This is around 3x or so speedup, since we would read wide rows at a time, and
clflush each tile 8 times as a result. We'll want code related to this anyway
when we do fault-based per-page clflushing for sw fallbacks.
This increases overhead for the large-readpixels case due to the repeated
page cache accessing, but greatly reduces overhead for the small-readpixels
case.
One of our systems has been returning 0xffffffff from all MCHBAR reads, which
means we'll need to figure out why, or add an alternate detection method.
Various chips have exciting interactions between the CPU and the GPU's
different ways of accessing interleaved memory, so we need some kernel
assistance in determining how it works.
Only fully tested on GM965 so far.
With the interrupt enable/disable using only the mask register, it was wrong
to use the enable register to detect which pipes had vblank detection
turned on. Also, as we keep a local copy of the mask register around, and
MSI machines smack the hardware during the interrupt handler, it is more
efficient and more correct to use the local copy.
Clean up queues, free objects. On the next entervt, unmark the hardware to
let the user try again (presumably after resetting the chip). Someday we'll
automatically recover...

Noting that the interrupt mask register was more reliable than the interrupt
enable register for managing interrupts in user_irq_on/user_irq_off, this
patch replaces the remaining IER frobbing with IMR instead.
The test which exposes IER related failures is:
$ glxgears & glxgears & glxgears
(reposition the glxgears windows away from the upper left corner)
$ while :; do x11perf -rect100 -reps 800 -repeat 1; sleep 1; done &
$ while :; do runoa; runet; done &
While waiting for the hardware to idle on leavevt or lastclose, poll
for the sync sequence number instead of waiting for an interrupt. This
allows the code to bail if the hardware hangs for some reason. Also, this
avoids issues with signals as the exisiting wait function is interruptible.
find_or_create_page doesn't quite set up pages correctly; any newly created
pages aren't hooked into the shmem object quite right; user space mmaps of
those pages end up mapping pages full of zeros which then get written to the
real pages inappropriately. This patch requires that the kernel export
shmem_getpage.
When a software fallback has completed, usermode must notify the kernel so
that any scanout buffers can be synchronized. This ioctl should be called
whenever a fallback completes to flush CPU and chipset caches.
This fixes registration when MSI is set up after the stub function fills in
dev->irq. Otherwise /proc/interrupts would report attachment to the fasteoi
interrupt. dev->irq is still exposed (and updated at IRQ setup)
for the drivers that use it for whatever reason.
In leavevt_ioctl, queue an MI_FLUSH and then block waiting for it to
complete. This will empty the active and flushing lists. That leaves only
the inactive list to evict.
Pin/unpin need to know whether to remove/add objects from the inactive list,
inactive objects cannot be in any GPU write domain as those would be on the
flushing list instead. However, inactive objects may be in the CPU write
domain.
Now that gem_object_unbind waits for rendering to complete, objects should
not be active when they are being pulled from the GTT. BUG_ON if this is
broken.
