This patch adds a buffer synchronization framework based on DMA BUF[1]
and reservation[2] to use dma-buf resource, and based on ww-mutexes[3]
for lock mechanism.

The purpose of this framework is to provide not only buffer access control
to CPU and DMA but also easy-to-use interfaces for device drivers and
potentially user application (not implemented for user applications, yet).
And this framework can be used for all dma devices using system memory as
dma buffer, especially for most ARM based SoCs.

Changelog v3:
- remove cache operation relevant codes and update document file.

Changelog v2:
- use atomic_add_unless to avoid potential bug.
- add a macro for checking valid access type.
- code clean.

The mechanism of this framework has the following steps,
    1. Register dmabufs to a sync object - A task gets a new sync object and
    can add one or more dmabufs that the task wants to access.
    This registering should be performed when a device context or an event
    context such as a page flip event is created or before CPU accesses a shared
    buffer.

	dma_buf_sync_get(a sync object, a dmabuf);

    2. Lock a sync object - A task tries to lock all dmabufs added in its own
    sync object. Basically, the lock mechanism uses ww-mutex[1] to avoid dead
    lock issue and for race condition between CPU and CPU, CPU and DMA, and DMA
    and DMA. Taking a lock means that others cannot access all locked dmabufs
    until the task that locked the corresponding dmabufs, unlocks all the locked
    dmabufs.
    This locking should be performed before DMA or CPU accesses these dmabufs.

	dma_buf_sync_lock(a sync object);

    3. Unlock a sync object - The task unlocks all dmabufs added in its own sync
    object. The unlock means that the DMA or CPU accesses to the dmabufs have
    been completed so that others may access them.
    This unlocking should be performed after DMA or CPU has completed accesses
    to the dmabufs.

	dma_buf_sync_unlock(a sync object);

    4. Unregister one or all dmabufs from a sync object - A task unregisters
    the given dmabufs from the sync object. This means that the task dosen't
    want to lock the dmabufs.
    The unregistering should be performed after DMA or CPU has completed
    accesses to the dmabufs or when dma_buf_sync_lock() is failed.

	dma_buf_sync_put(a sync object, a dmabuf);
	dma_buf_sync_put_all(a sync object);

    The described steps may be summarized as:
	get -> lock -> CPU or DMA access to a buffer/s -> unlock -> put

This framework includes the following two features.
    1. read (shared) and write (exclusive) locks - A task is required to declare
    the access type when the task tries to register a dmabuf;
    READ, WRITE, READ DMA, or WRITE DMA.

    The below is example codes,
	struct dmabuf_sync *sync;

	sync = dmabuf_sync_init(NULL, "test sync");

	dmabuf_sync_get(sync, dmabuf, DMA_BUF_ACCESS_R);
	...

	And the below can be used as access types:
		DMA_BUF_ACCESS_R - CPU will access a buffer for read.
		DMA_BUF_ACCESS_W - CPU will access a buffer for read or write.
		DMA_BUF_ACCESS_DMA_R - DMA will access a buffer for read
		DMA_BUF_ACCESS_DMA_W - DMA will access a buffer for read or
					write.

    2. Mandatory resource releasing - a task cannot hold a lock indefinitely.
    A task may never try to unlock a buffer after taking a lock to the buffer.
    In this case, a timer handler to the corresponding sync object is called
    in five (default) seconds and then the timed-out buffer is unlocked by work
    queue handler to avoid lockups and to enforce resources of the buffer.

The below is how to use:
	1. Allocate and Initialize a sync object:
		struct dmabuf_sync *sync;

		sync = dmabuf_sync_init(NULL, "test sync");
		...

	2. Add a dmabuf to the sync object when setting up dma buffer relevant
	   registers:
		dmabuf_sync_get(sync, dmabuf, DMA_BUF_ACCESS_READ);
		...

	3. Lock all dmabufs of the sync object before DMA or CPU accesses
	   the dmabufs:
		dmabuf_sync_lock(sync);
		...

	4. Now CPU or DMA can access all dmabufs locked in step 3.

	5. Unlock all dmabufs added in a sync object after DMA or CPU access
	   to these dmabufs is completed:
		dmabuf_sync_unlock(sync);

	   And call the following functions to release all resources,
		dmabuf_sync_put_all(sync);
		dmabuf_sync_fini(sync);

	You can refer to actual example codes:

