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.
