fbdev: Do not export fbcon from fbdev

2026-06-09T14:00:11+00:00

There are no callers of fbcon outside fbdev. Move the declarations into the internal header. Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: Wrap user-invoked calls to fb_blank() in helper

2026-06-09T14:00:10+00:00

Handle fbcon during blanking in fb_blank_from_user(). First blank the hardware, then blank fbcon. Same for unblanking. Update all callers and resolve the duplicated logic. With the new helper, fbdev's sysfb code no longer maintains fbcon state by itself. Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: Wrap user-invoked calls to fb_set_var() in helper

2026-06-09T14:00:10+00:00

Handle fbcon during display updates in fb_set_var_from_user(). Check with fbcon if the mode change is possible, update hardware state and finally update fbcon. Update all callers. Only the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl currently does all steps. Other mode-changes callers in sysfs and driver code are missing fbcon-related steps. With the new helper, ps3fb and sh_mobile_lcdcfb no longer maintain fbcon state themselves. Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: Remove default file-I/O implementations

2023-11-29T11:20:53+00:00

Drop the default implementations for file read, write and mmap operations. Each fbdev driver must now provide an implementation and select any necessary helpers. If no implementation has been set, fbdev returns an errno code to user space. The code is the same as if the operation had not been set in the file_operations struct. This change makes the fbdev helpers for I/O memory optional. Most systems only use system-memory framebuffers via DRM's fbdev emulation. v2: * warn once if I/O callbacks are missing (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20231127131655.4020-33-tzimmermann@suse.de

fbdev: Move default fb_mmap code into helper function

2023-11-29T11:20:49+00:00

Move the default fb_mmap code for I/O address spaces into the helper function fb_io_mmap(). The helper can either be called via struct fb_ops.fb_mmap or as the default if no fb_mmap has been set. Also set the new helper in __FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS_MMAP. In the mid-term, fb_io_mmap() is supposed to become optional. Fbdev drivers will initialize their struct fb_ops.fb_mmap to the helper and select a corresponding Kconfig token. The helper can then be made optional at compile time.

fbdev: Push pgprot_decrypted() into mmap implementations

2023-11-29T11:20:44+00:00

If a driver sets struct fb_ops.fb_mmap, the fbdev core automatically calls pgprot_decrypted(). But the default fb_mmap code doesn't handle pgprot_decrypted(). Move the call to pgprot_decrypted() into each drivers' fb_mmap function. This only concerns fb_mmap functions for system and DMA memory. For I/O memory, which is the default case, nothing changes. The fb_mmap for I/O-memory can later be moved into a helper as well. DRM's fbdev emulation handles pgprot_decrypted() internally via the Prime helpers. Fbdev doesn't have to do anything in this case. In cases where DRM uses deferred I/O, this patch updates fb_mmap correctly.

fbdev: Replace fb_pgprotect() with pgprot_framebuffer()

2023-10-12T07:20:46+00:00

Rename the fbdev mmap helper fb_pgprotect() to pgprot_framebuffer(). The helper sets VMA page-access flags for framebuffers in device I/O memory. Also clean up the helper's parameters and return value. Instead of the VMA instance, pass the individial parameters separately: existing page-access flags, the VMAs start and end addresses and the offset in the underlying device memory rsp file. Return the new page-access flags. These changes align pgprot_framebuffer() with other pgprot_() functions. v4: * fix commit message (Christophe) v3: * rename fb_pgprotect() to pgprot_framebuffer() (Arnd) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven # m68k Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230922080636.26762-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
