* drm/ast: switch to drm_*_get(), drm_*_put() helpersCihangir Akturk2017-08-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use drm_*_get() and drm_*_put() helpers instead of drm_*_reference() and drm_*_unreference() helpers. drm_*_reference() and drm_*_unreference() functions are just compatibility alias for drm_*_get() and drm_*_put() and should not be used by new code. So convert all users of compatibility functions to use the new APIs.

* drm/<drivers>: Drop fbdev info flagsDaniel Vetter2017-07-261-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT has been a lie ever since we nerfed&removed the entire panic handling code in our fbdev emulation. We might restore kms panic output, but not through the bazillion of legacy code layers called fbdev/fbcon, there's just no way to make that work safely. - With the module check change FBINFO_DEFAULT is always 0, so can be removed too. That removes another change to cargo-cult stuff in kms drivers, yay!

* drm: Introduce drm_fb_helper_prepare()Thierry Reding2014-07-081-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To implement hotplug detection in a race-free manner, drivers must call drm_kms_helper_poll_init() before hotplug events can be triggered. Such events can be triggered right after any of the encoders or connectors are initialized. At the same time, if the drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event() helper is used by a driver, then the poll helper requires some parts of the FB helper to be initialized to prevent a crash. At the same time, drm_fb_helper_init() requires information that is not necessarily available at such an early stage (number of CRTCs and connectors), so it cannot be used yet. Add a new helper, drm_fb_helper_prepare(), that initializes the bare minimum needed to allow drm_kms_helper_poll_init() to execute and any subsequent hotplug events to be processed properly.

* drm: revamp framebuffer cleanup interfacesDaniel Vetter2013-01-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have two classes of framebuffer - Created by the driver (atm only for fbdev), and the driver holds onto the last reference count until destruction. - Created by userspace and associated with a given fd. These framebuffers will be reaped when their assoiciated fb is closed. Now these two cases are set up differently, the framebuffers are on different lists and hence destruction needs to clean up different things. Also, for userspace framebuffers we remove them from any current usage, whereas for internal framebuffers it is assumed that the driver has done this already. Long story short, we need two different ways to cleanup such drivers. Three functions are involved in total: - drm_framebuffer_remove: Convenience function which removes the fb from all active usage and then drops the passed-in reference. - drm_framebuffer_unregister_private: Will remove driver-private framebuffers from relevant lists and drop the corresponding references. Should be called for driver-private framebuffers before dropping the last reference (or like for a lot of the drivers where the fbdev is embedded someplace else, before doing the cleanup manually). - drm_framebuffer_cleanup: Final cleanup for both classes of fbs, should be called by the driver's ->destroy callback once the last reference is gone. This patch just rolls out the new interfaces and updates all drivers (by adding calls to drm_framebuffer_unregister_private at all the right places)- no functional changes yet. Follow-on patches will move drm core code around and update the lifetime management for framebuffers, so that we are no longer required to keep framebuffers alive by locking mode_config.mutex. I've also updated the kerneldoc already. vmwgfx seems to again be a bit special, at least I haven't figured out how the fbdev support in that driver works. It smells like it's external though. v2: The i915 driver creates another private framebuffer in the load-detect code. Adjust its cleanup code, too.

* drm: Initial KMS driver for AST (ASpeed Technologies) 2000 series (v2)Dave Airlie2012-05-171-0/+341
This is the initial driver for the Aspeed Technologies chips found in servers. This driver supports the AST 2000, 2100, 2200, 2150 and 2300. It doesn't support the AST11xx due to lack of hw to test it on, and them requiring different codepaths. This driver is intended to be used with xf86-video-modesetting in userspace. This driver has a slightly different design than other KMS drivers, but future server chips will probably share similiar setup. As these GPUs commonly have low video RAM, it doesn't make sense to put the kms console in VRAM always. This driver places the kms console into system RAM, and does dirty updates to a copy in video RAM. When userspace sets a new scanout buffer, it forcefully evicts the video RAM console, and X can create a framebuffer that can use all of of video RAM. This driver uses TTM but in a very simple fashion to control the eviction to system RAM of the console, and multiple servers. v2: add s/r support, fix Kconfig.
