Patch to control VGA bus routing and active VGA device.

Patch to control VGA bus routing and active VGA device.

[Jon Smirl]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1671 bytes --]

Attached is a patch to control VGA bus routing and the active VGA
device. It works by adding sysfs attributes to bridge and VGA devices.
The bridge attribute is read only and indicates if the bridge is
routing VGA. The attribute on the device has four values:

/* echo these values to the sysfs vga attribute on a VGA device */
enum eEnable {
	VGA_DISABLE_THIS = 0,	/* If this VGA is enabled, disable it. */
	VGA_ENABLE_THIS = 1,	/* Disable all VGAs then enable this VGA, mark
as active VGA */
	/* Used while resetting a board, board being reset may not be the active VGA */
	VGA_DISABLE_ALL = 2,	/* Remember active VGA then disable all VGAa and
devices */
	VGA_ENABLE_ACTIVE = 3,	/* Make sure all VGAs are disabled, then
reenable active VGA */
};

States 2 and 3 are using during a reset cycle. You need to disable the
active VGA, run the reset on the new card, turn it off and then
restore the active one.

I cannot get this code to work. I have a machine with three buses, the
main one, a PCI one and an AGP one. If I turn off routing from one
bridge and turn it on on the other, I cannot get the VGA card to
respond to the IO requests. There must be something more to routing
VGA than what is in this code. The patch is pretty simple so it
shouldn't be too hard to find the problem. I know my machine can route
VGA since vbios.vm86 does it when reseting my secondary cards.

Can any of you PCI/VGA experts tell me what is wrong? Patch is against
current Linus BK.

This code, plus the ROM code already in the kernel, plus a tiny piece
to generate a hotplug event, is enough to let me write a user space
app for secondary card reset.

P.S. Can you fix your mailer to set a mimetype other than "unspecified binary

Yes, there are special control bits in any PCI bridge header for the

Well, not all of them, which is why I asked.  Though obviously this patch will 
need some very platform specific bits at any rate.

What is a case of where the VGA forwarding bit isn't in the bridge
control? It's part of the PCI spec to have it.

There are two components to this, bus routing and card control. When
each VGA device is on it's own bus the card specific control code
isn't required. Instead you can control the active VGA by shutting
down the bus routing. It's only when you have multiple cards on the
same bus that you need the card specific control.

But the point of this code is to allow reset of secondary cards. After
resetting a secondary card it will be left as the active VGA device
instead of the boot one. This moves your console from screen to
screen. Instead I want to remember the active device, run reset, and
then restore the original console.

In my machine I have one PCI and one AGP card. Bus routing is
sufficient to choose between the two. Opteron systems with AGP cards
on local buses can also use this code.  Another example is where the
primary VGA device is on AGP and there are multiple PCI cards. You
just want all of the PCI VGA devices turned off.

We ultimately need both pieces of code, VGA bus routing, and card
specific VGA enabling code. Even without the card specific code the
routing code is still useful.

Hmm... lemme check my specs.  It doesn't look like we support that aspect of 
the PCI spec in our bridges.

Oh right, doing card specific up/down will allow multiple cards to share the 
same bus, which would be nice.

Btw, I don't think this is the only chipset that doesn't support the VGA 
routing bit, so new code shouldn't assume that it's ok to access VGA ports 
w/o an offset based on the PCI bus the device is on.

Is this a justification for doing device drivers for bridge chips? It
has been mentioned before but no one has done it.

Any ideas why the code I sent won't work on the x86? I can shut
routing off but I can't get it back on again.

The motivation behind the code is to get X to quit doing this from user space.

Yeah, people are usually slack and work around the problem.

A bridge driver is really wanted for several situations in today's 
hardware...

There's a very good reason not to have a bridge driver at the moment -
some PCI to PCI bridges need special drivers.  Currently, as the device
model stands today, we can only have ONE PCI to PCI bridge driver for
all P2P bridges, which is bad news if you need a specific driver for,
eg, a mobility docking station P2P bridge.

As I said back in 2002, the device model needs a way to have driver
priories - how well a driver matches the hardware.

My idea was for the bus match function to return the "goodness"
factor of the match.  For PCI, matching on just the class IDs would
be low goodness, but an exact match with both the vendor and device
IDs would yeild a good match.

When the device model has a driver or device added, it scans all current
devices or drivers (respectively) and chooses the best matched pair.
If the device already has an existing driver, it calls the ->remove
method to unbind the current device driver relationship before handing
it over to the more specific driver.

Unfortunately, I never got around to writing the mobility P2P bridge
driver because I didn't see much chance of this idea being adopted.

