* ACPI / video: Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight functionHans de Goede2014-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an acpi_video_unregister_backlight function, which only unregisters the backlight device, and leaves the acpi_notifier in place. Some acpi_vendor driver need this as they don't want the acpi_video# backlight device, but do need the acpi-video driver for hotkey handling. Chances are that this new acpi_video_unregister_backlight() is actually what existing acpi_vendor drivers have wanted all along. Currently acpi_vendor drivers which want to disable the acpi_video# backlight device, make 2 calls: acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); acpi_video_unregister(); The intention here is to make things independent of when acpi_video_register() gets called. As acpi_video_register() will get called on acpi-video load time on non intel gfx machines, while it gets called on i915 load time on intel gfx machines. This leads to the following 2 interesting scenarios: a) intel gfx: 1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency of acpi_vendor and i915) 2) acpi-video does NOT call acpi_video_register() 3) acpi_vendor loads (lets assume it loads before i915), calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor(); which sets ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR 4) calls acpi_video_unregister -> not registered, nop 5) i915 loads, calls acpi_video_register 6) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys, does NOT register a backlight device because of ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT_DMI_VENDOR b) non intel gfx 1) acpi-video module gets loaded (as it is a dependency acpi_vendor) 2) acpi-video calls acpi_video_register() 3) acpi_video_register registers the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys, and a backlight device 4) acpi_vendor loads, calls acpi_video_dmi_promote_vendor() 5) calls acpi_video_unregister, this unregisters BOTH the acpi_notifier for the hotkeys AND the backlight device So here we have possibly the same acpi_vendor module, making the same calls, but with different results, in one cases acpi-video does handle hotkeys, in the other it does not. Note that the a) scenario turns into b) if we assume the i915 module loads before the vendor_acpi module, so we also have different behavior depending on module loading order! So as said I believe that quite a few existing acpi_vendor modules really always want the behavior of a), hence this patch adds a new acpi_video_unregister_backlight() which gives the behavior of a) independent of module loading order.

* Revert "ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8"Rafael J. Wysocki2013-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We attempted to address a regression introduced by commit a57f7f9 (ACPICA: Add Windows8/Server2012 string for _OSI method.) after which ACPI video backlight support doesn't work on a number of systems, because the relevant AML methods in the ACPI tables in their BIOSes become useless after the BIOS has been told that the OS is compatible with Windows 8. That problem is tracked by the bug entry at: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231 Commit 8c5bd7a (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915. Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as expected. For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7a, but leave the function acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another commit on top of it uses that function.

* ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8Rafael J. Wysocki2013-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the ACPI backlight interface on these systems". There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations: (1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver is used). (2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system, but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from doing so by the ACPI subsystem. Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already present). For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied. If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI video driver without the backlight interface otherwise. Make the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load(). This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

* i915: Fix opregion notificationsMatthew Garrett2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | opregion-based platforms will send ACPI video event 0x80 for a range of notification types for legacy compatibility. This is interpreted as a display switch event, which may not be appropriate in the circumstances. When we receive such an event we should make sure that the platform is genuinely requesting a display switch before passing that event through to userspace.

* ACPI: Export EDID blocks to the kernelMatthew Garrett2010-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | The ACPI spec includes a provision for hardware to provide EDID via the ACPI video extension. In the KMS world it's necessary for a way to obtain this from within the kernel. Add a function that either returns the EDID for the provided ACPI display ID or the first display of the provided type. Also add support for ensuring that devices with legacy IDs are supported.

* ACPI: Add the reference count to avoid unloading ACPI video bus twiceZhao Yakui2009-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes both acpi video and i915 driver are compiled as modules. And there exists the strict dependency between the two drivers. The acpi video bus will be unloaded in course of unloading the i915 driver. If we unload the acpi video driver, then the kernel oops will be triggered. Add the reference count to avoid unloading the ACPI video bus twice. The reference count should be checked before unregistering the acpi video bus. If the reference count is already zero, it won't unregister it again. And after the acpi video bus is already unregistered, the reference count will be set to zero. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13396 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

* ACPI: Populate DIDL before registering ACPI video device on IntelMatthew Garrett2009-03-27
