[PATCH 2/6] drm: fourcc byteorder: add DRM_FORMAT_CPU_*

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Add fourcc variants in cpu byte order.  With these at hand we don't
need #ifdefs in drivers want support framebuffers in cpu endianess.

[PATCH 6/6] drm: fourcc byteorder: virtio restrict to XRGB8888

[Gerd Hoffmann]

While wading through the code I've noticed we have a little issue in
virtio:  We attach a format to the bo when it is created
(DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB), not when we map it as framebuffer
(DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB).

Easy way out:  support a single format only.

Just to reiterate, this won't work for the radeon driver, which programs
the GPU to use (effectively, per the current definition that these are
little endian GPU formats) DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 with pre-R600 and
DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 with >= R600.

BTW, endianness as a concept cannot apply to 8 or 24 bpp formats.

To 8bpp no, but it can easily apply to 24bpp. Same was as it applies to
16bpp. Neither matches the word size of the CPU or anything like that
but still the bytes have to stored in memory in some order.

Any byte swapping rips apart the bytes of a 24bpp pixel, so those
formats only make sense as straight array formats.

Hmm, ok, how does bigendian fbdev emulation work on pre-R600 then?

I could move the 8 bpp case out of the #ifdef somehow, but code
readability will suffer then I think ...

For 24 we have different byte orderings, but yes, you can't switch from
one to the other with byteswapping.  Probably one of the reasons why
this format is pretty much out of fashion these days ...

cheers,
  Gerd

Using a GPU byte swapping mechanism which only affects CPU access to
video RAM.

How so?

At least it would make clearer which formats are affected by endianness
and which aren't.

That is done using the RADEON_TILING_SWAP_{16,32}BIT flag mentioned in
another thread?

Ok, so the cpu view to fbdev is DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 in all cases.

What about dumb bos?  You've mentioned the swap flag isn't used for
those.  Which implies they are in little endian byte order (both gpu and
cpu view).  Does the modesetting driver work correctly on that hardware?

cheers,
  Gerd

How about something like this?

	uint32_t drm_mode_legacy_fb_format(uint32_t bpp, uint32_t depth)
	{
		uint32_t fmt;
	#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN
		enum { LITTLE_ENDIAN = 0 };
	#else
		enum { LITTLE_ENDIAN = 1 };
	#endif
	/* ... */

(using an enum for compile-time constness)

and then
	fmt = DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888;
becomes
	fmt = LITTLE_ENDIAN ? DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888 : DRM_FORMAT_BGRA8888;

Might be easier to read than duplicating the whole switch?

Well, there are more differences, like rgb565 and xrgb2101010 not being
supported for bigendian, so it isn't *that* simple.

In my book little endian just means "lsb is stored in the lowest
memory address". The fact that your CPU/GPU can't do 3 byte swaps
is not relevant for that definition IMO.

Right.

Right, AFAICT from looking at the code.

Not sure.

Ok.

And I also don't see an easy way to make them big endian (cpu view)
using swapping with the existing drm interfaces, given we apply a format
when we put the bo into use as framebuffer, not when creating it.  So
userspace can: (1) create dumb bo, (2) map bo, (3) write something bo,
(4) create fb + attach to crtc.  And at (3) we don't know the format
yet, so we can't configure swapping accordingly.

So just not using the swapping indeed looks like the only sensible
option.  Which in turn implies there is no BGRA8888 support for dumb
bos.  Hmm, I can see the problem.  Userspace expectation appears to be
that ADDFB configures a native endian framebuffer, which the driver
simply can't do on bigendian.

So, what can/should the driver do here?  Throw errors for ADDFB and
force userspace to use ADDFB2?  From a design point of view the best
option, but in the other hand I suspect that could break the xorg radeon
driver ...

Yes, it would.

One thing we could do is provide a way for userspace to query the
effective format(s) as seen by the GPU and/or CPU.

It might also make sense for the radeon driver to set the
RADEON_TILING_SWAP_{16,32}BIT flags for dumb BOs. I wonder about the
status of apps using dumb BOs directly wrt this discussion.

We already have almost no testing on bigendian.  I doubt adding generic
interfaces specifically to handle this case is going to work because
most userspace will simply not implement that correctly (or at all).

Having support for this in the radeon ioctls might work, because only
radeon kernel + xorg driver have to get things right then.  But I
suspect we already have that.  You've mentioned elsewhere in the thread
that the xorg driver doesn't turn on byteswapping, so the ability to
configure that seems to be somewhere in the API ...

That could work.  But I guess someone with test hardware needs to try,
to make sure we don't miss corner cases here.
