video: Add helpers for decoding screen_info

2024-02-14T09:09:13+00:00

The plain values as stored in struct screen_info need to be decoded before being used. Add helpers that decode the type of video output and the framebuffer I/O aperture. Old or non-x86 systems may not set the type of video directly, but only indicate the presence by storing 0x01 in orig_video_isVGA. The decoding logic in screen_info_video_type() takes this into account. It then follows similar code in vgacon's vgacon_startup() to detect the video type from the given values. A call to screen_info_resources() returns all known resources of the given screen_info. The resources' values have been taken from existing code in vgacon and vga16fb. These drivers can later be converted to use the new interfaces. v2: * return ssize_t from screen_info_resources() * don't call __screen_info_has_lfb() unnecessarily Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240212090736.11464-2-tzimmermann@suse.de

video/nomodeset: Select nomodeset= parameter with CONFIG_VIDEO

2024-01-23T09:11:38+00:00

Enable support for nomodeset= parameter via CONFIG_VIDEO. Both, DRM and fbdev, already select this option. Remove the existing option CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET. Simplifies the Kconfig rules.

video/cmdline: Introduce CONFIG_VIDEO for video= parameter

Add CONFIG_VIDEO for common code in drivers/video/. Use the option to select helpers for the video= parameter. Replaces CONFIG_VIDEO_CMDLINE. Other common code in drivers/video/ can be moved behind CONFIG_VIDEO, which will simplify the Kconfig rules.

video: logo: LOGO should depend on FB_CORE i.s.o. FB

2023-07-28T09:48:30+00:00

If CONFIG_FB_CORE=y and CONFIG_FB=n, the frame buffer bootup logos can no longer be enabled. Fix this by making CONFIG_LOGO depend on CONFIG_FB_CORE instead of CONFIG_FB, as there is no good reason for the logo code to depend on the presence of real frame buffer device drivers.

video: Add auxiliary display drivers to Graphics support menu

2023-07-22T10:24:22+00:00

The drivers in this subsystem are for either character-based or monochrome LCD controllers. Which can fall into the same category of the DRM/KMS and fbdev drivers, that are located under the "Graphics support" menu. Add the auxdisplay drivers there as well to have all display drivers under the same menu.

video: Move HP PARISC STI core code to shared location

2023-04-20T08:04:51+00:00

STI core files have been located in console and fbdev code. Move the source code and header to the directories for video helpers. Also update the config and build rules such that the code depends on the config symbol CONFIG_STI_CORE, which STI console and STI framebuffer select automatically. Cleans up the console makefile and prepares PARISC to implement fb_is_primary_device() within the arch/ directory. No functional changes.

fbdev: Handle video= parameter in video/cmdline.c

2023-02-20T13:56:48+00:00

Handle the command-line parameter video= in video/cmdline.c. Implement the fbdev helper fb_get_options() on top. Will allows to handle the kernel parameter in DRM without fbdev dependencies. Note that __video_get_options() has the meaning of its return value inverted compared to fb_get_options(). The new helper returns true if the adapter has been enabled, and false otherwise. There is the ofonly parameter, which disables output for non-OF-based framebuffers. It is only for offb and looks like a workaround. The actual purpose it not clear to me. Use 'video=off' or 'nomodeset' instead.

drm: Move nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video

2022-11-16T12:26:12+00:00

Move the nomodeset kernel parameter to drivers/video to make it available to non-DRM drivers. Adapt the interface, but keep the DRM interface drm_firmware_drivers_only() to avoid churn within DRM. The function should later be inlined into callers. The parameter disables any DRM graphics driver that would replace a driver for firmware-provided scanout buffers. It is an option to easily fallback to basic graphics output if the hardware's native driver is broken. Moving it to a more prominent location wil make it available to fbdev as well. v2: * clarify the meaning of the nomodeset parameter (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221111133024.9897-2-tzimmermann@suse.de

drm: Implement DRM aperture helpers under video/

2022-06-27T09:07:55+00:00

Implement DRM's aperture helpers under video/ for sharing with other sub-systems. Remove DRM-isms from the interface. The helpers track the ownership of framebuffer apertures and provide hand-over from firmware, such as EFI and VESA, to native graphics drivers. Other subsystems, such as fbdev and vfio, also have to maintain ownership of framebuffer apertures. Moving DRM's aperture helpers to a more public location allows all subsystems to interact with each other and share a common implementation. The aperture helpers are selected by the various firmware drivers within DRM and fbdev, and the VGA text-console driver. The original DRM interface is kept in place for use by DRM drivers. v3: * prefix all interfaces with aperture_ (Javier) * rework and simplify documentation (Javier) * rename struct dev_aperture to struct aperture_range * rebase onto latest DRM * update MAINTAINERS entry Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Tested-by: Laszlo Ersek Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220622140134.12763-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
