Currently, the udlfb driver only tests for identical bytes at the
beginning or at the end of a page and renders anything between the first
and last mismatching pixel. But pages are not the same as lines, so this
is quite suboptimal - if there is something modified at the beginning of a
page and at the end of a page, the whole page is rendered, even if most of
the page is not modified.
This patch makes it test for identical pixels at the beginning and end of
each rendering command. This patch improves identical byte detection by
41% when playing video in a window.
This patch also fixes a possible screen corruption if the user is writing
to the framebuffer while dlfb_render_hline is in progress - the pixel data
that is copied to the backbuffer with memcpy may be different from the
pixel data that is actually rendered to the hardware (because the content
of the framebuffer may change between memcpy and the rendering command).
We must make sure that we copy exactly the same pixel as the pixel that is
being rendered.

This patch changes udlfb so that it may reallocate the framebuffer when
setting higher-resolution mode. If we boot the system without monitor
attached, udlfb creates a framebuffer with the size 800x600. This patch
makes it possible to select higher videomode with the fbset command when
a monitor is attached.
Note that there is no reliable way to prevent the system from touching the
old framebuffer, so we must not free it. We add it to the list
dlfb->deferred_free and free it when the driver is unloaded.

The default delay 5 jiffies is too much when the kernel is compiled with
HZ=100 - it results in jumpy cursor in Xwindow.
In order to find out the optimal delay, I benchmarked the driver on
1280x720x30fps video. I found out that with HZ=1000, 10ms is acceptable,
but with HZ=250 or HZ=300, we need 4ms, so that the video is played
without any frame skips.
This patch changes the delay to this value.

The udlfb driver reprograms the hardware everytime the user switches the
console, that makes quite unusable when working on the console.
This patch makes the driver remember the videomode we are in and avoid
reprogramming the hardware if we switch to the same videomode.
We mask the "activate" field and the "FB_VMODE_SMOOTH_XPAN" flag when
comparing the videomode, because they cause spurious switches when
switching to and from the Xserver.

The displaylink hardware has such a peculiarity that it doesn't render a
command until next command is received. This produces occasional
corruption, such as when setting 22x11 font on the console, only the first
line of the cursor will be blinking if the cursor is located at some
specific columns.
When we end up with a repeating pixel, the driver has a bug that it leaves
one uninitialized byte after the command (and this byte is enough to flush
the command and render it - thus it fixes the screen corruption), however
whe we end up with a non-repeating pixel, there is no byte appended and
this results in temporary screen corruption.
This patch fixes the screen corruption by always appending a byte 0xAF at
the end of URB. It also removes the uninitialized byte.

I observed that the performance of the udl fb driver degrades over time.
On a freshly booted machine, it takes 6 seconds to do "ls -la /usr/bin";
after some time of use, the same operation takes 14 seconds.
The reason is that the value of "limit_sem" decays over time.
The udl driver uses a semaphore "limit_set" to specify how many free urbs
are there on dlfb->urbs.list. If the count is zero, the "down" operation
will sleep until some urbs are added to the freelist.
In order to avoid some hypothetical deadlock, the driver will not call
"up" immediately, but it will offload it to a workqueue. The problem is
that if we call "schedule_delayed_work" on the same work item multiple
times, the work item may only be executed once.
This is happening:
* some urb completes
* dlfb_urb_completion adds it to the free list
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work to schedule the function
dlfb_release_urb_work to increase the semaphore count
* as the urb is on the free list, some other task grabs it and submits it
* the submitted urb completes, dlfb_urb_completion is called again
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work, but the work is already
scheduled, so it does nothing
* finally, dlfb_release_urb_work is called, it increases the semaphore
count by 1, although it should increase it by 2
So, the semaphore count is decreasing over time, and this causes gradual
performance degradation.
Note that in the current kernel, the "up" function may be called from
interrupt and it may race with the "down" function called by another
thread, so we don't have to offload the call of "up" to a workqueue at
all. This patch removes the workqueue code. The patch also changes
"down_interruptible" to "down" in dlfb_free_urb_list, so that we will
clean up the driver properly even if a signal arrives.
With this patch, the performance of udlfb no longer degrades.

I have a USB display adapter using the udlfb driver and I use it on an ARM
board that doesn't have any graphics card. When I plug the adapter in, the
console is properly displayed, however when I unplug and re-plug the
adapter, the console is not displayed and I can't access it until I reboot
the board.
The reason is this:
When the adapter is unplugged, dlfb_usb_disconnect calls
unlink_framebuffer, then it waits until the reference count drops to zero
and then it deallocates the framebuffer. However, the console that is
attached to the framebuffer device keeps the reference count non-zero, so
the framebuffer device is never destroyed. When the USB adapter is plugged
again, it creates a new device /dev/fb1 and the console is not attached to
it.
This patch fixes the bug by unbinding the console from unlink_framebuffer.
The code to unbind the console is moved from do_unregister_framebuffer to
a function unbind_console. When the console is unbound, the reference
count drops to zero and the udlfb driver frees the framebuffer. When the
adapter is plugged back, a new framebuffer is created and the console is
attached to it.

It's been a pretty good while since kernel modesetting was introduced.
It has almost entirely replaced previous solutions which required
userspace modesetting, and I can't even recall any drivers off the top
of my head for modern day hardware that don't only support one or the
other. Even nvidia's ugly blob does not require the use of nomodeset,
and only requires that nouveau be blacklisted.
Effectively, the only thing nomodeset does in the year 2018 is disable
your graphics drivers. Since VESA is a thing, this will give many users
the false impression that they've actually fixed an issue they were
having with their machine simply because the laptop will boot up to a
degraded GUI. This of course, is never actually the case.
Things get even worse when you consider that there's still an enormous
amount of tutorials users find on the internet that still suggest adding
nomodeset, along with various users who have been around long enough to
still suggest it.
There really isn't any legitimate reason I can see for this to be an
option that's used by anyone else other then developers, or properly
informed users. So, let's end the confusion and start printing warnings
whenever it's enabled.

},
In ps3fb_probe, the mode_option module parameter is used with fb_find_mode
but it can only select the interlaced variant of 1920x1080 since the loop
matching the modes does not take the difference between interlaced and
progressive modes into account.
In short, without the patch, progressive 1920x1080 cannot be chosen as a
mode_option parameter since fb_find_mode (falsely) thinks interlace is a

Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over
the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered.
This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is
desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer
(typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is.
The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not
enable fbcon.
This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option,
which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy
console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the
"quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used
together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as
soon as e.g. an error message is logged.
Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver,
rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after
2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon
code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only
feasible option.
