drivers/firmware: skip simpledrm if nvidia-drm.modeset=1 is set

2025-01-23T15:37:24Z

The Nvidia proprietary driver has some bugs that leads to issues if used with the simpledrm driver. The most noticeable is that does not register an emulated fbdev device. It just relies on a fbdev to be registered by another driver, that could be that could be attached to the framebuffer console. On UEFI machines, this is the efifb driver. This means that disabling the efifb driver will cause virtual consoles to not be present in the system when using the Nvidia driver. Legacy BIOS is not affected just because fbcon is not used there, but instead vgacon. Unless a VGA mode is specified using the vga= kernel command line option, in that case the vesafb driver is used instead and its fbdev attached to the fbcon. This is a problem because with CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y, the sysfb platform code attempts to register a "simple-framebuffer" platform device (that is matched against simpledrm) and only registers either an "efi-framebuffer" or "vesa-framebuffer" if this fails to be registered due the video modes not being compatible. The Nvidia driver relying on another driver to register the fbdev is quite fragile, since it can't really assume those will stick around. For example there are patches posted to remove the EFI and VESA platform devices once a real DRM or fbdev driver probes. But in any case, moving to a simpledrm + emulated fbdev only breaks this assumption and causes users to not have VT if the Nvidia driver is used. So to prevent this, let's add a workaround and make the sysfb to skip the "simple-framebuffer" registration when nvidia-drm.modeset=1 option is set. This is quite horrible, but honestly I can't think of any other approach. For this to work, the CONFIG_FB_EFI and CONFIG_FB_VESA config options must be enabled besides CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM.

efi/zboot: Limit compression options to GZIP and ZSTD

2024-12-06T15:59:56Z

For historical reasons, the legacy decompressor code on various architectures supports 7 different compression types for the compressed kernel image. EFI zboot is not a compression library museum, and so the options can be limited to what is likely to be useful in practice: - GZIP is tried and tested, and is still one of the fastest at decompression time, although the compression ratio is not very high; moreover, Fedora is already shipping EFI zboot kernels for arm64 that use GZIP, and QEMU implements direct support for it when booting a kernel without firmware loaded; - ZSTD has a very high compression ratio (although not the highest), and is almost as fast as GZIP at decompression time. Reducing the number of options makes it less of a hassle for other consumers of the EFI zboot format (such as QEMU today, and kexec in the future) to support it transparently without having to carry 7 different decompression libraries.

firmware: microchip: fix UL_IAP lock check in mpfs_auto_update_state()

2024-12-05T15:08:51Z

To verify that Auto Update is possible, the mpfs_auto_update_state() function performs a "Query Security Service Request" to the system controller. Previously, the check was performed on the first element of the response message, which was accessed using a 32-bit pointer. This caused the bitwise operation to reference incorrect data, as the response should be inspected at the byte level. Fixed this by casting the response to a u8 * pointer, ensuring the check correctly inspects the appropriate byte of the response message. Additionally, rename "UL_Auto Update" to "UL_IAP" to match the PolarFire Family System Services User Guide. Signed-off-by: Valentina Fernandez Signed-off-by: Conor Dooley
