Specifying each individual brightness value via the "brightness-levels"
property can be a pain if we want to use a large continuous range of
brightness values.  Add the property "max-brightness", which can be
given in place of "brightness-levels", that specifies that all values
between 0 and the given value can be used.

What about the non-linear nature of PWM duty cycle <-> (perceived)
brightness level? That's why the values are typically enumerated. I
guess if you use this new property, you'd use a value of say 16;
exposing levels 0..255 to a user is probably more than they want?

This was actually part of my first attempt at a DT binding for this
driver as well. Some discussion ensued and we ended up changing the
binding to what it is now. And I think there was even an attempt already
at adding the same thing you propose (albeit under a different name). So
instead of repeating myself I'll just point you at the earlier thread:

I don't think we should add any temporary bindings as it's going to be
a pain to support those in the long run. I suggest you initially just
stick to established bindings for the basic hardware IO address and
interrupts etc, then those should still be valid with the generic panel
bindings later on.

* [RFC PATCH v6 0/2] Introduce buffer synchronization framework
From: Inki Dae @ 2013-08-13  9:19 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dri-devel, linux-fbdev, linux-arm-kernel, linux-media,
	linaro-kernel
  Cc: maarten.lankhorst, sumit.semwal, kyungmin.park, myungjoo.ham,

Hi all,

   This patch set introduces a buffer synchronization framework based
   on DMA BUF[1] and based on ww-mutexes[2] for lock mechanism, and
   may be final RFC.

   The purpose of this framework is to provide not only buffer access
   control to CPU and CPU, and CPU and DMA, and DMA and DMA but also
   easy-to-use interfaces for device drivers and user application.
   In addtion, this patch set suggests a way for enhancing performance.

   For generic user mode interface, we have used fcntl and select system
   call[3]. As you know, user application sees a buffer object as a dma-buf
   file descriptor. So fcntl() call with the file descriptor means to lock
   some buffer region being managed by the dma-buf object. And select() call
   means to wait for the completion of CPU or DMA access to the dma-buf
   without locking. For more detail, you can refer to the dma-buf-sync.txt
   in Documentation/


   There are some cases we should use this buffer synchronization framework.
   One of which is to primarily enhance GPU rendering performance on Tizen
   platform in case of 3d app with compositing mode that 3d app draws
   something in off-screen buffer, and Web app.

   In case of 3d app with compositing mode which is not a full screen mode,
   the app calls glFlush to submit 3d commands to GPU driver instead of
   glFinish for more performance. The reason we call glFlush is that glFinish
   blocks caller's task until the execution of the 2d commands is completed.
   Thus, that makes GPU and CPU more idle. As result, 3d rendering performance
   with glFinish is quite lower than glFlush. However, the use of glFlush has
   one issue that the a buffer shared with GPU could be broken when CPU
   accesses the buffer at once after glFlush because CPU cannot be aware of
   the completion of GPU access to the buffer. Of course, the app can be aware
   of that time using eglWaitGL but this function is valid only in case of the
   same process.

   In case of Tizen, there are some applications that one process draws
   something in its own off-screen buffer (pixmap buffer) using CPU, and other
   process gets a off-screen buffer (window buffer) from Xorg using
   DRI2GetBuffers, and then composites the pixmap buffer with the window buffer
   using GPU, and finally page flip.

   Web app based on HTML5 also has the same issue. Web browser and its web app
   are different process. The web app draws something in its own pixmap buffer,
   and then the web browser gets a window buffer from Xorg, and then composites
   the pixmap buffer with the window buffer. And finally, page flip.

   Thus, in such cases, a shared buffer could be broken as one process draws
   something in pixmap buffer using CPU, when other process composites the
   pixmap buffer with window buffer using GPU without any locking mechanism.
   That is why we need user land locking interface, fcntl system call.

   And last one is a deferred page flip issue. This issue is that a window
   buffer rendered can be displayed on screen in about 32ms in worst case:
   assume that the gpu rendering is completed within 16ms.
   That can be incurred when compositing a pixmap buffer with a window buffer
   using GPU and when vsync is just started. At this time, Xorg waits for
   a vblank event to get a window buffer so 3d rendering will be delayed
   up to about 16ms. As a result, the window buffer would be displayed in
   about two vsyncs (about 32ms) and in turn, that would show slow
   responsiveness.

