Virtualization - Apr 2021 - [PATCH v2 03/10] drm/aperture: Move fbdev conflict helpers into drm_aperture.h

This patchset adds support for simple-framebuffer platform devices and
a handover mechanism for native drivers to take-over control of the
hardware.

The new driver, called simpledrm, binds to a simple-frambuffer platform
device. The kernel's boot code creates such devices for firmware-provided
framebuffers, such as EFI-GOP or VESA. Typically the BIOS, UEFI or boot
loader sets up the framebuffers. Description via device tree is also an
option.

Simpledrm is small enough to be linked into the kernel. The driver's main
purpose is to provide graphical output during the early phases of the boot
process, before the native DRM drivers are available. Native drivers are
typically loaded from an initrd ram disk. Occationally simpledrm can also
serve as interim solution on graphics hardware without native DRM driver.

So far distributions rely on fbdev drivers, such as efifb, vesafb or
simplefb, for early-boot graphical output. However fbdev is deprecated and
the drivers do not provide DRM interfaces for modern userspace.

Patches 1 and 2 prepare the DRM format helpers for simpledrm.

Patches 3 and 4 add a hand-over mechanism. Simpledrm acquires it's
framebuffer's I/O-memory range and provides a callback function to be
removed by a native driver. The native driver will remove simpledrm before
taking over the hardware. The removal is integrated into existing helpers,
so drivers use it automatically.

Patches 5 to 10 add the simpledrm driver. It's build on simple DRM helpers
and SHMEM. It supports 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit RGB framebuffers. During
pageflips, SHMEM buffers are copied into the framebuffer memory, similar
to cirrus or mgag200. The code in patches 8 and 9 handles clocks and
regulators. It's based on the simplefb drivers, but has been modified for
DRM.

I've also been working on fastboot support (i.e., flicker-free booting).
This requires state-readout from simpledrm via generic interfaces, as
outlined in [1]. I do have some prototype code, but it will take a while
to get this ready. Simpledrm will then support it.

I've tested simpledrm with x86 EFI and VESA framebuffers, which both work
reliably. The fbdev console and Weston work automatically. Xorg requires
manual configuration of the device. Xorgs current modesetting driver does
not work with both, platform and PCI device, for the same physical
hardware. Once configured, X11 works. I looked into X11, but couldn't see
an easy way of fixing the problem. With the push towards Wayland+Xwayland
I expect the problem to become a non-issue soon. Additional testing has
been reported at [2].

One cosmetical issue is that simpledrm's device file is card0 and the
native driver's device file is card1. After simpledrm has been kicked out,
only card1 is left. This does not seem to be a practical problem however.

TODO/IDEAS:

	* provide deferred takeover
	* provide bootsplash DRM client
	* make simplekms usable with ARM-EFI fbs

v2:
	* rename to simpledrm, aperture helpers
	* reorganized patches
	* use hotplug helpers for removal (Daniel)
	* added DT match tables (Rob)
	* use shadow-plane helpers
	* lots of minor cleanups

Fbdev's helpers for handling conflicting framebuffers are related to
framebuffer apertures, not console emulation. Therefore move them into a
drm_aperture.h, which will contain the interfaces for the new aperture
helpers.

2.30.1

Platform devices might operate on firmware framebuffers, such as VESA or
EFI. Before a native driver for the graphics hardware can take over the
device, it has to remove any platform driver that operates on the firmware
framebuffer. Aperture helpers provide the infrastructure for platform
drivers to acquire firmware framebuffers, and for native drivers to remove
them later on.

It works similar to the related fbdev mechanism. During initialization, the
platform driver acquires the firmware framebuffer's I/O memory and provides
a callback to be removed. The native driver later uses this information to
remove any platform driver for it's framebuffer I/O memory.

The aperture removal code is integrated into the existing code for removing
conflicting framebuffers, so native drivers use it automatically.

v2:
	* rename plaform helpers to aperture helpers
	* tie to device lifetime with devm_ functions
	* removed unsued remove() callback
	* rename kickout to detach
	* make struct drm_aperture private
	* rebase onto existing drm_aperture.h header file
	* use MIT license only for simplicity
	* documentation

