[PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics core

This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core.

Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core.  This
is of very limited truth.  Even vesafb is faster and provides more working
modes and a much better quality of the video signal.  There is a great
number of bugs in tridentfb ...  but most often it is impossible to decide
if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core
would break support for one of the other supported chips.

Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the
supported chips is not available.  So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside
of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous
if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ...  cases and would have rendered the code to be
almost unmaintainable.

A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31.  A fix for a
bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes
requested by Antonino A.  Daplas.

A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb
to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected.

This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation
it is bigger than 70kb.  Therefore it is not sent to lkml and
linux-fbdev-devel,

+
+The datasheet is incomplete, some registers that need to be programmed are not
+explained at all and important bits are listed as "reserved". But you really
+need the datasheet to understand the code.  "p. xxx" comments refer to page
+numbers of this document.
+
+XFree/XOrg drivers are available and of good quality, looking at the code
+there is a good idea if the datasheet does not provide enough information
+or if the datasheet seems to be wrong.

+Speed
+=====
+
+CyBlaFB is much faster than tridentfb and vesafb. Compare the performance data
+for mode 1280x1024-[8,16,32]@61 Hz.
+
+Test 1: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 0 characters.
+Test 2: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 80 characters.
+Test 3: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 160 characters.
+
+All values show system time use in seconds, kernel 2.6.12 was used for
+the measurements. 2.6.13 is a bit slower, 2.6.14 hopefully will include a
+patch that speeds up kernel bitblitting a lot ( > 20%).

