* ACPI / video: Favor native backlight interface for ThinkPad HelixStephen Chandler Paul2014-04-071-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | Like many other Windows 8 laptops the ThinkPad Helix's backlight has a broken ACPI interface and can only be properly adjusted by using the video card's native backlight control. This adds the ThinkPad Helix to the list of laptops affected with this issue so that video.use_native_backlight is enabled by default.

* ACPI / video: Add systems that should favour native backlight interfaceAaron Lu2014-02-201-5/+134
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some system's ACPI video backlight control interface is broken and the native backlight control interface should be used by default. This patch sets the use_native_backlight parameter to true for those systems so that video backlight control interface will not be created. For detailed models that are added here, reference the following list. Note that the user specified kernel cmdline option will always have the highest priority, i.e. if use_native_backlight=0 is specified and the system is in the DMI table, the video module will not skip registering backlight interface for it.

* ACPI / video: Filter the _BCL table for duplicate brightness valuesHans de Goede2014-02-201-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some devices have duplicate entries in there brightness levels table, ie on my Dell Latitude E6430 the table looks like this: [ 3.686060] acpi backlight index 0, val 80 [ 3.686095] acpi backlight index 1, val 50 [ 3.686122] acpi backlight index 2, val 5 [ 3.686147] acpi backlight index 3, val 5 [ 3.686172] acpi backlight index 4, val 5 [ 3.686197] acpi backlight index 5, val 5 [ 3.686223] acpi backlight index 6, val 5 [ 3.686248] acpi backlight index 7, val 5 [ 3.686273] acpi backlight index 8, val 6 [ 3.686332] acpi backlight index 9, val 7 [ 3.686356] acpi backlight index 10, val 8 [ 3.686380] acpi backlight index 11, val 9 etc. Notice that brightness values 0-5 are all mapped to 5. This means that if userspace writes any value between 0 and 5 to the brightness sysfs attribute and then reads it, it will always return 0, which is somewhat unexpected. This is a problem for ie gnome-settings-daemon, which uses read-modify-write logic when the users presses the brightness up or down keys. This is done this way to take brightness changes from other sources into account. On this specific laptop what happens once the brightness has been set to 0, is that gsd reads 0, adds 5, writes 5, and on the next brightness up key press again reads 0, so things get stuck at the lowest brightness setting. Filtering out the duplicate table entries, makes any write to brightness read back as the written value as one would expect, fixing this.

* ACPI: Clean up inclusions of ACPI header filesLv Zheng2013-12-071-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace direct inclusions of <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h>, which are incorrect, with <linux/acpi.h> inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't necessary. First of all, <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> should not be included directly from any files that are built for CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds. For CONFIG_ACPI set, <linux/acpi.h> includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case. Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always have to be met. Namely, it is required that <acpi/acpi_bus.h> be included prior to <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the latter depends on are always there. And <acpi/acpi.h> which provides basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds. That also is taken care of including <linux/acpi.h> as appropriate.

* ACPI / video: Quirk initial backlight level 0Aaron Lu2013-11-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some firmware doesn't initialize initial backlight level to a proper value and _BQC will return 0 on first time evaluation. We used to be able to detect such incorrect value with our code logic, as value 0 normally isn't a valid value in _BCL. But with the introduction of Win8, firmware begins to fill _BCL with values from 0 to 100, now 0 becomes a valid value but that value will make user's screen black. This patch test initial _BQC for value 0, if such a value is returned, do not use it.

* ACPI / video: Do not register backlight if win8 and native interface existsAaron Lu2013-10-161-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the ACPI backlight interface on these systems". So for Win8 systems, if there is native backlight control interface registered by GPU driver, ACPI video does not need to register its own. Since there are systems that don't work well with this approach, a parameter for video module named use_native_backlight is introduced and has the value of false by default. For users who have a broken ACPI video backlight interface, video.use_native_backlight=1 is needed in kernel cmdline. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The backlight control and event delivery functionality provided by ACPI video module is mixed together and registered all during video device enumeration time. As a result, the two functionality are also removed together on module unload time or by the acpi_video_unregister function. The two functionalities are actually independent and one may be useful while the other one may be broken, so it is desirable to seperate the two functionalities such that it is clear and easy to disable one functionality without affecting the other one. APIs to selectively remove backlight control interface and/or event delivery functionality can be easily added once needed. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

For example: current_level = max_level = 100 test_level = 0 returned level = 100 In this case 100 means the level, not the index, and _BCM failed. Still, if the _BCL package ordering is descending, the index of level 0 is also 100, so we assume _BQC is indexed, when it's not. This causes all _BQC calls to return bogus values causing weird behavior from the user's perspective. For example: xbacklight -set 10; xbacklight -set 20; would flash to 90% and then slowly down to the desired level (20). The solution is simple; test anything other than the first level (e.g. 1).

