Oh sure, will do. I'm not about to submit anything yet anyway, and it
will go through a cleanup phase. The above is just residual of quilt
picking up a file where I added something, then removed it.

The above isn't whitespace damage, it's aligning of the 3 variable
names properly in a column :) I dislike those DECLARE_*() macros because
of that btw. That one is a matter of style, I'm experiencing a bit with
this, but it's definitely intentional.

It's your lucky day ;) I've just assembled a PC with 2 PCI video card (S3
something and a Matrox Mystique) and I think that I've an old ISA video
card somewhere (if it can be usefull).
Feel free to put me on CC when you have something to test.

Jon, I think the arbiters have to be per-resource rather than per-legacy 
space.  AIUI, the arbiters are there to deal with multiple devices on the 
same bus that respond to the same cycles, like two VGA cards in one legacy 
I/O domain.  You either need to relocate one of them so that they don't have 
overlapping I/O ranges or disable one while you talk to the other.

IOW, legacy space is the whole I/O window of a given bus or PCI domain 
(granularity defined by the platform--some will only have one I/O space), and 
the arbiter's job is to arbitrate access to subsets of each window.  I think 
the the VGA stuff here complements the legacy interface rather than 
conflicting with it.

Please consolidate both while loops into one function. One possible way would
be to do:

static void vga_update_bus(struct pci_bus *bus, unsigned int enable)
{
while (bus) {
bridge = bus->self;
if (bridge) {
pci_read_config_word(bridge, PCI_BRIDGE_CONTROL, );
if (cmd & PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA)
continue;
if (enable)
cmd |= PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA;

cmd &= ~PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA;
pci_write_config_word(bridge, PCI_BRIDGE_CONTROL, cmd);
}
bus = bus->parent;

Re: [PATCH] VGA arbitration: draft of kernel side

2005-03-09 Thread Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Ok, here's today status. I posted the patch at
http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/vga-arbiter.diff. I fixed some issues &
added support for nesting locks, I added comments/documentation to
kernel interface. It's not tested yet. It's not complete neither, the
userland interface is partially implemented (via a /dev char device),
and I may still change things here or there before I'm happy with the
result. Constructive comments appreciated.

What need to be done also is to adapt vgacon.

The problems here are multiple. vgacon itself has all the consw
callbacks that need to be dealt with. A bunch of them can't schedule,
so they would have to use vga_tryget(). What to do if that fails ?
Another problem is that the VT code will directly access the
text/attribute buffer (VGA memory). Playing tricks here promises to
be difficult. Some bits of that code even keep pointers to video
memory as local statics (look at complement_pos(), that stuff is
probably interestingly broken during the vgacon->fbcon transition)

So I suspect here a minimum of rework is needed, in a rather disgusting
area of the code.

I suppose the easiest way for now is to move the vga_trylock() as much
up as possible in the call chain. The stuff in vc_screen() (userland
context, can schedule) would use vga_get(), same with the tty operations
(they acquire the console sem, so they are a big no-no at interrupt
time, but we need to do runtime checks since weird things may happen in
tty land).

The problem is how to have that code "know" that it needs to lock VGA
resources. It will be different between vgacon, fbcon, or whatever other
low level console. Some hacks may be needed here, at least until we have
a "sane" console subsystem if we ever have ... I'll have a deeper look
tomorrow.

Ben.

Ugh ? They are or they are not independant, that's a platform thing and
has nothing to do with arbitration. They aren't VGA specific neither.

The arbitrer uses the vga_conflicts() callback for that purpose. It is
defined to always return 1 by default, but the platform can override it
if it has separate PCI domains, in order to tell the arbitrer wether 2
cards can conflict or not.

Based on that, the arbitrer will, or will not, let you lock the VGA
legacy resources simultaneously.

Ben.

Each one of these legacy spaces corresponds to an allowable
simultaneous VGA use. There should be one arbiter per legacy space.

