2007-09-20[x86 setup] Present the canonical video mode number to the kernelH. Peter Anvin
Canonicalize the video mode number as presented to the kernel. The video mode number may be user-entered (e.g. ASK_VGA), an alias (e.g. NORMAL_VGA), or a size specification, and that confuses the suspend wakeup code. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-08-14[x86 setup] The current display page is returned in %bh, not %blH. Peter Anvin
The current display page is an 8-bit number, even though struct screen_info gives it a 16-bit number. The number is returned in %bh, so it needs to be >> 8 before storing. Special thanks to Jeff Chua for detailed bug reporting. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-07-18[x86 setup] VGA: Clear the Protect bit before setting the vertical heightH. Peter Anvin
If the user has asked for the vertical height registers to be recomputed by setting bit 15 in the video mode number, we do so without clearing the Protect bit in the Vertical Retrace Register before setting the Overflow register. As a result, if the VGA BIOS had set the Protect bit, the write to the Overflow register will be dropped, and bits [9:8] of the vertical height will be left unchanged. This is a bug imported from the assembly version of this code. It was pointed out by Etienne Lorrain. Cc: Etienne Lorrain <etienne_lorrain@yahoo.fr> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-07-18[x86 setup] Fix assembly constraintsH. Peter Anvin
Fix incorrect assembly constraints. In particular, fix memory constraints used inside push..pop, which can cause invalid operation since gcc may generate %esp-relative references. Additionally: outl() should have "dN" not "dn". query_mca() shouldn't listen 16/32-bit registers in an 8-bit only context. has_eflag(): the "mask" is only used well after both the stack pointer and the output registers have been touched; this requires the output registers to be earlyclobbers (=&) and the input to exclude memory (so "ri", not "g"). Thanks to Etienne Lorrain and Chuck Ebbert for prompting this review. Cc: Etienne Lorrain <etienne_lorrain@yahoo.fr> Cc: Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2007-07-12Video mode probing support for the new x86 setup codeH. Peter Anvin
Video mode probing for the new x86 setup code. This code breaks down different drivers into modules. This code deliberately drops support for a lot of the vendor-specific mode probing present in the assembly version, since a lot of those probes have been found to be stale in current versions of those chips -- frequently, support for those modes have been dropped from recent video BIOSes due to space constraints, but the video BIOS signatures are still the same. However, additional drivers should be extremely straightforward to plug in, if desirable. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
