Geert Uytterhoeven a286408c70 ps3fb: cleanup sweep
cleanup sweep:
  - Kill ps3fb_priv.xdr_ea and ps3fb_priv.xdr_size, use info->screen_base and
    info->fix.smem_len instead.
  - Kill superfluous assignments to info->fix.smem_start, info->fix.smem_len,
    and info->screen_base in ps3fb_set_par(). Their values never change.
  - Add sparse annotations to casts to kill address space warnings

Reorganize modedb handling:

  - Introduce ps3fb_native_vmode(), to convert from native (PS3AV_MODE_*) mode
    numbers to struct fb_videomode *,
  - Rename and move ps3fb_default_mode() to ps3fb_vmode().

Jeremy Kerr 8dab637612 ps3fb: fix deadlock on kexec()
Since the introduction of the acquire_console_sem calls in
0333d83509, kexecing can cause the
kernel to deadlock:

 ps3fb_shutdown()
  -> unregister_framebuffer()
  -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND)
  -> fbcon_fb_unbind()
  -> unbind_con_driver()
  -> bind_con_driver()
	[ acquires console_sem ]
  -> fbcon_deinit()
  -> fbops->fb_release(newinfo, 0)
  -> ps3fb_release()
  -> ps3fb_sync()
	[ acquires console_sem ]

This change avoids the deadlock by moving the acquire_console_sem()
out of ps3fb_sync(), and puts it into the two other callsites, leaving
ps3fb_release() to call ps3fb_sync() without the console semaphore.

[Geert]
  - Corrected call sequence above
  - ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an
    inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to
    acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release().

    I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and
    not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without
    holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing
    crashes or lockups.

    Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen
    when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during
    shutdown/kexec).

Jeremy Kerr ba21611c9c ps3fb: prevent use after free of fb_info
In ps3fb_shutdown, freeing the framebuffer will cause fb_info (in
dev->core.driver_data) to be free()ed, which we potentially access
from the ps3fbd kthread.

This change frees the framebuffer after stopping the ps3fbd kthread.

ps3fb: Update for firmware 2.10

As of PS3 firmware version 2.10, the GPU command buffer size must be at least 2
MiB large. Since we use only a small part of the GPU command buffer and don't
want to waste precious XDR memory, move the GPU command buffer back to the
start of the XDR memory reserved for ps3fb and let the unused part overlap with
the actual frame buffer.

Geert Uytterhoeven 61e0b28e54 ps3fb: enhance horizontal panning on firmware 1.90 and up
ps3fb: Enhance horizontal panning on firmware 1.90 and up:
  - On firmware 1.90 and up, L1GPU_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE_FB_BLIT supports copying
    rectangles from XDR to DDR memory with different source and destination
    line lengths. Hence larger horizontal virtual resolutions can be supported
    (up to 16368 pixels).
  - As the actual frame buffer memory layout no longer matches the entries in
    ps3fb_res[], create fake struct ps3fb_ioctl_res data for the
    PS3FB_IOCTL_SCREENINFO ioctl, so user space applications that depend on it
    keep on working.

  - The horizontal virtual screen size is limited to the fullscreen width,
  - Advertise that we support panning, so fbcon will use it if the virtual
    screen is enabled.
    Enabling a virtual screen (using `fbset -vyres nnn') can speed up text
    console scrolling by a factor of 10-15, depending on the video mode.

Geert Uytterhoeven 2ce32e15a1 ps3fb: fix possible overlap of GPU command buffer and frame buffer
ps3fb: In the case of non-fullscreen video modes, there was a partial overlap
of the GPU command buffer and the frame buffer. Fix and cleanup various issues
with overlap and alignment:
  - Move the GPU command buffer from the beginning to the end of video memory
  - Exclude the GPU command buffer from the actual frame buffer memory
  - Align the start of the virtual frame buffer to PAGE_SIZE instead of to 64
    KiB, and don't waste memory if it's already aligned (for fullscreen modes)
  - Take into account the alignment when checking memory requirements and
    maximum number of frames
  - Make sure fb_fix_screeninfo.smem_start always points to the virtual frame
    buffer start, so we don't have to compensate for that in ps3fb_mmap()

Rafael J. Wysocki 8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Geert Uytterhoeven 310d8c1112 [PATCH] ps3: Virtual Frame Buffer Driver
Add the PS3 Virtual Frame Buffer Driver.

As the actual graphics hardware cannot be accessed directly by Linux, ps3fb
uses a virtual frame buffer in main memory.  The actual screen image is copied
to graphics memory by the GPU on every vertical blank, by making a hypervisor
