Ville Syrjälä 8fedd64dab drm/i915: Fix vblank timestamp/frame counter jumps on gen2
Previously I was under the impression that the scanline counter
reads 0 when the pipe is off. Turns out that's not correct, and
instead the scanline counter simply stops when the pipe stops, and
it retains it's last value until the pipe starts up again, at which
point the scanline counter jumps to vblank start.

These jumps can cause the timestamp to jump backwards by one frame.
Since we use the timestamps to guesstimage also the frame counter
value on gen2, that would cause the frame counter to also jump
backwards, which leads to a massice difference from the previous value.
The end result is that flips/vblank events don't appear to complete as
they're stuck waiting for the frame counter to catch up to that massive
difference.

Fix the problem properly by actually making sure the scanline counter
has started to move before we assume that it's safe to enable vblank
processing.

v2: Less pointless duplication in the code (Chris)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
