These are cherrypicks from the aarch64-laptops [1] effort. I have
pinged those maintainers pointing out that these patches have not been
submitted upstream. In the future it should be... Otherwise, I'll keep
rebasing this.
This is useful on the AArch64 laptops [2] booting in ACPI mode, as they
are Win10 laptops they use/publish WMI, hence it should stop being x86
only and be enabled on arm64 too.

Hello, this appears to be a development-only mailing list, so pardon me if I’m disturbing anyone. I’m running a Samsung Galaxy Book 2 (using SD850 + QUALCOMM x20 modem + AMOLED touch screen, detachable KB, and stylus) and am wondering if the work being done mostly on Lenovo SD850 laptops apparently and older devices will apply to this hardware, or should I not hold my breath? Don’t worry, this isn’t an ETA or a complaint, I appreciate everything you’re doing and wish I knew more about programming so I could help out.

So, we still have sensor-hub and acpi-button disabled using kernel config.
I could patch the quirks into the kernel to skip loading those based
on DMI data.
However, that's a bit counter-productive as that's compiled in code
and enumerates SKUs.
Can I instead use kernel command line to skip initializing those
built-in and compiled modules?
Ie. would something like:
module_blacklist=hid-sensor-hub initcall_blacklist=acpi_button_driver_init
work, even when the kernel is configured with CONFIG_HID_SENSOR_HUB=m
and CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y ?
Also not sure if I got the initcall function name right.
I am asking because, it may be easier for me to control cmdline
reliably, instead of distro kernel config.

One of the challenges we need to handle to enable the aarch64 laptops
upstream is dealing with the fact that the bootloader enables the
display and takes the corresponding SMMU context-bank out of BYPASS.
Unfortunately, currently, the IOMMU framework attaches a DMA (or
potentially an IDENTITY) domain before the driver is probed and has
a chance to intervene and shutdown[1] scanout. Which makes things go
horribly wrong.
This also happens to solve a problem that is blocking us from supporting
per-context pagetables on the GPU, due to domain that is attached before
driver has a chance to attach it's own domain for the GPU.
But since the driver is managing it's own iommu domains directly, and
does not use dev->iommu_group->default_domain at all, the simple
solution to both problems is to just avoid attaching that domain in the
first place.
[1] Eventually we want to be able to do a seemless transition from
efifb to drm/msm... but first step is to get the core (iommu,
clk, genpd) pieces in place, so a first step of disabling the
display before first modeset enables us to get all of the
dependencies outside of drm/msm in place. And this at least
gets us parity with windows (which also appears to do a modeset
between bootloader and HLSO). After that there is a bunch of
drm/msm work that is probably not interesting to folks outside
of dri-devel.

Hi All,
I was on leave last week. I just chatted with Lee and have this summary
of the last two weeks.
+ Tested on-disk install.
+ Update Windows to get latest firmware.
+ Disable 'S' mode and resize Windows partitions.
+ Boot up the Custom Ubuntu installer, and install.
+ With the latest windows firmware, most USB sticks work?
+ SanDisk looks problematic.
+ Reproduced and tested GPU stack.
+ Not working yet.
+ Believed to be a problem with an old Mesa version.
+ Rawhide doesn't boot to grub any more :(
Blocking and Todo issues:
+ Hack to disable DMA in Qualcomm's Gini driver is still required
+ Kernel command-line: 'efi=novamap' required until f/w is fixed
+ CONFIG_HID_SENSOR_HUB still breaks the keyboard
+ CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON places us into suspend with no real way out
+ Trying to get DTB into 5.3 kernel.
best regards,
Richard

Hi,
I was able to follow the instructions in the following article and get Ubuntu booted successfully.
https://github.com/aarch64-laptops/build#Flashing-the-image
I understood that wireless network is not supported yet.
If i plugin a USB Wii-Lan Adapter, the adapter is not recognized as well.
Is there any other adapters that's known to work with ASUS Novago Laptop ?
Thanks,
Saravanan

Another use case is aarch64 laptops effort. We have the same kernel,
and the same image bootable and usable across 4 different laptop
models, with the only difference between them being the DTB to load.
I was looking at how I can distinguish between the four models and
automatically pick the right dtb. I did see these patches and was very
sad when I found out that they didn't get merged.
Thank you for rebasing these on top of v2.04. I will try to cherrypick
them on top of Debian's experimental 2.04 grub and try to build an
installer "that just boots" without requiring users to pick a
particular dtb menuentry by hand. There are only dtbs in these images,
and only one right one for each model.
(Post install, we have flash-kernel mechanisms to continuously flash
and use the right dtb, this is needed for the installer's grub to be
able to detect models and thus boot the right dtb)
Whilst these laptops might become dtb-free in the future, I expect new
hardware to come out which would need dtb picker based on SMBIOS info
again.

During a recent trip into windows-land, I noticed that Lenovo posted a
firmware update for the c630. I downloaded and installed that, leaving my
machine running 2.06. There don't appear to be any new menu options, and
no description of the changes were available.
I'm happy to run any diagnostic tooling for anyone that can't but is
interested, if that information would be helpful to the cause.
Hi All,
My notes from talking to Lee this week
--------------------------------------
+ DTB Loader v2.1 from Leif is available:
http://git.linaro.org/people/leif.lindholm/edk2.git/log/?h=dtbloader
+ Allows dual boot Linux and Windows.
+ EBBR compliant.
+ Kernel command line options:
+ efi=novamap is required for DT and ACPI
+ This can only be fixed in firmware.
+ console=tty0, pd_ignore_unused, clk_ignore_unused
+ not required on both DT and ACPI
+ A Ubuntu kernel build with latest laptop patches is available:
https://launchpad.net/~aarch64-laptops/+archive/ubuntu/linux-kernel/+build/…https://launchpad.net/~aarch64-laptops/+archive/ubuntu/linux-kernel-meta/+b…