   For this, we could enhance the responsiveness with locking
   mechanism: skipping one vblank wait. I guess in the similar reason,
   Android, Chrome OS, and other platforms are using their own locking
   mechanisms; Android sync driver, KDS, and DMA fence.

   The below shows the deferred page flip issue in worst case,

               |------------ <- vsync signal
               |<------ DRI2GetBuffers
               |
               |
               |
               |------------ <- vsync signal
               |<------ Request gpu rendering
          time |
               |
               |<------ Request page flip (deferred)
               |------------ <- vsync signal
               |<------ Displayed on screen
               |
               |
               |
               |------------ <- vsync signal

* [PATCH 1/2] [RFC PATCH v6] dmabuf-sync: Add a buffer synchronization framework
From: Inki Dae @ 2013-08-13  9:19 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dri-devel, linux-fbdev, linux-arm-kernel, linux-media,
	linaro-kernel
  Cc: maarten.lankhorst, sumit.semwal, kyungmin.park, myungjoo.ham,
	Inki Dae
In-Reply-To: <1376385576-9039-1-git-send-email-inki.dae@samsung.com>

This patch adds a buffer synchronization framework based on DMA BUF[1]
and and based on ww-mutexes[2] 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
user application. This framework can be used for all dma devices using
system memory as dma buffer, especially for most ARM based SoCs.

Changelog v6:
- Fix sync lock to multiple reads.
- Add select system call support.
  . Wake up poll_wait when a dmabuf is unlocked.
- Remove unnecessary the use of mutex lock.
- Add private backend ops callbacks.
  . This ops has one callback for device drivers to clean up their
    sync object resource when the sync object is freed. For this,
    device drivers should implement the free callback properly.
- Update document file.

Changelog v5:
- Rmove a dependence on reservation_object: the reservation_object is used
  to hook up to ttm and dma-buf for easy sharing of reservations across
  devices. However, the dmabuf sync can be used for all dma devices; v4l2
  and drm based drivers, so doesn't need the reservation_object anymore.
  With regared to this, it adds 'void *sync' to dma_buf structure.
- All patches are rebased on mainline, Linux v3.10.

Changelog v4:
- Add user side interface for buffer synchronization mechanism and update
  descriptions related to the user side interface.

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(...);
	...

	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 interfaces for device driver:
	1. Allocate and Initialize a sync object:
		static void xxx_dmabuf_sync_free(void *priv)
		{
			struct xxx_context *ctx = priv;

			if (!ctx)
				return;

			ctx->sync = NULL;
		}
		...

		static struct dmabuf_sync_priv_ops driver_specific_ops = {
			.free = xxx_dmabuf_sync_free,
		};
		...

		struct dmabuf_sync *sync;

		sync = dmabuf_sync_init("test sync", &driver_specific_ops, ctx);
		...

	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:
		"drm/exynos: add dmabuf sync support for g2d driver" and
		"drm/exynos: add dmabuf sync support for kms framework" from
		https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/
		drm-exynos.git/log/?h=dmabuf-sync

And this framework includes fcntl system call[3] as interfaces exported
to user. As you know, user sees a buffer object as a dma-buf file descriptor.
So fcntl() call with the file descriptor means to lock some buffer region being
managed by the dma-buf object.

The below is how to use interfaces for user application:

fcntl system call:

	struct flock filelock;

	1. Lock a dma buf:
		filelock.l_type = F_WRLCK or F_RDLCK;

		/* lock entire region to the dma buf. */
		filelock.lwhence = SEEK_CUR;
		filelock.l_start = 0;
		filelock.l_len = 0;

		fcntl(dmabuf fd, F_SETLKW or F_SETLK, &filelock);
		...
		CPU access to the dma buf

	2. Unlock a dma buf:
		filelock.l_type = F_UNLCK;

		fcntl(dmabuf fd, F_SETLKW or F_SETLK, &filelock);

		close(dmabuf fd) call would also unlock the dma buf. And for more
		detail, please refer to [3]

select system call:

	fd_set wdfs or rdfs;

	FD_ZERO(&wdfs or &rdfs);
	FD_SET(fd, &wdfs or &rdfs);

	select(fd + 1, &rdfs, NULL, NULL, NULL);
		or
	select(fd + 1, NULL, &wdfs, NULL, NULL);

	Every time select system call is called, a caller will wait for
	the completion of DMA or CPU access to a shared buffer if there
	is someone accessing the shared buffer; locked the shared buffer.
	However, if no anyone then select system call will be returned
	at once.

