linux-stable.git/drivers/video/fbdev/efifb.c, branch v3.16.78 Linux kernel stable tree fbdev/efifb: Fix 16 color palette entry calculation 2017-02-23T03:53:53+00:00 Max Staudt mstaudt@suse.de 2016-06-13T17:15:59+00:00 ef70fd11f507619530238f3cd990616f4612a63d commit d50b3f43db739f03fcf8c0a00664b3d2fed0496e upstream. When using efifb with a 16-bit (5:6:5) visual, fbcon's text is rendered in the wrong colors - e.g. text gray (#aaaaaa) is rendered as green (#50bc50) and neighboring pixels have slightly different values (such as #50bc78). The reason is that fbcon loads its 16 color palette through efifb_setcolreg(), which in turn calculates a 32-bit value to write into memory for each palette index. Until now, this code could only handle 8-bit visuals and didn't mask overlapping values when ORing them. With this patch, fbcon displays the correct colors when a qemu VM is booted in 16-bit mode (in GRUB: "set gfxpayload=800x600x16").

commit d50b3f43db739f03fcf8c0a00664b3d2fed0496e upstream.

When using efifb with a 16-bit (5:6:5) visual, fbcon's text is rendered
in the wrong colors - e.g. text gray (#aaaaaa) is rendered as green
(#50bc50) and neighboring pixels have slightly different values
(such as #50bc78).

The reason is that fbcon loads its 16 color palette through
efifb_setcolreg(), which in turn calculates a 32-bit value to write
into memory for each palette index.
Until now, this code could only handle 8-bit visuals and didn't mask
overlapping values when ORing them.

With this patch, fbcon displays the correct colors when a qemu VM is
booted in 16-bit mode (in GRUB: "set gfxpayload=800x600x16").

x86, ia64: Move EFI_FB vga_default_device() initialization to pci_vga_fixup() 2014-10-09T19:23:49+00:00 Bruno Prémont bonbons@linux-vserver.org 2014-06-24T22:55:01+00:00 7babfd7f066dae02c63d9ccac886419ccfb80cfd commit 20cde694027e7477cc532833e38ab9fcaa83fb64 upstream. Commit b4aa0163056b ("efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)") added efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the corresponding PCI device. Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such as MacBookAir2,1. Xorg detects the GPU and finds the DRI device but then bails out with "no devices detected". Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute reflects its state. When unset this attribute is 1 whenever IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set. With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb optional. Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or

Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such

bails out with "no devices detected".

Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute

IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.

With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete
while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb
optional.

Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize
vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot
screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev 2014-04-17T05:10:19+00:00 Tomi Valkeinen tomi.valkeinen@ti.com 2014-02-13T13:31:38+00:00 f7018c21350204c4cf628462f229d44d03545254 The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev device drivers, fbdev framework files. Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev directory, and move all fbdev related files there. No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this patch.
