7d14bb6b53 drm: don't call ->firstopen for KMS drivers
It has way too much potential for driver writers to do stupid things
like delayed hw setup because the load sequence is somehow racy (e.g.
the imx driver in staging). So don't call it for modesetting drivers,
which reduces the complexity of the drm core -> driver interface a
notch.

v2: Don't forget to update DocBook.

v3: Go with Laurent's slightly more elaborate proposal for the DocBook
update. Add a few words on top of his diff to elaborate a bit on what
KMS drivers should and shouldn't do in lastclose. There was already a
paragraph present talking about restoring properties, I've simply
extended that one.

cabaafc789 drm: add flip-work helper
A small helper to queue up work to do, from workqueue context, after a

b0e898ac55 drm: remove FASYNC support
So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.

First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...

Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.

No merged drm driver has ever done that.

After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:

commit 1430163b4bbf7b00367ea1066c1c5fe85dbeefed
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
Date:   Sun Aug 29 12:04:35 2004 +0000

    Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...

Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.

So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.

v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.

v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.

v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

fe3078fa5c drm: add unified vma offset manager
If we want to map GPU memory into user-space, we need to linearize the
addresses to not confuse mm-core. Currently, GEM and TTM both implement
their own offset-managers to assign a pgoff to each object for user-space
CPU access. GEM uses a hash-table, TTM uses an rbtree.

This patch provides a unified implementation that can be used to replace
both. TTM allows partial mmaps with a given offset, so we cannot use
hashtables as the start address may not be known at mmap time. Hence, we
use the rbtree-implementation of TTM.

We could easily update drm_mm to use an rbtree instead of a linked list
for it's object list and thus drop the rbtree from the vma-manager.
However, this would slow down drm_mm object allocation for all other
use-cases (rbtree insertion) and add another 4-8 bytes to each mm node.
Hence, use the separate tree but allow for later migration.

This is a rewrite of the 2012-proposal by David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>

v2:
 - fix Docbook integration
 - drop drm_mm_node_linked() and use drm_mm_node_allocated()
 - remove unjustified likely/unlikely usage (but keep for rbtree paths)
 - remove BUG_ON() as drm_mm already does that
 - clarify page-based vs. byte-based addresses
 - use drm_vma_node_reset() for initialization, too
v4:
 - allow external locking via drm_vma_offset_un/lock_lookup()
 - add locked lookup helper drm_vma_offset_lookup_locked()
v5:
 - fix drm_vma_offset_lookup() to correctly validate range-mismatches
   (fix (offset > start + pages))
 - fix drm_vma_offset_exact_lookup() to actually do what it says
 - remove redundant vm_pages member (add drm_vma_node_size() helper)
 - remove unneeded goto
 - fix documentation

2e17c5a97e Merge branch 'drm-next' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux
Pull drm updates from Dave Airlie:
 "Okay this is the big one, I was stalled on the fbdev pull req as I
  stupidly let fbdev guys merge a patch I required to fix a warning with
  some patches I had, they ended up merging the patch from the wrong
  place, but the warning should be fixed.  In future I'll just take the
  patch myself!

  Outside drm:

  There are some snd changes for the HDMI audio interactions on haswell,
  they've been acked for inclusion via my tree.  This relies on the
  wound/wait tree from Ingo which is already merged.

  Major changes:

  AMD finally released the dynamic power management code for all their
  GPUs from r600->present day, this is great, off by default for now but
  also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request.

  Since it landed there has been a lot of community testing and Alex has
  sent a lot of fixes for any bugs found so far.  I suspect radeon might
  now be the biggest kernel driver ever :-P p.s.  radeon.dpm=1 to enable
  dynamic powermanagement for anyone.

  New drivers:

  Renesas r-car display unit.

