Our PFIFO/PGRAPH context save/load functions don't really work well
(at all?) on nv5x yet. Depending on what random state the card is
in before the drm loads, fbcon probably won't work correctly.
Luckily we've setup the GPU in such a way that it'll actually do a
hw context switch for the first context. Not sure of how successful
this'd be currently on the older chips (actually, pretty sure it won't
work), so NV50 only for now.
Will hopefully work a bit better than previous code, which depended on
knowing the channel's most recent PUT value. Some chips always return
0 on reading these regs, and currently userspace is the only other entity
which knows the value.
Need to find another way of doing this, ideally someone'd hunt down which
object/method controls it! The Xv blit adaptor is likely now broken on
cards that have pNv->WaitVSyncPossible enabled.
1. DRM_NOUVEAU_GPUOBJ_FREE
Used to free GPU objects. The obvious usage case is for Gr objects,
but notifiers can also be destroyed in the same way.
GPU objects gain a destructor method and private data fields with
this change, so other specialised cases (like notifiers) can be
implemented on top of gpuobjs.
2. DRM_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_FREE
3. DRM_NOUVEAU_CARD_INIT
Ideally we'd do init during module load, but this isn't currently
possible. Doing init during firstopen() is bad as X has a love of
opening/closing the DRM many times during startup. Once the
modesetting-101 branch is merged this can go away.
IRQs are enabled in nouveau_card_init() now, rather than having the
X server call drmCtlInstHandler(). We'll need this for when we give
the kernel module its own channel.
4. DRM_NOUVEAU_GETPARAM
Add CHIPSET_ID value, which will return the chipset id derived
from NV_PMC_BOOT_0.
4. Use list_* in a few places, rather than home-brewed stuff.
The data is now in kernel space, copied in/out as appropriate according to the
This results in DRM_COPY_{TO,FROM}_USER going away, and error paths to deal
with those failures. This also means that XFree86 4.2.0 support for i810 DRM
is lost.
As a fallout, replace filp storage with file_priv storage for "unique
identifier of a client" all over the DRM. There is a 1:1 mapping, so this
should be a noop. This could be a minor performance improvement, as everything
on Linux dereferenced filp to get file_priv anyway, while only the mmap ioctls
went the other direction.
This was used to make all ioctl handlers return -errno on linux and errno on
*BSD. Instead, just return -errno in shared code, and flip sign on return from
shared code to *BSD code.
Allows multiple references to a single object, needed to support PCI(E)GART
scatter-gather DMA objects which would quickly fill PRAMIN if each channel
had its own.
Handle per-channel private instmem areas. This is needed to support NV50,
but might be something we want to do on earlier chipsets at some point?
Everything that touches PRAMIN is a GPU object.
For various reasons, this ioctl was a bad idea.
At channel creation we now automatically create DMA objects covering
available VRAM and GART memory, where the client used to do this themselves.
However, there is still a need to be able to create DMA objects pointing at
specific areas of memory (ie. notifiers). Each channel is now allocated a
small amount of memory from which a client can suballocate things (such as
notifiers), and have a DMA object created which covers the suballocated area.
The NOTIFIER_ALLOC ioctl exposes this functionality.
NV04/NV10 load_context()/save_context() are stubs. I don't know enough about
how they work to implement them sanely. The "old" context_switch() code
remains hooked up, so it shouldn't break anything.
NV20 will probably break if load_context() works. No inital context values
are filled in, so when the first channel is created PGRAPH will probably end
up having its state zeroed. Some setup from nv20_graph_init() will probably
need to be moved to the per-channel context setup.
