2006-06-26[PATCH] VT binding: Update fbcon to support bindingAntonino A. Daplas
The control for binding/unbinding is moved from fbcon to the console layer. Thus the fbcon sysfs attributes, attach and detach, are also gone. 1. Add a notifier event that tells fbcon if a framebuffer driver has been unregistered. If no registered driver remains, fbcon will unregister itself from the console layer. 2. Replaced calls to give_up_console() with unregister_con_driver(). 3. Still use take_over_console() instead of register_con_driver() to maintain compatibility 4. Respect the parameter first_fb_vc and last_fb_vc instead of using 0 and MAX_NR_CONSOLES - 1. These parameters are settable by the user. 5. When fbcon is completely unbound from the console layer, fbcon will also release (iow, decrement module reference counts to zero) all fbdev drivers. In other words, a bind or unbind request from the console layer will propagate down to the framebuffer drivers. 6. If fbcon is not bound to the console, it will ignore all notifier events (except driver registration and unregistration) and all sysfs requests.

2006-06-26[PATCH] VT binding: Add binding/unbinding support for the VT consoleAntonino A. Daplas
The framebuffer console is now able to dynamically bind and unbind from the VT console layer. Due to the way the VT console layer works, the drivers themselves decide when to bind or unbind. However, it was decided that binding must be controlled, not by the drivers themselves, but by the VT console layer. With this, dynamic binding is possible for all VT console drivers, not just fbcon. Thus, the VT console layer will impose the following to all VT console drivers: - all registered VT console drivers will be entered in a private list - drivers can register themselves to the VT console layer, but they cannot decide when to bind or unbind. (Exception: To maintain backwards compatibility, take_over_console() will automatically bind the driver after registration.) - drivers can remove themselves from the list by unregistering from the VT console layer. A prerequisite for unregistration is that the driver must not be bound. The following functions are new in the vt.c: register_con_driver() - public function, this function adds the VT console driver to an internal list maintained by the VT console bind_con_driver() - private function, it binds the driver to the console take_over_console() is changed to call register_con_driver() followed by a bind_con_driver(). This is the only time drivers can decide when to bind to the VT layer. This is to maintain backwards compatibility. unbind_con_driver() - private function, it unbinds the driver from its console. The vacated consoles will be taken over by the default boot console driver. unregister_con_driver() - public function, removes the driver from the internal list maintained by the VT console. It will only succeed if the driver is currently unbound. con_is_bound() checks if the driver is currently bound or not give_up_console() is just a wrapper to unregister_con_driver(). There are also 3 additional functions meant to be called only by the tty layer for sysfs control: vt_bind() - calls bind_con_driver() vt_unbind() - calls unbind_con_driver() vt_show_drivers() - shows the list of registered drivers Most VT console drivers will continue to work as is, but might have problems when unbinding or binding which should be fixable with minimal changes.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: update documentationAntonino A. Daplas
Update Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt on the following: 1. sysfs attributes are now located in class/graphics/fbcon 2. instructions on how to attach, detach and/or unload fbcon Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-26[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: add capability to attach/detach fbconAntonino A. Daplas
Add the ability to detach and attach the framebuffer console to and from the vt layer. This is done by echo'ing any value to sysfs attributes located in class/graphics/fbcon. The two attributes are: attach - bind fbcon to the vt layer detach - unbind fbcon from the vt layer Once fbcon is detached from the vt layer, fbcon can be unloaded if compiled as a module. This feature is quite useful for developers who work on the framebuffer or console subsystem. This is also useful for users who want to go to text mode or graphics mode without having to reboot. Directly unloading the fbcon module is not possible because the vt layer increments the module reference count for all bound consoles. Detaching fbcon decrements the module reference count to zero so unloading becomes possible. Detaching fbcon may interfere with X and/or DRM.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: sdd sysfs class device entry for fbconAntonino A. Daplas
In order for this feature to work, an interface will be needed. The most appropriate is sysfs. However, the framebuffer console has no sysfs entry yet. This will create a sysfs class device entry for fbcon under /sys/class/graphics. Add a class_device entry 'fbcon' under class 'graphics'. Console-specific attributes which where previously under class/graphics/fb[x] are moved to class/graphics/fbcon. These attributes, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all', are also renamed to 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: remove calls to pci_disable_device()Antonino A. Daplas
Detaching fbcon allows individual drivers to be unloaded. However several drivers call pci_disable_device() upon exit. This function will disable the BAR's which will kill VGA text mode and/or affect X/DRM. To prevent this, remove calls to pci_disable_device() from several drivers.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix give_up_console()Antonino A. Daplas
To allow for detaching fbcon, it must be able to give up the console. However, the function give_up_console() is plain broken. It just sets the entries in the console driver map to NULL, it leaves the vt layer without a console driver, and does not decrement the module reference count. Calling give_up_console() is guaranteed to hang the machine.. To fix this problem, ensure that the virtual consoles are not left dangling without a driver. All systems have a default boot driver (either vgacon or dummycon) which is never unloaded. For those vt's that lost their driver, the default boot driver is reassigned back to them.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix vgacon to allow retaking of the consoleAntonino A. Daplas
One of the limitations of the framebuffer console system is its inablity to unload or detach itself from the console layer. And once it loads, it also locks in framebuffer drivers preventing their unload. Although the con2fbmap utility does provide a means to unload individual drivers, it requires that at least one framebuffer driver is loaded for use by fbcon. With this change, it is possible to detach fbcon from the console layer. If it is detached, it will reattach the boot console driver (which is permanently loaded) back to the console layer so the system can continue to work. As a consequence, fbcon will also decrement its reference count of individual framebuffer drivers, allowing all of these drivers to be unloaded even if fbcon is still loaded. Unless you use drivers that restores the display to text mode (rivafb and i810fb, for example), detaching fbcon does require assistance from userspace tools (ie, vbetools) for text mode to be restored completely. Without the help of these tools, fbcon will leave the VGA console corrupted. The methods that can be used will be described in Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt. Because the vt layer also increments the module reference count for each console driver, fbcon cannot be directly unloaded. It must be detached first prior to unload. Similarly, fbcon can be reattached to the console layer without having to reload the module. A nice feature if fbcon is compiled statically. Attaching and detaching fbcon is done via sysfs attributes. A class device entry for fbcon is created in /sys/class/graphics. The two attributes that controls this feature are detach and attach. Two other attributes that are piggybacked under /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] that are fbcon-specific, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all' are moved to fbcon. They are renamed as 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively. Overall, this feature is a great help for developers working in the framebuffer or console layer. There is not need to continually reboot the kernel for every small change. It is also useful for regular users who wants to choose between a graphical console or a text console without having to reboot. Example usage for x86: /* start in text mode */ modprobe xxxfb modprobe fbcon /* graphical mode with fbcon using xxxfb */ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/detach /* back to text mode, will produce corrupt display unless vbetool is used */ rmmod xxxfb modprobe yyyfb /* back to graphical mode with fbcon using yyyfb */ Before trying out this feature, please read Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt. This patch: In order for fbcon to detach itself from the console layer, vgacon, which is a boot console driver, must be fixed so it can retake the console multiple times, not just during init. The following needs to be done: - remove __init from the vgacon_startup, this is called again by take_over_console(). - vc->rows and vc->cols are set manually by vgacon during init. After init, vc_resize() can be used - make sure the scrollback_buffer is not reallocated Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-06-26[PATCH] neofb: fix unblank logic interfering with lid toggled backlightChristian Trefzer
This is a fix for the most annoying problem that remained with neofb: After "setterm -powersave powerdown" the console blanker will disable the backlight after the given timeout expires. If this happens after the lid has been shut, we read "LCD off" from the register and store that in the driver. Once the lid is opened, the backlight turns on, but any key press that would awaken the blanked console will switch the backlight off again. The workaround so far was to use the "display config toggle" Fn key combo - once if no external display is attached, otherwise as often as required to restore the desired display setup. The following patch fixes the issue at least for the LCD-only case, with no external monitor attached. Other display setup permutations are pending further testing, but so far I can guarantee at least no negative change in behaviour, if any at all.

