Could you please integrate this with the framework provided by: include/linux/vga_switcheroo.h drivers/gpu/vga/vga_switcheroo.c vga_switcheroo will then automatically expose a sysfs interface. Find existing vga_switcheroo mux drivers in the tree like this, they may serve as a template: git grep "struct vga_switcheroo_handler" -- :/ Thanks, Lukas

I did investigate this first before submitting. The way asus does it is not standard at all. On switch you must reboot, and the change isn't reflected by the ACPI get method until reboot. It's very reflective of how they used dgpu_disable to work around windows issues that we do in Linux by removing the device from the device tree. The key thing is a reboot is required. This is not done on-the-fly. I have a two year old GX502 which has the same method as exposed here, and also a 2022 TUF laptop with same method. My understanding of this pariicular method is that it isn't the same one as what Nvidia is advertising, and ASUS is perhaps misadvertising it - the suspision is raised by the fact that my GX502 machine predates what Nvidia is advertising. Kind regards, Luke.

I see, thanks for the explanation. You may want to add that background information to the commit message if/when respinning. Indeed vga_switcheroo facilitates GPU switching at runtime, not upon next reboot. Thanks, Lukas

You can just as well poulate a single attribute statically from your driver. So I guess Hans and I disagree here. I have a feeling that we shouldn't be introducing custom ABI to userspace just because only "one" setting is offered. I anticipate that some day the DE's will offer a GUI setting built on top of fwupd which is built on top of firmware-attributes. If you *don't* populate a setting with firmware-attributes the only way that users will discover such a setting is by installing other custom userspace software that has the knowledge of it. At the end of the day it's up to Hans and Mark though, this is just my 2c.

Mario, thank you for your input here, it is much appreciated. As Luke mentioned in my quote using the firmware-attributes class for this really seems like overkill. As for discoverability, the firmware-attributes class only standardizes how to enum / change BIOS settings. The consumer of the API still must now the name of the setting which can/will be different per vendor. AFAIK fwupd only uses the firmware-attributes class to check for / disable some BIOS flashing protection. So having the GPU mux setting in the firmware-attributes class is not really relevant for fwupd. If in the future some generic tool which uses the firmware-attributes class to toggle GPU muxes is created (presumably with a lookup table for the exact setting's name under the firmare-attributes API) then we can always add firmware-attributes support for the GPU mux to asus-wmi at that point in time. I just don't think it is likely such a generic tool will happen (any time soon), so for now I still believe that using the firmware-attributes class for this is not necessary. Regards, Hans

Take a look at fwupd main (what will go into the next tagged 1.8.4 release). It's got support for "fwupdmgr get-bios-settings" and "fwupdmgr set-bios-settings" which will follow the rules the kernel API uses. So I expect that if this attribute was implemented as I suggested you could do: # fwupdmgr get-bios-settings and find the mux (including the possible values if it's declared a kernel enumeration attribute and possible_values is populated). If you populate the optional description attribute in the kernel fwupd will show you what your enumerated settings mean. followed by: # fwupdmgr set-bios-setting dGPUMux iGPU or # fwupdmgr set-bios-setting dGPUMux dGPU To set it. fwupd will prompt you to reboot the system after it's done changing it as well. It's implemented such that GUI clients can use libfwupd just the same, and I really think this increases discoverability of such a setting. > Regards, > > Hans >

Interesting, I must admit that that makes your argument for using the firmware-attributes class stronger. But in the end it IMHO still feels wrong to add firmware-attribute support for just a single setting, rather then for something which actually exports all or most BIOS settings. So for now I'm going to with this patch as is. If eventually it turns out that having this inside the firmware-attributes class would be really useful we can add it later, while keeping the sysfs attr for backward compat. My thinking being here that the code for the single sysfs attr is quite small, where as adding firmware-attributes class support will be more involved. Regards, Hans

My thinking being here that the code for the single sysfs attr is quite small, where as adding firmware-attributes class support will be more involved At least looking at the context of that diff I see a whole bunch of settings listed and this is "just one more". I noticed: "eGPU", "lid resume", "ALS enable", "fan boost mode". Maybe a later follow up should implement ALL of these as firmware-attributes but keep compatibility for sysfs. > > Regards, > > Hans >

If eventually it turns out that having this inside the firmware-attributes class would be really useful we can add it later, while keeping the sysfs attr for backward compat. My thinking being here that the code for the single sysfs attr is quite small, where as adding firmware-attributes class support will be more involved > At least looking at the context of that diff I see a whole bunch of settings listed and this is "just one more".

Yes that might be interesting, although most of these do not require a reboot AFAIK, still exporting them in some way where they are easier to discover/enumerate for userspace might be useful.

Jones <luke@ljones.dev> Thank you for your patch, I've applied this patch to my review-hans branch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git/log/?h=review-hans Note there were several whitespace/indentation issues with this patch. The documentation patch was using spaces instead of tabs and the .c changes where using 3 space indents instead of tabs in some places. I've fixed this up while merging this time around, but for future submissions please ensure that you get the indentation right and that you only use tabs and not spaces. Once I've run some tests on this branch the patches there will be added to the platform-drivers-x86/for-next branch and eventually will be included in the pdx86 pull-request to Linus for the next merge-window.

There's an assumption in fwupd right now that it doesn't re-read the pending_reboot attribute that I'll fix. It's up to the drivers to set that attribute if the system needs a reboot though. I remember when the Dell driver was implemented that some attributes don't need a reboot as well (particularly BIOS password IIRC). > > Regards, > > Hans >

Quite a bit for me to follow here. But going from the gist of it all I'm not opposed at all to implementing support for fwupd. I realise we already have a series of attributes under the wmi sysfs, and there will be more added - but in the first instances of this I (personally) wasn't aware of fwupd and who it was aiming to enable this, and secondly it was a very fast way to bring up support along with being easily discoverable with udev libs. Unfortunately it looks like it is going to be a large body of work to start doing fwupd support, and I'm not likely to have much time for it although I'd love to do it. I may well have a go with a single simple attribute and see how it works out, but man I wish I was getting paid for all this so I could justify the time cost. Mario, as I seem to be the single person adding support for various things with ASUS gaming laptops, please feel free to CC or email me (in addition to others) whenever required for the ASUS stuff. I tend to stick to the gaming laptops for now however (as I have two kinds I can test with). Kind regards, Luke.

I'm not sure how much effort it really will be compared to a "regular attribute". It's just controlling where it gets put and what sysfs files are exported. I would think it was a subset of this kind of stuff: Get the class: ret = fw_attributes_class_get(&fw_attr_class); Create the device: device_create(fw_attr_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), NULL, "%s", "asus-wmi"); Create a kset: kset_create_and_add("attributes", NULL, &class_dev->kobj); Create a group: sysfs_create_group(kobj, &group); Create sysfs files: sysfs_create_file(..); kobject_add(...) Various cleanup stuff: device_destroy() fw_attributes_class_put() think-lmi's implementation is easier to follow (tlmi_sysfs_init) for an example. > > Mario, as I seem to be the single person adding support for various > things with ASUS gaming laptops, please feel free to CC or email me (in > addition to others) whenever required for the ASUS stuff.

Support the hardware GPU MUX switch available on some models. This switch can toggle the MUX between: - 0, Dedicated mode - 1, Optimus mode Optimus mode is the regular iGPU + dGPU available, while dedicated mode switches the system to have only the dGPU available.
