2009-04-13fbdev: fix color component field length documentationMichal Januszewski
The documentation about the meaning of the color component bitfield lengths in pseudocolor modes is inconsistent. Fix it, so that it indicates the correct interpretation everywhere, i.e. that 1 << length is the number of palette entries.

2009-02-05fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex heldAndrea Righi
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem ioctl(). fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a deadlock. NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

2007-07-17fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebufferJesse Barnes
This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers much easier, since you can properly clean them up before unloading. [adaplas] unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver. With this change, it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed. Additions from the original: If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map). Once only the outgoing driver remains, then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is set to y). It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release() just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().

Check if the mode can properly display the screen. This will be needed by drivers where the capability is not constant with each mode. The function fb_set_var() will query fbcon the requirement, then it will query the driver (via a new hook fb_get_caps()) its capability. If the driver's capability cannot handle fbcon's requirement, then fb_set_var() will fail. For example, if a particular driver supports 2 modes where: mode1 = can only display 8x16 bitmaps mode2 = can display any bitmap then if current mode = mode2 and current font = 12x22 fbset <mode1> /* mode1 cannot handle 12x22 */ fbset will fail Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

However, we have 3 drivers (hecubafb, arcfb, and vfb) where the framebuffer is allocated from system RAM (via vmalloc).

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] 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.

2006-06-25[PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computersMichael Hanselmann
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different monitors, similar to Mac OS X.

2006-03-31[PATCH] fbcon: Fix big-endian bogosity in slow_imageblit()Antonino A. Daplas
The monochrome->color expansion routine that handles bitmaps which have (widths % 8) != 0 (slow_imageblit) produces corrupt characters in big-endian. This is caused by a bogus bit test in slow_imageblit(). Fix. This patch may deserve to go to the stable tree. The code has already been well tested in little-endian machines. It's only in big-endian where there is uncertainty and Herbert confirmed that this is the correct way to go. It should not introduce regressions.

2006-01-14[PATCH] fbdev: Sanitize ->fb_mmap prototypeChristoph Hellwig
No need for a file argument. If we'd really need it it's in vma->vm_file already. gbefb and sgivwfb used to set vma->vm_file to the file argument, but the kernel alrady did that.

The ioctl and file arguments to ->fb_mmap are totally unused and there's not reason a driver should need them. Also update the ->fb_compat_ioctl prototype to be the same as ->fb_mmap.

2005-12-12[PATCH] fbdev: Fix incorrect unaligned access in little-endian machinesAntonino A. Daplas
The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not unsigned-long aligned. It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not complete drawn. Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines. The function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug. Aligned access should present no problems. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-12-12[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced versionKnut Petersen
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

2005-12-12[PATCH] fbcon: Add ability to save/restore graphics stateAntonino A. Daplas
Add hooks to save and restore the graphics state. These hooks are called in fbcon_blank() when entering/leaving KD_GRAPHICS mode. This is needed by savagefb at least so it can cooperate with savage_dri and by cyblafb. State save/restoration can be full or partial.
