[PATCH 0/6] video/logo: allow custom boot logo and simplify logic

[PATCH 0/6] video/logo: allow custom boot logo and simplify logic

[Vincent Mailhol]

This series allows the user to replace the default kernel boot logo by
a custom one directly in the kernel configuration. This makes it
easier to customise the boot logo without the need to modify the
sources and allows such customisation to remain persistent after
applying the configuration to another version of the kernel.

Patch #1 and #2 are clean-up and preparation while patch #3 is the
main feature of this series: making the boot logo customisable.

While working on this, I realised that managing the logo file directly
in Kbuild allows us to simplify how we handle the different existing
variants of the Tux logo. This series thus ends with a clean-up which
moves all the logo selection logic to Kbuild, simplifying the Makefile
and C code.

Patch #4 and #5 do a tree-wide clean-up on the Kconfig symbols that
are to be removed in patch #6 and patch #6 simplify the logic as
explained above.

[PATCH 1/6] video/logo: remove orphan .pgm Makefile rule

[Vincent Mailhol]

The kernel has no actual grey-scale logos. And looking at the git
history, it seems that there never was one (or maybe there was in the
pre-git history? I did not check that far…)

Remove the Makefile rule for the .pgm grey scale images.

Great to see this series.

I think the Fixes: tag should still go here, even if it is not very 
specific.

But then, what do I put in the fixes tag? This:

  Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

?

I am not sure it is worth bothering the stable team for something that
isn't causing any real harm.

Yes

That was my original thinking as well, but the Fixes tag is not only 
about stable backports. It is also used for tracking, tooling, and 
documentation, so stable picking up such patches is just one of its 
purposes.

OK. Then why not. I added the tag in my local tree, but I will wait a
couple days for the other review comments before sending. I will not
spam everyone with a v3 just for that.

I like your patch!
So, I've added the v2 series to the fbdev git tree.

I don't think a "Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")" tag is
appropriate, since it doesn't fixes anything.

Let's see if issues arise due to the wider testing...

Ack.

Yes. It is always hard for this kind of changes to take care of all the
intricacies (like the one for the Playstation 3 extra logo…)

Well, I spend a fair amount of effort, grepping the different logos
throughout the source code and didn't find any other corner cases.

Fingers crossed!

If there were ever grayscale logos, that would fix the pre-Git commit 
removal, which left unused code behind.

It seems each maintainer has a different view on tag usage.
I’ll try to familiarize myself more with subsystem practices before 
attempting another review. I need to get used to this diversity.

[PATCH 2/6] video/logo: add a type parameter to the logo makefile function

[Vincent Mailhol]

When translating a portable pixmap file into a .c file, the pnmtologo
tool expects to receive the image type (either mono, vga16 or clut224)
as an argument under the -t option.

Currently, this information is stored in the file name. Because we
will allow for custom logo in an upcoming change, it is preferable to
decouple the image name from its type.

Add a new $2 parameter to the Makefile logo function which contains
the image type.

Update all the individual targets to provide this new argument. Note
that this transitional: all those targets will be removed in an
upcoming clean-up change.

[PATCH 3/6] video/logo: allow custom logo

[Vincent Mailhol]

Some people like to replace the default Tux boot logo by an image of
their own. There exist a few tutorials here [1] and there [2]. But
this requires modifying the sources which is a bit cumbersome.

Add a string entry in Kbuild for each of the logo categories
(monochrome, 16-colors, 224-colors). The string entry takes a path to
a .pbm or .ppm image allowing the user to more easily provide a custom
logo without having to modify the sources.

Add an help entry with a short hint on how to convert images to the
portable pixmap file format.

Update the Makefile accordingly. When converted to .c file, the logo
will have one of these fixed file name:

  - logo_linux_mono.c
  - logo_linux_vga16.c
  - logo_linux_clut224.c:

depending on the image type and this regardless of the name of the
.pgm/.ppm source filename. This will allow for further simplifications
in an upcoming change.

