TL;DR - I'm pretty relaxed about these changes... but I'd like
to know how to test the changes.
Like Doug I only really use kdb via serial but, since I'm maintain
the thing I do occasionally test kdb works on the qemu console. I don't
do it very often though because it's a manual test!
I'd assume that will still work since it won't involve any of the
drivers above. I'm afraid I can't double check that since patch 4
doesn't apply cleanly in v6.18-rc7 (nor to linux-next... and neither
does the base-commit appear in linux-next).
Anyhow, the only testing I do for kgdboc=kms,kdb is to boot an x86-64
defconfig+kgdb+kdb kernel in qemu with something like the following
command line, which FWIW does still work:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1G -smp 2 \
-kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
-monitor none -chardev stdio,id=mon,mux=on,signal=off \
-serial chardev:mon \
-initrd rootfs.cpio.gz \
-append " console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 kgdboc=kms,kbd,ttyS0 kgdbwait"
The reason I'm fairly relaxed about changes here is that the kbd driver
only works on PCs with legacy keyboard interfaces. If the kernel is
talking to the keyboard using USB or I2C (which almost all PCs do) then
kdb cannot be used anyway.
So... it would be a "cool project"[1] to get kdb running on
a special interrupt-free I2C mode and with the DRM panic code so you
can do live analysis if your laptop/chomebook crashes. However it is
simply not "real enough" to justify slowing down other developers.

It would good to common this up with cgbc_bl_get_brightness() by
providing a helper that takes struct cgbc_bl_data * and calling it
from both places.

To test its effects, ignore this series and simply clear the two
calbacks at [1]. This is where the debugger invokes fbcon. The series
removes their implementation in the final patch.

Good to know. Also looking at Nouveau, the "core" part of that driver (nvkm)
does not use dmabuf, it is only the DRM parts. It is unlikely nova-core will
have to deal with dmabufs or gem objects AFAICS. That's a DRM thing.

* [PATCH v3 0/9] arch,sysfb,efi: Support EDID on non-x86 EFI systems
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2025-11-26 16:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

Replace screen_info and edid_info with sysfb_primary_device of type
struct sysfb_display_info. Update all users. Then implement EDID support
in the kernel EFI code.
Sysfb DRM drivers currently fetch the global edid_info directly, when
they should get that information together with the screen_info from their
device. Wrapping screen_info and edid_info in sysfb_primary_display and
passing this to drivers enables this.
Replacing both with sysfb_primary_display has been motivate by the EFI
stub. EFI wants to transfer EDID via config table in a single entry.
Using struct sysfb_display_info this will become easily possible. Hence
accept some churn in architecture code for the long-term improvements.
Patches 1 and 2 reduce the exposure of screen_info in EFI-related code.
Patch 3 adds struct sysfb_display_info.
Patch 4 replaces scren_info with sysfb_primary_display. This results in
several changes throught the kernel, but is really just a refactoring.
Patch 5 updates sysfb to transfer sysfb_primary_display to the related
drivers.
Patch 6 moves edid_info into sysfb_primary_display. This resolves some
drivers' reference to the global edid_info, but also makes the EDID data
available on non-x86 architectures.
Patches 7 and 8 add support for EDID transfers on non-x86 EFI systems.
Patch 9 cleans up the config-table allocation to be easier to understand.
v3:
- replace SCREEN_INFO table entry (Ard)
- merge libstub patch into kernel patch
v2:
- combine v1 of the series at [1] plus changes from [2] and [3].

* [PATCH v3 4/9] sysfb: Replace screen_info with sysfb_primary_display

Replace the global screen_info with sysfb_primary_display of type
struct sysfb_display_info. Adapt all users of screen_info.
Instances of screen_info are defined for x86, loongarch and EFI,
with only one instance compiled into a specific build. Replace all
of them with sysfb_primary_display.
All existing users of screen_info are updated by pointing them to
sysfb_primary_display.screen instead. This introduces some churn to
the code, but has no impact on functionality.
Boot parameters and EFI config tables are unchanged. They transfer
screen_info as before. The logic in EFI's alloc_screen_info() changes
slightly, as it now returns the screen field of sysfb_primary_display.
v2:
- update comment
- rename init_screen_info() to init_primary_display()

* [PATCH v3 1/9] efi: earlycon: Reduce number of references to global screen_info
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2025-11-26 16:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ardb, javierm, arnd, richard.lyu, helgaas
Cc: x86, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel, linux-efi, loongarch,
linux-riscv, dri-devel, linux-hyperv, linux-pci, linux-fbdev,
Thomas Zimmermann
In-Reply-To: <20251126160854.553077-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Replace usage of global screen_info with local pointers. This will
later reduce churn when screen_info is being moved.
v2:
- fix coding style

* [PATCH v3 5/9] sysfb: Pass sysfb_primary_display to devices
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2025-11-26 16:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <20251126160854.553077-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Instead of screen_info, store a copy of sysfb_primary_display as
device data. Pick it up in drivers. Later changes will add additional
data to the display info, such as EDID information.

