This seems like a worthy goal, and I'm not opposed to the patch per
se, but it seems a bit at odds with what this header represents.
atombios.h represents the memory layout of the data stored in the ROM
on the GPU. This changes the memory layout of that ROM. We can work
around that in the driver code, but if someone were to take this
header to try and write some standalone tool or use it for something
else in the kernel, it would not reflect reality.

Hi Alex, thanks for taking the time to review this patch.
I see where you are coming from and why you may be apprehensive with the
approach. From my humble point of view, I think that the artificial line
that separates "what we can change at will" and "what we should be extra
careful not to break/confuse others" is whether the header file is part
of the UAPI. Given that atombios.h isn't publicly accessible, I tend to
gravitate towards the first one.

I am assuming that this is the part of the patch that makes you feel
concerned about how devs will get it (should they copy this header),
is that right?
If so, would a comment on the ATOM_FAKE_EDID_PATCH_RECORD struct
specifying the size of the struct when empty do the trick?

It may not be publicly accessible, but it describes a physical thing
that is burned into millions of GPU boards out in the wild. There are
tons of open source tools out there that take these headers from the
kernel to be able to parse the date in the ROM on the GPU. If those
applications sync up with the latest version of the header from the
kernel, it will break their tools. The next time someone from AMD
syncs up the header with the version maintained by the vbios team, the
change could accidently sneak back in and break the code. It seems to
me in this particular case that the header should reflect the physical
layout of the ROM since that is what it describes.

Does the ROM always only have a single byte there? This seems unlikely
given the member "ucFakeEDIDLength" (and the code below).
The problem on the kernel side is that the code just before the patch
context in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/atombios_encoders.c will become
a problem soon:
if (fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength) {
struct edid *edid;
int edid_size =
max((int)EDID_LENGTH, (int)fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength);
edid = kmalloc(edid_size, GFP_KERNEL);
if (edid) {
memcpy((u8 *)edid, (u8 *)&fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDString[0],
fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength);
if (drm_edid_is_valid(edid)) {
...
the memcpy() from "fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDString" will eventually
start to WARN, since the size of that field will be seen as a single byte
under -fstrict-flex-arrays. At this moment, no, there's neither source
bounds checking nor -fstrict-flex-arrays, but we're trying to clean up
everything we can find now so that we don't have to do this all again
later. :)
-Kees
P.S. Also this could be shorter with fewer casts:
struct edid *edid;
u8 edid_size =
max_t(u8, EDID_LENGTH, fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength);
edid = kmemdup(fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDString, edid_size, GFP_KERNEL);
if (edid) {
if (drm_edid_is_valid(edid)) {
adev->mode_info.bios_hardcoded_edid = edid;
...

But this is exactly what the code currently does, as noted in the commit
log: "It's worth mentioning that doing a build before/after this patch

Right, but if true, that seems to be a distinctly separate bug fix?

I'm not sure. I'm mostly concerned about this:
record +=
fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength ?
fake_edid_record->ucFakeEDIDLength + 2 :
sizeof(ATOM_FAKE_EDID_PATCH_RECORD);
Presumably the record should only exist if ucFakeEDIDLength is non 0,
but I don't know if there are some OEMs out there that just included
an empty record for some reason. Maybe the code is wrong today and
there are some OEMs that include it and the array is already size 0.
In that case, Paulo's original patches are probably more correct.
