fbdev: move udlfb out of staging.
udlfb has undergone a fair bit of cleanup recently and is effectively at
the point where it can be liberated from staging purgatory and promoted
to a real driver.
The outstanding cleanups are all minor, with some of them dependent on
drivers/video headers, so these will be done incrementally from udlfb's
new home.

That hardware framebuffer is able to drive the VGA, DVI, or HDMI -monitor with no CPU involvement until a pixel has to change. - -The CPU or other local resource does all the rendering; optinally compares the -result with a local shadow of the remote hardware framebuffer to identify -the minimal set of pixels that have changed; and compresses and sends those -pixels line-by-line via USB bulk transfers. - -Because of the efficiency of bulk transfers and a protocol on top that -does not require any acks - the effect is very low latency that -can support surprisingly high resolutions with good performance for -non-gaming and non-video applications. - -Mode setting, EDID read, etc are other bulk or control transfers. Mode -setting is very flexible - able to set nearly arbitrary modes from any timing. - -Advantages of USB graphics in general: - - * Ability to add a nearly arbitrary number of displays to any USB 2.0 - capable system. On Linux, number of displays is limited by fbdev interface - (FB_MAX is currently 32). Of course, all USB devices on the same - host controller share the same 480Mbs USB 2.0 interface. - -Advantages of supporting DisplayLink chips with kernel framebuffer interface: - - * The actual hardware functionality of DisplayLink chips matches nearly - one-to-one with the fbdev interface, making the driver quite small and - tight relative to the functionality it provides. - * X servers and other applications can use the standard fbdev interface - from user mode to talk to the device, without needing to know anything - about USB or DisplayLink's protocol at all. A "displaylink" X driver - and a slightly modified "fbdev" X driver are among those that already do. - -Disadvantages: - - * Fbdev's mmap interface assumes a real hardware framebuffer is mapped. - In the case of USB graphics, it is just an allocated (virtual) buffer. - Writes need to be detected and encoded into USB bulk transfers by the CPU. - Accurate damage/changed area notifications work around this problem. - In the future, hopefully fbdev will be enhanced with an small standard - interface to allow mmap clients to report damage, for the benefit - of virtual or remote framebuffers. - * Fbdev does not arbitrate client ownership of the framebuffer well. - * Fbcon assumes the first framebuffer it finds should be consumed for console. - * It's not clear what the future of fbdev is, given the rise of KMS/DRM. - -How to use it? -============== - -Udlfb, when loaded as a module, will match against all USB 2.0 generation -DisplayLink chips (Alex and Ollie family). It will then attempt to read the EDID -of the monitor, and set the best common mode between the DisplayLink device -and the monitor's capabilities. - -If the DisplayLink device is successful, it will paint a "green screen" which -means that from a hardware and fbdev software perspective, everything is good. - -At that point, a /dev/fb? interface will be present for user-mode applications -to open and begin writing to the framebuffer of the DisplayLink device using -standard fbdev calls. Note that if mmap() is used, by default the user mode -application must send down damage notifcations to trigger repaints of the -changed regions. Alternatively, udlfb can be recompiled with experimental -defio support enabled, to support a page-fault based detection mechanism -that can work without explicit notifcation. - -The most common client of udlfb is xf86-video-displaylink or a modified -xf86-video-fbdev X server. These servers have no real DisplayLink specific -code. They write to the standard framebuffer interface and rely on udlfb -to do its thing. The one extra feature they have is the ability to report -rectangles from the X DAMAGE protocol extension down to udlfb via udlfb's -damage interface (which will hopefully be standardized for all virtual -framebuffers that need damage info). These damage notifications allow -udlfb to efficiently process the changed pixels. - -Module Options -============== - -Special configuration for udlfb is usually unnecessary. There are a few -options, however. - -From the command line, pass options to modprobe -modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1 - -Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text -options udlfb defio=1 console=1 - -Accepted options: - -fb_defio Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel - module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults. - Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not - report damage, may be able to work with this enabled. - Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues. - -console Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This - is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume - the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the - user wants in the case of USB displays. - -Sysfs Attributes -================ - -Udlfb creates several files in /sys/class/graphics/fb? -Where ? is the sequential framebuffer id of the particular DisplayLink device - -edid If a valid EDID blob is written to this file (typically - by a udev rule), then udlfb will use this EDID as a - backup in case reading the actual EDID of the monitor - attached to the DisplayLink device fails. This is - especially useful for fixed panels, etc. that cannot - communicate their capabilities via EDID. Reading - this file returns the current EDID of the attached - monitor (or last backup value written). This is - useful to get the EDID of the attached monitor, - which can be passed to utilities like parse-edid. - -metrics_bytes_rendered 32-bit count of pixel bytes rendered - -metrics_bytes_identical 32-bit count of how many of those bytes were found to be - unchanged, based on a shadow framebuffer check - -metrics_bytes_sent 32-bit count of how many bytes were transferred over - USB to communicate the resulting changed pixels to the - hardware. Includes compression and protocol overhead - -metrics_cpu_kcycles_used 32-bit count of CPU cycles used in processing the - above pixels (in thousands of cycles). - -metrics_reset Write-only. Any write to this file resets all metrics - above to zero. Note that the 32-bit counters above - roll over very quickly. To get reliable results, design - performance tests to start and finish in a very short - period of time (one minute or less is safe). - --- -Bernie Thompson <bernie@plugable.com> diff --git a/drivers/video/Kconfig b/drivers/video/Kconfig index 27c1fb4..37771d0 100644 --- a/drivers/video/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/video/Kconfig @@ -2034,6 +2034,20 @@ config FB_SM501 If unsure, say N. +config FB_UDL + tristate "Displaylink USB Framebuffer support" + depends on FB && USB + select FB_MODE_HELPERS + select FB_SYS_FILLRECT + select FB_SYS_COPYAREA + select FB_SYS_IMAGEBLIT + select FB_SYS_FOPS + select FB_DEFERRED_IO + ---help--- + This is a kernel framebuffer driver for DisplayLink USB devices. + Supports fbdev clients like xf86-video-fbdev, kdrive, fbi, and + mplayer -vo fbdev.
