fbcon: when font is freed, clear also vc_font.data

2013-04-24T00:43:11+00:00

commit ae1287865f5361fa138d4d3b1b6277908b54eac9

    fbcon: don't lose the console font across generic->chip driver switch

uses a pointer in vc->vc_font.data to load font into the new driver.
However if the font is actually freed, we need to clear the data
so that we don't reload font from dangling pointer.

Pull drm merge from Dave Airlie:
 "Highlights:

   - TI LCD controller KMS driver

   - TI OMAP KMS driver merged from staging

   - drop gma500 stub driver

   - the fbcon locking fixes

   - the vgacon dirty like zebra fix.

   - open firmware videomode and hdmi common code helpers

   - major locking rework for kms object handling - pageflip/cursor
     won't block on polling anymore!

   - fbcon helper and prime helper cleanups

   - i915: all over the map, haswell power well enhancements, valleyview
     macro horrors cleaned up, killing lots of legacy GTT code,

   - radeon: CS ioctl unification, deprecated UMS support, gpu reset
     rework, VM fixes

   - nouveau: reworked thermal code, external dp/tmds encoder support
     (anx9805), fences sleep instead of polling,

   - exynos: all over the driver fixes."

Lovely conflict in radeon/evergreen_cs.c between commit de0babd60d8d
("drm/radeon: enforce use of radeon_get_ib_value when reading user cmd")
and the new changes that modified that evergreen_dma_cs_parse()
function.

fbcon: clear the logo bitmap from the margin area

2013-02-22T01:22:16+00:00

Explicitly clear_margins when clearing the logo, in case the font dimensions
are non-integral to the framebuffer dimensions.

Merge branch 'console-fixes' into drm-next

2013-02-08T02:13:43+00:00

(not the fbcon maintainer pull 2)

fix bug in vgacon on bootup and fbcon losing fonts on startup.

* console-fixes: (50 commits)
  fbcon: don't lose the console font across generic->chip driver switch
  vgacon/vt: clear buffer attributes when we load a 512 character font (v2)

fbcon: fix locking harder

2013-02-08T02:02:43+00:00

Okay so Alan's patch handled the case where there was no registered fbcon,
however the other path entered in set_con2fb_map pit.

In there we called fbcon_takeover, but we also took the console lock in a couple
of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map,

this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier
entry points that lead to this.

This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten.

fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess

2013-02-08T02:02:41+00:00

I've still got lockdep warnings even after Alan's patch, and it seems that
yet more band aids are required to paper over similar paths for
unbind_con_driver() and unregister_con_driver().  After this hack, lockdep
warnings are finally gone.

fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover

2013-02-08T02:02:40+00:00

Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.

This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.

fbcon: don't lose the console font across generic->chip driver switch

2013-02-07T02:37:19+00:00

If grub2 loads efifb/vesafb, then when systemd starts it can set the console
font on that framebuffer device, however when we then load the native KMS
driver, the first thing it does is tear down the generic framebuffer driver.

The thing is the generic code is doing the right thing, it frees the font
because otherwise it would leak memory. However we can assume that if you
are removing the generic firmware driver (vesa/efi/offb), that a new driver
*should* be loading soon after, so we effectively leak the font.

However the old code left a dangling pointer in vc->vc_font.data and we
can now reuse that dangling pointer to load the font into the new
driver, now that we aren't freeing it.

fbcon: fix race condition between console lock and cursor timer (v1.1)

2012-08-22T04:00:35+00:00

So we've had a fair few reports of fbcon handover breakage between
efi/vesafb and i915 surface recently, so I dedicated a couple of
days to finding the problem.

Essentially the last thing we saw was the conflicting framebuffer
message and that was all.

So after much tracing with direct netconsole writes (printks
under console_lock not so useful), I think I found the race.

Thread A (driver load)    Thread B (timer thread)
  unbind_con_driver ->              |
  bind_con_driver ->                |
  vc->vc_sw->con_deinit ->          |
  fbcon_deinit ->                   |
  console_lock()                    |
      |                             |
      |                       fbcon_flashcursor timer fires
      |                       console_lock() <- blocked for A
      |
      |
fbcon_del_cursor_timer ->
  del_timer_sync
  (BOOM)

Of course because all of this is under the console lock,
we never see anything, also since we also just unbound the active
console guess what we never see anything.

Hopefully this fixes the problem for anyone seeing vesafb->kms
driver handoff.

v1.1: add comment suggestion from Alan.
