Subject: [PATCH 2.6.17 sparc64] 32-bit compat for Mach64 framebuffer
Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
In recent sparc64 kernels, starting a 32-bit mode X server on
a machine with a Mach64 framebuffer (CONFIG_FB_ATY_CT=y) like
an Ultra5, results in the kernel complaining:
ioctl32(X:1977): Unknown cmd fd(6) cmd(40584606){00} arg(ef8dd6d8) on /dev/fb0
ioctl32(X:1977): Unknown cmd fd(6) cmd(40184600){00} arg(ef8dd6e0) on /dev/fb0
That's FBIOGTYPE and FBIOGATTR. These errors occur because
kernel 2.6.15-rc2 changed the way sparc64 handles SPARC-specific
framebuffer ioctls from 32-bit processes: before 2.6.15-rc2
arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c handled them for all devices,
but 2.6.15-rc2 dropped that support and changed SPARC-only
framebuffer drivers like ffb.c to set up ->compat_ioctl methods
pointing to sbusfb_compat_ioctl in drivers/video/sbuslib.c.
However, drivers for framebuffers like the Mach64 that can exist
on both SPARCs and non-SPARCs were not adjusted, so in sparc64
kernels SPARC-specific framebuffer ioctls on Mach64 devices are
no longer accepted from 32-bit mode processes. Hence the errors.
The fix is to make atyfb_base.c set up a ->compat_ioctl pointing
to sbusfb_compat_ioctl when running in a sparc64 kernel with
compatibility for sparc32 user-space, and to compile and link
sbuslib.o with the frambuffer driver.
A complication is that sbuslib.c doesn't compile on non-SPARC
machines, so we must be careful to only enable it in the case
described above. That's why the patch puts an ugly "if" statement
in the Makefile.