  Other highlights:

   - core: GEM CMA prime support, use new w/w mutexs for TTM
     reservations, cursor hotspot, doc updates
   - dvo chips: chrontel 7010B support
   - i915: Haswell (fbc, ips, vecs, watermarks, audio powerwell),
     Valleyview (enabled by default, rc6), lots of pll reworking, 30bpp
     support (this time for sure)
   - nouveau: async buffer object deletion, context/register init
     updates, kernel vp2 engine support, GF117 support, GK110 accel
     support (with external nvidia ucode), context cleanups.
   - exynos: memory leak fixes, Add S3C64XX SoC series support, device
     tree updates, common clock framework support,
   - qxl: cursor hotspot support, multi-monitor support, suspend/resume
     support
   - mgag200: hw cursor support, g200 mode limiting
   - shmobile: prime support
   - tegra: fixes mostly

  I've been banging on this quite a lot due to the size of it, and it
  seems to okay on everything I've tested it on."

207fd32970 drm/fb-helper: improve kerneldoc
Now that the fbdev helper interface for drivers is trimmed down,
update the kerneldoc for all the remaining exported functions.

I've tried to beat the DocBook a bit by reordering the function
references a bit into a more sensible ordering. But that didn't work
out at all. Hence just extend the in-code DOC: section a bit.

Also remove the LOCKING: sections - especially for the setup functions
they're totally bogus. But that's not a documentation problem, but
simply an artifact of the current rather hazardous locking around drm
init and even more so around fbdev setup ...

v2: Some further improvements:
- Also add documentation for drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors,
  Dave Airlie didn't want me to kill this one from the fb helper
  interface.
- Update docs for drm_fb_helper_fill_var/fix - they should be used
  from the driver's ->fb_probe callback to setup the fbdev info
  structure.
- Clarify what the ->fb_probe callback should all do - it needs to
  setup both the fbdev info and allocate the drm framebuffer used as
  backing storage.
- Add basic documentaation for the drm_fb_helper_funcs driver callback
  vfunc.

v3: Implement clarifications Laurent Pinchart suggested in his review.

v4: Fix another mispelling Laurent spotted.

89177644a7 drm: add prime helpers
Instead of reimplementing all of the dma_buf functionality in every driver,
create helpers drm_prime_import and drm_prime_export that implement them in
terms of new, lower-level hook functions:

  gem_prime_pin: callback when a buffer is created, used to pin buffers into GTT
  gem_prime_get_sg_table: convert a drm_gem_object to an sg_table for export
  gem_prime_import_sg_table: convert an sg_table into a drm_gem_object
  gem_prime_vmap, gem_prime_vunmap: map and unmap an object

These hooks are optional; drivers can opt in by using drm_gem_prime_import and
drm_gem_prime_export as the .gem_prime_import and .gem_prime_export fields of
struct drm_driver.

v2:
- Drop .begin_cpu_access.  None of the drivers this code replaces implemented
  it.  Having it here was a leftover from when I was trying to include i915 in
  this rework.
- Use mutex_lock instead of mutex_lock_interruptible, as these three drivers
  did.  This patch series shouldn't change that behavior.
- Rename helpers to gem_prime_get_sg_table and gem_prime_import_sg_table.
  Rename struct sg_table* variables to 'sgt' for clarity.
- Update drm.tmpl for these new hooks.

v3:
- Pass the vaddr down to the driver.  This lets drivers that just call vunmap on
  the pointer avoid having to store the pointer in their GEM private structures.
- Move documentation into a /** DOC */ comment in drm_prime.c and include it in
  drm.tmpl with a !P line.  I tried to use !F lines to include documentation of
  the individual functions from drmP.h, but the docproc / kernel-doc scripts
  barf on that file, so hopefully this is good enough for now.
- apply refcount fix from commit be8a42ae60
  ("drm/prime: drop reference on imported dma-buf come from gem")

9029bd7a42 DocBook/drm: The word `so-called'; I do not think it connotes what you think it connotes
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:

    So-called \So"-called`\, a.
       So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with
       doubtful propriety).

  From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:

    so-called
         adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help"
               [syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}]

My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant'
or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of
'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings).

In English, it would be better to use:

  what is called

or a better translation of 'so gennant':

  so named
