[PATCH v5 0/2] PCI/VGA: Make the vga_is_firmware_default() less arch-dependent

From: Sui Jingfeng
Date: Thu Aug 24 2023 - 11:04:15 EST


Currently, the vga_is_firmware_default() function only works on x86 and
ia64, it is a no-op on the rest of the architectures. This patch completes
the implementation for it, the added code tries to capture the PCI (e) VGA
device that owns the firmware framebuffer address range before the PCI
resource relocation. Since only one GPU could owns the firmware fb in
normal case, things are almost done once we have determined the boot VGA
successfully.

Note that this patch requires the target platform has a way to set up the
kernel's screen_info. On muiltiple GPU co-exist machines, the firmware
framebuffer should be put into the VRAM BAR of the primary GPU. While
changing PCI class code of the GPU to be non-primary is not required for
the arbitration purpose.

The provided method is effective at least on x86, arm64 and loongarch, see
below for more testing information.

Loongson UEFI firmware does not support specify which GPU to be the primary,
the firmware set the ATI GPU(03:00.0) as the primary GPU with this hardware
configuration by hardcode. However, the firmware do support passing the
screen_into the to kernel. The problem is that VGAARB can not override the
platform integrated one(00:06.1) before apply this series.

Please note that BAR 0 of the ATI GPU moved by PCI core from
[0xe0050000000-0xe005fffffff] to [0xe0030000000-0xe003fffffff], the
vga_is_firmware_default() function will return wrong results by simply
remove #ifdefs while without take relocation into account.