+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 user application. 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.
+
+
+Generic user interfaces
+-----------------------
+
+And this framework includes fcntl system call[3] as interfaces exported
+to user. As you know, user sees a buffer object as a dma-buf file descriptor.
+So fcntl() call with the file descriptor means to lock some buffer region being
+managed by the dma-buf object.
+
+
+API set
+-------
+
+bool is_dmabuf_sync_supported(void)
+	- Check if dmabuf sync is supported or not.
+
+struct dmabuf_sync *dmabuf_sync_init(const char *name,
+					struct dmabuf_sync_priv_ops *ops,
+					void priv*)
+	- Allocate and initialize a new sync object. The caller can get a new
+	sync object for buffer synchronization. ops is used for device driver
+	to clean up its own sync object. For this, each device driver should
+	implement a free callback. priv is used for device driver to get its
+	device context when free callback is called.
+
+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)
+	- Get dmabuf sync object. Internally, this function allocates
+	a dmabuf_sync object and adds a given dmabuf to it, and also takes
+	a reference to the dmabuf. The caller can tie up multiple dmabufs
+	into one sync object by calling this function several times.
+
+void dmabuf_sync_put(struct dmabuf_sync *sync, struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
+	- Put dmabuf sync object to a given dmabuf. Internally, this function
+	removes a given dmabuf from a sync object and remove the sync object.
+	At this time, the dmabuf is putted.
+
+void dmabuf_sync_put_all(struct dmabuf_sync *sync)
+	- Put dmabuf sync object to dmabufs. Internally, this function removes
+	all dmabufs from a sync object and remove the sync object.
+	At this time, all dmabufs are putted.
+
+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_single_lock(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
+	- Lock a dmabuf. The caller should call this
+	function prior to CPU or DMA access to the dmabuf so that others can
+	not access the dmabuf.
+
+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.
+
+void dmabuf_sync_single_unlock(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
+	- Unlock a dmabuf. The caller should call this function after CPU or
+	DMA access to the dmabuf is completed so that others can access
+	the dmabuf.
+
+
+Tutorial for device driver
+--------------------------
+
+1. Allocate and Initialize a sync object:
+	static void xxx_dmabuf_sync_free(void *priv)
+	{
+		struct xxx_context *ctx = priv;
+
+		if (!ctx)
+			return;
+
+		ctx->sync = NULL;
+	}
+	...
+
+	static struct dmabuf_sync_priv_ops driver_specific_ops = {
+		.free = xxx_dmabuf_sync_free,
+	};
+	...
+
+	struct dmabuf_sync *sync;
+
+	sync = dmabuf_sync_init("test sync", &driver_specific_ops, ctx);
+	...
+
+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);
+
+
+Tutorial for user application
+-----------------------------
+fcntl system call:
+
+	struct flock filelock;
+
+1. Lock a dma buf:
+	filelock.l_type = F_WRLCK or F_RDLCK;
+
+	/* lock entire region to the dma buf. */
+	filelock.lwhence = SEEK_CUR;
+	filelock.l_start = 0;
+	filelock.l_len = 0;
+
+	fcntl(dmabuf fd, F_SETLKW or F_SETLK, &filelock);
+	...
+	CPU access to the dma buf
+
+2. Unlock a dma buf:
+	filelock.l_type = F_UNLCK;
+
+	fcntl(dmabuf fd, F_SETLKW or F_SETLK, &filelock);
+
+	close(dmabuf fd) call would also unlock the dma buf. And for more
+	detail, please refer to [3]
+
+
+select system call:
+
+	fd_set wdfs or rdfs;
+
+	FD_ZERO(&wdfs or &rdfs);
+	FD_SET(fd, &wdfs or &rdfs);
+
+	select(fd + 1, &rdfs, NULL, NULL, NULL);
+		or
+	select(fd + 1, NULL, &wdfs, NULL, NULL);
+
+	Every time select system call is called, a caller will wait for
+	the completion of DMA or CPU access to a shared buffer if there is
+	someone accessing the shared buffer; locked the shared buffer.
+	However, if no anyone then select system call will be returned
+	at once.

