[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 00/31] drm/kms: Stop registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display

Hi All,

As mentioned in my RFC titled "drm/kms: control display brightness through
drm_connector properties":
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/0d188965-d809-81b5-74ce-7d30c49fee2d at
redhat.com/

The first step towards this is to deal with some existing technical debt
in backlight handling on x86/ACPI boards, specifically we need to stop
registering multiple /sys/class/backlight devs for a single display.

This series implements my RFC describing my plan for these cleanups:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/98519ba0-7f18-201a-ea34-652f50343158 at
redhat.com/

Changes in version 4:
- Minor tweaks to nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight changes
- Add nouveau_acpi_* wrappers around used include/acpi/video.h functions to
  fix unresolved symbol errors on non X86

Changes in version 3:
- ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too, adjust various Kconfig changes
- Make the delay before doing fallback acpi_video backlight registration
  a module option (patch 9)
- Move the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight fw API definitions to a shared header
- Add a "acpi_video_get_backlight_type() ==
acpi_backlight_nvidia_wmi_ec"
  check to the nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight driver (patch 19)

Changes in version 2:
- Introduce acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper
- Finishes the refactoring, addressing all the bits from the "Other
issues"
  section of the refactor RFC

Note the i915 patches (patch 2 and 12 still need a review/ack, and
I've dropped the previouw review of the nouveau patches because of
changes there. Please review.

This series as submitted is based on drm-tip for CI purposes.
I also have an immutable branch based on 6.0-rc1 with these
same patches available here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=backlight-detect-refactor-v4
assuming the i915 patches also pass review I hope to send out
a pull-request to all involved subsystems based on this branch soon.

Regards,

Hans

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 01/31] ACPI: video: Add acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper

ATM on x86 laptops where we want userspace to use the acpi_video backlight
device we often register both the GPU's native backlight device and
acpi_video's firmware acpi_video# backlight device. This relies on
userspace preferring firmware type backlight devices over native ones, but
registering 2 backlight devices for a single display really is undesirable.

On x86 laptops where the native GPU backlight device should be used,
the registering of other backlight devices is avoided by their drivers
using acpi_video_get_backlight_type() and only registering their backlight
if the return value matches their type.

acpi_video_get_backlight_type() uses
backlight_device_get_by_type(BACKLIGHT_RAW) to determine if a native
driver is available and will never return native if this returns
false. This means that the GPU's native backlight registering code
cannot just call acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to determine if it
should register its backlight, since acpi_video_get_backlight_type() will
never return native until the native backlight has already registered.

To fix this add a new internal native function parameter to
acpi_video_get_backlight_type(), which when set to true will make
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() behave as if a native backlight has
already been registered.

And add a new acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper, which sets this
to true, for use in native GPU backlight code.

Changes in v2:
- Replace adding a native parameter to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() with
  adding a new acpi_video_backlight_use_native() helper.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 05/31] drm/nouveau: Don't register backlight when another backlight should be used (v2)

Before this commit when we want userspace to use the acpi_video backlight
device we register both the GPU's native backlight device and
acpi_video's
firmware acpi_video# backlight device. This relies on userspace preferring
firmware type backlight devices over native ones.

Registering 2 backlight devices for a single display really is
undesirable, don't register the GPU's native backlight device when
another backlight device should be used.

Changes in v2:
- Add nouveau_acpi_video_backlight_use_native() wrapper to avoid unresolved
  symbol errors on non X86

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 06/31] ACPI: video: Drop backlight_device_get_by_type() call from acpi_video_get_backlight_type()

All x86/ACPI kms drivers which register native/BACKLIGHT_RAW type
backlight devices call acpi_video_backlight_use_native() now. This sets
__acpi_video_get_backlight_type()'s internal static native_available flag.

This makes the backlight_device_get_by_type(BACKLIGHT_RAW) check
unnecessary.

Relying on the cached native_available value not only is simpler, it will
also work correctly in cases where then native backlight registration was
skipped because of acpi_video_backlight_use_native() returning false.

Move the list_del removing an acpi_video_bus from video_bus_head

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 09/31] ACPI: video: Make backlight class device registration a separate step (v2)

On x86/ACPI boards the acpi_video driver will usually initialize before
the kms driver (except i915). This causes /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
to show up and then the kms driver registers its own native backlight
device after which the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code unregisters
the acpi_video0 device (when acpi_video_get_backlight_type()==native).