+=======================

+
+Interlaced video modes		The reason that interleaved

+CyBlaFB is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core integrated
+into the VIA Apollo PLE133 (aka vt8601) south bridge. It is developed and
+tested using a VIA EPIA 5000 board.
+
+Cyblafb - compiled into the kernel or as a module?
+==================================================
+
+You might compile cyblafb either as a module or compile it permanently into the
+kernel.
+
+Unless you have a real reason to do so you should not compile both vesafb and
+cyblafb permanently into the kernel. It's possible and it helps during the
+developement cycle, but it's useless and will at least block some otherwise
+usefull memory for ordinary users.
+
+Selecting Modes
+===============
+
+	Startup Mode
+	============
+
+	First of all, you might use the "vga=???" boot parameter as it is
+	documented in vesafb.txt and svga.txt. Cyblafb will detect the video
+	mode selected and will use the geometry and timings found by
+	inspecting the hardware registers.
+
+		video=cyblafb vga=0x317
+
+	Alternatively you might use a combination of the mode, ref and bpp
+	parameters. If you compiled the driver into the kernel, add something
+	like this to the kernel command line:
+
+		video=cyblafb:1280x1024,bpp=16,ref=50 ...
+
+	If you compiled the driver as a module, the same mode would be
+	selected by the following command:
+
+		modprobe cyblafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=16 ref=50 ...
+
+	None of the modes possible to select as startup modes are affected by
+	the problems described at the end of the next subsection.
+
+	Mode changes using fbset
+	========================
+
+	You might use fbset to change the video mode, see "man fbset". Cyblafb
+	generally does assume that you know what you are doing. But it does
+	some checks, especially those that are needed to prevent you from
+	damaging your hardware.
+
+		- only 8, 16, 24 and 32 bpp video modes are accepted
+		- interlaced video modes are not accepted
+		- double scan video modes are not accepted
+		- if a flat panel is found, cyblafb does not allow you
+		  to program a resolution higher than the physical
+		  resolution of the flat panel monitor
+		- cyblafb does not allow xres to differ from xres_virtual
+		- cyblafb does not allow vclk to exceed 230 MHz. As 32 bpp
+		  and (currently) 24 bit modes use a doubled vclk internally,
+		  the dotclock limit as seen by fbset is 115 MHz for those
+		  modes and 230 MHz for 8 and 16 bpp modes.
+
+	Any request that violates the rules given above will be ignored and
+	fbset will return an error.
+
+	If you program a virtual y resolution higher than the hardware limit,
+	cyblafb will silently decrease that value to the highest possible
+	value.
+
+	Attempts to disable acceleration are ignored.
+
+	Some video modes that should work do not work as expected. If you use
+	the standard fb.modes, fbset 640x480-60 will program that mode, but
+	you will see a vertical area, about two characters wide, with only
+	much darker characters than the other characters on the screen.
+	Cyblafb does allow that mode to be set, as it does not violate the
+	official specifications. It would need a lot of code to reliably sort
+	out all invalid modes, playing around with the margin values will
+	give a valid mode quickly. And if cyblafb would detect such an invalid
+	mode, should it silently alter the requested values or should it
+	report an error? Both options have some pros and cons. As stated
+	above, none of the startup modes are affected, and if you set
+	verbosity to 1 or higher, cyblafb will print the fbset command that
+	would be needed to program that mode using fbset.
+
+
+Other Parameters
+================
+
+
+crt		don't autodetect, assume monitor connected to
+		standard VGA connector
+
+fp		don't autodetect, assume flat panel display
+		connected to flat panel monitor interface
+
+nativex 	inform driver about native x resolution of
+		flat panel monitor connected to special
+		interface (should be autodetected)
+
+stretch 	stretch image to adapt low resolution modes to
+		higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
+		connected to special interface
+
+center		center image to adapt low resolution modes to
+		higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
+		connected to special interface
+
+memsize 	use if autodetected memsize is wrong ...
+		should never be necessary
+
+nopcirr 	disable PCI read retry
+nopciwr 	disable PCI write retry
+nopcirb 	disable PCI read bursts
+nopciwb 	disable PCI write bursts
+
+bpp		bpp for specified modes
+		valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32
+
+ref		refresh rate for specified mode
+		valid values: 50 <= ref <= 85
+
+mode		640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024
+		if not specified, the startup mode will be detected
+		and used, so you might also use the vga=??? parameter
+		described in vesafb.txt. If you do not specify a mode,
+		bpp and ref parameters are ignored.
+
+verbosity	0 is the default, increase to at least 2 for every
+		bug report!
+
+vesafb		allows cyblafb to be loaded after vesafb has been
+		loaded. See sections "Module unloading ...".
+
+
+Development hints
+=================
+
+It's much faster do compile a module and to load the new version after
+unloading the old module than to compile a new kernel and to reboot. So if you
+try to work on cyblafb, it might be a good idea to use cyblafb as a module.
+In real life, fast often means dangerous, and that's also the case here. If
+you introduce a serious bug when cyblafb is compiled into the kernel, the
+kernel will lock or oops with a high probability before the file system is
+mounted, and the danger for your data is low. If you load a broken own version
+of cyblafb on a running system, the danger for the integrity of the file
+system is much higher as you might need a hard reset afterwards. Decide
+yourself.
+
+Module unloading, the vfb method
+================================
+
+If you want to unload/reload cyblafb using the virtual framebuffer, you need
+to enable vfb support in the kernel first. After that, load the modules as
+shown below:
+
+	modprobe vfb vfb_enable=1
+	modprobe fbcon
+	modprobe cyblafb
+	fbset -fb /dev/fb1 1280x1024-60 -vyres 2662
+	con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
+	...
+
+If you now made some changes to cyblafb and want to reload it, you might do it
+as show below:
+
+	con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
+	...
+	rmmod cyblafb
+	modprobe cyblafb
+	con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
+	...
+
+Of course, you might choose another mode, and most certainly you also want to
+map some other /dev/tty* to the real framebuffer device. You might also choose
+to compile fbcon as a kernel module or place it permanently in the kernel.
+
+I do not know of any way to unload fbcon, and fbcon will prevent the
+framebuffer device loaded first from unloading. [If there is a way, then
+please add a description here!]
+
+Module unloading, the vesafb method
+===================================
+
+Configure the kernel:
+
+	<*> Support for frame buffer devices
+	[*]   VESA VGA graphics support
+	<M>   Cyberblade/i1 support
+
+Add e.g. "video=vesafb:ypan vga=0x307" to the kernel parameters. The ypan
+parameter is important, choose any vga parameter you like as long as it is
+a graphics mode.
+
+After booting, load cyblafb without any mode and bpp parameter and assign
+cyblafb to individual ttys using con2fb, e.g.:
+
+	modprobe cyblafb vesafb=1
+	con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
+
+Unloading cyblafb works without problems after you assign vesafb to all
+ttys again, e.g.:
+
+	con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
+	rmmod cyblafb