* [PATCH 2/2] [RFC PATCH v2] dma-buf: Add user interfaces for dmabuf sync support.
From: Inki Dae @ 2013-08-13  9:19 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dri-devel, linux-fbdev, linux-arm-kernel, linux-media,
	linaro-kernel
  Cc: maarten.lankhorst, sumit.semwal, kyungmin.park, myungjoo.ham,
	Inki Dae
In-Reply-To: <1376385576-9039-1-git-send-email-inki.dae@samsung.com>

This patch adds lock and poll callbacks to dma buf file operations,
and these callbacks will be called by fcntl and select system calls.

fcntl and select system calls can be used to wait for the completion
of DMA or CPU access to a shared dmabuf. The difference of them is
fcntl system call takes a lock after the completion but select system
call doesn't. So in case of fcntl system call, it's useful when a task
wants to access a shared dmabuf without any broken. On the other hand,
it's useful when a task wants to just wait for the completion.

Changelog v2:
- Add select system call support.
  . The purpose of this feature is to wait for the completion of DMA or
    CPU access to a dmabuf without that caller locks the dmabuf again
    after the completion.
    That is useful when caller wants to be aware of the completion of
    DMA access to the dmabuf, and the caller doesn't use intefaces for
    the DMA device driver.

hmm..

how about passing the device names of PHY in platform data of the controller?
It should be deterministic as the PHY framework assigns its own id and we
*don't* want to add any requirement that the ID must be assigned manually
without using PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO. We can get rid of *phy_init_data* in the v10
patch series.

What about slightly altering the concept of v9 to pass a pointer to struct 
device instead of device name inside phy_init_data?

The problem is device might be created very late. (For example in omap4, usb2
phy device gets created when ocp2scp bus is probed). And we have to pass the
init data in board file.

* [Resend][RFC PATCH v6 0/2] Introduce buffer synchronization framework
From: Inki Dae @ 2013-08-13 12:56 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dri-devel, linux-fbdev, linux-arm-kernel, linux-media,
	linaro-kernel
  Cc: maarten.lankhorst, sumit.semwal, kyungmin.park, myungjoo.ham
In-Reply-To: <1376385576-9039-1-git-send-email-inki.dae@samsung.com>

Just adding more detailed descriptions.

Hi all,

   This patch set introduces a buffer synchronization framework based
   on DMA BUF[1] and based on ww-mutexes[2] for lock mechanism, and
   may be final RFC.

   The purpose of this framework is to provide not only buffer access
   control to CPU and CPU, and CPU and DMA, and DMA and DMA but also
   easy-to-use interfaces for device drivers and user application.
   In addtion, this patch set suggests a way for enhancing performance.

   For generic user mode interface, we have used fcntl and select system
   call[3]. As you know, user application sees a buffer object as a dma-buf
   file descriptor. So fcntl() call with the file descriptor means to lock
   some buffer region being managed by the dma-buf object. And select() call
   means to wait for the completion of CPU or DMA access to the dma-buf
   without locking. For more detail, you can refer to the dma-buf-sync.txt
   in Documentation/


   There are some cases we should use this buffer synchronization framework.
   One of which is to primarily enhance GPU rendering performance on Tizen
   platform in case of 3d app with compositing mode that 3d app draws
   something in off-screen buffer, and Web app.

   In case of 3d app with compositing mode which is not a full screen mode,
   the app calls glFlush to submit 3d commands to GPU driver instead of
   glFinish for more performance. The reason we call glFlush is that glFinish
   blocks caller's task until the execution of the 2d commands is completed.
   Thus, that makes GPU and CPU more idle. As result, 3d rendering performance
   with glFinish is quite lower than glFlush. However, the use of glFlush has
   one issue that the a buffer shared with GPU could be broken when CPU
   accesses the buffer at once after glFlush because CPU cannot be aware of
   the completion of GPU access to the buffer. Of course, the app can be aware
   of that time using eglWaitGL but this function is valid only in case of the
   same process.