This means that userspace briefly sees 2 devices and the disappearing of
acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd backlight level
save/restore code, see e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920

To fix this make backlight class device registration a separate step
done by a new acpi_video_register_backlight() function. The intend is for
this to be called by the drm/kms driver *after* it is done setting up its
own native backlight device. So that acpi_video_get_backlight_type() knows
if a native backlight will be available or not at acpi_video backlight
registration time, avoiding the add + remove dance.

Note the new acpi_video_register_backlight() function is also called from
a delayed work to ensure that the acpi_video backlight devices does get
registered if necessary even if there is no drm/kms driver or when it is
disabled.

Changes in v2:
- Make register_backlight_delay a module parameter, mainly so that it can
  be disabled by Nvidia binary driver users

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 10/31] ACPI: video: Remove code to unregister acpi_video backlight when a native backlight registers

Remove the code to unregister acpi_video backlight devices when
a native backlight device gets registered later.

Now that the acpi_video backlight device registration is a separate step
which runs later, after the drm/kms driver is done setting up its own
native backlight device, it is no longer necessary to monitor for a
native (BACKLIGHT_RAW) device showing up later and to then unregister
the acpi_video backlight device(s).

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 11/31] drm/i915: Call acpi_video_register_backlight() (v2)

On machins without an i915 opregion the acpi_video driver immediately
probes the ACPI video bus and used to also immediately register
acpi_video# backlight devices when supported.

Once the drm/kms driver then loaded later and possibly registered
a native backlight device then the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code
unregistered the acpi_video0 device to avoid there being 2 backlight
devices (when acpi_video_get_backlight_type()==native).

This means that userspace used to briefly see 2 devices and the
disappearing of acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd
backlight level save/restore code, see e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920

To fix this the ACPI video code has been modified to make backlight class
device registration a separate step, relying on the drm/kms driver to
ask for the acpi_video backlight registration after it is done setting up
its native backlight device.

Add a call to the new acpi_video_register_backlight() after the i915 calls
acpi_video_register() (after setting up the i915 opregion) so that the
acpi_video backlight devices get registered on systems where the i915
native backlight device is not registered.

Changes in v2:
-Only call acpi_video_register_backlight() when a panel is detected

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 12/31] drm/nouveau: Register ACPI video backlight when nv_backlight registration fails (v2)

Typically the acpi_video driver will initialize before nouveau, which
used to cause /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 to get registered and then
nouveau would register its own nv_backlight device later. After which
the drivers/acpi/video_detect.c code unregistered the acpi_video0 device
to avoid there being 2 backlight devices.

This means that userspace used to briefly see 2 devices and the
disappearing of acpi_video0 after a brief time confuses the systemd
backlight level save/restore code, see e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=269920

To fix this the ACPI video code has been modified to make backlight class
device registration a separate step, relying on the drm/kms driver to
ask for the acpi_video backlight registration after it is done setting up
its native backlight device.

Add a call to the new acpi_video_register_backlight() when native backlight
device registration has failed / was skipped to ensure that there is a
backlight device available before the drm_device gets registered with
userspace.

Changes in v2:
- Add nouveau_acpi_video_register_backlight() wrapper to avoid unresolved
  symbol errors on non X86

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 16/31] ACPI: video: Refactor acpi_video_get_backlight_type() a bit

Refactor acpi_video_get_backlight_type() so that the heuristics /
detection steps are stricly in order of descending precedence.

Also move the comments describing the steps to when the various steps are
actually done, to avoid the comments getting out of sync with the code.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 17/31] ACPI: video: Add Nvidia WMI EC brightness control detection (v3)

On some new laptop designs a new Nvidia specific WMI interface is present
which gives info about panel brightness control and may allow controlling
the brightness through this interface when the embedded controller is used
for brightness control.

When this WMI interface is present and indicates that the EC is used,
then this interface should be used for brightness control.

Changes in v2:
- Use the new shared nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight.h header for the
  WMI firmware API definitions
- ACPI_VIDEO can now be enabled on non X86 too,
  adjust the Kconfig changes to match this.

