For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter, while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it later to signed long again. This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g. dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncate". The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign extension for the length parameter. In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here. So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long. Cc: "H.

Unlike on most other architectures ino_t is an unsigned int on s390. So add an explicit cast to avoid this compile warning: fs/ext2/namei.c: In function 'ext2_lookup': fs/ext2/namei.c:73: warning: format '%lu' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'ino_t' Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There are a few places in the Minix FS code where the "inode" field of a minix_dir_entry is used without checking first to see if the dirent is really a minix3_dir_entry. The inode number in a V1/V2 dirent is 16 bits, whereas that in a V3 dirent is 32 bits. Accessing it as a 16 bit field when it really should be accessed as a 32 bit field probably kinda sorta works on a little-endian machine, but leads to some rather odd behaviour on big-endian machines.

fbcon makes the (reasonable) assumption that it only needs to program the hardware once, when fbcon_init() is called for the foreground console. This doesn't always play well with vgacon because vgacon_deinit() is only doing its job when the last console it owns is closed (when switching from vgacon to fbcon, that's usually *after* fbcon_init() has set the new mode). Depending on the hardware this can cause the wrong framebuffer location to be scanned out (e.g. reproduced on nv05 with the nouveau framebuffer driver).

Ian Armstrong authored
Attempting to unload a framebuffer module calls unregister_framebuffer() which in turn gets fbcon to release it. If fbcon has no framebuffers linked to a console, it will also unbind itself from the console driver. However, if fbcon never registered itself as a console driver, the unbind will fail causing the framebuffer device entry to persist. In most cases this failure will result in an oops when attempting to access the now non-existent device. This patch ensures that the fbcon unbind request will succeed even if a bind was never done. It tracks if a successful bind ever occurred & will only attempt to unbind if needed. If there never was a bind, it simply returns with no error.

I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just always enable it. There are many reasons for doing this: * CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it definitely works or we would know by now. * Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set results in the following build warning: drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open': drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true' drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release': drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true' This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build warnings are still annoying. * The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD, which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't load the same kernel module more than once. * I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says. A few extra parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access. * The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%. * One less configuration option makes things simpler. We add options all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice. It improves testing coverage. And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings. * We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after this change (patches follow.)

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. Kai Jiang detected this problem and proposed an initial patch.

However as some changes in other code areas where needed to do it right some small other changes were made. Changes to viafb_par: io_virt renamed as engine_mmio and moved to shared VQ_start renamed as vq_vram_addr and moved to shared VQ_end removed as it is easily recalculatable vq_vram_addr is not strictly needed but keep it to track where we allocated video memory. The memory allocated for the virtual queue was shrunk to VQ_SIZE as VQ_SIZE+CURSOR_SIZE looked like a bug to me. But to be honest I don't have the faintest idea what virtual queues are for in the graphic hardware and whether the driver needs them in any way. I only know that they aren't directly accessed by the driver and so the only potential current use would be as hardware internal buffers. For now keep them to avoid regressions and only remove the double cursor allocation. The most changes were caused by renames and the mentioned structure changes so the chance of regressions is pretty low. The meaning of viafb_accel changed slightly as previously it was changed back and forth in the code and allowed to enable the hardware acceleration by software if previously disabled. The new behaviour is that viafb_accel=0 always prevents hardware acceleration. With viafb_accel!=0 the acceleration can be freely choosen by set_var. This means viafb_accel is a diagnostic tool and if someone has to use viafb_accel=0 the driver needs to be fixed. As this is mostly a code cleanup no regressions beside the slightly change of viafb_accel is expected.

Split the pitch handling up and replaces the calculation from virtual xres and bpp with fix.line_length which already contains the pitch and does not add any constrains for the virtual resolution. Also add a bit to the second pitch which the documentation mentions but which was ignored by the driver. Although it is a bit unclear what the right pitch for some LCD modes is this patch should have no negative runtime impact.

Clean the hardware cursor handling up. The most notable change is that it no longer buffers the values in viacursor but uses the ones in cursor instead as they are guaranteed to be always valid. Furthermore it uses local instead global variables where possible, moves the cursor variable in shared as only one hardware cursor is supported and returns an error if memory allocation fails. Last but not least it fixes a too small buffer (as u32 has only 4 and not 32 bytes) but this did not produce any known problems. This is mostly a code cleanup, no negative runtime changes are expected.

This patch is a completly rewritten 2D engine. The engine is no longer in a default state but reinitialized every time to allow usage for both framebuffers regardless of their settings. The whole engine handling is concentrated in a big function which takes 16 parameters. Although the number of parameters is worryingly it is good to have a single funtion to deal with this stuff as it allows to easily support different engines and avoids some code duplication. On the way support for the new 2D engine in VX800 was added. As the with less code duplication but it is probably better to duplicate the code as this way is easier to walk if VIA ever decides to release a new engine which changes anything the driver touches. The engine support for VX800 gives a notable boost in speed. There are no known regressions but as this patch changes paths I do neither have the hardware nor documentation to check and has the possibility to put the system in a critical state heavy testing is appreciated.

This patch introduces viafb_shared and is the beginning of a smooth transition to use it. viafb_shared should contain all general, non-surface specific data that should be shared along all viafb framebuffers while viafb_par should only contain things that are specific to each surface or in other words extend fb_info. This change is intended to clean the dual/multi framebuffer handling up. This removes the annoyance that viafbinfo1->par points to a different structure than viaparinfo1. As the last change is fundamental it is difficult to ensure that all parts of the driver do not depend on the previous brokenness but the chance of regressions is very low.

This removes the completly useless io variable as well as the temporary used variables mmio_base and mmio_len in favor to use directly the fb_info variables.

At least for VX800 this initialization is not very good as some parts of the register are written with reserved values. This makes the display go white in some configurations and not usable until the framebuffer is removed. It's better to not initialize it as it allows to use a previously (by BIOS) correctly configured display. This patch makes some displays work but might cause problems on others. This is bad but can not be easily avoided. If this causes some regressions it's probably the best to fix it in the 'active' display setup code.

Remove everything related to video devices from the driver as it did not influence the driver operation. This patch does change the userspace behaviour as it removes two IOCTLs and one module parameter. But this is good as it removes useless stuff and helps the user to figure out the options that do affect the driver behaviour (which are still too many).

Clean the handling of ioremapped video memory up. The following changes were made: info->screen_base - viafb_FB_MM (VRAM offset calculation) was replaced by info->fix.smem_start - viafbinfo->fix.smem_start which is essentially the same calculation but done with physical instead virtual addresses. *->fbmem_virt was replaced by viafbinfo->screen_base This is true for viafbinfo and viafbinfo1 as the par pointers are equal. An early initialization of viafbinfo1->fix.smem* was removed as done later in viafb_setup_fixinfo. This patch highlights that the only usage of the ioremapped video memory in the driver is for hardware cursor handling. Even if it has to hold the used virtual screen mapped for old-fashioned read/write calls (vs. mmap'ed) a lot virtual memory could be saved by only ioremapping on demand. Code cleanup, no runtime changes expected.
