iio: proximity: vl53l0x-i2c: claim direct mode for raw readsgrafted
vl53l0x_read_raw() starts a single-shot ranging measurement and reads
back the result. Once the triggered buffer is enabled the sensor runs in
continuous mode and its data-ready interrupt is routed to the trigger,
so a concurrent in_distance_raw read disturbs the streaming setup and
never gets its completion, returning -ETIMEDOUT.
The original submission claimed direct mode here, but it was dropped
during review because the driver had no buffer support at the time [1].
Continuous (buffered) mode was later added without restoring the
claim [2], reintroducing the conflict.
Reject direct reads while buffered capture is active by claiming direct
mode around the measurement, as the vl53l1x sibling already does.

A page fault in your kernel +log may look something like this: + +:: + + [gfxhub0] no-retry page fault (src_id:0 ring:24 vmid:3 pasid:32777, for process glxinfo pid 2424 thread glxinfo:cs0 pid 2425) + in page starting at address 0x0000800102800000 from IH client 0x1b (UTCL2) + VM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS:0x00301030 + Faulty UTCL2 client ID: TCP (0x8) + MORE_FAULTS: 0x0 + WALKER_ERROR: 0x0 + PERMISSION_FAULTS: 0x3 + MAPPING_ERROR: 0x0 + RW: 0x0 + +First you have the memory hub, gfxhub and mmhub. gfxhub is the memory +hub used for graphics, compute, and sdma on some chips. mmhub is the +memory hub used for multi-media and sdma on some chips. + +Next you have the vmid and pasid. If the vmid is 0, this fault was likely +caused by the kernel driver or firmware. If the vmid is non-0, it is generally +a fault in a user application. The pasid is used to link a vmid to a system +process id. If the process is active when the fault happens, the process +information will be printed. + +The GPU virtual address that caused the fault comes next. + +The client ID indicates the GPU block that caused the fault. +Some common client IDs: + +- CB/DB: The color/depth backend of the graphics pipe +- CPF: Command Processor Frontend +- CPC: Command Processor Compute +- CPG: Command Processor Graphics +- TCP/SQC/SQG: Shaders +- SDMA: SDMA engines +- VCN: Video encode/decode engines +- JPEG: JPEG engines + +PERMISSION_FAULTS describe what faults were encountered: + +- bit 0: the PTE was not valid +- bit 1: the PTE read bit was not set +- bit 2: the PTE write bit was not set +- bit 3: the PTE execute bit was not set + +Finally, RW, indicates whether the access was a read (0) or a write (1). + +In the example above, a shader (cliend id = TCP) generated a read (RW = 0x0) to +an invalid page (PERMISSION_FAULTS = 0x3) at GPU virtual address +0x0000800102800000. The user can then inspect their shader code and resource +descriptor state to determine what caused the GPU page fault. + +UMR +=== + +`umr <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/tomstdenis/umr>`_ is a general purpose +GPU debugging and diagnostics tool. Please see the umr +`documentation <https://umr.readthedocs.io/en/main/>`_ for more information +about its capabilities. + +Debugging backlight brightness +============================== +Default backlight brightness is intended to be set via the policy advertised +by the firmware. Firmware will often provide different defaults for AC or DC. +Furthermore, some userspace software will save backlight brightness during +the previous boot and attempt to restore it. + +Some firmware also has support for a feature called "Custom Backlight Curves" +where an input value for brightness is mapped along a linearly interpolated +curve of brightness values that better match display characteristics. + +In the event of problems happening with backlight, there is a trace event +that can be enabled at bootup to log every brightness change request. +This can help isolate where the problem is. To enable the trace event add +the following to the kernel command line: + + tp_printk trace_event=amdgpu_dm:amdgpu_dm_brightness:mod:amdgpu trace_buf_size=1M |