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * A graphics device might be supported by different drivers, but only one
+ * driver can be active at any given time. Many systems load a generic
+ * graphics drivers, such as EFI-GOP or VESA, early during the boot process.
+ * During later boot stages, they replace the generic driver with a dedicated,
+ * hardware-specific driver. To take over the device the dedicated driver
+ * first has to remove the generic driver. DRM aperture functions manage
+ * ownership of DRM framebuffer memory and hand-over between drivers.
+ *
+ * DRM drivers should call drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
+ * at the top of their probe function. The function removes any generic
+ * driver that is currently associated with the given framebuffer memory.
+ * If the framebuffer is located at PCI BAR 0, the rsp code looks as in the
+ * example given below.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	static int remove_conflicting_framebuffers(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		struct apertures_struct *ap;
+ *		bool primary = false;
+ *		int ret;
+ *
+ *		ap = alloc_apertures(1);
+ *		if (!ap)
+ *			return -ENOMEM;
+ *
+ *		ap->ranges[0].base = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0);
+ *		ap->ranges[0].size = pci_resource_len(pdev, 0);
+ *
+ *	#ifdef CONFIG_X86
+ *		primary = pdev->resource[PCI_ROM_RESOURCE].flags &
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW;
+ *	#endif
+ *		ret = drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(ap, "example
driver", primary);
+ *		kfree(ap);
+ *
+ *		return ret;
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	static int probe(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		int ret;
+ *
+ *		// Remove any generic drivers...
+ *		ret = remove_conflicting_framebuffers(pdev);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			return ret;
+ *
+ *		// ... and initialize the hardware.
+ *		...
+ *
+ *		drm_dev_register();
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ * For PCI devices it is often sufficient to use
drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers()
+ * and let it detect the framebuffer apertures automatically.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	static int probe(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		int ret;
+ *
+ *		// Remove any generic drivers...
+ *		ret = drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers(pdev, "example
driver");
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			return ret;
+ *
+ *		// ... and initialize the hardware.
+ *		...
+ *
+ *		drm_dev_register();
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ * Drivers that are susceptible to being removed be other drivers, such as
+ * generic EFI or VESA drivers, have to register themselves as owners of their
+ * given framebuffer memory. Ownership of the framebuffer memory is achived
+ * by calling devm_aperture_acquire(). On success, the driver is the owner
+ * of the framebuffer range. The function fails if the framebuffer is already
+ * by another driver. See below for an example.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	static struct drm_aperture_funcs ap_funcs = {
+ *		.detach = ...
+ *	};
+ *
+ *	static int acquire_framebuffers(struct drm_device *dev, struct pci_dev
*pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		resource_size_t start, len;
+ *		struct drm_aperture *ap;
+ *
+ *		base = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0);
+ *		size = pci_resource_len(pdev, 0);
+ *
+ *		ap = devm_acquire_aperture(dev, base, size, &ap_funcs);
+ *		if (IS_ERR(ap))
+ *			return PTR_ERR(ap);
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	static int probe(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		struct drm_device *dev;
+ *		int ret;
+ *
+ *		// ... Initialize the device...
+ *		dev = devm_drm_dev_alloc();
+ *		...
+ *
+ *		// ... and acquire ownership of the framebuffer.
+ *		ret = acquire_framebuffers(dev, pdev);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			return ret;
+ *
+ *		drm_dev_register();
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ * The generic driver is now subject to forced removal by other drivers. This
+ * is when the detach function in struct &drm_aperture_funcs comes into
play.
+ * When a driver calls drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() et al
+ * for the registered framebuffer range, the DRM core calls struct
+ * &drm_aperture_funcs.detach and the generic driver has to onload itself.
It
+ * may not access the device's registers, framebuffer memory, ROM, etc
after
+ * detach returned. If the driver supports hotplugging, detach can be treated
+ * like an unplug event.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *

2.30.1

The simpledrm driver is a DRM driver for simplefb framebuffers as
provided by the kernel's boot code. This driver enables basic
graphical output on many different graphics devices that are provided
by the platform (e.g., EFI, VESA, embedded framebuffers).

