fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter

Support the kernel's nomodeset parameter for all PCI-based fbdev
drivers that use aperture helpers to remove other, hardware-agnostic
graphics drivers.

The parameter is a simple way of using the firmware-provided scanout
buffer if the hardware's native driver is broken. The same effect
could be achieved with per-driver options, but the importance of the
graphics output for many users makes a single, unified approach
worthwhile.

With nomodeset specified, the fbdev driver module will not load. This
unifies behavior with similar DRM drivers. In DRM helpers, modules
first check the nomodeset parameter before registering the PCI
driver. As fbdev has no such module helpers, we have to modify each
driver individually.

The name 'nomodeset' is slightly misleading, but has been chosen for
historical reasons. Several drivers implemented it before it became a
general option for DRM. So keeping the existing name was preferred over
introducing a new one.

v2:
* print a warning if a driver does not init (Helge)
* wrap video_firmware_drivers_only() in helper

fbdev: vt8623fb: use generic power management

Drivers should do only device-specific jobs. But in general, drivers using
legacy PCI PM framework for .suspend()/.resume() have to manage many PCI
PM-related tasks themselves which can be done by PCI Core itself. This
brings extra load on the driver and it directly calls PCI helper functions
to handle them.

Switch to the new generic framework by updating function signatures and
define a "struct dev_pm_ops" variable to bind PM callbacks. Also, remove
unnecessary calls to the PCI Helper functions along with the legacy
.suspend & .resume bindings.

The vt8623_pci_suspend() is not designed to function in the case of Freeze.
Thus, the code checked for "if (state.event == PM_EVENT_FREEZE....)". This
is because, in the legacy framework, this callback was invoked even in the
event of Freeze. Hence, added the load of unnecessary function-call.

The goal can be achieved by binding the callback with only ".suspend" and
".poweroff" in the "vt8623_pci_pm_ops" const variable. This also avoids the
step of checking "state.event == PM_EVENT_FREEZE" every time the callback
is invoked.

drivers/video/fbdev/vt8623fb: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and pci_iomap_wc()

This driver uses the same area for MTRR as for the ioremap().

Convert the driver from using the x86-specific MTRR code to the
architecture-agnostic arch_phys_wc_add(). It will avoid MTRRs if
write-combining is available. In order to take advantage of that
also ensure the ioremapped area is requested as write-combining.

There are a few motivations for this:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available.

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture-specific and on
x86 it is being replaced by PAT.

c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
pci_mmap_page_range()").

The conversion done is expressed by the following Coccinelle
SmPL patch, it additionally required manual intervention to
address all the ifdeffery and removal of redundant things which
arch_phys_wc_add() already addresses such as verbose message
about when MTRR fails and doing nothing when we didn't get an

module: add per-module param_lock

Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).

The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.

This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.

This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

fbdev: vt8623fb: use generic power management

Drivers should do only device-specific jobs. But in general, drivers using
legacy PCI PM framework for .suspend()/.resume() have to manage many PCI
PM-related tasks themselves which can be done by PCI Core itself. This
brings extra load on the driver and it directly calls PCI helper functions
to handle them.

Switch to the new generic framework by updating function signatures and
define a "struct dev_pm_ops" variable to bind PM callbacks. Also, remove
unnecessary calls to the PCI Helper functions along with the legacy
.suspend & .resume bindings.

The vt8623_pci_suspend() is not designed to function in the case of Freeze.
Thus, the code checked for "if (state.event == PM_EVENT_FREEZE....)". This
is because, in the legacy framework, this callback was invoked even in the
event of Freeze. Hence, added the load of unnecessary function-call.

The goal can be achieved by binding the callback with only ".suspend" and
".poweroff" in the "vt8623_pci_pm_ops" const variable. This also avoids the
step of checking "state.event == PM_EVENT_FREEZE" every time the callback
is invoked.

video: fbdev: don't print error message on framebuffer_alloc() failure

framebuffer_alloc() can fail only on kzalloc() memory allocation
failure and since kzalloc() will print error message in such case
we can omit printing extra error message in drivers (which BTW is
what the majority of framebuffer_alloc() users is doing already).

vt8623_timing_regs is only passed as the first argument to

both of which are const. So make vt8623_timing_regs const also.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.

drivers/video/fbdev/vt8623fb: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and pci_iomap_wc()

This driver uses the same area for MTRR as for the ioremap().

Convert the driver from using the x86-specific MTRR code to the
architecture-agnostic arch_phys_wc_add(). It will avoid MTRRs if
write-combining is available. In order to take advantage of that
also ensure the ioremapped area is requested as write-combining.

There are a few motivations for this:

a) Take advantage of PAT when available.

b) Help bury MTRR code away, MTRR is architecture-specific and on
x86 it is being replaced by PAT.

c) Help with the goal of eventually using _PAGE_CACHE_UC over
_PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS on x86 on ioremap_nocache() (see commit
de33c442e titled "x86 PAT: fix performance drop for glx,
use UC minus for ioremap(), ioremap_nocache() and
pci_mmap_page_range()").

The conversion done is expressed by the following Coccinelle
SmPL patch, it additionally required manual intervention to
address all the ifdeffery and removal of redundant things which
arch_phys_wc_add() already addresses such as verbose message
about when MTRR fails and doing nothing when we didn't get an
MTRR.

module: add per-module param_lock

Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).

The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.

This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.

This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.

video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev

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.
