[PATCH] fbdev: Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration, part 1 (from TODO list)

From: Claudio
Date: Thu Sep 30 2021 - 11:32:38 EST


Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring
p->scrollmode = SCROLL_REDRAW. Remove the obsolete code in fbcon.c
and fbdev/core/

Signed-off-by: Claudio Suarez <cssk@xxxxxxxx>

- This is a task in the TODO list Documentation/gpu/todo.rst
- The contact in the task is Daniel Vetter. He is/you are in copy.
- To ease the things and saving time, I did a patch. It is included in this
message. I can redo it if there is something wrong.
- I tested it in some configurations.

My plan for new patches in this task:
- A buch of patches to remove code from drivers: fb_copyarea and related.
- Simplify the code around fbcon_ops as much as possible to remove the hooks
as the TODO suggests.
- Remove fb_copyarea in headers and exported symbols: cfb_copyarea, etc. This
must be done when all the drivers are changed.

I think that the correct list to ask questions about this
is linux-fbdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . Is it correct ?
My question: I can develop the new changes. I can test in two computers/two
drivers. Is there a way to test the rest of the patches ? I have not hardware
to test them. Is anyone helping with this? Only regression tests are needed.
I can test other patches in return.

Thank you.
Claudio Suarez.

Patch follows:

Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration
--------------------------------------------

-Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring p->scrollmode =
-SCROLL_REDRAW. There's a ton of code this will allow us to remove:
+Scroll acceleration has been disabled in fbcon. Now it works as the old
+SCROLL_REDRAW mode. A ton of code was removed in fbcon.c and the hook bmove was
+removed from fbcon_ops.
+Remaining tasks:

-- lots of code in fbcon.c
-
-- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops, maybe the remaining hooks could be called
+- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops could be removed or simplified by calling
directly instead of the function table (with a switch on p->rotate)

- fb_copyarea is unused after this, and can be deleted from all drivers

+- after that, fb_copyarea can be deleted from fb_ops in include/linux/fb.h as
+ well as cfb_copyarea
+
Note that not all acceleration code can be deleted, since clearing and cursor
support is still accelerated, which might be good candidates for further
deletion projects.

-/* There are several methods fbcon can use to move text around the screen:
- *
- * Operation Pan Wrap
- *---------------------------------------------
- * SCROLL_MOVE copyarea No No
- * SCROLL_PAN_MOVE copyarea Yes No
- * SCROLL_WRAP_MOVE copyarea No Yes
- * SCROLL_REDRAW imageblit No No
- * SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW imageblit Yes No
- * SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW imageblit No Yes
- *
- * (SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW is not implemented yet)
- *
- * In general, fbcon will choose the best scrolling
- * method based on the rule below:
- *
- * Pan/Wrap > accel imageblit > accel copyarea >
- * soft imageblit > (soft copyarea)
- *
- * Exception to the rule: Pan + accel copyarea is
- * preferred over Pan + accel imageblit.
- *
- * The above is typical for PCI/AGP cards. Unless
- * overridden, fbcon will never use soft copyarea.
- *
- * If you need to override the above rule, set the
- * appropriate flags in fb_info->flags. For example,
- * to prefer copyarea over imageblit, set
- * FBINFO_READS_FAST.
- *
- * Other notes:
- * + use the hardware engine to move the text
- * (hw-accelerated copyarea() and fillrect())
- * + use hardware-supported panning on a large virtual screen
- * + amifb can not only pan, but also wrap the display by N lines
- * (i.e. visible line i = physical line (i+N) % yres).
- * + read what's already rendered on the screen and
- * write it in a different place (this is cfb_copyarea())
- * + re-render the text to the screen
- *
- * Whether to use wrapping or panning can only be figured out at
- * runtime (when we know whether our font height is a multiple
- * of the pan/wrap step)