2006-06-26[PATCH] fbdev: More accurate sync range extrapolationAntonino A. Daplas
The EDID block should specify the display's operating limits (vertical and horizontal sync ranges, and maximum dot clock). If not given by the EDID block, the ranges are extrapolated from the modelist. However, the computation used is only a rough approximation, and the resulting values may not reflect the actual capability of the display. This problem is frequently encountered when the EDID block has a single entry, the single mode entry will fail validation. To prevent this, calculate the values based on the same method used in fb_validate_mode().

2006-06-26[PATCH] savagefb: Add state save and_restore hooksAntonino A. Daplas
Reported by: Rich (Bugzilla Bug 6417) "if savage driver is used in x.org together with savagefb, it results in seriously garbled and distorted screen - coupled with severe slowdowns." This bug is the result of Xorg unable to handle savagefb altering the hardware which results in X failing to start properly and/or failed console switching. Add savagefb_state_save and savagefb_state_restore. These hooks will only save and restore the extended VGA registers. Standard VGA registers will be left alone. This is enough to make savagefb play nicely with the latest Xorg savage driver, and perhaps with savage DRI. (Transient screen artifacts may appear before X loads and during console switches). (Unfortunately, blanking the screen also leaves Xorg in a blanked state, so I have to unblank the screen before Xorg loads. So I doubt if the transient screen artifacts will be completely invisible but hopefully it will only be for a shorter duration (not much).)

2006-06-26[PATCH] savagefb: Allocate space for current and saved register statesAntonino A. Daplas
Allocate space for 2 register states: 'current' for the current state of the hardware, and 'saved', to be used for restoring the hardware to a sane state. This is in preparation for the addition of state save and restore hooks to make savagefb work together with the latest Xorg savage driver.

But ide_dump_ata[pi]_status() doesnt do that - it enables interrupts specifically. That is a no-no - what guarantees that another IDE port couldnt generate an IDE interrupt while we are dumping this error? The fix is to turn the irq-enabling in these functions into irq-disabling.