+
+This document is a guide for device-driver writers describing the DMA buffer
+synchronization API. This document also describes how to use the API to
+use buffer synchronization mechanism between DMA and DMA, CPU and DMA, and
+CPU and CPU.
+
+The DMA Buffer synchronization API provides buffer synchronization mechanism;
+i.e., buffer access control to CPU and DMA, and easy-to-use interfaces for
+device drivers and potentially user application (not implemented for user
+applications, yet). And this API can be used for all dma devices using system
+memory as dma buffer, especially for most ARM based SoCs.
+
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+Buffer synchronization issue between DMA and DMA:
+	Sharing a buffer, a device cannot be aware of when the other device
+	will access the shared buffer: a device may access a buffer containing
+	wrong data if the device accesses the shared buffer while another
+	device is still accessing the shared buffer.
+	Therefore, a user process should have waited for the completion of DMA
+	access by another device before a device tries to access the shared
+	buffer.
+
+Buffer synchronization issue between CPU and DMA:
+	A user process should consider that when having to send a buffer, filled
+	by CPU, to a device driver for the device driver to access the buffer as
+	a input buffer while CPU and DMA are sharing the buffer.
+	This means that the user process needs to understand how the device
+	driver is worked. Hence, the conventional mechanism not only makes
+	user application complicated but also incurs performance overhead.
+
+Buffer synchronization issue between CPU and CPU:
+	In case that two processes share one buffer; shared with DMA also,
+	they may need some mechanism to allow process B to access the shared
+	buffer after the completion of CPU access by process A.
+	Therefore, process B should have waited for the completion of CPU access
+	by process A using the mechanism before trying to access the shared
+	buffer.
+
+What is the best way to solve these buffer synchronization issues?
+	We may need a common object that a device driver and a user process
+	notify the common object of when they try to access a shared buffer.
+	That way we could decide when we have to allow or not to allow for CPU
+	or DMA to access the shared buffer through the common object.
+	If so, what could become the common object? Right, that's a dma-buf[1].
+	Now we have already been using the dma-buf to share one buffer with
+	other drivers.
+
+
+Basic concept
+-------------
+
+The mechanism of this framework has the following steps,
+    1. Register dmabufs to a sync object - A task gets a new sync object and
+    can add one or more dmabufs that the task wants to access.
+    This registering should be performed when a device context or an event
+    context such as a page flip event is created or before CPU accesses a shared
+    buffer.
+
+	dma_buf_sync_get(a sync object, a dmabuf);
+
+    2. Lock a sync object - A task tries to lock all dmabufs added in its own
+    sync object. Basically, the lock mechanism uses ww-mutexes[2] to avoid dead
+    lock issue and for race condition between CPU and CPU, CPU and DMA, and DMA
+    and DMA. Taking a lock means that others cannot access all locked dmabufs
+    until the task that locked the corresponding dmabufs, unlocks all the locked
+    dmabufs.
+    This locking should be performed before DMA or CPU accesses these dmabufs.
+
+	dma_buf_sync_lock(a sync object);
+
+    3. Unlock a sync object - The task unlocks all dmabufs added in its own sync
+    object. The unlock means that the DMA or CPU accesses to the dmabufs have
+    been completed so that others may access them.
+    This unlocking should be performed after DMA or CPU has completed accesses
+    to the dmabufs.
+
+	dma_buf_sync_unlock(a sync object);
+
+    4. Unregister one or all dmabufs from a sync object - A task unregisters
+    the given dmabufs from the sync object. This means that the task dosen't
+    want to lock the dmabufs.
+    The unregistering should be performed after DMA or CPU has completed
+    accesses to the dmabufs or when dma_buf_sync_lock() is failed.
+
+	dma_buf_sync_put(a sync object, a dmabuf);
+	dma_buf_sync_put_all(a sync object);
+
+    The described steps may be summarized as:
+	get -> lock -> CPU or DMA access to a buffer/s -> unlock -> put
+
+This framework includes the following two features.
+    1. read (shared) and write (exclusive) locks - A task is required to declare
+    the access type when the task tries to register a dmabuf;
+    READ, WRITE, READ DMA, or WRITE DMA.
+
+    The below is example codes,
+	struct dmabuf_sync *sync;
+
+	sync = dmabuf_sync_init(NULL, "test sync");
+
+	dmabuf_sync_get(sync, dmabuf, DMA_BUF_ACCESS_R);
+	...
+
+    2. Mandatory resource releasing - a task cannot hold a lock indefinitely.
+    A task may never try to unlock a buffer after taking a lock to the buffer.
+    In this case, a timer handler to the corresponding sync object is called
+    in five (default) seconds and then the timed-out buffer is unlocked by work
+    queue handler to avoid lockups and to enforce resources of the buffer.
+
+
+Access types
+------------
+
+DMA_BUF_ACCESS_R - CPU will access a buffer for read.
+DMA_BUF_ACCESS_W - CPU will access a buffer for read or write.
+DMA_BUF_ACCESS_DMA_R - DMA will access a buffer for read
+DMA_BUF_ACCESS_DMA_W - DMA will access a buffer for read or write.
+
+
+API set
+-------
+
+bool is_dmabuf_sync_supported(void)
+	- Check if dmabuf sync is supported or not.
+
+struct dmabuf_sync *dmabuf_sync_init(void *priv, const char *name)
+	- Allocate and initialize a new sync object. The caller can get a new
+	sync object for buffer synchronization. priv is used to set caller's
+	private data and name is the name of sync object.
+
+void dmabuf_sync_fini(struct dmabuf_sync *sync)
+	- Release all resources to the sync object.
+
+int dmabuf_sync_get(struct dmabuf_sync *sync, void *sync_buf,
+			unsigned int type)
+	- Add a dmabuf to a sync object. The caller can group multiple dmabufs
+	by calling this function several times. Internally, this function also
+	takes a reference to a dmabuf.
+
+void dmabuf_sync_put(struct dmabuf_sync *sync, struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
+	- Remove a given dmabuf from a sync object. Internally, this function
+	also release every reference to the given dmabuf.
+
+void dmabuf_sync_put_all(struct dmabuf_sync *sync)
+	- Remove all dmabufs added in a sync object. Internally, this function
+	also release every reference to the dmabufs of the sync object.
+
+int dmabuf_sync_lock(struct dmabuf_sync *sync)
+	- Lock all dmabufs added in a sync object. The caller should call this
+	function prior to CPU or DMA access to the dmabufs so that others can
+	not access the dmabufs. Internally, this function avoids dead lock
+	issue with ww-mutexes.
+
+int dmabuf_sync_unlock(struct dmabuf_sync *sync)
+	- Unlock all dmabufs added in a sync object. The caller should call
+	this function after CPU or DMA access to the dmabufs is completed so
+	that others can access the dmabufs.
+
+
+Tutorial
+--------
+
+1. Allocate and Initialize a sync object:
+	struct dmabuf_sync *sync;
+
+	sync = dmabuf_sync_init(NULL, "test sync");
+	...
+
+2. Add a dmabuf to the sync object when setting up dma buffer relevant registers:
+	dmabuf_sync_get(sync, dmabuf, DMA_BUF_ACCESS_READ);
+	...
+
+3. Lock all dmabufs of the sync object before DMA or CPU accesses the dmabufs:
+	dmabuf_sync_lock(sync);
+	...
+
+4. Now CPU or DMA can access all dmabufs locked in step 3.
+
+5. Unlock all dmabufs added in a sync object after DMA or CPU access to these
+   dmabufs is completed:
+	dmabuf_sync_unlock(sync);
+
+   And call the following functions to release all resources,
+	dmabuf_sync_put_all(sync);
+	dmabuf_sync_fini(sync);