This is a different thing, and I will implement it on ppc one of these
days. This is for issuing the IO cycles on the bus. It has nothing

Re: [PATCH] VGA arbitration: draft of kernel side

2005-03-08 Thread Jon Smirl
This is from /linux-2.5/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt. It
describes how ia64 is achieving legacy IO.  The VGA control code
probably needs to be coordinated with this.

--

Accessing legacy resources through sysfs

Legacy I/O port and ISA memory resources are also provided in sysfs if the
underlying platform supports them.  They're located in the PCI class heirarchy,
e.g.

/sys/class/pci_bus/:17/
|-- bridge -> ../../../devices/pci:17
|-- cpuaffinity
|-- legacy_io
`-- legacy_mem

The legacy_io file is a read/write file that can be used by applications to
do legacy port I/O.  The application should open the file, seek to the desired
port (e.g. 0x3e8) and do a read or a write of 1, 2 or 4 bytes.  The legacy_mem
file should be mmapped with an offset corresponding to the memory offset
desired, e.g. 0xa for the VGA frame buffer.  The application can then
simply dereference the returned pointer (after checking for errors of course)
to access legacy memory space.

Supporting PCI access on new platforms

In order to support PCI resource mapping as described above, Linux platform
code must define HAVE_PCI_MMAP and provide a pci_mmap_page_range function.
Platforms are free to only support subsets of the mmap functionality, but
useful return codes should be provided.

Legacy resources are protected by the HAVE_PCI_LEGACY define.  Platforms
wishing to support legacy functionality should define it and provide
pci_legacy_read, pci_legacy_write and pci_mmap_legacy_page_range functions.

You don't do it that way. You vga_get(IO|MEM) the card you want to
POST, do the POST, then vga_put().

Subsequent user will get back ownership when it does vga_get(something)
again.

BTW. I have a draft of the userland API. It will be a /dev entry (so
other OSes can implement the same API, also, it's just doing too much
for sysfs, I debated it with a few kernel folks and we decided it should
be that way) :

 *  open: open user instance of the arbitrer. by default, it's
 *attached to the default VGA device of the system.
 *
 *  close   : close user instance, release locks
 *
 *  read: return a string indicating the status of the target.
 *an IO state string is of the form {mem,io,mem+io,none},
 *mc and ic are respectively mem and io lock counts (for
 *debugging/diagnostic only). "decodes" indicate what the
 *card currently decodes, "owns" indicates what is currently
 *enabled on it, and "locks" indicates what is locked by this
 *card.
 *
 *   ":decodes=,owns=,locks= (mc,ic)"
 *
 * write: write a command to the arbiter. List of commands is:
 *
 *   target: switch target to card  (see below)
 *   lock : acquires locks on target ("none" is invalid io_state)
 *   trylock  : non-blocking acquire locks on target
 *   unlock   : release locks on target
 *   decodes  : set the legacy decoding attributes for the card
 * 
 * poll : event if something change on any card (not just the target)


I also added nesting counters (mostly to make things safer, though it could
be useful for scenarios where IRQ stuffs are doing a tryget kind of thing
as described in a previous message).

Please wait.

I don't want that semantic for sysfs. First, I don't want to "move
around" the VGA device. This is very arch specific and will not work in
a variety if circumstances. Also, "outb's" to legacy VGA ports will only
work with some PCI domains on archs like PPC, even vgacon can't deal
with that, so let's avoid putting such "knowledge" in the arbiter
itself. I prefer for now defining a "default" vga device which is the
one used by vgacon. If you want to move vgacon around, do some arch
specific stuff or add way to change the default device, but that isn't
directly related to the arbitration process.

Also, I want the sysfs entry (or /dev if I can't get the proper
semantics in sysfs) to have open & release() callbacks like a char
device. The reason is that I want the vga "locks" owned by a process to
be automatically released if the process dies. Without that, kill -9 on
X will end up requiring a reboot in most circumstances :)

Finally, I want to keep the distinction between memory and IO enables.
That's quite important imho, since a lot of cards can operate with IO
disabled (all ATIs for example), which is good as I'm not completely
sure I can disable legacy IO port decoding on them (well, I don't know
how to do it).

Ben.

