offb: Fix bug in calculating requested vram size

2012-02-11T14:38:18+00:00

commit c055fe0797b7bd8f6f21a13598a55a16d5c13ae7 upstream.

We used to try to request 8 times more vram than needed, which would
fail if the card has a too small BAR (observed with qemu & kvm).

offb: Fix setting of the pseudo-palette for >8bpp

2012-02-11T14:38:17+00:00

commit 1bb0b7d21584b3f878e2bc880db62351ddee5185 upstream.

When using a >8bpp framebuffer, offb advertises truecolor, not directcolor,
and doesn't touch the color map even if it has a corresponding access method
for the real hardware.

Thus it needs to set the pseudo-palette with all 3 components of the color,
like other truecolor framebuffers, not with copies of the color index like
a directcolor framebuffer would do.

This went unnoticed for a long time because it's pretty hard to get offb
to kick in with anything but 8bpp (old BootX under MacOS will do that and
qemu does it).

carminefb: Fix module parameters permissions

2012-02-11T14:37:47+00:00

commit c84c14224bbca6ec60d5851fcc87be0e34df2f44 upstream.

The third parameter of module_param is supposed to be an octal value.
The missing leading "0" causes the following:

$ ls -l /sys/module/carminefb/parameters/
total 0
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul  8 08:55 fb_displays
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul  8 08:55 fb_mode
-rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 4096 Jul  8 08:55 fb_mode_str

After fixing the perm parameter, we get the expected:

$ ls -l /sys/module/carminefb/parameters/
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul  8 08:56 fb_displays
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul  8 08:56 fb_mode
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jul  8 08:56 fb_mode_str

fbcon: Bugfix soft cursor detection in Tile Blitting

2011-04-30T14:53:22+00:00

commit d6244bc0ed0c52a795e6f4dcab3886daf3e74fac upstream.

Use mask 0x10 for "soft cursor" detection on in function tile_cursor.
(Tile Blitting Operation in framebuffer console).

The old mask 0x01 for vc_cursor_type detects CUR_NONE, CUR_LOWER_THIRD
and every second mode value as "software cursor". This hides the cursor
for these modes (cursor.mode = 0). But, only CUR_NONE or "software cursor"
should hide the cursor.
See also 0x10 in functions add_softcursor, bit_cursor and cw_cursor.

matroxfb: fix problems with display stability

2009-12-18T21:31:04+00:00

commit 8c651311a3a08c1e4815de6933e00a760e498dae upstream.

Regression caused in 2.6.23 and then despite repeated requests never fixed
or dealt with (Petr promised to sort it in 2008 but seems to have
forgotten).

Enough is enough - remove the problem line that was added.  If it upsets
someone they've had two years to deal with it and at the very least it'll
rattle their cage and wake them up.

fbmon: work around compiler bug in gcc-4.2.4

2009-07-24T21:32:04+00:00

commit 3730793d457fed79a6d49bae72996d458c8e4f2d upstream.

There's some odd bug in gcc-4.2 where it miscompiles a simple loop whent
he loop counter is of type 'unsigned char' and it should count to 128.

The compiler will incorrectly decide that a trivial loop like this:

	unsigned char i, ...

	for (i = 0; i < 128; i++) {
		..

is endless, and will compile it to a single instruction that just
branches to itself.

This was triggered by the addition of '-fno-strict-overflow', and we
could play games with compiler versions and go back to '-fwrapv'
instead, but the trivial way to avoid it is to just make the loop
induction variable be an 'int' instead.

Thanks to Krzysztof Oledzki for reporting and testing and to Troy Moure
for digging through assembler differences and finding it.

atmel_lcdfb: correct fifo size for some products

2009-07-02T23:31:25+00:00

commit 53b7479bbdaedcc7846c66fd608fe66f1b5aa35b upstream.

Remove wrong fifo size definition for some AT91 products.

Due to a misunderstanding of some AT91 datasheets, a fifo size of 2048
(words) has been introduced by mistake.  In fact, all products (AT91/AT32)
are sharing the same fifo size of 512 words.

mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault

2009-05-20T05:20:09+00:00

commit c2ec175c39f62949438354f603f4aa170846aabb upstream


mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault

Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.