However, if we're going to start having generic drivers for such
hardware, this kind of functionality needs to be thought about.

Annoyingly, we already have one, it's just special-cased for PCI Express.
On my todo for this week is to take it out of the pcie directory and fix it.

I don't think this is ... the bridges mentioned are host->pci bridges.

I suppose we could log all access X does and compare to what your code

There is no requirement that the bridge driver be generic code. I
agree that it is simpler but there is nothing stopping a "generic"
driver from just having PCI IDs for all of the existing bridges built
into it and then load it like a normal driver. Loading all of the
bridge PCI IDs into the "generic" driver gets rid of the need for
driver priorities.

This can be done today in the bus specific match functions.  And because
of that, I would argue that this belongs in the bus specific code, and
not in the driver core, as it's up to the bus to know what the different
types of "matches" that can happen, and what the priority is.

And yes, I agree that this needs to be done, I've been talking with a
few other people who are interested in it.  I think the lock-rework code
needs to be finished before it can happen properly, so that we can do
the "unbind from one driver and give it to another one" type logic
properly.

Here's a version of the VGA control code that actually works. It helps
if I pci_enable() the device before using it. There was nothing wrong
with the routing code.

I can also control multiple cards on the same bus by turning on/off
their response to IO space and then enabling VGA via the standard
ports. I can use this to move my console from card to card.

I have this code in drivers/pci because it needs to know add/remove
from hotplug. Is there a better way to structure it? Note that this is
not a VGA device, it is just a mechanism for controlling which VGA
device is active.

Another item I need to add is generating an initial hotplug event for
each secondary card. This event has to happen even if there is a card
specific driver loaded. The event will be used to run the reset
program needed by secondary cards.

Makes sense, having hotplug events would be nice.  I've got a standalone bios 
emulator (based on the X int10 library) that I hope to open source soon, we 
could use that as a starting piont for the reset app.

Those ins and outs won't work on all platforms unless they have a base address 
(assigned by arch code) associated with them.  But then again, I suppose if a 
platform supports more than one legacy I/O space, it also supports multiple 
active VGAs, so maybe this enable/disable code isn't needed for them...

Eh?! there can only be *one* legacy I/O space.
We can support multipl IO port spaces, but only one can be the "legacy".

Moving the VGA device can only function within that legacy space
the way the code is written now (using hard coded addresses).
If it is intended to work with multiple IO Port address spaces,
then it needs to use the pci_dev->resource[] and mangle that appropriately.

What do you mean?  If you define legacy I/O space to be 
0x0000000000000000-0x000000000000ffff, then yes of course you're right.  But 
if you mean being able to access legacy ports at all, then no.  On SGI 
machines, there's a per-bus base address that can be used as the base for 
port I/O, which is what I was getting at.

There is no resource for some of the I/O port space that cards respond to.  I 
can set the I/O BAR of my VGA card to 0x400 and it'll still respond to 
accesses at 0x3bc for example.  That's what I mean by legacy space--space 
that cards respond to but don't report in their PCI resources.

Sorry - I only wanted to point out the short coming.
I don't care if it gets fixed (or not) since I don't use
or need to support multiple VGA cards. If someone else (in
HP) does, it's just nice to warn them what's broken.

Next year we are going to see a lot of multiple VGAs. Depending on
configuration the Nvidia4 chipset can support from one up to eight PCI
Express video cards simultaneously.

I would like to get this fixed in the kernel so that apps like X won't
do it from user space. Every time X does a read/alter/write to PCI
config space from user space is a place where bad things can happen.
The goal of this is to remove the PCI bus probing code from X.

Ok - my point was "0x3fc" will get routed to exactly one of those
IO port address spaces.

Yes - I've heard several graphics cards are horrible broken WRT address
decoding.  Are PCI quirks supposed to handle that sort of thing?

Another example was Xf86 was poking around in MMIO space 
to determine if such broken cards are installed.

Can't PCI quirks fix up the resources to reflect this?

I think one needs to fix up PCI IO Port resources to adjust
for "The One" legacy IO port space getting routed to a different
PCI segment - assuming no one submits a patch to change current
behavior of using hard coded addresses.

HP parisc and ia64 platforms implement seperate PCI segments under
each PCI host bus controller. Linux PCI "BIOS" support provides
the illusion it's all in one PCI segment on most (not all) platforms.
Some HP chipsets also provide a "Legacy" IO Port space that gets
routed to a chosen PCI Host bus controller.

parisc PCI BIOS adds the controller instance number to the IO port space
resource to help "inb()" generate the IO port cycle on the right
PCI segment. This needs to be fixed up if we decide a different
PCI segment should be segment 0 (and thus get references to 0x3fc).
I expect other arches with multi-segment support to do similar
fix ups.

