Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add generic framebuffer support to EFI earlycon driver

Make the EFI earlycon driver be suitable for any linear framebuffers.
This should be helpful for early porting of boards with no other means of
output, like smartphones/tablets. There seems to be an issue with early_ioremap
function on ARM32, but I am unable to find the exact cause. It appears the mappings
returned by it are somehow incorrect, thus the driver is disabled on ARM. EFI early
console was disabled on IA64 previously, so I kept it in EFI earlycon Kconfig.

This patch also changes behavior on EFI systems, by selecting the mapping type
based on if the framebuffer region intersects with system RAM. If it does, it's
common sense that it should be in RAM as a whole, and so the system RAM mapping is
used. It was tested to be working on my PC (Intel Z490 platform).

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] drivers: serial: earlycon: Pass device-tree node

Pass a pointer to device-tree node in case the driver probed from
OF. This makes early console drivers able to fetch options from
device-tree node properties.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] efi: earlycon: Add support for generic framebuffers and move to fbdev subsystem

Add early console support for generic linear framebuffer devices.
This driver supports probing from cmdline early parameters
or from the device-tree using information in simple-framebuffer node.
The EFI functionality should be retained in whole.
The driver was disabled on ARM because of a bug in early_ioremap
implementation on ARM.

It looks like this is not actually related to fbdev, and since drivers are
moving from fbdev/simplefb towards drm/simpledrm, maybe it would be
better to put this into either drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/ or possibly
drivers/video/console to let this be used without enabling fbdev?

Git will show a rename and modification properly, if you use -M to git
format-patch, so it should be fine.

Ideally this shouldn't depend on anything, because it isn't utilizing
any of fbdev code and won't be utilizing any of drm/console code. I
agree that either of those would be a better place for it, but which one
do you think would suit more for this driver?

That should not be an unsigned long, but rather an 'int'. Something got
messed up, of_setup_earlycon() should be changed to reflect this before
propagating the error to other places in the kernel.

And it's not really a "node" but an "offset", right?

I think ideally this would be integrated with simpledrm in the long run,
but I have no idea what that means in terms of future code changes.

Maybe Thomas Zimmermann has an idea here.

It's not a graphics driver, so it doesn't belong to fbdev or DRM. I'd
put the code under drivers/video/console.

Direct integration with simpledrm (or any other firmware graphics
driver) is probably not an option. Those drivers operate on platform
devices, which aren't available when earlycon runs.

There's no management of framebuffer ownership AFAICT? For fbdev and
DRM, we manage the ownership of the framebuffer memory. When a driver
takes over the framebuffer, it first has to remove any driver previously
owning that memory. That apparently hasn't been a need for early
consoles so far (?) Maybe we should integrate them into the ownership
management (see drivers/video/aperture.c).

Thomas

I think it's a pointer to use `git format-patch -M -C ...` when

It's a pointer, but what puzzles me, why it can't be declared as a such:

struct device_node *node;

?

If somebody passes those (legacy) options, what will happen?

This doesn't sound right. Previously on my configuration it was
selected automatically, now I need to select it explicitly? I mean
that for me EFI_EARLYCON should be selected by default as it was
before.

Was it in the original code? Otherwise, I would go with plain conditional:

if (region_intersects())
base = ...
else
base = ...

Wondering if we already have something like this in DRM/fbdev and can
split into a generic helper.

Don't we have some standard template of this, something like XxYxD,
where X, Y, and D are respective decimal numbers?

It should not be a pointer, trace things backwards, it comes from a call
to of_setup_earlycon() from early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout() which has
offset declared as an int, and then does:
if (of_setup_earlycon(match, offset, options) == 0)

So why would it be a node?

This is a very good question.

It's me who is missing something here, thanks for your elaboration!
After it it becomes clear that your first question should be
addressed.

Those would be ignored. Instead it would be automatically determined if
framebuffer is located in RAM or in the I/O space.

The problem I had with EFI_EARLYCON selected by default was that it
would also carry fbdev with itself. Luckily, that's solved if it's moved
to console subsystem.

It wasn't in original code. Original code assumed MEMREMAP_WC always
unless "ram" was specified as an option to efifb (e.g.
earlycon=efifb,ram). This code instead checks if the framebuffer is in
RAM, and sets the mapping accordingly.

Another issue is that region_intersects() returns REGION_INTERSECTS
(defined as 0) when true. I suppose we could use something like:

if (region_intersects() == REGION_INTERSECTS)
...

I believe we won't introduce more chaos in already existing formats of
one or another thing, so I prefer to be stuck with in practice use
(e.g. "1024x768x16" without quotes for x=1024, y=768, depth=16).

It appears that there are so many changes Git would refuse to make it a
"move" no matter what I do. What should be done here: should it be two
separate commits for move/change or should it just be kept as delete/create?

One commit to move the file, and then add your changes on top of it
might be the easiest to review, right?

+1

I think this should be a least
- commit to move the file, as unchanged as possible
- commit to auto-select the right mapping mode (or maybe that's only in
v2)
- actual change to add the simplefb support with a clearly readable diff

But also video/console is for Greg to maintain, I'm trying hard to not go
even more stupid :-)
