d006a9b63d drm/client: remove the exporting of drm_client_close
The function drm_client_close is declared as static and marked as
EXPORT_SYMBOL. It's a bit confusing for an internal function to be
exported. The area of visibility for such function is its .c file
and all other modules. Other *.c files of the same module can't use it,
despite all other modules can. Relying on the fact that this is the
internal function and it's not a crucial part of the API, the patch
removes the EXPORT_SYMBOL marking of drm_client_close.

cf1ca9aeb9 drm/fb-helper: Map DRM client buffer only when required
This patch changes DRM clients to not map the buffer by default. The
buffer, like any buffer object, should be mapped and unmapped when
needed.

An unmapped buffer object can be evicted to system memory and does
not consume video ram until displayed. This allows to use generic fbdev
emulation with drivers for low-memory devices, such as ast and mgag200.

This change affects the generic framebuffer console. HW-based consoles
map their console buffer once and keep it mapped. Userspace can mmap this
buffer into its address space. The shadow-buffered framebuffer console
only needs the buffer object to be mapped during updates. While not being
updated from the shadow buffer, the buffer object can remain unmapped.
Userspace will always mmap the shadow buffer.

v2:
	* change DRM client to not map buffer by default
	* manually map client buffer for fbdev with HW framebuffer

15dd0fc833 drm/client: Support unmapping of DRM client buffers
DRM clients, such as the fbdev emulation, have their buffer objects
mapped by default. Mapping a buffer implicitly prevents its relocation.
Hence, the buffer may permanently consume video memory while it's
allocated. This is a problem for drivers of low-memory devices, such as
ast, mgag200 or older framebuffer hardware, which will then not have
enough memory to display other content (e.g., X11).

This patch introduces drm_client_buffer_vmap() and _vunmap(). Internal
DRM clients can use these functions to unmap and remap buffer objects
as needed.

There's no reference counting for vmap operations. Callers are expected
to either keep buffers mapped (as it is now), or call vmap and vunmap
in pairs around code that accesses the mapped memory.

v2:
	* remove several duplicated NULL-pointer checks
v3:
	* style and typo fixes

d81294afee drm/fb-helper: Remove drm_fb_helper_crtc
struct drm_fb_helper_crtc is now just a wrapper around drm_mode_set so
use that directly instead and attach it as a modeset array onto
drm_client_dev. drm_fb_helper will use this array to store its modesets
which means it will always initialize a drm_client, but it will not
register the client (callbacks) unless it's the generic fbdev emulation.

Code will later be moved to drm_client, so add code there in a new file
drm_client_modeset.c with MIT license to match drm_fb_helper.c.

The modeset connector array size is hardcoded for the cloned case to avoid
having to pass in a value from the driver. A value of 8 is chosen to err
on the safe side. This means that the max connector argument for
drm_fb_helper_init() and drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup() isn't used anymore,
a todo entry for this is added.

In pan_display_atomic() restore_fbdev_mode_force() is used instead of
restore_fbdev_mode_atomic() because that one will later become internal
to drm_client_modeset.

Locking order:
1. drm_fb_helper->lock
2. drm_master_internal_acquire
3. drm_client_dev->modeset_mutex

v6: Improve commit message (Sam Ravnborg)

v3:
- Use full drm_client_init/release for the modesets (Daniel Vetter)
- drm_client_for_each_modeset: use lockdep_assert_held (Daniel Vetter)
- Hook up to Documentation/gpu/drm-client.rst (Daniel Vetter)

v2:
- Add modesets array to drm_client (Daniel Vetter)
- Use a new file for the modeset code (Daniel Vetter)
- File has to be MIT licensed (Emmanuel Vadot)
- Add copyrights from drm_fb_helper.c

drm: Remove users of drm_format_info_plane_cpp

drm/fourcc: Pass the format_info pointer to drm_format_plane_cpp
So far, the drm_format_plane_cpp function was operating on the format's
fourcc and was doing a lookup to retrieve the drm_format_info structure and
return the cpp.

However, this is inefficient since in most cases, we will have the
drm_format_info pointer already available so we shouldn't have to perform a
new lookup. Some drm_fourcc functions also already operate on the
drm_format_info pointer for that reason, so the API is quite inconsistent
there.

Let's follow the latter pattern and remove the extra lookup while being a
bit more consistent. In order to be extra consistent, also rename that
function to drm_format_info_plane_cpp and to a static function in the
header to match the current policy.

b39b5394fa drm/gem: Add drm_gem_object_funcs
This adds an optional function table on GEM objects.
The main benefit is for drivers that support more than one type of
memory (shmem,vram,cma) for their buffers depending on the hardware it
runs on. With the callbacks attached to the GEM object itself, it is
easier to have core helpers for the the various buffer types. The driver
only has to make the decision about buffer type on GEM object creation
and all other callbacks can be handled by the chosen helper.

drm_driver->gem_prime_res_obj has not been added since there's a todo to
put a reservation_object into drm_gem_object.

v3: Add todo entry

v2: Drop drm_gem_object_funcs->prime_mmap in favour of
drm_gem_prime_mmap() (Daniel Vetter)

v1:
- drm_gem_object_funcs.map -> .prime_map let it only do PRIME mmap like
  the function it superseeds (Daniel Vetter)
- Flip around the if ladders and make obj->funcs the first choice

The reason for this is that drm_fbdev_cma_init() removes the drm_client
when fbdev registration fails, but it doesn't remove the client from the
drm_device client list. So the client list now has a pointer that points
into the unknown and we have a 'use after free' situation.

Split drm_client_new() into drm_client_init() and drm_client_add() to fix
removal in the error path.

69fdf4206a drm: Differentiate the lack of an interface from invalid parameter
If the ioctl is not supported on a particular piece of HW/driver
combination, report ENOTSUP (aka EOPNOTSUPP) so that it can be easily
distinguished from both the lack of the ioctl and from a regular invalid
parameter.

v2: Across all the kms ioctls we had a mixture of reporting EINVAL,
ENODEV and a few ENOTSUPP (most where EINVAL) for a failed
drm_core_check_feature(). Update everybody to report ENOTSUPP.

v3: ENOTSUPP is an internal errno! It's value (524) does not correspond
to a POSIX errno, the one we want is ENOTSUP. However,
uapi/asm-generic/errno.h doesn't include ENOTSUP but man errno says

	"ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP have the same value on Linux,
	but according to POSIX.1 these error values should be
	distinct."

so use EOPNOTSUPP as its equivalent.

Commit 894a677f4b ("drm/cma-helper: Use the generic fbdev emulation")
broke almost all drivers that use the CMA helper.

The reason is that drm_client_new() requires that the DRM device has
been registered, but the drivers register fbdev before registering DRM.

Remove the requirement that DRM should be registered when creating a
new client.

c76f0f7cb5 drm: Begin an API for in-kernel clients
This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients.
First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer.

Only GEM drivers are supported.
The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it
also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the
buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use
drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a
GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM
driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be
worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably
will when we have a bootsplash client.
