[PATCH 0/3] Split VGA default selection from VGA arbiter

[Daniel Axtens]

This is approach 3 of my patch series to sort out Xorg
autoconfiguration for the Hibmc card beind a Hisilicon bridge on
arm64.

Approach 1 was a simple quirk for the card+bridge to mark it as
default. This higlighted the fact that the default card was picked by
the arbiter, which assumed legacy resources. The lack of legacy
resources leads to quirks in ppc and concerns in arm land, so a more
generic approach was desired.

Approach 2 allowed platforms to opt in to a class enable hook that
added a card as default if there was no default. This:

 - was possibly racy as ACPI PCI init and vgaarb are both subsys
   initcalls.

 - didn't check to see if a card had a driver.

 - meant that platforms for which the vga arbiter didn't make sense
   still needed it.

This is approach 3. It pulls the default handling out of the arbiter,
into its own file and behind its own Kconfig option. It adds the extra
detection as a late initcall and an enable hook that only operates
after the initcall, so it's not racy. It checks for drivers. It means
people can turn off the vga arbiter. It works sensibly for modules
too.

Patch 1 cleans up the powerpc fixup, as with approach 2.
Patch 2 is the big split.
Patch 3 moves ppc over, as with approach 2.
There is no need for an arm-specific patch this time as the Kconfig option
is on by default.

Regards,
Daniel

[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: simplify and fix VGA default device behaviour

[Daniel Axtens]

Some powerpc devices provide a PCI display that isn't picked up by
the VGA arbiter, presumably because it doesn't support the PCI
legacy VGA ranges.

Commit c2e1d84523ad ("powerpc: Set default VGA device") introduced
an arch quirk to mark these devices as default to fix X autoconfig.

The commit message stated that the patch:

    Ensures a default VGA is always set if a graphics adapter is present,
    even if firmware did not initialize it. If more than one graphics
    adapter is present, ensure the one initialized by firmware is set
    as the default VGA device.

The patch used the following test to decide whether or not to mark
a device as default:

  pci_read_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, &cmd);
  if ((cmd & (PCI_COMMAND_IO | PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY)) || !vga_default_device())
          vga_set_default_device(pdev);

This doesn't seem like it works quite as intended. Because of the
logical OR, the default device will be set in 2 cases:

 1) if there is no default device
OR
 2) if this device has normal memory/IO decoding turned on

This will work as intended if there is only one device, but if
there are multiple devices, we may override the device the VGA
arbiter picked.

Instead, set a device as default if there is no default device AND
this device decodes.

This will not change behaviour on single-headed systems.

Tested in TCG (the card provided by qemu doesn't automatically
register with vgaarb, so the relevant code path has been tested)
but I would appreciate any tests on real hardware.

[PATCH 2/3] Split VGA default device handler out of VGA arbiter

[Daniel Axtens]

A system without PCI legacy resources (e.g. ARM64, powerpc) may
find that no default/boot VGA device has been marked, because the
VGA arbiter checks for legacy resource decoding before marking a
card as default.

Split the small bit of code that does default VGA handling out from
the arbiter. Add a Kconfig option to allow the kernel to be built
with just the default handling, or the arbiter and default handling.
(You can try with the arbiter and no default handling - I can't see
why that wouldn't work but it seems a bit odd to try.)

Add handling for devices that should be marked as default but aren't
handled by the vga arbiter by adding a late initcall and a class
enable hook. If there is no default from vgaarb then the first card
that is enabled, has a driver bound, and can decode memory or I/O
will be marked as default.

I haven't tested this particularly deeply just yet as I wanted to
see if anyone had Strong Feelings before I put too much time into
testing. I have verified that it works on ppc with qemu TCG, both
with and without the following patch.

I know this adds another config option and that's a bit sad, but
we can't include it unconditionally as it depends on PCI.
Suggestions welcome.

[PATCH 2/3] Split VGA default device handler out of VGA arbiter

[Daniel Axtens]

A system without PCI legacy resources (e.g. ARM64, powerpc) may
find that no default/boot VGA device has been marked, because the
VGA arbiter checks for legacy resource decoding before marking a
card as default.