   The below summarizes how app's window is displayed on Tizen platform:
   1. X client requests a window buffer to Xorg.
   2. X client draws something in the window buffer using CPU.
   3. X client requests SWAP to Xorg.
   4. Xorg notifies a damage event to Composite Manager.
   5. Composite Manager gets the window buffer (front buffer) through
      DRI2GetBuffers.
   6. Composite Manager composes the window buffer and its own back buffer
      using GPU. At this time, eglSwapBuffers is called: internally, 3d
      commands are flushed to gpu driver.
   7. Composite Manager requests SWAP to Xorg.
   8. Xorg performs drm page flip. At this time, the window buffer is
      displayed on screen.

   Web app based on HTML5 also has similar procedure. Web browser and its web
   app are different processs. Web app draws something in its own buffer,
   and then the web browser gets a window buffer from Xorg, and then composes
   those two buffers using GPU.

   Thus, in such cases, a shared buffer could be broken when one process draws
   something in a shared buffer using CPU while Composite manager is composing
   two buffers - X client's front buffer and Composite manger's back buffer, or
   web app's front buffer and web browser's back buffer - using GPU without
   any locking mechanism. That is why we need user land locking interface,
   fcntl system call.

   And last one is a deferred page flip issue. This issue is that a window
   buffer rendered can be displayed on screen in about 32ms in worst case:
   assume that the gpu rendering is completed within 16ms.
   That can be incurred when compositing a pixmap buffer with a window buffer
   using GPU and when vsync is just started. At this time, Xorg waits for
   a vblank event to get a window buffer so 3d rendering will be delayed
   up to about 16ms. As a result, the window buffer would be displayed in
   about two vsyncs (about 32ms) and in turn, that would show slow
   responsiveness.

   For this, we could enhance the responsiveness with locking
   mechanism: skipping one vblank wait. I guess in the similar reason,
   Android, Chrome OS, and other platforms are using their own locking
   mechanisms; Android sync driver, KDS, and DMA fence.

   The below shows the deferred page flip issue in worst case,

               |------------ <- vsync signal
               |<------ DRI2GetBuffers
               |
               |
               |
               |------------ <- vsync signal
               |<------ Request gpu rendering
          time |
               |
               |<------ Request page flip (deferred)
               |------------ <- vsync signal
               |<------ Displayed on screen
               |
               |
               |
               |------------ <- vsync signal

You wouldn't unconditionally send the swap-done event to the client
when the queue is "full".  (Well, for omap and msm, the queue depth is
1, for triple buffer.. I think usually you don't want to do more than
triple buffer.)  The client would never get a buffer that wasn't
already done being scanned out, so there shouldn't be a race.

Basically, in DDX, when you get a ScheduleSwap, there are two cases:
1) you are still waiting for previous page-flip event from kernel, in
which case you queue the swap and don't immediately send the event
back to the client.  When the previous page flip completes, you
schedule the new one and then send back the event to the client.
2) you are not waiting for a previous page-flip, in which case you
schedule the new page-flip and send the event to the client.

(I hope that is clear.. I suppose maybe a picture here would help, but
sadly I don't have anything handy)

The potential drawback is that the client doesn't necessarily have any
control over double vs triple buffering.  In omap ddx I solved this by
adding a special attachment point that the client could request to
tell the DDX that it wanted to triple buffer.  But the upside is that
you never need to worry about a modeset when there is more than one
flip pending.

OK, so the PHY device name would have a fixed part, passed as
platform data of the controller and a variable part appended
by the PHY core, depending on the number of registered PHYs ?

Then same PHY names would be passed as the PHY provider driver's
platform data ?

Then if there are 2 instances of the above (same names in platform
data) how would be determined which PHY controller is linked to
which PHY supplier ?

I guess you want each device instance to have different PHY device
names already in platform data ? That might work. We probably will
be focused mostly on DT anyway. It seem without DT we are trying
to find some layer that would allow us to couple relevant devices
and overcome driver core inconvenience that it provides to means
to identify specific devices in advance. :) Your proposal sounds
reasonable, however I might be missing some details or corner cases.

As Felipe said, we don't want to pass pointers in platform_data
to/from random subsystems. We pass data, passing pointers would
be a total mess IMHO.

Well, this is a total mess anyway... I don't really get the point of using 
PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO. The only thing that comes to my mind is that you can 
use it if you don't care about the ID and so it can be assigned 
automatically.

