas where needed to do it right some small other changes were made. Changes to viafb_par: io_virt renamed as engine_mmio and moved to shared VQ_start renamed as vq_vram_addr and moved to shared VQ_end removed as it is easily recalculatable vq_vram_addr is not strictly needed but keep it to track where we allocated video memory. The memory allocated for the virtual queue was shrunk to VQ_SIZE as VQ_SIZE+CURSOR_SIZE looked like a bug to me. But to be honest I don't have the faintest idea what virtual queues are for in the graphic hardware and whether the driver needs them in any way. I only know that they aren't directly accessed by the driver and so the only potential current use would be as hardware internal buffers. For now keep them to avoid regressions and only remove the double cursor allocation. The most changes were caused by renames and the mentioned structure changes so the chance of regressions is pretty low. The meaning of viafb_accel changed slightly as previously it was changed back and forth in the code and allowed to enable the hardware acceleration by software if previously disabled. The new behaviour is that viafb_accel=0 always prevents hardware acceleration. With viafb_accel!=0 the acceleration can be freely choosen by set_var. This means viafb_accel is a diagnostic tool and if someone has to use viafb_accel=0 the driver needs to be fixed. As this is mostly a code cleanup no regressions beside the slightly change of viafb_accel is expected.

2009-09-23viafb: improve pitch handlingFlorian Tobias Schandinat
Split the pitch handling up and replaces the calculation from virtual xres and bpp with fix.line_length which already contains the pitch and does not add any constrains for the virtual resolution. Also add a bit to the second pitch which the documentation mentions but which was ignored by the driver. Although it is a bit unclear what the right pitch for some LCD modes is this patch should have no negative runtime impact.

2009-09-23viafb: cleanup viafb_cursorFlorian Tobias Schandinat
Clean the hardware cursor handling up. The most notable change is that it no longer buffers the values in viacursor but uses the ones in cursor instead as they are guaranteed to be always valid. Furthermore it uses local instead global variables where possible, moves the cursor variable in shared as only one hardware cursor is supported and returns an error if memory allocation fails. Last but not least it fixes a too small buffer (as u32 has only 4 and not 32 bytes) but this did not produce any known problems. This is mostly a code cleanup, no negative runtime changes are expected.

2009-09-23viafb: 2D engine rewriteFlorian Tobias Schandinat
This patch is a completly rewritten 2D engine. The engine is no longer in a default state but reinitialized every time to allow usage for both framebuffers regardless of their settings. The whole engine handling is concentrated in a big function which takes 16 parameters. Although the number of parameters is worryingly it is good to have a single funtion to deal with this stuff as it allows to easily support different engines and avoids some code duplication. On the way support for the new 2D engine in VX800 was added. As the with less code duplication but it is probably better to duplicate the code as this way is easier to walk if VIA ever decides to release a new engine which changes anything the driver touches. The engine support for VX800 gives a notable boost in speed. There are no known regressions but as this patch changes paths I do neither have the hardware nor documentation to check and has the possibility to put the system in a critical state heavy testing is appreciated.

2009-09-23viafb: improve viafb_parFlorian Tobias Schandinat
This patch introduces viafb_shared and is the beginning of a smooth transition to use it. viafb_shared should contain all general, non-surface specific data that should be shared along all viafb framebuffers while viafb_par should only contain things that are specific to each surface or in other words extend fb_info. This change is intended to clean the dual/multi framebuffer handling up. This removes the annoyance that viafbinfo1->par points to a different structure than viaparinfo1. As the last change is fundamental it is difficult to ensure that all parts of the driver do not depend on the previous brokenness but the chance of regressions is very low.

Remove everything related to video devices from the driver as it did not influence the driver operation.

2009-09-23viafb: clean up virtual memory handlingFlorian Tobias Schandinat
Clean the handling of ioremapped video memory up. The following changes were made: info->screen_base - viafb_FB_MM (VRAM offset calculation) was replaced by info->fix.smem_start - viafbinfo->fix.smem_start which is essentially the same calculation but done with physical instead virtual addresses. *->fbmem_virt was replaced by viafbinfo->screen_base This is true for viafbinfo and viafbinfo1 as the par pointers are equal. An early initialization of viafbinfo1->fix.smem* was removed as done later in viafb_setup_fixinfo. This patch highlights that the only usage of the ioremapped video memory in the driver is for hardware cursor handling. Even if it has to hold the used virtual screen mapped for old-fashioned read/write calls (vs. mmap'ed) a lot virtual memory could be saved by only ioremapping on demand.

The reduced blanking modes in the table are no problem because they have a higher index than the normal modes and therefore always the normal modes are selected just as the old behaviour.
