If we ever want to be able to use the 3D engine we have no choice. It
appears that the tiling setup (required for 3D on G8x) is in the page tables.
The immediate benefit of this change however is that it's now not possible
for a client to use the GPU to render over the top of important engine setup
tables, which also live in VRAM.
G8x VRAM size is limited to 512MiB at the moment, as we use a 1-1 mapping
of real vram pages to their offset within the start of a channel's VRAM
DMA object and only populate a single PDE for VRAM use.
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.
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.
The PGRAPH init for the various cards will need cleaning up at some point,
a lot of the values written there are per-context state left over from the
all the hardcoding done in the ddx.
It's possible some cards get broken by this commit, let me know.
Tested on: NV5, NV18, NV28, NV35, NV40, NV4E
graphics objects:
- No longer takes flags/dmaobj parameters, requires some major changes
to the ddx to setup the object through the FIFO. This change is
likely to cause breakages on some cards (tested on NV05,NV28,NV35,
NV40 and NV4E).
dma objects:
- now takes a "class" parameter, not really used yet but we may need
it at some point.
- parameters are checked, so clients can't randomly create DMA objects
pointing at whatever they feel like.
misc:
- Added FB_SIZE/AGP_SIZE getparams
- Read PFIFO_INTR in PFIFO irq handler, not PMC_INTR
- Dump PGRAPH trap info on PGRAPH_INTR_NOTIFY if NSOURCE isn't
NOTIFICATION_PENDING.
Added preliminary support for context switches (triggers the interrupts, but hangs after the switch ; something's not quite right yet).
Removed the PFIFO_REINIT ioctl. I hope it's that a good idea...
Requires the upcoming commit to the DDX.