However my understanding of the device ID is that it was supposed to 
provide a way to identify multiple instances of identical devices in a 
reliable way, to solve problems like the one we are trying to solve 
here...

So maybe let's stop solving an already solved problem and just state that 
you need to explicitly assign device ID to use this framework?

Best regards,
Tomasz

* [PATCH 0/29] simplify use of devm_ioremap_resource
From: Julia Lawall @ 2013-08-14  9:11 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dri-devel

	linux-pm, linux-gpio, linux-tegra, linux-omap, linux-arm-kernel,
	linux-usb, linux-kernel, linux-spi

devm_ioremap_resource often uses the result of a call to
platform_get_resource as its last argument.  devm_ioremap_resource does
appropriate error handling on this argument, so error handling can be
removed from the call site.  To make the connection between the call to
platform_get_resource and the call to devm_ioremap_resource more clear, the
former is also moved down to be adjacent to the latter.

In many cases, this patch changes the specific error value that is
returned on failure of platform_get_resource.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression pdev,res,n,e,e1;
expression ret != 0;

Remove unneeded error handling on the result of a call to

Felipe,
Can we have it the way I had in my v10 patch series till we find a better way?
I think this *non-dt* stuff shouldn't be blocking as most of the users are dt only?

* Changing which device has VTs?
From: Andy Lutomirski @ 2013-08-14 18:47 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-fbdev

I have a box with a real graphics card (radeon) and an onboard
graphics card (mgag200).  I want to use the radeon and ignore the
mgag200.  For reasons of extreme firmware suckage, I have two choices:

1. Leave both devices enabled in BIOS and set the mgag200 device
primary.  This causes efifb and later mgag200 to both point at the
mgag200.  All of my text consoles end up on the mgag200.  This is
unfortunate, especially because if, even if I set xorg to ignore the
mgag200 device, hitting ctrl-alt-f2 causes X to suspend itself and my
text console to show up on a device with no monitor attached.

2. Set the radeon device as primary in BIOS.  System doesn't boot.

I'd like to leave mgag200 primary but tell Linux to put all the text
consoles on the radeon device once it shows up.  I could compile out
both efifb and mgag200, but that seems like a waste.  Is there any way
to do this with a command-line parameter?  I tried fbcon=map:1, and I
get no fbcon at all.

the mapping stuff should work, alternative is to write some code to

Done :)  (I'm now running some mysterious unreleased BIOS -- it's
vastly superior.)

Blech.  Fortunately, my new BIOS works and I can stop worrying.
(Plymouth is still broken -- separate bug filed.)

* [PATCH v3 0/5] ARM: vf610: Add DCU framebuffer driver for Vybrid VF610 platform
From: Alison Wang @ 2013-08-15  8:01 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

This series contain DCU framebuffer driver for Freescale Vybrid VF610 platform.

The Display Controller Unit (DCU) module is a system master that
fetches graphics stored in internal or external memory and displays
them on a TFT LCD panel. A wide range of panel sizes is supported
and the timing of the interface signals is highly configurable.
Graphics are read directly from memory and then blended in real-time,
which allows for dynamic content creation with minimal CPU intervention.

The features:
(1) Full RGB888 output to TFT LCD panel.
(2) For the current LCD panel, WQVGA "480x272" is tested.
(3) Blending of each pixel using up to 4 source layers dependent on size of panel.
(4) Each graphic layer can be placed with one pixel resolution in either axis.
(5) Each graphic layer support RGB565 and RGB888 direct colors without alpha channel
and BGRA8888 direct colors with an alpha channel.
(6) Each graphic layer support alpha blending with 8-bit resolution.

Changes in v3:
- Correct DCU_MODE_BLEND_ITER macro definition.
- Remove hardcode panel description in the driver. Use the videomode helpers to get the relevant data from devicetree.
- Correct the wrong indentation.
- Use dev_* for printing messages in drivers.
- Change calc_div_ratio() to fsl_dcu_calc_div(), and rewrite this function.
- Use devm_request_irq() instead of request_irq().
- Drop useless code.
- Increase the layers number to the maximum 6.
- Use dma_alloc_writecombine() instead of dma_alloc_coherent().
- Use runtime PM.

Changes in v2:
- Add a document for DCU framebuffer driver under Documentation/devicetree/bindings/fb/.
