These require that the status page be referenced by a pointer in GTT, rather
than phsyical memory. So, we have the X Server allocate that memory and tell
us the address, instead.
i915_driver_irq_postinstall was forcing vblank interrupts to pipe A when
called with vblank interrupts disabled. This caused vblank interrupts to be
accidentally re-enabled when VT switching the X server. Instead, start the
driver with vblank interrupts enabled on pipe A to support older X servers,
but then leave control over the state to the X server if it is able to do so.
The MI_WAIT_FOR_EVENT instruction does not support waiting for several events
at once, so this should fix the lockups with page flipping when both pipes are
enabled.
Always use dev_priv->sarea_priv->pf_current_page directly. This allows clients
to modify it as well while they hold the HW lock, e.g. in order to sync pages
between pipes.
The assumption is that synchronous flips are not isolated usually, and waiting
for all of them could result in stalling the pipeline for long periods of time.
Also use i915_emit_mi_flush() instead of an old-fashioned way to achieve the
same effect.
Unfortunately, emitting asynchronous flips during vertical blank results in
tearing. So we have to wait for the previous vertical blank and emit a
synchronous flip.
Leave it to the client to wait for the flip to complete when necessary,
but wait for a previous flip to complete before emitting another one. This
should help avoid unnecessary stalling of the ring due to pending flips.
Call i915_do_cleanup_pageflip() unconditionally in preclose.
This means the loop will wait up to ~10ms for ring buffer space to become
available, rather than just however long it takes to check the space 10000
times. This matches other drivers' behavior when waiting for ring buffer/fifo
space.
This uses the core facility to schedule a driver callback that will be called
ASAP after the given vertical blank interrupt with the HW lock held.
(cherry picked from 257771fa29 commit)
0x00 EXE fence. Signals when command stream interpreter has reached the point
where the fence was emitted.
0x01 FLUSH fence. Signals when command stream interpreter has reached the point
where the fence was emitted, and all previous drawing operations have been
completed and flushed.
Implements busy wait (for fastest response time / high CPU) and
lazy wait (User interrupt or timer driven).
i915 vblanks can be generated from either pipe a or b, however a disabled
pipe generates no interrupts. This change allows the X server to select
which pipe generates vblank interrupts.
that particular file. Its contents have changed a good bit since the
original sis code, and the original sis code didn't care much about
attribution since it routinely disclaims Precision Insight/VA Linux
from responsibility. Also, adjust formatting around license headers
(have a comment open immediately before the "Copyright" line, not as a
runon of any previous comments) for automatic processing into FreeBSD,
where /*- is used to signal the beginning of license headers for
automatic compilation of license lists.

postinit and version were replaced with generic code in the Linux DRM
(drivers now set their version numbers and description in the driver
structure, like on BSD). postsetup wasn't used at all. Fixes the savage
hooks for initializing and tearing down mappings at the right times.
Testing involved at least starting X, running glxgears, killing
glxgears, exiting X, and repeating.
Tested on: FreeBSD (g200, g400, r200, r128) Linux (r200, savage4)
that a device absolutely is, absolutely is not, or may or may not be
AGP. Modify the i915 DRM to use this to force all i9x5 devices to be
"AGP" (even the PCI-e devices).