Am I making more sense now?

grant

Agreed, or it will cause a machine check if legacy I/O remapping isn't 
supported (like on SGI).

I'm not sure if broken is the right work.  All this stuff predates PCI by 
quite a bit, so certain device classes claimed certain port ranges way before 
cards were required to have programmable address decoders.  VGA cards are 
probably the most tenacious example of this, they respond to certain well 
known ports after reset, regardless of BAR values.

Not sure, the I/O BAR may correspond to real registers too--and they may not 
overlap with the ones in the well known space.

I think we might just need a new resource for these well known ports, if my 
last statement is true.

> Am I making more sense now?

Yeah, I think I understand.  We could probably do the same thing on sn2 as you 
do on parisc--add a 'segment 0' offset to the port so that it's routed 
correctly.  I think that's a little less flexible than adding a new resource 
though, since it makes it harder for drivers to support more than one device 
or devices on non-segment 0 busses.

No, PCI quirks are for fixing broken things.  VGA cards are entitled to
3c0-3df and all their 10-bit aliases.  I've been thinking for a while that we should mark the 10-bit aliases of ISA devices as used ... ie:

x100-x3ff
x500-x7ff
x900-xbff
xd00-xfff

Unfortunately, that may break some legitimate setups, but is hinted at
being a good idea in the EISA docs I've read.  My laptop uses only the
10-bit aliases of motherboard space (x000-x0ff, x400-x4ff, x800-x8ff,
xc00-xcff) for devices, except for the ISA bridge, which gets:
1180-11bf : 0000:00:1f.0
  1180-11bf : pnp 00:0b

The K6-2 is similar; only 10-bit aliases of motherboard space except for:
0a79-0a79 : isapnp write

Possibly a better solution (less likely to break things) would be to allow
drivers to reserve the 10-bit aliases too.  Something like this:

static inline void request_isa_alias_regions(unsigned long start,
                unsigned long n, const char *name)
{
        int base;
        for (base = 0x400; base < 0x10000; base += 0x400) {
                request_region(base + start, n, name);
        }
}

and then call that in drivers/video/console/vgacon.c

Russell, would that allay your issues with the kernel io resource database?

It makes the situation a whole lot clearer from the point of working
out what is free and what isn't, making it less likely that we'll
trample over some magic port which your VGA card needs.

This, along with throwing in the ports found via ACPI (which Dominik
has hinted) should (maybe that's the wrong word) give us a complete
picture and allow things like PCMCIA to do reliable resource
allocation.  The same goes for Cardbus/PCI as well of course.

Maybe at this point the idea that you need to tell PCMCIA about which
resources it can validly use can finally be eliminated, which is a
big step towards eliminating it's dependence on userspace.

(I hope this is what you were talking about and I haven't just produced
a load of unrelated waffle!)

To be clear, the parisc code defines this in include/asm-parisc/pci.h:

#define HBA_PORT_SPACE_BITS     16
#define PCI_PORT_HBA(a)    ((a) >> HBA_PORT_SPACE_BITS)

and PCI_PORT_HBA gets used in arch/parisc/kernel/pci.c.

Offhand, I don't know if ia64 has the equivalent.
But it sounds like it might need it.

Unbind/give does not address what VGA control needs. VGA control needs
to track hotplug remove events so that it can route the display to
another VGA card if the active display is pulled. As far as I can tell
there is no way to monitor hotplug remove events, that's why I had to
add a callout in pci_destroy_dev().

VGA control also can't just install a device driver since that will
prevent the real DRM/FB device drivers from installing. It looks to me
like VGA control is more of a strange property of the PCI bus
architecture than a device driver.

Another strategy would be to create the concept of a PCI class driver
which a normal device driver would inherit from instead of replacing
it. But is there a need for another PCI class driver other than VGA?

Almost every x86 I/O device in ISA space has this problem so it would be
better if request_region learned to take a decode mask instead of adding
another 500 entries

Here's the patch inline. Big things that need to be addressed...

1) Generating the user space reset event. I tried using the pci
hotplug event but ran into the fb blacklist. The reset events need to
be serialized across multiple cards. Make a temp kobj or just use
call_userspacehelp?

2) Things need to be set up so that it will generate the reset event
when compiled in. So the event has to come after early user space is
set up.

3) Where does this code go? It's not a specific device driver since it
doesn't attach to a single piece of hardware. I also run into
interference from existing fb driver as a normal device driver. It
needs to tie into drivers for bus chips when those happen.

4) It needs to monitor hotplug add/remove. If you pull the bus with
the console on it, it will try to move the console to another VGA
device.