* [PATCH v3 6/9] sysfb: Move edid_info into sysfb_primary_display
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2025-11-26 16:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ardb, javierm, arnd, richard.lyu, helgaas
Cc: x86, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel, linux-efi, loongarch,
linux-riscv, dri-devel, linux-hyperv, linux-pci, linux-fbdev,
Thomas Zimmermann
In-Reply-To: <20251126160854.553077-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Move x86's edid_info into sysfb_primary_display as a new field named
edid. Adapt all users.
An instance of edid_info has only been defined on x86. With the move
into sysfb_primary_display, it becomes available on all architectures.
Therefore remove this contraint from CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID.
x86 fills the EDID data from boot_params.edid_info. DRM drivers pick
up the raw data and make it available to DRM clients. Replace the
drivers' references to edid_info and instead use the sysfb_display_info
as passed from sysfb.
v2:
- drop changes to CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID

In-Reply-To: <20251126160854.553077-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Add struct sysfb_display_info to wrap display-related state. For now
it contains only the screen's video mode. Later EDID will be added as
well.
This struct will be helpful for passing display state to sysfb drivers
or from the EFI stub library.

* [PATCH v3 8/9] efi: Support EDID information
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2025-11-26 16:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

In-Reply-To: <20251126160854.553077-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
In the EFI config table, rename LINUX_EFI_SCREEN_INFO_TABLE_GUID to
LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID. Read sysfb_primary_display
from the entry. In addition to the screen_info, the entry now also
contains EDID information.
In libstub, replace struct screen_info with struct sysfb_display_info
from the kernel's sysfb_primary_display and rename functions accordingly.
Transfer it to the runtime kernel using the kernel's global state or
the config-table entry LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID.
With CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y, libstub now transfers the GOP device's
EDID information to the kernel. If CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=n, EDID
information is disabled. Make the Kconfig symbol CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID
available with EFI. Setting the value to 'n' disables EDID support.
Also rename screen_info.c to primary_display.c and adapt the contained
comment according to the changes.
v3:
- replace SCREEN_INFO table (Ard)
- merge libstub changes

* [PATCH v3 9/9] efi: libstub: Simplify interfaces for primary_display
From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2025-11-26 16:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: ardb, javierm, arnd, richard.lyu, helgaas
Cc: x86, linux-arm-kernel, linux-kernel, linux-efi, loongarch,
linux-riscv, dri-devel, linux-hyperv, linux-pci, linux-fbdev,
Thomas Zimmermann
In-Reply-To: <20251126160854.553077-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Rename alloc_primary_display() and __alloc_primary_display(), clarify
free semantics to make interfaces easier to understand.
Rename alloc_primary_display() to lookup_primary_display() as it
does not necessarily allocate. Then rename __alloc_primary_display()
to the new alloc_primary_display(). The helper belongs to
free_primary_display), so it should be named without underscores.
The lookup helper does not necessarily allocate, so the output
parameter needs_free to indicate when free should be called. Pass
an argument through the calls to track this state. Put the free
handling into release_primary_display() for simplificy.
Also move the comment fro primary_display.c to efi-stub-entry.c,
where it now describes lookup_primary_display().

Hi Thomas,
I am attempting to test this patch series but encountered merge conflicts when applying it to various trees.
Could you please clarify the specific base commit (or branch/tag) this series was generated against?
When testing on the next branch on commits 7a2ff00 and e41ef37, I hit a conflict on PATCH v3 4/9:
patching file drivers/pci/vgaarb.c
Hunk #2 FAILED at 557.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file drivers/pci/vgaarb.c
When testing against 3a86608 (Linux 6.18-rc1), the following conflicts occurred:
patching file drivers/gpu/drm/sysfb/efidrm.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 24.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file drivers/gpu/drm/sysfb/efidrm.c
patching file drivers/gpu/drm/sysfb/vesadrm.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 25.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- rejects in file drivers/gpu/drm/sysfb/vesadrm.c
Please let me know the correct base, and I will retest.
Thanks,
Richard Lyu

It's in the cover letter: d724c6f85e80a23ed46b7ebc6e38b527c09d64f5 The
commit is in linux-next. The idea is that the EFI tree can pick up the
changes easily in the next cycle. linux-next seemed like the best
choice. Best regards Thomas

* [PATCH v4 0/2] Backlight driver to control backlight behind Congatec Board Controller.
From: Petri Karhula via B4 Relay @ 2025-11-27 15:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Thomas Richard, Lee Jones, Daniel Thompson, Jingoo Han,
Helge Deller
Cc: linux-kernel, dri-devel, linux-fbdev, Petri Karhula
This driver provides backlight brightness control through the Linux
backlight subsystem. It communicates with the board controller to
adjust LCD backlight using PWM signals. Communication is done
through Congatec Board Controller core driver.
Signed-off-by: Petri Karhula <petri.karhula@novatron.fi>
---
Changes in v4:
- Factor out brightness read into a helper
- Set backlight_properties.scale to BACKLIGHT_SCALE_LINEAR
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251125-cgbc-backlight-v3-0-18ae42689411@novatron.fi
Changes in v3:
- Fixed review comments and simplified the structure of the driver
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251119-cgbc-backlight-v2-0-4d4edd7ca662@novatron.fi
Changes in v2:
- Separated Board Controller core driver change into its own patch
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251118-cgbc-backlight-v1-1-cc6ac5301034@novatron.fi

This driver provides backlight brightness control through the Linux
backlight subsystem. It communicates with the board controller to
adjust LCD backlight using PWM signals. Communication is done
through Congatec Board Controller core driver.
