<title>fbmem: really support wildcard video=options for all fbdev drivers</title>

<id>f5d2b7c28b67d627646b6a0142bc201a7b1516b0</id>
<content type='text'>
Documentation/fb/modedb.txt states that video=option should be
considered a global option. But video_setup and fb_get_options are not
coded that way. Instead its required to boot with video=driver:option to
set a given option in drvier.  This is cumbersome because it requires to
know in advance which driver will be active for a given board/kernel.

The following patch implements the documented catchall for the fbdev
drivers. It is now possible to boot with video=XxY without the need to
know the active driver in advance. The specific case it tries to fix is
syslinux in the SUSE installer which offers a menu to set a display
resolution. Right now this just appends the vga= option the kernel. But
in addition to vga= it should be possible to pass a generic video=XxY
for all framebuffer/drm drivers. With this change forcing a certain
window size of VM displays is now much easier.

Today the video= option is stored in a global fb_mode_option. But
unfortunately only drm uses it.

Note: this change introduces a small memleak if video=option is actually
used because fb_mode_option is const. Most drivers use strsep to get to
individual options. This could be fixed in a followup patch which always
releases the option string in every caller of fb_get_options.

If we fail to remove a conflicting fb driver, we need to abort the
loading of the second driver to avoid likely kernel panics.

50e244cc79 fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
e93a9a8687 fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess
054430e773 fbcon: fix locking harder

reworked locking to fix related lock ordering on takeover, and introduced console_lock
into fbmem, but it seems that the new lock sequence(fb_info-&gt;lock ---&gt; console_lock)
is against with the one in console_callback(console_lock ---&gt; fb_info-&gt;lock), and leads to
a potential dead lock as following:

 *** DEADLOCK ***

so we reorder the lock sequence the same as it in console_callback() to
avoid this issue. And following Tomi's suggestion, fix these similar
issues all in fb subsystem.

other info that might help us debug this:

[  601.079000]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

[  601.079000]        CPU0                    CPU1
[  601.079000]        ----                    ----
[  601.079000]   lock(console_lock);
[  601.079000]                                lock(&amp;fb_info-&gt;lock);
[  601.079000]                                lock(console_lock);
[  601.079000]   lock(&amp;fb_info-&gt;lock);
[  601.079000]
 *** DEADLOCK ***

so we reorder the lock sequence the same as it in console_callback() to
avoid this issue. And following Tomi's suggestion, fix these similar
issues all in fb subsystem.

<title>fb: make fp_get_options name argument const</title>

drm_get_connector_name now returns a const value, which causes the following
compilation warning:

  drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c: In function ‘drm_fb_helper_parse_command_line’:
  drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c:127:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘fb_get_options’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
  In file included from drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c:35:0:
  include/linux/fb.h:627:12: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘const char *’

As fb_get_options uses its name argument as read only, make it const. This
fixes the aforementioned compilation warning.

copy_to_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
put_user() returns -EFAULT on error.

This function ORs a bunch of stuff together and returns jumbled non-zero
values on error.  It should return -EFAULT.

Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "This is the main drm pull request for 3.10.

  Wierd bits:
   - OMAP drm changes required OMAP dss changes, in drivers/video, so I
     took them in here.
   - one more fbcon fix for font handover
   - VT switch avoidance in pm code
   - scatterlist helpers for gpu drivers - have acks from akpm

  Highlights:
   - qxl kms driver - driver for the spice qxl virtual GPU

  Nouveau:
   - fermi/kepler VRAM compression
   - GK110/nvf0 modesetting support.

  Tegra:
   - host1x core merged with 2D engine support

  i915:
   - vt switchless resume
   - more valleyview support
   - vblank fixes
   - modesetting pipe config rework

  radeon:
   - UVD engine support
   - SI chip tiling support
   - GPU registers initialisation from golden values.

  exynos:
   - device tree changes
   - fimc block support

  Otherwise:
   - bunches of fixes all over the place."

* 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (513 commits)
  qxl: update to new idr interfaces.
  drm/nouveau: fix build with nv50-&gt;nvc0

<title>fbdev: fix check for fb_mmap's mmio availability</title>

Commit fc9bbca8f650e5f738af8806317c0a041a48ae4a (vm: convert fb_mmap to
vm_iomap_memory() helper) made fbmem.c use vm_iomap_memory, but also
accidentally removed the check for mmio's availability.

Add the check back.
