Add a new Kconfig for the accel subsystem. The Kconfig currently contains only the basic CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL option that will be used to decide whether to compile the accel registration code. Therefore, the kconfig option is defined as bool. The accel code will be compiled as part of drm.ko and will be called directly from the DRM core code. The reason we compile it as part of drm.ko and not as a separate module is because of cyclic dependency between drm.ko and the separate module (if it would have existed). This is due to the fact that DRM core code calls accel functions and vice-versa. The accelerator devices will be exposed to the user space with a new, dedicated major number - 261. The accel init function registers the new major number as a char device and create corresponding sysfs and debugfs root entries, similar to what is done in DRM init function. I added a new header called drm_accel.h to include/drm/, that will hold the prototypes of the drm_accel.c functions. In case CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL is set to 'N', that header will contain empty inline implementations of those functions, to allow DRM core code to compile successfully without dependency on CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL. I Updated the MAINTAINERS file accordingly with the newly added folder and I have taken the liberty to appropriate the dri-devel mailing list and the dri-devel IRC channel for the accel subsystem.

These are used internally in the driver to align location based memory coherency requirements from memory allocated in the KFD with how we manage GPUVM PTEs. They are currently blocked in the GEM_CREATE IOCTL as we don't have a user right now. They are just used internally in the kernel driver for now for existing KFD memory allocations. So a change to the UAPI header, but no functional change in the UAPI.

Check the checksums of the stored IPMI data to make sure we don't read and give corrupted data back the the user. Eliminate small I2C reads, and instead read the whole Product Info Area in one go, and then extract the information we're seeking from it.

Now that we've fixed the issue with using the incorrect topology manager, we're actually grabbing the topology manager's lock - and consequently deadlocking. Luckily for us though, there's actually nothing in AMD's DSC state computation code that really should need this lock. The one exception is the mutex_lock() in dm_dp_mst_is_port_support_mode(), however we grab no locks beneath &mgr->lock there so that should be fine to leave be.

This bug hurt me. Basically, it appears that we've been grabbing the entirely wrong mutex in the MST DSC computation code for amdgpu! While we've been grabbing: amdgpu_dm_connector->mst_mgr That's zero-initialized memory, because the only connectors we'll ever actually be doing DSC computations for are MST ports. Which have mst_mgr zero-initialized, and instead have the correct topology mgr pointer located at: amdgpu_dm_connector->mst_port->mgr; I'm a bit impressed that until now, this code has managed not to crash anyone's systems! It does seem to cause a warning in LOCKDEP though: [ 66.637670] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) This was causing the problems that appeared to have been introduced by: commit 4d07b0bc ("drm/display/dp_mst: Move all payload info into the atomic state") This wasn't actually where they came from though. Presumably, before the only thing we were doing with the topology mgr pointer was attempting to grab mst_mgr->lock. Since the above commit however, we grab much more information from mst_mgr including the atomic MST state and respective modesetting locks. This patch also implies that up until now, it's quite likely we could be susceptible to race conditions when going through the MST topology state for DSC computations since we technically will not have grabbed any lock when going through it. So, let's fix this by adjusting all the respective code paths to look at the right pointer and skip things that aren't actual MST connectors from a topology.

Looks like that we're accidentally dropping a pretty important return code here. For some reason, we just return -EINVAL if we fail to get the MST topology state. This is wrong: error codes are important and should never be squashed without being handled, which here seems to have the potential to cause a deadlock.

It appears that amdgpu makes the mistake of completely ignoring the return values from the DP MST helpers, and instead just returns a simple true/false. In this case, it seems to have come back to bite us because as a result of simply returning false from compute_mst_dsc_configs_for_state(), amdgpu had no way of telling when a deadlock happened from these helpers. This could definitely result in some kernel splats.

We've used a temporary platform device for firmware EDID loading since it was introduced in commit da0df92b ("drm: allow loading an EDID as firmware to override broken monitor"), but there's no explanation why. Using a temporary device does not play well with CONFIG_FW_CACHE=y, which caches firmware images (e.g. on suspend) so that drivers can request firmware when the system is not ready for it, and return the images from the cache (e.g. during resume). This works automatically for regular devices, but obviously not for a temporarily created device. Stop using the throwaway platform device, and use the drm device instead. Note that this may still be problematic for cases where the display was plugged in during suspend, and the firmware wasn't loaded and therefore not cached before suspend.

Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic graphics drivers. The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach worthwhile. With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each driver individually. The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over introducing a new one. v2: * print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge) * wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221111133024.9897-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
