Idea being if you want to add new crtc/output/encoder dynamically later,
you just increase the generation counter and userspace should re-read
all the resources
Okay we have crtc, encoder and connectors.
No more outputs exposed beyond driver internals
I've broken intel tv connector stuff.
Really for TV we should have one TV connector, with a sub property for the
type of signal been driven over it
Use subclassing from the drivers to allocate the objects. This saves
two objects being allocated for each crtc/output and generally makes
exit paths cleaner.
This splits a lot of the core modesetting code out into a file of
helper functions, that are only called from themselves and/or the driver.
The driver gets called into more often or can call these functions from itself
if it is a helper using driver.
I've broken framebuffer resize doing this but I didn't like the API for that
in any case.
The interrupt enable register cannot be used to temporarily disable
interrupts, instead use the interrupt mask register.
Note that this change means that a pile of buffers will be left stuck on the
chip as the final interrupts will not be recognized to come and drain things.
Add code to get panel modes from the VBIOS if present and check whether certain
outputs exist. Should make our display detection code a little more robust.
Recording the tail pointer in a local variable improves performance, but if
someone messes up and fails to reload at the right time, the driver will
write commands to the wrong part of the ring and scramble execution badly.
This change (available by setting I915_RING_VALIDATE to 1) checks to make
sure the cached tail pointer matches the hardware tail pointer at each ring
buffer addition, calling BUG_ON when that's not true.
There are now 3 lists. Active is buffers currently in the ringbuffer.
Flushing is not in the ringbuffer, but needs a flush before unbinding.
Inactive is as before. This prevents object_free → unbind →
wait_rendering → object_reference and a kernel oops about weird refcounting.
This also avoids an synchronous extra flush and wait when freeing a buffer
which had a write_domain set (such as a temporary rendered to and then from
using the 2d engine). It will sit around on the flushing list until the
appropriate flush gets emitted, or we need the GTT space for another
operation.
This lets us get some qualities we desire, such as using the full 32-bit
range (except zero), avoiding DRM_WAIT_ON, and a 1:1 mapping of active
sequence numbers to request structs, which will be used soon for throttling
and interrupt-driven list cleanup.
Additionally, a boolean active field is added to indicate which list an
object is on, rather than smashing last_rendering_cookie to 0 to show
inactive. This will help with flush-reduction later on, and makes the code
clearer.
It would be nice if one day the DRM driver was the canonical source for
register definitions and core macros. To that end, this patch cleans
things up quite a bit, removing redundant definitions (some with
different names referring to the same register) and generally tidying up
the header file.
In order to avoid recursive ->detect->interrupt->detect->interrupt->...
we need to disable TV hotplug interrupts in
intel_tv.c:intel_tv_detect_type. We also need to enable the TV interrupt
detection and hotplug sequence properly in i915_irq.c.
drm_crtc->fb may point to NULL, f.e X server will allocate a new fb
and assign it to the CRTC at startup, when X server exits, it will destroy
the allocated fb, making drm_crtc->fb points to NULL.
