This is just an idea that might or might not be a good idea,
it basically adds two ioctls to create a dumb and map a dumb buffer
suitable for scanout. The handle can be passed to the KMS ioctls to create
a framebuffer.
It looks to me like it would be useful in the following cases:
a) in development drivers - we can always provide a shadowfb fallback.
b) libkms users - we can clean up libkms a lot and avoid linking
to libdrm_*.
c) plymouth via libkms is a lot easier.
Userspace bits would be just calls + mmaps. We could probably
mark these handles somehow as not being suitable for acceleartion
so as top stop people who are dumber than dumb.

We can only utilize the stolen portion of the GTT if we are in sole

otherwise VESA continues to access stolen memory.

Rather than evicting an object at random, which is unlikely to alleviate
the memory pressure sufficient to allow us to continue, zap the entire
aperture. That should give the system long enough to recover and reap
some pages from the evicted objects, forestalling the allocation error
for the new object.

In order to retire active buffers whilst no client is active, we need to
insert our own flush requests onto the ring.
This is useful for servers that queue up some rendering and then go to
sleep as it allows us to the complete processing of those requests,
potentially making that memory available again much earlier.

We need to ensure that writes through the GTT land before any
modification to the MMIO registers and so must impose a mandatory write
barrier when flushing the GTT domain. This was revealed by relaxing the
write ordering by experimentally mapping the registers and the GATT as
write-combining.

The relative-to-general state default is useless as it means having to
rewrite the streaming kernels for each batch. Relative-to-surface is
more useful, as that stream usually needs to be rewritten for each
batch. And absolute addressing mode, vital if you start streaming
state, is also only available by adjusting the register...

In order for bos to retire eventually, a request must be sent down the
ring. This is expected, for example, by occlusion queries for which mesa
will wait upon (whilst running glean) before issuing more batches and so
the normal activity upon the ring is suspended and we need to emit a
request to clear the idle ring.

As the tracepoint is now decoupled from when the actual register is

As the userspace mappings are torn down on every GPU write, we prefer to
track when the buffer is activated (via a fresh i915_gem_fault). This
makes the LRU conceptually simpler. With coherent mappings, the
remaining use-case for set_domain_ioctl is GPU synchronisation.

With this change, every batchbuffer can use all available fences (save
pinned and scanout, of course) without ever stalling the gpu!
In theory. Currently the actual pipelined update of the register is
disabled due to some stability issues. However, just the deferred update
is a significant win.
Based on a series of patches by Daniel Vetter.
The premise is that before every access to a buffer through the GTT we
have to declare whether we need a register or not. If the access is by
the GPU, a pipelined update to the register is made via the ringbuffer,
and we track the last seqno of the batches that access it. If by the
CPU we wait for the last GPU access and update the register (either
to clear or to set it for the current buffer).
One advantage of being able to pipeline changes is that we can defer the
actual updating of the fence register until we first need to access the
object through the GTT, i.e. we can eliminate the stall on set_tiling.
This is important as the userspace bo cache does not track the tiling
status of active buffers which generate frequent stalls on gen3 when
enabling tiling for an already bound buffer.

We don't track gpu flush request in any special way. So even with
obj->write_domain == 0, a gpu flush might be outstanding but no
yet executed. Even worse, the latest request might use the object
only for reading. So and unconditional call to object_wait_rendering
is needed for !pipelined.
Hence revert that patch fully and untangle the flushing from the
synchronization again.

This is required to restore gtt mappings on resume when agp is gone.
The right way to do this would be to make sturct drm_mm_node embeddable

more memory than this wastes, anyway.

Currently if we hit a pagefault when applying a user relocation for the
execbuffer, we bail and return EFAULT to the application. Instead, we
need to unwind, drop the dev->struct_mutex, copy all the relocation
entries to a vmalloc array (to avoid any potential circular deadlocks
when resolving the pagefault), retake the mutex and then apply the
relocations. Afterwards, we need to again drop the lock and copy the
vmalloc array back to userspace.

Linus Torvalds found that it was rather trivial to trigger a system
freeze:
In fact, with lockdep, I don't even need to do the sysrq-d thing: it
shows the bug as it happens. It's the X server taking the same lock
recursively.
Here's the problem:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.37-rc2-00012-gbdbd01a #7
---------------------------------------------
Xorg/2816 is trying to acquire lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c626c>] i915_gem_fault+0x50/0x17e
but task is already holding lock:
(&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by Xorg/2816:
#0: (&dev->struct_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff812c403b>] i915_mutex_lock_interruptible+0x28/0x4a
#1: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff81022d4f>] page_fault+0x156/0x37b
This recursion was introduced by rearranging the locking to avoid the
double locking on the fast path (4f27b5d and fbd5a26d) and the
introduction of the prefault to encourage the fast paths (b5e4f2b). In
order to undo the problem, we rearrange the code to perform the access
validation upfront, attempt to prefault and then fight for control of the
mutex. the best case scenario where the mutex is uncontended the
prefaulting is not wasted.

An old and oft reported bug, is that of the GPU hanging on a
MI_WAIT_FOR_EVENT following a mode switch. The cause is that the GPU is
waiting on a scanline counter on an inactive pipe, and so waits for a
very long time until eventually the user reboots his machine.
We can prevent this either by moving the WAIT into the kernel and
thereby incurring considerable cost on every swapbuffers, or by waiting
for the GPU to retire the last batch that accesses the framebuffer
before installing a new one. As mode switches are much rarer than swap
buffers, this looks like an easy choice.
