This reverts commit a7a75c8f70.
There are two different variations on how Intel hardware addresses the
"Hardware Status Page". One as a location in physical memory and the
other as an offset into the virtual memory of the GPU, used in more
recent chipsets. (The HWS itself is a cacheable region of memory which
the GPU can write to without requiring CPU synchronisation, used for
updating various details of hardware state, such as the position of
the GPU head in the ringbuffer, the last breadcrumb seqno, etc).
These two types of addresses were updated in different locations of code
- one inline with the ringbuffer initialisation, and the other during
device initialisation. (The HWS page is logically associated with
the rings, and there is one HWS page per ring.) During resume, only the
ringbuffers were being re-initialised along with the virtual HWS page,
leaving the older physical address HWS untouched. This then caused a
hang on the older gen3/4 (915GM, 945GM, 965GM) the first time we tried
to synchronise the GPU as the breadcrumbs were never being updated.

We always skipped flushing the BLT ring if the request flush did not
include the RENDER domain. However, this neglects that we try to flush
the COMMAND domain after every batch and before the breadcrumb interrupt
(to make sure the batch is indeed completed prior to the interrupt
firing and so insuring CPU coherency). As a result of the missing flush,
incoherency did indeed creep in, most notable when using lots of command
buffers and so potentially rewritting an active command buffer (i.e.
the GPU was still executing from it even though the following interrupt
had already fired and the request/buffer retired).
As all ring->flush routines now have the same preconditions, de-duplicate
and move those checks up into i915_gem_flush_ring().
Fixes gem_linear_blit.

Along the fast path for relocation handling, we attempt to copy directly
from the user data structures whilst holding our mutex. This causes
lockdep to warn about circular lock dependencies if we need to pagefault
the user pages. [Since when handling a page fault on a mmapped bo, we
need to acquire the struct mutex whilst already holding the mm
semaphore, it is then verboten to acquire the mm semaphore when already
holding the struct mutex. The likelihood of the user passing in the
relocations contained in a GTT mmaped bo is low, but conceivable for
extreme pathology.] In order to force the mm to return EFAULT rather
than handle the pagefault, we therefore need to disable pagefaults
across the relocation fast path.

The order of the calls does matter indeed. Swapping the call order of
intel_dp_destroy() and intel_dp_encoder_destroy() fixes the problem.
This is because i2c_del_adapter unregisters the device which parent is
intel_connector, and connectors are removed in intel_dp_destroy(). Thus
intel_dp_encoder_destroy() must be called before intel_dp_destroy().

... even though it was disabled. A mistake in the handling of fence reuse
caused us to skip the vital delay of waiting for the object to finish
rendering before changing the register. This resulted in us changing the
fence register whilst the bo was active and so causing the blits to
complete using the wrong stride or even the wrong tiling. (Visually the
effect is that small blocks of the screen look like they have been
interlaced). The fix is to wait for the GPU to finish using the memory
region pointed to by the fence before changing it.

[126167.232018] Call Trace:
Unfortunately the call trace reported was cut, but looking at debug
symbols the crash is at __list_del, when probably list_del is called
twice on the same request->client_list, as the dereferenced value is
LIST_POISON1 + 4, and by looking more at the debug symbols before
list_del call it should have being called by
i915_gem_request_remove_from_client
And as I can see in the code, it seems we indeed have the possibility
to remove a request->client_list twice, which would cause the above,
because we do list_del(&request->client_list) on both
i915_gem_request_remove_from_client and i915_gem_release
As Chris Wilson pointed out, it's indeed the case:
"(...) I had thought that the actual insertion/deletion was serialised
under the struct mutex and the intention of the spinlock was to protect
the unlocked list traversal during throttling. However, I missed that
i915_gem_release() is also called without struct mutex and so we do need
the double check for i915_gem_request_remove_from_client()."
This change does the required check to avoid the duplicate remove of
request->client_list.

On a Thinkpad x61s, I noticed some memory corruption when
plugging/unplugging the external VGA connection. The symptoms are that
4 bytes at the beginning of a page get overwritten by zeroes.
The address of the corruption varies when rebooting the machine, but
stays constant while it's running (so it's possible to repeatedly write
some data and then corrupt it again by plugging the cable).
Further investigation revealed that the corrupted address is
(dev_priv->status_page_dmah->busaddr & 0xffffffff), ie. the beginning of
the hardware status page of the i965 graphics card, cut to 32 bits.
So it seems that for some memory access, the hardware uses only 32 bit
addressing. If the hardware status page is located >4GB, this
corrupts unrelated memory.

It looks like gen2 has a peculiar interleaved 2-row inter-tile

naturally fit an even-number-of-tile-rows scheme to fit onto 4kb
pages). There is no other mention of this in any docs (also not

Problem manifests itself in corruptions in the second half of the
last tile row (if the bo has an odd number of tiles). Which can
only happen with relaxed tiling (introduced in a00b10c360).
So reject set_tiling calls that don't satisfy this constrain to
prevent broken userspace from causing havoc. While at it, also

The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things
and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in
certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented
and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This
way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen.
If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the
brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most
254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss.
A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of
max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because
from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look
like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always
result in a bright enough screen.
IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when
people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and
they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value.
Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough.
If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness
to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine.
