Chris Wilson 092467327c drm/i915: Write RING_TAIL once per-request
Ignoring the legacy DRI1 code, and a couple of special cases (to be
discussed later), all access to the ring is mediated through requests.
The first write to a ring will grab a seqno and mark the ring as having
an outstanding_lazy_request. Either through explicitly adding a request
after an execbuffer or through an implicit wait (either by the CPU or by
a semaphore), that sequence of writes will be terminated with a request.
So we can ellide all the intervening writes to the tail register and
send the entire command stream to the GPU at once. This will reduce the
number of *serialising* writes to the tail register by a factor or 3-5
times (depending upon architecture and number of workarounds, context
switches, etc involved). This becomes even more noticeable when the
register write is overloaded with a number of debugging tools. The
astute reader will wonder if it is then possible to overflow the ring
with a single command. It is not. When we start a command sequence to
the ring, we check for available space and issue a wait in case we have
not. The ring wait will in this case be forced to flush the outstanding
register write and then poll the ACTHD for sufficient space to continue.

The exception to the rule where everything is inside a request are a few
initialisation cases where we may want to write GPU commands via the CS
before userspace wakes up and page flips.

************************************************************

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
