nds32: Remove the architecture

2022-03-07T12:54:59Z

The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes employees. As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V, and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline support any more. While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

fbcon: Add option to enable legacy hardware acceleration

2022-02-02T14:16:26Z

Add a config option CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_LEGACY_ACCELERATION to enable bitblt and fillrect hardware acceleration in the framebuffer console. If disabled, such acceleration will not be used, even if it is supported by the graphics hardware driver. If you plan to use DRM as your main graphics output system, you should disable this option since it will prevent compiling in code which isn't used later on when DRM takes over. For all other configurations, e.g. if none of your graphic cards support DRM (yet), DRM isn't available for your architecture, or you can't be sure that the graphic card in the target system will support DRM, you most likely want to enable this option. In the non-accelerated case (e.g. when DRM is used), the inlined fb_scrollmode() function is hardcoded to return SCROLL_REDRAW and as such the compiler is able to optimize much unneccesary code away. In this v3 patch version I additionally changed the GETVYRES() and GETVXRES() macros to take a pointer to the fbcon_display struct. This fixes the build when console rotation is enabled and helps the compiler again to optimize out code.

drm: Move nomodeset kernel parameter to the DRM subsystem

2021-11-27T12:52:22Z

The "nomodeset" kernel cmdline parameter is handled by the vgacon driver but the exported vgacon_text_force() symbol is only used by DRM drivers. It makes much more sense for the parameter logic to be in the subsystem of the drivers that are making use of it. Let's move the vgacon_text_force() function and related logic to the DRM subsystem. While doing that, rename it to drm_firmware_drivers_only() and make it return true if "nomodeset" was used and false otherwise. This is a better description of the condition that the drivers are testing for.

vgacon: Propagate console boot parameters before calling `vc_resize'

2021-11-25T17:23:57Z

Fix a division by zero in `vgacon_resize' with a backtrace like: vgacon_resize vc_do_resize vgacon_init do_bind_con_driver do_unbind_con_driver fbcon_fb_unbind do_unregister_framebuffer do_register_framebuffer register_framebuffer __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock drm_helper_hpd_irq_event dw_hdmi_irq irq_thread kthread caused by `c->vc_cell_height' not having been initialized. This has only started to trigger with commit 860dafa90259 ("vt: Fix character height handling with VT_RESIZEX"), however the ultimate offender is commit 50ec42edd978 ("[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix vgacon to allow retaking of the console"). Said commit has added a call to `vc_resize' whenever `vgacon_init' is called with the `init' argument set to 0, which did not happen before. And the call is made before a key vgacon boot parameter retrieved in `vgacon_startup' has been propagated in `vgacon_init' for `vc_resize' to use to the console structure being worked on. Previously the parameter was `c->vc_font.height' and now it is `c->vc_cell_height'. In this particular scenario the registration of fbcon has failed and vt resorts to vgacon. Now fbcon does have initialized `c->vc_font.height' somehow, unlike `c->vc_cell_height', which is why this code did not crash before, but either way the boot parameters should have been copied to the console structure ahead of the call to `vc_resize' rather than afterwards, so that first the call has a chance to use them and second they do not change the console structure to something possibly different from what was used by `vc_resize'. Move the propagation of the vgacon boot parameters ahead of the call to `vc_resize' then. Adjust the comment accordingly.