Changes in v3:
- Use WMI_BRIGHTNESS_GUID define

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 18/31] ACPI: video: Add Apple GMUX brightness control detection

On Apple laptops with an Apple GMUX using this for brightness control,
should take precedence of any other brightness control methods.

Add apple-gmux detection to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() using
the already existing apple_gmux_present() helper function.

This will allow removig the (ab)use of:

	acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);

Inside the apple-gmux driver.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 19/31] platform/x86: nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight: Use acpi_video_get_backlight_type()

Add an acpi_video_get_backlight_type() == acpi_backlight_nvidia_wmi_ec
check. This will make nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight properly honor the user
selecting a different backlight driver through the acpi_backlight=...
kernel commandline option.

Since the auto-detect code check for nvidia-wmi-ec-backlight in
drivers/acpi/video_detect.c already checks that the WMI advertised
brightness-source is the embedded controller, this new check makes it
unnecessary for nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight_probe() to check this itself.

Now that acpi_video_get_backlight_type() has apple-gmux detection (using

to manually remove possibly conflicting drivers.

So remove the handling for this from the apple-gmux driver.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 21/31] platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Stop using acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.

In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()
actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often
probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class
device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where
udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone.

In case of toshiba_acpi there are no DMI quirks to move to
acpi/video_detect.c, but it also (ab)uses it for transflective
displays. Adding transflective display support to video_detect.c would
be quite involved. But luckily there are only 2 known models with
a transflective display, so we can just add DMI quirks for those.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 22/31] platform/x86: acer-wmi: Move backlight DMI quirks to acpi/video_detect.c

Move the backlight DMI quirks to acpi/video_detect.c, so that
the driver no longer needs to call acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type().

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.

Note that even though the DMI quirk table name was video_vendor_dmi_table,
5/6 quirks were actually quirks to use the GPU native backlight.

These 5 quirks also had a callback in their dmi_system_id entry which
disabled the acer-wmi vendor driver; and any DMI match resulted in:

	acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);

which disabled the acpi_video driver, so only the native driver was left.
The new entries for these 5/6 devices correctly marks these as needing
the native backlight driver.

Also note that other changes in this series change the native backlight
drivers to no longer unconditionally register their backlight. Instead
these drivers now do this check:

	if (acpi_video_get_backlight_type(false) != acpi_backlight_native)
		return 0; /* bail */

which without this patch would have broken these 5/6 "special" quirks.

Since I had to look at all the commits adding the quirks anyways, to make
sure that I understood the code correctly, I've also added links to
the various original bugzillas for these quirks to the new entries.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 23/31] platform/x86: asus-wmi: Drop DMI chassis-type check from backlight handling

Remove this check from the asus-wmi backlight handling:

	/* Some Asus desktop boards export an acpi-video backlight interface,
	   stop this from showing up */
	chassis_type = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_CHASSIS_TYPE);
	if (chassis_type && !strcmp(chassis_type, "3"))
		acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor);

This acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor) call must be
removed because other changes in this series change the native backlight
drivers to no longer unconditionally register their backlight. Instead
these drivers now do this check:

        if (acpi_video_get_backlight_type(false) != acpi_backlight_native)
                return 0; /* bail */

So leaving this in place can break things on laptops with a broken
DMI chassis-type, which would have GPU native brightness control before
the addition of the acpi_video_get_backlight_type() != native check.

Removing this should be ok now, since the ACPI video code has improved
heuristics for this itself now (which includes a chassis-type check).

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 24/31] platform/x86: asus-wmi: Move acpi_backlight=vendor quirks to ACPI video_detect.c

Remove the asus-wmi quirk_entry.wmi_backlight_power quirk-flag, which
called acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type(acpi_backlight_vendor) and replace
it with acpi/video_detect.c video_detect_dmi_table[] entries using the
video_detect_force_vendor callback.

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end up
getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.

Note no entries are dropped from the dmi_system_id table in asus-nb-wmi.c.
This is because the entries using the removed wmi_backlight_power flag
also use other model specific quirks from the asus-wmi quirk_entry struct.
So the quirk_asus_x55u struct and the entries pointing to it cannot be
dropped.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 27/31] ACPI: video: Remove acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()

acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() is troublesome because it may end
up getting called after other backlight drivers have already called
acpi_video_get_backlight_type() resulting in the other drivers
already being registered even though they should not.