* DRM/KMS/FB: HDMI hotplug displays 1024x768 resolution instead of native mode
From: Jiada Wang @ 2013-06-19  7:37 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel, airlied, linux-fbdev-devel; +Cc: Jiada Wang

Hi,

I am implementing HDMI hotplug feature for i.MX6 platform,
the basic function has already been done and works

But there is is an "issue",
When bootup system without HDMI cable attached, fbcon is initialised 
with fbsize: 1024x768, after plug-in HDMI cable, I can see in debug log,
display's valid video_mode has been read via DDC, but in 
drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event(), only size lower than 
fb_helper->fb->width/fb_helper->fb->height, will be accepted,

So instead of the display's native mode, 1024x768 is displayed.

Is it correct DRM/fbdev behaviour?



Thanks,
Jiada

I already sent the same patch alongside the drm constify patches. It
just needs to trickle back into the drm tree via the fbdev folks.

My point was that you're not adding COMPILE_TEST to an existing config
option, you're creating a totally new config option.

As I said, that's probably ok, but it'd be nice to mention extra things
like that in the desc. The pedantic approach would be to do the makefile
and Kconfig change in an earlier patch, and then add only COMPILE_TEST.

Look:

+config USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX
+       bool "ChipIdea IMX support"
+       depends on OF_DEVICE && (ARM || COMPILE_TEST)

COMPILE_TEST added here ----------------^^^^^^^^^^^^

The patch looks a bit odd with the USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX parts. You're not
adding COMPILE_TEST there, but you're adding a totally new config
option, and also changing the Makefile.

Maybe that's ok, but there's no mention about this in the desc.

I don't really want that is used only for DRM drivers. We really need it for all other DMA devices; i.e., v4l2 based drivers. That is what I try to do. And my approach uses reservation to use dma-buf resources but not dma fence stuff anymore. However, I'm looking into Radeon DRM driver for why we need dma fence stuff, and how we can use it if needed.

Thanks,

This patch should already be merged into the fbdev tree, at least the maintainer said it was, hence why I didn't merge it into
my drm-next tree.