That problem is tracked by the bug entry at: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231 Commit 8c5bd7a (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915. Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as expected. For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7a, but leave the function acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another commit on top of it uses that function.

The breakage addressed here is not really new and the fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks that I think it's time to actually make some progress. The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths. However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows 8 compatibility. [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause problems to show up elsewhere ] Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel likes that part). The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu. The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by GUI. Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid backlight control problems in the future. - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.

This mostly affects hotkey notification deliver - if we do not set this bit, on hotkey press, firmware may choose to adjust brightness level instead of sending out notification and doing nothing. So this patch sets bit 2 when calling _DOS so that GUIs can show the notification window on hotkey press. This behavior change is only necessary for win8 systems.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the ACPI backlight interface on these systems". There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations: (1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver is used). (2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system, but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from doing so by the ACPI subsystem. Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already present). For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied. If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI video driver without the backlight interface otherwise. Make the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load(). This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

* ACPI / video: Do not bind to device objects with a scan handlerRafael J. Wysocki2013-06-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the introduction of ACPI scan handlers, ACPI device objects with an ACPI scan handler attached to them must not be bound to by ACPI drivers any more. Unfortunately, however, the ACPI video driver attempts to do just that if there is a _ROM ACPI control method defined under a device object with an ACPI scan handler. Prevent that from happening by making the video driver's "add" routine check if the device object already has an ACPI scan handler attached to it and return an error code in that case. That is not sufficient, though, because acpi_bus_driver_init() would then clear the device object's driver_data that may be set by its scan handler, so for the fix to work acpi_bus_driver_init() has to be modified to leave driver_data as is on errors.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | acpi_video_bus_get_devices() may fail due to some video output device doesn't have the _ADR method, and in this case, the error processing is to simply free the video structure in acpi_video_bus_add(), while leaving those already registered video output devices in the wild, which means for some video output device, we have already registered a backlight interface and installed a notification handler for it. So it can happen when user is using this system, on hotkey pressing, the notification handler will send a keycode through a non-existing input device, causing kernel freeze. To solve this problem, free all those already registered video output devices once something goes wrong in acpi_video_bus_get_devices(), so that no wild backlight interfaces and notification handlers exist.

* acpi: video: enhance the quirk detect logic of _BQCAaron Lu2013-04-221-10/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we decide if the _BQC is using index by first setting the level to maximum, and then check if _BQC returned maximum; if not, we say it is using index. This is not true for some buggy systems, where the _BQC method will always return a constant value(e.g. 0 or 100 for the two broken system) and thus break the current logic. So this patch tries to enhance the quirk detect logic for _BQC: we do this by picking a test_level, it can be the maximum level or the mininum one based on some condition. And we don't make the assumption that if _BQC returned a value that is not what we just set, it must be using an index. Instead, we will compare the value returned from _BQC and if it doesn't match, see if the returned value is an index. And if still no, clear the capability of _BQC.

* ACPI / video: Fix brightness control initialization for some laptops.Danny Baumann2013-03-251-17/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, this fixes brightness control initialization for all devices that return index values from _BQC and don't happen to have the initial index set by the BIOS in their _BCL table. One example for that is the Dell Inspiron 15R SE (model number 7520). What happened for those devices is that acpi_init_brightness queried the initial brightness by calling acpi_video_device_lcd_get_level_current. This called _BQC, which returned e.g. 13. As _BQC_use_index isn't determined at this point (and thus has its initial value of 0), the index isn't converted into the actual level. As '13' isn't present in the _BCL list, *level is later overwritten with brightness->curr, which was initialized to max_level (100) before. Later in acpi_init_brightness, level_old (with the value 100) is used as an index into the _BCL table, which causes a value outside of the actual table to be used as input into acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level(). Depending on the (undefined) value of that location, this call will fail, causing the brightness control for the device in question not to be enabled. Fix that by returning the raw value returned by the _BQC call in the initialization case.