In case of the acpi_video backlight, acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type()
actually calls acpi_video_unregister_backlight() since that is often
probed earlier, leading to userspace seeing the acpi_video0 class
device being briefly available, leading to races in userspace where
udev probe-rules try to access the device and it is already gone.

All callers have been fixed to no longer call it, so remove
acpi_video_set_dmi_backlight_type() now.

This means we now also no longer need acpi_video_unregister_backlight()
for the remove acpi_video backlight after it was wrongly registered hack,
so remove that too.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 28/31] ACPI: video: Drop "Samsung X360" acpi_backlight=native quirk

acpi_backlight=native is the default for the "Samsung X360", but as
the comment explains the quirk was still necessary because even
briefly registering the acpi_video0 backlight; and then unregistering
it once the native driver showed up, was leading to issues.

After the "ACPI: video: Make backlight class device registration
a separate step" patch from earlier in this patch-series, we no
longer briefly register the acpi_video0 backlight on systems where
the native driver should be used.

So this is no longer an issue an the quirk is no longer needed.

[Nouveau] [PATCH v4 30/31] ACPI: video: Fix indentation of video_detect_dmi_table[] entries

The video_detect_dmi_table[] uses an unusual indentation for
before the ".name = ..." named struct initializers.

Instead of being indented with an extra tab compared to
the previous line's '{' these are indented to with only
a single space to allow for long DMI_MATCH() lines without
wrapping.

But over time some entries did not event have the single space
indent in front of the ".name = ..." lines.

Make things consistent by using a single space indent for these
lines everywhere.

+Brightness handling on devices with multiple internal panels
+===========================================================+
+On x86/ACPI devices there can be multiple backlight firmware interfaces:
+(ACPI) video, vendor specific and others. As well as direct/native (PWM)
+register programming by the KMS driver.
+
+To deal with this backlight drivers used on x86/ACPI call
+acpi_video_get_backlight_type() which has heuristics (+quirks) to select
+which backlight interface to use; and backlight drivers which do not match
+the returned type will not register themselves, so that only one backlight
+device gets registered (in a single GPU setup, see below).
+
+At the moment this more or less assumes that there will only
+be 1 (internal) panel on a system.
+
+On systems with 2 panels this may be a problem, depending on
+what interface acpi_video_get_backlight_type() selects:
+
+1. native: in this case the KMS driver is expected to know which backlight
+   device belongs to which output so everything should just work.
+2. video: this does support controlling multiple backlights, but some work
+   will need to be done to get the output <-> backlight device mapping
+
+The above assumes both panels will require the same backlight interface type.
+Things will break on systems with multiple panels where the 2 panels need
+a different type of control. E.g. one panel needs ACPI video backlight control,
+where as the other is using native backlight control. Currently in this case
+only one of the 2 required backlight devices will get registered, based on
+the acpi_video_get_backlight_type() return value.
+
+If this (theoretical) case ever shows up, then supporting this will need some
+work. A possible solution here would be to pass a device and connector-name
+to acpi_video_get_backlight_type() so that it can deal with this.
+
+Note in a way we already have a case where userspace sees 2 panels,
+in dual GPU laptop setups with a mux. On those systems we may see
+either 2 native backlight devices; or 2 native backlight devices.
+
+Userspace already has code to deal with this by detecting if the related
+panel is active (iow which way the mux between the GPU and the panels
+points) and then uses that backlight device. Userspace here very much
+assumes a single panel though. It picks only 1 of the 2 backlight devices
+and then only uses that one.
+
+Note that all userspace code (that I know off) is currently hardcoded
+to assume a single panel.
+
+Before the recent changes to not register multiple (e.g. video + native)
+/sys/class/backlight devices for a single panel (on a single GPU laptop),
+userspace would see multiple backlight devices all controlling the same
+backlight.
+
+To deal with this userspace had to always picks one preferred device under
+/sys/class/backlight and will ignore the others. So to support brightness
+control on multiple panels userspace will need to be updated too.
+
+There are plans to allow brightness control through the KMS API by adding
+a "display brightness" property to drm_connector objects for panels.
This
+solves a number of issues with the /sys/class/backlight API, including not
+being able to map a sysfs backlight device to a specific connector. Any
+userspace changes to add support for brightness control on devices with
+multiple panels really should build on top of this new KMS property.
