Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:
 "Mostly small fixes and cleanups for fb drivers (the biggest updates
  are for udlfb and pxafb drivers). This also adds deferred console
  takeover support to the console code and efifb driver.

  Summary:

   - add support for deferred console takeover, 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 (Hans de Goede)

   - improve console locking debugging code (Thomas Zimmermann)

   - copy the ACPI BGRT boot graphics to the framebuffer when deferred
     console takeover support is used in efifb driver (Hans de Goede)

   - update udlfb driver - fix lost console when the user unplugs a USB
     adapter, fix the screen corruption issue, fix locking and add some
     performance optimizations (Mikulas Patocka)

   - update pxafb driver - fix using uninitialized memory, switch to
     devm_* API, handle initialization errors and add support for
     lcd-supply regulator (Daniel Mack)

   - add support for boards booted with a DeviceTree in pxa3xx_gcu
     driver (Daniel Mack)

   - rename omap2 module to omap2fb.ko to avoid conflicts with omap1
     driver (Arnd Bergmann)

   - enable ACPI-based enumeration for goldfishfb driver (Yu Ning)

   - fix goldfishfb driver to make user space Android code use 60 fps
     (Christoffer Dall)

   - print big fat warning when nomodeset kernel parameter is used in
     vgacon driver (Lyude Paul)

   - remove VLA usage from fsl-diu-fb driver (Kees Cook)

   - misc fixes (Julia Lawall, Geert Uytterhoeven, Fredrik Noring,
     Yisheng Xie, Dan Carpenter, Daniel Vetter, Anton Vasilyev, Randy
     Dunlap, Gustavo A. R. Silva, Colin Ian King, Fengguang Wu)

   - misc cleanups (Roman Kiryanov, Yisheng Xie, Colin Ian King)"

<content type='text'>
On x86 some firmwares use a low non native resolution for the display when
they have shown some text messages. While keeping the bgrt filled with info
for the native resolution. If the bgrt image intended for the native
resolution still fits, it will be displayed very close to the right edge of
the display looking quite bad.

This commits adds a (heuristics based) checks for this and makes efifb
not show the boot graphics when this is the case.

<title>fbdev/efifb: Honour UEFI memory map attributes when mapping the FB</title>

<id>urn:sha1:38ac0287b7f4f3922e25fd8f81db67f2c13d16bb</id>
<content type='text'>
If the framebuffer address provided by the Graphics Output Protocol
(GOP) is covered by the UEFI memory map, it will tell us which memory
attributes are permitted when mapping this region. In some cases,
(KVM guest on ARM), violating this will result in loss of coherency,
which means that updates sent to the framebuffer by the guest will
not be observeable by the host, and the emulated display simply does
not work.

So if the memory map contains such a description, take the attributes
field into account, and add support for creating WT or WB mappings of
the framebuffer region.

<content type='text'>
On systems where fbcon is configured for deferred console takeover, the
intend is for the framebuffer to show the boot graphics (e.g a vendor
logo) until some message (e.g. an error) is printed or a graphical
session takes over.

Some firmware relies on the OS to show the boot graphics.

This patch adds support to efifb to show the boot graphics and
automatically enables this when fbcon is configured for deferred
console takeover.

<content type='text'>
On some hardware the LCD panel is not mounted upright in the casing,
but rotated by 90 degrees. In this case we want the console to
automatically be rotated to compensate.

The drm subsys has a quirk table for this, use the
drm_get_panel_orientation_quirk function to get the panel orientation
and set info-&gt;fbcon_rotate_hint based on this, so that the fbcon console
on top of efifb gets automatically rotated to compensate for the panel
orientation.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>drivers/fbdev/efifb: Allow BAR to be moved instead of claiming it</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dcf8f5ce31656534efada252f6a563c09b295983</id>
<content type='text'>
On UEFI systems, the firmware may expose a Graphics Output Protocol (GOP)
instance to which the efifb driver attempts to attach in order to provide
a minimal, unaccelerated framebuffer. The GOP protocol itself is not very
sophisticated, and only describes the offset and size of the framebuffer
in memory, and the pixel format.

If the GOP framebuffer is provided by a PCI device, it will have been
configured and enabled by the UEFI firmware, and the GOP protocol will
simply point into a live BAR region. However, the GOP protocol itself does
not describe this relation, and so we have to take care not to reconfigure
the BAR without taking efifb's dependency on it into account.

Commit:

  55d728a40d36 ("efi/fb: Avoid reconfiguration of BAR that covers the framebuffer")

attempted to do so by claiming the BAR resource early on, which prevents the
PCI resource allocation routines from changing it.  However, it turns out
that this only works if the PCI device is not behind any bridges, since
the bridge resources need to be claimed first.

So instead, allow the BAR to be moved, but make the efifb driver deal
with that gracefully. So record the resource that covers the BAR early
on, and if it turns out to have moved by the time we probe the efifb
driver, update the framebuffer address accordingly.

While this is less likely to occur on x86, given that the firmware's
PCI resource allocation is more likely to be preserved, this is a
worthwhile sanity check to have in place, and so let's remove the
preprocessor conditional that makes it !X86 only.

<id>urn:sha1:dd0c41f8a7e0babdadc61d5201ac8505a79dec05</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

PCI_STD_RESOURCE_END is (confusingly) the index of the last valid BAR, not
the *number* of BARs.  To iterate through all possible BARs, we need to
include PCI_STD_RESOURCE_END.