+I tried the following framebuffer drivers:
+
+	- TRIDENTFB is full of bugs. Acceleration is broken for Blade3D
+	  graphics cores like the cyberblade/i1. It claims to support a great
+	  number of devices, but documentation for most of these devices is
+	  unfortunately not available. There is _no_ reason to use tridentfb
+	  for cyberblade/i1 + CRT users. VESAFB is faster, and the one
+	  advantage, mode switching, is broken in tridentfb.
+
+	- VESAFB is used by many distributions as a standard. Vesafb does
+	  not support mode switching. VESAFB is a bit faster than the working
+	  configurations of TRIDENTFB, but it is still too slow, even if you
+	  use ypan.
+
+	- EPIAFB (you'll find it on sourceforge) supports the Cyberblade/i1
+	  graphics core, but it still has serious bugs and developement seems
+	  to have stopped. This is the one driver with TV-out support. If you
+	  do need this feature, try epiafb.
+
+None of these drivers was a real option for me.
+
+I believe that is unreasonable to change code that announces to support 20
+devices if I only have more or less sufficient documentation for exactly one
+of these. The risk of breaking device foo while fixing device bar is too high.
+
+So I decided to start CyBlaFB as a stripped down tridentfb.
+
+All code specific to other Trident chips has been removed. After that there
+were a lot of cosmetic changes to increase the readability of the code. All
+register names were changed to those mnemonics used in the datasheet. Function
+and macro names were changed if they hindered easy understanding of the code.
+
+After that I debugged the code and implemented some new features. I'll try to
+give a little summary of the main changes:
+
+	- calculation of vertical and horizontal timings was fixed
+
+	- video signal quality has been improved dramatically
+
+	- acceleration:
+
+		- fillrect and copyarea were fixed and reenabled
+
+		- color expanding imageblit was newly implemented, color
+		  imageblit (only used to draw the penguine) still uses the
+		  generic code.
+
+		- init of the acceleration engine was improved and moved to a
+		  place where it really works ...
+
+		- sync function has a timeout now and tries to reset and
+		  reinit the accel engine if necessary
+
+		- fewer slow copyarea calls when doing ypan scrolling by using
+		  undocumented bit d21 of screen start address stored in
+		  CR2B[5]. BIOS does use it also, so this should be safe.
+
+	- cyblafb rejects any attempt to set modes that would cause vclk
+	  values above reasonable 230 MHz. 32bit modes use a clock
+	  multiplicator of 2, so fbset does show the correct values for
+	  pixclock but not for vclk in this case. The fbset limit is 115 MHz
+	  for 32 bpp modes.
+
+	- cyblafb rejects modes known to be broken or unimplemented (all
+	  interlaced modes, all doublescan modes for now)
+
+	- cyblafb now works independant of the video mode in effect at startup
+	  time (tridentfb does not init all needed registers to reasonable
+	  values)
+
+	- switching between video modes does work reliably now
+
+	- the first video mode now is the one selected on startup using the
+	  vga=???? mechanism or any of
+		- 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
+		- 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp
+		- refresh between 50 Hz and 85 Hz, 1 Hz steps (1280x1024-32
+		  is limited to 63Hz)
+
+	- pci retry and pci burst mode are settable (try to disable if you
+	  experience latency problems)
+
+	- built as a module cyblafb might be unloaded and reloaded using
+	  the vfb module and con2vt or might be used together with vesafb
