James Hogan f11b478d46 fbmem: fix fb_read, fb_write unaligned accesses
fb_{read,write} access the framebuffer using lots of fb_{read,write}l's
but don't check that the file position is aligned which can cause problems
on some architectures which do not support unaligned accesses.

Since the operations are essentially memcpy_{from,to}io, new
fb_memcpy_{from,to}fb macros have been defined and these are used instead.

For Sparc, fb_{read,write} macros use sbus_{read,write}, so this defines
new sbus_memcpy_{from,to}io functions the same as memcpy_{from,to}io but
using sbus_{read,write}b instead of {read,write}b.

Arnd Bergmann 6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Daniel De Graaf c07fbfd17e fbmem: VM_IO set, but not propagated
When we setup up the VMA flags for the mmap flag and we end up using the
fallback mmap functionality we set the vma->vm_flags |= VM_IO.  However we
neglect to propagate the flag to the vma->vm_page_prot.

This bug was found when Linux kernel was running under Xen.  In that
scenario, any page that has VM_IO flag to it, means that it MUST be a
MMIO/VRAM backend memory , _not_ System RAM.  That is what the fbmem.c
does: sets VM_IO, ioremaps the region - everything is peachy.

Well, not exactly.  The vm_page_prot does not get the relevant PTE flags
set (_PAGE_IOMAP) which under Xen is a death-kneel to pages that are
referencing real physical devices but don't have that flag set.

This patch fixes this.

Marcin Slusarz 06415c564f fbmem, drm/nouveau: kick firmware framebuffers as soon as possible
Currently vesafb/efifb/... is kicked when hardware driver is registering
framebuffer. To do it hardware must be fully functional, so there's a short
window between start of initialisation and framebuffer registration when
two drivers touch the hardware. Unfortunately sometimes it breaks nouveau
initialisation.

Fix it by kicking firmware driver(s) before we start touching the hardware.

Florian Tobias Schandinat 0fcf6ada2b fb: do not ignore fb_set_par errors
At the moment about half of the framebuffer drivers can return an error
code in fb_set_par. Until now it would be silently ignored by fbmem.c
and fbcon.c. This patch fixes fbmem.c to return the error code and
restore var on error.

But it is not clear in which video mode the device is when fb_set_par
fails.  It would be good and reasonable if it were in the old state but
there is no guarantee that this is true for all existing drivers.
Additionally print a message if a failing fb_set_par is detected in
fbmem.c or fbcon.c.

Although most errors should be caught by the previous fb_check_var some
errors can't as they are dynamic (memory allocations, ...) and can only be
detected while performing the operations which is forbidden in
fb_check_var.

This patch shouldn't have a negative impact on normal operation as all
drivers return 0 on success.  The impact in case of error depends heavily
on the driver and caller but it's expected to be better than before.

Fix the range check for panning.  The current code fails to detect some
invalid values (very high ones that can occur if an app tries to move
further up/left than 0,0) as the check uses the unknown values for
calculation so that an overflow can occur.

To fix this it is sufficient to move the calculation to the right side to
use only trusted values.

Krzysztof Helt 537a1bf059 fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap locking
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer
semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call.

Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change
so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used.  Changing of these
fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed.

This is 2.6.31 material.  It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and
register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and
register_framebuffer()).  It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and
smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

Dave Airlie 4410f39109 fbdev: add support for handoff from firmware to hw framebuffers
With KMS we have ran into an issue where we really want the KMS fb driver
to be the one running the console, so panics etc can be shown by switching
out of X etc.

However with vesafb/efifb built-in, we end up with those on fb0 and the
KMS fb driver on fb1, driving the same piece of hw, so this adds an fb
info flag to denote a firmware fbdev, and adds a new aperture base/size
range which can be compared when the hw drivers are installed to see if
there is a conflict with a firmware driver, and if there is the firmware
driver is unregistered and the hw driver takes over.

It uses new aperture_base/size members instead of comparing on the fix
smem_start/length, as smem_start/length might for example only cover the
first 1MB of the PCI aperture, and we could allocate the kms fb from 8MB
into the aperture, thus they would never overlap.

Andrea Righi 66c1ca0190 fbmem: fix fb_info->lock and mm->mmap_sem circular locking dependency
Fix a circular locking dependency in the frame buffer console driver
pushing down the mutex fb_info->lock.

Circular locking dependecies occur calling the blocking
fb_notifier_call_chain() with fb_info->lock held.  Notifier callbacks can
try to acquire mm->mmap_sem, while fb_mmap() acquires the locks in the
reverse order mm->mmap_sem => fb_info->lock.

Andrea Righi 1f5e31d7e5 fbmem: don't call copy_from/to_user() with mutex held
Avoid calling copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem
ioctl().

fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires
fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does
copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a
deadlock.

NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's
fb_ioctl(), so there are still potential deadlocks elsewhere.

Geert Uytterhoeven 4fb6de2561 fbdev/logo: check compatibility of main and extra logos
The code to draw penguin logos always uses some properties of the main logo.
This is incorrect if additional logos (CONFIG_FB_LOGO_EXTRA=y) have different
types than the main logo, which causes corrupted logo images.

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12181

Hence skip additional logos that are not compatible with the main logo.

Technically, it's possible to draw multiple logos of different types on
truecolor displays, but this would complicate the (already quite
complicated) logo drawing code even more.

This patch fixes a problem with Debian's linux-image-2.6.26-1-powerpc64

Geert Uytterhoeven a684e7d330 fbdev: fix fb_compat_ioctl() deadlocks
commit 3e680aae4e ("fb: convert
lock/unlock_kernel() into local fb mutex") introduced several deadlocks
in the fb_compat_ioctl() path, as mutex_lock() doesn't allow recursion,
unlike lock_kernel().  This broke frame buffer applications on 64-bit
systems with a 32-bit userland.

commit 120a37470c ("framebuffer compat_ioctl
deadlock") fixed one of the deadlocks.

This patch fixes the remaining deadlocks:
  - Revert commit 120a37470c,
  - Extract the core logic of fb_ioctl() into a new function do_fb_ioctl(),
  - Change all callsites of fb_ioctl() where info->lock is already held to
    call do_fb_ioctl() instead,
  - Add sparse annotations to all routines that take info->lock.

relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also
appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem.

races per AKPM's concerns.

Geert Uytterhoeven 90da63e546 fbdev: extract fb_show_logo_line()
The Cell Broadband Engine contains a 64-bit PowerPC core with 2 hardware
threads (called PPEs) and 8 Synergistic Processing Engines (called SPEs).
When booting Linux, 2 penguins logos are shown on the graphical console by
the standard frame buffer console logo code.

To emphasize the existence of the SPEs (which can be used under Linux), we
added a second row of (smaller) helper penguin logos, one for each SPE.

A sample screenshot can be found at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geoff/cell/debian-penguin-shot.png
(or on the ps3linux T-shirts we wore at OLS :-)

This patch:

Extract the code to draw one line of logos into fb_show_logo_line()

Jesse Barnes cfafca8067 fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebuffer
This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates
the FB layer to use it.  This makes debugging new console drivers much easier,
since you can properly clean them up before unloading.

[adaplas]
unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's
module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is
holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver.  With this change,
it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed.

Additions from the original:  If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if
one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the
outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map).   Once only the outgoing driver remains,
then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is
set to y).

It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release()
just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these
drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().