Re: [PATCH] VGA arbitration: draft of kernel side

2005-03-08 Thread Jon Smirl
This very similar to the reset support patch I have been working on.

In the reset patch there is a 'vga' attribute on each VGA device. Set
it to 0/1 to make the device active. This lets you move the console
around betweem VGA devices.

You can also set it to 3, which disables all VGA devices but remembers
the active one. Setting it to 4 disables all VGA devices then restores
the active one. To use, set it to 3, post, set it to 4.

GregKH wants this code out of the pci directory but it needs hooks
into pci_destroy_dev() to delete the arbiter. You also need a hook on
add for when a hotplug device appears.

I'll try merging my sysfs support into your code.

Yah, yah, I know :) will fix. I'm not sure there is point signaling the

Hehe, yes, but I don't like it :)

Thanks. I spotted a few other issues (I was quite tired yesterday when I
finished this code). I'll do another pass on it today. One thing is: I
don't have x86 hardware, or at least, nothing where I can have 2 VGA
cards in (I may have access to an old laptop). So I'll need help &
testers at one point.

This seems wrong: if the condition is true the loop will restart with
the same bus device and will never stop. I think you should do:

if (cmd & PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA) {
cmd &= ~PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA;
pci_write_config_word(bridge, 
PCI_BRIDGE_CONTROL, cmd);
}

Re: [PATCH] VGA arbitration: draft of kernel side

2005-03-08 Thread Jon Smirl
This very similar to the reset support patch I have been working on.

In the reset patch there is a 'vga' attribute on each VGA device. Set
it to 0/1 to make the device active. This lets you move the console
around betweem VGA devices.

You can also set it to 3, which disables all VGA devices but remembers
the active one. Setting it to 4 disables all VGA devices then restores
the active one. To use, set it to 3, post, set it to 4.

GregKH wants this code out of the pci directory but it needs hooks
into pci_destroy_dev() to delete the arbiter. You also need a hook on
add for when a hotplug device appears.

I'll try merging my sysfs support into your code.

 I'll try merging my sysfs support into your code.

Please wait.

I don't want that semantic for sysfs. First, I don't want to move
around the VGA device. This is very arch specific and will not work in
a variety if circumstances. Also, outb's to legacy VGA ports will only
work with some PCI domains on archs like PPC, even vgacon can't deal
with that, so let's avoid putting such knowledge in the arbiter
itself. I prefer for now defining a default vga device which is the
one used by vgacon. If you want to move vgacon around, do some arch
specific stuff or add way to change the default device, but that isn't
directly related to the arbitration process.

Also, I want the sysfs entry (or /dev if I can't get the proper
semantics in sysfs) to have open  release() callbacks like a char
device. The reason is that I want the vga locks owned by a process to
be automatically released if the process dies. Without that, kill -9 on
X will end up requiring a reboot in most circumstances :)

Finally, I want to keep the distinction between memory and IO enables.
That's quite important imho, since a lot of cards can operate with IO
disabled (all ATIs for example), which is good as I'm not completely
sure I can disable legacy IO port decoding on them (well, I don't know
how to do it).

You don't do it that way. You vga_get(IO|MEM) the card you want to
POST, do the POST, then vga_put().

Subsequent user will get back ownership when it does vga_get(something)
again.

BTW. I have a draft of the userland API. It will be a /dev entry (so
other OSes can implement the same API, also, it's just doing too much
for sysfs, I debated it with a few kernel folks and we decided it should
be that way) :

 *  open: open user instance of the arbitrer. by default, it's
 *attached to the default VGA device of the system.
 *
 *  close   : close user instance, release locks
 *
 *  read: return a string indicating the status of the target.
 *an IO state string is of the form {mem,io,mem+io,none},
 *mc and ic are respectively mem and io lock counts (for
 *debugging/diagnostic only). decodes indicate what the
 *card currently decodes, owns indicates what is currently
 *enabled on it, and locks indicates what is locked by this
 *card.
 *
 *   card_ID:decodes=io_state,owns=io_state,locks=io_state (mc,ic)

 *   target card_ID   : switch target to card card_ID (see below)
 *   lock io_state: acquires locks on target (none is invalid io_state)
 *   trylock io_state : non-blocking acquire locks on target
 *   unlock io_state  : release locks on target
 *   decodes io_state : set the legacy decoding attributes for the card
 * 
 * poll : event if something change on any card (not just the target)


I also added nesting counters (mostly to make things safer, though it could
be useful for scenarios where IRQ stuffs are doing a tryget kind of thing
as described in a previous message).