Is the fbdev queue not in the drm-next?

size_t is unsigned, so you better change it to %zu.

* [PATCH linux-next] fb: make fp_get_options name argument const

  To: linux-next, linux-fbdev
  Cc: Vincent Stehlé, Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard,
	Tomi Valkeinen, Dave Airlie, trivial

drm_get_connector_name now returns a const value, which causes the following
compilation warning:

  drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c: In function ‘drm_fb_helper_parse_command_line’:
  drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c:127:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘fb_get_options’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]
  In file included from drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c:35:0:
  include/linux/fb.h:627:12: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘const char *’

As fb_get_options uses its name argument as read only, make it const. This
fixes the aforementioned compilation warning.

Hi,

I remarked this warning while building linux-next with imx_v6_v7_defconfig.
Is changing fb_get_options prototype "permitted", please?

Best regards,

That's why I also talk below about adding the dma_buf_map/sync callbacks
below, so that a dma_buf implementation can do whatever is necessary with
the sg at the point of use.

However, you are correct that this should be unnecessary, as DRM should
only be calling dma_buf_map_attachment() when it needs to know about the
memory behind the object.  The problem is that people will cache that
information - it also may be expensive to setup for the dma_buf - as it
involves counting the number of pages, memory allocation, and maybe
obtaining the set of pages from shmem.

With (a) plus the callbacks below, it means that step is only performed
once, and then the DMA API part is entirely separate - we can have our
cake and eat it in that regard.

Note that the DMA API debug doesn't allow you to change the direction
argument on an existing mapping (neither should it, again this is
documented in the DMA API stuff in Documentation/).  This is where you
would need the complete set of four functions I mention above which
reflect the functionality of the DMA API.

The dma_buf implementation doesn't _have_ to implement them if they
are no-ops - for example, your dma_buf sg array contains DMA pointers,
and the memory is already coherent in some way (for example, it's a
separate chunk of memory which isn't part of system RAM.)

The most basic question about why you are trying to implement this sort
of thing in the dma_buf framework still stands.

Once you imported a dma_buf into your DRM driver it's a GEM object and
you can and should use the native DRM ioctls to prepare/end a CPU access
to this BO. Then internally to your driver you can use the dma_buf
reservation/fence stuff to provide the necessary cross-device sync.

The point stands: CMA is DMA coherent memory.  It doesn't need and must
never be dma-map-sg'd or dma-sync'd or dma-unmap'd.

The argument is elsewhere. If I understand correctly, Kconfig is for
users, not to be hi-jacked by kernel developers. And users should not
really care about our development processes, cross compilations or
whatever bells and whistles we use. They just don't want to see
drivers which they have no way to *use*, they indeed don't care
whether some more compile at all. We do not want every kernel packager
for every distro out in the wild, to go through all the help texts, to
see whether they should compile and package a driver or not. It's a
tedious work and this option would save time to the packagers.

Try to package and maintain a kernel for a distribution, you will find
out what a cool and surprising work that is...

In the best case I would vote for hard dependencies as cross-compilers
are easy to obtain and set up nowadays. But well, we still want to
("cross") compile drivers, so let's add COMPILE_TEST and use that to
save time to automatic builds.

It's not so. Please see Dave's drm next. recently dmabuf support for the CMA
helper has been merged to there.

What I try to do is not really such ugly thing. What I try to do is to
notify that, when CPU tries to access a buffer , to kernel side through
dmabuf interface. So it's not really to send the buffer to kernel.

right, but my argument is that I rather not have either. Depend on PCI
if you us PCI, depend on EXTCON if you use extcon, but no driver should
have an ARCH dependency. Specially since it lets people include mach/*
and asm/* headers because "it doesn't break compilation for anyone".

But that you have complex dependencies in some drivers is mostly
orthogonal to the two choices of syntax, isn't it?

depends on ARCH1 || ARCH2 || .... || ARCH8 || COMPILE_TEST

vs.

archdepends on ARCH1 || ARCH2 || .... || ARCH8

* [PATCH RESEND] video: mxsfb: fix color settings for 18bit data bus and 32bpp
From: Hector Palacios @ 2013-06-18  8:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

For a combination of 18bit LCD data bus width and a color
mode of 32bpp, the driver was setting the color mapping to
rgb666, which is wrong, as the color in memory realy has an
rgb888 layout.

This patch also removes the setting of flag CTRL_DF24 that
makes the driver dimiss the upper 2 bits when handling 32/24bpp
colors in a diplay with 18bit data bus width. This flag made
true color images display wrong in such configurations.

Finally, the color mapping rgb666 has also been removed as nobody
is using it and high level applications like Qt5 cannot work
with it either.
