drm/amd/display: Try RGB before YCbCr 4:4:4 in stream validationgrafted
amdgpu_dm_create_validate_stream_for_sink() walks encoding_order[] and
uses the first encoding that validates. YCbCr 4:4:4 is listed before
RGB, so an HDMI sink that advertises 4:4:4 gets YCbCr 4:4:4 whenever the
"color format" property is left at AUTO, even though RGB fits the same
link.
That contradicts the documented AUTO behaviour for HDMI in enum
drm_connector_color_format (RGB, falling back to YCbCr 4:2:0 only when
the bandwidth is not available or the mode is 4:2:0-only), which the
amdgpu implementation of the property also describes. It also leaves
the "Broadcast RGB" property without effect on such sinks, since the
quantization range it selects only applies to RGB output.
Try RGB first. The mask still holds every encoding the sink supports,
so a mode that cannot carry RGB falls back exactly as before.
For reference, v7.2 picked RGB here unless YCbCr 4:4:4 was forced
through debugfs, while earlier kernels picked YCbCr 4:4:4 for any HDMI
sink that advertised it.

Copyright 2006 Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> + +Sparse +====== + +Sparse is a semantic checker for C programs; it can be used to find a +number of potential problems with kernel code. See +https://lwn.net/Articles/689907/ for an overview of sparse; this document +contains some kernel-specific sparse information. +More information on sparse, mainly about its internals, can be found in +its official pages at https://sparse.docs.kernel.org. + + +Using sparse for typechecking +----------------------------- + +"__bitwise" is a type attribute, so you have to do something like this:: + + typedef int __bitwise pm_request_t; + + enum pm_request { + PM_SUSPEND = (__force pm_request_t) 1, + PM_RESUME = (__force pm_request_t) 2 + }; + +which makes PM_SUSPEND and PM_RESUME "bitwise" integers (the "__force" is +there because sparse will complain about casting to/from a bitwise type, +but in this case we really _do_ want to force the conversion). And because +the enum values are all the same type, now "enum pm_request" will be that +type too. + +And with gcc, all the "__bitwise"/"__force stuff" goes away, and it all +ends up looking just like integers to gcc. + +Quite frankly, you don't need the enum there. The above all really just +boils down to one special "int __bitwise" type. + +So the simpler way is to just do:: + + typedef int __bitwise pm_request_t; + + #define PM_SUSPEND ((__force pm_request_t) 1) + #define PM_RESUME ((__force pm_request_t) 2) + +and you now have all the infrastructure needed for strict typechecking. + +One small note: the constant integer "0" is special. You can use a +constant zero as a bitwise integer type without sparse ever complaining. +This is because "bitwise" (as the name implies) was designed for making +sure that bitwise types don't get mixed up (little-endian vs big-endian +vs cpu-endian vs whatever), and there the constant "0" really _is_ +special. + +Getting sparse +-------------- + +You can get tarballs of the latest released versions from: +https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/dist/ + +Alternatively, you can get snapshots of the latest development version +of sparse using git to clone:: + + git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git + +Once you have it, just do:: + + make + make install + +as a regular user, and it will install sparse in your ~/bin directory. + +Using sparse +------------ + +Do a kernel make with "make C=1" to run sparse on all the C files that get +recompiled, or use "make C=2" to run sparse on the files whether they need to +be recompiled or not. The latter is a fast way to check the whole tree if you +have already built it. + +The optional make variable CF can be used to pass arguments to sparse. The +build system passes -Wbitwise to sparse automatically. + +Note that sparse defines the __CHECKER__ preprocessor symbol. |