[PATCH 4/6] newport_con: depend on LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224 instead of LOGO_SGI_CLUT224

[Vincent Mailhol]

newport_show_logo() is only activated if CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224 is
set (otherwise it is a NOP). This configuration value will be removed
in an upcoming change so instead, make it depend on LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224.

This should have been CONFIG_LOGO_SGI_CLUT224. But that's only a typo in
the patch description.

@Helger, do you want me to send a v3 or can you directly apply the typo
fix in your linux-fbdev/for-next branch?

[PATCH 5/6] sh: defconfig: remove CONFIG_LOGO_SUPERH_*

[Vincent Mailhol]

CONFIG_LOGO_SUPERH_MONO, CONFIG_LOGO_SUPERH_VGA16 and
CONFIG_LOGO_SUPERH_CLUT224 will be removed in an upcoming change but
are still referenced in some of the defconfig.

Remove all the occurrences of CONFIG_LOGO_SUPERH_*.

[PATCH 6/6] video/logo: move logo selection logic to Kconfig

[Vincent Mailhol]

Now that the path to the logo file can be directly entered in Kbuild,
there is no more need to handle all the logo file selection in the
Makefile and the C files.

Move all the logo file selection logic to Kbuild, this done, clean-up
the C code to only leave one entry for each logo type (monochrome,
16-colors and 224-colors).

Removing the logo_spe_clut224.o target was a mistake. This removes the
logo_spe_clut224 object which is still being referenced in

  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c

The Cell processor (found, for example in the PS3) has a unique
feature in the kernel: it will not only show the standard penguin
logos for each of the core, but also show an extra line of logos for
each of its SPE core. More details with a screenshot here:

  Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20070710122702.765654000@pademelon.sonytel.be/

And indeed, on a ps3_defconfig, I am getting this build error:

    CC      arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.o
  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c: In function 'init_spu_base':
  arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c:775:39: error: 'logo_spe_clut224' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'logo_linux_clut224'?
    775 |                 fb_append_extra_logo(&logo_spe_clut224, ret);
        |                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        |                                       logo_linux_clut224

This extra logo feature is a weird beast only used by a single CPU. I
will just restore the logo_spe_clut224.o target in v2 and leave it
untouched.

I checked and the other logo objects are not being referenced anymore
throughout the kernel.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make the boot logo to be configurable
at runtime so that users don't have to rebuild their kernel at all
to change their boot logo?

I thought about that. The problem is that the logo is loaded really
early in the boot process. To be able to modify the logo without
rebuilding the full kernel, the logo would basically need to become a
kernel module that would be stored in either an initrd or on the filesystem.

The above is not impossible, but would require delaying the logo.

If we go in that direction, I think that my series as it is right now
would be a prerequisite anyway. Personally, I am happy with the logo
just being configurable when compiling the kernel, so I do not intend to
put more effort into this afterward. However, that would have prepared
the ground if anyone wants to implement in the future what you just
suggested.

Hah! What I have been doing for so many moons is to just cp my own logo
'logo_linux_clut224.ppm' -> 'drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.ppm'
for each custom kernel build - that works like a charm.
Maybe... I'm too pragmatic? It's that famous 'kill bill' logo from ages
ago, 224 colors PPM

Haven't tested your patch series cos stuff just works for me.
Looking forward to feedback from all those logo nerds out there.

I was doing the same! I then started a rework a couple years ago to
implement this idea.. At that time, I was less experienced and did not
fully understood Kbuild. The result worked but was ugly and stayed in my
local tree.

This winter holidays, I had a bit of free time, revisited my old idea,
and this time, found something I thought was worth upstreaming. Thus
this series.

D'oh, I misread your message. When my brain parsed your text, I read it as:

  Haven't tested your patch series cos work stuff…

As if you were too busy with your work to test it now.