With the kernel's simplefb infrastructure, the kernel receives a
pre-configured framebuffer from the system (i.e., firmware, boot
loader). It creates a platform device to which simpledrm attaches.
The system's framebuffer consists of a memory range, size and format.
Based on these values, simpledrm creates a DRM devices. No actual
modesetting is possible.

v2:
	* rename driver to simpledrm
	* add dri-devel to MAINTAINERS entry
	* put native format first in primary-plane format list (Daniel)
	* inline simplekms_device_cleanup() (Daniel)
	* use helpers for shadow-buffered planes
	* fix whitespace errors

We register the simplekms device with the DRM platform helpers. A
native driver for the graphics hardware will kick-out the simpledrm
driver before taking over the device.

v2:
	* adapt to aperture changes
	* use drm_dev_unplug() and drm_dev_enter/exit()
	* don't split error string

I'm not sure what you mean with this ?  Currently deferred-takeover is
handled in the fbcon code. Current flickerfree boot works like this
(assuming a single LCD panel in a laptop):

1. EFI/GOP sets up the framebuffer, draws a vendor logo
2. The bootloader runs in silent mode and does not touch anything gfx related
3. kernel boots, with a loglevel of 3 so only CRIT/EMERG messages are shown
2. efifb loads; and tells fbcon that a framebuffer is now available for it to
"bind"
   to. Since CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER=y fbcon defers taking
over
   the console and leaves the dummy-console driver in place (unless there have
already
   been kernel messages logged, which there shouldn't because loglevel=3)
3. i915 loads, reads out the hw state compares this to the preferred-mode for
the
   panel which it would set, they match, nothing happens. i915 takes ownership
   of the scanout-buffer set up by the GOP, but leaves it in place.
   i915 also removes the efifb /dev/fb0 and installs its own /dev/fb0 fbdev
compat
   device, fbcon is notified of this, but is still deferred and leaves the dummy
   console driver in place as console driver.
4. Plymouth loads, allocates a new scan-out buffer at the panel's preferred
resolution,
   plymouth reads the vendor-logo through the BGRT ACPI interface and fills the
   scanout-buffer with the vendor-logo + a spinner. Then plymouth installs the
new
   scanout-buffer on the crtc, this is done atomically during vsync, so the user
   sees no changes, other then the spinner appearing
   (note the active VT is now in graphical mode)
5. From here on not flickering is a userspace problem

AFAICT this should work fine with simplekms too, unless it clears the screen
to black when it binds.

An addition to the above sequence, if at any time either the kernel or userspace
prints a message to the console; and at that time a fbdev is registered then
fbcon
will takeover as the console driver from the dummy driver and it will start
drawing
to the registered fbdev (1), destroying the framebuffer contents. Also if any
messages
where printend while no fbdev was registered, then fbcon will takeover the
console
as soon as a fbdev gets registered.

So since we already have deferred-takeover in the fbcon code, I wonder what you
mean when you are talking about "provide deferred takeover" for
simplekms?

Regards,

Hans


1) Except when the VT has been switched to GFX mode when this happens, then
fbcon
will delay using the fbdev until the VT is switched back to text mode.


p.s.

This has the interesting side effect then when logging into a desktop GUI
session:
kernel -> plymouth -> gdm -> GNOME user session

There never is any output to the text-console and fbcon never takes-over, so on
many Laptops running say Fedora workstation the fbcon code is actually unused
until the user manually switches to another virtual-console to log in in
text-mode:

Uh I'm not a big fan of Kconfig and .ko modules for every little helper
code. Imo just stuff this into the drm kms helpers and done. Or stuff it
into drm core code, I think either is a good case for this. Everything is
its own module means we need to EXPORT_SYMBOL more stuff, and then drivers
get funny ideas about using these internals ...

Maybe just me, but to avoid overstretching the attention spawn of doc
readers I'd avoid this example here. And maybe make the recommendation
stronger, e.g. "PCI device drivers can avoid open-coding
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() by calling
drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers()."

Is there really value in allowing/forcing drivers to set up their own
detach ops? You already make this specific to struct drm_device, an
implementation that just calls drm_dev_unplug feels like the right thing
to do?

Or maybe we should tie this more into the struct device mode and force an
unload that way? That way devm cleanup would work as one expects, and
avoid the need for anything specific (hopefully) in this detach callback.

Just feels a bit like we're reinventing half of the driver model here,
badly.

Uh this needs a comment that if ap->dev is NULL then we're called from
drm_aperture_detach_drivers() and hence the lock is already held.

here to check that. I was scratching my head first quite a bit how you'd
solve the deadlock, this is a neat solution (much simpler than anything I
came up with in my head). But needs comments.

Is this just exported because of the inline functions in the headers? Imo
better to make them proper functions (they're big after your patch&not
perf critical, so not good candidates for inlining anyway).

Annoying bikeshed, but I'd give them drm_aperture_ prefixes, for ocd
consistency. Also make them real functions, they're quite big and will
grow more in the next patch.

I'm also not super happy about the naming here but oh well.
