    drm/radeon: command stream checker for r3xx-r5xx hardware · 068a117c

    For security purpose we want to make sure the userspace process doesn't
    access memory beyond buffer it owns. To achieve this we need to check
    states the userspace program. For color buffer and zbuffer we check that
    the clipping register will discard access beyond buffers set as color
    or zbuffer. For vertex buffer we check that no vertex fetch will happen
    beyond buffer end. For texture we check various texture states (number
    of mipmap level, texture size, texture depth, ...) to compute the amount
    of memory the texture fetcher might access.
    
    The command stream checking impact the performances so far quick benchmark
    shows an average of 3% decrease in fps of various applications. It can
    be optimized a bit more by caching result of checking and thus avoid a
    full recheck if no states changed since last check.
    
    Note that this patch is still incomplete on checking side as it doesn't
    check 2d rendering states.