Re: [PATCH] VGA arbitration: draft of kernel side

2005-03-08 Thread Jon Smirl
This is from /linux-2.5/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt. It
describes how ia64 is achieving legacy IO.  The VGA control code
probably needs to be coordinated with this.

--

Accessing legacy resources through sysfs

Legacy I/O port and ISA memory resources are also provided in sysfs if the
underlying platform supports them.  They're located in the PCI class heirarchy,
e.g.

/sys/class/pci_bus/:17/
|-- bridge - ../../../devices/pci:17
|-- cpuaffinity
|-- legacy_io
`-- legacy_mem

The legacy_io file is a read/write file that can be used by applications to
do legacy port I/O.  The application should open the file, seek to the desired
port (e.g. 0x3e8) and do a read or a write of 1, 2 or 4 bytes.  The legacy_mem
file should be mmapped with an offset corresponding to the memory offset
desired, e.g. 0xa for the VGA frame buffer.  The application can then
simply dereference the returned pointer (after checking for errors of course)
to access legacy memory space.

Supporting PCI access on new platforms

In order to support PCI resource mapping as described above, Linux platform
code must define HAVE_PCI_MMAP and provide a pci_mmap_page_range function.
Platforms are free to only support subsets of the mmap functionality, but
useful return codes should be provided.

Legacy resources are protected by the HAVE_PCI_LEGACY define.  Platforms
wishing to support legacy functionality should define it and provide
pci_legacy_read, pci_legacy_write and pci_mmap_legacy_page_range functions.

This is a different thing, and I will implement it on ppc one of these
days. This is for issuing the IO cycles on the bus. It has nothing
to do with the actual arbitration work.

Each one of these legacy spaces corresponds to an allowable
simultaneous VGA use. There should be one arbiter per legacy space.

Ugh ? They are or they are not independant, that's a platform thing and
has nothing to do with arbitration. They aren't VGA specific neither.

The arbitrer uses the vga_conflicts() callback for that purpose. It is
defined to always return 1 by default, but the platform can override it
if it has separate PCI domains, in order to tell the arbitrer wether 2
cards can conflict or not.

Based on that, the arbitrer will, or will not, let you lock the VGA
legacy resources simultaneously.

Ben.

[PATCH] VGA arbitration: draft of kernel side

2005-03-07 Thread Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Hi !

Ok, so here is a first, totally untested draft for the kernel side
of the VGA arbiter.

BIG NOTE: It's really only the basic arbiter itself, which provides the
API I drafted a bit earlier, with arch hooks similar to what Alan proposed,
it does _NOT_ yet provides a userland interface (to a library providing the
same API hopefully).

It's totally untested (just tested that it builds on ppc32). Some
refinements from my original ideas is the notion of "default" VGA device
which is for vgacon (which would then be able to pass "NULL" to
vga_get/tryget/put, which is handy since current vgacon has no idea of
what a PCI device is). Possible room for a non-PCI device there, but I
haven't completely decided how to deal with that case (see comments in
the code).

Note about vgacon (or vesafb for what matters): I haven't yet looked at
what is involved in getting those adapted to the arbiter. As far as vgacon
is concerned, I strongly suspect that we'll need a way for a console write
to return -EAGAIN, telling to the printk core to come back later (either on
the next printk or from schedul'able time). That shouldn't be too difficult
tho. vesafb may need additional massaging too.

I don't know how much time I'll have on my hands to more forward with
adapting vgacon and doing a userland interface, I expect to be fairly busy
the rest of the week, so if any of you feel like picking up from there,
just let me know.

Ben.
