DRM_IOCTL_VIA_DMA_INIT DRM_IOCTL_VIA_CMDBUFFER DRM_IOCTL_VIA_FLUSH
The first ioctl sets up an area in AGP memory that will be used as the ring
buffer. The second ioctl copies a command buffer from user space memory
to the ring buffer. The third ioctl waits for engine idle until it
returns.
The motivation for this patch is to avoid the wait for engine idle call
before each buffer flush in the current DRI driver. With this patch,
the DRI driver can continue to flush its buffer as long as there is
free space in the ring buffer.
This patch adds an additional copy operation on the command buffer. This
buffer copying is necessary to support multiple DRI clients rendering
simultaneously. Otherwise, more CPU time will be spent in the busy loop
waiting for engine idle between DRI context switch. Even in the single
client case, the tradeoff is reasonable in comparision to the kernel
call to check for free buffer space for the client to render directly
to the ring buffer.
a busid that doesn't correspond to the device the DRM is attached to.
This is a breaking of backwards-compatibility only for the
multiple-DRI-head case with X Servers that don't use interface 1.1.
- Move irq_busid to drm_irq.h and make it only return the IRQ for the
current device. Retains compatibility with previous X Servers, cleans
up unnecessary code. This means no irq_busid on !__HAVE_IRQ, but can be
changed if necessary.
- Bump interface version to 1.2. This version when set signifies that the
control ioctl should ignore the irq number passed in and enable the
interrupt handler for the attached device. Otherwise it errors out when
the passed-in irq is not equal to the device's.
- Store the highest version the interface has been set to in the device.
- Fix a recursion on DRM_LOCK in irq_uninstall on FreeBSD. This leaves
irq_uninstall being done without the lock in some cases, but it was
racey anyways.
the 2D driver initializes MC_FB_LOCATION and related registers sanely
the DRM deduces the layout from these registers
clients use the new SETPARAM ioctl to tell the DRM where they think the
framebuffer is located in the card's address space
the DRM uses all this information to check client state and fix it up if
necessary
This is a prerequisite for things like direct rendering with IGP chips and
video capturing.
server or client to notify the DRM that it expects a certain version of
the device dependent or device independent interface. If the major
doesn't match or minor is too large, EINVAL is returned. A major of -1
means that the requestor doesn't care about that portion of the
interface. The ioctl returns the actual versions in the same struct.
- Introduce DRM DI interface version 1.1. If the server requests version
1.1, then the DRM sets the unique itself according to the busid of the
device it probed, which may then be accessed as normal using getunique.
- Request version 1.1 in libdrm's drmOpenByBusID, allowing the X Server to
request based on a BusID. Introduce a wrapper for DRM_IOCTL_SET_VERSION
and bump libdrm minor version.
- Pass the busid in DRIScreenInit if libdrm can handle both a busid and
name. This allows drmOpenByBusID to be used to find the DRM instead of
just the driver name, which allows us in the future to tie a DRM more
strongly to the device it probed to. Introduce a function
DRICreatePCIBusID which creates a busid in the form pci:oooo:bb:dd.f
similar to linux's pci_name() function. This matches the format used by
the DRM in version 1.1. libdrm knows how to match both this format and
the old PCI🅱️d:f format.
- Use the new DRICreatePCIBusID function in the *_dri.c to request the new,
more exact busid format.
from __HAVE_DMA. This will be useful for adding vblank sync support to
sis and tdfx. Rename dma_service to irq_handler, which is more
accurately what it is.
- Fix the #if _HAVE_DMA_IRQ in radeon, r128, mga, i810, i830, gamma to have
the right number of underscores. This may have been a problem in the
case that the server died without doing its DRM_IOCTL_CONTROL to
uninit.
just a single instance. Moved the PCI ID lists from <card>_drv.c in BSD
to <card>.h. The PCI ID lists include a driver private field, which may
be used by drivers for chip family or other information. Based on work
by jonsmirl.
- Make tdfx_drv.c and tdfx.h match other drivers.
- Fixed up linking of sis shared files.
Tested with Radeon and SiS on Linux and FreeBSD, including a Linux setup
with
2 SiS cards in a machine, but only one head being used (with DRI)
respectively. Splited the work out of the ioctls and renamed (with the
_ioctl prefix). Added some more documentation. Did the same for
drm_sgpsupport.h.
- Reset 'bound' flag for an agp entry after undbind succeeded in
drm_agpsupport.h (Egbert Eich).
- Ignore hw_lock for drm device if lock was set by a different instance (ie
Xserver) to prevent second server from spinning in driver release
function (currently only relevant for i8xx drm drivers) (David Dawes).
- Use the agpgart "key" for the unique handle for bindings rather than the
memory address (the key is guaranteed to be unique) (David Dawes).
1) Remove redundant header inclusion
2) Silence bitop on non-long argument warnings (change int to long)
3) Move to ISO C (gcc 2.6) initializers (accepted by older gccs also) All
of these are syntax changes that should not impact functionality.
agp chipsets to drm_agpsupport.h, redid the card detection common code
to use a structure (avoids endian porting issues), changed the tdfx
driver to use the kernel pci id '#defines'
be ported, rolled back r128 and i810 version bumps so 4.1.0 works with
cvs kernel modules, added Config.in and updated Makefile.kernel,
incorporated lots of drm fixes inspired by patches sent by Redhat, made
DRM(realloc) usage check for NULL allocations, restructure driver init
routines to export dev_priv only when initialized and to check for all
error conditions.
glide header files.
The changes include:
- Brian Paul's changes to the tdfx client-side 3D driver to make it
dlopen() the correct glide library (Voodoo3 or Voodoo5). This allows
both types of the glide library to co-exist, and allows Voodoo3/Voodoo5
cards to be mixed in multi-head configs.
- DRM kernel driver changes to allow a driver to set up multiple instances
(minor numbers), one for each card present that the driver supports.
This is currently implemented and tested only for the tdfx DRM driver.
- Add some missing missing <stdarg.h> includes.
- Some log message cleanups.
- Change the 2D tdfx driver to access VGA legacy registers via their PCI
I/O space access points rather than their legacy addresses, and fix
some problems with the way the VGA-related bits are initialised.
Status:
- With these changes, multi-head direct rendering works with multiple
Voodoo3 and/or Voodoo5 cards. This has been tested with two PCI Voodoo3
cards and an AGP Voodoo5 card, and all permutations of those.
Caveats:
- Xinerama is not supported. If Xinerama is enabled, then direct rendering
gets disabled.
- The text mode on secondary screens will show junk after the X server
exits.
- On some hardware, starting the X server on multiple 3dfx cards will
result in a hard lockup. One workaround is to enable APIC support in a
uni-processor kernel, or use an SMP kernel.
dev->agp, when agp_acquire called, and..... Uncomment MUST_HAVE_AGP
around agp_* calls, so that support for both agp/pci can happen in a
single kernel driver.
- Fix old-style DMA for gamma driver (please test).
- Pull out IRQ handling into drm_dma.h (please test on i810, gamma).
- Lots of general cleanups, remove compiler warnings etc.