Split the small bit of code that does default VGA handling out from
the arbiter. Add a Kconfig option to allow the kernel to be built
with just the default handling, or the arbiter and default handling.
(You can try with the arbiter and no default handling - I can't see
why that wouldn't work but it seems a bit odd to try.)

Add handling for devices that should be marked as default but aren't
handled by the vga arbiter by adding a late initcall and a class
enable hook. If there is no default from vgaarb then the first card
that is enabled, has a driver bound, and can decode memory or I/O
will be marked as default.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>

I haven't tested this particularly deeply just yet as I wanted to
see if anyone had Strong Feelings before I put too much time into
testing. I have verified that it works on ppc with qemu TCG, both
with and without the following patch.

I know this adds another config option and that's a bit sad, but
we can't include it unconditionally as it depends on PCI.
Suggestions welcome.

[PATCH 2/3] Split VGA default device handler out of VGA arbiter

[Daniel Axtens]

A system without PCI legacy resources (e.g. ARM64, powerpc) may
find that no default/boot VGA device has been marked, because the
VGA arbiter checks for legacy resource decoding before marking a
card as default.

Split the small bit of code that does default VGA handling out from
the arbiter. Add a Kconfig option to allow the kernel to be built
with just the default handling, or the arbiter and default handling.
(You can try with the arbiter and no default handling - I can't see
why that wouldn't work but it seems a bit odd to try.)

Add handling for devices that should be marked as default but aren't
handled by the vga arbiter by adding a late initcall and a class
enable hook. If there is no default from vgaarb then the first card
that is enabled, has a driver bound, and can decode memory or I/O
will be marked as default.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>

I haven't tested this particularly deeply just yet as I wanted to
see if anyone had Strong Feelings before I put too much time into
testing. I have verified that it works on ppc with qemu TCG, both
with and without the following patch.

I know this adds another config option and that's a bit sad, but
we can't include it unconditionally as it depends on PCI.
Suggestions welcome.

[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: replace vga_fixup() with generic code

[Daniel Axtens]

Currently, we do a PCI fixup to mark a default card so that Xorg
autoconfiguration works.

There is a new generic method to do this sort of vga fixup, and
it occurs by default.

Drop our old method.

This method is different:
 - it will only mark a card as default if a driver is bound
 - the marking will happen at late_initcall time, or even later
   if a card is enabled later on (via an ENABLE hook). Currently
   things are enabled in a FINAL hook.

This *does* change behaviour under some circumstances.

For example, pseries_le_defconfig doesn't have DRM drivers for
many of the qemu GPU models, including the 'standard' vga. So
when a VM with that GPU boots, no driver binds the GPU, and
it does *not* get marked as default. Previously, it would have
been marked as default.

As it turns out Xorg (at least Xorg v1.19.3) can still
autoconfigure it, as Xorg is smart about OpenFirmware
framebuffer devices.

If the right GPU driver is available, and the OpenFirmware fb
driver is removed, the device *is* marked as a boot GPU. (If the
OpenFirmware driver is around, it enables the PCI device but
doesn't bind to it, making it ineligible to be the default card.
Then, when the right driver is loaded, the enable hook doesn't fire
because the card has already been enabled. Fun!) So everything
works as intended, I guess.

[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: replace vga_fixup() with generic code

[Daniel Axtens]

Currently, we do a PCI fixup to mark a default card so that Xorg
autoconfiguration works.

There is a new generic method to do this sort of vga fixup, and
it occurs by default.

Drop our old method.

This method is different:
 - it will only mark a card as default if a driver is bound
 - the marking will happen at late_initcall time, or even later
   if a card is enabled later on (via an ENABLE hook). Currently
   things are enabled in a FINAL hook.

This *does* change behaviour under some circumstances.

For example, pseries_le_defconfig doesn't have DRM drivers for
many of the qemu GPU models, including the 'standard' vga. So
when a VM with that GPU boots, no driver binds the GPU, and
it does *not* get marked as default. Previously, it would have
been marked as default.

