This reverts commit 39aead8373.
Revert the first (of 2) commits which disabled scrolling acceleration in
fbcon/fbdev. It introduced a regression for fbdev-supported graphic cards
because of the performance penalty by doing screen scrolling by software
instead of using the existing graphic card 2D hardware acceleration.
Console scrolling acceleration was disabled by dropping code which
checked at runtime the driver hardware capabilities for the
BINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA or FBINFO_HWACCEL_FILLRECT flags and if set, it
enabled scrollmode SCROLL_MOVE which uses hardware acceleration to move
screen contents. After dropping those checks scrollmode was hard-wired
to SCROLL_REDRAW instead, which forces all graphic cards to redraw every
character at the new screen position when scrolling.
This change effectively disabled all hardware-based scrolling acceleration for
ALL drivers, because now all kind of 2D hardware acceleration (bitblt,
fillrect) in the drivers isn't used any longer.
The original commit message mentions that only 3 DRM drivers (nouveau, omapdrm
and gma500) used hardware acceleration in the past and thus code for checking
and using scrolling acceleration is obsolete.
This statement is NOT TRUE, because beside the DRM drivers there are around 35
other fbdev drivers which depend on fbdev/fbcon and still provide hardware
acceleration for fbdev/fbcon.
The original commit message also states that syzbot found lots of bugs in fbcon
and thus it's "often the solution to just delete code and remove features".
This is true, and the bugs - which actually affected all users of fbcon,
including DRM - were fixed, or code was dropped like e.g. the support for
software scrollback in vgacon (commit 973c096f6a).
So to further analyze which bugs were found by syzbot, I've looked through all
patches in drivers/video which were tagged with syzbot or syzkaller back to
year 2005. The vast majority fixed the reported issues on a higher level, e.g.
when screen is to be resized, or when font size is to be changed. The few ones
which touched driver code fixed a real driver bug, e.g. by adding a check.
But NONE of those patches touched code of either the SCROLL_MOVE or the
SCROLL_REDRAW case.
That means, there was no real reason why SCROLL_MOVE had to be ripped-out and
just SCROLL_REDRAW had to be used instead. The only reason I can imagine so far
was that SCROLL_MOVE wasn't used by DRM and as such it was assumed that it
could go away. That argument completely missed the fact that SCROLL_MOVE is
still heavily used by fbdev (non-DRM) drivers.
Some people mention that using memcpy() instead of the hardware acceleration is
pretty much the same speed. But that's not true, at least not for older graphic
cards and machines where we see speed decreases by factor 10 and more and thus
this change leads to console responsiveness way worse than before.
That's why the original commit is to be reverted. By reverting we
reintroduce hardware-based scrolling acceleration and fix the
performance regression for fbdev drivers.
There isn't any impact on DRM when reverting those patches.

On some new laptops the LCD panel has a builtin electronic privacy-screen.
We want to export this functionality as a property on the drm connector
object. But often this functionality is not exposed on the GPU but on some
other (ACPI) device.
This commit adds a privacy-screen class allowing the driver for these
other devices to register themselves as a privacy-screen provider; and
allowing the drm/kms code to get a privacy-screen provider associated
with a specific GPU/connector combo.
Changes in v2:
- Make CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN a bool which controls if the drm_privacy
code gets built as part of the main drm module rather then making it
a tristate which builds its own module.
- Add a #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DRM_PRIVACY_SCREEN) check to
drm_privacy_screen_consumer.h and define stubs when the check fails.
Together these 2 changes fix several dependency issues.
- Remove module related code now that this is part of the main drm.ko
- Use drm_class as class for the privacy-screen devices instead of
adding a separate class for this
Changes in v3:
- Make the static inline drm_privacy_screen_get_state() stub set sw_state
and hw_state to PRIVACY_SCREEN_DISABLED to squelch an uninitialized
variable warning when CONFIG_DRM_PRIVICAY_SCREEN is not set
Changes in v4:
- Make drm_privacy_screen_set_sw_state() skip calling out to the hw if
hw_state == new_sw_state

Add support for generic electronic privacy screen properties, that
can be added by systems that have an integrated EPS.
Changes in v2 (Hans de Goede)
- Create 2 properties, "privacy-screen sw-state" and
"privacy-screen hw-state", to deal with devices where the OS might be
locked out of making state changes
- Write kerneldoc explaining how the 2 properties work together, what
happens when changes to the state are made outside of the DRM code's
control, etc.
Changes in v3 (Hans de Goede)
- Some small tweaks to the kerneldoc describing the 2 properties
Changes in v4 (Hans de Goede)
- Change the "Enabled, locked" and "Disabled, locked" hw-state enum value
names to "Enabled-locked" and "Disabled-locked". The xrandr command shows
all possible enum values separated by commas in its output, so having a
comma in an enum name is not a good idea.
- Do not add a privacy_screen_hw_state member to drm_connector_state
since this property is immutable its value must be directly stored in the
obj->properties->values array
