Since commit 051a6d8d3ca0 ("drm/i915: Move LUT programming to happen after

lines on 2 Cherry Trail devices when the gamma table gets set for the first
time. A blue flash on a GPD win and a yellow flash on an Asus T100HA.
The problem is that since this change, the LUT is programmed after the
write *and latching* of the double-buffered register which causes the LUT
to be used starting at the next frame. This means that the old LUT is still
used for the first couple of lines of the display. If no LUT was in use
before then the LUT registers may contain bogus values. This leads to
messed up colors until the new LUT values are written. At least on CHT DSI
panels this causes messed up colors on the first few lines.
This commit fixes this by adding a load_lut_before_commit boolean,
modifying intel_begin_crtc_commit to load the luts earlier if this is set,
and setting this from intel_color_check when a LUT table was not in use
before (and thus may contain bogus values), or when the table size
changes.
The real solution is vblank workers, which I have somewhat implemented
here:
git://github.com/vsyrjala/linux.git vblank_worker_8_kthread
Though even with the qos tricks there we still probably can't quite make
it in time. Essentially we have a bit less than one scanline after start
of vblank to do the work before pixels start to flow through the pipe.
We might be extend that to almost four scanlines but that partocular
thing is documeted as debug feature so not sure we should really use it.
Also I don't think four scanlines is always enough either. So it's still
very much possible that we get the first 100 or so pixels with the old LUT.
Thank you for the info and for the review.

The 'no gamma -> yes gamma' thing I might be willing to accept. The rest
not so much. I was already pondering about such optimizations for the
plane gamma/csc stuff in my vblank branch.
Ok, so I can submit a v2 based on dinq with only the
if (!old_crtc_state->base.gamma_lut && new_crtc_state->base.gamma_lut)
check, or
But for the fastboot case I think what we could do is just sanitize
the LUT(s) after readout if gamma wasn't enabled by the BIOS.
We could do this, but this falls a bit outside of my expertise, I would be
more then happy to test a patch on one of the machines which needs this
LUTS sanitizing though. I get a very visible flash of a couple of bright
blue or yellow (2 different machines) on the upper few lines the first
time the gamma table gets loaded, so verifying that the sanitation kicks
in is easy.
Actually, how recent is your kernel?
Some issues with the gamma readout were fixed quite recently:
9b000b47cc18 ("drm/i915/color: fix broken gamma state-checker during boot")
d50341274d01 ("drm/i915/color: move check of gamma_enable to specific
func/platform")
I was testing with 5.4-rc# which does not have these commits. I've switched
to dinq but that does not help.
If those don't help we could try the quick path and just blast the
gamma from orbit like so:

Ok, I've given this a try, but this also does not help, which is somewhat
expected. We only load the LUT when crtc_state->gamma_lut != NULL so
I believe that explicitly setting to NULL from intel_initial_commit() does
not make a difference, as the PIPECONF_GAMMA_MODE bits in the PIPECONF register
are already set to disabled.
If anything we should force load a linear gamma table to the pipe's LUT at
probe time when gamma was not enabled by the GOP, rather then setting the
gamma_lut to NULL.
My theory is that the LUT is *not* used by the GOP so crtc_state->gamma_enable
is initially false. The problem happens when userspace then actually sets
the gamma_lut blob. My theory is as follows:
1. GOP initializes DSI panel on CHT, does not use the "legacy gamma LUT"
2. i915 driver loads, all is well
3. plymouth does a drmModeCrtcSetGamma
4. intel_color.c sets crtc_state->gamma_enable to true on the commit
5. Since commit 051a6d8d3ca0 ("drm/i915: Move LUT programming to happen after vblank
waits")
we program the double-bufferred PIPECONF register which has the legacy gamma
enable bit
before the vblank;
6. While we upload the new legacy gamma LUT values after vblank.
7. This causes the first few lines of the frame after the vblank to use the old
LUT
values and the old values appear to contain noise (this seems to be the same
noise every boot given a certain model hw). This noise leads to a bright
blue or yellow
(depending on the hw) flash in the first couple of lines.
I will submit a new version of my patch checking only gamma_enable as you
requested,
then we'll see from there.

Hans
