30eb77f4e6 drm/radeon: precompute fence cpu/gpu addr once v3
Add a start fence driver helper function which will be call
once for each ring and will compute cpu/gpu addr for fence
depending on wether to use wb buffer or scratch reg.

This patch replace initialize fence driver separately which
was broken in regard of GPU lockup. The fence list for created,
emited, signaled must be initialize once and only from the
asic init callback not from the startup call back which is
call from the gpu reset.

v2: With this in place we no longer need to know the number of
    rings in fence_driver_init, also writing to the scratch reg
    before knowing its offset is a bad idea.

v3: rebase on top of change to previous patch in the serie

d0f8a854c3 drm/radeon/kms/r6xx+: use new style fencing (v3)
On r6xx+ a newer fence mechanism was implemented to replace
the old wait_until plus scratch regs setup.  A single EOP event
will flush the destination caches, write a fence value, and generate
an interrupt.  This is the recommended fence mechanism on r6xx+ asics.

This requires my previous writeback patch.

v2: fix typo that enabled event fence checking on all asics
rather than just r6xx+.

v3: properly enable EOP interrupts
Should fix:

724c80e1d6 drm/radeon/kms: enable writeback (v2)
When writeback is enabled, the GPU shadows writes to certain
registers into a buffer in memory.  The driver can then read
the values from the shadow rather than reading back from the
register across the bus.  Writeback can be disabled by setting
the no_wb module param to 1.

On r6xx/r7xx/evergreen, the following registers are shadowed:
- CP scratch registers
- CP read pointer
- IH write pointer
On r1xx-rr5xx, the following registers are shadowed:
- CP scratch registers
- CP read pointer

v2:
- Combine wb patches for r6xx-evergreen and r1xx-r5xx
- Writeback is disabled on AGP boards since it tends to be
unreliable on AGP using the gart.
- Check radeon_wb_init return values properly.

a1e9ada3e1 drm/radeon/kms: R3XX-R4XX fix GPU reset code
Previous reset code leaded to computer hard lockup (need to unplug
the power too reboot the computer) on various configuration. This
patch change the reset code to avoid hard lockup. The GPU reset
is failing most of the time but at least user can log in remotely
or properly shutdown the computer.

Two issues were leading to hard lockup :
- Writting to the scratch register lead to hard lockup most likely
because the write back mecanism is in fuzy state after GPU lockup.
- Resetting the GPU memory controller and not reinitializing it
after leaded to hard lockup. We did only reinitialize in case of
successfull reset thus unsuccessfull reset quickly leaded to hard
lockup.

90aca4d274 drm/radeon/kms: simplify & improve GPU reset V2
This simplify and improve GPU reset for R1XX-R6XX hw, it's
not 100% reliable here are result:
- R1XX/R2XX works bunch of time in a row, sometimes it
  seems it can work indifinitly
- R3XX/R3XX the most unreliable one, sometimes you will be
  able to reset few times, sometimes not even once
- R5XX more reliable than previous hw, seems to work most
  of the times but once in a while it fails for no obvious
  reasons (same status than previous reset just no same
  happy ending)
- R6XX/R7XX are lot more reliable with this patch, still
  it seems that it can fail after a bunch (reset every
  2sec for 3hour bring down the GPU & computer)

This have been tested on various hw, for some odd reasons
i wasn't able to lockup RS480/RS690 (while they use to
love locking up).

Note that on R1XX-R5XX the cursor will disapear after
lockup haven't checked why, switch to console and back
to X will restore cursor.

Next step is to record the bogus command that leaded to
the lockup.

V2 Fix r6xx resume path to avoid reinitializing blit
module, use the gpu_lockup boolean to avoid entering
inifinite waiting loop on fence while reiniting the GPU

225758d8ba drm/radeon/kms: fence cleanup + more reliable GPU lockup detection V4
This patch cleanup the fence code, it drops the timeout field of
fence as the time to complete each IB is unpredictable and shouldn't
be bound.

The fence cleanup lead to GPU lockup detection improvement, this
patch introduce a callback, allowing to do asic specific test for
lockup detection. In this patch the CP is use as a first indicator
of GPU lockup. If CP doesn't make progress during 1second we assume
we are facing a GPU lockup.

To avoid overhead of testing GPU lockup frequently due to fence
taking time to be signaled we query the lockup callback every
500msec. There is plenty code comment explaining the design & choise
inside the code.

This have been tested mostly on R3XX/R5XX hw, in normal running
destkop (compiz firefox, quake3 running) the lockup callback wasn't
call once (1 hour session). Also tested with forcing GPU lockup and
lockup was reported after the 1s CP activity timeout.

V2 switch to 500ms timeout so GPU lockup get call at least 2 times
   in less than 2sec.
V3 store last jiffies in fence struct so on ERESTART, EBUSY we keep
   track of how long we already wait for a given fence
V4 make sure we got up to date cp read pointer so we don't have
   false positive

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

d8f60cfc93 drm/radeon/kms: Add support for interrupts on r6xx/r7xx chips (v3)
This enables the use of interrupts on r6xx/r7xx hardware.
Interrupts are implemented via a ring buffer.  The GPU adds
interrupts vectors to the ring and the host reads them off
in the interrupt handler.  The interrupt controller requires
firmware like the CP.  This firmware must be installed and
accessble to the firmware loader for interrupts to function.

MSIs don't seem to work on my RS780.  They work fine on all
my discrete cards.  I'm not sure about other RS780s or
RS880s.  I've disabled MSIs on RS780 and RS880, but it would
probably be worth checking on some other systems.

v2 - fix some checkpatch.pl problems;
     re-read the disp int status reg if we restart the ih;

v3 - remove the irq handler if r600_irq_init() fails;
     remove spinlock in r600_ih_ring_fini();
     move ih rb overflow check to r600_get_ih_wptr();
     move irq ack to separate function;

3b170c3b2e drm/radeon/kms: allow interruptible waits for objects.
Blocking here isn't something the X server mouse appreciates,
avoid the block and let userspace retry the waits.

libdrm_radeon userspace library is also expecting EBUSY not ERESTART

771fe6b912 drm/radeon: introduce kernel modesetting for radeon hardware
Add kernel modesetting support to radeon driver, use the ttm memory
manager to manage memory and DRM/GEM to provide userspace API.
In order to avoid backward compatibility issue and to allow clean
design and code the radeon kernel modesetting use different code path
than old radeon/drm driver.

When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
in the log and they return failure.

KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect
the position of the different buffers.

The kernel will also perform security check on command stream
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. This part
of the code is still incomplete and this why we propose that patch
as a staging driver addition, future security might forbid current
experimental userspace to run.

This code support the following hardware : R1XX,R2XX,R3XX,R4XX,R5XX
(radeon up to X1950). Works is underway to provide support for R6XX,
R7XX and newer hardware (radeon from HD2XXX to HD4XXX).
