* drm/modes: Introduce more named modesMaxime Ripard2022-11-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we can easily extend the named modes list, let's add a few more analog TV modes that were used in the wild, and some unit tests to make sure it works as intended.

* drm/modes: Introduce the tv_mode property as a command-line optionMaxime Ripard2022-11-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our new tv mode option allows to specify the TV mode from a property. However, it can still be useful, for example to avoid any boot time artifact, to set that property directly from the kernel command line. Let's add some code to allow it, and some unit tests to exercise that code.

* drm/modes: parse_cmdline: Add support for specifying panel_orientation (v2)Hans de Goede2019-12-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes we want to override a connector's panel_orientation from the kernel commandline. Either for testing and for special cases, e.g. a kiosk like setup which uses a TV mounted in portrait mode. Users can already specify a "rotate" option through a video= kernel cmdline option. But that only supports 0/180 degrees (see drm_client_modeset TODO) and only works for in kernel modeset clients, not for userspace kms users. The "panel-orientation" connector property OTOH does support 90/270 degrees as it leaves dealing with the rotation up to userspace and this does work for userspace kms clients (at least those which support this property).

While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide, I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the :orphan: and adding the SPDX header. For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific docs that were not split yet. For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch could do the move.

Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway.

* console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeoverHans de Goede2018-06-281-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered. This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer (typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is. The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not enable fbcon. This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option, which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the "quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as soon as e.g. an error message is logged. Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver, rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after 2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only feasible option.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new command line option to select the fbcon margin color. The motivation for this is screens where black does not blend into the physical surroundings of the screen. For example, using an LCD (not the backlit kind), white text on a black background is hard to read, so inverting the colors is preferred. However, when you do this, most of the screen is filled with white but the margins are still filled with black. This makes a big, black, backwards 'L' on the screen. By setting fbcon=margin:7, the margins will be filled with white and the LCD looks as expected.

* efifb: allow user to disable write combined mapping.Dave Airlie2017-07-311-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows the user to disable write combined mapping of the efifb framebuffer console using an nowc option. A customer noticed major slowdowns while logging to the console with write combining enabled, on other tasks running on the same CPU. (10x or greater slow down on all other cores on the same CPU as is doing the logging). I reproduced this on a machine with dual CPUs. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v3 @ 1.90GHz (6 core) I wrote a test that just mmaps the pci bar and writes to it in a loop, while this was running in the background one a single core with (taskset -c 1), building a kernel up to init/version.o (taskset -c 8) went from 13s to 133s or so. I've yet to explain why this occurs or what is going wrong I haven't managed to find a perf command that in any way gives insight into this. 11,885,070,715 instructions # 1.39 insns per cycle vs 12,082,592,342 instructions # 0.13 insns per cycle is the only thing I've spotted of interest, I've tried at least: dTLB-stores,dTLB-store-misses,L1-dcache-stores,LLC-store,LLC-store-misses,LLC-load-misses,LLC-loads,\mem-loads,mem-stores,iTLB-loads,iTLB-load-misses,cache-references,cache-misses For now it seems at least a good idea to allow a user to disable write combining if they see this until we can figure it out. Note also most users get a real framebuffer driver loaded when kms kicks in, it just happens on these machines the kernel didn't support the gpu specific driver.
