One of the first thing that KMS drivers do during initialization is
destroy the system firmware framebuffer by means of
`drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers`
This means that if for any reason the GPU failed to probe the user
will be stuck with at best a screen frozen at the last thing that
was shown before the KMS driver continued it's probe.
The problem is most pronounced when new GPU support is introduced
because users will need to have a recent linux-firmware snapshot
on their system when they boot a kernel with matching support.
However the problem is further exaggerated in the case of amdgpu because
it has migrated to "IP discovery" where amdgpu will attempt to load
on "ALL" AMD GPUs even if the driver is missing support for IP blocks
contained in that GPU.
IP discovery requires some probing and isn't run until after the
framebuffer has been destroyed.
This means a situation can occur where a user purchases a new GPU not
yet supported by a distribution and when booting the installer it will
"freeze" even if the distribution doesn't have the matching kernel support
for those IP blocks.
The perfect example of this is Ubuntu 21.10 and the new dGPUs just
launched by AMD. The installation media ships with kernel 5.19 (which
has IP discovery) but the amdgpu support for those IP blocks landed in
kernel 6.0. The matching linux-firmware was released after 21.10's launch.
The screen will freeze without nomodeset. Even if a user manages to install
and then upgrades to kernel 6.0 after install they'll still have the
problem of missing firmware, and the same experience.
This is quite jarring for users, particularly if they don't know
that they have to use "nomodeset" to install.
To help the situation, allow drivers to re-run the init process for the
firmware framebuffer during a failed probe. As this problem is most
pronounced with amdgpu, this is the only driver changed.
But if this makes sense more generally for other KMS drivers, the call
can be added to the cleanup routine for those too.

If the probe sequence fails then the user is stuck with a frozen
screen and can only really recover via SSH or by rebooting and
applying nomodeset to the kernel command line.
This is particularly problematic as newer GPUs are introduced because
distributions may take some time to land newer GPU firmware.
So when probe fails, re-create the system framebuffer so that the
user at least has basic graphics support.

I'm not familiar with AMD GPUs, but could be possible that this discovery
and firmware loading step be done at the beginning before the firmware FB
is removed ? That way the FB removal will not happen unless that succeeds.

The problem I see is that depending on how far the driver's probe function
went, there may not be possible to re-run the init process. Since firmware
provided framebuffer may already been destroyed or the IP block just be in
a half initialized state.
I'm not against this series if it solves the issue in practice for amdgpu,
but don't think is a general solution and would like to know Thomas' opinion
on this before as well.

Possible? I think so, but maybe Alex can comment on this after the
holidays as he's more familiar.
It would mean splitting and introducing an entirely new phase to driver
initialization. The information about the discovery table comes from VRAM.
amdgpu_driver_load_kms -> amdgpu_device_init -> amdgpu_device_ip_early_init
Basically that code specific would have to call earlier and then there
would need to be a separate set of code for all the IP blocks to *just*
collect what firmware they need.

Running on this idea I'm pretty sure that request_firmware returns
-ENOENT in this case. So another proposal for when to trigger this flow
would be to only do it on -ENOENT. We could then also change
amdgpu_discovery.c to return -ENOENT when an IP block isn't supported
instead of the current -EINVAL.
Or we could instead co-opt -ENOTSUPP and remap all the cases that we
explicitly want the system framebuffer to re-initialize to that.

Just a quick drive-by comment: as Javier noted, at some point while
probing, your driver has changed the device' state and the system FB
will be gone. you cannot reestablish the sysfb after that.
You are, however free to read device state at any time, as long as it
has no side effects.
So why not just move the call to
drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers() to a later point when
you know that your driver supports the hardware? That's the solution we
always proposed to this kind of problem. It's safe and won't require any
changes to the aperture helpers.

I was about to note exactly that as well. This effort here is
unfortunately pretty pointless.

if I'm not completely mistaken that's a little bit tricky. Currently
it's not possible to read the discovery table before disabling the VGA
and/or current framebuffer.
We might be able to do this, but it's probably not easy.

It should be possible. It's populated by the PSP/VBIOS at power up,
so all you need to do is read the right offset in vram. For
firmwares, we currently read them from the filesystem from the
relevant IP code, but we could also just read it in amdgpu_discovery.c
when we walk the IP discovery table.

I think something like this would do the trick:
