PIPE_CONTROL added the high address dword. I'm not sure how the simulator let me get away with this. I've explicitly left out all the workarounds from Gen7 because in the minimal digging that I did, most don't seem necessary, and the simulator doesn't complain without them Note that BLT and BSD ring commands had already been updated previously. Just render/pipe_control should have been broken. v2: Squash in a fixup from Ville to follow the recent IVB PIPE_CONTROL updates: "BDW uses the IVB PIPE_CONTROL style for specifying GTT vs. PPGTT for the PIPE_CONTROL QW/DW write." v3: Rebase on top of Chris' cleanup to have an explicit ring->scratch buffer object instead of an opaque ring->private where everyone stores the same stuff inside.

v2: Squash in fix from Ben: Set PPGTT batches as necessary This fixes the regression in the last couple of days when we enabled PPGTT. v3: Squash in fixup to still use GTT for secure batches from Ville: BDW doesn't have a separate secure vs. non-secure bit in MI_BATCH_BUFFER_START. So for secure batches we have to simply leave the PPGTT bit unset. Fortunately older generations (except HSW) had similar limitations so execbuffer already creates a GTT mapping for all secure batches.

Legacy PPGTT on GEN8 requires programming 4 PDP registers per ring. Since all rings are using the same address space with the current code the logic is simply to program all the tables we've setup for the PPGTT. v2: Turn on PPGTT in GFX_MODE v3: v2 was the wrong patch v4: Resolve conflicts due to patch series reordering. v5: Squash in fixup from Ben: Use LRI to write PDPs The docs (and simulator seems to back up) suggest that we can only program legacy PPGTT PDPs with LRI commands. v6: Rebase around context differences conflicts. v7: Use #defines for per ring PDPs.

The upcoming clear and insert routines will expect that PDEs all point to valid Page Directories. Doing that lazily doesn't really buy us anything. The page allocation is done regardless earlier in init so it shouldn't hurt set the PDEs. v2: Squash in patches to implement fixed PDE write function: - If I had done this in the first place, the bug that's going to be fixed in an upcoming patch would have been much easier to find. - Use WB for PDEs. The PAT bit is used for page size. 2ME PDEs aren't even supported in BDW, so this was completely invalid. The solution is to make our PDEs WB+LLC instead of the pervious WB+eLLC. As far as I can guess, this change won't matter for performance.

Aside from the potential size increase of the PPGTT, the primary difference from previous hardware is the Page Directories are no longer carved out of the Global GTT. Note that the PDE allocation is done as a 8MB contiguous allocation, this needs to be eventually fixed (since driver reloading will be a pain otherwise). Also, this will be a no-go for real PPGTT support. v2: Move vtable initialization v3: Resolve conflicts due to patch series reordering. v4: Rebase on top of the address space refactoring of the PPGTT support. Drop Imre's r-b tag for v2, too outdated by now. v5: Free the correct amount of memory, "get_order takes size not a page count."

BDW caching works differently than the previous generations. Instead of having bits in the PTE which directly control how the page is cached, the 3 PTE bits PWT PCD and PAT provide an index into a PAT defined by register 0x40e0. This style of caching is functionally equivalent to how it works on HSW and before. v2: Tiny bikeshed as discussed on internal irc. v3: Squash in patch from Ville to mirror the x86 PAT setup more like in arch/x86/mm/pat.c. Primarily, the 0th index will be WB, and not uncached. v4: Comment for reason to not use a 64b write on the PPAT. v5: Add a FIXME comment that the caching bits in the PAT registers might be wrong due to doc confusion.

The interrupt handling implementation remains the same as previous generations with the 4 types of registers, status, identity, mask, and enable. However the layout of where the bits go have changed entirely. To address these changes, all of the interrupt vfuncs needed special gen8 code. The way it works is there is a top level status register now which informs the interrupt service routine which unit caused the interrupt, and therefore which interrupt registers to read to process the interrupt. For display the division is quite logical, a set of interrupt registers for each pipe, and in addition to those, a set each for "misc" and port. For GT the things get a bit hairy, as seen by the code. Each of the GT units has it's own bits defined. They all look *very similar* and resides in 16 bits of a GT register. As an example, RCS and BCS share register 0. To compact the code a bit, at a slight expense to complexity, this is exactly how the code works as well. 2 structures are added to the ring buffer so that our ring buffer interrupt handling code knows which ring shares the interrupt registers, and a shift value (ie. the top or bottom 16 bits of the register). The above allows us to kept the interrupt register caching scheme, the per interrupt enables, and the code to mask and unmask interrupts relatively clean (again at the cost of some more complexity). Most of the GT units mentioned above are command streamers, and so the symmetry should work quite well for even the yet to be implemented rings which Broadwell adds. v2: Fixes up a couple of bugs, and is more verbose about errors in the Broadwell interrupt handler. v3: fix DE_MISC IER offset v4: Simplify interrupts: I totally misread the docs the first time I implemented interrupts, and so this should greatly simplify the mess. Unlike GEN6, we never touch the regular mask registers in irq_get/put. v5: Rebased on to of recent pch hotplug setup changes. v6: Fixup on top of moving num_pipes to intel_info. v7: Rebased on top of Egbert Eich's hpd irq handling rework. Also wired up ibx_hpd_irq_setup for gen8. v8: Rebase on top of Jani's asle handling rework. v9: Rebase on top of Ben's VECS enabling for Haswell, where he unfortunately went OCD on the gt irq #defines. Not that they're still not yet fully consistent: - Used the GT_RENDER_ #defines + bdw shifts. - Dropped the shift from the L3_PARITY stuff, seemed clearer. - s/irq_refcount/irq_refcount.gt/ v10: Squash in VECS enabling patches and the gen8_gt_irq_handler refactoring from Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> v11: Rebase on top of the interrupt cleanups in upstream. v12: Rebase on top of Ben's DPF changes in upstream. v13: Drop bdw from the HAS_L3_DPF feature flag for now, it's unclear what exactly needs to be done. Requested by Ben. v14: Fix the patch. - Drop the mask of reserved bits and assorted logic, it doesn't match the spec. - Do the posting read inconditionally instead of commenting it out. - Add a GEN8_MASTER_IRQ_CONTROL definition and use it. - Fix up the GEN8_PIPE interrupt defines and give the GEN8_ prefixes - we actually will need to use them. - Enclose macros in do {} while (0) (checkpatch). - Clear DE_MISC interrupt bits only after having processed them. - Fix whitespace fail (checkpatch). - Fix overtly long lines where appropriate (checkpatch). - Don't use typedef'ed private_t (maintainer-scripts). - Align the function parameter list correctly.

GEN8 removes the GT FIFO which we've all come to know and love. Instead it offers a wider range of optimized registers which always keep a shadowed copy, and are fed to the GPU when it wakes. How this is implemented in hardware is still somewhat of a mystery. As far as I can tell, the basic design is as follows: If the register is not optimized, you must use the old forcewake mechanism to bring the GT out of sleep. [1] If register is in the optimized list the write will signal that the GT should begin to come out of whatever sleep state it is in. While the GT is coming out of sleep, the requested write will be stored in an intermediate shadow register. Do to the fact that the implementation details are not clear, I see several risks: 1. Order is not preserved as it is with GT FIFO. If we issue multiple writes to optimized registers, where order matters, we may need to serialize it with forcewake. 2. The optimized registers have only 1 shadowed slot, meaning if we issue multiple writes to the same register, and those values need to reach the GPU in order, forcewake will be required. [1] We could implement a SW queue the way the GT FIFO used to work if desired. NOTE: Compile tested only until we get real silicon. v2: - Use a default case to make future platforms also work. - Get rid of IS_BROADWELL since that's not yet defined, but we want to MMIO as soon as possible. v3: Apply suggestions from Mika's review: - s/optimized/shadowed/ - invert the logic of the helper so that it does what it says (the code itself was correct, just confusing to read). v4: - Squash in lost break.

I want to merge in the new Broadwell support as a late hw enabling pull request. But since the internal branch was based upon our drm-intel-nightly integration branch I need to resolve all the oustanding conflicts in drm/i915 with a backmerge to make the 60+ patches apply properly. We'll propably have some fun because Linus will come up with a slightly different merge solution. Conflicts: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_dma.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_crt.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ddi.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_dp.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h All rather simple adjacent lines changed or partial backports from -next to -fixes, with the exception of the thaw code in i915_dma.c.

Also change the underlying data types to be unsigned to avoid hairy surprises with sign extensions in cases where those variables get evaluated in unsigned expressions with bigger data types, e.g size_t.

A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm. A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm (for mm->pgd) The reasons it worked so far is amazing: 1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD. In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref. 2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d "n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data" Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #3.10 and 3.11 Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
