Nouveau - Feb 2016 - [PATCH v5 00/12] Enable GPU switching on pre-retina MacBook Pro

gmux is a microcontroller built into dual GPU MacBook Pros.
On pre-retina MBPs, if we're the inactive GPU, we need apple-gmux
to temporarily switch DDC so that we can probe the panel's EDID.

The checks for CONFIG_VGA_ARB and CONFIG_VGA_SWITCHEROO are necessary
because if either of them is disabled but gmux is present, the driver
would never load, even if we're the active GPU. (vga_default_device()
would evaluate to NULL and vga_switcheroo_handler_flags() would
evaluate to 0.)

1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)

Enable GPU switching on the pre-retina MacBook Pro (2008 - 2013), v5.

The main obstacle on these machines is that the panel mode in VBIOS
is bogus. Fortunately gmux can switch DDC independently from the
display, thereby allowing the inactive GPU to probe the panel's EDID.

In short, vga_switcheroo and apple-gmux are amended with hooks to
switch DDC, DRM core is amended with a drm_get_edid_switcheroo() helper,
and relevant drivers are amended to call that for LVDS outputs.

The retina MacBook Pro (2012 - present) uses eDP and cannot switch
AUX independently from the main link. The main obstacle there is link
training, I'm currently working on this, it will be addressed in a
future patch set.

This series is also reviewable on GitHub:
https://github.com/l1k/linux/commits/mbp_switcheroo_v5

Changes:

* New patch [01/12]: vga_switcheroo handler flags
  Alex Deucher asked if this series might regress on non-Apple laptops.
  To address this concern, I let handlers declare their capabilities in
  a bitmask. DRM drivers call drm_get_edid_switcheroo() only if the
  handler has set the VGA_SWITCHEROO_CAN_SWITCH_DDC flag.
  Currently just one other flag is defined which is used on retinas.

* Changed patch [02/12]: vga_switcheroo DDC locking
  Rename ddc_lock to mux_hw_lock, suggested by Daniel Vetter.

* New patch [03/12]: track switch state of apple-gmux
  Fixes a bug in previous versions of this series which occurred if
  the system was suspended while DDC was temporarily switched:
  On resume DDC was switched to the wrong GPU.

* New patches [09/12 - 12/12]: deferred probing
  Previously I used connector reprobing if the inactive GPU's driver
  loaded before gmux. I've ditched that in favor of deferred driver
  probing, which is much simpler. Thanks to Daniel Vetter for the
  suggestion.

Caution: Patch [09/12] depends on a new acpi_dev_present() API which
will land in 4.5 via Rafael J. Wysocki's tree.

I would particularly be interested in feedback on the handler flags
patch [01/12]. I'm not 100% happy with the number of characters
required to query the flags (e.g.: if (vga_switcheroo_handler_flags() &
VGA_SWITCHEROO_CAN_SWITCH_DDC)), but failed to come up with something
shorter. Thierry Reding used a struct of bools instead of a bitmask
for his recent drm_dp_link_caps patches. Maybe use that instead?

1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)

The pre-retina MacBook Pro uses an LVDS panel and a gmux controller
to switch the panel between its two GPUs. The panel mode in VBIOS
is notoriously bogus on these machines.

Use drm_get_edid_switcheroo() in lieu of drm_get_edid() on LVDS
if the vga_switcheroo handler is capable of temporarily switching
the panel's DDC lines to the discrete GPU. This allows us to retrieve
the EDID if the panel is currently muxed to the integrated GPU.
Likewise, ask vga_switcheroo to switch DDC before probing LVDS
connectors.

This only enables EDID probing on the pre-retina MBP (2008 - 2013).
The retina MBP (2012 - present) uses eDP and gmux is not capable of
switching AUX separately from the main link on these models.
This will be addressed in later patches.

v3: Commit newly added due to introduction of drm_get_edid_switcheroo()
    wrapper which drivers need to opt-in to.

v5: Rebase on "vga_switcheroo: Add handler flags infrastructure",
    i.e. call drm_get_edid_switcheroo() only if the handler
    indicates that DDC is switchable.

1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)

Allow handlers to declare their capabilities and allow clients to
obtain that information. So far we have these use cases:

* If the handler is able to switch DDC separately, clients need to
  probe EDID with drm_get_edid_switcheroo(). We should allow them
  to detect a capable handler to ensure this function only gets
  called when needed.

* Likewise if the handler is unable to switch AUX separately, the active
  client needs to communicate link training parameters to the inactive
  client, which may then skip the AUX handshake and set up its output
  with these pre-calibrated values (DisplayPort specification v1.1a,
  section 2.5.3.3). Clients need a way to recognize such a situation.

The flags for the radeon_atpx_handler and amdgpu_atpx_handler are
initially set to 0, this can later on be amended with
  handler_flags |= VGA_SWITCHEROO_CAN_SWITCH_DDC;
when a ->switch_ddc callback is added.

This series hasn't seen any reviews or acks unfortunately.
Any takers?

Merging this would allow fdo #61115 to be closed
(currently assigned to intel-gfx).

FWIW this series has in the meantime been tested by more folks:

Tested-by: Pierre Moreau <pierre.morrow at free.fr>
    [MBP  5,3 2009  nvidia MCP79 + G96        pre-retina  15"]
Tested-by: Paul Hordiienko <pvt.gord at gmail.com>
    [MBP  6,2 2010  intel ILK + nvidia GT216  pre-retina  15"]
Tested-by: William Brown <william at blackhats.net.au>
    [MBP  8,2 2011  intel SNB + amd turks     pre-retina  15"]
Tested-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas at wunner.de>
    [MBP  9,1 2012  intel IVB + nvidia GK107  pre-retina  15"]

On the latter three models it worked fine. On Pierre Moreau's machine
the discrete nvidia G96 locks up when woken. This happened in the past
as well but not on the first wake but only on the 10th or so. Since it
works fine on the GT216 and GK107, I'm guessing we've got a regression
in the wakeup code for the G96 which is somehow triggered by this patch
set (more specifically: triggered by being able to retrieve the proper
panel resolution and configure a crtc). It needs to be fixed but isn't
a showstopper for this series IMHO. (Arguably being able to retrieve
EDID but then locking up on switching isn't really worse than not being
able to retrieve EDID in the first place.)

Has the tree this depends on been merged? I got these patches and applied
them to drm-next and found I needed some acpi patches.

Can you start pushing these to github or somewhere and putting the link
here?

Dave.

I would say it is slightly worse, since the only "downside" of not
retrieving the EDID means  TTY is set to a default resolution rather than the
screen resolution, but this is fixed when starting X.
On the other hand, since DRI_PRIME works fine on the laptop, there isn't
much reason to switch between cards.

I'll have a look at the resume this week, now that FOSDEM is off my todo
list.

Pierre

No objection from the platform-driver-x86 side. I can pull these separately once
the core is in, or these can be included with that core (preferred) with my
Reviewed-by for 1, 3, 4, and 9.
