From c2bc958b2b03e361f14df99983bc64a39a7323a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Zimmermann Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 13:06:27 +0200 Subject: fbdev: vesafb: Detect VGA compatibility from screen info's VESA attributes Test the vesa_attributes field in struct screen_info for compatibility with VGA hardware. Vesafb currently tests bit 1 in screen_info's capabilities field which indicates a 64-bit lfb address and is unrelated to VGA compatibility. Section 4.4 of the Vesa VBE 2.0 specifications defines that bit 5 in the mode's attributes field signals VGA compatibility. The mode is compatible with VGA hardware if the bit is clear. In that case, the driver can access VGA state of the VBE's underlying hardware. The vesafb driver uses this feature to program the color LUT in palette modes. Without, colors might be incorrect. The problem got introduced in commit 89ec4c238e7a ("[PATCH] vesafb: Fix incorrect logo colors in x86_64"). It incorrectly stores the mode attributes in the screen_info's capabilities field and updates vesafb accordingly. Later, commit 5e8ddcbe8692 ("Video mode probing support for the new x86 setup code") fixed the screen_info, but did not update vesafb. Color output still tends to work, because bit 1 in capabilities is usually 0. Besides fixing the bug in vesafb, this commit introduces a helper that reads the correct bit from screen_info.
