Commit ac24c220 ("drm/tegra: Use generic HDMI infoframe helpers") added "select DRM_HDMI" to the DRM_TEGRA Kconfig entry. But there is no Kconfig symbol named DRM_HDMI. The select statement for that symbol is a nop. Drop it. What was needed to use HDMI functionality was to select HDMI (which this entry already did through depending on DRM) and to include linux/hdmi.h (which this commit also did).

Renesas boards were consistently defaulting to the 1024x768 resolution, regardless of the native resolution of the monitor plugged in. It was determined that the EDID of the monitor was not being read. Since the DAC is a shared line, in order to read from or write to it we must take control of the DAC clock. This can be done by setting the proper register to one. This bug fix sets the register MGA1064_GEN_IO_CTL2 to one. The DAC control line can be used to determine whether or not a new monitor has been plugged in. But since the hotplug feature is not one we will support, it has been decided to simply leave the register set to one.

A monitor or a user could request a resolution greater than the available VRAM for the backing framebuffer. This change checks the required framebuffer size against the max VRAM size and rejects modes if they are too big. This change can also remove a mode request passed in via the video= parameter.

kernel_map_sync_memtype() is called from a variety of contexts. The pat.c code that calls it seems to ensure that it is not called for non-ram areas by checking via pat_pagerange_is_ram(). It is important that it only be called on the actual identity map because there *IS* no map to sync for highmem pages, or for memory holes. The ioremap.c uses are not as careful as those from pat.c, and call kernel_map_sync_memtype() on PCI space which is in the middle of the kernel identity map _range_, but is not actually mapped. This patch adds a check to kernel_map_sync_memtype() which probably duplicates some of the checks already in pat.c. But, it is necessary for the ioremap.c uses and shouldn't hurt other callers.

The MIP_ADDRESS state has 2 meanings. If the texture has one sample per pixel, it's a pointer to the mipmap chain. If the texture has multiple samples per pixel, it's a pointer to FMASK, a metadata buffer needed for reading compressed MSAA textures. The mipmap alignment rules do not apply to FMASK.

Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions. The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations. For instance in the following function: void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter) { memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter)); waiter->magic = waiter; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list); } compiled as: 800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>: 800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr} 800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1 800554d8: e3a02010 mov r2, #16 ; 0x10 800554dc: e3a01011 mov r1, #17 ; 0x11 800554e0: eb04426e bl 80165ea0 <memset> 800554e4: e1a03000 mov r3, r0 800554e8: e583000c str r0, [r3, #12] 800554ec: e5830000 str r0, [r3] 800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4] 800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc} GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing register/memory corruptions. This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset. It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into existing load/store instructions. For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps: Step 1 ====== Perform the following substitutions: ip -> r8, then r0 -> ip, and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function. At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result, but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip). Step 2 ====== Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1: save r8: - str lr, [sp, #-4]! + stmfd sp!, {r8, lr} and restore r8 on both exit paths: - ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go. + ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go. (...) tst r2, #16 stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr} - ldr lr, [sp], #4 + ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr} Step 3 ====== Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0: save r8: - stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr} + stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr} and restore r8 on both exit paths: bgt 3b - ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc} + ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc} (...) tst r2, #16 stmneia ip!, {r4-r7} - ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr} + ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr} Step 4 ====== Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

When boot_params->sentinel is set, all we really know is that some undefined set of fields in struct boot_params contain garbage. In the particular case of efi_info, however, there is a private magic for that substructure, so it is generally safe to leave it even if the bootloader is broken. kexec (for which we did the initial analysis) did not initialize this field, but of course all the EFI bootloaders do, and most EFI bootloaders are broken in this respect (and should be fixed.)

Henrik reported that his MacAir 3.1 would not boot with | commit 8d57470d | Date: Fri Nov 16 19:38:58 2012 -0800 | | x86, mm: setup page table in top-down It turns out that we do not calculate the real_end properly: We try to get 2M size with 4K alignment, and later will round down to 2M, so we will get less then 2M for first mapping, in extreme case could be only 4K only. In Henrik's system it has (1M-32K) as last usable rage is [mem 0x7f9db000-0x7fef8fff]. The problem is exposed when EFI booting have several holes and it will force mapping to use PTE instead as we only map usable areas. To fix it, just make it be 2M aligned, so we can be guaranteed to be able to use large pages to map it.
