[PATCH] PCI/VGA: Don't assume only VGA device found is the boot VGA device
Posted by Mario Limonciello 1 month, 1 week ago
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

The ASUS GA605W has a NVIDIA PCI VGA device and an AMD PCI display device.

```
65:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD106M [GeForce RTX 4070 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1)
66:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Strix [Radeon 880M / 890M] (rev c1)
```

The fallback logic in vga_is_boot_device() flags the NVIDIA dGPU as the
boot VGA device, but really the eDP is connected to the AMD PCI display
device.

Drop this case to avoid marking the NVIDIA dGPU as the boot VGA device.

Hi Mario,

I can verify that this does leave the `boot_vga` attribute set as 0 for the NVIDIA device.

Does the following diff work for you?
This variant should be less risky for most systems.

diff --git a/drivers/pci/vgaarb.c b/drivers/pci/vgaarb.c

The problem is that the integrated graphics does not support VGA.

Right, so the check has to be used much earlier.

I wonder does the integrated GFX have _DOD/_DOS while the discrete one doesn't? 
If that's the case, vga_arb_integrated_gpu() can be used to differentiate which 
one is the boot GFX.

I think the problem is that the boot GPU is being conflated with vga
arb.  In this case the iGPU has no VGA so has no reason to be involved
in vga arb.  Trying to mess with any vga related resources on it could
be problematic.  Do higher levels of the stack look at vga arb to
determine the "primary" GPU?

Hmm, I wonder if all those heuristic are needed for EFI based system?

Can we assume that what being used by UEFI GOP is the primary GFX device?

Yes, I believe so.  The SBIOS should use the GOP device as determined
by the user preference.  I.e.., in the bios configuration you can
generally select iGPU or PEG for the primary display.

UEFI spec, 10.3.3.1 ACPI _ADR Device Path

"The _ADR device path is used to contain video output device attributes to 
support the Graphics Output Protocol. The device path can contain multiple _ADR 
entries if multiple video output devices are displaying the same output."

Luke, can you please see what are the _ADR values of the iGPU and dGPU? Maybe we 
can find which one was used by GOP this way.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at here, but initial search shows:

                Device (VGA)

                    {
                        DOSA = Arg0
                    }

                    Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized)  // _DOD: Display Output Devices
                    {
                        M460 ("PLA-ASL-\\_SB.PCI0.GPPA.VGA._DOD\n", Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero, Zero)

And:

            {
                Return (Package (0x01)

                    0x8000A450
                })
            }

            Device (LCD0)
            {
                Method (_ADR, 0, Serialized)  // _ADR: Address
                {
                    Return (0x8000A450)

https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/reverse-engineering/-/blob/master/uncategorized/GA605WI/ssdt1.dsl?ref_type=heads#L411

The links are direct to the lines I thought were relevant in the dumped DSDT.

Discrete might be missing the _DOS? I'm not sure how to interpret the gpu related DSL. You can see the dump here https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/reverse-engineering/-/tree/master/uncategorized/GA605WI?ref_type=heads

ssdt1.dsl contains _DOD and looks to be the discrete unit, does not contain _DOS. the dsdt contains both under "Device (VGA)"

For clarity, the iGPU is not a VGA class device.  The "primary" should
not have any dependency on the VGA PCI class, but I'm not sure how
exactly the kernel handles this case.  In this case, the primary
should be the iGPU which is not a VGA PCI class device.

I think if this code change to vga_is_boot_device() causes problems for 
anything older we'll probably need to add some helper that counts how 
many PCI VGA class devices are there on the system and change it to 
something like:

if (multiple_vga && !boot_vga)