As it turns out Xorg (at least Xorg v1.19.3) can still
autoconfigure it, as Xorg is smart about OpenFirmware
framebuffer devices.

If the right GPU driver is available, and the OpenFirmware fb
driver is removed, the device *is* marked as a boot GPU. (If the
OpenFirmware driver is around, it enables the PCI device but

Would it be feasible to just sprinkle some "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86))"
over the portions of vgaarb.c that deal with legacy resources?

I'm missing some context as to the negative consequences you're
experiencing on other arches (the cover letter merely refers to
"quirks in ppc and concerns in arm land" and is missing links to
archived versions of v1 and v2), but clearly legacy resources are
x86-specific so any code dealing with them seems superfluous on
other arches and should be marked as such.

Quirk/v1: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg62865.html
Approach 2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg63092.html
            https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg63083.html

The quirk in powerpc land that I'm referring to is
arch/powerpc/kernel/pci-common.c::fixup_vga() which is a class enable
hook that marks the first VGA device it comes across as default if the
arbiter has not marked one.

The arm concerns are ventaliated in the threads I linked - they boil
down to "why do we need the arbiter at all on platforms without legacy
resources? Can't we do this more simply?"

> Would it be feasible to just sprinkle some "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86))"

Yes and no. That would disable the unnecessary chunks of the VGA
arbiter, but we then still have to figure out how to mark devices as
default if not with the arbiter.

Hard to say.

The 'standard' vga module (bochs_drm) was blacklisted by Ubuntu -
apparently at IBM's request [0] - some years back. Even if you
un-blacklist it, I had trouble with getting it and the openfirmware
framebuffer driver to play nicely together. It may not be worth the
trouble for bochs_drm.

There's a better case for including some of the more modern drivers -
maybe QXL and virtio - but I wasn't able to test them: my particular
build of qemu/TCG refused to start with them and I didn't feel like
rebuilding/debugging qemu.

It would also be legitmate to say that you're focussing on headless use
with pseries_*defconfig and not include them: you need to bring in the
DRM core if you want these drivers.

HTH.

Yeah OK. Sounds like a bit of mess :)

I'll leave it unless someone who knows Qemu/Gfx etc. tells me otherwise.

True. There's a bit of a tension there between making them useful
configs for developers and also turning on as much code as possible so
it gets tested.

Arguably we should have DRM enabled because the distros will.

Yeah OK. Sounds like a bit of mess :)

I'll leave it unless someone who knows Qemu/Gfx etc. tells me otherwise.

True. There's a bit of a tension there between making them useful
configs for developers and also turning on as much code as possible so
it gets tested.

Arguably we should have DRM enabled because the distros will.

This quirk only runs on VGA class devices.  If there's more than one
VGA device in the system, and we assume that firmware only enables
PCI_COMMAND_IO or PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY on "the one initialized by
firmware", which seems reasonable to me, I think the existing code
does match the commit message.

We set the first VGA device we find to be the default.  Then, if we
find another VGA device that's enabled, we make *it* the default
instead.

If there is no enabled VGA device on the system, your new code means
there will be no default VGA device.

It's not clear from this changelog what problem this patch solves.
Maybe it's the "some displays not being picked up by the VGA arbiter"
you mentioned, but there's not enough detail to connect it with the
patch, especially since the patch means we'll set the default device
in fewer cases than we did before.

With the patch, we only set the default if we find an enabled VGA
device.  Previously we also set the default if we found a VGA device
that had not been enabled.

Ah. Right you are.

My overall problem is not having default devices on some
machines. Initially, to solve this, I wanted to make this code
generic. To do that I wanted to make sure it played nice with the vga
arbiter, so not overriding default devices willy-nilly was a
requirement. Evidently, I was overly keen and restricted its behaviour
too much.

Regardless, in this current approach I don't make this powerpc code
generic after all, so this patch is unnecessary. I will remove it for
v2, which I will post after further testing.

I document the effects of the new approach for powerpc in more detail in
patch 3 of this series. If powerpc wants to keep the existing approach
we can arrange for that too; it's a simple matter of ifdefs.

Daniel
