<title>fbdev: Don't sort deferred-I/O pages by default</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8c30e2d81bfddc5ab9f6b04db1c0f7d6ca7bdf46</id>
<content type='text'>
Fbdev's deferred I/O sorts all dirty pages by default, which incurs a
significant overhead. Make the sorting step optional and update the few
drivers that require it. Use a FIFO list by default.

Most fbdev drivers with deferred I/O build a bounding rectangle around
the dirty pages or simply flush the whole screen. The only two affected
DRM drivers, generic fbdev and vmwgfx, both use a bounding rectangle.
In those cases, the exact order of the pages doesn't matter. The other
drivers look at the page index or handle pages one-by-one. The patch
sets the sort_pagelist flag for those, even though some of them would
probably work correctly without sorting. Driver maintainers should update
their driver accordingly.

Sorting pages by memory offset for deferred I/O performs an implicit
bubble-sort step on the list of dirty pages. The algorithm goes through
the list of dirty pages and inserts each new page according to its
index field. Even worse, list traversal always starts at the first
entry. As video memory is most likely updated scanline by scanline, the
algorithm traverses through the complete list for each updated page.

For example, with 1024x768x32bpp each page covers exactly one scanline.
Writing a single screen update from top to bottom requires updating
768 pages. With an average list length of 384 entries, a screen update
creates (768 * 384 =) 294912 compare operation.

Fix this by making the sorting step opt-in and update the few drivers
that require it. All other drivers work with unsorted page lists. Pages
are appended to the list. Therefore, in the common case of writing the
framebuffer top to bottom, pages are still sorted by offset, which may
have a positive effect on performance.

Playing a video [1] in mplayer's benchmark mode shows the difference
(i7-4790, FullHD, simpledrm, kernel with debugging).

  mplayer -benchmark -nosound -vo fbdev ./big_buck_bunny_720p_stereo.ogg

With sorted page lists:

  BENCHMARKs: VC:  32.960s VO:  73.068s A:   0.000s Sys:   2.413s =  108.441s
  BENCHMARK%: VC: 30.3947% VO: 67.3802% A:  0.0000% Sys:  2.2251% = 100.0000%

With unsorted page lists:

  BENCHMARKs: VC:  31.005s VO:  42.889s A:   0.000s Sys:   2.256s =   76.150s
  BENCHMARK%: VC: 40.7156% VO: 56.3219% A:  0.0000% Sys:  2.9625% = 100.0000%

VC shows the overhead of video decoding, VO shows the overhead of the
video output. Using unsorted page lists reduces the benchmark's run time
by ~32s/~25%.

v2:
	* Make sorted pagelists the special case (Sam)
	* Comment on drivers' use of pagelist (Sam)
	* Warn about the overhead in comment

<title>Revert "fbdev: Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration, part 1 (from TODO list)"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1148836fd3226c20de841084aba24184d4fbbe77</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit b3ec8cdf457e5e63d396fe1346cc788cf7c1b578.

Revert the second (of 2) commits which disabled scrolling acceleration
in fbcon/fbdev.  It introduced a regression for fbdev-supported graphic
cards because of the performance penalty by doing screen scrolling by
software instead of using the existing graphic card 2D hardware
acceleration.

Console scrolling acceleration was disabled by dropping code which
checked at runtime the driver hardware capabilities for the
BINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA or FBINFO_HWACCEL_FILLRECT flags and if set, it
enabled scrollmode SCROLL_MOVE which uses hardware acceleration to move
screen contents.  After dropping those checks scrollmode was hard-wired
to SCROLL_REDRAW instead, which forces all graphic cards to redraw every
character at the new screen position when scrolling.

This change effectively disabled all hardware-based scrolling acceleration for
ALL drivers, because now all kind of 2D hardware acceleration (bitblt,
fillrect) in the drivers isn't used any longer.

The original commit message mentions that only 3 DRM drivers (nouveau, omapdrm
and gma500) used hardware acceleration in the past and thus code for checking
and using scrolling acceleration is obsolete.

This statement is NOT TRUE, because beside the DRM drivers there are around 35
other fbdev drivers which depend on fbdev/fbcon and still provide hardware
acceleration for fbdev/fbcon.

The original commit message also states that syzbot found lots of bugs in fbcon
and thus it's "often the solution to just delete code and remove features".
This is true, and the bugs - which actually affected all users of fbcon,
including DRM - were fixed, or code was dropped like e.g. the support for
software scrollback in vgacon (commit 973c096f6a85).

So to further analyze which bugs were found by syzbot, I've looked through all
patches in drivers/video which were tagged with syzbot or syzkaller back to
year 2005. The vast majority fixed the reported issues on a higher level, e.g.
when screen is to be resized, or when font size is to be changed. The few ones
which touched driver code fixed a real driver bug, e.g. by adding a check.

But NONE of those patches touched code of either the SCROLL_MOVE or the
SCROLL_REDRAW case.

That means, there was no real reason why SCROLL_MOVE had to be ripped-out and
just SCROLL_REDRAW had to be used instead. The only reason I can imagine so far
was that SCROLL_MOVE wasn't used by DRM and as such it was assumed that it
could go away. That argument completely missed the fact that SCROLL_MOVE is
still heavily used by fbdev (non-DRM) drivers.

Some people mention that using memcpy() instead of the hardware acceleration is
pretty much the same speed. But that's not true, at least not for older graphic
cards and machines where we see speed decreases by factor 10 and more and thus
this change leads to console responsiveness way worse than before.

That's why the original commit is to be reverted. By reverting we
reintroduce hardware-based scrolling acceleration and fix the
performance regression for fbdev drivers.

There isn't any impact on DRM when reverting those patches.

<title>fbdev: Hot-unplug firmware fb devices on forced removal</title>

<content type='text'>
Hot-unplug all firmware-framebuffer devices as part of removing
them via remove_conflicting_framebuffers() et al. Releases all
memory regions to be acquired by native drivers.

Firmware, such as EFI, install a framebuffer while posting the
computer. After removing the firmware-framebuffer device from fbdev,
a native driver takes over the hardware and the firmware framebuffer
becomes invalid.

Firmware-framebuffer drivers, specifically simplefb, don't release
their device from Linux' device hierarchy. It still owns the firmware
framebuffer and blocks the native drivers from loading. This has been
observed in the vmwgfx driver. [1]

Initiating a device removal (i.e., hot unplug) as part of
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() removes the underlying device and
returns the memory range to the system.
