This commit makes the video subsystem code cache aware.
Memory allocated for decompressed BMP memory is now cache line aligned.

Flushing of the dcache is also performed after copying BMP data to fb
address (it is done for 32 BPP bitmap used on Trats board (Exynos4210)).

Sorry if I have this wrong, just have a few comments.

Why do you need to align this one? It is just returned to the caller, isn't it?

I'm not sure this is needed - there is a call to lcd_sync() at the
bottom of this function now which should do the same thing,

Please can you take a look at currently mainline and see if you need
to do anything more?

Yes, it is returned to the caller, but afterwards lcd_display_bitmap
takes this pointer (and thereof probably unaligned buffer) and works on
it. (At least in the case of trats the bmp is gzipped).

Ok, I've checked. You are right, there is lcd_sync. Thanks for pointing.

I will force trats board to use it, and prepare patches.

OK, so it is directly used as a frame buffer? In that case it looks
right to me. I doubt you want to be able to control the cache features
for this area, since you only write it once. But if you did, then the
memory would currently need to be section-aligned.

I don't think this is as it should be.  Any frame buffer that actually
gets used as such should be located in the memory area specifically
allocated for this purpose using lcd_setmem().  This is especially
important when you load a splash screen image and intend to display it
flicker-free when booting an OS.  If you use malloc() or memalign(),
it will be memory in the malloc arena, which gets overwritten when an
OS boots, resulting in a corrupted display.

Note: I added Anatolij, our video custodian to the Cc: list.

OK, well in that case we should deprecate this business of using a
separate memory buffer as a frame buffer, and make people uncompress
the BMP to the normal frame buffer. It would simplify a few things and
I doubt there would be a speed penalty (or at least it could be
corrected by decompressing directly to the frame buffer).

Simon

the allocated area isn't directly used as a frame buffer, it is
a buffer for bmp image which will be processed by lcd_display_bitmap().
The latter looks at the image header/palette and fills the
frame buffer (lcd_base) with the image data. This image buffer can
be unaligned I think.

Anatolij

yes, for lcd.c driver the frame buffer is allocated by lcd_setmem().
malloc() is used only to buffer uncompressed BMP data here and it will
be freed right after extracting the pixel data to the actual frame buffer.

Anatolij
