This patch allows the user to disable write combined mapping
of the efifb framebuffer console using an nowc option.
A customer noticed major slowdowns while logging to the console
with write combining enabled, on other tasks running on the same
CPU. (10x or greater slow down on all other cores on the same CPU
as is doing the logging).
I reproduced this on a machine with dual CPUs.
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v3 @ 1.90GHz (6 core)
I wrote a test that just mmaps the pci bar and writes to it in
a loop, while this was running in the background one a single
core with (taskset -c 1), building a kernel up to init/version.o
(taskset -c 8) went from 13s to 133s or so. I've yet to explain
why this occurs or what is going wrong I haven't managed to find
a perf command that in any way gives insight into this.
11,885,070,715 instructions # 1.39 insns per cycle
vs
12,082,592,342 instructions # 0.13 insns per cycle
is the only thing I've spotted of interest, I've tried at least:
dTLB-stores,dTLB-store-misses,L1-dcache-stores,LLC-store,LLC-store-misses,LLC-load-misses,LLC-loads,\mem-loads,mem-stores,iTLB-loads,iTLB-load-misses,cache-references,cache-misses
For now it seems at least a good idea to allow a user to disable write
combining if they see this until we can figure it out.
Note also most users get a real framebuffer driver loaded when kms
kicks in, it just happens on these machines the kernel didn't support
the gpu specific driver.

PCI_STD_RESOURCE_END is (confusingly) the index of the last valid BAR, not
the *number* of BARs. To iterate through all possible BARs, we need to
include PCI_STD_RESOURCE_END.

On UEFI systems, the PCI subsystem is enumerated by the firmware,
and if a graphical framebuffer is exposed via a PCI device, its base
address and size are exposed to the OS via the Graphics Output
Protocol (GOP).
On arm64 PCI systems, the entire PCI hierarchy is reconfigured from
scratch at boot. This may result in the GOP framebuffer address to
become stale, if the BAR covering the framebuffer is modified. This
will cause the framebuffer to become unresponsive, and may in some
cases result in unpredictable behavior if the range is reassigned to
another device.
So add a non-x86 quirk to the EFI fb driver to find the BAR associated
with the GOP base address, and claim the BAR resource so that the PCI
core will not move it.

When using efifb with a 16-bit (5:6:5) visual, fbcon's text is rendered
in the wrong colors - e.g. text gray (#aaaaaa) is rendered as green
(#50bc50) and neighboring pixels have slightly different values
(such as #50bc78).
The reason is that fbcon loads its 16 color palette through
efifb_setcolreg(), which in turn calculates a 32-bit value to write
into memory for each palette index.
Until now, this code could only handle 8-bit visuals and didn't mask
overlapping values when ORing them.
With this patch, fbcon displays the correct colors when a qemu VM is
booted in 16-bit mode (in GRUB: "set gfxpayload=800x600x16").

The EFI Graphics Output Protocol uses 64-bit frame buffer addresses
but these get truncated to 32-bit by the EFI boot stub when storing
the address in the 'lfb_base' field of 'struct screen_info'.
Add a 'ext_lfb_base' field for the upper 32-bits of the frame buffer
address and set VIDEO_TYPE_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE when the field is
useable.
It turns out that the reason no one has required this support so far
is that there's actually code in tianocore to "downgrade" PCI
resources that have option ROMs and 64-bit BARS from 64-bit to 32-bit
to cope with legacy option ROMs that can't handle 64-bit addresses.
The upshot is that basically all GOP devices in the wild use a 32-bit
frame buffer address.
Still, it is possible to build firmware that uses a full 64-bit GOP
frame buffer address. Chad did, which led to him reporting this issue.
Add support in anticipation of GOP devices using 64-bit addresses more
widely, and so that efifb works out of the box when that happens.

Commit b4aa016305 ("efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)") added
efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or
setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the
corresponding PCI device.
Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such
as MacBookAir2,1. Xorg detects the GPU and finds the DRI device but then
bails out with "no devices detected".
Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute
reflects its state. When unset this attribute is 1 whenever
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.
With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete
while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb
optional.
Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize
vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot
screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.
Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.
No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
